Published: November 2018

An eight-storey commercial building was successfully constructed in Bejing, China, in 2018 using building information modelling (BIM). The adoption of BIM was initially driven by a need to redesign the mechanical and electrical services in the basement following a decision to increase the number of underground floors from three to four but with reduced headroom. However, many other benefits accrued, resulting in the project being completed 4 months early and £180 000 under budget. This paper describes the hardware, software and organisation of BIM on the project and the many efficiencies and improvements it delivered.
Forensic study on the collapse of a high-rise building in Shanghai: 3D centrifuge and numerical modelling
Authors: Wang Wei-Dong , Ng Charles W. W. , Hong Yi , Hu Yun , Li Qing
Published: November 2018

This paper reports a forensic investigation on the unexpected collapse of a 13-storey high-rise residential building in Shanghai soft clay. Prior to the building collapse, a shallow excavation was carried out on one side of the building while a slope was filled on the opposite side. Despite the observed breakage of all the piles in the field, a preliminary forensic numerical analysis adopting a typical undrained shear strength (cu) profile in Shanghai suggests that the piles are very unlikely to break. The surprising contrast has led to this detailed forensic study on the underlying mechanisms for the building collapse, through a site-specific characterisation of the cu profile, three-dimensional centrifuge modelling and numerical back-analysis. Although the typical cu profile in Shanghai increases almost linearly with depth, the clay in this site consists of two major layers with distinctive strength – that is, a relatively soft clay layer (average cu = 23 kPa, thickness = 13·5 m) underlain by a relatively stiff clay layer (average cu = 58 kPa, thickness = 18·2 m). By reproducing this cu profile in the centrifuge test and numerical analysis, the resulting direction of the building collapse and the depths of pile breakage were broadly consistent with those observed in the field. It was found that the surcharge of the fill slope caused the bearing capacity to be exceeded in the upper soft clay layer. This led to the development of a sliding wedge under the surcharge, which extended horizontally (at a depth of 11 m) across the pile foundations to reach the excavation side, and therefore the breakage of the piles. If a typical strength profile in Shanghai (with cu linearly increasing with depth) were adopted, the failure mechanism could be significantly altered from the aforementioned deep slip failure to a shallow passive failure, causing much smaller bending moment in each pile.
Application of specialised in situ tests in Changi East reclamation projects, Singapore
Authors: Bo Myint Win , Lwin Tun , Choa Victor
Published: November 2018

A land reclamation and ground improvement project requires an extensive study of underlying soils, fill material, performance of ground improvement works and shore-protection structures. The area of the Changi East project in Singapore is underlain by soft compressible soils, which will be filled with a greater thickness of granular soil; the project will create shore-protection structures. Therefore, the large magnitude of settlement and stability of shore-protection structures were major issues for the project. A ground improvement and engineering design process was required. This process required a detailed and comprehensive study of the ground profile and characterisation of underlying soils and fill material. Characterisation and interpretation of geotechnical parameters of soils applying specialised in situ testing has become popular due to its unique feature of measuring parameters under in situ conditions. The measured data from specialised in situ tests can be interpreted to obtain geotechnical parameters quickly in addition to soil classification and profiling without the need to collect samples. This paper presents application of specialised in situ tests as well as interpretation of measured data for land reclamation and ground improvement projects. This paper also discusses how these in situ testing methods were utilised to monitor and verify the progress of ground improvement.
Use of incinerated ashes as aggregate in concrete: a compressive strength model
Authors: Lynn Ciarán J. , Dhir Ravindra K. , Ghataora Gurmel S.
Published: November 2018

Municipal solid waste, described as household waste, and sewage sludge, arising from wastewater treatment, are produced in large quantities around the world. Incineration plays a key role in the management of these materials, although the process leaves behind residual ashes: municipal incinerated bottom ash and sewage sludge ash, respectively. This paper examines the use of these ashes as aggregate in concrete, focusing specifically on developing a model to estimate the compressive strength of the concrete. The data used in this work have been obtained from a comprehensive search of the globally published literature. The strength model, focusing on 28 d results, has been developed using a regression analysis approach, with the renowned Abram's law as the foundation. The validated model demonstrated that, with favourable ash properties and mix design parameters, compressive strength results close to the control can be targeted with the use of the ashes as a low content aggregate component.
Seismic response control of building with optimal location of metallic dampers
Authors: Manchalwar Atulkumar , Bakre Sachin V.
Published: November 2018

