    District Regulation Meranti Islands No. 13 of 2012 on Business Service Fees Ports that have been issued are expected to increase regional revenue originating from retribution withdrawal harbor, but since published in 2012 and held until 2015 had never withdrawal levy derived from port services achieve the targets set. This study aims to investigate the implementation of Regulation No. 13 Year 2012 regarding Business service levies Port Services and analyze the factors that affect the implementation of regional policy (Regulation No. 13 of 2012) Meranti Islands District.This study uses qualitative research methods with descriptive research, which can be interpreted as a problem-solving process was investigated by describing the state of the research subjects were based on the facts that appear during the study were then followed by the popularity of existing theories. Implementation of Regional Regulation (Perda) No. 13 of 2012 in implementation has not run optimally. Factors inhibiting the low / lack of socialization, community participation, and resources are low

    Commentary: Coordinated infraslow neural and cardiac oscillations mark fragility and offline periods in mammalian sleep.

    We read with interest the paper by Lecci et al. (2017), who showed oscillations of the electroencephalographic (EEG) spectral power in the sigma band (10\u201315 Hz) during non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep at frequencies in the infra-slow range (ISO = 0.001\u20130.1 Hz). The occurrence of this rhythm (sigma-ISO) in human subjects and mice, and its correlation with autonomic and behavioral components suggest that it reflects a fundamental physiological mechanism

    Multifractal point processes and the spatial distribution of wildfires in French Mediterranean regions

    Full text link
    We introduce a simple and wide class of multifractal spatial point patterns as Cox processes which intensity is multifractal, i.e., the class of Poisson processes with a stochastic intensity corresponding to a random multifractal measure. We then propose a maximum likelihood approach by means of a standard Expectation-Maximization procedure in order to estimate the distribution of these intensities at all scales. This provides, as validated on various numerical examples, a simple framework to estimate the scaling laws and therefore the multifractal properties for this class of spatial point processes. The wildfire distribution gathered in the Prom\'eth\'ee French Mediterranean wildfire database is investigated within this approach that notably allows us to compute the statistical moments associated with the spatial distribution of annual likelihood of fire event occurence. We show that for each order qq, these moments display a well defined scaling behavior with a non-linear spectrum of scaling exponents ζq\zeta_q. From our study, it thus appears that the spatial distribution of the widlfire ignition annual risk can be described by a non-trivial, multifractal singularity spectrum and that this risk cannot be reduced to providing a number of events per km2km^2. Our analysis is confirmed by a direct spatial correlation estimation of the intensity logarithms whose the peculiar slowly decreasing shape corresponds to the hallmark of multifractal cascades. The multifractal features appear to be constant over time and similar over the three regions that are studied.Comment: 41 pages, 14 figure

    Influence of the Vertex Region on Spin Dynamics in Artificial Kagome Spin Ice

    We present experimental and theoretical studies of spin-wave mode dynamics in artificial kagome spin ice vertices made of three identical 15-nm thick elongated Ni80Fe20 nanoislands (macrospins). We consider several possible configurations, from completely disjointed macrospins (full dipolar interelement interactions) to fully jointed macrospins (full dipolar-exchange interactions). Using angular-resolved magnetic field dependent broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR), we demonstrate the occurrence of a mode localized in the vertex region as indicated by the distinct behavior of the FMR spectra at different angles and configurations. Theoretical calculations using micromagnetic simulations support the existence, origin, and behavior of this mode by interpreting it as a localized, quasi-uniform Kittel mode. Our findings pave the way for designing the most appropriate network consisting of ferromagnetic nanomagnets for specific application purposes in magnonics

    A mass closure and PMF source apportionment study on the sub-micron sized aerosol fraction at urban sites in Italy

    Get PDF
    Sub-micron sized particles are of increasing concern owing to their effects on human health and on the environment. Up to now there are still very few studies on PM1 (i.e. particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter smaller than 1 mm) chemical characterisation; the sub-micron sized fraction is not under regulations although it is of interest because it is almost exclusively associated to anthropogenic sources. To perform the first large-scale assessment of sub-micron sized aerosol concentrations, composition and sources, two monitoring campaigns at three urban sites in Italy were carried out during the wintertime and summertime of 2004. Chemical characterisation (elements, soluble ionic fraction, elemental and organic carbon) was carried out on PM1 samples: major contributions were due to organic matter (about 30% in summer and 50% in winter) and ammonium sulphate (about 10% in winter and 40% in summer). During the cold season, nitrates also contributed up to 30% in Milan (lower contributions were registered at the other two urban sites). Chemical mass closure was achieved with an unaccounted mass in the range 14\u201322%. Positive Matrix Factorisation (PMF) was applied to identify the major submicron sized particles\u2019 sources

    Suppression of the spin waves nonreciprocity due to interfacial Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction by lateral confinement in magnetic nanostructures

    Full text link
    Despite the huge recent interest towards chiral magnetism related to the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction (iDMI) in layered systems, there is a lack of experimental data on the effect of iDMI on the spin waves eigenmodes of laterally confined nanostructures. Here we exploit Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) to analyze the spin wave eigenmodes of non-interacting circular and elliptical dots, as well as of long stripes, patterned starting from a Pt(3.4 nm)/CoFeB(0.8 nm) bilayer, with lateral dimensions ranging from 100 nm to 400 nm. Our experimental results, corroborated by micromagnetic simulations based on the GPU-accelerated MuMax3 software package, provide evidence for a strong suppression of the frequency asymmetry between counter-propagating spin waves (corresponding to either Stokes or anti-Stokes peaks in BLS spectra), when the lateral confinement is reduced from 400 nm to 100 nm, i.e. when it becomes lower than the light wavelength. Such an evolution reflects the modification of the spin wave character from propagating to stationary and indicates that the BLS based method of quantifying the i-DMI strength from the frequency difference of counter propagating spin waves is not applicable in the case of magnetic elements with lateral dimension below about 400 nm.Comment: Accepted for pubblication by: Physical Review
