Abstract:

SAŽETAK: Ideja o mogućnosti sprečavanja svih vrsta nesreća, pa tako i onih povezanih s radom naziva se Vizija nula nesreća (Zero accident vision/ZAV). ZAV promovira prihvaćanje visokih standarda kulture sigurnosti i predstavlja dugoročno putovanje prema prevenciji nesreća u svim područjima rada, ali i šire. Cilj ZAV-a je potaknuti sve članove neke organizacije na razmišljanje i ponašanje koji podupire koncept prevencije. Ovo istraživanje prikazuje teoretsku pozadinu na kojoj se Vizija nula nesreća temelji i čimbenike koji pridonose uspješnoj implementaciji koncepta u tvrtkama, posebice predanost tvrtke ZAV konceptu, komuniciranje koncepta unutar tvrtke, kulture sigurnosti, učenja iz neželjenih događaja i spremnosti na neočekivane događaje. U radu su prikazani rezultati istraživanja zastupljenosti ZAV-a u Hrvatskoj u 4 proizvodne tvrtke te usporedba s rezultatima istraživanja provedenog u 7 zemalja EU-a, a u sklopu projekta Zero accident research project PEROSH grupe.

Abstract:

Research on measuring support for Latino issues in Congress has found that party affiliation is the primary influence on the level of support. The research also demonstrates that under certain scenarios, Latino representatives do provide more substantive Latino representation than do non-Latino representatives. The purpose of this project is to re-evaluate these earlier findings using more recent data in a changed political context. In addition, the project will examine the effects that different types of Democrats have on Latino representation. The findings suggest that when it comes to support for Latino issues, there are differences between the parties, and within the Democratic Party. An unexpected source of Latino representation, members of the Congressional Black Caucus, is also revealed in the findings.

Abstract:

Frizeri su prepoznati kao zanimanje koje uključuje značajne zdravstvene rizike, ponajviše za kožu. Od 2010. do 2012. provodio se EU-ov projekt SafeHair s ciljem razvoja zdravstvenih standarda i standarda mjera zaštite na radu za sprečavanje profesionalnih kožnih bolesti u frizerstvu, u kojem su sudjelovali i suradnici iz Hrvatske. Cilj je ovog rada utvrditi trenutačno stanje zaštite kože na radu hrvatskih frizera. Prikupljanje podataka provedeno je ispunjavanjem EvaHair upitnika, koji je sastavljen u sklopu projekta SafeHair. Analizirano je ukupno 213 upitnika. Među ispitanicima je bilo 133 (64 %) vlasnika salona, 46 (22 %) zaposlenika te 31 (14 %) frizerski učenik. Trideset šest (17 %) ispitanika potvrdilo je da je u protekle tri godine u njihovu salonu bilo slučajeva kožnih tegoba, a gotovo svi ispitanici (98 %) smatraju da je prevencija profesionalnih kožnih bolesti vrlo važna. Utvrđen je velik udio (40 % do 50 %) neodgovorenih pitanja o provođenju procjene opasnosti. Rukavice se najviše koriste prilikom tretiranja kose kemikalijama (88 %), a rijetko se koriste prilikom pranja kose (13 %). Iako su dostupne većini ispitanika (95 %), njih 32 % iskazalo je da ima problema s nošenjem rukavica, većinom zato što ograničavaju osjet opipa. Frizeri s >30 godina radnog staža značajno češće koriste rukavice pri pranju i šišanju kose u usporedbi s frizerima s <30 godina radnog staža (P<0,05). Obuka frizera o zaštiti kože češće je zastupljena (39 %) od obuke o zaštiti dišnih putova (15 %) te mišića i zglobova (18 %). Najviše ispitanika iskazalo je potrebu za pomoći pri korištenju zakona i informiranju o proizvodima (57 %) te obavljanju procjene opasnosti (49 %). Rezultati upućuju na potrebu daljnjeg rada na edukaciji frizera o zdravstvenim rizicima njihova radnog mjesta te o mjerama zaštite na radu i njihovoj implementaciji. Edukaciju iz područja zaštite na radu te primjenu mjera zaštite na radu potrebno je provoditi tijekom redovitog školovanja i u obliku trajne edukacije frizera.

