Feasibility Of One–Dedicated–Lane Bus Rapid Transit ⁄Light–Rail Systems And Their Expansion To Two–Dedicated–Lane Systems: A Focus On Geometric Configuration And Performance Planning, MTI Report 08-01

This report consists primarily of two parts, the first on feasibility and the next on space minimization. In the section on feasibility, we propose the concept of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) or light–rail system that effectively requires only one dedicated but reversible lane throughout the system to support two-way traffic in the median of a busy commute corridor with regular provision of left–turn lanes. Based on key ideas proposed in that section, the section on space minimization first addresses how to implement a two–dedicated–lane BRT or light–rail system with minimum right–of–way width and then proposes ways to expand a one–dedicated–lane system to two dedicated lanes. In a one–dedicated–lane system, traffic crossing is accommodated on the otherwise unused or underused median space resulting from provision of the left–turn lanes. Although not necessary, some left–turn lanes can be sacrificed for bus stops. Conceptual design options and geometric configuration sketches for the bus stop and crossing space are provided in the section on feasibility, which also discusses system performance in terms of travel speed, headway of operations, distance between two neighboring crossing spaces, and number of crossing spaces. To ensure practicality, we study implementation of such a system on an existing corridor. Such a system is also useful as an intermediate step toward a two–dedicated–lane system because of its potential for facilitating transit–oriented development. In typical existing or planned BRT or light–rail systems implemented with two dedicated traffic lanes, a space equivalent to four traffic lanes is dedicated for a bus stop. In the section on space minimization, we propose implementations requiring only three lanes at a bus stop, based on two key ideas proposed for a one–dedicated–lane system. That section also discusses ways to expand a one–dedicated–lane system to its corresponding two–dedicated–lane system

Freshwater Fishes Of Manggarai Flores, With The Various Limnology Aspect (Jenis Ikan Air Tawar dari Manggarai, Flores, dengan Variasi Aspek Limnologinya)

The diversity of freshwater fishes on Manggarai, Flores Island is very poor. The result of first time exploration in 1994, there were Seventeen species fishes collected of 8 families, including 4 new record species, 4 introduce species from 21 sample sites, 18 rivers and 3 lakes. On a one month expedition in 1994 . The dominan family of fishes is Gobiidae. Habitat types are very variation, the reverine site is consisted of 18 rivers and 3 lakes, habitat types are consisted of 7 types. The habitat 2 is the most habitat type found. The characteristic of this habitat type is: Bottom: sand with large stones and pebbles, water is very clear, rapid current, pH: 3.91 - 8.51, conductivity: 20 - 186 u S/cm, and temperature during day light was 19 - 25.7 ° celcius. surrounded by primary forest,

Servqual Dan Importance-performance Analysis Untuk Perguruan Tinggi

When student do not focus solely on academic quality but focus on service quality too. It is essential for student perception of service quality to be evaluated and managed by the university. We can employ SERVQUAI and Important Performance Analysis methods to know the quality of service of the university. The information that result from application of these methods are very important for the university to improve the quality of service and what attribute should be concentrate to improve

Hubungan antara Persepsi dan Sikap Siswa terhadap Bimbingan dan Konseling dengan Minat Siswa untuk Memanfaatkan Layanan Bimbingan dan Konseling

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara persepsi dan sikap siswa terhadap bimbingan dan konseling dengan minat siswa memanfaatkan layanan bimbingan dan konseling. Penelitan ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendekatan korelasional dan metode analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah korelasi ganda. Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel berjumlah 277 siswa. Dari hasil penelitian menerangkan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan antara persepsi siswa terhadap bimbingan dan konseling dengan minat siswa memanfaatkan layanan bimbingan dan konseling karena r tabel (5%=0,138) ≤ (r empirik 0,791) ≥ r tabel (1%=0,181) dan ada hubungan yang signifikan antara sikap siswa terhadap bimbingan dan konseling dengan minat siswa memanfaatkan layanan bimbingan dan konseling karena r tabel (5%=0,138) ≤ (r empirik 0,773) ≥ r tabel (1%=0,181) dan ada hubungan yang signifikan antara persepsi dan sikap siswa terhadap bimbingan dan konseling dengan minat siswa memanfaatkan layanan bimbingan dan konseling karena harga F empirik terbukti lebih besar daripada F teoritik baik pada taraf 5% yaitu 253,8 ≥ 3.03 maupun pada taraf 1% yaitu 253,8 ≥ 4,68. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara persepsi dan sikap siswa terhadap bimbingan dan konseling dengan minat siswa memanfaatkan layanan bimbingan dan konseling   Kata Kunci : Persepsi siswa terhadap bimbingan dan konseling, sikap siswa terhadap bimbingan dan konseling, minat siswa memanfaatkan layanan bimbingan dan konselin
