Kapribaden Neurotis-e Paraga Sajrone Cerbungwanita Buronanggitane Sanijo Raf: Tintingan Psikoanalisis Karen Horney

Panliten iki njlentrehake wujud kapribaden neurotis-e paraga Hermanto lan Sawitri anggone ngrampungi masalah-masalah sajrone lelakonn uripe kang sesambungan karo rasa sumengit lan rasa sumelang saengga nuwuhake cara-cara tartamtu. Cara-cara tartamtu kang ditindakake kaloro paraga kasebut mujudake gegambaran saka kapribadene neurotis-e kaloro paraga kasebut. Lelandhesan tintingan psikoanalisis Karen Horney, cara-cara tartamu kanggo ngrampungi rasa sumengit lan sumelang bisa ditindakake kanthi telung cara sing onjo minangka ancase panliten sajrone panliten iki, yaiku: (1) wujud kapribaden neurotis-w paraga kanthi cara nyedhaki wong liya, (2) wujud kapribaden neurotis-e paraga kanthi cara nglawan wong liya, (3) wujud kapribaden neurotis-e paraga kanthi cara ngedohi wong liya. Pamarekan sing digunakake sajrone panliten iki yaiku pamarekan psikologi sastra. Panliten iki kalebu wujud panliten dheskriptif kualitatif. Teknik pangumpulaning dhata sajrone panliten iki nggunakake teknik maca lan cathet, kanthi cara maca sumber dhata lan nyathet tembung-tembung utawa ukara sing laras lan trep karo underaning panliten. Sumber panliten kang digunakake yaiku cerbung Wanita Buron . Asiling panliten yaiku: (1) kecenderungan neurotik kanthi cara nyedhaki wong liya ditindakake paraga Hermanto lan Sawitri minangka cara ngrampungi rasa sumelang awujud nggayuh kabutuhan tumrap rasa sih tresna lan tinarima liya, mitra utawa kanca sing bisa menehi pangaribawa sing gedhe, lan urip narima ing pandum, (2) kecenderungan neurotik kanthi cara nglawan wong liya ditindakake paraga Hermanto lan Sawitri minangka cara ngrampungi rasa sumelang awujud nggayuh kabutuhan tumrap kewenangan, nggunakake wong liya, rasa panghargyan sosial utawa gengsi, rasa nggumun utawa bombong marang awake dhewe, lan ambisi utawa gegayuhan pribadi, lan (3) kecenderungan neurotik kanthi cara ngedohi wong liya ditindakake paraga Hermanto lan Sawitri minangka cara ngrampungi rasa sumelang awujud nggayuh kabutuhan tumrap urip mandhiri lan bebas, lan kasampurnan utawa rasa ora mungkin salah. Tembung-tembung wigati : Neurotis, Psikoanalisis Sosial, lan kapribaden neurotis (Kecenderungan Neurotik)

Using NMR to Measure Fractal Dimensions

A comment is made on the recent PFG NMR measurements by Stallmach, et al. on water-saturated sands [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 105505 (2002)]. It is pointed out that the usual law for the time-dependent diffusion coefficient D(t) used by these authors is not valid for a fractal surface. It is shown that (1-D(t)/D0) \~ t^[(3-Ds)/2] at short times for a surface of fractal dimension Ds, where D0 is the bulk diffusion coefficient. Preliminary PFG NMR data on water saturated limestone and plastic beads are presented to illustrate this analysis.Comment: 1 page, 1 figur

Quality of Move-Optimal Schedules for Minimizing the Vector Norm of the Workloads

We study the problem of minimizing the vector norm $||\cdot||_p$ of the workloads. We examine move-optimal assignments and prove a performance guarantee of $\frac{2^p-1}{p} \cdot \left(\frac{p-1}{2^p-2}\right)^{\frac{p-1}{p}},$ for any integer $p>1$ and moreover, we show that this guarantee is tight. Additionally, we consider assignments obtained by applying the LPT-heuristic of Graham (1969). We prove that an LPT-assignment has a performance guarantee of $\frac{3^p-2^p}{p} \cdot \left(\frac{p-1}{2 \cdot 3^p - 3 \cdot 2^p}\right)^{\frac{p-1}{p}},$ which reproves a result of Chandra and Wong (1975)

[Review of] Jade Snow Wong. Fifth Chinese Daughter

I am personally delighted to see the re-issue of Jade Snow Wong\u27s autobiographical novel, Fifth Chinese Daughter. Shortly after I arrived in the U.S. in 1959 as a rather bewildered young girl immigrant of twelve, it was my good fortune to have stumbled onto -- in the local public library -- Jade Snow Wong\u27s wonderful story of growing up Chinese and female in America, in both the ethnic enclave of Chinatown and the San Francisco Bay Area\u27s white college and working worlds. It helped me better understand the experience of being an American-Chinese, the term used in those days. The re-issue has allowed me to introduce the book to my American-born daughters, 15 and 12, who not only enjoyed immensely the story itself, but have gained invaluable insights into their Chinese and Chinese American heritage

Color Diffusion and Conductivity in a Quark-Gluon Plasma

Color diffusion is shown to be an important dissipative property of quark-gluon plasmas that rapidly damps collective color modes. We derive the characteristic color relaxation time scale, $t_c\approx (3\alpha_s T \log(m_E/m_M ))^{-1}$, showing its sensitivity to the ratio of the static color electric and magnetic screening masses. This leads to a surprisingly small color conductivity, $\sigma_c\approx 2 T/\log(m_E/m_M)$, which in fact vanishes in the semi-classical (1-loop) limit.Comment: 11 pages, Columbia University Preprint CU-TP-59
