Semantik: Teori Semantik, Relasi Makna, Marked, dan Unmarked

AbstrakTujuan penulisan ini adalah untuk memberikan penjelasan serta contoh tentang teori semantik de Sausure, unsur makna, relasi makna, marked dan unmarked. Semantik adalah ilmu yang mempelajari arti di dalam bahasa. Semantik berkaitan dengan hubungan makna seperti dalam sinonimi, antonimi, dan hiponimi. Semantik merupakan ilmu pengetahuan yang direkam dalam pustaka bahasa dan dalam pola-pola pembentukannya untuk arti yang lebih rumit dan juga lebih luas sampai ke taraf arti dalam kata. Konsep teori de Saussure ini dikembangkan lagi oleh Richard dan Ogdent. Dalam sebuah bagan makna berupa segi tiga yang menghubungkan tiga komponen makna, yaitu bentuk, konsep, dan referen. Dalam semantik ada konsep kebermarkahan yang terdiri atas bermarkah (marked) dan tidak bermarkah (unmarked). Kebermarkahan adalah ciri lain dari pertentangan bergradasi. Anggota yang tidak bermarkah (unmarked) digunakan dalam pertanyaan untuk menanyakan derajat.Keyword: teori de sausure, unsur makna, sekantik, relasi makna, marked, unmarked
Veracity

This chapter turns to popular texts, focusing on a set of lay sociologies and “prostitute autobiographies” in the rapidly expanding world of print in the period from the 1870s until the 1940s. In this archive of popular texts, the chapter reveals that ideas of deviant female sexuality exceeded the closed worlds of formal philology, the government-mandated survey, the pathological diagnosis of forensic science, and the theoretical models of ethnology. In exposés and autobiographies, writers claimed that the prostitute was essential for comprehending the dangers of society. The chapter shows how the idea of the sexually deviant woman appeared as the secret of social life in scenes of impurity and pollution. These lay sociologies and life stories demonstrate the pervasive presence of a social imaginary that utilized the concept of the prostitute to create a regime of empirical truth.
A Knowledge-Engineered Autonomous Mixing System

In this paper a knowledge-engineered mixing engine is introduced that uses semantic mixing rules and bases mixing decisions on instrument tags as well as elementary, low-level signal features. Mixing rules are derived from practical mixing engineering textbooks. The performance of the system is compared to existing automatic mixing tools as well as human engineers by means of a listening test, and future directions are established.
De novo sequencing of the transcriptome of Fargesia macclureana (Poaceae) reveals regulators of the floral transition and ecological adaptations to high altitude

Background: Fargesia macclureana (Poaceae) is a woody bamboo species found on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) approximately 2,000 ~ 3,800 m above sea level. It rarely blossoms in the QTP, but it flowered 20 days after growing in our lab, which is in a low-altitude area outside the QTP. To date, little is known regarding the molecular mechanism of bamboo flowering, and no studies of flowering have been conducted on wild bamboo plants growing in extreme environments. Here, we report the first de novo transcriptome sequence for F. macclureana to investigate the putative mechanisms underlying the flowering time control used by F. macclureana to adapt to its environment. Results: Illumina deep sequencing of the F. macclureana transcriptome generated 140.94 Gb of data, assembled into 99,056 unigenes. A comprehensive analysis of the broadly, specifically and differentially expressed unigenes (BEUs, SEUs and DEUs) indicated that they were mostly involved in metabolism and signal transduction, as well as DNA repair and plant-pathogen interactions, which may be of adaptive importance. In addition, comparison analysis between non-flowering and flowering tissues revealed that expressions of FmFT and FmHd3a, two putative F. macclureana orthologs, were differently regulated in NF- vs F- leaves, and carbohydrate metabolism and signal transduction were two major KEGG pathways that DEUs were enriched in. Finally, we detected 9,296 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) that may be useful for further molecular marker-assisted breeding. Conclusions: F. macclureana may have evolved specific reproductive strategies for flowering-related pathways in response to photoperiodic cues to ensure long vegetation growing period. Our findings will provide new insights to future investigations into the mechanisms of flowering time control and adaptive evolution in plants growing at high altitudes.
Borehole hydraulic coal mining system analysis

The borehole hydraulic coal mining system accesses the coal seam through a hole drilled in the overburden. The mining device is lowered through the hole into the coal seam where it fragments the coal with high pressure water jets which pump it to the surface as a slurry by a jet pump located in the center of the mining device. The coal slurry is then injected into a pipeline for transport to the preparation plant. The system was analyzed for performance in the thick, shallow coal seams of Wyoming, and the steeply pitching seams of western Colorado. Considered were all the aspects of the mining operation for a 20-year mine life, producing 2,640,000 tons/yr. Effects on the environment and the cost of restoration, as well as concern for health and safety, were studied. Assumptions for design of the mine, the analytical method, and results of the analysis are detailed.

