Authors: Begali Danielly Oliveira , Souza Bianca Sarzi , Nachtigall Aline Manke , Vilas Boas Brígida Monteiro
Published: October 2016

The objective was to develop a candy type brigadier with banana peel 'Prata' and compare it to the traditional brigadier, assessing the physical and chemical characteristicts. Two formulations were prepared: candy type brigadier with banana peel (without condensed milk) and traditional, with condensed milk. The following analyzes were performed: moisture, lipids, crude protein, ash, crude fiber, glicidic fraction, energetic value, L* value, hue angle and chroma. Candy type brigadier with banana peel had higher values of moisture, protein, ash and fiber and lower lipids and glicidic fraction compared to traditional. There was a reduction of 29.98% in energetic value of candy type brigadier with banana peel, can be seen with reduced energetic value. The candy type brigadier with banana peel showed up clearer and yellowish compared to traditional when analyzed without granulated chocolate on the surface. There was no difference between formulations in relation to the L* value, hue angle and chroma when measured with the granulated chocolate. It concluded that the use of banana peels 'Prata' in the preparation of a candy type brigadier is feasible, with reduced energetic value, increase in protein, fiber and ash, and no change in color due to presence of granulated chocolate on the surface.

Published: October 2016

Brazil stands out for its diversity of native palm trees, with about 37 genres and 387 species described. Oenocarpus bacaba Mart.  Commonly known as bacabeira, it is an oleaginous fruit, usually eaten by the riverside and indigenous population in the Amazon region. This study aimed to analyze the physical and chemical characteristics and the lipid profile of the eatable part of bacaba, from Pimenta Bueno - RO. It was conducted physical assessments of the length, diameter, and weight. For the physical and chemical analyze it was characterized according to the Total titratable acidity, pH, reducing sugar, non-reducing and total sugar, moisture, total soluble solids, ashes, protein, lipids and fatty acids. The results for titratable acidity was 0,22g/100g of citric acid, pH 5,83, reducing sugar 4,64g /100g of glucose, total sugar 4,75g /100g of glucose, moisture 30,36%, total soluble solids 69,63g/100g, ashes 1,53g/100g, protein 4,61g/100g, lipids 21,02g/100g. The results demonstrated that the main components of the eatable parts from bacaba are lipids with lower levels of sugar and proteins, making it possible to classify bacaba as a fruit with high oleaginous content slightly acid and low moisture. Bacaba oil showed greater abundance of fatty acid oleic, the main constituent of olive oil. Therefore, considering the obtained data from this study with the nutritional and sensory characteristics described in the literature related to the similarities to the olive oil, the bacaba oil inserted into the feeding to replace the olive oil and other vegetable oils as a source of omega 9.
Inciter des auteurs d’infractions à caractère sexuel incarcérés à se soigner
Authors: Saetta Sébastien
Published: October 2016

La loi du 17 juin 1998 relative à la prévention et à la répression des infractions sexuelles, qui a introduit en France l'injonction de soin à la place ou en complément d'une peine d'emprisonnement ferme, a également introduit la notion d'« incitation aux soins » pour les auteurs d'infractions à caractère sexuel incarcérés. Ces derniers sont regroupés au sein d'établissements pénitentiaires spécifiques disposant notamment d'une unité de soins spécialisée. Dans cet article, sont d'abord décrits et analysés les dispositifs et stratégies par lesquels le législateur, les juges, le personnel pénitentiaire et les thérapeutes de cet établissement et de cette unité s'y prennent pour amener cette catégorie de détenus – a priori peu enclins à demander des soins – dans le bureau des thérapeutes. Y sont ensuite décrites et analysées les techniques mobilisées par ces derniers pour modifier le fonctionnement psychique des détenus, et les amener à réfléchir sur eux, à manifester de l'empathie et à comprendre le sens des interdits. La médicalisation des auteurs d'infractions à caractère sexuel, entre « gestion des risques » et « tutelle de l'intime », constitue ainsi une forme de socialisation autoritaire, les thérapeutes participant à la fabrique d'un sujet contemporain enjoint de travailler sur lui et renvoyé à lui-même dans la gestion de ses désirs et comportements.
Enhancement of Environmental Compliance Management by a Risk Profiling Information Service
Authors: Thimm Heiko
Published: October 2016

