Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk : 1) Mengetahui gambaran pemasaran sawi manis di Kecamatan Jambi Selatan, 2) Menghitung efisiensi pemasaran sawi manis dilihat dari analisis market structure, market conduct, dan market performance (SCP). Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan pendekatan structure, conduct, and performance of market (SCP). Berdasarkan penelitian, pemasaran sawi manis di Kecamatan Jambi Selatan terdiri dari lima pola saluran pemasaran, yaitu : 1) petani-konsumen ; 2) petani-pedagang pengumpul besar (PPB)-agen/pedagang pengecer-konsumen ; 3) petani-pedagang pengecer-konsumen; 4) petani-pedagang pengumpul kecil (PPK)-pedagang pengecer-konsumen; 5) petani-pasar modern-konsumen. Fungsi pemasaran yang dilakukan oleh lembaga-lembaga pemasaran, yaitu fungsi pertukaran, fungsi fisik, dan fungsi fasilitas. Dengan pendekatan market structure, pasar sawi manis di Jambi Selatan cenderung mengarah kepada persaingan oligopoli murni. Dilihat dari perilaku pasar, sistem pembayaran kemudian masih terjadi antara pedagang pengumpul dengan petani dan antara pedagang pengumpul dengan pedagang eceran. Sedangkan kinerja pasar menunjukkan bahwa penyebaran marjin, farmer’s share, dan rasio keuntungan tidak merata pada masing-masing lembaga pemasaran. Dari indikator SCP yang telah dijelaskan  di atas dapat diketahui bahwa pemasaran sawi manis di Jambi Selatan belum efisien. Berdasarkan kondisi saat ini dan hasil analisis yang telah dilakukan, saluran pemasaran IV (petani-pedagang pengumpul kecil (PPK)-pedagang pengecer-konsumen) merupakan alternatif saluran pemasaran yang efisien yang dapat dipilih oleh petani.   Kata Kunci : efisiensi, pemasaran, sawi manis, SCP (structure, conduct, and performance of market)

The role of marketing institutions is important for conducting marketing activities, so that research has a purpose for: 1) knowing the market structure of gurame fish, 2) describing the behavior of gurame fish marketing institutions, 3) knowing the performance of marketing institutions for gurame fish in Kediri Regency. Type of research is descriptive using analysis of structure, conduct, and performance. Sampling techniques using purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques, data collection techniques by observation, direct interviews and documentation. The results of the study are based on market structure that is influenced by the number of sellers and buyers, barriers to entry and exit markets, and market information indicating that the formed market structure is oligopoly; There are still many marketing agency behaviors that harm several parties in marketing such as accounts payable, and other fraudulent practices; The marketing of gurame fish in Kediri Regecy cannot be said to be efficient because of the uneven distribution of marketing margins, costs, and profits of each institution, as well as the high margin value, costs, and profits from one of the marketing institutions, large-scale collectors.

This chapter aims to provide a new readiness matrix called ‘innovative manufacturing readiness levels (IMRLs)’ to evaluate and assess the areas of micro and nanotechnology maturity including their performance. The study employs a case study approach through which the practicability and applicability of the IMRLs conceptual matrix were verified and confirmed. A case study with laser-based manufacturing technologies explores the stages of micro and nano technologies (MNTs)’ maturity, including the key issues and performances that contributed to the development of a new assessment tool. Concerning intense global R&D competition in MNTs, this study exhibits a forward-looking approach in assessing MNTs maturity and performance. A generic conclusion is reached by which product designers and technology managers position themselves and take into account risk reduction exercises related to MNTs. The novelty of the research could be that organizations, which develop and use MNTs, have an opportunity in applying such a specific assessment matrix to quantify the technology readiness of unreleased MNTs.

The purpose of this study is to examine cross-national data in order to identify possible factors related to the observable patterns of Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) penetration. For this purpose, a mobile market structure is analyzed considering important economic factors related to the penetration of MVNOs. MVNOs have gained popularity in the Western markets, but have a dismal track record in non-Western regions. In comparing the different regions, this study analyzes how the MVNO market has changed and what opportunities and/or threats network operators and potential MVNO entrants are likely to face. This study conducts an economic assessment of market structure and environment for different countries’ MVNO penetration. The data on market structure is analyzed by means of cluster/factor analysis techniques in order to group countries according to their market environments. Then, regression equation analysis is used to investigate the relations of MVNO penetration and independent variables. The results show that MVNO penetration significantly relates to market structure and performance. These results also imply an appropriate policy to promote MVNO diffusion.

River relocation is the diversion of a river into an entirely new channel for part of their length (often called river diversions). Relocations have been common through history and have been carried out for a wide range of purposes, but most commonly to construct infrastructure and for mining. However, they have not been considered as a specific category of anthropogenic channel change. Relocated channels present a consistent set of physical and ecological challenges, often related to accelerated erosion and deposition. We present a new classification of river relocation, and present a series of case studies that highlight some of the key issues with river relocation construction and performance. Primary changes to the channel dimensions and materials, alongside changes to flow velocity or channel capacity, can lead to a consistent set of problems, and lead to further secondary and tertiary issues, such as heightened erosion or deposition, hanging tributaries, vegetation loss, water quality issues, and associated ecological impacts. Occasionally, relocated channels can suffer engineering failure, such as overtopping or complete channel collapse during floods. Older river relocation channels were constructed to minimise cost and carry large floods, and were straight and trapezoidal. In some countries, modern relocated channels represent an exciting new challenge in that they are now designed to replicate natural rivers, the success of which depends on understanding the characteristics, heterogeneity, and mechanisms at work within the natural channel. We discuss shortcomings in current practice for river relocation and highlight areas for future research for successful rehabilitation of relocated rivers.

The nuclear power turbo-generator with large capacity is a basic unit of nuclear power plant, while the cooling technology becomes one of the key issues which affect its design and operation deeply. Axial-radial ventilation structure for rotor is commonly used in large nuclear power generator. In this article, according to the basic principles of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), ventilation’s structure and performance is analyzed, 3D flow model is also established. After the boundary conditions are determined, the numerical calculation and analysis is finished. And then, the rules of flow distribution is obtained, the flow field and the static pressure character of the gap is also computed, which could be very important to the ventilation system of the whole generator.
