Abstract:
ABSTRACT The Minerals Management Service (MMS), is the principal U.S. government agency funding offshore oil spill response research. The MMS, a bureau of the Department of the Interior, maintains a comprehensive Oil Spill Response Research program in support of oil spill prevention and response. Through funding provided by MMS, scientists and engineers from the public and private sectors worldwide are working to address outstanding gaps in information and technology concerning the cleanup of oil spills. Joint research projects with Environment Canada (EC) continue to focus on determining the physical and chemical properties of crude oil, the fate and behavior of spilled oil, remote sensing and mapping of oil slicks, chemical treating agents including dispersants, and innovative shoreline cleanup strategies. In joint projects with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), MMS continues to assess the capabilities of in situ burning as an oil spill response tool. Also discussed is OHMSETT, the national Oil Spill Response Test Facility. OHMSETT is the only facility in the world where government agencies, universities, and private companies can conduct full-scale oil spill response equipment testing, research, and training with oil under controlled conditions.

Abstract:
The article develops a systematic approach to the management of mining, using, export and import non-metallic minerals for construction considering the economic parameters of the development of the world market situation and the domestic market. The analysis showed that the classification of minerals used by the Public Service Geology and Mineral Resources of Ukraine, the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine and Statistics of foreign economic activity - codes UKTZED - do not coincide that complicates the study process using these official sources. According to the results of the conducted researches, the indicators of the dynamics of minerals production in their natural and costly dimensions have been found to be inadequate. An analysis of dynamics and geographic structure of export-import operations was also conducted with natural sand, pebbles, gravel and breakstone. The obtained results allowed us to conclude that the approach to formation of export minerals' flows is not rational, because it poses a threat to the financial state of the mining industry and the country. An analysis of the geographical structure of the export and import of natural sand, pebbles, gravel and breakstone allowed proposing the use of a systematic approach to rational extraction, the use of the country's mineral resources base, while taking into account export-import flows and the price conditions of the external and internal markets and taking into account the resource component of state security.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A sound strategic approach to the management of the Mine Technical Services (MTS) department at Styldrift is critical. There are numerous areas of influence that play a role in the success or failure of the department. All these influences have an impact on each other and these influences need to be carefully understood. Within the MTS department there are also several subdepartments that have to be staffed, equipped and managed very well in order to get the best interdependent relationship between departments as possible. It is only through this interdependent relationship that the department can function complementarily and excel in achieving its strategic goals. Mineral resources at a mine are managed through the services from the mine technical team. There are few strategic documents in the mineral resource management (MRM) field that provide a guideline to set up a department successfully. Departments throughout the country operate on different levels with different standards without the knowledge shared from the one section to the next. For the purpose of this assignment, some of the ground principles were investigated and documented to create a link between departments, mines and companies to enable the move towards operational excellence within the MTS. Through the application of relevant literature, research was conducted on the industry to determine best practices. The industry best practices are discussed and referenced to Styldrift Specific. The strategy and management philosophy were evaluated and are highlighted in this assignment. With the literature firmly understood and the required direction from the company placed in perspective, the strategy for the MTS department could be crafted to an extent that it can be executed. Each department was broken down to manageable elements to understand the functioning of the department. The fundamental OR requirements were evaluated and are stipulated in this paper. The MTS department was then dissected through the available theory to guide the process of crafting and executing the departmental strategy. The journey through to operational excellence and the fundamental guideline of crafting and executing a strategic plan for an MTS department to manage mineral resources become clearer as the chapters of the assignment are completed. The end goal of the project was to have a document that can guide staffing, equipping and management of the MTS department at Styldrift in order to ensure success for the project, mine and surrounding communities.

