Authors: Bardi Andrea , Tu Eleonora , Ferrero Francesco , Castay Valérie , Guerlain Cindy , Dell'Amico Mauro 
Published: April 2018

The construction sector affects urban logistics, yet its important impacts have often been neglected in urban policies. This paper discusses the need for solutions to mitigate freight urban logistics and shows the findings of the H2020 project SUCCESS with respect to the introduction of Construction Consolidation Centres (CCCs). It was found that introduction of CCCs could bring great environmental, societal and economic benefits, even though each project must be considered individually.&nbsp;A model was developed to estimate the impacts of CCCs based on the input data of four construction sites in big cities in Europe. Simulations were performed to generate a number of scenarios, which were used as input to the mathematical model of the stochastic facility location problem. Information collected at the construction sites and the stochastic data generated were used to produce a series of KPIs to evaluate the opportunity of using a CCC and its sustainability.We also investigated construction logistics in 12 European cities, analysing their approach, solutions adopted and policy frameworks in place through. Having analysed ases from large and medium-sized European cities, the paper represents a very extensive study in terms of urban logistics impacts and solutions related to the construction sector. The implications of these findings are discussed to improve policies in construction logistics.

MEMBANGUN MASYARAKAT SIPIL KRITIS : UPAYA PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP HAK ASASI MANUSIA (HAM)
Authors: Ferricha Dian 
Published: April 2018

Pandangan hidup bernegara telah dijelaskan dalam Undang-Undang Dasar1945. Secara eksplisit dinyatakan bahwa Indonesia adalah negara hukum (rechstaat) bukan negara kekuasan (machstaat). Artinya tata cara bagaimana bertingkah laku antara subyek hukum satu dengan yang lainnya telah dinyatakan oleh para pendiri Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI) pada waktu itu sekaligus meletakkan rambu-rambu kontrol atau pengendali terhadap siapa saja yang diberi kepercayaan untuk menyelenggarakan pemerintahan. Namun kenyataan marak sekali pelanggaran hak asasi manusia (HAM) dalam penerapan hukum yang bertujuan memberikan keadilan dan perlindungan kepada warganya. Masyarakat belum dianggap sebagai partner penentu kebijakan yang dapat memberikan solusi konkret terhadap permasalahan HAM. Anehnya masyarakat merupakan obyek yang terus dilemahkan oleh pemerintah. Hal ini berdampak pada kurangnya kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap segala kebijakan pemerintah mengenai HAM dan menumbuhkan krisis kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap pemerintahan yang ada. Untuk itu dibutuhkan solusi dalam perlindungan hukum terhadap HAM yaitu Pemerintah diharapkan lebih memberdayakan masyarakat untuk ikut andil dalam menentukan segala kebijakan (policy) terutama pada penyelesaian HAM dan penegakan supremasi hukum sehingga akan mempermudah terciptanya masyarakat sipil yang kritis terhadap perlindungan hukum di bidang HAM. Kata kunci : masyarakat kritis, perlindungan hukum, hak asasi manusia.
Toward understanding the second language learning of Arab students in Israel and Canada: The relationship of attitudes and cultural background to reading comprehension
Authors: Abu-Rabia Salim , Feuerverger Grace 
Published: April 2018

This study investigates the relationship of attitudes and of cultural background of 126 eighth-grade Arab students both in Israel and in Canada to their reading comprehension of majority and minority group cultural stories (i.e., Jewish and Arab cultural stories in Israel; Western and Arab cultural stories in Canada). Results showed that in the Israeli-Arab social context when students were given stories that reflected their cultural background, they scored higher on tasks of reading comprehension than when stories were culturally unfamiliar, regardless of the language of the text. However, in the Canadian context, the Arab students scored higher whenever they read stories in English, regardless of the cultural content of these stories. Furthermore, the results of the attitudes questionnaires showed that in Israel the motivation of Arab students in learning Hebrew was primarily instrumental rather than integrative. In the Canadian social context, Arab male students also showed only an instrumental motivation in learning English; however, it is noteworthy that in the Canadian context, Arab female students indicated a strong integrative motivation in learning English. The findings of this study indicate that the intersection between education and society cannot be ignored. In terms of language education, it is essential to develop appropriate pedagogies that respond to the diversity of the social contexts in which the learners are situated.
Noise reduction algorithm with the soft thresholding based on the Shannon entropy and bone-conduction speech cross- correlation bands

