Tau longitudinal polarization in B -> D tau nu and its role in the search for charged Higgs boson

We study the longitudinal polarization of the tau lepton in B -> D tau nu decay. After discussing possible sensitivities of tau decay modes to the tau polarization, we examine the effect of charged Higgs boson on the tau polarization in B -> D tau nu. We find a relation between the decay rate and the tau polarization, and clarify the role of the tau polarization measurement in the search for the charged Higgs boson.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figures. Tau -> l nu nu is included in Sec. II. Accordingly the title is changed. References are adde

Pengaruh Citra Merek Terhadap Minat Beli (Survei Pada Mahasiswa Universitas Brawijaya Yang Menggunakan Pasta Gigi Pepsodent)

This study aimed to examine: the influence of Brand Image that consists of Corporate Image, Consumer Image and Product Image jointly onPurchase Intentio the influence of Brand Image that consists of Corporate Image, Consumer Image, and Product Image partially onPurchase Intention, and which dominant variable that influences onPurchase Intention. The type of research is explanatory research that uses quantitative approach. The sample is 112 respondents by using sampling purposive technique. Respondents are Brawijaya University students that use Pepsodent toothpaste. The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis and multiple linier regression with regard classical assumption. The research result shows that: Corporate Image, Consumer Image, and Product Image jointly influenced onPurchae Intention, the influence partially among variable shows that Corporate Image does not significantlyon Purchase Intention, Consumer Image significantly influence onPurchase Intention and Product Image has significantly influence onPurchase Intention, Product Image is dominant variable that has influence onPurchase Intention. The result of determination coefficient test shows that variable of Corporate Image, Consumer Image, and Product Image are influenced to Purchase Intention amount to 20,2 %. The amount left over is 79,8% variable of Purchase Intention will be influenced by other variable

Tinjauan Hukum Pidana Pelaku Kejahatan terhadap Kelompok Minoritas

Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah utuk mengetahui bagaimana tinjauan hukum pidana terhadap pelaku yang melakukan kejahatan terhadap kelompok minoritas dan bagaimana pemberlakuan sanksi pidana terhadap pelaku yang melakukan kejahatan terhadap kelompok minoritas. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif, maka penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan: 1. Tinjauan hukum pidana terhadap pelaku kejahatan terhadap kelompok minoritas, menunjukkan tindak pidana tersebut merukan tindak pidana khusus yang diatur dalam peraturan Perundang-undangan di luar Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana, karena tindak pidana terhadap kelompok minoritas merupakan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia terhadap kelompok atau perkumpulan tertentu berdasarkan diskriminasi ras dan etnis kebangsaan, budaya, agama, jenis kelamin dan kelompok tertentu lainnya dan bagi pelaku kejahatan terhadap kelompok minoritas sanksi pidana yang diberlakuan sesuai dengan peraturan Perundang-undangan yang berlaku di bidang hak asasi manusia. 2. Pemberlakuan sanksi pidana terhadap pelaku yang melakukan kejahatan terhadap kelompok minoritas terdiri sanksi pidana penjara dan pidana denda dimaksudkan untuk mencegah terjadinya kejahatan terhadap kelompok minoritas dan sebagai upaya penegakan hukum apabila perbuatan pidana telah terjadi guna memberikan efek jera bagi pelakunya dan bagi pihak lain agar tidak melakukan perbuatan yang sama

Direct Minimization Approaches on Static Problems of Membranes

Within this work, direct minimization approaches on static problems of membranes are discussed. In the first half, standard direct minimization methods are discussed. Some form-finding analyses of tension structures are also illustrated as simple direct minimization approaches. In the second half, the principle of virtual works for cables, membranes, and 3-dimensional bodies are examined and they are approximated in a common way by using Galerkin method. Finally, some examples that direct minimization approaches can solve are reported

Origin of intrinsic dark count in superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors

The origin of the decoherence in superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, the so-called dark count, was investigated. We measured the direct-current characteristics and bias-current dependencies of the dark count rate in a wide range of temperatures from 0.5 K to 4 K, and analyzed the results by theoretical models of thermal fluctuations of vortices. Our results indicate that the current-assisted unbinding of vortex-antivortex pairs is the dominant origin of the dark count.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
