    At this time the concept about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), as the form of the interest and the company's responsibility in the environment and the community around began often was carried out by various companies, beside the aim of the company of getting the profit. In the CSR concept was known with triple bottom lines, that is the profit (the profit), the planet (the environment), and people (the community). Could be said by CSR and no longer only a social demand, but also became the company's strategy to be able to remain in the competition for the business to long-term, because of the existence of the positive attitude the community against the company. This research was the descriptive research quantitative, that had a purpose to know how the teacher s and employees attitude, as part of community, against the CSR program that was carried out by PT. X. Where the CSR program in this research take the form of 5 S training, and the distribution of the package of the nutrient and the health. With used census sampling, that became the subject in this research was all the teachers and the employees at the school that became the CSR program target the company, who was present at the time of the research. As for the sample of this research numbering 41 people. The data collection was carried out by using the scale of the attitude, that is Likert scale, against the program of CSR PT. X. Whereas the analysis method that was used was the analysis of the percentage. Results that were received showed that the teacher s and employees attitude against the program of CSR PT. X tended positive. Seen from the existence 58,54% the subject that had the positive attitude, whereas 41.46% subject that had the negative attitude. And what is more, was known that the benefit that was felt by the subject towards the CSR program the company was to make the environment better and comfortable, got nutritive information and the package of the nutrient that was very beneficial for the health, intelligence, and the progress of the studying process of the student, could change the habit was not better became better, and supportive for the progress of education. Moreover totalling 80.49% subject regarded the CSR program already exact and in accordance with the requirement for the community, whereas 9.76% subject regarded more inexact, and 9.76% subject regarded not yet exact. Moreover was gotten by 73.17% subject regarded had the other program that was more beneficial apart from the CSR program available, and 26.83% subject regarded did not have the other program that was more beneficial apart from the available program

    Travelling waves in two-dimensional plane Poiseuille flow

    The asymptotic structure of laminar modulated travelling waves in two-dimensional high-Reynolds-number plane Poiseuille flow is investigated on the upper-energy branch. A finite set of independent slowly varying parameters are identified which parameterize the solution of the Navier–Stokes equations in this subset of the phase space. Our parameterization of the weakly stable modes describes an attracting manifold of maximum-entropy configurations. The complementary modes, which have been neglected in this parameterization, are strongly damped. In order to seek a closure, a countably infinite number of modulation equations are derived on the long viscous time scale: a single equation for averaged kinetic energy and momentum; and the remaining equations for averaged powers of vorticity. Only a finite number of these vorticity modulation equations are required to determine the finite number of unknowns. The new results show that the evolution of the slowly varying amplitude parameters is determined by the vorticity field and that the phase velocity responds to these changes in the amplitude in accordance with the kinetic energy and momentum. The new results also show that the most crucial physical mechanism in the production of vorticity is the interaction between vorticity and kinetic energy, this interaction being responsible for the existence of the attractor

This is a pre-copyedited, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in [IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics ] following peer review. The version of record [ IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics (2014) 79(1): 22-32.] is available online at: http://imamat.oxfordjournals.org/content/79/1/22The first finite-dimensional parameterization of a subset of the phase space of the Navier-Stokes equations is presented. Travelling waves in two-dimensional plane Poiseuille flow are numerically shown to approximate maximum-entropy configurations. In a coordinate system moving with the phase velocity, the enclosed body of the flow exhibits a hyperbolic sinusoidal relationship between the vorticity and stream function. The phase velocity and two-amplitude parameters describe the stable manifold on the slow viscous time scale. This original parameterization provides a valuable visualization of this subset of the phase space of the Navier-Stokes equations. These new results provide physical insight into an important intermediate stage in the instability process of plane Poiseuille flow

    Mapping and valuation of ecosystems and economic activities along the coast of Cameroon: implications of future sea level rise.

    The vulnerability of the coastal zone of Cameroon to flooding from sea level rise (SLR) was quantified using Geographic Information System (GIS) flooding analysis. The main economic activities and ecosystems along this area were iden tified using secondary data. Valuations of non- market values of ecosystems were based on the ecosystem service product method. The low-lying coastal areas were found to be physically and socio-economically susceptible to impacts of SLR due to their high ecological and economic value. A digitised land use/land cover (LULC) classification was produced from low resolution topographic maps and Google Earth images of the area. The digital elevation model (DEM) used was acquired by the shuttle radar topography mission. Evaluation of potential land loss due to inundation was based on empirical approaches using minimum and maximum scenarios of 2 and 10 m flooding. These were estimated considering the best available SLR data for the area, mean high water levels and wave heights during storms. The estimated SLR range from 2.3 m to 9.2 m for the low and high scenarios, respectively, by 2050 and from 2.6 m to 9.7 m for the low and high scenarios, respectively, by the year 2100. Results indicate that 112 km 2 (1.2 %) and 1,216 km 2 (12.6 %) of the coastal area will be lost from a 2 m (equivalent to a low scenario by 2050) and 10 m (equivalent to a high scenario by 2100) flooding, respectively. 0.3 % to 6.3 % of ecosystems worth US$ 12.13 billion/yr could be at risk of flooding by the years 2050 and 2100. The areas under a serious threat cont ain mangroves, sea and airport, residential and industrial areas of Douala. Main plantation crops of banana and palms will be slightly affected. The identification of the soci o-economic impacts of projected SLR on vulnerable coastlines and populations is important for timely actions to be taken in mitigating the effects of natural disasters in the coastal zone
