ANALISIS PEMILIHAN MODA TRANSPORTASI STUDI KASUS LRT JABODEBEK
Authors: Pahlevi Reza , Nahry
Published: May 2024

According to data from the Department of Transportation, trips to and from Jakarta reached 36,578,671 trips/day with 44% using buses, 31.6% using private cars, 18.2% using motorcycles, and 6.3% using rail. To serve the mobility of the Jabodebek population, the government provides BRT TransJakarta, KRL, MRT, and LRT facilities. However, those who use private cars are still very much causing traffic jams. One of the government's efforts is to provide LRT facilities with a ticket price of IDR15,000 per passenger for the Dukuh Atas to Cibubur route, this fare has increased from the initial planned operation of IDR12,000. The purpose of this analysis is to determine the characteristics of individual travel patterns in using LRT as an alternative mode and to validate the level of Willingness-to-Pay (WTP) and potential demand from choosing the mode using LRT. The research method uses a logit model which states that the probability of choosing a particular mode for a particular trip is based on the relative value of a number of cost factors, service levels, and travel time. With this analysis, it is hoped that this will be a reference for determining LRT rates so that people can switch to using LRT.
ABSTRAK
Menurut data Dinas Perhubungan perjalanan dari dan menuju Jakarta mencapai 36.578.671 perjalanan/hari dengan 44% menggunakan bus, 31,6% menggunakan mobil pribadi, 18,2% menggunakan sepeda motor, dan 6,3% menggunakan rail. Untuk melayani mobilitas penduduk Jabodebek pemerintah menyediakan sarana BRT Transjakarta, KRL, MRT, dan LRT. Meskipun demikian yang menggunakan mobil pribadi masih sangat banyak mengakibatkan kemacetan. Salah satu upaya pemerintah yaitu dengan menyediakan sarana LRT dengan harga tiket Rp 15.000,00 per penumpang untuk rute Dukuh atas sampai Cibubur, tarif ini mengalami kenaikan dari awal rencana pengoperasian Rp 12.000,00. Tujuan dari studi ini untuk mengetahui karakteristik pola perjalanan individu dalam menggunakan LRT sebagai moda alternatif dan memvalidasi tingkat Willingness-to-Pay (WTP) dan potensi demand dari pemilihan moda menggunakan LRT. Metode penelitian dengan membuat model logit yang menyatakan bahwa probabilitas memilih moda tertentu untuk perjalanan tertentu didasarkan pada nilai relatif dari sejumlah faktor biaya, tingkat layanan, dan waktu tempuh. Dengan adanya analisis ini diharapkan menjadi acuan untuk penentuan tarif LRT sehingga masyarakat dapat beralih menggunakan LRT.

The Narasapur Forests lie between 77Â°35'-78Â°55' E longitudes and 17Â°34'- 18Â°20' N latitudes. Botanical explorations were undertaken in this area during the months of September, 1958 and April, 1959.The top soil is sandy to clayey loam with rocks consisting of pink and grey granites. The climate is moist and hot, the temperature varying from 14Â°C to 40Â°C. The annual rainfall is 91 cm., mainly precipitated by south-west monsoon.The vegetation of this region presents the scrub jungle at low elevations with dominant species Gymnosporia spinosa associated with Diospyros melanoxylon and Lagerstroemia parviflora. Patches of grasslands in the scrub jungle show herbs like Borreria hispida, Phyla nodiflora and Striga euphrasioides and grasses Chloris virgaita and Iseilema laxum. As the altitude rises the scrub jungle gradually changes into mixed deciduous forests. The transitional zone is characterised by large populations of Cissus adnata. Butea monosperma is the dominant species in these forests associated with Madhuca indica, Tectona grandis and Terminalia bellerica. The undergrowth is mainly formed by Bridelia montana, Cleistanthus collinus, Olax scandens, Habenaria platyphylla and Sclerocarpus africanus. The lakes and ponds present large populations of Aponogeton natans, Lagarosiphon alternifolius and Nymphaea stellata.Families Leguminosae, Gramineae and Cyperaceae are well represented in the flora of this region.