Published: April 2018

BACKGROUND: The conventional methods of speech enhancement, noise reduction, and voice activity detection are based on the suppression of noise or non-speech components of the target air-conduction signals. However, air-conduced speech is hard to differentiate from babble or white noise signals. OBJECTIVE: To overcome this problem, the proposed algorithm uses the bone-conduction speech signals and soft thresholding based on the Shannon entropy principle and cross-correlation of air- and bone-conduction signals. METHODS: A new algorithm for speech detection and noise reduction is proposed, which makes use of the Shannon entropy principle and cross-correlation with the bone-conduction speech signals to threshold the wavelet packet coefficients of the noisy speech. RESULTS: The proposed method can be get efficient result by objective quality measure that are PESQ, RMSE, Correlation, SNR. CONCLUSION: Each threshold is generated by the entropy and cross-correlation approaches in the decomposed bands using the wavelet packet decomposition. As a result, the noise is reduced by the proposed method using the MATLAB simulation. To verify the method feasibility, we compared the air- and bone-conduction speech signals and their spectra by the proposed method. As a result, high performance of the proposed method is confirmed, which makes it quite instrumental to future applications in communication devices, noisy environment, construction, and military operations.
Classification of single-channel EEG signals for epileptic seizures detection based on hybrid features
Authors: Lu Yanan , Ma Yu , Chen Chen , Wang Yuanyuan 
Published: April 2018

BACKGROUND: Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder of the brain. Clinically, epileptic seizures are usually detected via the continuous monitoring of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals by experienced neurophysiologists. OBJECTIVE: In order to detect epileptic seizures automatically with a satisfactory precision, a new method is proposed which defines hybrid features that could characterize the epileptiform waves and classify single-channel EEG signals. METHODS: The hybrid features consist of both the ones usually used in EEG signal analysis and the Kraskov entropy based on Hilbert-Huang Transform which is proposed for the first time. With the hybrid features, EEG signals are classified and the epileptic seizures are detected. RESULTS: Three datasets are used for test on three binary-classification problems defined by clinical requirements for epileptic seizures detection. Experimental results show that the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the proposed methods outperform two state-of-the-art methods, especially on the databases containing signals from different sources. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed method provides a new avenue to assist neurophysiologists in diagnosing epileptic seizures automatically and accurately.
Radio Emission from the Exoplanetary System ϵ Eridani
Authors: Bastian T. S. , Villadsen J. , Maps A. , Hallinan G. , Beasley A. J. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
As part of a wider search for radio emission from nearby systems known or suspected to contain extrasolar planets, ϵ Eridani was observed by the Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in the 2–4 GHz and 4–8 GHz frequency bands. In addition, as part of a separate survey of thermal emission from solar-like stars, ϵ Eri was observed in the 8–12 GHz and the 12–18 GHz bands of the VLA. Quasi-steady continuum radio emission from ϵ Eri was detected in the three high-frequency bands at levels ranging from 67 to 83 μJy. No significant variability is seen in the quasi-steady emission. The emission in the 2–4 GHz emission, however, is shown to be the result of a circularly polarized (up to 50%) radio pulse or flare of a few minutes in duration that occurred at the beginning of the observation. We consider the astrometric position of the radio source in each frequency band relative to the expected position of the K2V star and the purported planet. The quasi-steady radio emission at frequencies ≥8 GHz is consistent with a stellar origin. The quality of the 4–8 GHz astrometry provides no meaningful constraint on the origin of the emission. The location of the 2–4 GHz radio pulse is >2.5σ from the star; however, based on the ephemeris of Benedict et al., it is not consistent with the expected location of the planet either. If the radio pulse has a planetary origin, then either the planetary ephemeris is incorrect or the emission originates from another planet.

Abstract
We present timing solutions for 10 pulsars discovered in 350 MHz searches with the Green Bank Telescope. Nine of these were discovered in the Green Bank Northern Celestial Cap survey and one was discovered by students in the Pulsar Search Collaboratory program during an analysis of drift-scan data. Following the discovery and confirmation with the Green Bank Telescope, timing has yielded phase-connected solutions with high-precision measurements of rotational and astrometric parameters. Eight of the pulsars are slow and isolated, including PSR J0930−2301, a pulsar with a nulling fraction lower limit of ∼30% and a nulling timescale of seconds to minutes. This pulsar also shows evidence of mode changing. The remaining two pulsars have undergone recycling, accreting material from binary companions, resulting in higher spin frequencies. PSR J0557−2948 is an isolated, 44 ms pulsar that has been partially recycled and is likely a former member of a binary system that was disrupted by a second supernova. The paucity of such so-called “disrupted binary pulsars” (DRPs) compared to double neutron star (DNS) binaries can be used to test current evolutionary scenarios, especially the kicks imparted on the neutron stars in the second supernova. There is some evidence that DRPs have larger space velocities, which could explain their small numbers. PSR J1806+2819 is a 15 ms pulsar in a 44-day orbit with a low-mass white dwarf companion. We did not detect the companion in archival optical data, indicating that it must be older than 1200 Myr.
Effects of Ion Magnetization on the Farley–Buneman Instability in the Solar Chromosphere

