Full textAbstract:
New Tribes Mission (NTM) is a transnational group of Christian missionaries that have the main goal to evangelize and contact indigenous people isolated in América, Asia, and Africa. This essay is a case study of the video “Wayumi-Your adventure into tribal missions // New Tribes Mission” produced by NTM (2009). The audiovisual circulating and is on the web. The article problematizes indigenous peoples representation through the name that the missionaries give them such as “unreached ethnic groups” and works conceptual discussions debates such as authenticity, exotism, the noble savage and colonialism. Methodologically, the paper focuses on visual discourse analysis and semiotic analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Dora Belle McLaughlin Burgess was an American Presbyterian missionary, devoted to the mission to the Quiché tribe in Guatemala from 1913 to 1962. During her service, she translated the New Testament from Greek into the Quiché language. She also published a hymnal in Quiché and an ethnographic writing on Quiché culture. This paper attempts to shed light on the life of Dora Burgess, whose work was unknown, and to trace the formation of her identity as a missionary and her mission approach to the native inhabitants. In doing so, the paper argues that her interaction with the native tribes in the mission field shaped her identity as a missionary and her understanding of mission in ways in which the indigenous people's agency and subjectivity were recognised and respected. In the earlier period of her service in Guatemala, Dora Burgess conceived of mission work as a rescue project to transform the native tribes into Christians who would denounce their ‘superstitious’ traditions; however, her later focus in mission work, especially in her bible translation project, lay in acknowledging the native traditions and cultures and giving the indigenous tribe opportunities to be Christians in their own ways.

Full textAbstract:
In the mid-1960s, the New Tribes Mission successfully completed the first of three peaceful contacts with the Yuquí Indians of the Bolivian Amazon. Because of the small sizes of the groups and mission efforts to provide immediate medical care, the Yuquí did not suffer significant initial population decline as is normally the case. In the mid-1980s, changing social and economic relationships between the Yuquí and the outside world caused unforseen disruptions in the previously closed mission environment. The intervention of anthropologists and development agencies coupled with escalating attacks against the New Tribes Mission by the Catholic Church altered the nature of missionary involvement with the Yuquí. A short-term multilateral development project initiated in 1987 witnessed unprecedented cooperation between mission personnel and development workers.

The Lipan Apache mission on the banks of the San Sabá River was located on the northern boundary of Coahuila, New Spain, in the center of today’s state of Texas. On March 16, 1758, Norteño tribes, allied with the Comanches, attacked and destroyed the mission, demonstrating their hostility to what they saw as the Spaniards’ unjust support of their traditional enemy, the Apaches. The destruction of the mission contributed to the failure of the most far-reaching attempt by the Spanish Crown and the Franciscan Order to settle the Apaches in Texas. The Spanish believed that the mission was the only means to ensure a peaceful settlement of central Texas native tribes and simultaneously to check French illegal arms trade in the northern borderlands. Once the Lipan Apaches were pacified, the reasoning went, definitive settlement of all the Norteño tribes and their allies would follow. These settlements of pacified tribes would also provide the much-desired direct link between Spanish settlements in Texas and those of New Mexico.

Full textAbstract:
This paper argues that a complex of accounting measures — account books, inventories of accumulated wealth, and detailed instructions for production performance — were used to inculcate Western values into the native population located at five Franciscan missions along the San Antonio River in New Spain (present-day Texas) from 1718 to 1794. Bolstered by the need to alleviate communications problems caused by extreme isolation, the missionaries constructed detailed mission documents that described the acquisition of scarce resources, reported the aggregation of material and spiritual mission wealth, and controlled daily production performance of the native population. In short, the resulting mission economic system, which held the Indians to certain notions of accountability, primarily by restricting their choices, nourished the Western view of income distribution based on effort. We propose that these procedures ultimately caused the Coahuiltecans to abandon their native beliefs, and gradually, to be absorbed into Spanish society. The 150 Coahuiltecan tribes ceased to exist as a distinct culture by the early 19th century. The exploitation and ultimate subjugation of the Coahuiltecan Indians parallels strikingly subsequent developments in Canada, Australia, and the Scottish Highlands.