Studies on the Genus Dioscorea L.
Authors: Sundara Raghavan R.
Published: May 2024

Morphological and cytological studies have been made on 13 species of Dioscorea and their different polyploid forms. New chroomosome numbers have been recorded in D. deltoidea, D. hamiltonii, D. belophylla, D. sansibarensis and D. oppositifolia var. linnaei. Chromosome numbers of the Indian species range from 2n=20 (D. deltoidea) to 2n=100 (e.g. D. bulbifera, D. esculenta) indicating a basic number of x=10 for this genus. Different polyploid races have been observed in 8 species studied, but a study of the epidermal peelings of the leaves shows that there is not much variation in the epidermal patterns between species as also within the polyploid series of any species. The nature of the tubers, occurrence and size of the bulbils, and the morphology of the epidermal hairs are of much taxonomic interest in the delimitation of species and varieties within a given species.

Impactos etnossintáticos nos dados de Mehinaku (Arawak)
Authors: Gruber Gabriel Diniz
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo propõe inicialmente investigar de modo preliminar a origem e alguns dos desdobramentos da aplicação da etnossintaxe para os dados linguísticos da língua mehinaku. Partindo desde o trabalho de Whorf (1979) sobre a língua nootka, a formulação do princípio da relatividade linguística, a análise de sua literatura pela antropóloga Schultz (1990), sua importância para a implementação da etnossintaxe, e o uso desta no estudo de línguas indígenas brasileiras. Em uma outra etapa, busca-se entender como tal compreensão etnográfica da gramática afetaria alguns dos dados já analisados da língua mehinaku, da matriz Arawak. Após um breve panorama do contexto das línguas Arawak e do cenário antropológico da região do Alto Xingu, é proposto um dialogismo de dados linguísticos de Awetí (2014), Corbera Mori (2017) e Felipe (2020), com registros antropológicos e iconográficos da cultura material mehinaku advindos de Gregor (1982), Malhano (1993) e Fénelon Costa (1988, 2014). Aborda-se, portanto, como a etnossintaxe afetaria a compreensão sobre: sufixos classificadores nominais, o campo semântico do termo tɨpa/tɨpe e o léxico corporal humano e não-humano relacionado à moradia tradicional altoxinguana.
Accessible Standard Algorithms for Understanding and Equity: Multidigit and Decimal Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division
Authors: Fuson Karen C. , Kiebler Shannon , Decker Robyn
Published: May 2024

A standard algorithm uses single-digit operations and concepts of place value (Fuson & Beckmann, 2012/2013; The Common Core Writing Team, 6 March 2015). We clarify in this paper that there are several standard algorithms for each kind of multidigit computation and summarize criteria for choosing better algorithms to teach. We discuss the better standard algorithms for multidigit and decimal subtraction, multiplication, and division that we have found to be accessible to students and to parents in our years of work across many schools across the United States. By accessible we mean that students can understand, explain, and carry out accurately the written methods. We teach students to make math drawings that facilitate their understanding by relating each step in the drawing to each step in the written accessible standard algorithm.
Open Science News Informing System for Scientific Libraries
Authors: Ryabova I. I.
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the study is to theoretically and practically substantiate the need to introduce an online news information system into library practice as part of the information support of scientific activities (on the example of Open Science). The work theoretically substantiates that improving the news information system in libraries is necessary in connection with the development of technology, open science, library activities and the rapid growth of disparate sources of information. The experience analysis of 130 libraries in presenting various news information products has led to the conclusion that the implementation of news information requires appropriate technology that would allow us to model the sequence of processes and operations for generating news library and information products.As a result the model of a news information system on open science is developed, which allows searching, collecting, processing, and synthesizing news information on open science, as well as creating, posting and distributing information products, their qualitative and quantitative assessment of effectiveness to be made. It has been implemented on the web platform of the State Public Library for Science and Technology of the Siberian Branch of RAS “Library for Open Science” in January 2023 and demonstrates a gradual increase in the number of all web analytical indicators of news information products created on its basis.
Electronic Library Systems in the Focus of Digital Didactics and Cognitive Features of the Digital Generation
Authors: Gendina N. I. , Kosolapova E. V.
Published: May 2024

