Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to draw a portrait of the sleep environment of elderly persons living in private households and to determine its relationship with the presence of insomnia. A sample of 599 individuals aged 70 years and older responded to questions about the comfort of their pillow and mattress and the noise level and brightness of their bedroom at night and in the morning. They were also asked whether or not they shared their bed or bedroom with a sleep partner. The Insomnia Severity Index was used to assess insomnia severity. Over 40% of the study participants were using a pillow that was not very comfortable, and almost 30% said that their bedroom was not completely quiet. Binomial logistic regression results revealed that two variables were significantly associated with insomnia symptoms: a pillow rated as moderately comfortable to very uncomfortable and a bedroom that was not completely quiet. No other sleep environment characteristics considered in this study were associated with the risk of insomnia. These results indicate that a nonnegligible proportion of the elderly population endures a suboptimal sleep environment. Although it is difficult to predict the real impact of changes to the sleep environment, this study supports the proposal that simple, minor changes to the bedroom can promote sleep in the elderly.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractFor the Kasena, life finds in death both its measure and its renewal. Indeed, the dead survive through their descendants and in the world of ancestors. Funeral practices are very elaborate. They not only reflect the social, cultural, religious and psychological values and preoccupations shared by the group but are also a way of elaborating upon them. Social and cultural life is re-invigorated through a person's death and funerals, while the dead person is himself the foundation of his descendants' life.This article, drawing from fieldwork in the author's native area, focuses, in particular, on first funerals for adults. Detailed description is followed by the analysis of surprising similarities between birth and funeral rites. It then examines the ‘house’ or the ‘bedroom’ built in the ground – either in the maternal bedroom itself, or in a neighbouring field towards the east – in order to welcome death as an extension, as a founder in the depths of the survivors' dwelling.

ABSTRACTTwo hours of conversation among three children were examined for oral disputes concerning use of beds in their bedroom. Examination of transcript segments revealed that the children signaled a social order governing use of property and objects. The children were found to negotiate such use on an ongoing basis, and the form and content of the disputes differed dramatically according to whether the beds were being claimed for the purpose of play or sleep. The conversations reflected the ongoing construction and negotiation of social representations, within shared frames or finite provinces of meaning, for use of space and objects.

Full textAbstract:
This article describes an investigation into the noise levels which patients are exposed to in a general inpatient hospital ward in New Zealand. An initial noise survey was conducted over a period of nine consecutive days in order to establish the noise levels in the ward. It was identified that noise levels increased dramatically between 4:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. In order to identify the sources of noise during this period, three noise surveys were undertaken between 4:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. on typical weekdays using a microphone placed inside a shared bedroom. During the noise survey, an observer identified the noise sources and their locations for significant noise events. Noise sources were then categorised into three main groups based on the character of the source (machine, staff or patient). Staff noise was found to account for 64% of the total duration of significant noise events (29% of the number of events) which occurred during the observations compared with 20% from patients (43% of the number of events) and 16% from machines (28% of the number of events). It was found that many staff and machine noise events could be mitigated or eliminated. Methods for mitigating noise are suggested and an experimental method was used to estimate the likely reduction in noise which could be attained by moving a staff conversation from the corridor outside the observed bedroom to other locations on the ward.

Full textAbstract:
Using data from the Minnesota Twins Political Survey, this paper tests for the presence of unequal environments (EEA) by zygosity in political attitudes. Equal environment measures used include shared bedroom, friends, classes, and dressing alike. Results show an EEA violation at p < .05 in 5% of the models tested. The violations' impact on heritability estimates and their confidence levels appear random in magnitude and direction. No reasonable post hoc explanation emerged for understanding the presence of the violation in some items but not others. This article establishes reasonable priors for the absence of EEA violations in political phenotypes based on the tested environmental components. The findings place the burden on critics to present theoretical work on the specific mechanisms of EEA violations based on which additional empirical assessments could (and should) be conducted.

There's an old Ry Cooder song – written by Bobby Miller – entitled ‘If walls could talk’ (not the Celine Dion song), whose refrain is ‘Ain't you glad that things don't talk’. Archaeologists clearly wish things could talk because we, more than most, appreciate the power of things and the close relationships that exist between humans and things and their shared histories. I was struck by this one day sitting reading a book in my bedroom. I glanced up, looked around me and realized that everything in that room would be there the day after I died – everything. In fact my things would clearly outlive me, and regardless of what attachment or lack of attachment I might have to any of those things, I would not be the ultimate arbiter of their fate. That would be left to others who for a whole host of reasons might not share the same relationship with these things that I had. Most would probably be discarded while others might be kept. Those choices are just one example of the kinds of emotions and calculations that surround human–thing (HT) and human–human (HH) relations.

