RAM-ROM sebagai Pendukung Algoritma Zigzag Scan Menggunakan Metode Pemetaan pada Kompresi Citra Real-Time by Robby Candra

“…In order to support the real-time concept, 2 components of Random Access Memory (RAM) are needed which can store data so that there is no data queue. It is intended that the scanning process can take place quickly because the process of writing and reading the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients can be done simultaneously in both RAMs. …”

Student Errors Analysis on the Subject of Class VII Algebraic Form Based on Nolting's Theory by Laily Azizah, Miftahul Khoiri

“…The factors that cause student errors are not having complete references, paying less attention to the teacher's explanations, not being able to capture the meaning of important words in questions, misunderstanding the questions, not deepening algebraic form material, especially in applying the concept of algebraic operations into the form of math story questions, not doing enough. contextual practice questions, less thorough, in a hurry, unable to manage the processing time.…”

Climatic drivers and temporal dynamics of sandstorms in the Hexi Corridor, China by Yanying Li, Xingwei Ma, Fucun Wang, Hongying Li, Xin Nie, Qifen Fu

“…Due to its abundant sand, high temperatures, and large evaporation capacit-ies, Minqin showed the highest frequency of sandstorms. (2) The severe sandstorms and the high storm frequencies in the Hexi Corridor were found to be associated with warm and dry centers in the region, with the annual number of sandstorm days correlating positively with annual temperatures and negatively with precipitation (correlation coefficients of 0.58 and −0.29, respectively). (3) The wind thresholds of different dust intensities, precipitation, and temperature thresholds during the 1–10 days preceding sand-dust events, and their onset times were obtained,and the levels and regional distribution of drought in the Hexi Corridor during the preceding 1–12 months as well as the relationships among the parameters were assessed.…”

Quantifying the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Radiation Belt Electrons Scattered by Lower Band Chorus Waves: An Integrated Model by Weixin Chen, Song Fu, Xin Ma, Binbin Ni, Deyu Guo, Qiongyue Zhang, Xiangyuan Tong, Yibo Zhao, Xing Cao, Zheng Xiang, Yuan Lei

“…Incorporating the effect of radiation electron drift, we further use the 2‐D Fokker‐Planck equation to simulate the variations of electron phase space density in different MLT sectors at a fixed L, and find that the integrated model replicates reasonably the multi‐MeV electron acceleration at L = 4.5 during the period from the main phase to the early recovery phase of the storm. Our results demonstrate that such an integrated model, on basis of a combination of the machine learning technique and kinetic simulations, provides valuable means for improved understanding of the global dynamic evolution of the Earth's radiation belt electrons.…”
