Metapragmáticas da ‘redação’ científica de ‘alto impacto’
Authors: Signorini Inês
Published: February 2018

Neste artigo são identificados e descritos os processos de natureza ideológica (ideologias linguísticas e indexação de formas) e sociosemiótica (objetivação artefatual e essencialização) que sustentam os metadiscursos sobre escrita científica de porta-vozes de instituições públicas paulistas envolvidas com a internacionalização da pesquisa, notadamente as orientadas por parâmetros de ranqueamento de organismos internacionais. O corpus de referência é composto de materiais videogravados, além de materiais escritos, produzidos e/ou divulgados desde 2010 nas instituições e disponibilizados na internet. Orientam as análises os estudos socioantropológicos, sociosemióticos e pragmáticos das ideologias linguísticas e suas implicações para a apreensão da mediação escrita nas práticas sociais. Os principais resultados das análises apresentadas são interrelacionados: a redução da comunicação científica à produção de um artefato linguístico, cuja principal referência é a “redação” do texto expositivo-argumentativo da tradição escolar; o consequente apagamento das tensões, contradições e ambiguidades geradas pelos modelos de apreensão da escrita científica frente à dinâmica da indústria editorial transnacional.
Groundwater quality mapping using geographic information system in Trichy district, Tamilnadu, India
Authors: Venkatesan G. , Senthil M. S.
Published: February 2018

Aquifers in general are prone to contamination due to various factors including anthropogenic activities; monitoring the water quality by cost-effective techniques is of great significance and use. To study the water quality of around 100 open wells in Trichy district, Tamilnadu, India, the analytical tool ‘geographical information system’ (GIS) was applied and the outcome analyzed. The district, based on the soil type, is categorized into three regions viz: unconsolidated (Recent), semi consolidated (Cretaceous to Miocene) and consolidated (Archaean), and this technique was applied for the water samples collected in those regions. A spatial variation in well waters in the district was studied using GIS based on 15 physico-chemical parameters. For the three regions in the district, the water quality information maps of the entire district have been prepared using a spatial interpolation technique for these parameters. Statistical analyses carried out for the parameters and the character of water related to source of supply and changes in water qualities are discussed. Also the Piper tri-linear diagram is plotted, which shows the essential chemical character of the groundwater in these open wells. The condition of the groundwater has been categorized as good, moderate and poor in the respective maps for the pre and post-monsoon seasons, with the perspective of location of the site as well as in the nature of aquifer formation. Suggestion is given for the strategies for the development and preservation of the groundwater condition in this region.
Advanced treatment of biologically pretreated coal chemical industry wastewater using the catalytic ozonation process combined with a gas-liquid-solid internal circulating fluidized bed reactor
Authors: Li Zhipeng , Liu Feng , You Hong , Ding Yi , Yao Jie , Jin Chao
Published: February 2018

This paper investigated the performance of the combined system of catalytic ozonation and the gas-liquid-solid internal circulating fluidized bed reactor for the advanced treatment of biologically pretreated coal chemical industry wastewater (CCIW). The results indicated that with ozonation alone for 60min, the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) could reach 34%. The introduction of activated carbon, pumice, γ-Al2O3 carriers improved the removal performance of COD, and the removal efficiency was increased by 8.6%, 4.2%, 2%, respectively. Supported with Mn, the catalytic performance of activated carbon and γ-Al2O3 were improved significantly with COD removal efficiencies of 46.5% and 41.3%, respectively; however, the promotion effect of pumice supported with Mn was insignificant. Activated carbon supported with Mn had the best catalytic performance. The catalytic ozonation combined system of MnOX/activated carbon could keep ozone concentration at a lower level in the liquid phase, and promote the transfer of ozone from the gas phase to the liquid phase to improve ozonation efficiency.

Authors: Wang Yu , Wang Jiantao , Wang Haiping , Yang Xinyu , Chang Liming , Li Qi
Published: February 2018

Objective: Accurate assessment of breast tumor size preoperatively is important for the
initial decision-making in surgical approach. Therefore, we aimed to compare efficacy of mammography
and ultrasonography in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of breast cancer.

Methods:

Preoperative mammography and ultrasonography were performed on 104 women with
DCIS of breast cancer. We compared the accuracy of each of the imaging modalities with pathological
size by Pearson correlation. For each modality, it was considered concordant if the difference
between imaging assessment and pathological measurement is less than 0.5cm.