MH, a domestic cook who was 26 years of age, was charged with murdering her newborn infant in September 1931. MH had been “seeing a boy” who, she stated, “took advantage” of her on one occasion, procuring her consent to sexual intercourse by a promise of marriage. She claimed that she only realized she was pregnant during the later months of her pregnancy, but did not inform the father of her child. Her employer, suspecting that MH was pregnant, enquired on several occasions whether she could do anything to help, but MH did not admit her “condition.” Although her employer was aware that MH had no family or home to go to, she gave MH notice to quit her job. A couple of weeks later, MH gave birth in her bedroom at her employer's home; she did not call out for assistance or disturb the girl with whom she shared the bedroom. MH admitted in her statement that the baby cried after birth and that she “tied a white dress belt … around its neck to kill it,” adding: “I tied it [the belt] tight. I killed the child and I know I killed it.” Afterwards, MH put the body in a suitcase, cleaned up the bloodstains, and returned to work. The suspicions of her employer eventually lead to the discovery of the dead infant. The postmortem examination showed that the infant had been born alive, but had received no attention at birth; death was the result of strangulation. MH was acquitted of murder at the Central Criminal Court.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this systematic review was to evaluate whether children living in single-parent households have a higher risk of obesity. Of the 539 studies identified using keywords, a total of 10 original studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. The outcome measures included objective assessment of adiposity (weight or body mass index (BMI)), dietary consumption, physical activity, and/or obesogenic behaviors (bedroom television, elevated television viewing time, insufficient physical activity, and infrequent family meals). Overall, the studies found higher BMIs and obesogenic behaviors in children of single-parent households. Characteristics identified with this association is comprised of being most prevalent among girls and Black children. Possible explanations for this association include single-parent households having higher time demands due to the lack of shared household responsibilities. Subsequently, a reduction of homemade meals, shared family meals, and physical activity can occur. Also, lower incomes and higher instability related to living transitions may be other possible challenges experienced in single-parent households. Based on the limited number of studies found, further research of the obesity risk in children from single-parent families is recommended. The findings can help provide clinicians and public health programs with a better understanding of how to effectively target family-based interventions for this population.

Full textAbstract:
Home museums in Israel and Germany produce a representational space in which the public figure, usually a ‘great man,’ is effectively ‘dragged home’ to the so-called private sphere so as to make the domestic worthy of musealization. Based on three years of ethnographic research in nine such museums (four in Israel and five in Germany), this article shows that when the sphere most identified with women is represented through the life and work of the men who lived there, the place of the wife and children is sidelined, belittled, and at times concealed. In representing famous persons through material space and objects in the private abode, museal techniques determine which specific domestic areas, such as the kitchen and the bedroom, become the prime location of telling stories about women who lived in the house. They provide a shared perspective for visitors who find the stories about the wives endearing, recognizing home through them.

Die Festlegung einer Quote für den Anteil an Plätzen in Einzel- und Doppelzimmern in stationären Altenpflegeeinrichtungen wird im Zuge des Übergangs der Heimgesetzgebung auf die Bundesländer derzeit intensiv diskutiert. In den letzten Jahren ist der Anteil an Plätzen in Einzelzimmern in allen Bundesländern bereits ohne die Festlegung einer Zielgröße kontinuierlich angestiegen. In welchem Maß die Festschreibung eines erhöhten Einzelplatzanteils auch höhere bauliche Investitionskosten und ansteigende Betriebskosten verursacht, wird in den bisher vorliegenden Studien kontrovers diskutiert. In den hier vorgenommenen Untersuchungen im Auftrag des Bayerischen Staatsministeriums für Arbeit und Sozialordnung, Familie und Frauen wird untersucht, welche flächen- und baukostenseitigen Kompensationspotenziale in den Raumprogrammen aktuell realisierter Bauvorhaben bestehen, die bei zukünftigen Neubauvorhaben zu einer Erhöhung des Einzelplatzanteils auf 85% herangezogen werden können. Dazu werden Modellrechnungen durchgeführt und anhand derer retrospektiv untersucht, ob geänderte Konzeptionen sowohl im betrieblichen Konzept als auch in der konkreten Raumprogrammierung sich flächen- und damit auch Kosten reduzierend hätten auswirken können und damit zukünftig eine Erhöhung des Einzelplatzanteils kompensiert werden könnte. Die Maßnahmen werden hinsichtlich ihrer Auswirkungen auf die Pflege und Versorgung diskutiert. Die Ergebnisse der Modellrechnungen zeigen, dass in den aktuellen baulichen Standards der Neubauten der letzten Jahre durchaus Variablen bestehen, die den unbestrittenen Zuwachs an Fläche und baulichen Investitionskosten bei der Realisierung eines erhöhten Einzelzimmeranteils von ca. 85% bei zukünftigen Neubauten kompensieren können. Entsprechende Ansatzmöglichkeiten werden im Bereich der Größe und Anzahl von Bädern in den Bewohnerzimmern sowie von Pflegebädern, in der Form der Speisenversorgung sowie der Größe von zentralen Funktionen, wie z.B. Cafeteria, Mehrzweck- und Therapiebereiche, gesehenAs legislation on nursing home care in Germany is no longer a federal law, the former regulations are revised and newly legislated by the German federal states. In this context it is being intensely discussed if the percentage of single and shared bedrooms in nursing homes should be legally stipulated. Within the last years the percentage of single rooms increased continuously even without a compulsory quote. To what extent a higher share of single rooms causes higher costs in investment and operating is being controversially discussed in the existing studies. The following study was commissioned by the Bavarian State Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, Family Affairs, Women and Health. Focus of this study was to identify elements within the room allocation plans of the homes which could be redesignated in futures programmes in order to achieve a percentage of 85% single rooms within the Nursing homes- without causing higher costs in investment. Model calculations showed that modifications of the conceptual designs can compensate the investment cost in new developments. Influencing factors are the size and number of resident’s bathrooms and therapeutic baths, the catering concept and the surface area of common rooms such as the cafeteria and multipurpose rooms

