The Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Method to Determine Energies and Wave Functions of Two-Electron Quantum Dot

The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method has been successfully applied to obtain energies and wave functions for two electrons in a quantum dot modeled by a three dimensional harmonic potential. The FDTD method uses the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation (TDSE) in imaginary time. The TDSE is numerically solved with an initial random wave function and after enough simulation time, the wave function converges to the ground state wave function. The excited states are determined by using the same procedure for the ground state with additional constraints that the wave function must be orthogonal with all lower energy wave functions. The numerical results for energies and wave functions for different parameters of confinement potentials are given and compared with published results using other numerical methods. It is shown that the FDTD method gives accurate energies and wave functions.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

THE BALINESE TRADITIONAL CULINAIR MUST BE SURVIVED AS A GREEN TOURISM TO PRESERVE SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

According to an International Magazine stated that Bali is the best of the world destination country, not famous only of the splendor of Bali and its unique culture, but also its culinair. (Bali Post, Nov 2015).Bali which is said to be the island of one thousand temples: Bali is the island of GODS; Bali is a paradise; also famous with various kinds of specific and typical traditional culinairs. (Sulistiyo, 2011, 94).This Balinese traditional culinair must be surfived as a green tourism to preserve sustainable tourism, to be able to be enjoyed by young generations (Picard, 1996, 64).This decision was committed during the audiency of Bali Post Newspaper Commity to PT. Sinar Sosro, the sales office of Bali & NUSRA Region, last Friday june 10th, 2016 just a few days ago. (Bali Post, June 2016).It is expected that by the frequently of culinair festival we can preserve sustainable tourism, and finally the Balinese Traditional Culinair could be surfived as a green tourism.

Development of an Educational Program to Increase Cultural Awareness and Tourism Ethics in Puri Gede Kaba Kaba

This research aims to determine the development of educational programs that can increase cultural awareness and tourism ethics in Puri Gede Kaba-Kaba. The qualitative research method focuses on collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation of thoughts to gain an in-depth understanding of the research subject. Through the Milles and Huberman data analysis method, this research identified implied meanings and comprehensive categorization of data, which was then interpreted to reveal relationships between categories. The research results show that the educational program developed successfully integrates the concept of Eudaimonia, Kant's deontological view, and Kohlberg's theory of moral development in character education. The program effectively teaches respect for local culture, environmental responsibility, and social awareness and contributes to preserving cultural heritage and the environment. This research concludes that comprehensive character education can improve moral character and wise decision-making among tourism actors and visitors, with direct implications for increasing the positive benefits of the tourism industry for local communities. The implications of this research also include recommendations for implementing similar educational programs in other tourism locations, involving more comprehensive collaboration with educational institutions and using social media to promote and evaluate tourism culture and ethics education activities

Penetapan Kawasan Tempat Suci dan Kawasan Pariwisata dalam Penataan Ruang di Bali

There are three major components within the space management that is reciprocally-related, they are: planning, utilizing, and space-controlling. Within the space management that takes place in the local sector, the aspect of planning belongs to the authority of the provincial government to uphold, meanwhile, the aspect of utilizing and space controlling are to be endorsed by the city or regency governing and administration. In the Province of Bali, the planning of space management has been arranged based upon the Local Regulation of Bali Province No 16 Year 2009. Within this regulation, there has been an overlapping conception regarding the enactment of the region of the holy places with the region of tourism. Among ten (1O) regions of holy places that have been stated by this regulation, there has been only one region of holy place that suits and consistent based upon its utility, which is being utilized as the region of holy place. On the other hand, the other nine (9) remaining region of holy places status have a/so been enacted as the region of tourism