Designing User Interfaces for Mobile Web

The popularity of modern mobile phones has led to more people using their mobile phones to access the Internet. The majority of web sites today are not designed to adapt to the smaller screens and other limitations of mobile devices. This places new demands on user interface design and it is clear that website owners must start to adapt their websites for mobile use. Designing for mobile web can be challenging and there are a lot of aspects to consider. In this thesis we provide theory as well as practical advice on how to design usable user interfaces for mobile web sites, especially in the area of campaign and event marketing and booking services. This thesis uses a six-step design process for creating a mobile web design concept for a web-based event and campaign booking service. The design process was shown to be successful for creating the design concept. The design concept is presented as a high fidelity, interactive prototype created using the mobile user interface framework jQuery Mobile.

Power System Stabilizer Design for Multimachine Power System Using Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller

In this paper, an interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller based; power system stabilizer (IT2 FPSS) is designed. The input signals to the controller are considered as speed deviation & acceleration and voltage as an output signal. The performance of IT2 FPSS is evaluated on a four-machine ten-bus power system. The location of the IT2 FPSS is determined using participation factor method. The graphical performance with IT2 FPSS is compared to the performance of these power systems without PSS & with type-1 fuzzy logic controller based PSS (FPSS). The above performances are evaluated in terms of ITAE & ISE. The response with IT2 FPSS is better to its counterparts as above.
Encrypted Mode Select ADS-B Tactical Military Situational Awareness

Abstract : Mid-air collisions between tactical military aircraft occur somewhat frequently and are a product of the inherent danger of dynamic maneuvering and flight at high airspeeds. Each collision results in significant loss to the military in terms of aircrew injury or fatality and airframe damage or loss. However, tactical aircraft do not have a collision avoidance or situational awareness aid. A potential solution to improve pilots' awareness of proximate traffic is Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B). Existing civil ADS-B systems are problematic for military use, because the broadcast data is not secure. In this thesis, we explore the feasibility of encryption for adapting civil Mode Select (Mode S) ADS-B to a secure military ADS-B system. Encryption theory applicable to ADS-B is reviewed. Modifications to the existing civil Mode S system required for encrypted ADS-B are identified, as well as required format modifications. The feasibility of encryption is discussed in terms of necessary security services for secure ADS-B: confidentiality, identification, authentication, and integrity. We examine the trade-offs between different types of conventional encryption techniques to provide these services, and conclude that encryption can be successfully applied to Mode S ADS-B. A feasible approach for encrypted ADS-B is presented.
Identification of a prognostic three-long noncoding RNA signature in lung squamous cell carcinoma via bioinformatic analysis

Background Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a form of cancer that is associated with high rates of relapse, poor responsiveness to therapy, and a relatively poor prognosis. The relationship between long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression and LSCC patient prognosis remains to be established. Methods In the present study, we discovered that lncRNAs were differentially expressed in LSCC tumor tissues relative to normal control tissues, and we explored the prognostic relevance of these lncRNA expression patterns using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Results These multidimensional data were analyzed in order to identify lncRNA signatures that were associated with LSCC patient survival outcomes. Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed prognostic capabilities for three of these lncRNAs (LINC02555, APCDD1L-DT and OTX2-AS1). A Cox regression analysis revealed this three-lncRNA signature to be significantly associated with patient survival. Further GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the predicted target genes of these three lncRNAs were also potentially involved in cancer-associated pathways. Conclusions Together these results thus indicate that this novel three-lncRNA signature can be used to predict LSCC patient prognosis.
Computer-Supported Simulation at the National Fire Academy. Lessons Learned for Incident Command Training.

Abstract : The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) and the National Fire Academy (NFA) are pursuing a joint effort to transfer training and training development technology from the U.S. Army to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The goal of the effort is to enhance emergency management training through computer-supported simulation. The Army's research on simulation-based unit training and tactical decision making can benefit NFA. This report summarizes results of an initial effort to transfer Army experience to the Academy. The report describes NFA simulation methodology as a baseline from which future upgrades will be made and recommends ways to introduce computer-aiding to support management of simulation exercises and performance assessment. The recommendations address the near-term goal of introducing computer-supported simulations at the NFA campus and the long-range goal of distributing simulation nationwide. (KAR) P. 3

An approach for assessment of waterborne bioavailable organic contaminants using Semipermeable Membrane Devices (SPMDS)

A large amount of anthropogenic, organic pollutants has entered the global aquatic environment during the past decades. Many of them, like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, polichlorinated biphenyls and dioxins are considered to be hazardous to the environment. Their mobility through air and water, accumulation and/or transformation processes in the environment and finally their biomagnification, constitute a real risk to human health, wildlife and the environment [1,31]. Most of organic micropollutants are hydrophobic and biochemically resistant that cause the compounds bioconcentrate in the fatty tissues of organisms. Knowledge of the potential bioavailability of a pollutant, present in the environment is essential for ecosystem risk assessment and further effects studies [11,34]. This has induced many countries to promote monitoring programs and stepwise evaluation processes. Limitations in nearly all currently employed techniques and analytical methodology impede comprehensive exposure assessments. These limitations include the use of single point in time sampling methods, analytical methods having insufficient sensitivity to determine trace levels of contaminants in water. Bivalve mollusks have been recommended by many as the most suitable monitoring organisms for bioaccumulation of trace contaminants in fresh, marine and estuarine waters [11]. Programs such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Status and Trends program [19,33] exemplify the utility of this approach to pollutant monitoring. However, monitoring with mussels often encounters some problems, like
Photoacoustic Detection of Red Blood Cell Aggregation