Law and Economics is arguably the most influential and controversial scholarly and jurisprudential movement in the U.S. in recent decades. This chapter first presents the pre-1970 intellectual bedrock of the movement. It then analyses the ways in which the formative period of the movement in Chicago (1970–1985) shaped the particular interaction between law and economics that the movement embraced—namely economic analysis of legal rules. Next, it surveys the expansion of law and economics beyond Chicago, as it became more pluralistic and global, and the challenges to its coherence and viability in law schools. Lastly, it evaluates the prospects for more historical orientation, given internal challenges and external opportunities, such as the turn to empirical legal studies and the institutional turn in economics.

Full textAbstract:
Night Raiders: Burglary and the Making of Modern Urban Life in London, 1860–1968 is the first history of burglary in modern Britain. Until 1968, burglary was defined in law as occurring only between the ‘night-time’ hours of nine p.m. and six a.m. in residential buildings. Time and space gave burglary a unique cloak of terror, since burglars’ victims were likely to be in the bedroom, asleep and unawares, when the intruder crept in, prowling near them in the darkness. Yet fear sometimes gave way to sexual fantasy. Eroticized visions of handsome young thieves sneaking around the boudoirs of beautiful, lonely heiresses emerged alongside tales of violence and loss in popular culture, confounding social commentators by casting the burglar as criminal hero. Night Raiders charts how burglary lay historically at the heart of national debates over the meanings of ‘home’, experiences of urban life, and social inequality. This book explores intimate stories of the devastation caused by burglars’ presence in the most private domains, showing how they are deeply embedded within broader histories of capitalism and liberal democracy. The fear and fascination towards burglary were mobilized by media, state, and market to sell insurance and security technologies, whilst also popularizing the crime in fiction, theatre, and film. Cat burglars’ rooftop adventures transformed ideas about the architecture and policing of the city, and post-war ‘spy-burglars’ theft of information illuminated Cold War skirmishes across the capital. More than any other crime, burglary shaped the everyday rhythms, purchases, and perceptions of modern urban life.

Full textAbstract:
This book explores ways of thinking, feeling, and talking about homosexuality in the 1970s, an influential decade sandwiched between the partial decriminalization of sex between men in 1969, and the arrival of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the early 1980s. Moving beyond divided Cold War Berlin, this book also shines a light on the scores of lesser-known West German towns and cities that were home to a gay group by the end of the 1970s. Yet gay liberation did not take place only in activist meetings and on street demonstrations, but also on television, in magazine editorial offices, ordinary homes, bedrooms—and beyond. In considering all these spaces and individuals, this book provides a more complex account than previous histories, which have tended to focus only on a social movement and only on the idea of ‘gay pride’. By drawing attention to ambivalence, this book shows that gay liberation was never only about pride, but also about shame; characterized not only by hope, but also by fear; and driven forward not just by the pushes of confrontation, but also by the pulls of conformism. Ranging from the painstaking emergence of the gay press to the first representation of homosexuality on television, from debates over the sexual legacy of 1968 to the memory of Nazi persecution, The Ambivalence of Gay Liberation is the first English-language book to tell the story of male homosexual politics in 1970s West Germany. In so doing, this book changes the way we think about this key period in modern queer history.

