There were five translation procedures applied in translating the photography terms including the literal, transference, naturalization, functional equivalent, and couplet procedures.
The modes adaptation function in a rectangular waveguide using an integrated taper metamaterial at microwave bandwidth

 Abstract — The tapers are unavoidable components in the field of telecommunication especially in integrated optics and optoelectronics. They provide a smooth signal transition between different sizes waveguides without affecting the guided modes. In this work, we propose to perform the adaptation function of modes using metamaterials tapers exploiting the compression of Cartesians coordinates technic. The technique that has been used for the first time for highlighting the cloaking phenomenon is based upon the invariance of Maxwell equations. The performances of a conventional taper are faced to metamaterials ones designed from a linear, exponential and parabolic transformation of the Cartesians coordinates in terms of transmission rate.

Pengaruh Rongga dalam Beton terhadap Kuat Tekan Beton

Dunia usaha properti dan jasa kontruksi selain mempertimbangkan unsur ekonomis dan kekuatan, juga memperhatikan segi estetika. Dalam hal memenuhi tuntutan estetika, misalnya dengan menyembunyikan atau menutup instalasi air kotor, air bersih, listrik dan sebagainya ke dalam beton, dengan cara membuat beton berongga (berlubang) pada bagian tengahnya sehingga terlihat rapi, namun hal ini kurang diperhatikan dampak yang terjadi dalam hal kekuatannya. Diantara beberapa dampak yang mungkin akan timbul dengan adanya lubang adalah kemampuan beton menahan beban. Dalam penelitian ini yang diamati adalah pengaruh rongga pada beton silinder 15 cm x 30 cm. dengan beban aksial tekan yang mampu dipikul oleh beton dengan variasi rongga, 0%, 2,2%(½”), 3%(3/4”), 4,5%(1”), 9%(11/4”) dari luas penampang pada umur 28 hari. Dari hasil penelitian didapat, adanya lubang 0% - 9 % dari luas penampang benda uji, kuat tekan beton mengalami penurunan secara signifikan. Pada rongga 2,2% kekuatan beton 328,23 kg/cm² (menurun16,76%), pada rongga 3% kekuatan beton 313,20 kg/cm² (menurun 20,57%), pada rongga 4,5% kekuatan beton 279,19 kg/cm² (menurun 29,19%), sedangkan pada rongga 9% kekuatan beton 224,53 kg/cm² (menurun 43,05%) dibandingkan dengan yang tanpa rongga (0% ). Hasil penelitian ini menguatkan pernyataan yang ada di SNI 03 – 2847 – 2002 yang menyatakan, bahwa saluran dan pipa, bersama kaitnya, yang ditanam pada kolom tidak boleh menempati lebih dari 4 % luas penampang yang diperlukan untuk kekuatan atau untuk perlindungan terhadap kebakaran. Sehingga apabila lebih besar dari 4 % maka pengaruh rongga perlu diperhitungkan terhadap kekuatannya yang akan menyebabkan penurunan kekuatan dari kolom tersebut.
A LONG-SHORT VOWEL DICIIOTOMY IN FLUENT ENGLISH ?

American English vowels are usually put into two categories: long vs short or tense vs lax, the supporting data coming from non-spontaneous speech. Duration data from free conversation are consistent with this view, in that lrueA/ are shorter than /ioeuaoae/. But /weA/ occupy a range ofdurations that is not in any sense discontinuous with the range of durations manifested by the remaining vowels of the language. INTRODUCTION The vowels of English have long been said to fall into two categories, involving a dimension [. +_long] and/or [itense] and/or [:ATR] (advanced tongue root). There are both phonological and phonetic motivations for making this division. Among the latter is the view that in the particular pairs /r-i/ lu-u/ lc-e/ a salient difference between the first and second vowels is durational, which might perhaps be "explained" by a difference in either tensity or in the position of the root of the tongue. However all the vowels of the language are usually assigned to one or the other category, even if not all those of one of the categories are unequivocally paired with particular members of the other. Of course, all the pairings proposed involve clear differences in timbre. Here we will put to one side any consideration of "tensity" or tongue-root position, focussing on length, an auditory attribute that ostensibly corresponds to the measurable duration of the “vocalic stretch” in an acoustic signal. Although the phonological literature does not show complete agreement on the> membership of the two categories, there is considerable overlap among the various classifications that have been proposed. Thus everyone reports IrucA/ as short or lax, while /iueo/ are long or tense. The status of /aoae/ is less clear. So for Goldsmith [1] haze/rauo/ are short, all others long. But others view /a/ and /ae/ as being long. From a presumably more phonetic perspective, however, /ae/ has been called lax (and therefore short? ) as against the tense /u/ [3]. Confounding the issue is that vowel height is also a determinant of vowel duration, low vowels being longer than high ones [4]. For certain views expressed on the matter it is unclear whether the long-short (or tense-lax) classification is phonetically based or is rather motivated by phonological (including phonotactic) considerations. The best known phonetic study of the matter [2] supports the view that /IU€A/ are relatively short, but does not clearly suggest a short-long dichotomy (Fig.1).
Emotional Abuse and Psychological Well-Being of College Students