The design of structures to reduce vibration due to external forces has been of major concern to engineers for many years. In an earthquake, large amounts of energy are transferred to structures, resulting in damage. Current design practice allows structures to yield to absorb energy, without collapse. However, focus has shifted to reduce the response of structures to external forces, which can be done by employing special protective systems. The effectiveness of two types of metallic dissipater (X-plate and accordion dampers) was studied in this work. In the first part of the study, the behaviour of a structure installed with structural control was investigated under eight earthquake records. Dampers in each storey at the outer frame of building were modelled. The dampers reduced damage measures such as like displacement and drift significantly. However, it is not possible to provide dampers in each storey. Thus, in the second part of the study, location-based optimisation was performed using a genetic algorithm for four and eight dampers and the best damper locations were identified for both types of dampers.

Authors: Heyrani Moghaddam Sina , Shooshtari Ahmad
Published: November 2018

A seismic evaluation procedure for a cable-stayed bridge based on the energy balance concept is presented. In this method, the capacity curve obtained from the modal pushover analysis of the cable-stayed bridge is converted to a modal energy capacity diagram. Then, by intersecting this diagram and the energy demand diagram for a selected ground motion, the dynamic target point is obtained. The method was employed on a cable-stayed bridge under Imperial Valley earthquakes with different peak ground motions and the seismic demands were compared with the results from modal pushover and non-linear response history analyses. It was found that this energy balance method can estimate the seismic responses under the selected ground motions with good accuracy. OpenSees software was employed for modelling and analysis of the cable-stayed bridge.

Authors: Susyadi Susyadi
Published: November 2018

Study on thermal hydraulic behavior of the NuScale reactor during secondary system malfunction that causes a feed water temperature decrease has been conducted using RELAP5 code. This study is necessary to investigate the performance of safety system and design in dealing with an accident. The method used involves simulation of reactor transient through numerical modeling and calculation in RELAP5 code covering primary and secondary system, including the decay heat removal system (DHRS). The investigation focuses on the flow and heat transfer characteristics that occurs during the transient. The  calculation result shows that at the beginning, core power increases up to trip set point of 200 MW which is driven by positive feedback reactivity of coolant overcooling and automatic control rod bank adjustment. Meanwhile, the core exit coolant temperature increases up to 600 K. and primary system circulation flow rate speeds up to 556 kg/s. After that, the reactor trips and power drops sharply, followed by opening of DHRS valves and closing of steam line and feed water isolation valves. The simulation shows that, the DHRS are capable to transfer decay heat to the reactor pool and as a result the primary system temperature and pressure decreases. The reactor could stay in safe shutdown state afterward.Keywords: NuScale, RELAP5, feed water, decay heat, simulation SIMULASI KECELAKAAN PENURUNAN TEMPERATUR AIR UMPAN DI REACTOR NUSCALE.

DISCOVER-Seq: MRE11 ChIP Seq v1
Authors: Wienert Beeke
Published: November 2018

Genome editing using nucleases such as CRISPR-Cas induces programmable DNA damage at a target genomic site, but can also affect off-target sites. We develop a powerful assay for the unbiased identification of off-target sites that we term DISCOVER-seq. This approach takes advantage of the recruitment of endogenous DNA repair factors for genome-wide identification of Cas-induced double strand breaks. One such factor, MRE11, is recruited so precisely to a double stranded break that nuclease cut sites can be determined with single-base resolution. DISCOVER-seq is applicable to multiple types of Cas nucleases and provides an unprecedented molecular picture of events that precede repair of the affected sites. DISCOVER-seq furthermore detects off-targets in cellular models and tissues.

Teachers’ Perception of Educational Leadership as a Factor of Readiness for Administrative Positions
Authors: Filinkova E.B. , Shulga T.I.
Published: November 2018

This article analyzes perceptions of educational leadership in teachers. We conducted a survey of 234 teachers which identified the notions of preschool teachers, school teachers and university lecturers about the characteristics of administrative activities and the possibilities it provides for satisfying the individual’s basic needs for work as compared to similar characteristics of executive activities. The study revealed that there is a negative stereotype concerning the educational leadership in the collective consciousness of the teacher community. In spite of the higher wages and greater independence that this position offers, teachers tend to think it has more disadvantages as compared to their own work: it’s much more intense, complex, demanding, filled with responsibilities and much less creative. The combined effect of this negative stereotype and of the teachers’ perceptions of the leading motives of administrative activities (which are, in their opinion, quite different from the motives of teaching) is the fundamental reason underlying the teachers’ reluctance to fill up administrative positions.

