Pengembangan Kriteria dan Klasifikasi Tingkat Kekritisan Lahan pada Skala Tinjau di Kawasan Budidaya Pertanian Lahan Kering di Kabupaten Bogor
2018
<em>The objectives of this research are to develop critical land criteria and classification on the reconnaissance scales. The method used in this research is survey method through case studies. Data analysis methods include: bivariate correlation analysis, cluster analysis, and discriminant analysis. The results showed development criteria at reconnaissance scale resulted three determinant variables, namely: effective soil depth, stones, and degree of erosion; and produced two classes of critical land, namely: Critical class and Non-Critical class.</em>
Alternate Inrae-Bordeaux VOD Indices from SMOS, AMSR2 and ASCAT: Overview of Recent Developments
2021
International audience; Vegetation optical depth (VOD) is used to parameterize microwave extinction effects within the vegetation layer. Many studies have showed VOD presents interesting features for applications in ecology, water and carbon cycles, and VOD is only marginally impacted by signal disturbances and artefacts from atmospheric, cloud and sun illumination effects. As soil moisture (and not VOD) has generally been the main factor of interest in retrieval studies from microwave observations, there is room for improvement in the retrieved VOD products. In this context, INRAE Bordeaux recently developed alternate VOD products from the SMOS, AMSR2 and ASCAT sensors, by addressing speci…
INTEGRAL and RXTE observations of accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J00291+5934 in outburst
2005
Simultaneous observations of the accretion-powered millisecond pulsar IGR J00291+5934 by International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory and Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer during the 2004 December outburst are analysed. The average spectrum is well described by thermal Comptonization with an electron temperature of 50 keV and Thomson optical depth tau_T ~ 1 in a slab geometry. The spectral shape is almost constant during the outburst. We detect a spin-up of the pulsar with nudot=8.4x10E-13 Hz/s. The ISGRI data reveal the pulsation of X-rays at a period of 1.67 milliseconds up to ~150 keV. The pulsed fraction is shown to increase from 6 per cent at 6 keV to 12--20 per cent at 100 keV. This is n…
Anthropometry: An R Package for Analysis of Anthropometric Data
2017
The development of powerful new 3D scanning techniques has enabled the generation of large up-to-date anthropometric databases which provide highly valued data to improve the ergonomic design of products adapted to the user population. As a consequence, Ergonomics and Anthropometry are two increasingly quantitative fields, so advanced statistical methodologies and modern software tools are required to get the maximum benefit from anthropometric data. This paper presents a new R package, called Anthropometry, which is available on the Comprehensive R Archive Network. It brings together some statistical methodologies concerning clustering, statistical shape analysis, statistical archetypal an…
Applications of statistical mechanics to finance
1999
Abstract We discuss some apparently “universal” aspects observed in the empirical analysis of stock price dynamics in financial markets. Specifically we consider (i) the empirical behavior of the return probability density function and (ii) the content of economic information in financial time series.
Piezospectroscopic study of mechanical stress in Al2O3:Cr under swift heavy ion irradiation
2009
Abstract The spatial distribution of mechanical stresses in Al2O3:Cr single crystal irradiated with (1 ÷ 3) MeV/amu Kr, Xe and Bi ions has been studied by using laser confocal scanning microscopy technique. The stress level as a function of the ion penetration depth has been evaluated from depth-resolved photostimulated R-line luminescence spectra exploiting the piezospectroscopic method. As it was found, the stress field generated by swift heavy ion irradiation is composed of stresses with maximal magnitude comparable with the ultimate stress limit of ruby crystals. Experimental data are discussed in the framework of a model considering the Cr3+ atoms as individual piezosensors.
Resistive state triggered by vortex entry in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ nanostructures
2014
We have realized YBa2Cu3O7-delta nanowires and nano Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (nanoSQUID). The measured temperature dependence of the wire resistances below the superconducting transition temperature has been analyzed using a thermally activated vortex entry model valid for wires wider than the superconducting coherence length. The extracted zero temperature values of the London penetration depth, lambda(0) similar or equal to 270 +/- 15 nm, are in good agreement with the value obtained from critical current modulations as a function of an externally applied magnetic field in a nanoSQUID implementing two nanowires.
Universal relationship between the penetration depth and the normal-state conductivity in YBaCuO
1999
The absolute values of the conductivity in the normal state sigma_n and of the low temperature penetration depths lambda(0) were measured for a number of different samples of the YBaCuO family. We found a striking correlation between sigma_n and 1/lambda^2, regardless of doping, oxygen reduction or defects, thus providing a simple method to predict the superconducting penetration depth and to have an estimate of the sample quality by measuring the normal-state conductivity.
Electromagnetic behaviour of superconductive amorphous metals
2005
The penetration depth of the magnetic field into an amorphous superconductor is calculated. The ratio of the London penetration depth δL to the electron free path le under zero temperature is above unity for almost all amorphous metals. That is why pure metals, in a superconducting state, change from type I superconductors to type II superconductors during the crystalline–amorphous transition.
A penetration depth study on the non-centrosymmetric superconductors Li2(Pd1−xPtx)3B
2008
Abstract We study the superconducting order parameter in the non-centrosymmetric compounds Li 2 (Pd 1− x Pt x ) 3 B ( x =0, 0.3, 0.7 and 1) by measuring magnetic penetration depth λ ( T ). The low temperature λ ( T ) shows a linear temperature dependence for x ⩾0.3, but follows exponential-like behavior for lower Pt contents. These findings suggest that a spin-triplet state might gradually develop with increasing x due to the broken inversion symmetry.