Emotional abused is said to be hard to detect because of its covert nature, but it can cause in developing different psychological problems in later life. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of emotional abuse to the psychological well-being of the college students, specifically those who are enrolled in one of the universities in Laguna. An online survey was distributed through social media platforms which was completed by a total of 205 respondents (60 males and 145 females). The study revealed that the family is the greatest contributor to emotional abuse followed by the community. The forms of emotional abuse experienced by the students were being compared, silent treatment, forced to be okay, and situations leading to questioning own worth and achievements. However, participant’s level of psychological well-being was still at a moderate level. Respondent’s profile as to emotional abuse and to psychological well-being were rejected for significant relationship in some variables. Meanwhile, emotional abuse is significant to the psychological well-being of college students. Further studies are needed to identify the other causes of emotional abuse and its preventative measures, and other factors that affect the psychological well-being of students.
A Novel Algorithm for Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks

The rapid growth in wireless communication technology has led to a scarcity of spectrum. But, studies are saying that licensed spectrum is underutilized. Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) seem to be a promising solution to this problem by allowing unlicensed users to access the unused spectrum opportunistically. In this paper we proposed a novel spectrum sensing algorithm to improve the probabilities of detection and false alarm in a CRN, using the traditional techniques of energy and first order correlation detection. Results show a significant improvement in performance in cooperative spectrum sensing.

Implementasi Fuzzy C-Means dan Model RFM untuk Segmentasi Pelanggan (Studi Kasus : PT. XYZ)

Era globalisasi yang disertai dengan berlakunya MEA menyebabkan persaingan dalam berbagai sektor bisnis, termasuk sektor industri. Hal ini memaksa perusahaan-perusahaan yang bergerak di sektor industri di Indonesia untuk bersaing dengan negara-negara tetangga di ASEAN, termasuk PT. XYZ. Banyaknya perusahaan kompetitor yang menawarkan harga rendah membuat pelanggan PT. XYZ beralih pada kompetitor. Terkait dengan hal tersebut, PT. XYZ telah melakukan berbagai kegiatan promosi dalam rangka mengelola hubungan dengan pelanggan. Namun kegiatan promosi selama ini diimplementasikan kepada semua pelanggan tanpa adanya segmentasi sehingga strategi promosi menjadi tidak efektif dan efisien. Untuk menyelesaikan masalah pelanggan tersebut, salah satu solusi yang dapat dilakukan adalah menentukan segmentasi pelanggan. Segmentasi yang dilakukan menggunakan metode clustering Fuzzy C-Means. Sedangkan untuk menentukan jumlah K, metode yang digunakan adalah metode Elbow. Dalam proses clustering, diterapkan variabel RFM yang menggambarkan perilaku pelanggan dalam melakukan transaksi. Setelah hasil clustering muncul, cluster tersebut akan divisualisasikan sehingga memudahkan untuk menganalisa setiap cluster. Hasil dari clustering dengan Fuzzy C-Means dan model RFM adalah tiga segmen pelanggan. Segmen 1 adalah segmen terburuk dengan rata-rata nilai CLV 0.0538. Segmen 2 adalah segmen menengah dengan rata-rata nilai CLV 0.1674. Segmen 3 adalah segmen terbaik dengan rata-rata nilai CLV 0.3516. Segmen 1 memiliki 42 anggota, segmen 2 memiliki 64 anggota, dan segmen 3 memiliki 17 anggota
Performance evaluation and characterization of wetted soil parameters of improvised medi-emitters installed in a drip irrigation tomato field

