The aim of this article is to describe problems in the formulation of policy to increase the professionalism of the Indonesian bureaucracy.These problems derive from the retirement policy of civil servants in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.The findings show that the level of substantive acceptability of regulation on the retirement age of civil servants is
Development of a species-specific PCR assay for authentication of Agkistrodon acutus based on mitochondrial cytochrome b gene
Background: Agkistrodon acutus, a traditional Chinese medicine, clinically used in the treatment of rheumatism, tumor, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.Due to the unique medicinal value and the difficulty of artificial breeding of Agkistrodon acutus, the supply of Agkistrodon acutus on the market exceeds the demand, and a large numbe
Novel Additive Manufacturing Pneumatic Actuators and Mechanisms for Food Handling Grippers
Conventional pneumatic grippers are widely used in industrial pick and place robot processes for rigid objects.They are simple, robust and fast, but their design, motion and features are limited, and they do not fulfil the final purpose.Food products have a wide variety of shapes and textures and are susceptible to damaged.Robot grippers for food h
Amplitude-dependent edge states and discrete breathers in nonlinear modulated phononic lattices
We investigate the spectral properties of one-dimensional spatially modulated nonlinear phononic lattices, and their evolution as a function of amplitude.In the linear regime, the stiffness modulations define a family of periodic and quasiperiodic lattices whose bandgaps host topological edge states localized Metal Garden Stake at the boundaries of