Abstract:
Magíster en Gestión para la Globalización
El estado de fatiga es una respuesta protectora del organismo frente a un estímulo agresor que obliga a sujeto a detener o, por lo menos, disminuir la intensidad de aquella actividad que realiza. Este estímulo corresponde al estado en el cual el sujeto no descansa o no duerme en forma apropiada, generando entonces una condición riesgosa para cualquiera sea la labor que este desempeña Diversos estudios señalan los efectos adversos que la fatiga tiene en la concentración de los individuos, similares en algunos casos, a los efectos que el consumo de alcohol o drogas general. La fatiga laboral es considerada como un grave problema que afecta la salud de los trabajadores, reduce su rendimiento, contribuye a la baja productividad y aumenta el riesgo de sufrir accidentes en el lugar de trabajo, aumentando así no sólo los costos operacionales sino que también la latencia del periodo de licencias médicas. El objetivo de este estudio es identificar los elementos más utilizados a nivel mundial en prevención de riesgo de fatiga, y aplicar estos principios en el desarrollo de la empresa PERFORMANCE, que se presenta como una empresa de soluciones a la minería, a través de servicios y tecnologías orientados al diagnóstico, capacitación y entrenamiento del capital humano de la minería en Chile y Latinoamérica. Junto con la identificación de las estrategias y tecnologías usadas en el mundo para la asesoría en prevención de fatiga, se presenta además, el estado de los potenciales clientes, donde se identifican posibles necesidades que los potenciales clientes pudieran presentar y donde PERFORMANCE pudiera ofrecer su servicio de asesoría. En este sentido, se hace un análisis de la competencia y su estado del arte, para lo cual se identifica las empresas más renombradas y aquellas que siendo pequeñas, pudieran tener un crecimiento interesante a considerar. Por último, el presente documento muestra las razones por las cuales PERFORMANCE seria exitosa desde un punto de vista financiero, evaluado a través de un plan financiero a 5 años. Se indica el retorno esperado según el volumen de ventas de servicios proyectado para el mismo periodo. Esta factibilidad es evaluada a un horizonte de 5 años, con una tasa de descuento del 20%, resultando un VAN de $457.970.363 y una TIR de 9%. Por lo tanto, PERFORMANCE surge como una respuesta a la necesidad constante de mejoramiento de productividad, pero con un enfoque orientado hacia el rendimiento de los trabajadores, donde existe un potencial no explotado y que según la evidencia actual, conduciría no sólo a una reducción de costos, sino también un eventual aumento de productividad y paralelamente desarrollo de capital humano y retención del talento al ocuparse de necesidades básicas dentro del ambiente laboral.

Abstract:
Bone is a plastic tissue, changing in density and size with different levels of stress. Furthermore, it appears that BMD is altered in a site specific manner. However, BMD has not been studied extensively in all types of athletes, particularly well trained strengthpower athletes, such as throwers. The pwpose of this study was to examine the BMD of USA Division I collegiate throwers (shot put, discus, etc.). BMD was compared to normative data and to different athletes. Measures of whole body maximum strength and throwing performance were correlated with BMDs. Potential right/left side and sex differences were examined. Athletes were 4 males, 3 females age 19.9 ± 0.9 years. BMD was measured with a DEXA Maximum isometric strength was measured using a midthigh pull standing on a force plate. Force time-curves were generated during the strength tests. Peale force (PF) and normalized pealc force (PFa) were correlated with BMDs. Comparison indicates throwers have denser bones compared to normative data and compared to other types of athletes. Male throwers tend to have greater total body BMD than female throwers (p < 0.05). Dominant arm showed slightly greater BMD compared to non-dominant (p < 0.05). Furthermore, BMD is related to PF (r = 0.68) and PFa (r = 0.56). Throwers have greater BMD's than non-athletes or most other types of athletes. However, throwers showed only a small indication of sidedness. These observations likely stem from their training program (whole body heavy loading).

Abstract:
D.Cur. (Nursing Management)
A health maintenance organisation (HMO) that implements managed care is the health care service provider for a mine group. Case management is an integral part of managed care. Case management in a managed care setting within this mine group should be to the holistic benefit of both the client/patient and the service provider. Within the case management environment, nurse case managers (CMs) and their counterparts (professional nurses) should provide and facilitate quality patient care. However, they face many challenges, such as working in isolation from one another. The purpose of the study was to develop a training programme for CMs and professional nurses (PNs) to facilitate quality patient care in a managed care environment for the health care service provider for a mine group. In this study a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, and contextual design was followed. Purposive sampling was conducted from the populations of six CMs (N=6) and thirty PNs (N=30). Focus group discussions with twenty-eight (28) PNs and individual unstructured interviews with four (4) CMs were conducted to describe their experiences in the case management environment. Open coding followed, based on Tesch’s (1990) method of qualitative analysis (De Vos, 1998:343), and a conceptual framework emerged from the data analysis. A programme to facilitate quality patient care in a case management environment of the HMO was described for stakeholders (nurse case-managers and PNs). Recommendations for implementing the programme were described. Adapted phases of the programme development process of Meyer and van Niekerk (2008) were used in developing the programme. The survey list of the Practice Oriented Theory of Dickhoff, James and Wiedenbach (1968:434) formed the basis for developing a conceptual framework for the programme. Principles of case- and problem-based approaches (Scheider, 2010) served as a point of departure to develop the context-specific training programme. Trustworthiness was maintained by using Guba’s (De Vos, 2006:346; Babbie & Mouton, 2001: 276) model criteria, which are credibility, transferability, conformability and dependability. Ethical standards were adhered to throughout the study.