Field study was conducted to evaluate the emission uniformity (EU), global coefficient of variation (CGv), emitter flow variation (Qvar) and distribution uniformity (DU), and determine the wetted radius (rw) on soil surface of improvised medi-emitters installed in a tomato field. Soil water content (SWC) at four layers was determined after different periods of irrigation. Radius of wetted soil surface was determined and predicted. Irrigation frequency had no significant effect on the average discharge rate of the medi-emitters throughout the growing cycle. Average Qvar and CGv were significantly (P=0.05) influenced by the frequency of application while the EU and DU did not significantly (P=0.05) differ among the treatments. There were significant differences in the average values of SWC in different soil layers under the different periods of irrigation. Both the observed and calculated rw on the soil surface were fitted with fourth order polynomial. The model performance parameters of MAE and RMSE between the calculated and observed radii were low, indicating good prediction. Medical infusion set can successfully replace the more expensive conventional emitters for drip irrigation system.
Simulation Modelling and Advance Control Techniques for DC-DC Converter with Improved Performance

† DC-DC converters are one of the important electronic circuits, which are widely used in power electronics1-3. The main problem with operation of DC-DC converter is unregulated power supply, which leads to improper function of DC – DC converters. There are various analogue and digital control methods used for dc-dc converters and some have been adopted by industry including voltage- and current-mode control techniques. The DC-DC converter inputs are generally unregulated dc voltage input and the required outputs should be a constant or fixed voltage. Application of a voltage regulator is that it should maintains a constant or fixed output voltage irrespective of variation in load current or input voltage. Various kinds of voltage regulators with a variety of control schemes are used to enhance the efficiency of DC-DC converters. Today due to the advancement in power electronics and improved technology a more severe requirement for accurate and reliable regulation is desired. This has led to need for more advanced and reliable design of controller for dc-dc converters. In this paper, a new sliding mode controller is proposed as the indirect control method in order to control a buck converter and we summarized some other well developed control techniques voltage, current and PID for DC-DC converter. Their principal characteristics are illustrated using MATLAB and the Simulink block diagram system along with experimental results.
Alexithymia, Hostility and Depression in Patients Suffering from Somatic Diseases

 Abstract — Purpose: To investigate the presence of Alexithymia, Hostility and Depression in patients suffering from acute and chronic somatic illnesses. Methodology: 210 individuals participated: 55 patients with acute somatic illnesses, 47 patients with chronic somatic illnesses and 108 healthy subjects. They were assessed with the Beck Depression Index (BDI-21), the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Hostility and Direction of Hostility Questionnaire (HDHQ). Data selected and analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). Results: Chronic somatic patients exhibited higher scores on Depression and Alexithymia, compared to acute somatic patients (p<.000), while acute somatic patients exhibited higher Hostility scores, compared to chronic patients (p<.000). Both groups exhibited higher Depression, Alexithymia and Hostility scores compared to healthy subjects (p<.000). Conclusions: Psychiatric symptomatology in patients suffering from chronic somatic illnesses differs from psychiatric symptomatology in patients suffering from acute somatic illnesses, when Depression, Alexithymia and Hostility were examined.
Bacterial communities in sediments of an urban wetland in Bogota, Colombia

Urban wetlands are biodiversity reservoirs sustained by microbe-mediated processes. In tropical zones, wetland microbial dynamics remain poorly understood. Chemical parameters, heavy metal content, and microbiological community structure were investigated in surface sediments of the Santa Maria del Lago (SML) wetland in Bogota, Colombia. High-throughput sequencing was employed to generate RNAr 16S and nosZ gene sequence data with which bacteria, archaea, and nosZ-type denitrifier community composition and their phylogenetic relationships were investigated. A canonical correspondence analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between assessed environmental variables and microbial community composition. Results showed that the most abundant bacterial phyla were Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria (group GP18), and Aminicenantes; Archaea were represented by the taxa Methanomicrobia and Thermoprotei, and the nosZ community was dominated by Candidatus Competibacter denitrificans. A phylogenetic analysis revealed a high diversity of Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs), according to 16S rRNA gene sequence data; however, the quantity and diversity of OTUs from the nosZ community were low compared to previous studies. High concentrations of ammonium, phosphorus, organic carbon, Pb, Fe, Zn, Cu, and Cd, were detected in sediments, but they were not strongly related to observed microbial community compositions. In conclusion, in the same polluted SML wetland sediments diverse bacteria and archaea communities were detected, although not nosZ-type denitrifiers.
Reliable Data Delivery for Dynamic Nodes in Adhoc Networks

