    Energy is crucial to human sustenance and development. Due to the increase in the Demand of energy and deficiency in power generation, day by day the gap between demand and supply of electric energy is widening. Bridging this gap from the supply side is very difficult and expensive proposition. Also limited energy resources, scarcity of capital and high interest costs for the addition of new generation capacity is leading to the increased cost of electrical energy in India.  The only viable way to handle this crisis, apart from capacity addition, is the efficient use of available energy, which is possible only by continuously monitoring and controlling the use of electrical energy. Hence energy management program is a systematic and scientific process to identify the potential for improvements in energy efficiency, to recommend the ways with or without financial investment, to achieve estimated saving energy and energy cost. It is estimated that Industrial energy use in developing countries constitutes about 45-50 % of the total commercial energy consumption. Much of this energy is converted from imported oil, the price of which has increased tremendously so much so that most of developing countries spent more than 50 % of their foreign exchange earnings. Not with standing these fiscal constraints, developing countries need to expand its industrial base like us if it has to generate the resources to improve the quality of life of its people. The expansion of industrial base does require additional energy inputs which become more & more difficult in the present scenario. In this competitive world, cost competitiveness is very essential for survival of every individual have to save the energy so is equal to the generate energy. To establish any work / motive or task, energy in one or other form is an essential component. Thus the need to conserve energy, particularly in industry and commerce is strongly felt as the energy cost takes up substantial share in the overall cost structure of the operation. Hence it calls MANAGEMENT OF ENERGY or in other words MANAGEMENT OF RESOURCES or ENERGY CONSERVATION

Thesis English Education Study Program, Language and Arts Education Department, Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Palangka Raya University. Advisor : (I) Yulitriana, S.S., M.Pd (II) Merilyn Simbolon, M.Pd Key Word : Greeting Card Video and Imitative Writing. This research was conducted to find out using greeting card video and imitative writing technique to students’ ability in writing greeting card of the eight grade students of SMP Negeri 8 Palangka Raya in academic year 2019/2020. The population of this research was the eight grade of students SMPN 8 Palangka Raya. The sample was taken by using cluster random sampling sample ot this research was class VIII-9 of SMPN 8 Palangka Raya. The number of sample this research was 31 students. Writing test and questionnaire were used as the instrument in order to collect the data needed. The researcher applied parametic statistic in form t-test statistic. That was Dependent Sample T-Test to compare the score of pre-test and post-test on one group. The result of this research shows that there was an effect using using greeting card video and imitative writing on writing greeting card. It was provent by the result of the data analysis that was the comparison of pre-test and post-test scores, by using T-Test Statistic Formula. The test statistic result was 0,065, the critical value with 5% significance level and degree freedom (df)=30 was 2042. In this research, the difference between pre-test and post-test scores had an effect because the test statistic value was greater than critical value in Table Critical Value for Students Distribution 0,065<2042 The alternative hypothesis was accepted and null hypothesis was rejected. And also in the questionnaire, most of questions got positive responses which means that the results of the data was supported by the result of the questionnaire. Therefore it is suggest that Greeting Card Video and Imitative Writing can be used as an alternative technique in teaching and learning english

    Static Potential in N=4 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory

    We compute the leading order perturbative correction to the static potential in N=4{\cal N}=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We show that the perturbative expansion contains infrared logarithms which, when resummed, become logarithms of the coupling constant. The resulting correction goes in the right direction to match the strong coupling behavior obtained from the AdS/CFT correspondence. We find that the strong coupling extrapolation of the sum of ladder diagrams goes as g2N\sqrt{g^2N}, as in the supergravity approach.Comment: 8 pages, four figures using feynm

    Wave functions and decay constants of BB and DD mesons in the relativistic potential model

    Full text link
    With the decay constants of DD and DsD_s mesons measured in experiment recently, we revisit the study of the bound states of quark and antiquark in BB and DD mesons in the relativistic potential model. The relativistic bound state wave equation is solved numerically. The masses, decay constants and wave functions of BB and DD mesons are obtained. Both the masses and decay constants obtained here can be consistent with the experimental data. The wave functions can be used in the study of BB and DD meson decays.Comment: more discussion added, to appear in EPJ

