Authors: Hua Wei , Luo Chenxu , Leng Junfa , Wang Zhiyang
Published: October 2017

As the mine gearbox working conditions are poor, the fault signal is weak and usually drowned in background noise when gearbox occurring fault. The fault feature is very difficult to extract. Aiming at solving this problem, this paper proposed a mine gearbox fault feature extraction method which combines multiwavelets decomposition with maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD).The component of multiwavelets decomposing was processed by MCKD method, MCKD suppress the noise in the signal and enhance the weak impact feature of fault signal, the envelope of its deconvolution signal was calculated, then the fault could be judged by analyzing the prominent frequency component of envelope spectrum. Thus, the experiment analysis and engineering application verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Research on nonlinear inertance calculation method of ball-screw inerter
Authors: Wen Huabing , Guo Junhua , Li Yang , Liu Yue , Goh Yee Pin
Published: October 2017

This paper proposes an inertance calculation method of the ball-screw inerter when considering the nonlinear factors, which will be called as the nonlinear inertance. With the inerter increasingly used in vibration damping systems, the effects that caused by the nonlinear factors, especially by friction, have attracted a lot of attention. The inertance is deemed as the inherent property of the inerter. In most systems, an analysis with the application of the inertance of the ideal linear inerter (which will be called as the ideal linear inertance) may produce a considerable error, thus the consideration of nonlinear factors becomes increasingly significant when calculating the inertance. Based on the Frenet frame theory and Hertz contact theory, the relative sliding speed and sliding friction torque between balls and raceways of the ball-screw inerter have been deduced, thus obtaining the sliding friction efficiency of the balls, and then introducing the rolling friction efficiency of the balls, and finally obtaining the method of the nonlinear inertance calculation after friction consideration. Based on the jobs above, an experimental study on the inertance of ball-screw inerter was carried out. In addition, the ideal linear inertance, nonlinear inertance and experimental value were compared with each other. The results show that the nonlinear inertance is closer to the experimental value; it demonstrates the accuracy of the calculation method proposed in this paper. Besides, the influences of other parameters of the ball-screw mechanism on the inertance are also analyzed, including the nominal radius, lead, contact angle, ball radius and number of balls, the comparative results show that the lead and ball radius have a great influence on the inertance. These results provide a more accurate inertance calculation method for designing a ball-screw inerter and its application in engineering vibration damping systems, meanwhile the theory and approach about inerter will also be developed.
Moving window self-iteration PCE based OMA for slow linear time-varying structures
Authors: Zhang Tianshu , Wang Cheng , Wang Jianying , Chen Yewang , Zhang Yiwen
Published: October 2017

In order to reduce the time and space complexity of operational modal analysis (OMA) for slow linear time-varying (SLTV) structures based on moving window principal component analysis (MWPCA), this paper proposes a new moving window self-iteration principal component extraction (MWSIPCE) method. Different from getting principal components by singular value decomposition (SVD) or eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) in MWPCA algorithm, MWSIPCE just extracts the first-several-orders principal components by self-iteration. Comparing with MWPCA, MWSIPCE has lower time and space complexity. What’s more, this paper explains the reason of modal exchange in some data windows in detail, and gives an illustration to how to set window length L. The OMA results on non-stationary vibration response simulation signal of time-varying cantilever beam under white noise excitation show that this method can well identify the time-varying transient modal parameters (natural frequencies and modal shapes) for SLTV structures and has less time and space consume, the algorithm is also more precise than MWPCA.
Health monitoring of rolling element bearing using a spectrum searching strategy
Authors: Qiu Mingquan , Li Wei , Zhu Zhencai , Wu Bo , Zhou Gongbo
Published: October 2017