 Abstract — To addresses the problem of delivering data packets for highly dynamic mobile ad hoc networks in a reliable and timely manner. Most existing ad hoc routing protocols are susceptible to node mobility, especially for large-scale networks. Driven by this issue, we propose an efficient Position-based Opportunistic Routing (POR) protocol which takes advantage of the stateless property of geographic routing and the broadcast nature of wireless medium. When a data packet is sent out, some of the neighbor nodes that have overheard the transmission will serve as forwarding candidates, and take turn to forward the packet if it is not relayed by the specific best forwarder within a certain period of time. By utilizing such in-the-air backup, communication is maintained without being interrupted. The additional latency incurred by local route recovery is greatly reduced and the duplicate relaying caused by packet reroute is also decreased. In the case of communication hole, a Virtual Destination-based Void Handling (VDVH) scheme is further proposed to work together with POR. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that POR achieves excellent performance even under high node mobility with acceptable overhead and the new void handling scheme also works well.
An Unsupervised Approach to Discover Media Frames

Media framing refers to highlighting certain aspect of an issue in the news to promote a particular interpretation to the audience. Supervised learning has often been used to recognize frames in news articles, requiring a known pool of frames for a particular issue, which must be identified by communication researchers through thorough manual content analysis. In this work, we devise an unsupervised learning approach to discover the frames in news articles automatically. Given a set of news articles for a given issue, e.g., gun violence, our method first extracts frame elements from these articles using related Wikipedia articles and the Wikipedia category system. It then uses a community detection approach to identify frames from these frame elements. We discuss the effectiveness of our approach by comparing the frames it generates in an unsupervised manner to the domain-expert-derived frames for the issue of gun violence, for which a supervised learning model for frame recognition exists.
Instagram: The New Edge of Online Retailing

 Abstract — With the increase in popularity of social networking, they pose immense potentials and challenges for the future of E-commerce. Latest developments have emerged to leverage the power of social networking with online shopping. Social Shopping is the resultant of Social Media’s impact on e-tailing. The use of social networking sites is now no more restricted to chatting, creating a page or making friends but has now moved to another level which involves Online Retailing. Social sites like Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, etc. have been adopted by the retailers and consumers as a shopping platform. Users on social shopping sites can post product recommendations, share photos, form social shopping communities and make purchases. Despite enormous business interests and potentials, little is known about whether the internet users will adopt such systems. This paper aims at determining the online retailing on Instagram and how customers are attracted towards this form of online stores on a social networking site. The paper also provides marketing suggestions for the retailers on Instagram and similar social networking sites.
The Benefits of Financial Statement Comparability

Investors, regulators, academics, and researchers all emphasize the importance of financial statement comparability. However, an empirical construct of comparability is typically not specified. In addition, little evidence exists on the benefits of comparability to users. This study attempts to fill these gaps by developing a measure of financial statement comparability. Empirically, this measure is positively related to analyst following and forecast accuracy, and negatively related to analysts’ dispersion in earnings forecasts. These results suggest that financial statement comparability lowers the cost of acquiring information, and increases the overall quantity and quality of information available to analysts about the firm. ______________________________ We appreciate the helpful comments of Stan Baiman, Rich Frankel, Wayne Guay, Thomas Lys, Jeffrey Ng, OleKristian Hope, Shiva Rajgopal, Scott Richardson, Shiva Shivramkrishnan, Doug Skinner (the editor), Shyam Sunder, Yibin Zhou, an anonymous referee, and workshop participants at Barclays Global Investors, UC Berkeley, the University of Chicago, Columbia University, the University of Florida, Harvard University, the University of Houston, the University of Iowa, MIT, Northwestern University, the University of Pennsylvania Wharton, the University of Rochester, the University of Waterloo, the 2008 London Business School Symposium, the 2009 AAA Annual Meeting, the 2009 Duke-UNC fall camp, and the 2009 University of Toronto Conference.