Full textAbstract:
The Russian conquest of Siberia was not only a remarkable event in world history like the conquest of the New World by the Western European nations, but also a decisive step in Russia's empire-building. Through territorial enlargement the empire became multiethnic. This process resembled the expansion of the white settlers in North America. Like North America, Siberia represented an “open frontier.” Harsh nature and the encounter between the white settlers and the “savages” formed the identity of the frontier. From the perspective of modern cultural anthropology the frontier also shaped reflections on the self and the other. There existed, however, a decisive difference to the American frontier: Siberia became a meeting ground for Russian and Asian cultures. Whereas the American frontier—except in the encounter with Mexico—remained isolated, Russians early came in contact with Asian nations. From the early emergence of a modern state in Russia during the era of Enlightenment, Russia came into manifold contacts with “civilized” Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans) and with “uncivilized” Asians, i.e. the tribes of Siberia. At the junction between Europe and Asia, Russia as a Eurasian empire was the sole country in Europe which was so near to Asia. It was therefore logical that Russia felt a kind of mission toward Asia and required the role of a mediator between Europe and Asia.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper analyzes the two distinct concepts of translation at work in the encounter between the Amazonian Wari' and the New Tribes Mission evangelical missionaries, and the equivocations stemming from this difference. While the missionaries conceive translation as a process of converting meanings between languages, conceived as linguistic codes that exist independently of culture, for the Wari', in consonance with their perspectivist ontology, it is not language that differentiates beings but their bodies, given that those with similar bodies can, as a matter of principle, communicate with each other verbally. Translation is realized through the bodily metamorphosis objectified by mimetism and making kin, shamans being the translators par excellence, capable of circulating between distinct universes and providing the Wari' with a dictionary-like lexicon that allows them to act in the context of dangerous encounters between humans and animals.

Full textAbstract:
Os Wari’, povo falante de língua da família Txapakura, que habita o oeste do estado de Rondônia, convive há cinco décadas com os missionários fundamentalistas protestantes da New Tribes Mission. A partir do recurso comparativo ao mito, este artigo procura compreender a conversão ao cristianismo como um processo de adoção da perspectiva do inimigo, relacionado à busca dos Wari’ pela estabilização na posição de humanos. Visa também contribuir para o debate corrente entre antropólogos e estudiosos da religião, quanto à integridade do cristianismo em seu processo de propagação, ao mostrar que a dicotomia entre continuidade e ruptura não tem sentido para povos - como os Wari’ e outros ameríndios - que se reproduzem por meio de sucessivas alterações que envolvem a transformação em outro e a aquisição da sua perspectiva. A adoção do cristianismo como algo novo e externo não contradiz a afirmação de continuidade entre esta religião e a cultura nativa.

CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
Nesta dissertação de mestrado analiso o contato inter-religioso promovido pela atuação de missões evangélicas (SIL e MNTB) junto à comunidade indígena Maxakali, localizada no nordeste do Estado de Minas Gerais. Além de acompanhar o desenvolvimento das atividades proselitistas destas instituições entre os índios Maxakali, objetivamos compreender como ao longo do contato inter-religioso ocorre o processo de identificação do Deus cristão com o personagem indígena Topa. Na bibliografia sobre os índios Maxakali, Topa aparece como o personagem central do “mito de criação” do grupo, e apesar de alguns autores reconhecerem que seu nome também era associado ao Deus cristão, não existem análises sobre este processo. Assim, nosso desafio será compreender como Topa foi, e vêm sendo, apropriado de diferentes maneiras ao longo do contato entre os Maxakali e os missionários evangélicos; e também analisar o processo que possibilitou que este personagem gradativamente fosse identificado com o Deus cristão. O escopo desta pesquisa é, portanto, perceber o esforço missionário de inserir o Deus cristão ao contexto Maxakali através do personagem Topa. A partir da análise de mitos Maxakali e hinos evangélicos traduzidos para o idioma do grupo buscaremos compreender este processo de associação, e também a (in)adequação dos ensinamentos missionários aos padrões sócioculturais e religiosos dos índios Maxakali.
In this master’s dissertation, I analyze the pro inter-religious contact heard by acts of evangelic missions (SIL and MNTB) on the Maxakali Indian at the northeast of Minas Gerais. Besides of studying the proselytizes activities of this institutions among the Maxakali Indians, we have the goal to understand how the Indians started to associate Topa (the Indian character) as the Christian God during this inter-religious contact. In the Maxakali biography, Topa come as the central character of the “creation myth” of the group an despite of the fact that some authors recognize Topa as the Christian God in their works, that are no analysis about it. So the challenge here is to understand how Topa was used in so many ways during the contact between the Maxakali and the evangelic missionaries; and analyze the process the made possible this character to be gradually associated with the Christian God. Hence, the purpose of this research is to realize the missionary effort to introduce the Christian God in the Maxakali context through Topa. From the analysis of the Maxakali myths an evangelic religions songs translated to their idiom, we will try understand the association process, and also how (in)adequate were the Christian teaching to the Maxakali religious and social-cultural standards.

