RANCANGAN SIMULASI ANTRIAN KENDARAAN PADA PERSIMPANGAN JALAN BERBASIS MULTI AGENT MENGGUNAKAN LOGIKA FUZZY
Authors: Suhanda Suhanda 
Published: October 2018

Jurnal ini membahas dan menjelaskan tentang optimasi antrian kendaraan, khususnya pada persimpangan jalan di kota-kota besar.Hal ini dilatar belakangi oleh pengaturan waktu nyala Lampu Lalulintas pada persimpangan jalan tersebut yang nyalanya kurang effektif. Dengan antrian semakin panjang, yang memungkinkan akan menyebabkan kemacetan di jalan yang dekat dengan persimpangan tersebut. Untuk menuju kepada kelancaran antrian tersebut, maka akan diatur waktu nyalanya Lampu Lalulintas (terutama lampu warna Hijau) secara relatif Untuk mengatur lamanya waktu nyala Lampu Lalulintas pada suatu jalur, tergantung dari kepadatannya antrian kendaraan tersebut. Begitu pula jika jalur lain atau yang berlawanan padat antrian kendaraannya, maka waktu yang lama untuk Lampu Hijau pindah ke jalur lain, atau bisa juga kedua-duanya, Disamping Lampu Hijau juga diatur nyala untuk Lampu yang warna kuning, dan merah. Dimana waktu nyala Lampu merah akan berlawanan dengan Lampu warna Hijau, tergantung padatnya antrian kendaraan. Pada saat ini di persimpangan jalan, Lampu Lalulintas belum semua memakai alat pengatur waktu untuk menentukan berapa detik nyala warna Hijau, Merah, dan Kuning. Walaupun ada, masih bersipat konstan, tidak memandang apakah antrian panjang atau pendek. Pada pembahasan ini yang dibuat hanya Game Simulasi saja. yang berbasis Multi Agent cerdas, menggunakan logika Fuzzy,yang dilengkapi dengan Algoritma Greedy Dalam hal ini variabel Input, adalah kepadatan pada jalur I, jalur II,dan jalur III. Sedangkan variabel output adalah Lamanya Lampu Hijau menyala untuk satu jalur. Variabel Input diasumsikan fungsi keanggotaan tidak padat, padat, dan sangat padat. Sedangkan variabel Output diasumsikan dengan fungsi keanggotaan Cepat, Sedang, dan Lama. Hal ini biasa juga diatur dengan software Matlab.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat diperkirakan bahwa Antrian yang panjang pada persimpangan jalan, dapat menimbulkan kemacetan, dan Lampu Lalu lintas sebagai sarana untuk melayani Antrian Kendaraan kurang effektif, karena waktu nyala kurang memadai kalau dibandingkan dengan panjangnya Antrian. Simulasi Antrian Kendaraan berbasis Multi Agent ini akan mampu membantu mengurangi kemacetan dan membantu memperlancar lajunya Antrian Kendaraan, dengan cara mengatur waktu nyala Lampu Lalu lintas yang lamanya disesuaikan dengan panjangnya Antrian kendaraan. Dengan demikian Antrian kendaraan pada persimpangan jalan menjadi optimal dan kemacetan menjadi berkurang.

Published: October 2018

It is known that password itself is not enough for formidable authentication method since it has a lot of vulnerabilities. Multi factor authentication (MFA) is introduced for the next generation for good authentication to address that issue. MFA combines two or more of three principles of good security, “something you know”, “something you have”, and “something you are”. Most MFA mechanisms work as one time passwords (OTP). However, they can still be vulnerable to phishing and MiTM attack. On top of that, OTP can be hard to use as it requires user to input another password given by the device (SMS, token, authenticator). Implemented in small USB U2F device, FIDO U2F delivers easier yet stronger security on authentication process which implements public key cryptography, challenge-response protocol, and phishing and MitM protection.