Companies are obligated to assure that at any time they comply with all relevant regulations in all relevant subject areas of environmental law. Because this requires compliance management activities that are largely performed by humans, one needs to consider that a company, due to human errors, may unintentionally violate environmental regulations. A novel enhancement for Environmental Compliance Management Information Systems is proposed. The suggested Risk Profiling Service continuously evaluates data about compliance management activities in order to determine activity failures. The risk of non-compliance implied by every failure is estimated and a risk profile is generated by an aggregation of the single risks. A model to investigate non-compliance and to establish a foundation for the targeted information service as well as the required data processing steps are described. Furthermore, an overview of the major building blocks and the central processing principles of a corresponding research demonstrator is given.
Two-Level Data Collection for an Energy-Efficient Solution in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Benaziz Besma , Kazar Okba , Kahloul Laid , Kitouni Ilham , Bourekkache Samir
Published: October 2016

Density in sensor networks often causes data redundancy, which is often the origin of high energy consumption. Data collection techniques are proposed to avoid retransmission of the same data by several sensors. In this paper, the authors propose a new data collection strategy based on static agents and clustering nodes in wireless sensor network (WSN) for an efficient energy consumption called: Two-Level Data Collection Strategy (TLDC). It consists in two-level hierarchy of nodes grouping. The technique is based on an experience building to perform a reorganization of the groups. Cooperation between agents can be used to reduce the communication cost significantly, by managing the data collection smartly. In order to validate the proposed scheme, the authors use the timed automata (TA) model and UPPAAL engine to validate the proposed strategy; the results after and before reorganization are compared. They establish that the proposed approach reduces the cost of communication in the group and thus minimizes the consumed energy.
Fuzzy Optimal Approaches to 2-P Cooperative Games
Authors: Al-Mutairi Mubarak S.
Published: October 2016

In game theory, two or more parties need to make decisions with fully or partially conflicting objectives. In situations where reaching a more favourable outcome depends upon cooperation between the two conflicting parties, some of the mental and subjective attitudes of the decision makers must be considered. While the decision to cooperate with others bears some risks due to uncertainty and loss of control, not cooperating means giving up potential benefits. In practice, decisions must be made under risk, uncertainty, and incomplete or fuzzy information. Because it is able to work well with vague, ambiguous, imprecise, noisy or missing information, the fuzzy approach is effective for modeling such multicriteria conflicting situations. The well-known game of Prisoner's Dilemma, which reflects a basic situation in which one must decide whether to cooperate or not with a competitor, is systematically solved using a fuzzy approach. The fuzzy procedure is used to incorporate some of the subjective attitudes of the decision makers that are difficult to model using classical game theory. Furthermore, it permits researchers to consider the subjective attitudes of the decision makers and make better decisions in subjective, uncertain, and risky situations.
Contextual Relationship Among 3 C's and Innovative Green Procurement Practices Using ISM and Its Validation Using MICMAC Analysis
Authors: Bag Surajit
Published: October 2016

This paper argues for the use of Interpretive Structural Modeling in building a theory of innovative green procurement practices. Earlier researchers have conducted vast studies related to the hard dimensions of green procurement practices. However, there is a dearth of studies focusing particularly on the soft dimensions of green procurement practices. To address the gap in existing literature, this study first systematically reviews the green procurement literature. Secondly, these dimensions were refined through expert interviews from the manufacturing sector. Thirdly, it illustrates the use of ISM method to find the contextual relationship of elements. The ISM model was finally validated using MICMAC analysis. The current study is unique from two perspectives. Firstly, Resource dependence theory was used as a theoretical lens to study the links between elements. Secondly, it integrated innovation and green procurement practices for the purpose of investigation. The findings show strong associations between 3C's (Collaboration, Coordination, and Cooperation) and innovative green procurement practices. The paper concludes with managerial implications and directions for future research.
The Effect of Product Labeling Policies in Supply Chain under Asymmetric Information
Authors: Kumar Manoj
Published: October 2016