Aiming at achieving early fault diagnosis and tracking the degradation process of bearings, we propose a novel monitoring methodology using a spectrum searching strategy in this paper. Firstly, a vibration signal is collected with appropriate sampling frequency and length. Secondly, the structural information of spectrum (SIOS) on a predefined frequency grid is constructed through a searching algorithm after deriving the single-sided FFT spectrum. Finally, the two-dimensional (2-D) line plot of the frequency grid versus the average power in SIOS is employed to conduct fault detection and the sum of the largest six total-power (SLSTP) of the frequency grid in SIOS is calculated as a health indication to demonstrate the changes in the bearing’s health status. The performance of the proposed scheme is validated with both simulation and bearing data. Experimental results show that the monitoring algorithm could manifest satisfactory behaviors in early fault diagnosis and health assessment of bearings.
Seismic behavior of lightweight aggregate concrete frame
Authors: Liu Xi , Wu Tao , Wei Hui
Published: October 2017

A one-fifth scale, two-story, two-bay reinforced lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) frame subjected to quasi-static cyclical loading was analyzed to investigate the seismic behavior of this innovative system, primarily focusing on the failure modes, plastic hinge mechanism, load-deformation response, skeleton curves, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capability. Overall, the test demonstrates that the LWAC frame meets the requirement of a “strong-column and weak-beam, strong-joint and weak-member” design criteria, exhibiting a mixed failure mechanisms consisting of both the beam hinge mechanism and column hinge mechanism. The former was the predominant failure mechanism and was fully developed after reaching the peak load point, while the latter was the inevitable result in the final failure of the LWAC frame. The fatter hysteretic loop and the displacement ductility factor Δu/Δy of 3.49 observed from LWAC frame indicate excellent energy dissipation and reliable displacement ductility capability, which are comparable to those of NWC frames. The test data observed in this study can provide theoretical guidance for the application of LWAC frames in seismic regions.
Mining in Hispaniola at the beguinning of the Discovery (1503-1515)
Authors: Carrasco Galán J.
Published: October 2017

The first years of the colonization of the New World after the euphoria of the discovery were very difficult years, due to the uncertainty, inexperience and failure to fulfill expectations of both the Crown and the settlers. But the island of Hispaniola became a bridgehead able to give a satisfactory response under President Nicolas de Ovando (1502-1509) with spectacular gold mining results able to meet the expected demands of the Discovery of the New World and ensure its economic survival. The chroniclers of the time reflected this mining differently, enlightening us with tillage methods, location, operational problems, etc. showing the significance of its activity. Uncovering these data, a technical analysis of the complex production system could give a more realistic picture that supports its development and assesses the extent of the efforts of those American miners.
Origin and model formation of the semi-precious Larimar stone in the Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican Republic
Authors: Espí J. A. , Pérez-Puig Obieta C.
Published: October 2017

The investigation of the origin and evolution of the Larimar gemstone in the Dominican Republic has required the same scientific tools as used for some valuable metal deposits. This singular stone is the consequence of various processes that determine, firstly, the emergence of a pectolite without any aesthetic value, and then the conditions are modified until finally an outstanding product is obtained due to its coloration. The process in the Hispaniola Island begins in the Upper Cretaceous with basaltic lava emissions which create an oceanic “plateau” in the Checheses Larimar area, then emerge and, with the help of the deposition of organic materials, produce a hydrothermal alteration of the volcanic pile producing a pectolite concentration with a blue coloration suitable for use in jewelry. The Miocene-Pliocene tectonic changes its primitive structure until the current form is configured, whilst at the same time the hidden volcanic material crops out below a thick Eocene sedimentary series.

LEGAL PERPSECTIVE ON THE TRADE FACILITATION AGREEMENT (TFA): INDONESIA CASE STUDIES
Authors: Ersya Ozy Diva
Published: October 2017