Results:

At pathological examination tumor size ranged from 0.4cm to 7.2cm in largest diameter.
For mammographically determined size versus pathological size, correlation coefficient of r was
0.786 and for ultrasonography it was 0.651. Grouped by breast composition, in almost entirely fatty
and scattered areas of fibroglandular dense breast, correlation coefficient of r was 0.790 for mammography
and 0.678 for ultrasonography; in heterogeneously dense and extremely dense breast,
correlation coefficient of r was 0.770 for mammography and 0.548 for ultrasonography. In microcalcification
positive group, coeffient of r was 0.772 for mammography and 0.570 for ultrasonography.
In microcalcification negative group, coeffient of r was 0.806 for mammography and 0.783
for ultrasonography.

Conclusion:

Mammography was more accurate than ultrasonography in measuring the largest
cancer diameter in DCIS of breast cancer. The correlation coefficient improved in the group of almost
entirely fatty/ scattered areas of fibroglandular dense breast or in microcalcification negative
group.

The role of legislation has always been misunderstood. Whenever there is legislation, the universal public perspective will be that it is connected and related to sanction and long and unclear sentences. Law in built environment and global change is about control and manage the quality and standard of life. The role of legislation is to assist a better quality of life and secure the same for the future generation. If no legislation to sustain the same meaning of quality, especially in the Asian communities how does the behavior be condoned. Hence role of legislation is maintaining fairness, in a community.

Published: February 2018

Evidence from comparative effectiveness research (CER) and patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) studies are increasingly available in the literature. However, there remain opportunities to better integrate that evidence into decision-making. An invitation-only conference held in January 2017, titled
“Comparative Effectiveness and Patient-Centered Outcomes Research: Enhancing Uptake and Use by Patients, Clinicians and Payers”
, sought to identify and discuss both gaps in the uptake and use of CER/PCOR, and approaches to enhance the uptake and use of CER/PCOR evidence by patients, clinicians and payers. In this article, we summarize the conference proceedings, and highlight the themes and recommendations that resulted from the sessions. This paper also introduces other articles in this issue of CER from that conference.

We have numerically studied adhesive contact between a flat indenter with brush structure and an elastic half space using the boundary element method. Various surface structures with different size, number and shape of the “pillars”, as well as their distributions (regular or random) have been investigated. The results validate the theoretical prediction that the adhesive force in contact of an indenter with discontinuous areas is roughly proportional to the square root of the real contact density (“filling factor”).

Published: February 2018

Kebutuhan daging ayam ras broiler (ayam pedaging) cenderung meningkat setiap tahun. Dengan terus meningkatnya konsumsi daging ayam tersebut diperlukan peternak-peternak ayam yang mampu memelihara ayam-ayam pedaging dengan baik. Salah satu penentu untuk menghasilkan ayam-ayam pedaging yang baik adalah sistem perkandangannya. Sistem perkandangan yang baik membutuhkan pengelolaan pengkondisian udara yang tepat. Karena ayam memerlukan temperatur ruangan yang berbeda-beda pada setiap masa pertumbuhannya. Penggunaan Heat Pump sebagai pemanas untuk kandang peternakan ayam broiler memang tidak lazim digunakan. Akan tetapi di beberapa negara penggunaan heat pump dengan fluida kerja air dari tanah (Ground Source Heat pumps/GSHP) banyak digunakan sebagai pemanas kandang ayam. Penggunaan heat pump dengan sistem kompresi uap masih belum ditemui. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mencoba memanfaatkan Heat pump dengan sistem kompresi uap jika digunakan sebagai pemanas kandang ayam. Kajian diawali dengan menghitung energi yang dibutuhkan kandang, pemilihan heat pump dan perhitungan ducting. Dari hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan heat pump sebagai pemanas kandang ayam memungkinkan untuk digunakan

Published: February 2018

Cette étude vise la connaissance et la recherche des plantes endémiques, rares et menacées de l’atlas tellien occidental de Tiaret. Les recherches ont été guidées par les données existantes dans la littérature afin de retrouver les plantes endémiques et rares citées pour la région de Tiaret. Nous avons exploité nos données de terrain (287 relevés floristiques) ainsi que d’autres recherches ciblées afin de localiser les taxons endémiques. Cela nous a permis d’identifier 32 plantes endémiques (7 endémiques strictes Algérie; 11 Algérie-Maroc; 4 Algérie-Tunisie; 10 Afrique du Nord). Les recherches ont permis également de reconnaitre 36 taxons rares, 4 Trigger species et 17 taxons menacées (protégés). Plusieurs taxons cités dans la bibliographie pour la région n’ont pas été retrouvés ce qui laisse à s’interroger quant à l’état de conservation et l’existence de ces taxons dans un environnement très fortement perturbé par l’action anthropique dévastatrice.