Abstract:

The U antigen (MNS5) is one of 49 antigens belonging to the MNS blood group system (ISBT002) carried on glycophorins A (GPA) and B (GPB). U is present on the red blood cells in almost all Europeans and Asians but absent in approximately 1.0% of Black Africans. U negativity coincides with negativity for S (MNS3) and s (MNS4) on GPB, thus be called S–s–U–, and is thought to arise from homozygous deletion of GYPB. Little is known about the molecular background of these deletions. Bioinformatic analysis of the 1000 Genomes Project data revealed several candidate regions with apparent deletions in GYPB. Highly specific Gap-PCRs, only resulting in positive amplification from DNAs with deletions present, allowed for the exact genetic localization of 3 different breakpoints; 110.24- and 103.26-kb deletions were proven to be the most frequent in Black Americans and Africans. Among 157 CEPH DNAs, deletions in 6 out of 8 African ethnicities were present. Allele frequencies of the deletions within African ethnicities varied greatly and reached a cumulative 23.3% among the Mbuti Pygmy people from the Congo. Similar observations were made for U+var alleles, known to cause strongly reduced GPB expression. The 110- and 103-kb deletional GYPB haplotypes were found to represent the most prevalent hereditary factors causative of the MNS blood group phenotype S–s–U–. Respective GYPB deletions are now accessible by molecular detection of homo- and hemizygous transmission.

Abstract:

Large sites with a low contamination of metall(oid)s were in the past a problem for remediation measures – the “traditional” processes were too expensive for an application on such expanded areas. Phytoremediation can be an alternative for such low contamination problems. In Germany, a research project is performed on this subject, in cooperation of the University of Jena and the TU Dresden. The field site is a former U mining area. Until 1991, a low grade U ore dump for sulfuric acid leaching was located on this site. After the close-down of the U mining in East Germany in 1991, the dump material was removed. Now, a phytoremediation test field is constructed on top of this site for the capture of the remained contaminants coming up by capillary forces. The paper pictures the phytoremediation in general, the research project and gives some first preliminary results.

Abstract:

Summary Background. Elevated von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a risk factor in the development of acute myocardial infarction. The importance of vWF and factor VIII :C in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is poorly defined. Methods and results. We studied 208 cases of stroke whose pathological type was defined by cranial computed tomography. Cerebral infarcts were grouped according to the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP) clinical classification. The results in patients were compared with 184 healthy reference subjects. In patients, vWF and FVIII: C levels were determined initially and after three months. Patients were followed prospectively for six months or until death.Levels of vWF and FVIII :C were elevated initially (1.86 IU/ml and 2.20 U/ml respectively) and after 3 months (1.51 IU/ml and 1.90 U/ml) compared with a healthy reference population (1.26 IU/ml and 1.49 U/ml p = 0.0001). In the initial sample, vWF was associated with age (p = 0.01). FVIII: C was related to age (p = 0.04), gender (p = 0.007 higher for females) and a history of diabetes mellitus (2.56 U/ml vs. 2.16 U/ml in non-diabetics, p = 0.008).Initial vWF levels were higher in subjects with large vessel disease (TACI/PACI) group compared with the small vessel disease (LACI) group [2.12 IU/ml, (n = 112) vs. 1.48 IU/ml (n = 59) respectively, p = 0.0001] and similarly in initial FVIII :C levels (2.43 U/ml vs. 1.87 U/ml, p = 0.0001).Analysis of six-month case fatality, vWF levels were associated with risk of death [p = 0.01, OR 1.73 (1.12,2.66) for an increase of 1 U/ml], even after allowing for stroke type. Conclusion. The relationship of vWF with stroke mortality has not previously been described. Although we have not demonstrated a causal role for vWF in the pathogenesis of CVD, elevated circulating levels of vWF may be associated with increased risk of death following stroke. A prospective study would be required to establish whether vWF is predictive for the development of CVD.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In June of 2000, U. S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office (MSO) San Juan conducted the Annual Abandoned Vessel Inventory and noticed an abandoned vessel grounded on a beach in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. Personal investigation revealed that the vessel held approximately 5,000 gallons of waste oil in the engine room, posing a pollution threat to the local public. In a thorough attempt to identify the owner, the MSO used the knowledge of local fishermen, the marine police and Department of Natural Resource. When the owner could not be identified, the Captain of the Port decided to use the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund to remove the threat of an oil discharge. Upon discovering that five marine batteries and filters had been hidden on board the vessel, it was determined that it was likely being used as a waste dumpsite. If it was indeed a dumpsite, the Coast Guard would then take control of the vessel, initiate salvage operations, and remove it from its location. Local contractors were hired in the first successful oil removal attempt, lasting two days. In April of 2001, the re-assessment was conducted and an additional 5,000 gallons of waste oil was again discovered on the vessel, confirming the belief that it was a dumpsite. A more in depth assessment was conducted, and another 10,000 gallons of fuel oil was discovered in the wing tanks. The second project commenced with a local environmental contractor hired to remove the 15,000 gallons of oil. Then a salvage contractor was hired to mechanically cut the vessel into scrap for disposal. During this time over 300 lbs. of commercial grade C-4 explosives and detonation cord were discovered in a hidden compartment in the aft end of the vessel. The total cost to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund was approximately $700,000.00 and over 2,000 man-hours were spent to complete the project. This three month long abandoned vessel removal is considered an important success for several reasons. Not only did the Coast Guard remove a major pollution threat from the environment, but the municipality has also renovated the beachfront area and installed a boardwalk for public access.