Full textAbstract:
Stirring the Pot of Haitian History is an original translation of Ti difé boulé sou istoua Ayiti (1977), the first book written by Haitian anthropologist Michel-Rolph Trouillot. Challenging understandings of Haitian history, Trouillot analyzes the pivotal role of self-emancipated revolutionaries in the Haitian Revolution and War of Independence (1791-1804), a generation of people who founded the modern Haitian state and advanced Haiti’s vibrant contemporary cultures. This book confronts the problems of self-serving politicians and the racial mythologizing of historical figures like Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Toussaint Louverture and André Rigaud. The author denounces corruption and racism as hereditary maladies received from the hyper-racist slave society of the French colony of Saint-Domingue. Trouillot also examines the socio-economic and political contradictions and inequalities of Saint-Domingue, traces the unravelling of the colony’s racist economic system after the revolts of 1791, and argues that Haitian Creole language and Haitian Vodou religion provided the bedrock cultural cohesion needed to fuel the resistance, revolt and warfare that led to Haitian independence on January 1, 1804. Trouillot blends Marxist criticism, deep readings in Haitian historiography, anthropological insights, and skilful handling of Haiti's rich oral traditions of storytelling, proverbs and wisdom sayings to provide a sharp and earthy account of Haitian social and political thought rooted in the style and culture of Haitian Creole speakers. Each chapter opens with a line of verse, song or a proverb that pulls readers into a historical oral performance. Haitian oral tradition from popular culture and Vodou religion mingle with explorations of complex social and political realities and historical hypotheses. Although the Haitian Creole majority language still plays second fiddle to French in government and education, Ti difé boulé sou istoua Ayiti is a major contribution in the effort to demonstrate the power of Haitian Creole scholarship. Stirring the Pot of Haitian History holds a preeminent place in the expanding canon of Haitian Creole and Caribbean literature, especially as it shows how historical problems continue to insinuate themselves within the contemporary moment.

Full textAbstract:
Just as a house consists of a harmonious arrangement of some common elements (door, hall, kitchen, lounge, bedroom, bathroom, garage), so a presentation consists of a set of standard components (title, outline, introduction, message, conclusion) arranged in such a way that the audience can be informed, educated and entertained. The structure of the talk is important in keeping the audience engaged—a poorly structured talk leaves the audience confused and disorientated. And just as with architecture, there are some conventions. In a house, the main door is usually near the front of the house, the bathrooms tucked away at the side, the kitchen somewhere near the dining room, the lounge leading to a pleasant garden, the bedrooms upstairs and so on. Similarly, a talk usually starts with a title slide, follows with an outline, continues with the introduction, delivers the main message and reaches some conclusions. But sometimes, as with architecture, you may wish to depart, perhaps radically, from this conventional structure—for example, starting with the conclusions because you want the audience to know where you are taking them. However, as with architecture, you need to be sure that this departure from convention serves a purpose—to help the audience understand your message. Failure to structure the talk properly risks reducing your message to a pile of rubble—unattractive, unappreciated and soon forgotten. If the structure of the talk as a whole is like the architecture of a building, the structure of the slides is like the interior decoration of the rooms. Each room, and each slide, is different, but all usually share some common features. In general, slides should have a title which tells the audience what the slide is about, just as, for example, it is often useful to label the bathroom as the bathroom—obvious but, if you are new to it, helpful. The body of the slide contains your message; a figure or figures, lists, tables, pictures, etc. We will discuss the design of the slides in Chapter 5. We note here that the structure of the slides and the structure of the talk must be harmonious.

This chapter examines the idea of literature as magic-making by focusing on Marcel Proust's use of the term “magic,” along with its cognates “enchantment” and “charm.” Proustian magic comes in all shapes and sizes, but the preferred locales for conjuring the enchanted realm are dark or semidark, the domain of nightworld and shadowland. There are many such locales in the À la recherche du temps perdu, but the alchemist's place of darkness and silence par excellence is the “restful obscurity” of the bedroom, the world of sleep and dream, especially the liminal or threshold states of falling asleep and waking up, the midzone of the waking dream. The chapter also considers the ideological tenor of Proust's aesthetic, especially the posited relation in Le Temps retrouvé between art, truth, and epiphany.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 3 begins a discussion of competency to stand trial (CST) determinations. CST is arguably the most significant mental health inquiry associated with criminal justice proceedings. It is a “bedrock” issue in that the United States Supreme Court (USSC) has ruled that a criminal defendant’s constitutional right to a fair trial is violated if the trial proceeds while the defendant is incompetent to stand trial (IST). This chapter examines the initial USSC ruling establishing CST as a constitutional right, its underlying principles and the forces that likely shaped the Court’s determination, and why this right was only recognized relatively recently. It also describes the doctrine’s “public” face as shaped by a few highly-publicized cases, and why questions regarding defendants’ CST are not raised as frequently as they probably should be.