Measuring and analyzing product labeling policies in supply chain processes is a largely unexplored topic. This paper analyzes the reasons why suppliers may pursue different product labeling policies in asymmetric information and how this affects buyers' product utility in the context of supply chain collaboration. In an asymmetric information environment, where suppliers know the quality of the goods they are selling and buyers are not able to distinguish between them, the quality buyers select to protect by a label depends on buyer's preferences for and production costs of different qualities. Suppliers with different distributions of tastes and/or different production functions will thus decide to label differently. When they collaborate, product utility effects will be different on the buyer as a whole and on different types of buyers within each buyer depending on whether buyers select to mutually recognize each other's labeling policy or to harmonize their policies. In particular, it will be the case that a buyer with weak preferences for high quality will oppose the introduction of an international, harmonized label as it is better off under a regime of mutual recognition. When suppliers only differ in their costs of producing quality instead, none of the suppliers or buyers will lose from a move towards supply chain collaboration under an international, harmonized label.

Published: October 2016

In the last years, natural disasters have become more frequent and their impacts have reached a large number of people. When these events happen in unprepared regions, they can cause human and material losses. The consequences can be even more catastrophic when the responsible entities are not properly prepared. To minimize the impacts of extreme weather events, especially extreme rain which can trigger severe floods, this paper proposes a methodological approach to monitor floods through open source software, based on watershed's delineation. The suggested approach can be a tool to support disaster risk reduction planning.
A Cached-Based Stream-Relation Join Operator for Semi-Stream Data Processing
Authors: Naeem M. Asif , Bajwa Imran Sarwar , Jamil Noreen
Published: October 2016

Stream-based join algorithms got a prominent role in the field of real-time data warehouses. One particular type of stream-based joins is a semi-stream join where a single stream is joined with a disk -based relation. Normally the size of this disk-based relation is large enough and cannot be fit into memory, available for join operator. Therefore, the relation is loaded into memory in partitions. A well-known join algorithm called MESHJOIN (Mesh Join) has been presented in the literature to process semi-stream data. However, the algorithm has some limitations. In particular, MESHJOIN does not consider the characteristics of stream data and therefore does not perform well for skewed stream data. This article introduces the concept of caching and based on that presents a novel algorithm called Cached-based Stream-Relation Join (CSRJ). The algorithm exploits skewed distributions more appropriately, and the authors present results for Zipfian distributions of the type that appear in many applications. They test their algorithm using synthetic, TPC-H and real datasets. Their experiments show that CSRJ forms significantly better than MESHJOIN. They also drive the cost model for their algorithm and based on that they tune the algorithm.
On Strengthening of Weak Algebraic Manipulation Detection Codes
Authors: Alekseev Maksim
Published: October 2016

Algebraic manipulation detection codes were introduced in 2008 to protect data against a special type of its modification – an algebraic manipulation. There are three classes of codes: weak, strong and stronger ones. Weak codes detect only weak algebraic manipulations, while strong and stronger are capable to detect both weak and strong manipulations. In this paper, a method to transform codes from weak to stronger is described resulting in a construction of generalized robust codes. The proposed construction forms the second known family of stronger AMD codes. Codes provide simple procedures of error detectiona and correction, and allow using multi-code codec design that makes it applicable in fault-tolerant computing, storage and cryptographic devices.
Hybrid Energy Efficient Protocol with Service Differentiation for QoS Provisions in Multi-Hop WSNs
Authors: Bourmada Amal , Bilami Azeddine
Published: October 2016