Full textAbstract:
By 1836 both the Presbyterians and the Jesuits had penetrated the Pacific Northwest. The Whitmans and the Spaldings were the first Presbyterians to settle in this region. The Whitmans settled with the Cayuse at W ailaptu near Walla Walla and the Spaldings resided at Lapwaii with the Nez Perce tribe. Although two Canadian priests were working in this region, it was not until 1840, with the arrival of Father Jean-Pierre DeSmet that the Jesuits commenced their missionary work. Fr. DeSmet initially settled with the Flathead tribe in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. This paper observes how the Jesuits in Montana and the Presbyterians in the Columbia basin related with their respective tribes. With each situation a pattern occurs of tribal acceptance and rejection. The different tribes were initially eager to learn from the missionaries but as the years pass by, the novelty of Christianity wore thin. What became more obvious to the tribal members was that slowly their numbers were diminishing due to disease brought over by white settlers and simultaneously their land was disappearing as the pioneers built their homes. This observation resulted directly in the Native American rejection of the Christian missionaries. The Jesuits and the Spaldings were fortunate to escape without physical harm. This was not the case, though for Dr. Marcus and Narcissa Whitman who lost their lives in the Whitman massacre. To understand the reasons for this rejection, this paper spends the first few chapters looking into the background of the three tribes as well as the missionaries. It then examines the three different tribes and their history with their respective missionaries, observing the reasons, both long and short term for their failures. In the final chapter the paper investigates the obvious yet undocumented competition between the Catholic and Protestant missionaries to be the sole religion in this region. Their co-existence of these two faiths was another factor which resulted in the disillusionment of the Native American tribes in this region.

Full textAbstract:
American jurisprudence currently applies two incompatible validity standards to determine which laws are enforceable. The natural law tradition evaluates validity by an uncertain standard of divine law, and its methodology relies on contradictory views of human reason. Legal positivism, on the other hand, relies on a methodology that commits the analytic fallacy, separates law from its application, and produces an incomplete model of law.
These incompatible standards have created a schism in American jurisprudence that impairs the delivery of justice. This dissertation therefore formulates a new standard for legal validity. This new standard rejects the uncertainties and inconsistencies inherent in natural law theory. It also rejects the narrow linguistic methodology of legal positivism.
In their stead, this dissertation adopts a pragmatic methodology that develops a standard for legal validity based on actual legal experience. This approach focuses on the operations of law and its effects upon ongoing human activities, and it evaluates legal principles by applying the experimental method to the social consequences they produce. Because legal history provides a long record of past experimentation with legal principles, legal history is an essential feature of this method.
This new validity standard contains three principles. The principle of reason requires legal systems to respect every subject as a rational creature with a free will. The principle of reason also requires procedural due process to protect against the punishment of the innocent and the tyranny of the majority. Legal systems that respect their subjects' status as rational creatures with free wills permit their subjects to orient their own behavior. The principle of reason therefore requires substantive due process to ensure that laws provide dependable guideposts to individuals in orienting their behavior.
The principle of consent recognizes that the legitimacy of law derives from the consent of those subject to its power. Common law custom, the doctrine of stare decisis, and legislation sanctioned by the subjects' legitimate representatives all evidence consent.
The principle of autonomy establishes the authority of law. Laws must wield supremacy over political rulers, and political rulers must be subject to the same laws as other citizens. Political rulers may not arbitrarily alter the law to accord to their will.
Legal history demonstrates that, in the absence of a validity standard based on these principles, legal systems will not treat their subjects as ends in themselves. They will inevitably treat their subjects as mere means to other ends. Once laws do this, men have no rest from evil.

AbstractOn the 29th of March 2019 the Swiss Federal Chancellery launched a review of the procedures surrounding e-voting after numerous flaws were discovered in the Scytl-Swiss Post system sVote. On the 5th of July 2021 an independent examination of the revised Swiss Post system began, with some cantons planning to launch new trials with this system.We summarize and reflect on our experience with the examination of the cryptographic protocol so far and muse over the future. We find that the protocol specification considerably improved over the last 3 years, both through changes in the protocol itself and through clarifications of missing elements in its specification. The clarifications also shed a new light on shortcomings of the protocol, in terms of both verifiability and privacy, including in the latest version of the system, which remains incompletely specified.We believe that these findings illustrate virtues of the examination requirements set by the Swiss Federal Chancellery: problems can be fixed before deployment rather than being exploited by malicious parties during an election. They also illustrate the tremendous challenges of creating a secure Internet voting system, and the long road ahead.