he application of trade facilitation needs further analyses in the context of Indonesian’s law. So far Indonesia does not yet ratify the trade facilitation agreement. In one hand the trade facilitation is a compulsory requirement that must be fulfilled by a state, in other hands the state does not provide a legal instrument. The consequence is legal uncertainty to those parties who want to invest their money in Indonesia. The trade facilitation will also in line with ASEAN programs. Those programs have same purposes to fasten the movement of goods and services by providing legal certainty on trade facilitation foundations. The WTO TFA can be used as ‘soft-law’ for Indonesian legal framework to apply trade facilitation enhancement, although it is not yet ratified by Indonesia. The WTO TFA will easily appropriate and have legal force if the implementation of the WTO TFA into Indonesian national legal structure is also noticeable.
Structugency: A Theory of Action
Authors: A. Kinseng Rilus
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACT
Various social theories have been developed by many social scientists to explain human action individually as well as collectively. Latetely, some theories of human action are discussed within the frame of structure and agency. However, concepts of structure, agency, and their impacts on actor’s action are still debated. This article analyzes meaning of structure, agency, and their impacts onactor’s action. Method used is reviewing and analyzing some important literatures on the topics, consists of text books and international journals. It is shown that the concepts of structure is quite diverse,covers six forms. It is also developed here a concept of agency which emphasize the ability of an actor to think and act independently according to his/her own will. More over, it is argued that structure and agency should be differentiated; thus they are dualism, not duality. Both structure and agency influence an actor’s action.
Keywords: Structure, agency, action, actor, structugency

ABSTRAK
Beragam teori dalam ilmu sosial telah dibangun oleh para ahli untuk menjelaskan tindakan manusia baik secara individu maupun secara kolektif. Belakangan ini tindakan manusia banyak dibahas dalam bingkai perdebatan tentang struktur dan agensi. Namun demikian, ada perdebatan pula mengenai arti struktur, agensi dan kaitannya dengan tindakan aktor. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengertian struktur dan agensi serta peranannya terhadap tindakan aktor. Metode yang digunakan adalah me-review dan mengkaji literatur yang membahas topik tersebut. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa konsep struktur itu mempunyai beragam pengertian, mencakup enam bentuk. Sementara itu, dari beragam pengertian agensi, kajian ini mengetengahkan konsep agensi yang menekankan kemampuan seseorang (aktor/agen) untuk berpikir, bersikap dan bertindak secara independen, bebas, dan otonom, sesuai dengan kehendaknya sendiri. Kajian ini juga mengajukan argumentasi bahwa struktur dan agensi itu bersifat dualisme, dan keduanya mempengaruhi tindakan aktor.

SINYAL INTRASEL PEMICU REORGANISASI SITOSKELETON SEL MAST PADA REAKSI HIPERSENSITIVITAS TIPE I
Authors: Jatmiko Safari Wahyu
Published: October 2017

Sel mast mempunyai peranan yang penting dalam terjadinya reaksi hipersensitivitas tipe I. Degranulasi sel mast diyakini mendasari peran sel mast dalam memunculkan reaksi tersebut. Proses degranulasi sel mast terjadi karena berpindahnya granula sel mast dari sitoplasma menuju ke membran sel dan memuntahkan isi granula ke lingkungan sekitarnya. Proses transport ini sangat ditentukan oleh reorganisasi  sitoskeleton yang terdiri atas mikrotubulus, aktin mikrofilamen, dan intermediate filament. Reorganisasi sitoskeleton diawali dengan aktifasi sel mast oleh ikatan antara alergen dengan IgE yang menempel pada FcεR. Aktfasi sel mast diperkuat dengan adanya ikatan antara c-Kit pada permukaan membran sel mast dengan c-Kit ligan. Aktifasi ini menimbulkan serangkaian proses intrasel yang memicu inisiasi reorganisasi.