Abstract:

This thesis includes a study of the chosen area in the town of Týn nad Vltavou from the point of view of barrierless conception. I monitored the starting state in this area and I compared it with all valid legal regulations and norms. I pointed out the weaknesses of the starting state in this area. The complex barrierless area could be established by removing these weaknesses. This new area could be open not only to healthy people but also to people with limited ability of movement and orientation. I determined the order of the changes urgency. This means which elements should be reconstructed and modified to the barrierless state as soon as possible. I was interested in the state of the footpaths, crossings for the people, car-parks, staircases and other elements. I was also interested in the accessibility of civil facilities {--} the medical centre, the pharmacy, the town laundry, the building with care service and the post office. I chose one part of the footpath for the technical solution. The barrierless solution is missing in this part of the footpath. I elaborated project documentation for this part of the footpath needed for granting the building permission because the footpath is situated in the direct proximity of citizens´ residences and infrastructure network leads through this footpath. The drawings have been processed by visualization cad application. This diploma thesis also contains the list of the valid legal regulations and publications which deal with the problems of the barrierless areas.

It employs examples of specific frameworks and strategies used in simSchool, a research and development project supported by two programs of the U. S. Department of Education: Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technology (2004-2006), and currently, the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (2006-2009). The chapter assumes that a complex system simulation engine and representation is needed in teaching simulations because teaching and learning are complex phenomena. The chapter’s two goals are to introduce core ideas of complex systems and to illustrate with examples from simSchool, a simulation of teaching and learning.

Abstract:

Spatial reasoning is a critical component of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) educational and occupational innovation and expertise and should be an integral part of any mathematics curriculum. However, in the United States, it is often neglected. Spatial ability was once believed to be a fixed trait, but there is now widespread evidence that it can and should be recognized and developed beginning at very early ages and continuing throughout the educational system. The U. S. National Science Foundation-funded Project M2: Mentoring Young Mathematicians for students in kindergarten through second grade is one example of a proven program for the development of children’s spatial thinking. In spite of at least sixty years of research in this area, much remains to be done. Key words: spatial reasoning, mathematics, gifted, exceptional promise, STEAM, innovation

"Both opponents and proponents of food irradiation have been sources of misinformation or valid information presented in a misleading way (20). As described by a leading British consumer representative: “ The battle to get irradiation of food accepted as a beneficial food processing technique has been waged for some 30 years. It is an interesting case of warring factions glaring at each other across a gulf of incomprehension” ( ). In this book an attempt will be made to provide factual data as a basis for a more rational approach to these controversies. The seminar jointly held by IOCU (International Organization of Consumer Unions) and ICGFI (International Con sultative Group on Food Irradiation) in 1993 (22) has raised hopes that this gulf of incomprehension can be narrowed, perhaps even closed. There is voluminous scientific literature on food irradiation, but it is not easy to come by because contributions have come from so many disciplines. Relevant reports have been published in journals of food technology, nutrition, microbiol ogy, analytical chemistry, food chemistry, radiation chemistry, radiation physics, toxicology, health physics, and other fields. There is only one scientific journal devoted exclusively to food irradiation research: Shokuhin-Shosha (Food Irradia tion, Japan), published by the Japanese Research Association for Food Irradiation since 1965; articles are in Japanese, with English abstracts. In order to facilitate access to this literature a computerized irradiation information database called IRREFCO (Irradiation Reference Collection) has been installed at the National Agricultural Library in the United States. It is initially aimed at making available the research contract reports generated in programs sponsored by the U. S. Army and U. S. Atomic Energy Commission in the 1950s and 1960s. Those reports are not accessible through ordinary library services. A selected annotated bibliogra phy is offered since 1993 (23). A bibliography on food irradiation has been prepared since 1955 by the Federal Research Center for Nutrition, Karlsruhe, Germany; it now contains over 10,000 documents. The whole database is pro cessed and stored on computer, and is also available in printed form. In recent years one issue of the printed bibliography has been published annually, each with 300-600 references (24). In the following chapters only a small fraction of these documents can be mentioned. The author endeavors to quote primarily those studies that will guide the reader to key issues, to review articles, and to other works showing a path to the remaining literature. Useful documentation of developments in food irradiation research can be found in three newsletters. Food Irradiation Quarterly International Newsletter (Saclay) was published in English and French by the European Information Center for Food Irradiation, Saclay, France, from 1960 to 1971. The International Project in the Field of Food Irradiation issued Food Irradiation Information (Karlsruhe) from 1972 until 1982. The Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, International Atomic Energy Agency, has Published Food Irradiation Newsletter (Vienna) since 1976." In Safety of Irradiated Foods, 24–26. CRC Press, 1995. http://dx.doi.org/10.1201/9781482273168-18.