The relevance of the practical application of the theory of generations by N. Howe and W. Strauss in the context of digitalization is revealed. The purpose of the article is to analyze the capabilities of electronic library systems as didactic tools designed to promote the development of the cognitive abilities of the digital generation. The results of the study conducted at the Center for Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies of the Moscow State Institute of Culture are presented. The emergence of electronic library systems is characterized as a reaction to the redundancy and unreliability of information in the Internet environment. The phenomenon of the digital generation is analyzed, the maturation and socialization of which occur under the rapid penetration of digital technologies into all spheres of life of a modern person: leisure, everyday life, study, work. Representatives of this digital generation are integrated into digital society from their birth, so they have views, attitudes and values that differ from the worldview of older generations. The distinctive features and problems of developing the cognitive abilities of Z generation are considered. The results of the study of electronic educational systems “Urayt”, “Lan”, “Rukont”, “University Library Online”, “IPR Smart” are presented from the perspective of digital didactics. Violations of the didactic principles of systematic, scientific character, and clarity are identified. Recommendations are formulated for teachers and librarians on the specifics of working with Z generation.
Euclidean Relativity Solves the Hubble Constant Tension
Authors: Niemz Markolf H.
Published: May 2024

Special relativity (SR) and general relativity (GR) describe nature in “subjective concepts” (concepts of an observer). Examples of such concepts are space and time—or waves and particles. Despite the Lorentz covariance of SR, the general covariance of GR, and coordinate-free formulations of SR/GR, the perspective of each observer is egocentric. Even if we consider all these egocentric perspectives, we will not craft a “holistic view” of nature (a view taken from all perspectives in space at the same instant in time) because there is no absolute time in SR/GR. Here I show: Euclidean relativity (ER) describes nature in “objective concepts” (concepts that are immanent in all objects). Space and time are replaced by “pure distance”. Waves and particles are replaced by “pure energy”. Each object’s proper space d1, d2, d3 and its proper time τ span an absolute 4D Euclidean spacetime (ES), where d1, d2, d3 and d4 = cτ are pure distances. The invariant parameter in ER is absolute, cosmic time t. An observer’s reality is created by projecting ES orthogonally to his proper space and to his proper time. ER compares to a “heliocentric model 2.0”, in which the sun is the center of our solar system but not of our galaxy. That model provides a holistic view from “beyond” (outside of) our galaxy. Likewise, ER provides a holistic view from beyond space. The “master reality” ES (described by ER) is beyond each observer’s reality (described by SR/GR). ER solves 15 mysteries geometrically, such as the Hubble constant tension and entanglement. Field equations are not required.

Horndeski-Like Gravity Perturbation Induced by Large-Magnitude Earthquake
Authors: Koorambas Elias
Published: May 2024

We hypothesis that large earthquakes generate Horndeski-like Gravitational Wave (GW). We find that such a Horndeski-like GW propagates with the speed of sound. The sound waves generated by an earthquake make a local and temporal change to the Earth’s diagravitational medium; therefore, they modify the GW speed in a standard, Alternative-Theory-of-Gravity (ATG) sense. The quantum of the Horndeski-like GW is a massless scalar quasiparticle and cannot exist outside of the propagation region of the P-field. The Horndeski-like GW may be detectable by future GW detectors with a sensitivity of 10−15 Hz−1/2 in the region of 0.1–1 Hz.

