    On the signature of tensile blobs in the scattering function of a stretched polymer

    No full text
    We present Monte Carlo data for a linear chain with excluded volume subjected to a uniform stretching. Simulation of long chains (up to 6000 beads) at high stretching allows us to observe the signature of tensile blobs as a crossover in the scaling behavior of the chain scattering function for wave vectors perpendicular to stretching. These results and corresponding ones in the stretching direction allow us to verify for the first time Pincus prediction on scaling inside blobs. Outside blobs, the scattering function is well described by the Debye function for a stretched ideal chain

    Death in the United States, 2011

    In 2011, the age-adjusted death rate for the United States was 740.6 per 100,000 population. This rate represents a 0.9% drop from the rate in 2010 (747.0), and is a record low. The highest mortality was observed for the non-Hispanic black population (903.9), followed by the non=Hispanic white population (753.9). Death rates for all race groups of the U.S. population generally have been decreasing since 1935 , and the rates for the Hispanic population have been declining since the late 1990s. Data for 2011 maintain that trend. The figures presented in this report are based on preliminary mortality data for 2011 and final data for 2000-2010.Arialdi M.

    Death in the United States, 2009

    No full text
    Mortality in the United States is best summarized by the age-adjusted death rate--a measure that accounts for changes in the age distribution of the population. This rate has declined in an almost uninterrupted manner since 1960. The death rate is now 45 percent lower than in 1960 (declining from 1,339.2 per 100,000 standard population in 1960 to 741.0 in 2009). Although age-adjusted mortality has declined for all demographic groups over a period of many decades, long-standing gaps between black and white populations and between male and female populations have begun to narrow only since the mid-1990s. Many of the recent improvements in death rates and life expectancy for all population groups can be attributed to ongoing reductions in death rates from major causes of death, such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, and chronic lower respiratory diseases. The figures presented in this report are based on preliminary mortality data for 2009.Arialdi M. Minin\u303o.Includes bibliographical references (p. 7-[8])

    "This volume contains presentations delivered at the third plenary meeting of the International Collaborative Effort (ICE) on Automating Mortality Statistics held April 7-10, 2003 in Washington, DC. The mission of the ICE on Automation is to (1) share knowledge and experience of automated systems for coding mortality information, (2) develop and improve existing automated systems through international collaboration, (3) facilitate the transition to ICD-10 for mortality, and (4) establish mechanisms for technical support of automated systems." - p. iiiArialdi M.

    "KEY FINDINGS: Data from the National Vital Statistics System, Mortality In 2007, the age-adjusted death rate for the United States reached a record low of 760.3 per 100,000 population. Life expectancy at birth reached a record high of 77.9 years. States in the southeast region have higher death rates than those in other regions of the country. In 2007, the five leading causes of death were heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and accidents. These accounted for over 64 percent of all deaths in the United States. White females have the longest life expectancy (80.7 years), followed by black females (77.0 years). The gap in life expectancy between white persons and black persons declined by 35 percent between 1989 and 2007. The race differential was 4.6 years in 2007.

    Kendala Komisi Pemilihan Umum Provinsi Sumatera Barat Dalam Upaya Penerapan Sistem E-voting Pada Pemilihan Gubernur Sumatera Barat

    No full text
    Provinsi Sumatera Barat menjadi salah-satu daerah yang turut melaksanakan Pemilihan Gubernur dan Wakil Gubernur Sumatera Barat yang masih dilakukan secara konvensional. Pilgub Sumbar memiliki tahapan prosedural yang sering memunculkan banyak persoalan. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, maka salah-satu gagasan yang muncul adalah pemungutan suara elektronik atau e-voting. Beberapa daerah di Indonesia tercatat pernah mengadopsi pemungutan suara secara elektronik salah-satunya Kabupaten Agam, Sumatera Barat. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kendala KPU Provinsi Sumatera Barat dalam upaya penerapan sistem e-voting pada Pemilihan Gubernur Sumatera Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan tipe analisis deskriptif. Ada pun hasil penelitian yang didapatkan adalah: Pertama, peraturan mengenai penggunaan sistem e-voting pada Pemilihan Kepala Daerah sudah tertera pada Pasal 85 Undang-Undang Nomor 10 Tahun 2016 tentang Pemilihan Kepala Daerah yang mana pemberian suara dapat dilakukan dengan memberi tanda pada surat suara atau memalui peralatan elektronik. Namun mesti mempertimbangkan kesiapan pemerintah daerah dan kesiapan masyarakat. Kedua, pihak penyelenggara masih sulit untuk menjaga dan meningkatkan kualitas sumber daya manusia yang ada. Hal ini dipengaruhi oleh kondisi sosiologis, geografis, dan kebudayaan yang berbeda-beda. Ketiga, dari segi operasional dan logistik, daerah Sumatera Barat masih memiliki banyak kekurangan seperti jaringan elektronik yang belum merata di seluruh daerah. Keempat, Penerapan sistem e-voting pada tingkat provinsi masih sangat rawan terjadi kecurangan. Namun jika dibandingkan dengan pemilihan di tingkat kepala desa atau kabupaten/kota maka masih bisa dikatakan aman karena cakupan pelaksanaannya yang tidak terlalu luas