AbstractIrregular migration is a worldwide phenomenon. Each country develops its vision and its actions generally without knowing either the magnitude or the depth of irregular migrations stock and flows. Each actor tries to develop its specific contribution to picture its complexity in the Mediterranean region, the world deadliest zone for migrants. We develop a global method to measure the process of irregular maritime migration in twelve steps from North Africa to Europe. Such a vision is a missing link in the governance of irregular migrations. The first sequence (entry) has three steps. Migration begins with the intention to leave. Then the prospects legitimize the move. Finally, the departure is decided. The final sequence (exit) has three options: installation, return to the country of origin or a new departure. Between these two sequences, we design the “black box” on the sea route, with six steps.This macroscopic view is based on field studies and data produced since this millennium particularly on harga from Maghreb Countries (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia).Each country can thus find its function in sharing information, hence contributing to the implementation of the first goal of the UN global compact for regular migration.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract There have been several developments in Seventh-day Adventist missiology. This chapter engages Adventist mission from a perspective of continuity, change, and rupture. From a shut-door mission mindset, the Adventist denomination shifted its mission thinking to a worldwide cross-cultural mission engagement. This progression touches aspects and elements of mission theological themes such as eschatology and ecclesiology. In mission praxis, strategic and practical changes have pushed Adventist missiological thinking to adjusting to new difficulties and openings in today’s world. It is in charting these developments that the chapter shows how a close-minded group that emerged in 1844 became a global missionary phenomenon. The trajectory outlined in this chapter reveals that Adventism’s aim to become a church for all nations, tribes, tongues, and peoples is more vocalized and realized in its mission praxis.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the present study is to analyse the diplomatic mission of Count Stephan Wilhelm Kinsky to the court of Peter the Great. On the basis of diplomatic dispatches, the main focus is concentrated on the course of Kinsky's mission and on his obligations as envoy. His task was to stabilise Russian-Habsburg relations, especially with regard to the new imperial title of Tsar Peter. The study tries to depict the transitional period in the Russian Empire after the end of Great Northern War and focuses on the atmosphere of court society at that time. The study addresses the question of which instructions from the Vienna court were fulfilled by the Bohemian aristocrat (and which were not). Kinsky's mission is approached as a part of the process of the negotiation of an alliance between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Russian Empire. Kinsky was forced to deal with the inconveniences of the nascent Saint Petersburg, natural disasters, and the intrigues of competing delegations at the Russian court during the mission. Although the mission and its results at first sight cannot be described as a success, Kinsky's activity in the Russian Empire became a turning point both in his own career and, as an upshot, in the development of the Russian-Habsburg relations.

It discusses the utopian energy of music education and presents ideas about how to reconceptualize music education in view of social change. It reconnects the concepts developed in the previous chapters with significant notions in utopian studies to highlight the potential of this new music education approach, particularly in view of global crises. This final chapter tries to encourage utopian thinking to refine music education’s societal mission, but without forgetting or marginalizing its artistic and aesthetic dimensions.

Abstract The Lincoln Sesquicentennial and Civil War Centennial brought both closure to the commemorations of the 1950s and a shift in thematic content. Again, Robert N. Bellah’s distinction is apt. Earlier observances mostly paid homage to discoverers or liberators of the promised land, to America’s Old Testament or Mosaic age, while Lincoln and the Civil War evoked New Testament trials-”death, sacrifice, and rebirth:’ Like the earlier celebrations, these two anniversaries expressed the nation’s sense of its Cold War mission and its appointment with destiny.

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) allow us to survey and explore globally and freely in vast deep sea. We aim to develop long cruising range AUVs (LCAUVs) for researches of the global change, ocean-trench earthquake, and biodiversity and for exploring ocean resources. We have developed the first prototype of LCAUV, Urashima since 1998. The vehicle powered by a PEFC system marked the world record of cruising distance of 317 kilometers in 2005. The vehicle, 10 m long and 10 tons in weight, has the specifications: maximum depth ratings; 3500 m, maximum cruising speed; 3.2 knots, and endurance; 60 hours. This large vehicle has large user payload of a few hundreds kilograms. In 2007, research and development of the elemental technologies which will be utilizes for development of the second generation LCAUV started to expand cruising range to 3000 kilometers. For long range cruising, technology improvement of power sources, navigations, communications, and vehicle controlling are mainly important. Since endurance of the LCAUV becomes over 600 hours, during this cruising period the vehicle controller must autonomously deal with problems which may occur in any devices. If the vehicle controller does not recover a fatal problem, the controller appropriately leads status of the vehicle to quit an executing mission and ascend itself. We have improved the vehicle controller and plan sea-trials using the controller in January 2009. On the other hand, The AUV, MR-X1, 2.4 m long and 800 kg in weight, has been developed for scientific research and the test bed of the LCAUVs since 2000. This working AUV is also needed for installing or recovering observation equipment, tracking and sampling benthos or planktons, and doing simple repetitive works. The first sea-trial of MR-X1 was carried out in 2003. After that, the MR-X1 system is only used as a test bed of the developed devices in the LCAUV project. In this year, we have developed new items, a device installer on the sea-floor and mud core sampler for the MR-X1. In the technical report, a redundant controlling system for the LCAUV installed on the MR-X1 is described. And new items and their test results will be reported.