    Heavy quarkonium: progress, puzzles, and opportunities

    Get PDF
    A golden age for heavy quarkonium physics dawned a decade ago, initiated by the confluence of exciting advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and an explosion of related experimental activity. The early years of this period were chronicled in the Quarkonium Working Group (QWG) CERN Yellow Report (YR) in 2004, which presented a comprehensive review of the status of the field at that time and provided specific recommendations for further progress. However, the broad spectrum of subsequent breakthroughs, surprises, and continuing puzzles could only be partially anticipated. Since the release of the YR, the BESII program concluded only to give birth to BESIII; the BB-factories and CLEO-c flourished; quarkonium production and polarization measurements at HERA and the Tevatron matured; and heavy-ion collisions at RHIC have opened a window on the deconfinement regime. All these experiments leave legacies of quality, precision, and unsolved mysteries for quarkonium physics, and therefore beg for continuing investigations. The plethora of newly-found quarkonium-like states unleashed a flood of theoretical investigations into new forms of matter such as quark-gluon hybrids, mesonic molecules, and tetraquarks. Measurements of the spectroscopy, decays, production, and in-medium behavior of c\bar{c}, b\bar{b}, and b\bar{c} bound states have been shown to validate some theoretical approaches to QCD and highlight lack of quantitative success for others. The intriguing details of quarkonium suppression in heavy-ion collisions that have emerged from RHIC have elevated the importance of separating hot- and cold-nuclear-matter effects in quark-gluon plasma studies. This review systematically addresses all these matters and concludes by prioritizing directions for ongoing and future efforts.Comment: 182 pages, 112 figures. Editors: N. Brambilla, S. Eidelman, B.

    Anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age in low- and middle-income countries between 2000 and 2018

    Get PDF
    Anemia is a globally widespread condition in women and is associated with reduced economic productivity and increased mortality worldwide. Here we map annual 2000–2018 geospatial estimates of anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age (15–49 years) across 82 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), stratify anemia by severity and aggregate results to policy-relevant administrative and national levels. Additionally, we provide subnational disparity analyses to provide a comprehensive overview of anemia prevalence inequalities within these countries and predict progress toward the World Health Organization’s Global Nutrition Target (WHO GNT) to reduce anemia by half by 2030. Our results demonstrate widespread moderate improvements in overall anemia prevalence but identify only three LMICs with a high probability of achieving the WHO GNT by 2030 at a national scale, and no LMIC is expected to achieve the target in all their subnational administrative units. Our maps show where large within-country disparities occur, as well as areas likely to fall short of the WHO GNT, offering precision public health tools so that adequate resource allocation and subsequent interventions can be targeted to the most vulnerable populations.Peer reviewe

    The charged-particle production ratios pˉ/p\bar{p}/p, K−/K+K^-/K^+, π−/π+\pi^-/\pi^+, (p+pˉ)/(π++π−)(p + \bar{p})/(\pi^+ + \pi^-), (K++K−)/(π++π−)(K^+ + K^-)/(\pi^+ + \pi^-) and (p+pˉ)/(K++K−)(p + \bar{p})/(K^+ + K^-) are measured with the LHCb detector using 0.3nb−10.3 {\rm nb^{-1}} of pppp collisions delivered by the LHC at s=0.9\sqrt{s} = 0.9 TeV and 1.8nb−11.8 {\rm nb^{-1}} at s=7\sqrt{s} = 7 TeV. The measurements are performed as a function of transverse momentum pTp_{\rm T} and pseudorapidity η\eta. The production ratios are compared to the predictions of several Monte Carlo generator settings, none of which are able to describe adequately all observables. The ratio pˉ/p\bar{p}/p is also considered as a function of rapidity loss, Δy≡ybeam−y\Delta y \equiv y_{\rm beam} - y, and is used to constrain models of baryon transport.Comment: Incorrect entries in Table 2 corrected.
