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
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 , these moments display a well defined scaling behavior with
a non-linear spectrum of scaling exponents . 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 . 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
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
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