Full textAbstract:
The author offers new possibilities for interpretation of Frankish, domestic and Byzantine sources regarding the Bulgarian political control over territories of Avar Khaganate, destroyed by Charlemagne. The main focus is placed on the certificate of embassy led by Princeрs Avarum and Canizauci in Aachen in November 811. Coordinating it with Bulgarian and Byzantine sources, leads to the following conclusions. 1. It is likely that the diplomatic mission to Charlemagne in 811, involving representatives of the Avar community, led by its Tudun and Slavic tribal princes, was led by the Bulgarian prince – Omurtag, the younger brother of the ruler Krum (802? – 814), in his capacity as prince (princeps) and ombritag. i. e. Avars hegemon, in the northwestern borders after 803 and „Khan’s beloved younger brother” (khani sev`ingi or khani sev(inč) ingi). In Aachen, he introduced himself as a cani zautzi, that is, with his post of „Khan’s envoy”. 2. The khanas uvigi Omurtag (814–831) missions to Emperor Louis in 824 and 825–826 appear to have also been led by a member of the ruling family in Plisk oba (Pliska), maybe from his second son – Zvinitsa/Zvinichis. They also appear to have had a representative/s of settlers between 813 and 837 in TransDanubian Bulgaria (probably in the Lower Tisza region) of Bulgarian captives of Eastern Thrace of Armenian origin. One of their leaders in 837 was named Tzantzès, and his son, Stilian, and his descendants gained fame in Byzantium under the surname Ζαούτζης, Ζαούτζας. It coincides exactly with the proBulgarian official title (position) zautzi (tzautci), (=chaush) and probably derived from it. On this basis, we conclude that Τζάντζην (Öан¤·þ воеводэ) was performing the carrier of messages or emissary functions of the Bulgarian state before 837. 3. The considered evidence, facts and circumstances surrounding the Bulgarian diplomatic missions of 811, 824 and 825/6 provide new testifies for the Bulgarian state’s control over the south-eastern parts of the Avar Khaganate after its collapse in the period 791–803. They have a contribution to clarify important aspects of the Bulgarian state’s relations with the East Frankish Kingdom, as well as with the local population of Avars, Bulgarians and Slavs there.