Knowledge Sharing Adoption Model called (KSAM) was developed in this paper using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). It investigated students’ Perceived Usefulness and Benefits (PUB) of Knowledge Sharing among students of higher learning in Nigeria. The study was based on the definition as well as on the constucts related to technology acceptance model (TAM). A survey was conducted using structured questionnaire administered among students and analysed with SPSS statistical tool; the results were evaluated using ANN. The KSAM includes six constucts that include Perceived Ease Of Sharing (PEOS), Perceived Usefulness and Benefits (PUB), Perceived Barriers for Sharing (PBS), External Cues to Share (ECS), Attitude Towards Sharing (ATT), and Behavioral Intention to Share (BIS). The result showed that Students’ PUB must be raised in order to effectively increase the adoption of Knowledge Sharing in this domain. The paper also identified a myriad of limitations in knowledge sharing and discovered that the utilization of KSAM using ANN is feasible. Findings from this study may form the bedrock on which further studies can be built.

Full textAbstract:
There’s no shortage of fear, uncertainty, and doubt when it comes to kids and computers. If your children don’t have access to a computer, the conventional wisdom goes, they won’t learn the skills they need to do well in college and to get a good job. If they do have access to a computer, they are at risk of being exposed to everything from predatory Internet creeps to spam, viruses, and lawsuits from the RIAA. There are, however, a few common-sense guidelines that you can follow to help make sure your children’s computer use is as safe and as rewarding as possible. 1. Make sure the computer area is set up correctly for little bodies. If you share a computer and desk with your children, make sure that they can change the height of the chair or keyboard tray, or even swap out your full-size keyboard and mouse for one made for smaller hands. Make sure your children learn good ergonomic habits early—they should take regular breaks from the computer. (There are quite a few programs you can download that give gentle and regular reminders to take a break.) 2. Keep the computer where you can keep an eye on both it and your kids. Many experts suggest that family computers be kept in open or common areas of the house, not in a child’s bedroom. This lets you be aware of what’s on the screen—an IM session? A game? A report for school? Or a questionable website? (FYI: if you see the acronym “POS” on the screen in an IM window as you walk by, it means “Parent Over Shoulder.”) 3. Spend some time using the computer with your children. Even if it’s only losing to them in their favorite game, spending time together lets you model good computer use. Show them your favorite Web site, or ask them to help you shop online for a present. Check the weather where you are, or where their grandparents are. Look up the lyrics to a song they like. Ask them what their favorite sites are, and visit them together. If they are at home while you are at work, IM them or send them e-mail.

The Children’s Aid Society (CAS) early childhood initiative is located in two of our New York City community schools, Primary School (PS) 5 and PS 8, in the Washington Heights section of northern Manhattan. This initiative was conceived as a partnership between the New York City Board of Education and CAS. The collaboration brought newborns and their families into the schools in which the children would complete fifth grade. The initiative began in 1994 and has been in full operation since 1996. Since then, the need for such a project has been confirmed and experience has provided insights into how a program for pregnant women and children through age five (often called a Zero to Five Program) can be effectively implemented within a public school. The CAS Zero to Five model connects two federally funded programs—Early Head Start (birth to age three) and Head Start (ages three to five)—to provide comprehensive educational and social services to low-income families and their children. The population attending the Zero to Five Program confronts the obstacles facing all new immigrant families living in poverty in an urban setting. In both schools more than 75% of the families are from the Dominican Republic; another 20% come from other Central and South American countries. The parents’ language is Spanish, and language barriers and acculturation issues result in social isolation. In addition, because many residents lack legal documentation, they are reluctant to access health and social services. The few early childhood programs in the neighborhood all have long waiting lists. A majority of the families share overcrowded apartments with other families or extended family; whole families often live in one bedroom where books and age-appropriate toys are scarce and there may be little child-centered language interaction. However, in spite of the difficulties, these parents have a drive to succeed and they understand the importance of education. By combining and linking Early Head Start and Head Start programs and integrating them into a community school, the CAS Zero to Five Program provides children and families with quality educational, health, and social services, after which the children transition into public school classes within the same building.