The growing demand of usage of wireless sensors networks (WSNs) in multiple types of applications such as environment monitoring or asset tracking makes the quality-of-service (QoS) a paramount topic in wireless sensors applications. In these applications, each sensor node may collect different types of data with different levels of importance involving a different treatment to meet QoS purpose. Consequently, a sensor network should be ready to spend more resources in transmitting packets that hold more important information. In this paper, the authors propose an enhanced protocol with differentiated services for WSNs called QoS-HEEP. The proposed protocol is an improvement of HEEP protocol while providing requested quality of service for high priority real time traffic, which is distinguished from the low priority and non-real time traffic. Thus, input traffic streams are served based on their priorities. Through simulations using NS Simulator; it is observed that the authors' proposal outperforms more than other protocols developed in the literature for QoS provisions in WSNs.

Published: October 2016

Enabling computer tasks with different levels of criticality running on a common hardware platform has been an increasingly important trend in the design of real-time and embedded systems. On such systems, a real-time task may exhibit different WCETs (Worst Case Execution Times) in different criticality modes. It is well-known that traditional real-time scheduling methods are not applicable to ensure the timely requirement of the mixed-criticality tasks. In this paper, the authors study a problem of scheduling real-time, mixed-criticality tasks with fault tolerance. An optimal, off-line algorithm is designed to guarantee the most tasks completing successfully when the system runs into the high-criticality mode. A formal proof of the optimality is given. Also, a novel on-line slack-reclaiming algorithm is proposed to recover from computing faults before the tasks' deadline during the run-time. Simulations show that an improvement of about 30% in performance is obtained by using the slack-reclaiming method.
On the Use of Virtual Environments in Engineering Education
Authors: Vergara D. , Lorenzo M. , Rubio M.P.
Published: October 2016

Virtual resources (VR) in the form of interactive media applications (IMA), didactic videos (DV), interactive virtual platforms (IVP) or Small Virtual Resources (SVR), etc. are becoming powerful didactic tools in university teaching. This is particularly important in the case of engineering studies where these VR allow overcoming spatial visualization problems, learning mechanisms operation, etc., and increasing the student motivation in learning process. Thus, the understanding of complex concepts in engineering can be solved. In this paper, a review of the student opinion with regard to the use of diverse VR is presented. To achieve this goal, during the last years (2013-2015) different VR in diverse forms (IMA, DV, IVP and SVR) were used in teaching of engineering degrees at three different engineering schools. The opinion of students was collected in the form of surveys applied at the end of the course. According to obtained results, students considered very useful the use of VR in teaching/learning. However, they do consider them necessary as a complement of the teacher master class. In addition, from students' surveys, an estimation of the time distribution for each teaching activity can be draft which provides useful information for adapting the teaching of engineering studies.
Linguistic Accessibility for Small Language Cinema
Authors: Deogracias Marijo , Amezaga Josu
Published: October 2016

Audiovisual accessibility is considered as a basic right. In a world where audiovisual material is more and more present, several measures have been taken in order to facilitate the access to it by people living with sensory disabilities; some of them at the regulatory level and others at the technological level. As a part of a wider project, this article addresses the issue of the accessibility to the audiovisual material from another perspective: that of the small languages. From this point of view, language is a barrier which prevents potential viewers from watching cinema in small languages. This is a major concern especially in contexts where dubbing is the norm for language-transfer. This paper presents and discusses some results of the analysis of the regulation and practices of audiovisual accessibility, as well as the outcome of some experiments conducted by applying the technology for the audiovisual accessibility in the field of the linguistic accessibility. The case of cinema in Basque language is considered for this purpose.

