Phenomenological renormalizaiton group approach to the anisotropic two-layer Ising model

The anisotropic two-layer Ising model is studied by the phenomenological renormalizaiton group method. It is found that the anisotropic two-layer Ising model with symmetric couplings belongs to the same universality class as the two dimensional Ising model.Comment: 10 page

Sanksi Potong Tangan Bagi Pelaku Tindak Pidana Pencurian dalam Perspektif Hukum Islam

Cutting hand penalty for theft cases, according to Muslim jurists’ view, is a maximum penalty, and hence, not all of such cases deserve for this mode of penalty. In case that the requirements for the implementation of such penalty cannot be found in a theft case, cutting hand may not be implemented and ta’zir shall apply instead. Ta’zir then, is considered as an educative penal system which falls under the authority of the judges to exercise their ijtihad capability

In-network Sparsity-regularized Rank Minimization: Algorithms and Applications

Given a limited number of entries from the superposition of a low-rank matrix plus the product of a known fat compression matrix times a sparse matrix, recovery of the low-rank and sparse components is a fundamental task subsuming compressed sensing, matrix completion, and principal components pursuit. This paper develops algorithms for distributed sparsity-regularized rank minimization over networks, when the nuclear- and $\ell_1$-norm are used as surrogates to the rank and nonzero entry counts of the sought matrices, respectively. While nuclear-norm minimization has well-documented merits when centralized processing is viable, non-separability of the singular-value sum challenges its distributed minimization. To overcome this limitation, an alternative characterization of the nuclear norm is adopted which leads to a separable, yet non-convex cost minimized via the alternating-direction method of multipliers. The novel distributed iterations entail reduced-complexity per-node tasks, and affordable message passing among single-hop neighbors. Interestingly, upon convergence the distributed (non-convex) estimator provably attains the global optimum of its centralized counterpart, regardless of initialization. Several application domains are outlined to highlight the generality and impact of the proposed framework. These include unveiling traffic anomalies in backbone networks, predicting networkwide path latencies, and mapping the RF ambiance using wireless cognitive radios. Simulations with synthetic and real network data corroborate the convergence of the novel distributed algorithm, and its centralized performance guarantees.Comment: 30 pages, submitted for publication on the IEEE Trans.

Recovery of Low-Rank Plus Compressed Sparse Matrices with Application to Unveiling Traffic Anomalies

Given the superposition of a low-rank matrix plus the product of a known fat compression matrix times a sparse matrix, the goal of this paper is to establish deterministic conditions under which exact recovery of the low-rank and sparse components becomes possible. This fundamental identifiability issue arises with traffic anomaly detection in backbone networks, and subsumes compressed sensing as well as the timely low-rank plus sparse matrix recovery tasks encountered in matrix decomposition problems. Leveraging the ability of $\ell_1$- and nuclear norms to recover sparse and low-rank matrices, a convex program is formulated to estimate the unknowns. Analysis and simulations confirm that the said convex program can recover the unknowns for sufficiently low-rank and sparse enough components, along with a compression matrix possessing an isometry property when restricted to operate on sparse vectors. When the low-rank, sparse, and compression matrices are drawn from certain random ensembles, it is established that exact recovery is possible with high probability. First-order algorithms are developed to solve the nonsmooth convex optimization problem with provable iteration complexity guarantees. Insightful tests with synthetic and real network data corroborate the effectiveness of the novel approach in unveiling traffic anomalies across flows and time, and its ability to outperform existing alternatives.Comment: 38 pages, submitted to the IEEE Transactions on Information Theor

Genre Baru Kasidah Sufistik di Indonesia 2001-2010

The process of Islamization has caused acculturation among the Nusantara and foreign  culture. One of them is in the field of music, namely “Kasidah”. Initially the kasidah only used a tambourine instrument (rebana), later in its development it was mixed with Western musical instruments (guitar, bass, keyboard and drums), its name became the modern kasidah. Along with the development of the times, the Kasidah also went through a process of deculturation. Where the kasidah is no longer unique to the rebana, musicians in Indonesia have left the tambourine and only use modern musical instruments. a new genre emerged in kasidah, namely pop kasidah. This study uses historical research methods, namely research models that study past events based on the traces they have left. This research method is carried out in four stages, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography. In 2001, a Sufi Muslim music group was born with personnel from various countries, namely Dust. They use many musical instruments from various countries as well, this is what causes the music color of Dust to be different from the others

Analisa Yuridis Penyelesaian Utang Jaminan Grosse Akta Hak Tanggungan di Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Selatan Penetapan Nomor 04/Eks.HT/PN.Jkt.Sel

Perlindungan hukum dapat diartikan sebagai perlindungan suatu pemberian jaminan atau kepastian seseorang mendapatkan yang menjadi haknya dan kewajibannya, sehingga yang bersangkutan merasa aman. Terutama pada setiap pemberian kredit bank sering kali berhadapan pada permasalahan risiko wanprestasi yang dilakukan oleh pihak debitur, di saat inilah perlunya bagi para pihak untuk kepastian hukum yang merupakan suatu kondisi yang mutlak diperlukan bank sebagai pelepas uang (kreditur). Di mana salah satunya grosse akta pengakuan utang merupakan salah satu produk hukum yang mempunyai irah-irah di kepalanya “Demi Keadilan Berdasarkan Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa,” yang mempunyai kekuatan eksekutorial sama seperti putusan hakim yang mempunyai kekuatan hukum tetap, dapat memberikan suatu kepastian hukum bagi perbankan dan debitur, di mana grosse akta itu sendiri sebagai alternatif penyelesaian perkara secara sederhana, cepat dan murah. Serta untuk menjamin penyelesaian sengketa utang piutang yang mempunyai kekuatan eksekusi. Dalam penelitian penulis berkesimpulan terhadap eksekusi grosse akta hak tanggungan yang dilakukan PT. Bank Parahyangan Nusantara dengan Susliyanto dalam Perkara Penetapan Nomor 04/Eks.HT/PN.Jkt.Sel, eksekusi yang dijalankan terhadap putusan pengadilan yang telah memperoleh kekuatan hukum tetap. Dalam Proses eksekusi yang telah memenuhi syarat-syarat serta tahapan-tahapan untuk melakukan eksekusi grosse akta hak tanggungan melalui ketua pengadilan yaitu penetapan peringatan (Aanmaning), penetapan sita eksekusi dan penetapan lelang. Kata Kunci: grosse, hak tanggungan, lelang, sengketa utang piutang