Full textAbstract:
Ensuring safe maritime traffic in coastal areas is important work. For this purpose, Coastal States establish Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) along coasts worldwide. Their primary role is to monitor and to organize safe and efficient vessel traffic flow and protect the marine environment. For example, VTS monitors ship-to-ship communication while providing useful information and instructions to ships. In recent years, the introduction of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) has been discussed in the maritime industry and several trials were made as part of research and development (R&D). Although potential benefits of MASS are acknowledged, there are a number of challenges anticipated, including the role of VTSs. The composition of maritime traffic was always a mixture of ships equipped according to the requirements with either conventional, modern or high sophisticated, partly- or fully automated systems. The future of maritime traffic will continue monitoring and managing mixed traffic scenarios at least for a longer period, if not forever. VTS must integrate and absorb the handling of new and complex traffic situations. There will be unstaffed fully autonomously ships or remote controlled by a shore control centre (SCC). This requires the development of appropriate operational procedures to ensure the safe and efficient traffic flow.This paper will present results from experimental trials using full-mission VTS simulation of future scenarios with mixed maritime traffic from the perspective of experienced VTS operators. While current research very much focusses on technical aspects of automation and digitalization and the feasibility and reliability of MASS, the focus of this research is based on aspects of operational integration and the handling of mixed traffic situations in the coastal areas. The systematic development and implementation of mixed traffic scenarios in simulated real world environment will be presented. Ongoing pilot studies using series of experimental simulation trials, entry questionnaires and follow-up focus group discussions after simulation runs will be introduced. Outcomes and first results in terms of the identification of administrative and organizational needs as well as related future requirements for training and for technical support systems will be presented and discussed. An outlook will provide a strategy for the further research work to be done.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Over the past few years, many communications were made by robot manufacturers showing inspection robot prototypes on production sites. As the first autonomous and explosion proof inspection robots become commercial, and even if oil & gas operators are more and more interested, many have difficulty seeing how value can be generated with this new tool. This paper will describe TotalEnergies' journey towards robot implementation on site. TotalEnergies' use of robotics on site comes from a vision of a new operating philosophy where sites will be unattended for very long periods. Based on the activities that need to be done between human interventions, TotalEnergies engaged in the development of different types of robots. Even though robots are new tools, they must comply with existing operating procedures as much as possible to be adopted by field operations teams. Among the points that require special attention for efficient operations, are robot capabilities, mission planning, data post-processing and full integration of the robots into the company's IT systems. The best way to get robots fit for purpose for an oil & gas operator is to be able to weigh in on the robots' specifications by providing the manufacturer challenging use cases. Doing so, features like explosion proof design, autonomy, long arm and more become obvious. Expectations from field operators are quite high when a robot is on site. They imagine that the robot will "start doing things", not realizing that the robot is an empty shell even if it is autonomous. To prepare operations with robots, a digital model of the installation must be available, and a maintenance/operation engineering exercise must be done to highlight the step-by-step instructions that will be given to the robots. The difficulty with the data collected by the robot is that it can rarely be used directly as we do for numerical values coming from transmitters. In most cases, the interesting information like a value, a status open/close or on/off, needs to be extracted from an image, a video or another support by artificial intelligence. Finally, the robot cannot be an independent piece of equipment on site and must be treated like any other package by the site control system. Starting with TotalEnergies' roadmap on robotics, the paper will give feedback on various field trials from different sites, combining altogether nearly one thousand missions. Then, a focus will be made on how to prepare and integrate robotics operations on site to be able to scale up and open this new frontier for improved safety, reduced environmental footprint and costs and increased production efficiency.

Full textAbstract:
As the offshore energy sector looks to fully implement resident, autonomous, robotic, digital systems offshore, one missing piece of the puzzle is remote power generation. Further complicating these efforts are the owner/operators’ move towards net zero operations. The combination represents a significant dilemma for the offshore energy industry: if gensets and topside vessels are not appropriate or practical power sources for future resident systems, how will these needed cost and carbon-saving innovations come to market and get deployed in the field? Objectives/Scope The proposed paper will provide an overview of a new platform solution, an autonomous offshore power system (AOPS), that looks to complete the puzzle. A number of AOPS’ are under development world-wide. The paper will review the state-of-the-art, including the SeaRAY AOPS, which will undergo sea trials off the coast of Marine Corp Base Hawaii, on Oahu, Hawaii, USA. The sea trials are expected to last for six months. Note: Because of COVID-related delays, the sea trials originally planned for late 2020 will now start in 2Q21. The August presentation at OTC will include the latest information available on the sea trials and co-deployed payload testing. Methods, Procedures, Process The SeaRAY AOPS is the result of a project co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Navy, and C·Power, to design, build, and test a novel AOPS technology. The SeaRAY AOPS provides kW-scale power generation, energy storage, and real-time data and communications capabilities for remote, offshore systems, including unmanned subsea and surface vehicles (e.g., AUVs, ROVs, USVs), sensor payloads (e.g., environmental monitoring or methane emissions) and operating equipment (e.g., emergency power for failed/failing umbilical, field modernization, or redundant power for BOP systems). Satisfying the need for cleaner operations, the SeaRAY and other AOPS devices capture and convert ocean energy into electricity to charge the energy storage system. The payloads, in turn, receive their power from the intermediate energy storage system, allowing campaign-based or extended residency. Results, Observations, Conclusions The paper will review the initial results from the planning, permitting, deployment, operation, and maintenance of the SeaRAY AOPS and the co-deployed sensor and vehicle payloads, which include a seafloor acoustical environmental monitoring system and a hybrid AUV. Novel/Additive Information: The market impact of AOPS’ for the offshore energy industry can be significant, as the class of systems is intended to enable reductions in operational costs, carbon emissions, and complexity, while enabling a fuller implementation of autonomous and semi-autonomous resident systems. The paper will outline these features and benefits for the offshore energy industry, along with the results to-date of the novel SeaRAY AOPS’ sea trials.

