Book Discussion : PJ Powers
No full textThe UJ Campus Health Services and the Student Affairs Division in partnership with the UJ Library invite you to meet PJ Powers (Thandeka) the co-author of the book HERE I AM About the book: Here I Am, written with Marianne Thamm, is an intimate and hilarious account of the life and times of one of this country’s most recognisable and enduring performers. From the dizzying heights of international stardom to the dark depths of her struggle with alcohol, this is a must-read to explore the heady mix of politics and music of the time. More than just a story about the personal journey of one of South Africa’s most beloved music icons, this extraordinary memoir of PJ Powers – or Thandeka, as she was affectionately renamed by Soweto crowds – is set against the turbulent backdrop of South Africa’s recent political history. It features a gallery of political leaders and international celebrities, including the likes of Nelson Mandela, Graça Machel, Chris Hani, Joaquim Chissano, Queen Elizabeth II, Brenda Fassie, Sharon Stone and Robert De Niro. Facilitator: Prof Alban Burke, Director – PsyCad, University of Johannesburg PJ Powers will also perform a few songs on the day. Date: 27 August 2015 Time: 16:30 for 17:00 Venue: Auditorium (6th Floor), APK Library, University of Johannesburg (corner Kingsway and University Road, Auckland Park) RSVP: By Wednesday, 26 August 2015 to Theodorah Modise on [email protected] / 011 559 226

A study of the life history of Microphallus paragrapsi Smith 1983 (Trematoda : Microphallidae)
No full textMetacercariae of the microphallid trematode Microphallus paragrapsi Smith 1983 were found in the nervous system of the smooth pebble crab Philyra laevis (Bell 1855). Sporocysts of M. paragrapsi were found in the hepatopancreas of the intertidal gastropod Assiminea brazieri (Tenison Woods 1876). Under laboratory conditions, cercariae were found to emerge from the snail host and invade the intertidal crab P, laevis, where they subsequently encysted within the nerves innervating the legs and claws. Adults of M. paragrapsi were found in the gut of the Pacific gull Larus pacificus (Latham 1801). The life history of M. paragrapsi is very similar to the life history of the related species Microphallus pachygrapsi Deblock & Prevot 1969
Bell Marginal Models for Longitudinal Count Outcomes
No full textCorrelated count responses are usually observed in clinical, economical and biological researches. The main assumption is to assume that a dependency structure exists between observations in the same experimental unit or cluster while no dependency exists between observation from different experimental units. Longitudinal count models are generally modelled through the use of generalized estimating equations firstly introduced by Liang and Zeger (1986) [1] (GEEs). Popular count marginal models are usually based on poisson and negative binomial distribution. In this study, a new marginal model is introduced and develop for longitudinal count responses based on bell distribution [2]. Bell distribution and its related regression model have been recently proposed by Castellares et al. [2] for count dataset. Although the bell distribution does not contain a dispersion parameter, it can model overdispersion. It indicates that this is more practical and useful than the negative binomial distribution. Real data application is presented to illustrate the new marginal model. The working covariance model selection method the “quasi-likelihood under the independence model criterion” (QIC) is utilized for the application [3]. The parameter estimations of the bell marginal model based on GEEs are obtained by geeM R package [4]. Some diagnostic measures are also provided for the bell marginal model.Key Words: Bell distribution; Generalized Estimating Equations; count outcomes; quasi-likelihood; correlation.References[1] Liang KY, Zeger, SL (1986).