The health and state of the German economy has been the dominant topic in the European business press since at least 1994, when the post-unification boom came to an end, and with good reason. Home to 82 million people, it is Europe’s largest economy. But it has also been the slowest-growing economy within the European Union since 1994, averaging just 1.6 per cent annually, a period in which it has also lagged behind the United States in every year except 2001. The DAX index of Germany’s top companies has experienced a sharper and more sustained downturn than the stock markets in the United States, United Kingdom, and France, indicative of a growing malaise amongst the country’s largest industrial and financial firms (Smiley 2002: 4). Inward foreign direct investment has slowed to a trickle, and a large proportion of its biggest companies are diverting their own investments to production sites abroad. The country’s share of global exports has declined from 11.8 per cent to 9.7 per cent over the decade between 1992 and 2002 (The Economist 2002a: S8). Meanwhile, the national unemployment rate has climbed to nearly 10 per cent over the same period, according to German statistics (or 8.3 per cent using European Union statistics) (The Economist 2002b: S13). There is no shortage of diagnoses for what allegedly ails the German economy these days. For many in the same business press, the answer is seductively simple: Germany is ‘stifled by a hugely restrictive and intrusive web of regulations, and weighed down by one of the most expensive, inflexible and protected labour forces in the world’ (Smiley 2002: S4). While there is undoubtedly some truth to this assessment, it is also simple-minded in the extreme. This chapter provides an alternative interpretation of the roots of Germany’s economic problems by focusing on one of its bedrock industries: mechanical engineering (in particular, its machinery and machine tool industry). Tracing the evolution of this key industry from a point early in the 1990s when it first encountered a serious competitive setback.

June, when the snows come hurrying from the hills and the bridges often go, in the words of Emily Dickinson. In the beaver meadow, the snows are indeed hurrying from the surrounding hills. Every one of the 32 square miles of terrain upslope from the beaver meadow received many inches of snow over the course of the winter. Some of the snow sublimated back into the atmosphere. Some melted and infiltrated into the soil and fractured bedrock, recharging the groundwater that moves slowly downslope and into the meadow. A lot of the snow sat on the slopes, compacted by the weight of overlying snow into a dense, water-rich mass that now melts rapidly and hurries down to the valley bottoms. North St. Vrain Creek overflows into the beaver meadow, the water spilling over the banks and into the willow thickets in a rush. I can hear the roar of water in the main channel well before I can see it through the partially emerged leaves of the willows. Overhead is the cloudless sky of a summer morning. A bit of snow lingers at the top of the moraines. Grass nearly to my knees hides the treacherous footing of this quivering world that is terra non-firma. I am surrounded by the new growth of early summer, yet the rich scents of decay rise every time I sink into the muck. I walk with care, staggering occasionally, in this patchy, complex world that the beavers have created. I abruptly sink to mid-thigh in a muck-bottomed hole, releasing the scent of rotten eggs, but less than a yard away a small pocket of upland plants is establishing a roothold in a drier patch. A seedling spruce rises above ground junipers shedding yellow pollen dust and the meticulously sorted, tiny pebbles of a harvester ant mound. I extract my leg with difficulty and continue walking. As I walk around the margin of another small pond, the water shakes. Sometimes the bottom is firm in these little ponds, sometimes it’s mucky—I can’t tell simply by looking through the water.

Full textAbstract:
BP America Inc., Enbridge Pipelines Inc., and TransCanada PipeLines Limited recently sponsored a comprehensive technical review of the use of wheel and chain trenchers for excavating pipeline ditches for large diameter, long distance oil and gas pipelines in permafrost. The purpose of the review was to identify techniques that could be implemented to improve the productivity of trenchers in permafrost and reduce pipeline construction costs. This paper summarizes the key findings of the study. The study included an analysis of data obtained from previous field trials and construction case histories in permafrost, including the results from proprietary trials that have never been published. The study found that the primary subsurface conditions affecting the productivity of both wheel and chain trenchers in permafrost soil are: 1) the concentration and lithology of cobbles and boulders; 2) the presence and strength of bedrock within the depth of trenching; and 3) the tensile strength of the permafrost soil. With current technology, neither wheel nor chain trenchers can achieve satisfactory rates of production if more than 5 to 10 percent cobbles or boulders are present, or if hard bedrock exists within the depth of trenching. The study evaluated a number of techniques for improving the productivity of both wheel and chain trenchers in permafrost soil which may or may not contain hard inclusions. These methods included pre-blasting along the ditchline using either conventional blasting techniques or shaped charges. In addition, a wide variety of multi-pass trenching techniques were evaluated as part of the study.