Published: October 2016

This study was designed to examine pre-service teachers' proficiency, use, and their perceptions of the benefits and barriers to the use of Google Apps to support their teaching and learning practices. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The findings showed that almost two-thirds (63%) of participants were advanced or expert users of Google Apps whereas almost one-fourth (24%) reported that they had intermediate experience and 13% reported possessing poor experience. It was found also that participants used Google Apps the most for communication purposes, backing up and sharing data, and accessing teaching materials. The findings also revealed that participants perceived Google Apps as a valuable tool to improve teaching and learning. However, their use of Google Apps was hindered by several barriers, such as deficiency of access to reliable technology, increasing workload, lack of collaboration skills, cheating and plagiarism, and lack of integration skills.

Published: October 2016

The paper describes development of the educational online web communication platform for teaching and learning foreign languages. The main objective was to develop a web application for teaching foreigners to understand casual fluent speech. The system is based on the time bank principle, allowing users to teach others their native language along with taking foreign language lessons. The system is based on the WebRTC technology, allowing users to access synchronized teaching materials along with seeing and hearing each other. The paper describes studies associated with user involvement in the learning/teaching process. The hypothesis whether two previously unfamiliar individuals could communicate with each other using a foreign language, based on the developed system algorithms, was tested. System virality, where new users are attracted by the existing users was also studied, along with user motivation for viral behavior. Relationships between monetization, virality and user involvement were also considered.

Published: October 2016

The combined system STBC-OFDM has considered an important association to integrate into actual and next wireless system. Such as the Wifi standard, WiMAX standard, the LTE fourth generation of mobile. Which combat the effect of multipath fading channel that limited the performance in wireless communications. In recent years, this association has been a large study to achieve a better performance of BER and designed for the different situation of the wireless channel from slow to fast fading channel, with various parameters of OFDM modulation and under different condition of STBC code. To contribute in this axis of research, we present a comparative study of the simulation result for STBC-OFDM. The first results are the comparison between three schemes of STBC (Alamouti code, Orthogonal STBC, Non-Orthogonal STBC) associated with OFDM. The second results are the comparison between three schemes when applied OFDM in different parameters and also when these codes used without OFDM modulation. The channel considered across simulation is Rayleigh fading channel that presented a real situation of the wireless environment, the Maximum Likelihood (ML) is used for detection the data that encoded in the first. The performance of three schemes is evaluated by BER (Bit Error Rate) versus the different values of SNR (Signal Noise Ratio).

Published: October 2016

It is common occurrence that the transportation of petroleum products via pipelines is susceptible to failure either naturally or intentionally. The paper is a diagnostic problem having continuous inputs of pattern recognition used in predicting pipeline failures. Our problem is to design a neural network that will recognize failure events in pipelines when fed with an input pattern denoting such a scenario. A neural network paradigm is selected, and encoding of input is done to obtain the input pattern. The selected model is simulated and trained to recognize the output pattern, which in our scenario after training, goes into operational mode.The neural network is fully implemented on a Pentium II MMX computer with a Borland C++ builder.

Authors: Mishra Akanksha , Kumar Gundavarapu Venkata Nagesh
Published: October 2016

Severity assessment of transmission lines is a very important aspect of contingency analysis of a power system. Thereafter, a proper solution needs to be provided to ensure a secured power supply. In this paper, rapid contingency ranking technique (RCRT) has been introduced for the contingency assessment of a power system. Several composite indices have been designed by forming different combinations of line overload indices and voltage stability indices and the results have been compared. Deterministic and probabilistic approach have been used for the placement of IPFC and the results have been compared. While, the probability approach protects the system against most of the contingencies, the deterministic approach protects the system against the severe-most contingency. Thereafter, the IPFC is tuned using the differential evolution method. A multi-objective function has been formulated for tuning the device. The use of IPFC to overcome the post-contingency problems has been reinforced by implementing the proposed strategy on an IEEE 57 bus system.