The potential of photoacoustic imaging for detecting red blood cell (RBC) aggregation is explored. Enhanced aggregation is observed in disorders such as diabetes impairing oxygen release into tissue. Simultaneous measurements of aggregation and oxygenation levels cannot be made using current tools. Photoacoustic detection of aggregation and assessment of oxygen saturation was investigated. A theoretical and experimental model of aggregation was developed using human and porcine RBCs. Frequency-domain analysis of the PA signals was used to derive the spectral slope and midband fit of the normalized power spectra for various hematorit and aggregation conditions. Oxygen saturation was assessed using multiple wavelengths of illumination. The experimental spectral slope (~0.3 dB/MHz) for non-aggregated samples agreed with the theory decreasing with increasing aggregate size. The midband fit increased by ~5 dB when the aggregate size reached the largest level while the oxygen saturation increased by > 20%. These results suggest that photoacoustic-radio-frequency-spectroscopic-parameters have the potential to monitor RBC aggregation and oxygenation level.

Probabilistic modeling of business interruption and reputational losses for process facilities

This article presents probabilistic models to estimate business losses due to abnormal situations in process facilities. The main elements of business loss are identified as business interruption loss and reputational loss. The business interruption insurance approach is used to model business interruption loss. The subelements of business interruption loss are modeled based on expert knowledge using Program Evaluation Review Technique, which are then integrated using the Monte Carlo simulation approach. The reputational loss is considered as Weibull distributed, and the parameters are estimated by applying a scenario‐based approach. Copula functions are then used to develop the distribution of the aggregate loss, considering the correlation between business interruption and reputational losses. The application of the loss models is demonstrated using a distillation column case study. The models presented here provide a mechanism to monitor process facility's business performance, with associated uncertainties, and to make swift operational and safety decisions. This will help to improve process facilities safety performance and optimal allocation of resources where they are needed the most. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog 34: 373–382, 2015
The Road of Trials: Management Concepts In Documentary Film Production In Australia

New technologies affecting work and organizational design, unclear work functions and roles, communication problems, cross-cultural management problems, lack of knowledge transfer and industrial disputes the catalogue of problems that affect the Australian film Industry (AFI) in general reads like a curriculum in the management discipline. Management and organizational studies have obviously neglected the film production industry and only few established management research programs tackle the film industry (Blair 2000, Cunningham 2002, Starkey, Barnatt & Tempest 2000). This project investigates projects in the AFI from a management perspective, with the objective to develop a theoretical framework and evaluate various management design concepts.
Development of an air-scour control system for membrane bioreactors

The thesis involves the development and implementation of a new and robust control system based on permeability trends but at the same time capable of reducing aeration proportionally to permeate flux. Permeability was made a key parameter for directly comparing temporary changes in membrane performance. Transmembrane pressure and flux were gathered every 10 seconds and permeability values were automatically calculated; different mathematical algorithms were applied for the signal filtering of on-line data. Short term and long term permeability trends were compared once a day, and a control action was applied proportionally to the short term/long term permeability ratio without exceeding the aeration flow recommended by the membrane suppliers.
A NORTHEAST BORROWER TRAINING PROGRAM: EVOLUTION AND IMPACTS

A financial training program designed by Cooperative Extension specialists was provided to over 2,000 USDA/FSA borrowers from the Northeast during the period 1994-1999. Key to the success of the workshops was an in-depth, user-friendly curriculum that evolved over time, eventually replacing satellite-feed instruction with pre-taped videos. Cluster analysis classified nearly 70 percent of workshop participants as "Low Finance Priority" or "Low Finance Knowledge. " Farmers in these clusters received a relatively greater educational benefit from the program than those not in these clusters. Impact analysis indicated that perceived annual gain in farm net worth from application of workshop tools ranged from approximately $5,000 to $10,000. The training addressed the needs of producers typically isolated from Cooperative Extension because the workshop was the only extension program attended that year by nearly two-thirds of them.
THE STRUCTURE OF TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS

Abstract : This monograph concerns the structure, geometry, mesh, pattern, or layout of transportation networks. These words convey notions of the arrangements of routes, intersections, and terminals on the earth's surface, and these notions provide an adequate general identification of the concern of this research. Operational definitions are used when particular subjects are treated. For instance, a later section treats changes in the structures of networks when transportation systems are expanded and operational definitions are given at that time consistent with the needs of the subject. Suitable operational definitions are given for the comparison of transportation networks with each other. (Author)