Full textAbstract:
Accurate rock-excavation forecasting is one of the geotechnical risk factors that challenge successful management of cross-country pipeline projects. Pipeline construction personnel with local experience typically estimate rock excavation requirements for economic feasibility, permitting, and contracts. Where the excavation is paid on a “classified” basis, construction bid and contract documents typically call for excavation of “ditch” rock to be paid per lineal foot, whereas “area” or right-of-way (ROW) grading rock is paid per cubic yard. This paper briefly reviews the desktop procedure for estimating rock excavation quantities presented at IPC2012 and describes refinements to the procedure that expand its utility for pipeline project managers and planners. Input for the desktop study consists of digital GIS files of topography, geology, soil survey, pipeline alignment, and construction ROW layout and width. Publically available topographic data commonly has a horizontal resolution of 10-m; therefore, the pipeline centerline is subdivided into 10-m-long segments, the endpoints of which are used to summarize the data and perform calculations. Profiles of elevation, maximum ground slope, apparent ground slope across the ROW perpendicular to segment alignment (sidehill slope), and the relative sidehill slope direction are plotted for visual reference. A virtual geologic field reconnaissance along the alignment is performed using Google Earth Pro to supplement digital geology and soil survey data. Bedrock type is interpreted for general ease of excavation (granite versus shale) and soil survey map units are used to identify shallow cemented zones or bedrock that form the basis for an overall rock excavation index factor, which is expressed in terms of estimated mean and standard deviation of depth to rock and rock-like material. Rock factors vary based on the range of pipe size and ground conditions for a particular pipeline project or segment. Rock Factor 0 on a recent project corresponded to a mean-minus-one standard deviation (−1σ) depth to rock that was below pipeline depth, whereas Rock Factor 3 corresponded to a −1σ rock depth that was above pipeline depth. Refined rock excavation calculations consider equipment parameters (boom reach, track offset), trench configuration parameters (working pad width, bench offset, two-tone geometry), centerline distance to adjacent pipelines, and direction of lay, as well as pipe diameter and minimum cover depth. Desktop rock excavation results can be further refined by field examination and seismic refraction surveys to check depth to blast rock in trench excavations which is interpreted to be seismic velocities >1,220 to 1,370 m/s. Construction records of actual blasting details are needed to further improve the rock excavation model.

Sustainability is an issue of great importance in the building and energy sectors. In the United States, about 40% of total energy use is in buildings, 30% of raw materials are used in buildings, 30% of waste outputs come from buildings, 30% of greenhouse gas emissions are attributed to buildings, and 12% of potable water consumption occurs in buildings. Thus, there is a great necessity for the rapid deployment of highly sustainable buildings that are aesthetic and reliable. Solar houses are highly sustainable and can be designed to be reliable by using streamlined technologies, providing as much power as needed, and by minimizing the energy usage within the building. The US DOE Solar Decathlon offered a great opportunity to test these criteria which were at the same time the fundamental elements taken into consideration when designing the Santa Clara University (SCU) solar house in 2007 [1]. In this research the SCU solar decathlon solar house energy and thermal performances were analyzed. The energy and thermal loads were modeled using EnergyPlus™ software which helps to perform detailed modeling of the energy and thermal performances of buildings. The conditioned space of the building consists of two rectangular shaped zones, the living room and the bedroom, which together are approximately 45ft along the east-west direction and 11ft wide. Wood framing with R-19 insulation, made from recycled jeans, was used for the walls. The roof and the floor are constructed of a bamboo wood frame with foam insulation. Daylighting was maximized through active windows (i.e. electro-chromic), energy efficient appliances were incorporated along with solar thermal air conditioning, heating and hot water. Performance parameters for the mechanical systems were developed from conventionally available technologies and the control set-points were based on DOE Solar Decathlon 2007 (SD07) guidelines [1]. The thermal energy design decisions for the house were based largely on a combination of the solar decathlon contest requirements and that technologies were sustainable and commercially available. The house was tested in Washington DC in October 2007 during the competition and performed excellently well ranking at the top in the following categories: energy balance, thermal comfort, and hot water. Data collected during the event provide the unique opportunity of validating the simulated energy and thermal performances of the house with weather file created from the real-time weather data. The created weather file is used to run new simulations of the SCU SD07 house, from these results we can assess the accuracy of the simulation program used. If accuracy is high enough, annual simulations are executed to demonstrate how the house would perform under extreme climatic conditions in different regions.