Published: April 2018

Abstract
Intense heating in the quiet-Sun chromosphere raises the temperature from 4000 to 6500 K but, despite decades of study, the underlying mechanism remains a mystery. This study continues to explore the possibility that the Farley–Buneman instability contributes to chromospheric heating. This instability occurs in weakly ionized collisional plasmas in which electrons are magnetized, but ions are not. A mixture of metal ions generate the plasma density in the coolest parts of the chromosphere; while some ions are weakly magnetized, others are demagnetized by neutral collisions. This paper incorporates the effects of multiple, arbitrarily magnetized species of ions to the theory of the Farley–Buneman instability and examines the ramifications on instability in the chromosphere. The inclusion of magnetized ions introduces new restrictions on the regions in which the instability can occur in the chromosphere—in fact, it confines the instability to the regions in which heating is observed. For a magnetic field of 30 G, the minimum ambient electric field capable of driving the instability is 13.5 V/m at the temperature minimum.
Stellar Mass and 3.4 μm M/L Ratio Evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies in COSMOS since z ∼ 1.0

Published: April 2018

Abstract
We investigate the evolution of star formation rates (SFRs), stellar masses, and M/L
3.4 μm ratios of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in the COSMOS survey since z ∼ 1 to determine the contribution of star formation to the growth-rate of BCG stellar mass over time. Through the spectral energy density (SED) fitting of the GALEX, CFHT, Subaru, Vista, Spitzer, and Herschel photometric data available in the COSMOS2015 catalog, we estimate the stellar mass and SFR of each BCG. We use a modified version of the iSEDfit package to fit the SEDs of our sample with both stellar and dust emission models, as well as constrain the impact of star formation history assumptions on our results. We find that in our sample of COSMOS BCGs, star formation evolves similarly to that in BCGs in samples of more massive galaxy clusters. However, compared to the latter, the magnitude of star formation in our sample is lower by ∼1 dex. Additionally, we find an evolution of BCG baryonic mass-to-light ratio (M/L
3.4 μm) with redshift which is consistent with a passively aging stellar population. We use this to build upon Wen et al.'s low-redshift νL
3.4 μm–M
Stellar relation, quantifying a correlation between νL
3.4 μm and M
Stellar to z ∼ 1. By comparing our results to BCGs in Sunyaev–Zel’dovich and X-ray-selected samples of galaxy clusters, we find evidence that the normalization of star formation evolution in a cluster sample is driven by the mass range of the sample and may be biased upwards by cool cores.

The P.A. Sabouroff Collection of Ancient Terracottas from The State Hermitage Museum
Authors: Khodza Elena 
Published: April 2018

The Sabouroff collection was formed in Greece by Pyotr A. Sabouroff (1835–1918), Russian diplomat and statesman, between 1870 and 1879, after which it was purchased by the Imperial Hermitage in 1884. This new and updated catalogue of the Sabouroff collection includes a reconstruction of the events accompanying the purchase of this collection based on documents in the Archives of The State Hermitage Museum. In addition, detailed reports of modern methods of analyses are taken into account that have been utilized for a complete reassessment of the Sabouroff collection for its full publication.
Filling Gaps in SIS Standards for Reliable, Cost Effective Safety Solutions
Authors: Statham Shawn 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Automated Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) have evolved dramatically over the last 20 years becoming critical for mitigating risk and ensuring plant safety in the offshore and process industries. Data from HSE studies (see Figure 1) reveal that 44 percent of failures in safety shutdown control systems are due to insufficient specification. Studies such as this resulted in the development of new safety instrumented system standards ISA84.01/IEC61511 and IEC61508. However, these standards have left end users with little guidance on how to integrate and test these systems. Compliance has grown complex and costly for systems that are often the last line of defense in protecting personnel, the environment and nearby communities.