Authors: Mendiratta Priya , Wei Jeanne Y. , Dayama Neeraj , Li Xiaocong 
Published: October 2018

Background: Patients with Down syndrome (DS) often survive into adulthood. Relatively little information is currently available regarding hospitalization outcomes among mature, older adults with DS. Objective: To identify risk factors associated with hospital mortality rates and increased costs for hospitalized older adults with DS. Methods: Data on hospitalized older adults with DS (≥65 years) were identified from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database (6) from 2002 through 2012. Multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate risk factors associated with hospital mortality and hospitalization cost in these patients. Results: A total of 2,134 older adults with DS were identified. A temporal increase over the 11-year period was observed in the number of older adults with DS who were hospitalized (trend p < 0.0001). However, the hospital mortality rate and post-hospital discharge to skilled nursing facilities have decreased during the same time period. Risk factors associated with increased hospital mortality included advanced age (70–79 years), female gender, admissions in the western United States, and presence of comorbid conditions (ischemic heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and cerebrovascular accident). The mean cost was $18,241 (SD $56,105) over the 11-year period. However, no significant temporal changes in costs were noted (trend p = 0.14). Conclusions: The number of hospitalized elderly Americans with DS has increased over the 11-year period. However, hospital mortality and discharge to skilled nursing facilities have decreased during the same time period. Several demographic and co-morbid factors are associated with increased mortality. No significant differences in temporal trends in costs were noted.
Influence of water on the strength and deformation properties of a granitic aplite at high pressures and temperatures
Authors: Alm Ove 
Published: October 2018

Even in small amounts water has been found to affect severely the rheological behaviour of minerals like quartz and olivine. Very little is known, however, about the influence of water on the deformation properties of aggregates of different silicates.
I have deformed both dry and water saturated specimens of a fine grained aplite from Malmberget in Northern Sweden at temperatures up to 800° C and confining pressures up to 1.5 GPa. The experiments were performed in a Griggs'hot creep apparatus operated in the constant strain-rate mode (10-6 &lt; ê &lt; 10-4 s-1). Lead or sodium chloride was used as pressure transmitting medium.
Water influences the strength of this rock, but the effect is moderate. Experimental results at different temperatures and pressures are presented and differences in microstructures are also discussed.

Published: October 2018

Abstract
Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) numerical simulation is an important tool in the prediction of solar wind parameters. In this study, we improve our corona interplanetary total variation diminishing MHD model by using a new boundary applicable to all phases of solar cycles. This model uses synoptic magnetogram maps from the Global Oscillation Network Group as the input data. The empirical Wang–Sheeley–Arge relation is used to assign solar wind speed at the lower boundary, while temperature is specified accordingly based on its empirical relation with the solar wind speed. Magnetic field intensity and solar wind density at the boundary are obtained from observational data in the immediate past Carrington rotations, permitting the persistence of these two parameters in a short time period. The boundary conditions depend on only five tunable parameters when simulating the solar wind for different phases of the solar cycle. We apply this model to simulate the background solar wind from 2007 to 2017 and compare the modeled results with the observational data in the OMNI database. Visual inspection shows that our model can capture the time patterns of solar wind parameters well at most times. Statistical analysis shows that the simulated solar wind parameters are all in good agreement with the observations. This study demonstrates that the improved interplanetary total variation diminishing model can be used for predicting all solar wind parameters near the Earth.
Double Peaks of the Solar Cycle: An Explanation from a Dynamo Model
Authors: Karak Bidya Binay , Mandal Sudip , Banerjee Dipankar 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
One peculiar feature of the solar cycle that is yet to be understood properly is the frequent occurrence of double peaks (also known as the Gnevyshev peaks). The double peaks, and also multiple peaks and spikes, are often observed in any phase of the cycle. We propose that these peaks and spikes are generated due to fluctuations in the Babcock–Leighton process (the poloidal field generation from tilted bipolar magnetic regions). When the polar field develops, large negative fluctuations in the Babcock–Leighton process can reduce the net polar field abruptly. As these fluctuations in the polar field are propagated to the new toroidal field, these can promote double peaks in the next solar cycle. When fluctuations in the polar field occur outside the solar maximum, we observe their effects as spikes or dips in the following sunspot cycle. Using an axisymmetric Babcock–Leighton dynamo model, we first demonstrate this idea. Later, we perform a long simulation by including random scatter in the poloidal field generation process and successfully reproduce the double-peaked solar cycles. These results are robust under reasonable changes in the model parameters, as long as the diffusivity is not too much larger than 1012 cm2 s−1. Finally, we analyze the observed polar field data to show a close connection between the short-term fluctuations in the polar field and the double peaks/spikes in the next cycle. Thereby, this supports our theoretical idea that the fluctuations in the Babcock–Leighton process can be responsible for the double peaks/spikes in the observed solar cycle.
Simulated Encounters of the Parker Solar Probe with a Coronal-hole Jet

