Proses pembelajaran yang terjadi selama ini belum secara optimal mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir peserta didik. Pelaksanaan proses berlangsung saat diarahkan untuk didik menghafal informasi dan latihan soal-soal disampaikan. Mengacu pada permasalahan maka seorang guru perlu melakukan inovasi-inovasi dalam sesuai dengan kebutuhan berkesinambungan. Salah satu upaya dapat dilakukan adalah penerap...

A mixture of Student t-distributions (MoT) has been widely used to model multivariate data sets with atypical observations, or outliers for robust clustering. In this paper, we developed a novel robust clustering approach bymodeling the data sets usingmixture of Pearson type VII distributions (MoP). An EM algorithm is developed for the maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters. An o...

We study the dynamical effects in the scale factors due to the scalar φ-field at the early stages of a supposedly anisotropic Universe expansion in connection with the problem of the initial singularity in the scalar-tensor cosmology of Jordan-Brans-Dicke. This is done by considering the behaviour of the general analytical solutions for the homogeneous model of Bianchi type VII in the vacuum ca...

BACKGROUND EPA reported that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, killing 21,100 people per year. EPA relies on the BEIR VI models, based on an evaluation of radon exposure and lung cancer risk in studies of miners. But these models did not account for co-exposure to diesel exhaust, a known human carcinogen recently classified by IARC. It is probable then that ...

The recessive dystrophic form of epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a disorder of incurable skin fragility and blistering caused by mutations in the type VII collagen gene (Col7a1). The absence of type VII collagen production leads to the loss of adhesion at the basement membrane zone due to the absence of anchoring fibrils, which are composed of type VII collagen. We report that wild-type, congen...
