Shaking test research on connection modes between block infill wall and frame beam

In order to achieve an optimal anti-seismic behavior,or rather stability,the out-of-plane stability of infill wall in frame has been researched with the shaking test of four sets of two-layer infill wall,in which four different connection modes of filled with inclined bricks on the top,disconnection,flexibility and semi-flexibility were adapted.The acceleration and displacement response of the specimens were analyzed under the seismic load.Also,some feasible connection modes were gained by comparing the response of infill walls.Finally,the calculation of earthquake of infill wall was held.The results showed that seismic responses of the infill walls whose connect with frame in form of flexibility and semi-flexibility modes are weaker than others obviously,and their integrality is better.Thus the conclusion could be drawn that out-of-plane stability of the specimens with connection modes of flexibility and semi-flexibility are better than those with the connection modes of filled with inclined bricks on the top and disconnection.The research results can provide evidence for establishing specifications and directing the construction and therefore help reduce the casualties and property loss caused by earthquake disasters.

Lobster Fishery Connectivity and Management In Indonesia Waters

The distribution of lobsters in Indonesian waters is very wide,even lobster species in Indonesia are also scattered in the tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean,the Indian Ocean,Africa to Japanese waters.Indonesian waters are divided into 11(eleven)Fishery Management Zone(FMZ).Lobsters in Indonesia may come from various water areas,both national and regional water zones,and they’re called the sink population.Its spread is influenced by the movement of the current.Lobster seed is nurtured by nature through ocean currents from Australia,East Indonesia,Japan,then back to Australia.Lobsters have a complex life cycle,where adult lobsters inhabit coral reefs as a place to lay eggs,then hatch into planktonic larvae,and grow up in open seas and carry out diurnal and ontogenetic vertical migrations before returning to nurseries in shallow coastal areas and reefs,coral,as well as habitat by the type of species.Literature research had used at least two methodologies to estimate the distribution and connection sensitivity matrices of marine organism larvae.The two most common approaches are using genetic markers and numerical biophysical modeling.Thus,this research uses molecular genetic techniques to explain the ge­netic structure of lobster populations using a biophysical model approach that can explain the genetic structure of lobsters,as well as the distribution based on regional oceanographic synthesis data and lobster biology known in Indonesian waters.This model has four components,namely:1)a ben­thic module based on a Geographical Information System(GIS)which is a lobster habitat in the spawning and recruitment process,2)a physical oceanography module containing daily velocity in the form of a three-di­mensional hydrodynamic model,3)a larva biology module that describes larval life history characteristics,and 4)a Lagrangian Stochastic module that tracks the individual trajectories of larvae.
