This paper attempts to explain and examine the variation on amalgamation in Indonesia. The proliferation of provinces, districts, cities as well as the problems after the implementation of amalgamation are discussed in this paper. The central argument of this paper is that the amalgamating process is not only driven by purpose of amalgamation itself—e.g. to provide better public goods, public services and welfare of the people etc.—, but also driven by the role of elite actor(s). It is argued that the politics of identity used by elite actor(s) is an instrument to unite local people to support their desire to …

On The Capacity Of Immediately-Decodable Coding Schemes For Wireless Stored-Video Broadcast With Hard Deadline Constraints, Xiaohang Li, Chih-Chun Wang, Xiaojun Lin Dec 2010

On The Capacity Of Immediately-Decodable Coding Schemes For Wireless Stored-Video Broadcast With Hard Deadline Constraints, Xiaohang Li, Chih-Chun Wang, Xiaojun Lin

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Multimedia streaming applications have stringent Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements. Typically each packet is associated with a packet delivery deadline. This work models and considers streaming broadcast of stored-video over the downlink of a single cell. We first generalize the existing class of immediately-decodable network coding (IDNC) schemes to take into account the deadline constraints. The performance analysis of IDNC schemes are significantly complicated by the packet deadline constraints (from the application layer) and the immediate-decodability requirement (from the network layer). Despite this difficulty, we prove that for independent channels, the IDNC schemes are asymptotically throughput-optimal subject to the deadline constraints when …


Does Entropic Gravity Bound The Masses Of The Photon And Graviton?, Jonas R. Mureika, R. B. Mann Dec 2010

Does Entropic Gravity Bound The Masses Of The Photon And Graviton?, Jonas R. Mureika, R. B. Mann

Physics Faculty Works

If the information transfer between test particle and holographic screen in entropic gravity respects both the uncertainty principle and causality, a lower limit on the number of bits in the universe relative to its mass may be derived. Furthermore, these limits indicate particles that putatively travel at the speed of light -- the photon and/or graviton -- have a non-zero mass m≥10−68 kg. This result is found to be in excellent agreement with current experimental mass bounds on the graviton and photon, suggesting that entropic gravity may be the result of a (recent) softly-broken local symmetry. Stronger bounds emerge …

Detecting Electron Motion In Atoms And Molecules, Hua-Chieh Shao, Anthony F. Starace Dec 2010

Detecting Electron Motion In Atoms And Molecules, Hua-Chieh Shao, Anthony F. Starace

Anthony F. Starace Publications

The detection of spatial and temporal electronic motion by scattering of subfemtosecond pulses of 10 keV electrons from coherent superpositions of electronic states of both H and T+2 is investigated. For the H atom, we predict changes in the diffraction images that reflect the time-dependent effective radius of the electronic charge density. For an aligned T+2 molecule, the diffraction image changes reflect the time-dependent localization or delocalization of the electronic charge density.

Anthony F. Starace Publications

A long-standing goal of science is to be able to understand how matter behaves at the atomic and subatomic level. How electrons rearrange when atoms or molecules come together is the essence of chemistry, and the ability to manipulate those rearrangements is the goal of the emerging sphere of nanotechnology. A fuller understanding could lead to enormous scientific and technological breakthroughs. Unfortunately, significant problems confront scientists and engineers in attacking the question. Not only are atoms and molecules very small, requiring highly specialized equipment to "see" them, everything at the atomic level happens very, very fast. For example, an electron …