Correlation Coefficients: Mean Bias and Confidence Interval Distortions
Authors: Gorsuch Richard L. , Lehmann Curtis S.
Published: February 2018

Non-zero correlation coefficients have non-normal distributions, affecting both means and standard deviations. Previous research suggests that z transformation may effectively correct mean bias for N's less than 30. In this study, simulations with small (20 and 30) and large (50 and 100) N's found that mean bias adjustments for larger N's are seldom needed. However, z transformations improved confidence intervals even for N = 100. The improvement was not in the estimated standard errors so much as in the asymmetrical CI's estimates based upon the z transformation. The resulting observed probabilities were generally accurate to within 1 point in the first non-zero digit. These issues are an order of magnitude less important for accuracy than design issues influencing the accuracy of the results, such as reliability, restriction of range, and N. DOI:10.2458/azu_jmmss_v1i2_gorsuch

The Pitfalls of a Tool-based Science and the Promise of a Problem-focused Science
Authors: McKnight Patrick E. , Johns Michael , McGovern Patrick , Najab Julius
Published: February 2018

Our present social sciences are at risk of losing sight of their primary purpose: the goal of reducing uncertainty. For years social scientists have drifted slowly toward the routine of employing of accepted methodological, conceptual, and analytical tools rather than engaging in problem oriented inquiry. Scientific contributions are reviewed in accordance to their compliance with the routine application of tools rather than focusing on their ability to problem-solve for a wider population. Researchers in every area of psychology for instance now insist on using methods such as random assignment and control groups, as well as data analytic procedures such as null hypothesis significance testing without regard to their relevance. A problem-focused inquiry would not dictate the routine use of any particular tool but rather the judicious application of tools when deemed appropriate. The following article describes  the current situation in the framework contrasting toolbased and problem-focused inquiry and offers several insights that may create a more balanced and fruitful approach to scientific inquiry. DOI:10.2458/azu_jmmss_v1i2_mcknight

Impact of synthetic canine cerumen on in vitro penetration of auricular skin of dogs by florfenicol, terbinafine, and betamethasone acetate
Authors: Ehling Sarah , Baynes Ronald E. , Bäumer Wolfgang
Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE To determine the pharmacokinetics of florfenicol, terbinafine, and betamethasone acetate after topical application to canine auricular skin and the influence of synthetic canine cerumen on pharmacokinetics.

SAMPLE Auricular skin from 6 euthanized shelter dogs (3 females and 3 neutered males with no visible signs of otitis externa).

PROCEDURES Skin adjacent to the external opening of the ear canal was collected and prepared for use in a 2-compartment flow-through diffusion cell system to evaluate penetration of an otic gel containing florfenicol, terbinafine, and betamethasone acetate over a 24-hour period. Radiolabeled 14C-terbinafine hydrochloride and 3H-betamethasone acetate were added to the gel to determine dermal penetration and distribution. Florfenicol absorption was determined by use of high-performance liquid chromatography–UV detection. Additionally, the effect of synthetic canine cerumen on the pharmacokinetics of all compounds was evaluated.

RESULTS During the 24-hour experiment, mean ± SD percentage absorption without the presence of synthetic canine cerumen was 0.28 ± 0.09% for 3H-betamethasone acetate, 0.06 ± 0.06% for florfenicol, and 0.06 ± 0.02% for 14C-terbinafine hydrochloride. Absorption profiles revealed no impact of synthetic canine cerumen on skin absorption for all 3 active compounds in the gel or on skin distribution of 3H-betamethasone acetate and 14C-terbinafine hydrochloride.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE 3H-betamethasone acetate, 14C-terbinafine hydrochloride, and florfenicol were all absorbed in vitro through healthy auricular skin specimens within the first 24 hours after topical application. Synthetic canine cerumen had no impact on dermal absorption in vitro, but it may serve as a temporary reservoir that prolongs the release of topical drugs.
Aplicative Construction in Lamalera Dialect of Lamaholot Language
Authors: Demon Yosef , Pastika I Wayan , Artawa Ketut , Udayana I Nyoman
Published: February 2018

The applicative construction is limited as (i) the creation of a new argument of inner objects and (ii) the advancement of a peripheral constituent (locative, instrumental, benefactive, and source) occupying the position of the core argument (object). Thus, applicative constructs include the creation of new objects and the advancement of peripheral arguments occupying the core argument.