Abstract:
M.Cur. (Nursing Management)
Motivation is a process that influence and directs behaviour in order to satisfy a need. Motivation of nurses is important in the primary health care environment since low levels of motivation among Primary Health Care (PHC) nurses; who are in a critical position in health service delivery; could have a negative impact on the achievement of high standards in the nursing profession. This situation is also relevant in a mine clinic setting. The main factor in motivating nurses may be a sense of success. However, levels of stimulation and individual requirements also significantly influence the motivation of a person. As a manager at a mine clinic setting, the researcher became aware; by means of staff progress reports and performance appraisals; that PHC nurses (professional nurses) were demotivated. The research questions were therefore posed: - What are the motivational needs of PHC nurses in the workplace at mine clinic settings? - What should be done to assist these nurses to acquire motivation in the work place? Therefore, it was imperative to explore and describe the motivational needs of PHC nurses in their work place and to describe recommendations for nurse managers at a mine clinic setting to motivate PHC nurses. The study was conducted within the theoretical framework of McClelland’s Acquired Motivation Theory that consists of three basic needs, i.e. the need for achievement, the need for power, and the need for affiliation. A quantitative, explorative, descriptive design was followed and the researcher used a structured questionnaire to explore the perceptions of PHC nurses about their needs to acquire motivation in their workplace. The accessible population in this study was PHC nurses (N = 30) working at the 13 mine clinics. The accessible population served as the total sample.

Abstract:
This research investigated the potential benefits, risks and challenges, innovation properties and viability of cloud computing for records management on an Australian organisation within the mining software development sector. This research involved the use of a case study results analysis as well as a literature analysis. The literature analysis identified the ten potential benefits of cloud computing, as well as the ten risks and challenges associated with cloud computing. It further identified aspects, which needed to be addressed when adopting cloud computing in order to promote innovation within an organisation. The case study analysis was compared against a literature review of ten potential benefits of cloud computing, as well as the ten risks and challenges associated with cloud computing. This was done in order to determine cloud computing’s viability for records management for Company X (The company in the case study). Cloud computing was found to be viable for Company X. However, there were certain aspects, which need to be discussed and clarified with the cloud service provider beforehand in order to mitigate possible risks and compliance issues. It is also recommended that a cloud service provider who complies with international standards, such as ISO 15489, be selected. The viability of cloud computing for organisations similar to Company X (mining software development) followed a related path. These organisations need to ensure that the service provider is compliant with laws in their local jurisdiction, such as Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Australia, 2011:14-15), as well as laws where their data (in the cloud) may be hosted. The benefits, risks and challenges of records management and cloud computing are applicable to these similar organisations. However, mitigation of these risks needs to be discussed with a cloud service provider beforehand. From an innovation perspective, cloud computing is able to promote innovation within an organisation, if certain antecedents are dealt with. Furthermore, if cloud computing is successfully adopted then it should promote innovation within organisations.