Zooplankton predators and prey: body size and stable isotope to investigate the pelagic food web in a deep lake (Lake Iseo, Northern Italy)
Authors: Leoni Barbara
Published: October 2016

Seasonal changes in trophic position and food sources of deep subalpine lake (Lake Iseo, Northern Italy) zooplankton taxa were investigated during the year 2011. Furthermore, it's combined carbon and nitrogen Stable Isotope Analysis (SIA) with size-specific analyses of both, the major predatory cladoceran (Leptodora kindtii, Focke) and two potential preys (Daphnia longispina complex and Eubosmina longicornis). SIA studies have been extremely useful to track the energy flow through complex trophic network, however, if it is applied to analyze relation between two/few species may lead to misleading interpretations. In fact, integrating size-specificity allowed for understanding why L. kindtii nitrogen isotopic fingerprint fully overlapped with Daphnia, in spring. By investigating changes in L. kindtii's feeding basket, we found that in spring, L. kindtii mainly relied upon E. longicornis as prey, Daphnia being of too large body size for being captured by L. kindtii. Among preys encountered directly in front by a free-swimming Leptodora, only those able to fit into basket opening can be captured. As basket diameter increases with animal body length, size selection of prey depends on L. kindtii body length. As in other deep, subalpine lakes, E. longicornis was less 15N-enriched than Daphnia, most likely because of exploiting nitrogen fixing, cyanobacteria colonies, commonly detected in Lake Iseo with the onset of thermal stratification. Cyclopoid adults were at the top of zooplankton food chain and they could potentially be feeding on Daphnia. They, however, likely fed in a different habitat (>20 m deep water), as suggested by a rather than negligible carbon fractionation. The results overall suggest that size-specificity is crucial for addressing space and time changes in trophic links between organisms composing the two hierarchical levels within open water zooplankton community.

SELF-EXPLAINING VIDEOS FOR THE MUSEO EGIZIO IN TURIN
Authors: Gabellone Francesco , Ferrari Ivan , Giuri Francesco , Chiffi Maria
Published: October 2016

In the present project for the setting of the new Museo Egizio of Turin the “cultural message” has been charged to make a few specific 3D computer graphic (CG) movies, and aims to introduce the topics dealt with the rooms dedicated to queen Nefertari, the chapel of the painter Maia and the tomb of Kha, respectively. In these movies, the passivity of viewing is counteracted with an emotional approach that involves the visitor within an informative path where, despite of the inactive kind of interaction, the viewer is somehow involved in the events because he or she is emotionally invested in them. Thanks to this passive and “self-explaining” approach, the visitor will be enabled to understand the relations between different objects, some of which are not directly visible. Moreover, the visitor will be able to virtually insert the tombs within their original context and above all will have the possibility to visit them as they appeared at the moment of their discovery. This has been made possible thanks the use of integrated technologies of representation, able to enhance the virtualization process to a verisimilar level allowing a hyper-realistic and “participative” vision. The high level of realism of the virtual reconstruction, the visual effects and the cinematographic representation, with added emotions to the scientific contents, positively contribute to the “dreamlike displacement” of the visitor between the real and the virtual dimensions.
DIGITAL IMAGE ANALYSIS OF THE VISIBLE REGION THROUGH SIMULATION OF ROCK ART PAINTINGS
Authors: Carrión-Ruiz Berta , Blanco-Pons Silvia , Lerma Jose Luis
Published: October 2016

Non-destructive rock art recording techniques are getting special attention in the last years, opening new research lines in order to improve the level of documentation and understanding of our rich legacy. This paper applies the principal component analysis (PCA) technique in images that include wavelengths between 400-700 nm (visible  range). Our approach is focused on determining the difference provided by the image processing of the visible region through four spectral images versus an image that encompasses the entire visible spectrum. The images were taken by means of optical filters that take specific wavelengths and exclude parts of the spectrum. Simulation of rock art is prepared in laboratory. For this purpose, three different pigments were made simulating the material composition of rock art paintings. The advantages of studying the visible spectrum in separate images are analysed. In addition, PCA is applied to each of the images to reduce redundant data. Finally, PCA is applied to the image that contains the entire visible spectrum and is compared with previous results. Through the results of the four visible spectral images one can begin to draw conclusions about constituent painting materials without using decorrelation techniques.

