Abstract-The analog placement algorithm Plantage, presented in this paper, generates placements for analog circuits with comprehensive placement constraints. Plantage is based on a hierarchically bounded enumeration of basic building blocks, using B*-trees. The practically relevant solution space is thereby enumerated quasi-complete. The sets of possible placements of the basic building blocks are represented and combined in a new efficient way, using enhanced shape functions. The result of Plantage is the Pareto front of placements with respect to different aspect ratios. The whole approach is deterministic, in contrast to existing analog placement algorithms.

Kulim (Scorodocarpus borneensis Becc.) is one of Indonesian wood species with high economic value. Kulim wood is widely used for house construction, bridges and shipbuilding, while its fruit is used for cooking for its garlicy fragrance. Unfortunately, this species is currently rare in the wild due to habitat disturbance. Re-planting efforts require good quality seeds which can be collected from designated seed sources. The aim of this study was to identify the potential of Kulim stand in the arboretum of PT. Arara Abadi, Riau which covers 26.2 ha. Data collected from the site include tree height, diameter, geographic position as well as stand conditions. Total of 152 individual trees (121 trees, 23 poles, 5 saplings and 2 seedlings) were found in the area of study. The area is accessible, relatively safe from interference and well managed. The quality of the stands is quite good with no significant attack from pests or diseases. Fruits, seedlings and saplings were also found in the forest floor. The stand is therefore appropriate to be designated as Identified Seed Stand of Kulim based on the criteria of regulation concerning implementation of forest seeds. This stand can also be reserved as an insitu conservation area of Kulim.

The purpose of this research is to examine theeffect of compensation and organizational climate on labor turnover intention where job satisfaction as intervening variable. The study was conducted at PT. Trimitra Lestariwhere sample size is 124 employees.  Data is processed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. The results shows that compensation has positive significance effect on job satisfaction and increase turnover intention, and organizational climate has positive buthas no significance effect onjobsatisfaction and increase turnover intention. Furthermoer, it shows that compensation has negative indirect effect on turnover intention, and organizational climate has negative indirect effect. The effect of compensation on turnover intention is stronger than the effect of organization climate. Hence, it is reccomended for further research that consider different variable such as motivation, leadership style, and organization commitmen and organization culture.