Abstract:
Green supply chain management is a popular practice in any world class organization. The traditional supply chain was managed with the objectives to reduce cost without focusing on environmental and social dimensions. However with passage of time institutional pressures has directed firms to design supply chain network which takes care of environmental and social dimensions as well. Green supply chain management concept has evolved gradually over a period of time. The main reason behind evolution of green supply chain management is conservation of natural resources which human beings ignored for long. Published reports show that major portion of the energy is supplied by fossil fuels and thereby depletion of natural resources is occurring at an accelerating rate with time. Industrial manufacturing report also suggest that demand for manufacturing products is likely to double by the year 2050. This will result in high generation of pollutants and gases. If the greenhouse gases emissions remain unchecked, then it will create a catastrophic effect by 2050. Globally manufacturers and industry associations are now acting proactively to conserve the natural resources and curb greenhouse gases emissions. The level of popularity of green supply chain management can be estimated from the high research output in leading operations journals such as IJPE, IJPR, Resources, Conservation and Recycling Journals. Green supply chain management is a concept that is also gaining popularity in the South African region. For many organizations in this region it is a process to exhibit their sincere commitment to sustainability. However, if green supply chain management practices are to be fully adopted by all mining and minerals industry in South Africa, a demonstrable link between such measures and understanding the role of associated variables is necessary. This paper endeavors to develop a green supply chain management model for mining and minerals industry in the South African region. The approach extends the domain of green supply chain research and produce theories that have greater explanatory power than the current practices. For this purpose a conceptual model was developed from literature review and data collected using a structured questionnaire mailed to a sample of 174 firms which are leading edge ISO14001 certified mining companies in South Africa. Data analysis is further performed through exploratory factor analysis and regression analysis. This paper presents the first empirical evaluation of the link between green supply chain management practices amongst a sample of mining and minerals companies in South Africa.

Supply chains are linked for specific purpose and by something. Hence, the respective links of the chain must be hooked in the right place, sufficiently strong, and have to start somewhere. This chapter looks at the raw materials supply chain as the first link in a commodity supply, from the European Union (EU) perspective. Aspects of the raw material potential of critical or strategic mineral resources in Europe, its further exploration, and the concept of modifying factors are considered, and reporting systems of resources and reserves are described, underpinned by examples of mineral potentials in different regions of the EU. Thus, targeted exploration of raw materials, especially within the framework of national geological research, serves to support a sustainable and resilience supply chain. EU projects, such as GeoERA and Geological Service for EU, assist in shaping the tailor-made exploration programs fit for providing mineral data publicly available through EuroGeoSurveys’ European Geological Data Infrastructure. In the future, raw materials may be seen as global public goods required to address many challenges, from the climate crisis to geopolitical instability; therefore, the society could conceptualize them in a new way, from a dominant investment returns-oriented viewpoint to one linked to delivering global objectives.

Abstract:
The most important for the legal regulation of sustainable corporate governance is the latest proposal of the EU directive, which introduces the duties of corporate sustainability due diligence (corporate sustainability due diligence directive, CSDDD, proposal 2022); that is, the duties of companies (also from third countries) to define actual and potential negative impacts on the environment and human rights, and the duty to prevent and eliminate them (also in business chains). It seems that the voluntary action did not lead to a large-scale improvement in all sectors, so negative externalities of EU production and consumption are noticeable in the Union and outside. In this regard, the CSDDD also relies on the OECD due diligence guidelines for responsible supply chains of minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas, the OECD guidelines for textiles and footwear and, in collaboration with FAO, the guidelines for agriculture and food.

Abstract:
The ‘riches’ of provincial India that were shown at the Punjab Exhibition of 1864 were later described in two hefty volumes by B. H. Baden-Powell of the Bengal Civil Service as the Hand-Book of the Economic Products of the Punjab. It began simply as a catalogue of all the items exhibited, but mushroomed into something more. Timber and other forest products featured alongside minerals, metals, manufacturing dyes, pottery, salt, and soils. A section was devoted to animal products such as lac (later used to make gramophone records), silk, musk, and wool; opium and 2,038 other drugs were listed, as well as the economic crops tea, cotton, flax, spices, grains, and pulses. Baden-Powell savoured the size, colour, and quality of each specimen, interspersed with grand descriptions of the countryside from which they came. But it was their uses, primarily to empire, and also to local communities, which distinguished these specimens. ‘A collection properly grouped together’, Baden-Powell wrote in the introduction, ‘becomes to the intelligent spectator a perfect history of the social condition of the country it represents’. More particularly, this provided a shopping list of tradable resources and their uses—a detailed breakdown of the natural wealth of India, about which many classical writers had enthused. Indigenous hardwoods were prime riches in this treasure trove; essential to the British army, navy, and railways, they became cogs in the conquest of India. The new demands inevitably led to deforestation. This chapter explores the debates over exploitation of India’s forests, and focuses more specifically on the rise of conservationist concerns, in which forestry played a major role. By conservation, we mean a set of ideas and practices that aimed at efficient and regulated usage of natural resources, so that they would be maintained in the longer term. We also consider forests as contested spaces, and the implications of their reservation for access to resources—in particular by local people. We have touched on conservationist views in respect of wildlife (Chapters 4 and 5) but it is important to examine forestry since it had such a major impact upon peoples and landscapes over time, it was a precursor to other forms of scientific environmental management, and the ideas and practices developed in India were exported to other parts of the Empire.