Published: October 2018

Abstract
Solar coronal jets are small, transient, collimated ejections most easily observed in coronal holes (CHs). The upcoming Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission provides the first opportunity to encounter CH jets in situ near the Sun and examine their internal structure and dynamics. Using projected mission orbital parameters, we have simulated PSP encounters with a fully three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of a CH jet. We find that three internal jet regions, featuring different wave modes and levels of compressibility, have distinct identifying signatures detectable by PSP. The leading Alfvén wave front and its immediate wake are characterized by trans-Alfvénic plasma flows with mild density enhancements. This front exhibits characteristics of a fast switch-on MHD shock, whose arrival is signaled by the sudden onset of large-amplitude transverse velocity and magnetic-field oscillations highly correlated in space and time. The trailing portion is characterized by supersonic but sub-Alfvénic outflows of dense plasma with uncorrelated velocity and magnetic-field oscillations. This compressible region contains most of the jet’s mass. The volume between the immediate wake and dense jet, the remote wake, mixes and transitions the characteristics of the two other regions. In addition to probing each region separately, we also simulate a corotational PSP-jet encounter. In this scenario, the simulated spacecraft hovers over the jet-producing CH, as may occur during the mission’s corotational phases, sampling each jet region in turn. We estimate that PSP will encounter numerous CH jets over the lifetime of the mission.

Abstract
Protons (ionized hydrogen) in the solar wind frequently exhibit distinct temperatures (T
⊥p and T
∥p) perpendicular and parallel to the plasma’s background magnetic field. Numerous prior studies of the interplanetary solar wind have shown that, as proton beta (β
∥p) increases, a narrower range of proton temperature anisotropy (R
p ≡ T
⊥p/T
∥p) values is observed. Conventionally, this effect has been ascribed to the actions of kinetic microinstabilities. This study is the first to use data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission to explore such β
∥p-dependent limits on R
p in Earth’s magnetosheath. The distribution of these data across the (β
∥p, R
p)-plane reveals limits on both R
p > 1 and R
p < 1. Linear Vlasov theory is used to compute contours of constant growth rate for the ion–cyclotron, mirror, parallel-firehose, and oblique-firehose instabilities. These instability thresholds closely align with the contours of the data distribution, which is consistent with these instabilities acting to limit extremes of proton temperature anisotropy in the magnetosheath.
The Study of a System of H ii Regions toward L = 24.°8, B = 0.°1 at the Galactic Bar: Norma Arm Interface

Published: October 2018

Abstract
To probe the star formation process, we present a thorough multiwavelength investigation of several H ii regions located toward l = 24.°8, b = 0.°1. A system of at least five H ii regions, including the mid-infrared bubble N36 (hereafter system N36; extension ∼35 pc), is observationally investigated and is located at a distance of 6.0 kpc. With this distance, the system N36 is found to be situated at the interface of the Galactic bar and the Norma Galactic arm in our Galaxy, where one may expect the collisions of molecular clouds due to the bar potential. Each H ii region (dynamical age ∼0.4–1.3 Myr) in the system is powered by an O-type star. The system contains 27 ATLASGAL dust clumps at 870 μm. Several clumps are massive (>103
M
⊙) and have high bolometric luminosity (>103
L
⊙). Using the GRS 13CO line data, in the direction of the system N36, two velocity components are found around 109 and 113 km s−1 and are linked in the velocity space. The morphological analysis of 13CO favors the presence of interacting molecular clouds in the system. Four H ii regions and two 6.7 GHz masers are spatially observed at the common areas of the two clouds. The analysis of the Spitzer photometric data also traces the noticeable star formation activity in the system. Considering the observational outcomes, the formation of O-type stars (including ongoing star formation) in the system appears to be triggered by the collisions of molecular clouds at the bar–arm interface.
Quadriceps Function and Patient-Reported Outcomes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Patients With or Without Knee Osteoarthritis
Authors: Norte Grant E. , Hertel Jay , Saliba Susan A , Diduch David R. , Hart Joseph M. 
Published: October 2018

Context
Relationships between quadriceps function and patient-reported outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are variable and may be confounded by including patients at widely different time points after surgery. Understanding these relationships during the clinically relevant phases of recovery may improve our knowledge of specific factors that influence clinical outcomes.

Objective
To identify the relationships between quadriceps function and patient-reported outcomes in patients &lt;2 years (early) and &gt;2 years (late) after ACLR, including those with posttraumatic knee osteoarthritis.

Design
Cross-sectional study.

Setting
Laboratory.

Patients or Other Participants
A total of 72 patients after ACLR: early (n = 34, time from surgery = 9.0 ± 4.3 months), late (n = 30, time from surgery = 70.5 ± 41.6 months), or osteoarthritis (n = 8, time from surgery = 115.9 ± 110.0 months).