Published: November 2018

The article presents screening results for potential and actual risk factors of suicide behavior in adolescents. The sample consisted of more than 6,000 minors aged between 13 and 18.The study included two stages: testing (scales of hopelessness and loneliness, Bass-Purry Aggression Questionnaire, index of well-being, Personal Values Questionnaire, personality disorders questionnaire, FACES III) and individual counselling (diagnostic interviews) with adolescents at risk. The screening procedure allowed us to analyse potential and actual risk factors and to divide the subjects into 4 groups depending on the seriousness of their psychological condition and the required support: two groups of adolescents with actual crisis state and two groups with aggressive behaviour and character accentuation. The second stage of the study consisted of 225 individual diagnostic interviews. We discuss the characteristics of the group of the adolescents with a pronounced inclination towards self-harm who require prolonged psychological and, in some cases, medical assistance. In conclusion, we highlight some important aspects and key components of screening and strategies of preventing suicidal and self-harm behavior among adolescent population.

Arus migrasi Warga Negara Indonesia (WNI) ke luar negeri semakin meningkat, baik untuk tinggal menetap, bekerja ataupun menempuh pendidikan di luar negeri. Bagi WNI yang bekerja, jumlah terbesar warga negara Indonesia berada di sektor informal, dan tersebar di kawasan Asia Timur dan Timur Tengah. Selain itu, cukup banyak pula warga negara kita yang bekerja di sektor formal di luar negeri. Hal tersebut membawa konsekuensi dimana setiap WNI baik yang bekerja, tinggal dan menetap di luar negeri, memiliki hak yang sama untuk mendapatkan perlindungan dari Pemerintah Indonesia. Namun, menjadi persoalan berbeda ketika WNI pekerja sektor informal mengalami permasalahan, mereka tidak selalu bisa mendapatkan hak tersebut. Minimnya akses informasi, serta keterbatasan kemampuan perwakilan Indonesia di luar negeri menjadi penghambat untuk mengimplementasikan perlindungan terhadap Warga Negara Indonesia.Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui model diplomasi perlindungan pemerintah Indonesia terhadap WNI, terutama pekerja di sektor formal dan sektor informal. Model diplomasi perlindungan Pemerintah Indonesia terhadap WNI di luar negeri lebih diprioritaskan pada upaya perlindungan secara hukum, dengan kata lain ketika WNI mengalami suatu permasalahan atau kasus, pihak pemerintah Indonesia melakukan pendampingan dan perlindungan secara hukum sebagaimana panduan hukum yang dijadikan acuan dalam prosesnya selama ini dan pemerintah Indonesia bukan sebagai pihak yang menerima hukuman atas setiap kasus atau pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh WNI. Berangkat sebagai hasil penelitian, proses pengumpulan data tulisan ini dilakukan melalui wawancara dengan para pengambil keputusan yang terlibat langsung serta menelaah berbagai studi terdahulu terkait bentuk diplomasi perlindungan terhadap WNI pekerja di sektor formal dan informal yang telah dipublikasikan, mengklasifikasikan upaya perlindungan terhadap berbagai situasi atau kasus yang dialami oleh warga negara kita tersebut di luar negeri serta pada akhirnya melakukan analisis atas berbagai pemberitaan di media massa.              .Kata-kata Kunci : Model Diplomasi Perlindungan, WNI, Tenaga Kerja
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks Capabilities for Binary Classification of Polar Mesocyclones in Satellite Mosaics
Authors: Krinitskiy Mikhail , Verezemskaya Polina , Grashchenkov Kirill , Tilinina Natalia , Gulev Sergey , Lazzara Matthew A.
Published: November 2018

Polar mesocyclones (MCs) are small marine atmospheric vortices. The class of intense MCs, called polar lows, are accompanied by extremely strong surface winds and heat fluxes and thus largely influencing deep ocean water formation in the polar regions. Accurate detection of polar mesocyclones in high-resolution satellite data, while challenging, is a time-consuming task, when performed manually. Existing algorithms for the automatic detection of polar mesocyclones are based on the conventional analysis of patterns of cloudiness and involve different empirically defined thresholds of geophysical variables. As a result, various detection methods typically reveal very different results when applied to a single dataset. We develop a conceptually novel approach for the detection of MCs based on the use of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs). As a first step, we demonstrate that DCNN model is capable of performing binary classification of 500x500km patches of satellite images regarding MC patterns presence in it. The training dataset is based on the reference database of MCs manually tracked in the Southern Hemisphere from satellite mosaics. We use a subset of this database with MC diameters falling in the range of 200-400 km. This dataset is further used for testing several different DCNN setups, specifically, DCNN built “from scratch”, DCNN based on VGG16 pre-trained weights also engaging the Transfer Learning technique, and DCNN based on VGG16 with Fine Tuning technique. Each of these networks is further applied to both infrared (IR) and a combination of infrared and water vapor (IR+WV) satellite imagery. The best skills (97% in terms of the binary classification accuracy score) is achieved with the model that averages the estimates of the ensemble of different DCNNs. The algorithm can be further extended to the automatic identification and tracking numerical scheme and applied to other atmospheric phenomena characterized by a distinct signature in satellite imagery.