 

Each language has a strategy in getting around the applicative construction. Agglutinative languages for example, deal with morphological applicative construction. Unlike Lamalera dialect of Lamaholot language(LDLL) which is not an agglutinative language. Lamalera dialect of Lamaholot language has a morphophonogical strategy such as sound alternation or internal modification and syntactic strategy of word order. Both LDLL applicative construction strategies will be presented in this article.

Published: February 2018

This research illustrates the extent of correlation between the local economy and marine ecosystem services. Apart from being recreational destinations oriented to the economy, Tulamben and Pemuteran are places where coral reefs ecosystem grows and develops. Hence, it needs to be properly conserved. This study found the estimated number of tourists who dive and snorkel in these two areas, it reaches 297.752 per year, with actual annual expenditures amount to US$ 283.2 million. The economic impact of the whole diving tourism in Tulamben and Pemuteran approximately ranges from US$ 396.4 million to US$ 1.059.7 million per year. The high economic value achieved by the government and the local communities as a whole indicates a significant increase of diving activities in both areas. This result suggests that local economy and marine ecosystem services are closely related. However, tourism and the perception aroused about the environmental issues and values not only provide opportunities for macro business improvement but also pose a threat to the sustainability of the underwater ecosystem.
Transformation of Kakawin Bharatayudha Into The Story of Pandawa Lima
Authors: Cika I Wayan , Soreyana I Made , Teguh I Wayan
Published: February 2018

The story of Pandawa Lima ‘Hikayat Pandawa Lima’ (abbreviated to HPL) written in Malay is a literary work transformed from the Mahabharata Epic ‘Wiracarita Mahabharata,’ especially ‘Kakawin Bharatayuda’ (abbreviated to KBY) written in the Old Javanese language. As a transformational literary work, additions, and reductions could not be avoided. The part that was added and reduced depended on the adapter’s way of thinking and socio-culture values. It was also closely related to the linguistic, literary and cultural conventions inspiring the transformational process. This present study is intended to discuss how the adapter received KBY as the source text (hypogram), what adjustments were made, and how they were made. The problems of the study were analyzed using the theory of literary reception and the qualitative and hermeneutic method. The objective of the study is to reveal the HPL adapter’s reception of its source text (hypogram). The result of the analysis shows that the HPL adapter adapted KBY without degrading the hypogram, meaning that the great values which the hypogram contains are still intact and complete. However, several adjustments were made in HPL; they are the incidents, names of weapons, and characters.
Improving Vaccine Safety by Using an Algorithmic Model as a Replacement for a Physical Thermal Buffer
Authors: Rusnack Michael Richard
Published: February 2018

Conventional practice in vaccine storage is to insert a temperature probe into a bottle of glycol, or another equivalent thermal buffer medium, to simulate the temperature experience of the stored vaccine, rather than just the air temperature.  Such a thermal buffer is intended to reduce false alarms so that the drug manager will know with higher confidence that a temperature alert is an event requiring action. While necessary and appropriate to correctly monitor the storage conditions, it is a practice that is messy, inconvenient, and costly, and can result in reports that diverge from the actual experience of the stored inventory.  This paper explores the use of a mathematical algorithm to reproduce the behavior of a physical thermal buffer medium. The paper describes the algorithm and reports the degree to which it accurately simulates the experience of a 20-ml glycol container. The algorithm is shown to be highly predictive of the temperatures measured inside a container containing glycol.
Histoire et actualité constitutionnelles francaises
Authors: Carpentier Elise
Published: February 2018

