Perhitungan Indeks Kondisi Bangunan dan Analisis Biaya Perbaikan Gedung Akademi Keperawatan Panti Rapih Pasca Gempa (Studi Kasus : Bencana Gempa 27 Mei 2006)

Earthquake disaster on May 27, 2006 has forced many buldings to terminate their service due to the severe damage the earthquake caused to the buildings components. Such damage requires renovation in order to restore the building performance and function. This research analyzed the renovation cost analysis for Panti Rapih Nursing Academy in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. This research related to building advisability after shaked by earthquacke based on the Condition Index. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used for the analysis. Based on this method, the building Condition Index depends on two parameters. The first parameter is building component and sub component weight. The second is the damage degree and quantity, which was obtained by onsite visual assessment. This research included the analysis of renovation cost completed with factors influencing the cost based on the degree of the damage. The renovation cost was calculated by multiplying unit cost and quantity of works, which was obtained from onsite results of the direct survey. The unit cost used refered to official cost in Regency of Sleman, Yogyakarta. Finally, the result obtained were then compared to the cost computed by contractor. Analysis results showed that the Condition Index of Nursing Academy Building was 93,5394%, which was within low damages category. In theory, the cost to restore the building Condition Index (back to 100%) was Rp. 73.160.000,00. This amount was lower than the real cost of Rp 97.680.000,00 calculated by the contractor. Such difference may be due to the different method used when calculating the quantity and unit cost of works

Ecological Energetics of an Abundant Aerial Insectivore, the Purple Martin

We thank T. Fagin for help with estimating the seasonal range area occupied by Purple Martins. We thank an anonymous reviewer, Mark Brigham, and J Boyles for their comments on this manuscript.Conceived and designed the experiments: JFK ESB WFF PBC. Performed the experiments: JFK PBC. Analyzed the data: JFK PBC. Wrote the manuscript: JFK ESB WFF PBC. Developed the model in Matlab: JFK PBC.The atmospheric boundary layer and lower free atmosphere, or aerosphere, is increasingly important for human transportation, communication, environmental monitoring, and energy production. The impacts of anthropogenic encroachment into aerial habitats are not well understood. Insectivorous birds and bats are inherently valuable components of biodiversity and play an integral role in aerial trophic dynamics. Many of these insectivores are experiencing range-wide population declines. As a first step toward gaging the potential impacts of these declines on the aerosphere’s trophic system, estimates of the biomass and energy consumed by aerial insectivores are needed. We developed a suite of energetics models for one of the largest and most common avian aerial insectivores in North America, the Purple Martin (Progne subis). The base model estimated that Purple Martins consumed 412 (± 104) billion insects*y-1 with a biomass of 115,860 (± 29,192) metric tonnes*y-1. During the breeding season Purple Martins consume 10.3 (+ 3.0) kg of prey biomass per km3 of aerial habitat, equal to about 36,000 individual insects*km-3. Based on these calculations, the cumulative seasonal consumption of insects*km-3 is greater in North America during the breeding season than during other phases of the annual cycle, however the maximum daily insect consumption*km-3 occurs during fall migration. This analysis provides the first range-wide quantitative estimate of the magnitude of the trophic impact of this large and common aerial insectivore. Future studies could use a similar modeling approach to estimate impacts of the entire guild of aerial insectivores at a variety of temporal and spatial scales. These analyses would inform our understanding of the impact of population declines among aerial insectivores on the aerosphere’s trophic dynamics.Yeshttp://www.plosone.org/static/editorial#pee