Elongation of the sand spit in Loc An River Mouth located in the Southern Coast of Vietnam was studied using a series of satellite images to overcome the problem associated with lacking data in developing countries like Vietnam. Characteristic changes of the sand spit have been figured out based on the waterlines extracted from the re-rectified satellite images. In addition, longshore sediment transport rate (LSTR) along the up-drift sand spit was calculated based on the idea of the one-line model and this value shows good agreement with the numerical calculation performed in another study of this area.
Halo Concentrations and the Fundamental Plane of Galaxy Clusters

Published: November 2018

According to the standard cold dark matter (CDM) cosmology, the structure of dark halos including those of galaxy clusters reflects their mass accretion history. Older clusters tend to be more concentrated than younger clusters. Their structure, represented by the characteristic radius $r_s$ and mass $M_s$ of the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) density profile, is related to their formation time. In this study, we show that $r_s$, $M_s$, and the X-ray temperature of the intracluster medium (ICM), $T_X$, form a thin plane in the space of $(\log r_s, \log M_s, \log T_X)$. This tight correlation indicates that the ICM temperature is also determined by the formation time of individual clusters. Numerical simulations show that clusters move along the fundamental plane as they evolve. The plane and the cluster evolution within the plane can be explained by a similarity solution of structure formation of the universe. The angle of the plane shows that clusters have not achieved “virial equilibrium” in the sense that mass/size growth and pressure at the boundaries cannot be ignored. The distribution of clusters on the plane is related to the intrinsic scatter in the halo concentration--mass relation, which is originated from the variety of cluster ages. The well-known mass--temperature relation of clusters ($M_\Delta\propto T_X^{3/2}$) can be explained by the fundamental plane and the mass dependence of the halo concentration without the assumption of virial equilibrium.

Multiple births or twinning in equids are dangerous, undesirable situations that compromise the life of the dam and resulting offspring. However, embryo vitrification and freezing techniques take advantage of individuals whose multiple ovulations allow flushing more fertilised embryos from the oviduct to be collected, increasing the productivity and profitability of such techniques. Embryo preservation is especially important in highly endangered populations such as certain donkey (Equus asinus) breeds; for which conventional reproductive techniques have previously failed. For instance, becoming an effective alternative to artificial insemination with frozen semen to preserve the individuals’ genetic material. The objective of this study was to examine the historical foaling records of Andalusian donkeys to estimate genetic parameters for multiple births, assessing the historical foal number born per animal, maximum foal number per birth and multiple birth number per animal. We designed an Animal Model with single records considering the fixed effects of birthyear, birth season, sex, farm, and husbandry system, and age as a linear and quadratic covariate. Restricted maximum likelihood reported heritability estimates ranging from 0.18±0.01 to 0.24±0.01. Genetic and phenotypic correlations ranged from 0.01±0.01 to 0.83±0.01 and 0.12±0.01 and 0.53±0.01, respectively. These estimates enable the potential for selection against/for these traits, offering a new perspective for donkey breeding and conservation.

: The effect that the microstructure exerts on the TRIP phenomenon and on the mechanical properties in a multiphase steel was studied. Samples of an initially cold-rolled ferrite-pearlite steel underwent different intercritical annealing treatments at 750 °C until an equal fractions of austenite/ferrite was reached; the intercritical treatment was followed by isothermal bainitic treatments before cooling the samples to room temperature. Samples in the first treatment were heated  directly to the intercritical temperature, whereas other samples were heated to either 900 or 1100 °C to obtain a fully homogenized, single phase austenitic microstructure prior to the conducting the intercritical treatment. The high temperature homogenization of austenite resulted in the decrease in its stability, so a considerable austenite fraction transformed into martensite by cooling to room temperature after the bainitic heat treatment. Most of the retained austenite transformed during the tensile tests, and as a consequence, the previously homogenized steels showed the highest UTS. In turn, the steel with a ferritic-pearlitic initial microstructure, exhibited higher ductility than the other steels and texture components that favor forming processes.     
Regulatory Limits to Corporate Sustainability: How Climate Change Law and Energy Reforms in Mexico May Impair Sustainability Practices in Mexican Firms