The main mission of this project is to improve the professional skills of first year students and to measure their motivation, focus on self-learning and professionalism. For that, the professor uses The TED methodology as a great tool to develop these essential competences and introduces the student as the protagonist of the self- learning process. The TED tool was created to disseminate scientific results of great researchers. It has now become a system of scientific and social dissemination, used to improve formal and informal learning. Also, one of the skills that Spanish people need to work on is their communication skills and these kinds of projects are based on the effective communication competences and others that increase the motivation of students to self-learn and ask about newly acquired knowledge. This educational innovation project tries to use these tools to improve the professional and academic skills and reinforce the human dimension of students and the factor to motivate them to study and learn. It has been evaluated and with the advice of a mentor (subject teacher). The project has been evaluated using a quantitative and qualitative method and the conclusions are interesting because the students recommend it and indicates that their has been an improvement on skills, motivation, values and knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
A ship is a complex system that utilizes multiple mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems during its operation. All these systems can generate noise and vibration, which if not properly addressed during design and construction may cause passenger and crew discomfort, safety issues related to degradation in voice communications, and even structural damage. The noise and vibration generated by a ship is a direct reflection of the quality of the design and construction of the vessel; lower noise and vibration environments will improve passenger experiences, improve quality of life and retention of the crew, and increase mission effectiveness. However, a vessel’s noise and vibration do not need to be left to chance. Engineering tools and processes can be used throughout the vessel’s design and construction which will produce a vessel with low noise and vibration. This paper presents a case study of the three new Staten Island OLLIS Class Ferries built by Eastern Shipbuilding Group. Pertinent details of the acoustic design and support efforts performed during Detail Design, construction, and delivery are provided. Early in the Detail Design phase, predictions were performed that identified several potential issues with meeting the desired noise and vibration goals. Various efforts were performed to identify appropriate means for mitigation using computer aided design tools. Solutions were developed to allow the vessel to meet its acoustic objectives, though it was known that noise and vibration would be very close to the limits. Various efforts were also performed during construction and compliance testing at sea trials to help the vessel meet its objectives, including ‘tuning’ of the propulsion system and the identification of an odd bearing issue that caused elevated noise. This paper describes the modeling, design, construction support, and testing efforts that were performed, along with details of the primary issues that were identified and solutions.

"A New Generation of LWD Geosteering Electromagnetic Resistivity Tool Providing Multi-Layered Bed Boundary Detection, Anisotropy Determination, and Azimuthal Resistivity Measurements for Accurate Well Placement and Formation Evaluation." In 2022 SPWLA 63rd Annual Symposium. Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.30632/spwla-2022-0049.
Full textAbstract:
Over the past few years, ultra-deep electromagnetic (EM) resistivity tools have been primarily used to enable proactive geosteering and reservoir mapping. The ability to detect formation properties with a depth of investigation from 25 to 225 ft away from a wellbore enables optimization of well placement and helps to maximize reservoir exposure. As a result of the low frequencies and long spacings used by ultra-deep-reading tools, the corresponding inversion cannot resolve thinly bedded layers near the wellbore. Conventional azimuthal resistivity tools are then used to evaluate such missing details from the ultra-deep tools. Still, the conventional tools do not completely close the technology gap of providing high-fidelity, multilayer bed-boundary detection near the wellbore because of hardware limitations. A new generation of logging-while-drilling (LWD) geosteering resistivity tool is introduced, adopting enhanced antenna designs from the ultra-deep EM resistivity tool and comprising a shallow and a deep antenna collar. The shallow collar contains an antenna array of multiple coaxial transmitters and tilted receivers to produce azimuthal resistivities and geosignals. In addition, a pair of co-located, tilted transmitters enable formation anisotropy determination at any wellbore deviation. The deep collar is equipped with two tilted transmitters. By connecting the two collars, the system can detect formation bed boundaries within the range of 1 to 30 ft away from the wellbore, depending on the selected operating frequency and transmitter-to-receiver spacing. This paper discusses the design principle of the new generation resistivity tool. The design has three major advantages over existing resistivity technologies: tool measurements have a detection range of up to 30 ft to a formation bed boundary with a favorable resistivity contrast; the corresponding distance-to-bed-boundary (DTBB) inversion achieves very high resolution of thin layers near the wellbore; and the tool measures formation anisotropy and dip at any wellbore deviation. In addition, it provides greater signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in its resistivity and geosignal measurements compared to previous designs. Several field trials have validated and exhibited the tool performance in calculating real-time resistivity anisotropy comparable to a 3D wireline induction reference. The trials also demonstrated azimuthal resistivity and geosignal measurements that matched other LWD resistivity tools, and a detection range of 1 to 30 ft for the multi-layered inversion, which matched offset well logs and real-time resistivity logs. Inversion results from deep to very shallow provide the flexibility to address a range of geosteering objectives and improve the economics of field development.

