The Luk Ulo River is a river that runs along Karanggulung, Kebumen Regency, Central Java. The Luk Ulo River which cuts the north-south area of Karanggulung shows a meandering appearance. The parameters of the Luk Ulo river aim to analyze changes in the morphometric characteristics of the river. The measurement parameters observed were the length of the stream (s), the radius of curvature (r), t…
Lightning Arrester (LA) merupakan salah satu peranti dalam sistem proteksi internal yang berperan sebagai pemotong arus impuls petir ketika terjadi injeksi sambaran petir pada sistem. Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) merupakan jenis arrester yang banyak digunakan pada sistem tegangan rendah karena kemampuan penjepitannya yang unggul dalam menekan lonjakan tegangan. MOV dapat mengalami penurunan kiner…
The increasing population growth causes the agricultural area to become narrow thus creating the concept of Urban Farming (shifting conventional farming to vertical farming. Based on BPS South Sumatra data, Pagar Alam Regency is still the largest supplier of horticultural vegetables in South Sumatra. Coupled with the current pandemic situation, people are increasingly paying attention to health…
This book deals with the effect of public and semi-public companies on economy. In traditional economic models, several private companies – interested in maximizing their profit – interact (e.g., compete) with each other. Such models help to avoid wild oscillation in production and prices (typical for uncontrolled competition), and to come up with a stable equilibrium solution. The problems…
This open access book originates from an international workshop organized by Turkish Natural Catastrophe Insurance Pool (TCIP) in November 2019 that gathered renown researchers from academia, representatives of leading international reinsurance and modeling companies as well as government agencies responsible of insurance pricing in Turkey. The book includes chapters related to post-earthquake …
The book introduces the basic concepts of the finite element method in the static and dynamic analysis of beam, plate, shell and solid structures, discussing how the method works, the characteristics of a finite element approximation and how to avoid the pitfalls of finite element modeling. Presenting the finite element theory as simply as possible, the book allows readers to gain the knowledge…
This book proposes some novel approaches for finding unmanned aerial vehicle trajectories to reach targets with unknown location in minimum time. At first, it reviews probabilistic search algorithms that have been used for dealing with the minimum time search (MTS) problem, and discusses how metaheuristics, and in particular the ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO), can help to find high-qua…
The unification of symbolist and connectionist models is a major trend in AI. The key is to keep the symbolic semantics unchanged. Unfortunately, present embedding approaches cannot. The approach in this book makes the unification possible. It is indeed a new and promising approach in AI. -Bo Zhang, Director of AI Institute, Tsinghua It is indeed wonderful to see the reviving of the import…

Gene therapy has been regarded as a great potential for specific treatment of gene-related human diseases, such as cancer, genetic and epidemic diseases. Gene therapy refers to the biomedical technology that inserts normal or therapeutic exogenous genes into target cells to repair or replace defective genes in target cells, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. Efficient gene deliv…