Main Outcome Measure(s)
The total Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey (VR-12) were used to quantify knee function and global health. Predictors of patient-reported outcomes were involved-limb and symmetry indices of quadriceps function (isokinetic strength [peak torque, total work, average power], maximum voluntary isometric contraction torque, fatigue index, central activation ratio, Hoffmann reflex, active motor threshold) and demographics (age, activity level, pain, kinesiophobia, time since surgery). Multiple linear regression analyses were used to predict KOOS and VR-12 scores in each group.

Results
In the early patients, knee-extensor work, active motor threshold symmetry, pain, and activity level explained 67.8% of the variance in the KOOS score (P &lt; .001); knee-extensor work, activity level, and pain explained 53.0% of the variance in the VR-12 score (P &lt; .001). In the late patients, age and isokinetic torque symmetry explained 28.9% of the variance in the KOOS score (P = .004). In the osteoarthritis patients, kinesiophobia and isokinetic torque explained 77.8% of the variance in the KOOS score (P = .010); activity level explained 86.4% of the variance in the VR-12 score (P = .001).

Conclusions
Factors of muscle function and demographics that explain patient-reported outcomes were different in patients early and late after ACLR and in those with knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Background: Modified 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin/irinotecan (mFOLFIRI) is a commonly used combination second-line chemotherapeutic regimen in advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Materials and Methods: Patients diagnosed with AGC, receiving biweekly mFOLFIRI between July 2013 and June 2016, as second-line chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed for tolerance, prognostic factors, event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: Overall, 91 patients were administered a median of 6 cycles of therapy. Response rate was 29.7% and clinical benefit rate was 57.2%. With a median follow-up of 11.5 months, median EFS was 3.98 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.54–5.41) and median OS was 7.73 months (95% CI: 5.30–10.15). Common Grade 3 and Grade 4 adverse events were neutropenia (18.7%), febrile neutropenia (9.9%), thrombocytopenia (7.7%), and vomiting (4.4%). Nearly 33% of patients required dose modification during therapy. Conclusions: mFOLFIRI regimen as a second-line therapy in AGCs appears feasible and efficacious in clinical practice.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT2-amino-1,3-propandiol (serinol) was used as the starting building block of synthetic pathways that led to the preparation of innovative chemicals suitable as ingredients for rubber compounds. Serinol based reactions were performed in the frame of a sustainable process, in the absence of any solvent and catalyst, with aldehydes and ketones, such as acetone, cinnamaldehyde and camphor. The synthesis of either imines or oxazolidines was obtained with high selectivity. Serinol, imine and oxazolidine derivatives of serinol were used as accelerator for the vulcanization of diene rubbers. They were proved to be efficient secondary accelerators in silica based compounds based on poly(styrene-co-butadiene) in place of diphenyl guanidine. The kinetics of vulcanization was investigated for natural rubber based compounds in the absence of any filler. With respect to serinol, the imine derivatives were able to enhance the induction time of vulcanization and to afford a similar vulcanization rate.
The Historian and the Miraculous
Authors: Twelftree Graham H. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Defining a miracle as a rare or unique event that appears to contravene so-called natural laws or what we could expect possible, and is possibly the result of a basic act of God, the major part of this article takes into account points at which the historian is challenged by the problem of miracle. The final section of the article faces the question of the historian’s ability to identify supernatural agency. It is argued that a positive case for identifying special divine action can be made on the grounds that an otherwise impossible event is credibly associated with God—either through a religiously charged event such as prayer or because it appears to reflect the character of God or is consistent with other events already judged to be the result of special divine action.
What Does It Mean to Cast a Mountain into the Sea? Another Look at Mark 11:23
Authors: Ortlund Dane C. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Jesus’s words about casting a mountain into the sea in Mark 11:23 are initially perplexing and most often taken to be hyperbole. When read through the hermeneutical lens of inaugurated eschatology, however, and mindful of what the “mountain” and the “sea” often represented throughout the OT, it becomes clear that Jesus is doing something deeper than merely calling for great faith. He is quietly, allusively speaking of the destruction and judgment (connoted by the sea) of the temple (connoted by the mountain) to say that he is the true and final temple. In him, all that was accomplished in the temple (forgiveness) is truly accomplished. This reading is strengthened in various ways by the immediate context, not least by elucidating how Jesus can speak of already having received what one asks for in prayer (11:24). Jesus’s words in Mark 11:23 are therefore about an accomplished reality (forgiveness), not a future reality (moving figurative “mountains” through great faith).