Full textAbstract:
To design new and optimize existing paper and board material an understanding of how the paper making process affects the final paper properties and how we can control them is neccesary. There is a link missing between pulp properties and machine made paper properties. The aim with this work is to close this gap by proposing an engineering model which, based on furnish properties, makes it possible to predict tensile property profiles in MD and CD. Two series of hand sheet trials were made to validate and formulate the model. The purpose with the first trial was to validate that the geometric mean of the studied properties in MD and CD is constant and equal to the isotropic value. The second trial was made to find relations between anisotropies of the studied properties and the fibre anisotropy. The model was applied on a press draw trial made on a production machine. The strain and tensile property profiles were measured and predicted based on laboratory measurements on the furnish. The predictive capability of the model was regarded as fairly good, especially since the general behaviour of the paper properties was correctly captured. The deviation of predictions compared to measurements were around 10% or less for most of the evaluated positions and properties, except for MD tensile energy absorption index that was poorly predicted.

Full textAbstract:
The specific objectives of this BARD proposal were: (1) To determine whether Rxol can recognize AacavrRxo1 to trigger BFB disease resistance in stable transgenic watermelon plants. (2) To determine the distribution of Aac-avrRxo1 in a global population of Aae and to characterize the biological function of Aac-avrRxo1. (3) To characterize other TIS effectors of Aae and to identify plant R gene(s) that can recognize conserved TIS effectors of this pathogen. Background to the topic: Bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) of cucurbits, caused by Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli (Aae), is a devastating disease that affects watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and melon (Cucumis melo) production worldwide, including both Israel and USA. Two major groups of Aae strains have been classified based on their virulence on host plants, genetics and biochemical properties. Thus far, no effective resistance genes have been identified from cucurbit germplasm. In this project, we assessed the applicability of a non-host disease resistance gene, Rxol, to control BFB in watermelon. We also tried to identify Aae type III secreted (TIS) effectors that can be used as molecular probes to identify novel disease resistance genes in both cucurbits and Nieotianatabaeum. Major conclusions, solutions, achievements: We generated five independent transgenic watermelon (cv. Sugar Babay) plants expressing the Rxol gene. The transgenic plants were evaluated with Aae strains AAC001 and M6 under growth chamber conditions. All transgenic plants were found to be susceptible to both Aae strains. It is possible that watermelon is missing other signaling components that are required for Rxol-mediated disease resistance. In order to screen for novel BFB resistance genes, we inoculated two Aae strains on 60 Nieotiana species. Our disease assay revealed Nicotiana tabaeum is completely resistant to Aae, while its wild relative N. benthamiana is susceptible to Aae. We further demonstrated that Nieotiana benthamiana can be used as a surrogate host for studying the mechanisms of pathogenesis of Aae. We cloned 11 TIS effector genes including the avrRxolhomologues from the genomes of 22 Aae strains collected worldwide. Sequencing analysis revealed that functional avrRxol is conserved in group" but not group I Aae strains. Three effector genes- Aave_1548, Aave_2166 and Aave_2708- possessed the ability to trigger an HR response in N. tabacum when they were transiently expressed by Agrobaeterium. We conclude that N. tabacum carries at least three different non-host resistance genes that can specifically recognize AaeTIS effectors to trigger non-host resistance. Screening 522 cucurbits genotypes with two Aae strains led us to identify two germplasm (P1536473 and P1273650) that are partially resistant to Aae. Interestingly, transient expression of the TIS effector, Aave_1548, in the two germplasms also triggered HR-Iike cell death, which suggests the two lines may carry disease resistance genes that can recognize Aave_1548. Importantly, we also demonstrated that this effector contributes to the virulence of the bacterium in susceptible plants. Therefore, R genes that recognize effector Aave1548 have great potential for breeding for BFB resistance. To better understand the genome diversity of Aae strains, we generated a draft genome sequence of the Israeli Aae strain, M6 (Group I) using Iliumina technology. Comparative analysis of whole genomes of AAC001, and M6 allowed us to identify several effectors genes that differentiate groups I and II. Implications, both scientific and agricultural: The diversity of TIS effectors in group I and II strains of Aae suggests that a subset of effectors could contribute to the host range of group I and II Aae strains. Analysis of these key effectors in a larger Aae population may allow us to predict which cucurbit hosts may be at risk to BFB. Additionally, isolation of tobacco and cucurbit Rgenes that can recognize Aae type III effectors may offer new genetic resources for controlling BFB.
