Ten (pair housed) female Long-Evans rats were exposed to 5 s, 30 s, and 90 s wheel-running reinforcement durations on a response-initiated variable interval 20 s schedule as food deprivation was manipulated. On free feeding, never-deprived rats showed low wheel running and lever-pressing rates with long postreinforcement pauses (PRPs) for the 5-s reinforcement duration. Subsequently, when food deprived (Deprived 1), rats showed no effect of reinforcement duration on all measures. Under a second deprived condition (Deprived 2) with the rats maintained in single cages, there was no effect of housing (single vs. paired). When data from both deprivation assessments (Deprived 1 and Deprived 2) were combined, rats showed lower wheel running and overall lever-pressing rates with longer pauses on the 90-s duration compared to 30 s and 5 s bouts of wheel activity. The pattern of results challenges a reinforcement value interpretation, but is consistent with shifts in the motivational basis of wheel running. On free feeding, never-deprived rats were intrinsically motivated to run on wheels and operant lever-pressing was maintained at moderate rates by the automatic reinforcement of wheel running, except at the short reinforcement duration (5 s). When food deprived, motivation became food-related and rats showed high rates of lever pressing even at the shortest duration. The weak effects under initial deprivation (Deprived 1) raise questions about equivalence between wheel-running reinforcement duration and reinforcement magnitude using food reinforcement.

 The existing square tower of intake has 1,397.57m3 volume and using shallow foundation Logung Dam with its weight stability will cause inefficient structures and potential to earthquake force effect. It is necessary to have an alternative planning of the intake tower. The authors intends to redesign the intake with morning glory type and used bored pile; to find out the position of intake tower, dimension, reinforcement, duration, cost estimate, and to compare the redesign.The required data were of topographic map, irrigation, and raw water discharge, bearing capacity, and work unit price analysis of project 2016. Manning Method was applied to find out the dimension; Shell Slab Method with Column Approach to calculate the structure of the intake tower, and Skempton Method to calculate bearing capacity. The redesign results in the position of ∅ 1.75-m intake tower on conduit channel with 728,08 m3 volume; the dominant load of  operational-earthquake combination with different values; D22-200 steel bar for y-direction, D19-150 for x-direction on conduit channel, D19-150 for x,y-direction on intake tower segment 1, D16-150 for x,y-direction on intake tower segment 2, and D13-150 for x,y-direction on intake tower segment 3; on 105 workdays; at  a total cost of IDR 2,327,806,700 with 40.64 % efficiency cost.