Between 2010 and 2012, under the International Cooperation for Development, a virtual archeology project was realized in Amazonian Andes of Peru. The project was carried out with collaboration from Universitat Politécnica de València (UPV) and the Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional al Desarrollo (AECID), with archeologists taking part in Proyecto Especial Kuélap (PEK). The goal was to create a virtualization of Kuélap, an important monumental citadel constructed by the ancient Chachapoya society. The fruits of the project was the website “kuelapvirtual.com", that offers an interactive virtual visit (like street view) as well as geographical and archaeological information of interest. Furthermore, a virtual 3D reconstruction was created from blueprints, topographic data available and assistance from archaeologists. The 3d digital model made the fabrication of a two prototipes: an archaeological model in scale 1:750 and a topographical model in scale 1:17500, obtained through 3D printing at the Department of Engineering Projects at Universitat Politècnica de València.
Accidentes viales de los motociclistas en México: subgrupos y factores de riesgo

Motorcycling as a means of transportation has grown rapidly in Mexico. In the last decade, the number of motorcycles increased 338.05%, which means that motorbikes represent 5.97% of the total number of vehicles in the country. During this period, however, the annual average shows that 3.16% of motorcyclists had an accident, which is proof that motorcycle riders are vulnerable users with high risks in terms of road safety. The objective of this research is to identify the subgroups of motorcyclers with higher accident risks and to identify risk factors. The sample for the quantitative study included all motorbike riders who died or were injured as a result of a reported road accident, between 2000 and 2014. The sample was obtained using the database at the National Institute for Statistics and Geography and the General Direction of Health Information. Descriptive variables were determined for all the categories and were matched to the death cause to find statistical correlation. These systems of information registrered, during 2014 in Mexico, more than 41,881 accidents and 826 deaths caused by motorcycle accident. The highest number of accidents involved men (P<0.001) between 20 and 30 years old, where 20.55% had head injuries and only 16.59% of bikers were wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. This combination – age 20-30, male gender and not wearing a helmet – seems to be a powerful risk factor. However, accidents are largely underreported due to the fact that the format used to receive attention after suffering a violent attack or injury (SIS-SS-127-P) does not include the motorcycle as an agent of injury. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance to create a reliable statistical system and promote a good road safety culture together with protective factors and safety equipment.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.2172
DIESEL SUPPLY PLANNING FOR OFFSHORE PLATFORMS BY A MATHEMATICAL MODEL BASED ON THE VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM WITH REPLENISHMENT
Authors: Rosa Rodrigo De Alvarenga , Astoures Henrique Fiorot , Rosa André Silva
Published: October 2016

Oil exploration in Brazil is mainly held by offshore platforms which require the supply of several products, including diesel to maintain its engines. One strategy to supply diesel to the platforms is to keep a vessel filled with diesel nearby the exploration basin. An empty boat leaves the port and goes directly to this vessel, then it is loaded with diesel. After that, it makes a trip to supply the platforms and when the boat is empty, it returns to the vessel to be reloaded with more diesel going to another trip. Based on this description, this paper proposes a mathematical model based on the Vehicle Routing Problem with Intermediate Replenishment Facilities (VRPIRF) to solve the problem. The purpose of the model is to plan the routes for the boats to meet the diesel requests of the platform. Given the fact that in the literature, papers about the VRPIRF are scarce and papers about the VRPIRF applied to offshore platforms were not found in the published papers, this paper is important to contribute with the evolution of this class of problem, bringing also a solution for a real application that is very important for the oil and gas business. The mathematical model was tested using the CPLEX 12.6. In order to assess the mathematical model, tests were done with data from the major Brazilian oil and gas company and several strategies were tested.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.2217