Abstract:

This paper will discuss the application of verification and validation (V&V) on both private and US government sponsored projects. Application of V&V for business and legal purposes is very tightly defined when executing a project compared to the open ended research of V&V performed in national laboratories and academia. Major purchases on the order of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars depend upon an accurate V&V if the calculation supporting the purchase involves a simulated solution or design. Examples of application will be given to illustrate the use of V&V within projects. The examples will motivate a discussion on the future needs and directions of the business industry from the larger V&V community. It is hoped that this discussion will promote greater interaction between the national labs, academia and business to help develop methodologies, consistencies and directions of effort that will support execution of the V&V process in the business sector.

Abstract:

An undergraduate gas turbine laboratory facility was designed and installed by four senior Mechanical Engineering students for their capstone design project at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy. The seniors instrumented a 65 horsepower gas turbine auxiliary power unit from an HH-3F Pelican helicopter and installed it in the existing engine laboratory. The objective of this project was to provide an opportunity for engineering students to better understand thermodynamic principles of gas turbine operation through hands-on experimentation. The laboratory facility was designed to allow students to determine the performance characteristics of the T-62-16B gas turbine and relate them to a Brayton cycle model. This paper details the installation and instrumentation of the gas turbine, the design of the data acquisition system, the results obtained with initial system tests, and future experimental plans.

Abstract:

The United States Department of Energy is promoting the resurgence of nuclear power in the U. S. for both electrical power generation and production of process heat required for industrial processes such as the manufacture of hydrogen for use as a fuel in automobiles. The DOE project is called the next generation nuclear plant (NGNP) and is based on a Generation IV reactor concept called the very high temperature reactor (VHTR), which will use helium as the coolant at temperatures ranging from 450 °C to perhaps 1000 °C. While computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has not been used for past safety analysis for nuclear reactors in the U. S., it is being considered for safety analysis for existing and future reactors. It is fully recognized that CFD simulation codes will have to be validated for flow physics reasonably close to actual fluid dynamic conditions expected in normal and accident operational situations. To this end, experimental data have been obtained in a scaled model of a narrow slice of the lower plenum of a prismatic VHTR. The present article presents new results of CFD examinations of these data to explore potential issues with the geometry, the initial conditions, the flow dynamics and the data needed to fully specify the inlet and boundary conditions; results for several turbulence models are examined. Issues are addressed and recommendations about the data are made.

Abstract:

The Minnesota Valley Alfalfa Producers (MnVAP), a farmer owned cooperative, is developing a 75 MW combined cycle power plant integrated with alfalfa processiag facilities in southwestern Minnesota. The Minnesota Agri-Power (MAP) project is supported by the U. S. Department of Energy and a project development team that includes Stone & Webster, the University of Minnesota, United Power Association, Carbona Corporation/Kvaerner Pulping Inc. and Westinghouse. Alfalfa processing facilities separate the fibrous stem material from the protein-rich leaf fraction. The resulting alfalfa leaf meal (ALM) is further processed into a variety of valuable livestock feed products. Alfalfa stem material is gasified using air-blown fluidized bed technology to produce a hot, clean, fuel gas. The fuel gas is fired in a combustion turbine and the exhaust heat is used to produce steam to power a steam turbine. At base load, the electric power plant will consume 1000 tons per day of biomass fuel. This paper briefly describes the project development activities of the alfalfa feed trials and the combined cycle power plant. This commercial scale demonstration represents an important milestone on a continuing pathway towards environmentally and economically sustainable energy systems.