El conocimiento de la historia constitucional francesa es interesante no sólo porque ayuda a entender el sistema actual, para entender los fundamentos, sino también porque Francia ha tenido experiencias muy diferentes y ofrece un verdadero laboratorio a la ciencia constitucional. Desde 1789 a 1958, Francia ha tenido 15 constituciones escritas. Esta cifra es aún menor que el número real de los regímenes que han tenido éxito, debido a que algunos períodos de la historia se vivieron sin ningún tipo de Constitución (Comités de Salud Pública 1793, los gobiernos provisionales de 1848 y 1870, o el Régimen Vichy), y las Constituciones vigentes se han alterado a veces tan profundamente, que su revisión sólo puede ser comparado con un verdadero cambio de régimen (por ejemplo, el régimen de transformación en 1860, 1852). Habida cuenta de esta riqueza y la complejidad relativa de la historia constitucional francesa, puede ser aconsejable, antes de embarcarse en un estudio temático de las principales cuestiones que figuran en ella, para hacer una cronología de los principales hitos en su desarrollo.

La lucha por los derechos sociales en América Latina ha sido un paradigma de aplicación normativa, en donde la dignificación y divinización de la norma han encadenado la aplicabilidad de los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales (DESC) al contexto actual de la región.Desde el contexto Latinoamericano, la aplicabilidad de los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales (DESC) está condicionado a las actuales democracias representativas formales, que creyéndose ser un avance para los derechos humanos, han resultado protocolizadoras de éstos.Siendo América Latina probablemente la región del mundo con la mayor brecha de ingresos; analizaremos la Constitucionalización y protección judicial de los derechos sociales, en los países más representativos, Argentina, Venezuela, México, Chile, Perú y Colombia.Durante los últimos 25 años la consolidación de la democracia por medio de elecciones ha resultado ser el mecanismo para el nombramiento de la participación activa del poder, supeditando a su vez no solo la elección de gobernantes, y legisladores o de otros miembros del activo gobierno, sino también escogiendo la forma en que los derechos sociales tendrán su próximo desarrollo en la vida política.Es a través de las mesuradas políticas públicas, como los dirigentes del poder, activan la participación en la cultura de los derechos humanos.Hoy día, América Latina es probablemente la región del mundo donde hay más actividad legal en materia de derechos sociales.El presente documento muestra un avance del proyecto, específicamente sobre la Constitucionalización de los derechos sociales y en el contexto latinoamericano y su justiciabilidad.El semillero Bitácora presenta una investigación sobre la justiciabilidad de los derechos sociales en Colombia y su desarrollo latinoamericano.
Constitutional Courts as “negative legislators”: The Brazilian case
Authors: Bustamante Thomas , De Godoi Bustamante Evanilda
Published: February 2018

La Constitución de la República Federal del Brasil de 1988 estableció un conjunto de competencias privativas del Tribunal Supremo Federal para ejercer el control jurisdiccional. Consagra un tribunal competente para decidir las acciones abstractas de inconstitucionalidad contra la mayoría de las disposiciones legales, independientemente de las situaciones específicas a las que se aplican. Este sistema concentrado de control jurisdiccional coexiste con la simultaneidad de los dos modelos tradicionales. El artículo desarrolla la ideología judicial que domina el discurso de la Corte Suprema el cual se mantiene fiel a la imagen de Kelsen de ser un "legislador negativo".

Distinguishing membrane perturbation from more direct protein-ligand interactions is an ongoing challenge in chemical biology. Herein, we present one strategy for doing so, using dimeric 6-bromo-2-mercaptotryptamine (BrMT) and synthetic analogs. BrMT is a chemically unstable marine snail toxin that has unique effects on voltage-gated K+ channel proteins, making it an attractive medicinal chemistry lead. BrMT is amphiphilic and perturbs lipid bilayers, raising the question of whether its action against K+ channels is merely a manifestation of membrane perturbation. To determine whether medicinal chemistry approaches to improve BrMT might be viable, we synthesized BrMT and 11 analogs and determined their activities in parallel assays measuring K+ channel activity and lipid bilayer properties. Our work demonstrates a strategy for determining if drugs act by specific interactions or bilayer-dependent mechanisms, and chemically stable modulators of Kv1 channels are reported.

