KAJIAN PENGARUH PEMBANGUNAN JALAN TOL SEMARANG - DEMAK TERHADAP KINERJA JALAN RAYA KALIGAWE

The increasing movement causes traffic jams. One of the congestion occurred on Jalan Raya Kaligawe, Semarang. Jalan Raya Kaligawe is a road located close to the coast. So that when the sea water experiences high tide, the road will be inundated by tidal floods. This condition results in very high traffic jams every year. To deal with congestion and overcome the problem of sea water flooding, the government plans to build the Semarang - Demak Toll Road. With the existence of this Toll Road, it is hoped that congestion on the Kaligawe Road will be reduced. But the reduction in congestion needs research. So the researchers conducted a study on the effect of the construction of the Semarang - Demak Toll Road on the performance of the Kaligawe Highway. The purpose of this study, among others, is to determine the level of service, prediction of the diversion of traffic loads and predictions of increasing work on Jalan Raya Kaligawe. This study uses three stages in the research method, namely the identification stage, the data collection and processing stage, and the analysis and conclusion stages. The analysis technique used in this research is the formulation of traffic loading around the location due to development, both at the time and post, added with base traffic to get a real loading on the area of influence with the construction of the Semarang - Demak toll road.

Biometric Authentication Using Finger-Vein Patterns with Deep-Learning and Discriminant Correlation Analysis

Finger-vein identification, a biometric technology that uses vein patterns in the human finger to identify people. In recent years, it has received increasing attention due to its tremendous advantages compared to fingerprint characteristics. Moreover, Deep-Convolutional Neural Networks (Deep-CNN) appeared to be highly successful for feature extraction in the finger-vein area, and most of the proposed works focus on new Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models, which require huge databases for training, a solution that may be more practicable in real world applications, is to reuse pretrained Deep-CNN models. In this paper, a finger-vein identification system is proposed, which uses Squeezenet pretrained Deep-CNN model as feature extractor from the left and the right finger vein patterns. Then, combines this Deep-based features by using a feature-level Discriminant Correlation Analysis (DCA) to reduce feature dimensions and to give the most relevant features. Finally, these composite feature vectors are used as input data for a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier, in an identification stage. This method is tested on two widely available finger vein databases, namely SDUMLA-HMT and FV-USM. Experimental results show that the proposed finger vein identification system achieves significant high mean accuracy rates.

Actives from MMV Open Access Boxes? A suggested way forward

It is estimated that more than 1 billion people across the world are affected by a neglected tropical disease (NTD) that requires medical intervention. These diseases tend to afflict people in areas with high rates of poverty and cost economies billions of dollars every year. Collaborative drug discovery efforts are required to reduce the burden of these diseases in endemic regions. The release of “Open Access Boxes” is an initiative launched by Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) in collaboration with its partners to catalyze new drug discovery in neglected diseases. These boxes are mainly requested by biology researchers across the globe who may not otherwise have access to compounds to screen nor knowledge of the workflow that needs to be followed after identification of actives from their screening campaigns. Here, we present guidelines on how to move such actives beyond the hit identification stage, to help in capacity strengthening and enable a greater impact of the initiative.

Phytoplankton community as bioindicators in aquaculture media Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) exposed to detergent and pesticide waste

Phytoplankton is a bio-indicator of fertility in waters. This study aims to determine the impact of detergent and pesticide waste on the phytoplankton community structure in in tilapia aquaculture media. The phytoplankton identification stage was carried out at the MIPA Laboratory Almuslim University. The parameters studied were phytoplankton abundance, diversity index, uniformity index, dominance index, and water quality parameters. The results of this study showed that detergent and pesticide waste at the end of the study had caused a decrease in the abundance value of phytoplankton by 3,250 individual/L and 3,750 individual/L. In the control treatment, the highest phytoplankton composition was dominated by Chaetoceros sp., while the pesticide and detergent treatments were dominated by Golenkenia sp. and Microcystis sp. Exposure to detergent and pesticide waste reduced the diversity index value, the phytoplankton uniformity index value. At the beginning of the study, it has a moderate diversity index (H '= 2.485–3.072), while at the end of the study it shows low diversity (H' = 2.111–2.375). Furthermore, at the beginning and at the end of the study there was a decrease in the uniformity index value (E = 0.87–1.01) and (H '= 0.88–0.94).