Abstract:
The challenge of climate change in the world has hitherto perplexed scholars and professionals, with reports of climate change not sparing the manufacturing sector. All countries are most vulnerable to this threat and will suffer greatly if no action is taken. In the 21st century, scientists have confirmed with great concern the severe weather conditions that are expected to become harsher. The aim of the chapter is to explore the effect of climate change on the manufacturing sector. Literature has been used as a source of secondary data. The effect of climate is examined from five major business strategic positions: productivity, business risk, goods and services, chemicals and minerals, natural resources, and buildings. The chapter also covers the need for manufactures to adapt to climate change with various possible actions that can be taken by the sector against climate impacts on business. Continuous staff and management training and education on climate change is recommended.

Abstract:
Mango is one of the frequently cultivated seasonal fruit crops in several tropical and subtropical regions. It is consumed as whole fruits apart from serving as raw materials for most industries that are into mineral production. Mango production is, however, constrained by diseases, pests, and poor post-harvest handling of fruits. Anthracnose disease, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz and Sacc, is one of the most important yields limiting constraint in mango production across the globe. The disease occurs in both the field and post-harvesting. In the field, it affects aboveground parts, such as the stem, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Anthracnose disease reduces the shelve life and marketability of mango fruit. In Ghana, anthracnose disease is responsible for about 30% yield/fruit loss. Most farmers do not control it, although some have resorted to the application of various fungicides not registered for mango anthracnose disease management in Ghana. This chapter will highlight on the importance of the disease on the mango industry in Ghana, control strategies currently employed thereby reducing the over-reliance on chemical control option and propose ways to minimize the effect of the disease in the country.

Abstract:
The article examines the factors that affect the formation of an effective system of management for the competitiveness of agricultural products of high-value agricultural enterprises of Zhytomyr region, in particular price, qualitative parameters, cost, profitability. The features of competitive environment of highly commodity agrarian enterprises of Zhytomyr Region have been investigated. The economic evaluation of the resource potential and the economic efficiency of the agrarian production of highly commodity agrarian enterprises have been done and analyzed. The main factors influencing the competitiveness of these enterprises have been revealed. The ways of competitiveness’s raising of highly commodity agrarian enterprises have been offered on the basis of the effective providing with the resources and their using, the forming of the effective management system of the agrarian production, the ratio of commodity’s raising. The main stages of the system of evaluation and management of the product’s competitiveness of high-value agricultural enterprises are determined. Attention is paid to diversification of the production process as one of the main ways of increasing the competitiveness of production of these enterprises. Optimization of the production process is important for the diversification of these enterprises. The provision of additional services that can be offered by high-value agricultural enterprises is the final stage of diversification for them. The main ways to increase the competitiveness of these enterprises of the region by expanding the scope of services are: renting other agricultural machinery enterprises; processing of land plots by the agricultural machinery of these enterprises; provision of services for the application of organic and mineral fertilizers; use of transport, which is on the balance sheet of enterprises, for the needs of the population. It was found that increasing the sales volume of competitive products of high-value agricultural producers in the study area will be facilitated by the creation of agrarian marketing services at these enterprises, which will deal with many issues regarding the promotion of products from producers to intermediaries and end consumers.

Abstract:
Discipline formation in information management is investigated through a case study of the origination and development of information services for scientific and technical information in Australia. Particular reference is made to a case of AESIS, a national geoscience, minerals and petroleum reference database coordinated by the Australian Mineral Foundation. This study provided a model for consideration of similar services and their contribution to the discipline. The perspective adopted is to consider information management at operational, analytical and strategic levels. Political and financial influences are considered along with analysis of scope, performance and quality control. Factors that influenced the creation, transitions, and abeyance of the service are examined, and some conclusions are drawn about an information management discipline being exemplified by such services.