Phalaenopsis sp. atau dikenal dengan nama dagang anggrek bulan termasuk famili Orchidaceae yang memiliki nilai ekonomis tinggi. Pembudidayaan tanaman anggrek selama ini terkendala pada biji anggrek yang memiliki daya kecambah kurang dari 1%. Daya kecambah biji yang rendah disebabkan oleh ukuran biji yang kecil dan tidak mempunyai endosperm. Oleh karena itu, perkecambahan biji anggrek perlu didukung oleh hormon tumbuh yang sesuai. Giberelin dan air kelapa diketahui dapat berperan dalam perkecambahan biji. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian Giberelin (GA3) dan air kelapa terhadap perkecambahan biji anggrek bulan (Phalaenopsis sp). Tahapan penelitian yang dilakukan yaitu melakukan sterilisasi, kemudian biji Anggrek diinokulasikan dalam medium MS dengan perlakuan variasi konsentrasi GA3 1 ppm, 2 ppm, 3 ppm dan perlakuan variasi konsentrasi air kelapa 10 mL, 20 mL, dan 25 mL beserta kombinasinya kemudian diamati pada hari ke-21. Parameter yang diamati berupa perkembangan morfologi protocorm dan fase perkembangan protocorm yang dianalisis secara deskriptif, sedangkan daya kecambah protocorm dianalisis ANOVA dan dilanjutkan uji Tukey pada tingkat kepercayaan 95% untuk melihat adanya perbedaan antarperlakuan. Perkembangan protocorm pada 3 perlakuan memperlihatkan fase perkembangan protocorm yang berbeda, yaitu embrio membengkak dan merobek testa, protocorm putih dengan absorbing hair, protocorm putih kekuningan, dan protocorm hijau bulat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian giberelin (GA3) 3 ppm menghasilkan daya kecambah paling rendah dan pemberian kombinasi antara GA3 dan air kelapa menunjukan daya kecambah yang tidak berbeda nyata dengan perlakuan MS.

EKSISTENSI KEWENANGAN KOMISI YUDISIAL REPUBLIK INDONESIA DALAM UUD RI TAHUN 1945 (Studi Perbandingan Komisi Yudisial Indonesia dan Peru)
Authors: Nurhayati Nunik
Published: October 2017

Etika kehidupan berbangsa adalah etika penyelenggaraan negara yang berkaitan dengan perilaku integritashakim sebagai pelaksana kekuasaan kehakiman yang merdeka untuk menyelenggarakan pengadilan guna menegakkan hukum dan keadilan. Pada amandemen ketiga UUD 1945, pembahasan mengenai pengawasan terhadap hakim menjadi isu yang mendesak, sehingga akhirnya disepakati adanya perubahan dan penambahan pasal yang berkaitan dengan Komisi Yudisial pada pasal 24 B UUD 1945 yang kemudian pada tahun 2004 lahirlah  UU No. 22 Tahun 2004 tentang Komisi Yudisial junto UU No. 18 Tahun 2011. Dalam pasal 24 B ayat (1) UUD Tahun 1945, Komisi Yudisial bersifat mandiri. Namun pada kenyataannya, pengertian mandiri disini tidak sepenuhnya mandiri karena berdasarkan UU Komisi Yudisial, kewenangan KY hanya sebatas memberikan rekomendasi terkait penegakan etika hakim kepada Mahkamah Agung (MA) untuk ditindaklanjuti. Konsekuensinya, pada tahun 2015 kemarin, dari 116 rekomendasi yang diberikan KY ke MA hanya 45 rekomendasi yang ditindaklanjuti oleh MA.Berbeda dengan  Negara Peru, KY dibentuk pada tahun 1993 seiring dengan amandemen terhadap konstitusinya karena dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya ketidakpercayaan public terhadap peradilan, terutama independensi hakim. Lembaga ini diatur dalam satu bab khusus dalam konstitusi Peru, yaitu Bab IX tentang Del Consejo National De La Magistratur. Secara substansi , Bab IX mengatur tentang fungsi lembaga dalam struktur ketatanegaraan Perudan keanggotaan lembaga. Pengaturan mengenai KY Peru dalam Konstitusi dilakukan secara definitive, sehingga mengakibatkan kedudukannya yang sangat kuat dalam system ketatanegaraan Peru dan dibentuk sebagai lembaga yang independen, lepas dari segala pengaruh bahkan intervensi dari kekuasaan lain, termasuk kekuasaan kehakiman sekalipun.Maka, yang bisa dilakukan Indonesia adalah penguatan lembaga KY dalam melaksanakan wewenangnya dengan diatur dalam peraturan perundang-undanganagar keputusan Komisi Yudisial dalam penegakan etika hakim bersifat final dan mengikat tidak hanya berupa rekomendasi yang masihharus ditindaklanjuti oleh Mahkamah Agung