Kejadian gejala alam yang banyak mengakibatkan korban jiwa salah satunya adalah bencana gempa. Indonesia merupakan Negara kepulauan yang dipisahkan oleh lautan. Hal ini menunjukkan Indonesia merupakan Negara yang besar akan kelimpahan daratan dan lautan. Indonesia memiliki sifat yang dinamis terhadap variasi bentuk wilayah gempa. Dalam hal ini diperlukan langkah-langkah untuk meminimalisir kerusakan akibat gempa tersebut. Salah satunya adalah dengan menggunakan base isolator. Sistem base isolator ini bisa melindungi bangunan dari kerusakan parah selama gempa besar terjadi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui analisis gaya geser (base shear) yang terjadi akibat efek gempa pada bangunan. Baik dalam  penggunaan base isolator maupun yang tanpa menggunakan base isolator. Desain struktur ini  dilakukan dengan analisis beban time history dynamic pada bangunan SRPMK (struktur rangka pemikul momen khusus). Dengan bangunan lantai 10 tingkat, bentuk beraturan, pada bangunan SRPMK (struktur rangka pemikul momen khusus). Hal yang diperbandingkan berupa gaya geser (base shear) arah memanjang (X) dan arah melintang (Y) akibat gempa. Analisis data yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan bantuan software komputer SAP2000. Pembebanan pada gedung didasarkan pada peraturan bangunan gedung beton bertulang dan analisa dinamik Time History Modal Analysis struktur dalam Tata Cara Perencanaan Ketahanan Gempa Untuk Struktur Bangunan Gedung Dan Non Gedung (SNI 1726:2012). Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat diketahui bahwa penggunaan base isolator dapat mereduksi gaya geser (base shear), baik dari arah memanjang dan melintang. Nilai rata-rata riwayat gempa pada penggunaan base isolator dapat direduksi pada bangunan SRPMK berurut mencapai 62% arah-x, 67% arah-y.

Abstrack: Umumnya gelagar terbuat dari beton bertulang yang relatif berat, yang dalam pelaksanaannya membutuhkan cetakan (bekisting) dan penyokong yang relatif banyak untuk menahan beban selama pelaksanaan. Untuk mengatasi hal ini digunakan material ferro foam concrete dengan bentuk profil I sebagai gelagar.  Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui besarnya kapasitas daya dukung yang timbul berdasarkan variasi tinggi gelagar untuk bentang-bentang pendek. Variasi tinggi gelagar yang ditinjau adalah 150 mm, 200 mm dan 300 mm. Bentang-bentang yang akan ditinjau yaitu 1,5 meter, 2 meter, 2,5 meter, 3 meter, 3,5 meter, 4 meter, 5 meter, dan 6 meter. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa momen nominal lebih besar dari momen ultimit untuk panjang bentang maksimum 2 meter pada tipe jembatan lalu lintas ringan. Nilai momen nominal tahanan (ФMn) untuk gelagar ukuran 15x20 cm diperoleh ФMn sebesar 1,1 ton, ukuran 20x20 cm diperoleh ФMn sebesar 1.6 ton, dan ukuran 30x20 cm diperoleh ФMn sebesar 2.8 ton. Besar dimensi gelagar juga mempengaruhi besarnya lendutan, semakin tinggi gelagar maka semakin kecil lendutannya.

ANALISIS KEHILANGAN TEMPERATUR PADA ASPAL HOTMIX SELAMA PERJALANAN KE LOKASI PENGHAMPARAN
Authors: Muhammad Muhammad
Published: February 2018

Abstrak

Aspal hot mix sering digunakan sebagai bahan pelapis permukaan kontruksi perkerasan jalan, di indonesia penggunaannya dari tahun ke tahun semakin meningkat. Akibat keterbatasan instalasi AMP dan jauhnya letak instalasi Aspalt Mixing Plant (AMP) dengan lokasi pekerjaan (penghamparan) salah satu penyebab banyaknya kehilangan temperatur selama perjalanan ke lokasi pekerjaan, sehingga menyebabkan turunnya kwalitas pekerjaan permukaan jalan. Untuk mengetahui kateristik kehilangan temperatur pada aspal hot mix dilakukan penelitian dengan membuat dua buah tempat uji, pertama terbuat dari plat baja, kedua terbuat dari plat baja dilapisi isolasi, masing-masing benda uji di isi aspal hot mix dengan temperatur sesuai dengan (Spesifikasi Umum 2010 Devisi 6 Pekerjaan Aspal), temperatur aspal hot mix diukur dengan alat pengukur suhu thermometer baik dalam posisi diam di instalasi AMP maupun dalam posisi diperjalanan pada saat pengangkutan dengan rentang 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90,100, 110,120,130, 140, 150,160,170, 180,190, 200, 210, 220, 230, dan 240 menit