Abstract:
The Plain City Southwest (SW) and Ogden Bay 7.5′ quadrangles are in Weber, Box Elder, and Davis Counties. The quadrangles include parts of the communities of Hooper, Warren, and Reese, the Harold Crane Waterfowl Management Area, several waterfowl wetlands, as well as the southwestern corner of Willard Bay Reservoir. The North Fork and South Fork of the Weber River f low south into the Ogden Bay Wildlife Management Area at the edge of Great Salt Lake. The northwestern part of the Ogden Bay quadrangle and the southwestern part of the Plain City SW quadrangle contain most of Little Mountain, a small bedrock mountain with about 500 feet of relief. The western side of Little Mountain as well as the northern part of the Plain City SW quadrangle are part of Willard Bay of Great Salt Lake. Small meandering channels flow into the bays from local drainages. Numerous evaporation ponds related to industrial minerals production cover the central western and northwestern part of the Plain City SW quadrangle, obscuring geologic deposits. This mapping project will provide the basis for identifying and delimiting potential geologic hazards in future Utah Geological Survey (UGS) geologic hazard maps, part of the UGS Geologic Hazards Mapping Initiative (Castleton and McKean, 2012). Mapping for the project was done on stereographic pairs of aerial photographs from the following sources: black-and-white aerial photographs from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (1958, 1965, 1971a, 1971b). Mosaics of some USDA photographs were accessed using the Weber County web services (USDA Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, 1937, 1962, 1980, 1985). Additional aerial photography sets from the National Agricultural Imaging Program (NAIP) were used (Utah Geospatial Resource Center [UGRC], mid-1990s, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2016a, 2018a, 2021a) as well as high-resolution (15cm) Hexagon imagery (Utah Geospatial Resource Center, 2021b). Most Quaternary unit contacts, including human disturbed areas, were mapped using two lidar elevation datasets (Utah Geospatial Resource Center [UGRC], 2016b, 2018b). The geologic map was made by transferring the geology from the aerial photographs to a geographic information system (GIS) database using the programs ESRI ArcPro and Global Mapper v. 18 for a target scale of 1:24,000. Cross section A-A′ was created in Adobe Illustrator. Field-based investigations included shallow subsurface investigations in targeted areas with a soil auger. Materials from 1 to 3 meters were observed, documented, and sampled, which aided in preparing descriptions of most Quaternary units.

Full text
Abstract:
In recognition of the increasing trend toward the strain-based design of pipelines and the need for basic guidance on strain-based design, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) and the Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) co-funded EWI to provide general guidance on strain-based design for pipelines both for the on-shore and off-shore environment. The resulting guidance can be found in this report. Special consideration has been given to the choice and qualification of pipe material, the choice and qualification of girth welding procedures and the demonstration that both pipe and weld areas have sufficient strain capacity to meet the requirements of the design. The current use of strain-based design has many project-specific components. This limits the ability of a "cookbook" approach where each step can be laid out as part of a common design sequence to apply to all areas of pipe strain-based design. This situation would indicate that taking the current state-of-the-art methods and creating a code or standard would be ineffective at covering the range of needs for future pipeline designs. Yet, because there are many choices that are part of a particular pipeline strain-based design, the availability of guidance and recommended practices can help simplify the design and qualification process for many pipelines. Going forward with this approach, the guidance provided in this report could profitably be taken forward by the industry into, for instance, an API-recommended practice. The primary areas where the strain-based design will be used are in the design of reeled laying of offshore pipelines, in thermal design of arctic pipelines, in the design of types of offshore pipelay systems, in design and assessment of pipelines in areas with significant expected ground movement, and in high-temperature and high-pressure HT/HP pipeline designs.