Full text

Abstract:

The Department of Energy (DOE) has been shipping university reactor fuels and other fissile materials in the 110-gallon Department of Transportation (DOT) Specification 6M container for over 20 years. The DOT 6M container has been the workhorse for many DOE programs. However, packages designed and used according to the Specification 6M (U. S. Code of Federal Regulations, 49 CFR 178.354; 2003) do not conform to the latest package safety requirements in 10 CFR 71, especially performance under hypothetical accident conditions. For that reason, the 6M specification containers are being terminated by the DOT. Packages designed to the 6M specification will no longer be allowed for in-commerce shipments after October 1, 2008. To meet on-going transportation needs, DOE evaluated several different concepts for replacing the 110-gallon 6M. After this evaluation, DOE selected the Y-12 National Security Complex for the project. The new Y-12 container, designated the ES-4100 shipping container, will have a capacity of four times the current 6M and will be certified by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The ES-4100 project began in September 2006 and prototypes of the new container are now being fabricated. Details on the design features and the upcoming regulatory testing of this new container are discussed in this paper.

Full text

Abstract:

The integration of a fuel cell and a gas turbine is a natural evolution in the quest for improved generation efficiency with clean emissions. Integration is achieved by using the gas turbine compressor as the air mover for the fuel cell, and using the high temperature exhaust of the fuel cell to supplant the gas turbine combustor. Edison Technology Solutions (ETS), the California Energy Commission, the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE), and Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation are jointly sponsoring a project to design and fabricate a hybrid cycle power system that couples a Pressurized Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) generator module with a Micro Turbine Generator (MTG), to yield a system with a nominal capacity of 250 kW and a power generation efficiency approaching 60%. The SOFC will supply approximately 80% of the output power and the MTG 20%. The MTG functions primarily as a turbo charger for the SOFC with some additional shaft power available to turn an integral generator. The demonstration will be conducted at the University of California at Irvine. Startup is scheduled for the summer of 1999. This project is expected to be the first demonstration of a hybrid cycle employing a pressurized SOFC to supplant the combustor of a gas turbine generator. The parameters of evaluation are the power output, electric generation efficiency, degradation characteristics, operability, and operating power range. The primary project objective is to demonstrate successful startup and operation over the design power range at efficiencies approaching 60%. Secondary objectives are to evaluate operability, component reliability, and to conduct a design evaluation to develop improvements for subsequent designs.

Full text

Abstract:

An experimental apparatus for the investigation of the flow-assisted corrosion of potential fuel cladding and structural materials to be used on a fast reactor cooled by supercritical carbon dioxide has been designed. This experimental project is part of a larger research at the Department of Energy being lead by the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) to investigate the suitability of supercritical carbon dioxide for cooling a fast reactor designed to produce low-cost electricity as well as for actinide burning. The INEEL once-through corrosion apparatus consists of two syringe pumps, a pre heat furnace, a 1.3 meter long heated corrosion test section, and a gas measuring system. The gas flow rates, heat input, and operating pressure can be adjusted so that a controlled coolant flow rate, temperature, and oxygen potential are created within each of six test sections. The corrosion cell will test tubing that is commercially available in the U. S. and specialty coupons to temperatures up to 600°C and a pressure of 20MPa. The ATHENA computer code was used to estimate the fluid conditions in each of the six test sections during normal operation.

Full text

Abstract:

A spectrally resolved molecular Rayleigh scattering technique was used to simultaneously measure axial component of velocity U, static temperature T, and density ρ in unheated free jets at Mach numbers Mj = 0.6, 0.95, 1.4 and 1.8. The latter two conditions were achieved using contoured convergent-divergent nozzles. A narrow line-width continuous wave laser was passed through the jet plumes and molecular scattered light from a small region on the beam was collected and analyzed using a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The optical spectrum analysis provided measures of velocity and static temperature. The local air density at the probe volume was determined by monitoring the intensity variation of the scattered light using photomultiplier tubes. The Fabry-Perot interferometer was operated in the imaging mode, whereby the fringe formed at the image plane was captured by a cooled CCD camera. Special attention was given to remove dust particles from the plume and to provide adequate vibration isolation to the optical components. The velocity profiles from various operating conditions were compared with that measured by a Pitot tube. An excellent comparison within 5m/s demonstrated the maturity of the technique. Temperature was measured least accurately, within 10K, while density was measured within 1% uncertainty. The survey data consisted of centerline variations and radial profiles of time-averaged U, T and ρ. The static temperature and density values were used to determine static pressure variations inside the jet. The data provided a comparative study of jet growth rates with increasing Mach number. The current work is part of a data-base development project for Computational Fluid Dynamics and Aeroacoustics codes that endeavor to predict noise characteristics of high speed jets. A limited amount of far field noise spectra from the same jets are also presented. Finally, a direct experimental validation was obtained for the Crocco-Busemann equation which is commonly used to predict temperature and density profiles from known velocity profiles. Data presented in this paper are available in ASCII format upon request.