Technologically mediated learning: The future of training in Australia
No full textHosie, PJ ORCiD: 0000-0003-2585-024XFollowing a review of the economic imperatives currently facing Australia,
the future directions training will take are examined. Related training issues are considered; such as multiskilling, on-the-job training and legal issues. The author predicts that technologically mediated learning (TML),
especially interactive multimedia, will gain ascendancy as the predominant mode of delivery for training
A 0.7-V 0.43-pJ/cycle Wakeup Timer based on a Bang-bang Digital-Intensive frequency-Locked-Loop for IoT Applications
No full textA 40-nm CMOS wakeup timer employing a bang-bang digital-intensive frequency-locked loop for Internet-of-Things applications is presented. A self-biased ΣΔ digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) is locked to an RC time constant via a single-bit chopped comparator and a digital loop filter. Such highly digitized architecture fully exploits the advantages of advanced CMOS processes, thus enabling operation down to 0.7 V and a small area (0.07 mm 2 ). Most circuitry operates at 32× lower frequency than the DCO in order to reduce the total power consumption down to 181 nW. High frequency accuracy and a 10× enhancement of long-term stability is achieved by the adoption of chopping to reduce the effect of comparator offset and 1/f noise and by the use of ΣΔ modulation to improve the DCO resolution. The proposed timer achieves the best energy efficiency (0.43 pJ/cycle at 417 kHz) over prior art while keeping excellent on-par long-term stability (Allan deviation floor <;20 ppm) and temperature stability (106 ppm/°C).Accepted Author Manuscript(OLD)Applied Quantum Architecture

Bell Inequalities in Four Dimensional Phase Space and the Three Marginal Theorem
No full text21 pages, Latex, no figuresWe address the classical and quantum marginal problems, namely the question of simultaneous realizability through a common probability density in phase space of a given set of compatible probability distributions. We consider only distributions authorized by quantum mechanics, i.e. those corresponding to complete commuting sets of observables. For four-dimensional phase space with position variables qi and momentum variables pj, we establish the two following points: i) given four compatible probabilities for (q1,q2), (q1,p2), (p1,q2) and (p1,p2), there does not always exist a positive phase space density rho({qi},{pj}) reproducing them as marginals; this settles a long standing conjecture; it is achieved by first deriving Bell-like inequalities in phase space which have their own theoretical and experimental interest. ii) given instead at most three compatible probabilities, there always exist an associated phase space density rho({qi},{pj}); the solution is not unique and its general form is worked out. These two points constitute our ``three marginal theorem''

No full textTahap Penelitian atau yang penulis biasa sebut dengan validasi SSP (Surat Setoran Pajak) merupakan tahap final dimana seorang wajib pajak telah melakukan kewajibannya dalam penyetoran pajak, dan dalam proses validasi itu sendiri tidak semua akan diterima oleh kantor pajak setempat karena masih akan dilakukan penelitian baik penelitian serara formil maupun materiil. Untuk mekanismenya validasi telah ditetapkan dalam Per-18/Pj/2017 Tentang Cara Penelitian Bukti Pemenuhan Kewajiban Penyetoran Pajak Penghasilan Atas Penghasilan Dari Pengalihan Hak Atas Tanah Dan/Atau Bangunan, Dan Perjanjian Pengikatan Jual Beli Atas Tanah Dan/Atau Bangunan Beserta Perubahannya.

For the mechanism of validation, it has been stipulated in Per-18 / Pj / 2017 Regarding the Method of Research of Evidence of Fulfillment of Obligation of Income Tax on Income from Transfer of Land and / or Building Rights, and Agreement on Binding of Sale and Purchase of Land and / or Buildings and Amendments. The effectiveness of article 1 of the Regulation of the Director General of Tax Number Per-18 / Pj / 2017 in the Pratama Tax Office Malang is appropriate but for article 1 paragraph 2 it is still not yet for the binding of buying and selling, and regarding the means of proving that the taxpayer has fulfilled the payment obligation is by validation or thoroughlyKeywords: oblilgation, deposit, fulfillment, tax, validatio
A Versatile and Efficient 0.1-to-11 Gb/s CML Transmitter in 40-nm CMOS
No full textWe present a wireline transmitter (TX) for re-configurable chip-to-chip links. The proposed design features a frequency-adaptive clock chain, a fast 16:1 clocked-CMOS multiplexer (C2MOS MUX) tree, and a full-rate synchronous current-mode logic (CML) clock driver. A prototype realized in 40-nm CMOS accomplishes a wide 0.1-to-11 Gb/s operation range (fmax/fmin = 110×). At 11 Gb/s, the prototype achieves 3.98 pJ/bit for a bit error rate (BER) < 10-12 with a 60.9-ps eye width.Accepted author manuscriptElectronic