SOCIAL EXCLUSION AND HIGH SPEED RAIL: THE CASE STUDY OF SPAIN
Authors: Pagliara Francesca , Menicocci Fabrizio , Vassallo Jose Manuel , Gomez Juan
Published: October 2016

Very few contributions in the literature have dealt with the issue of social exclusion related to High Speed Rail systems. The objective of this manuscript is to understand what are the factors excluding users from choosing High Speed Rail services considering as case study Spain. For this purpose, a Revealed Preference survey was employed in November and December 2015. A questionnaire was submitted to users of the Spanish transport systems travelling for long distance-journeys. The aim was that of investigating their perception of High Speed Rail system and the factors inhibiting passengers or excluding them from its use. Data about their socioeconomic characteristics were collected as well. The main result of the survey has been that a relationship between social exclusion and High Speed Rail in Spain is present, especially in terms of geographical exclusion.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.3100
¿Qué es un DOT? Análisis de casos
Authors: Sastre González Julián , Cuello León Maria , Romero Adame Cinta , Vaquero Redondo Noemí
Published: October 2016

Son claros los efectos negativos del patrón de crecimiento urbano disperso y del enfoque de la planificación del transporte desde la oferta, en vez de hacerlo desde la demanda. Las medidas que buscan un incremento de la oferta de infraestructura viaria (mediante construcción de nuevas o ampliación de las existentes) con el fin de satisfacer la demanda creciente de tráfico motorizado, orientadas a la mejora del desplazamiento en vehículo privado, no sólo son insuficientes para solucionar el problema de la movilidad urbana, sino que, favorecen el crecimiento de los viajes en coche y con ello generan una mayor congestión. La idea del desarrollo sostenible, que propone crecer económicamente con equidad, sin dañar los ecosistemas y superando la pobreza, es una referencia obligada en las diversas actividades y disciplinas. El urbanismo no es la excepción, sobre todo si se considera que la ciudad transforma de manera intensa el medio ambiente. Por lo tanto, el urbanismo tiene una estrecha relación con la propuesta de sostenibilidad. Aparece una nueva tendencia conjuga urbanismo y movilidad, es el denominado DOT: “Desarrollo Urbano Orientado al Transporte Público”. Esta tendencia se basa en el desarrollo urbano en áreas adyacentes a estaciones de transporte masivo con el objetivo de fomentar un mayor uso del sistema de transporte público y a la vez potenciar la sostenibilidad financiera de dicho sistema mediante la concentración de la demanda de usuarios del transporte público a partir de la re /densificación urbana en zonas estratégicas. Los desarrollos DOT se diseñan según ocho principios ligados al urbanismo sostenible: Caminar, Pedalear, Conectar, Transportar, Mezclar, Densificar, Compactar y Cambiar. Se analizan tres experiencias internacionales de DOT estudiando la aplicación de cada uno de los principios DOT a través de un análisis comparativo de buenas y malas prácticas.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.3182
An Ordered Regression Model to Predict Transit Passengers’ Behavioural Intentions

Published: October 2016

Passengers’ behavioural intentions after experiencing transit services can be viewed as signals that show if a customer continues to utilise a company’s service. Users’ behavioural intentions can depend on a series of aspects that are difficult to measure directly. More recently, transit passengers’ behavioural intentions have been just considered together with the concepts of service quality and customer satisfaction. Due to the characteristics of the ways for evaluating passengers’ behavioural intentions, service quality and customer satisfaction, we retain that this kind of issue could be analysed also by applying ordered regression models. This work aims to propose just an ordered probit model for analysing service quality factors that can influence passengers’ behavioural intentions towards the use of transit services. The case study is the LRT of Seville (Spain), where a survey was conducted in order to collect the opinions of the passengers about the existing transit service, and to have a measure of the aspects that can influence the intentions of the users to continue using the transit service in the future.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.3199