In this study, MBBR, utilizing kaldnes as a media to attach and grow microorganisms, was used to treat organics in a Compact Septage Treatment Plant (CSTP). Seeding and acclimatization processes were done initially to ensure the microorganisms were able to grow and adapt well within their environments. This research was done to determine the time required for those processes, the optimum conditions, and the growth mechanism of microorganisms during the acclimatization process. Both processes were run in a batch mode. Changes in colour and weight of kaldnes were analyzed for the seeding stage; while COD, MLVSS, pH & temperature were observed for the acclimatization stage. Seeding and acclimatization were run for 6 and 16 days respectively. Acclimatization stage was halted when MLVSS, pH, temperature and COD reduction efficiency were stable. Three phases of microorganism growth were clearly observed in the end of the acclimatization stage, i.e., lag, constant increasing and declining rates. This indicated that microorganisms could adapt well with the MBBR system, and were ready to be utilized further to treat septage in the MBBR of the CSTP. Further research is required to investigate the efficacy of the MBBR with the acclimatized microorganisms in the CSTP.

Quantum computing is tipped to lead the future of global technological progress. However, the obstacles related to quantum software development are an actual challenge to overcome. In this scenario, this work presents an implementation of the quantum search algorithm in Atos Quantum Assembly Language (AQASM) using the quantum software stack my Quantum Learning Machine (myQLM). We present the creation of a virtual quantum processor whose configurable architecture allows the analysis of induced quantum noise effects on the quantum algorithms. The codes are available throughout the manuscript so that readers can replicate them and apply the methods discussed in this article to solve their own quantum computing projects. The presented results are consistent with theoretical predictions and demonstrate that AQASM and myQLM are powerful tools for building, implementing, and simulating quantum hardware.
A Linear Multi-Objective Model for Smart Home Energy Prediction Using IoT
Authors: Hejazi Meraj , Mirani Ehsan
Published: May 2024

The increase in population and the challenges caused by it are always among the concerns of decision-makers and policymakers in large countries. One of the most serious concerns is in the field of energy consumption. Optimizing energy use is one of the most effective ways to manage limited resources and energy. Energy consumption in residential houses constitutes a significant percentage of the total energy consumption worldwide; therefore, current research focusing on mathematical models aims to provide a predictive multi-objective linear mathematical model for residential house consumption. For this purpose, the consumption of water, electricity, and gas for 80 residential houses, including 10 household appliances and equipment on a weekly basis, has been considered. The results showed that the mixed-integer multi-objective predictor model is able to optimize household consumption plans compared to the actual state of household energy consumption. Since the goals of household satisfaction and energy consumption costs in the model conflict with each other, the influence coefficient was calculated to demonstrate the simultaneous achievement of these goals. The optimal value achievable with the default model for the model's purposes is 69%.
Unraveling Electric Vehicle Preference: A Machine Learning Analysis of Vehicle Choice in Multi-Vehicle Households in the United States

Published: May 2024

Electric vehicles (EVs) play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions. In the US, EVs are mostly owned by multi-vehicle households, and their usage is primarily studied in the context of vehicle miles traveled. This study takes a unique approach by analyzing EV usage through the lens of vehicle choice (between EVs and internal combustion engine vehicles) within multi-vehicle households. A two-step machine-learning framework (clustering and decision trees) is proposed. The framework determines the preferred trip category for EV use and captures the effects of household attributes, driver attributes, built-environment factors, and gas prices on EV use in multi-vehicle households. Results indicate that discretionary trips (accumulated local effect = 0.037) are mostly preferred for EV use. EV preference is more pronounced among households with fewer workers (<2) and lower income levels. These findings are valuable for policymakers and auto manufacturers in targeting specific market segments and promoting EV adoption.