Full text
Abstract:
The objective of the project was to validate existing pipeline integrity prediction models through field testing multiple pipelines, validate the performance of in-line instrumentation through smart pig runs, and finally, to assess the actual integrity of aging damaged and defective pipelines. The objectives were accomplished by the testing of aging out-of-service lines using "smart pigs", followed by hydrotesting of the lines to failure, recovery of the failed sections, and determination of the pipeline characteristics in the vicinity of the failed sections (failure analysis). One objective of the project was to validate the dented, gouged, and corroded pipeline burst strength prediction models currently in existence, such as ASME B31-G, R-Streng, and DNV 99 for pipelines. Another model was being developed as a joint international project sponsored by the U. S. Minerals Management Service, Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), and Instituto Mexicano del Petroleo (IMP) titled RAM PIPE REQUAL and an associated JIP identified as PIMPIS (Pipeline Inspection, Maintenance, and Performance Information System), this would be tested and validated as well. The validation was provided by hydrotesting in-situ pipelines to failure. Sustained and rapidly applied hydro-pressures were used to investigate the effects of delayed and dynamic pressure related failures. After testing, the pipelines were scheduled for decommissioning; with the failed sections located, and brought to the laboratory for testing and analysis. Class A predictions were made before the pipelines were hydrotested to failure based on results from in-line instrumentation (instrumented) and from knowledge of the pipeline products and other characteristics (not instrumented). Based on the results from the testing, the analytical models were to be revised to provide improved agreement between the measured and predicted burst pressures. Since the pipelines were inspected with smart pigs before the hydro-tests, it was possible to compare the smart-pig data gathered during pig runs to the actual condition of the pipeline. This was accomplished by recovering sections of the pipeline that were identified by the pig as having pits or metal-loss areas. Reviewed pipeline decommissioning inventory and selected a pipeline candidate. The specific scope of work included: � Selected pipelines for testing. � Conducted field tests with an instrumented pig to determine pipeline denting, gouging and corrosion conditions. � Used existing analytical models to determine burst strength for both instrumented and non-instrumented pipelines. � Hydrotested the selected pipelines to failure (sustained and rapidly applied pressures). � Located and retrieve failed sections and other sections identified as problem spots by the "smart-pig." � Compared "smart pig" data to actual pipeline condition. � Analyzed the failed sections to determine their physical and material characteristics. � Revised the analytical models to provide improved agreements between predicted and measured burst pressures.

Protocol for monitoring aquatic invertebrates of small streams in the Heartland Inventory & Monitoring Network: Version 2.1. National Park Service, April 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2284622.

Full text
Abstract:
The Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network (HTLN) is a component of the National Park Service’s (NPS) strategy to improve park management through greater reliance on scientific information. The purposes of this program are to design and implement long-term ecological monitoring and provide information for park managers to evaluate the integrity of park ecosystems and better understand ecosystem processes. Concerns over declining surface water quality have led to the development of various monitoring approaches to assess stream water quality. Freshwater streams in network parks are threatened by numerous stressors, most of which originate outside park boundaries. Stream condition and ecosystem health are dependent on processes occurring in the entire watershed as well as riparian and floodplain areas; therefore, they cannot be manipulated independently of this interrelationship. Land use activities—such as timber management, landfills, grazing, confined animal feeding operations, urbanization, stream channelization, removal of riparian vegetation and gravel, and mineral and metals mining—threaten stream quality. Accordingly, the framework for this aquatic monitoring is directed towards maintaining the ecological integrity of the streams in those parks. Invertebrates are an important tool for understanding and detecting changes in ecosystem integrity, and they can be used to reflect cumulative impacts that cannot otherwise be detected through traditional water quality monitoring. The broad diversity of invertebrate species occurring in aquatic systems similarly demonstrates a broad range of responses to different environmental stressors. Benthic invertebrates are sensitive to the wide variety of impacts that influence Ozark streams. Benthic invertebrate community structure can be quantified to reflect stream integrity in several ways, including the absence of pollution sensitive taxa, dominance by a particular taxon combined with low overall taxa richness, or appreciable shifts in community composition relative to reference condition. Furthermore, changes in the diversity and community structure of benthic invertebrates are relatively simple to communicate to resource managers and the public. To assess the natural and anthropo-genic processes influencing invertebrate communities, this protocol has been designed to incorporate the spatial relationship of benthic invertebrates with their local habitat including substrate size and embeddedness, and water quality parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance, and turbidity). Rigid quality control and quality assurance are used to ensure maximum data integrity. Detailed standard operating procedures (SOPs) and supporting information are associated with this protocol.