Published: November 2018

This paper challenges the assumption that “state-of-the-art” regulation aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by firms is the panacea that will force firms to face the impact of climate change and create conditions that promote sustainable corporations. We argue that, in fact, such regulation, when improperly implemented, may impair sustainability practices because it creates unintended consequences. This paper tackles the design and efficiency of the institutional framework chosen through the lenses of the analytical themes of fit, scale and interplay. Then, we model a systems dynamic approach to represent how public policy in the arenas of energy effi-ciency and GHG emissions reduction may interplay with competitive business outcomes and cor-porate sustainability schemes. We found, as a result of the institutional design chosen, that the sys-tem is dominated by negative feedback processes resulting in inefficient outcomes that would be better tackled by firms not being subject to the restrictions imposed by the new laws.
HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL APPROACH TO THE PROCESS OF STUDYING OF GENERAL PEDAGOGICAL DISCIPLINES
Authors: Prokofiev Eugene
Published: November 2018

The article analyzes the historical and cultural approach to the implementation of the principle of historicism to resolve the educational and breeding problems. It defined the components, which forms the methodological culture taking into account the innovative ideas and values from the past periods of educational thought development in Ukraine. It proved the necessity of connection between the history of pedagogical science and the real problems of theory and practice of pedagogy nowadays.
Modern pedagogical university should propose a scheme for not only the assimilation and use of knowledge already in the process of learning and teaching practices, their understanding of the unity of disciplines. The need for integrating forms of knowledge, its use and problem are caused by the restructuring of higher education. The idea of dismantling the higher education standards in the global market for the college can be realized through the idea of pedagogical universities. This idea foresaw the changes to increase the array of general knowledge along with professional. Integrating knowledge will facilitate distribution of creative material for individual schemes modeled not for his/her learning, but in order to the use of variant.
A current teacher has a high level of not only professional, but also general training. General education does not mean "omniscience", and the whole thinking capability that covers the relationship of individual branches of knowledge. A teacher in the process of integrating practical actions in their various fields of scientific knowledge works to understand himself and to teach students to solve economic and social problems.
HISTORICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL CHRONOLOGY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNO-CONFESSIONAL MUSICAL EDUCATION OF MENNONITES IN THE SOUTH OF UKRAINE (END OF THE 18TH - EARLY XX CENTURIES)
Authors: Brezhnieva Svetlana
Published: November 2018

Historical and chronological principles that the development of musical education of Mennonites in the South of Ukraine (from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century) is based on were explained. With the use of archetype and historical-cultural methods of research and implementation of historical and pedagogical reconstruction, an educational-organizational criterion and its indicator (subordination of Mennonite schools) were determined. The main research problem is to maintain the integrity of the ethno-religious Mennonite group among the representatives of the titular nation with the help of spiritual music. The main result: three stages of historical and pedagogical development of musical education of Mennonites in the South of Ukraine were substantiated. The significance of the study is that the deficiency of historical and pedagogical knowledge about the spiritual music education of national minorities, which for centuries lived on Ukrainian lands and influenced the history of musical education in Ukraine, was eliminated.
INTEGRAL INDICATOR OF LEVEL DIFFERENTIATION OF RESEARCH COMPETENCE FORMATION LEVEL OF FUTURE ECOLOGISTS
Authors: Kravchenko Sergey
Published: November 2018

Environmental pollution has actualized the search for effective technologies for environmental protection, which requires ecologists with an updated professional component to be implemented, accelerated the dynamics of the educational process, and led to a constant search for methods and means of forming distinct competencies â€“ the components of the training of future environmentalists. According to the Bologna Declaration, the formation of research competence as an important component of professional competence is the deciding feature of the educational process for the preparation of future ecologists. An important task is to develop an appropriate diagnostic toolkit to determine the level of development of research competence through a specific indicator. The article establishes the essence of the definition of "integral indicator", presents pilot studies to determine the list of components of the integral indicator of research competence of future environmentalists. The diagnostics of the level of formation of the research competence of students-ecologists for the given integral indicator in separate educational institutions of the ecological direction has been carried out. The directions of further work on specification of the list and experimental verification of the components and integral indicators, presented in this article for estimation of the level of formation of research competence in the process of professional training of environmental specialists are determined.