Published: May 2024

Equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) causes respiratory diseases, abortion, and encephalomyelitis in horses. EHV-1 immediate-early (IE) protein, essential for viral replication, is transactivated by the binding of a multiprotein complex including the open reading frame 12 (ORF12) and some host factors to the IE promoter region. Promoter-associated non-coding RNAs (pancRNAs), which are transcribed from bidirectional promoters, regulate the transcription of neighboring genes in mammals and pathogens. In this study, we identified a novel pancRNA transcribed from across the areas of the 5’-untranslated region and promoter of EHV-1 IE and named it IE pancRNA. IE pancRNA and mRNA were simultaneously expressed in EHV-1-infected RN33B-A68B2M cells. This pancRNA was also transcribed in RK13 and E. Derm cells, which are highly susceptible to EHV-1 infection. Furthermore, IE pancRNA upregulated IE gene expression in the presence of ORF12, and stable expression of IE pancRNA increased the number of EHV-1-infected RN33B-A68B2M cells. These results suggest that IE pancRNAs facilitate EHV-1 proliferation by promoting IE gene expression.

The knowledge of the precise anatomy and dimensions of the pulp chamber in the different teeth allows the odontologist to perform correct diagnosis, as well as treatment planning and moni-toring. The clinical practice has introduced cone-beam computed tomography (CB-CT) as a method to evaluate the morphology and dimensions of the pulp chamber. Nevertheless, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is regarded as the gold standard in approaching those topics. Here we have designed an algorithm that takes as input DICOM images from in vivo CB-CT of permanent molars to determine the accuracy CB-CT for evaluation of pulp chamber volume. The values were compared with those from in vivo CB-CT (rough and expert manipulated) and ex vivo micro-CT. The relative errors obtained with the volume calculated by the algorithm vs. the volume measured by micro-CT do not exceed 5.7%; also, no significant differences were found between algorithm volumes vs. manipulated CB-CT volumes while all volumes were different from those obtained with automatic CB-CT software. These data demonstrate that volume algorithm CB-CT based may be a reliable technique for evaluation of the pulp chamber volume in permanent molars and can be useful in the diagnosis of pulp diseases, as well as in the planning and monitoring of their treatments.
Multiplicity of Human Scent Signature in Identification of Persons by Computer-Based Olfactronics

Published: May 2024

This short report extends our previous paper “Multiplicity of human scent signature” and transfers canine identification to digital processing of data. The question is whether current GCxGC-MS technology and computer-based identification can perform identification as well as canines. This would objectify the identification of persons. Working with digital scent samples enables the use of multiple scent signatures for more exact identification. More differently constructed signatures during the identification process may represent the key point in identification of persons in olfactronics. Several types of scent signatures were considered in this article. The digital scent signatures were constructed based on the relative contents of the chemical compounds in the samples and relative ratios of compounds in the samples. Further on the signatures were made from the parts of the original samples fractioned by the volatility of compounds and by the relative abundance of the compounds in the samples. These results confirm the scent multiplicity phenomenon in digital scent samples. Using differently constructed signatures may be the key point in identification of persons using digital scent samples. This approach enables a transition from subjectivity to objectivity and a change from physical olfactory to olfactronic processing of digital scent samples.
Data-Driven AI Model for Turbomachinery Compressor Aerodynamics Enabling Rapid Approximation of 3D Flow Solutions

Published: May 2024

The development of new turbomachinery designs requires numerous time-consuming and computationally intensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations. However, most of the generated high spatial resolution data remains unused at later development steps. That is also the case with automated optimization processes that use only a few integral values to determine objectives and constraints. Therefore the development of a data-driven AI model was initiated to ensure the potential of further use of the CFD data which is also used to train the AI model. The presented method subsequently provides a fast approximation of the 3D flow for new designs. In this paper, the structure of the developed AI model is presented and the approximation quality is analysed using a complex, state-of-the-art compressor test case. It is shown that the AI model can reproduce many characteristics of the 3D flow of new designs, and performance measures such as efficiency can be derived from these flow predictions. In addition, the complex test case revealed that greater design variation reduces the AI approximation quality which can lead to undesirable exploratory behaviour in an optimisation setup. Overall, the test case has shown promising results and has provided hints for further improvements of the AI model.