Full textAbstract:
Ocean energy developments are appearing around the world including Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Norway, France Portugal, Spain, India, the United States, Canada and others. North America’s first tidal energy demonstration facility is in the Minas Passage of the Bay of Fundy, near Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, Canada. The Fundy Ocean Research Center for Energy (FORCE) is a non-profit institute that owns and operates the facility that offers developers, regulators, scientists and academics the opportunity to study the performance and interaction of instream tidal energy converters (usually referred to as TISECs but called “turbines” in this paper.) with one of the world’s most aggressive tidal regimes. FORCE provides a shared observation facility, submarine cables, grid connection, and environmental monitoring at its pre-approved test site. The site is well suited to testing, with water depths up to 45 meters at low tide, a sediment -free bedrock sea floor, straight flowing currents, and water speeds up to 5 meters per second (approximately 10 knots). FORCE will install 10.896km of double armored, 34.5kV submarine cable — one for each of its four berths. Electricity from the berths will be conditioned at FORCE’s own substation and delivered to the Provincial power grid by a 10 km overhead transmission line. There are four berth holders at present: Alstom Hydro Canada using Clean Current Power Systems Technology (Canada); Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co. Ltd. with technology partner Marine Current Turbines (UK); Nova Scotia Power Inc. with technology partner OpenHydro (Ireland) and Atlantis Resources Corporation, in partnership with Lockheed Martin and Irving Shipbuilding. In November 2009, NSPI with technology partner OpenHydro deployed the first commercial scale turbine at the FORCE site. The 1MW rated turbine was secured by a 400-tonne subsea gravity base fabricated in Nova Scotia. The intent of this paper is to provide an overview of FORCE to the international marine energy community during OMAE 2011 taking place in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

James, Mendos. "The Contract Regime for Unitisation and the Impact of Production Sharing Contracts on Joint Development in Nigeria." In SPE Nigeria Annual International Conference and Exhibition. SPE, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/208230-ms.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Unitisation has evolved globally as the best mechanism for the joint development of hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs that straddle two or more concessions or licenses. The concept of unitisation is underpinned by the need to avoid competitive exploitation of hydrocarbon resources, maximise its economic recovery, eliminate proliferation of production facilities and reduce development and operating cost.1 The practice of unitisation in the Nigerian oil and gas landscape has gained traction over the years with several straddle fields identified as candidates for unitisation and more than ten (10) agreements for joint development (both Pre Unitisation Agreements and Unitisation and Unit Operating Agreements) executed in the industry. This has occurred under a regulatory regime for unitisation that has evolved from the concise provisions of Section 48 of the Petroleum (Drilling and Production) Regulation 1969 as amended, to the robust Guidelines for Unitisation issued by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) in 2008 (revised in 2019) (Guidelines) in response to the complexities of joint development encountered by parties. While the Guidelines is an excellent attempt at providing a process for unitisation, it does not provide sufficient guidance on the contract regime for unitisation as the bedrock for joint development. A critical look at the contracts governing joint development in the light of global best practices is important to ensure that it meets in an effective manner the objectives of unitisation. A review of the contract regime for unitisation would be incomplete without recognising the impact that underlying contracts governing separate concessions have on unitisation. To this end, the posture of Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) on gas development in a unit is worth reviewing in the light of the benefits of commercialising gas to the State and the Contractor. This paper reviews the contract regime for unitisation in Nigeria as regulated by the Guidelines and the impact that underlying contracts (particularly PSCs) have on unitisation. The paper will proffer recommendations for inclusion in the Guidelines with a view to improving the process of joint development of shared reservoirs in Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
Heavy minerals (HMs) are minerals with a specific gravity greater than 2.9 g/cm3. They are commonly highly resistant to physical and chemical weathering, and therefore persist in sediments as lasting indicators of the (former) presence of the rocks they formed in. The presence/absence of certain HMs, their associations with other HMs, their concentration levels, and the geochemical patterns they form in maps or 3D models can be indicative of geological processes that contributed to their formation. Furthermore trace element and isotopic analyses of HMs have been used to vector to mineralisation or constrain timing of geological processes. The positive role of HMs in mineral exploration is well established in other countries, but comparatively little understood in Australia. Here we present the results of a pilot project that was designed to establish, test and assess a workflow to produce a HM map (or atlas of maps) and dataset for Australia. This would represent a critical step in the ability to detect anomalous HM patterns as it would establish the background HM characteristics (i.e., unrelated to mineralisation). Further the extremely rich dataset produced would be a valuable input into any future machine learning/big data-based prospectivity analysis. The pilot project consisted in selecting ten sites from the National Geochemical Survey of Australia (NGSA) and separating and analysing the HM contents from the 75-430 µm grain-size fraction of the top (0-10 cm depth) sediment samples. A workflow was established and tested based on the density separation of the HM-rich phase by combining a shake table and the use of dense liquids. The automated mineralogy quantification was performed on a TESCAN® Integrated Mineral Analyser (TIMA) that identified and mapped thousands of grains in a matter of minutes for each sample. The results indicated that: (1) the NGSA samples are appropriate for HM analysis; (2) over 40 HMs were effectively identified and quantified using TIMA automated quantitative mineralogy; (3) the resultant HMs’ mineralogy is consistent with the samples’ bulk geochemistry and regional geological setting; and (4) the HM makeup of the NGSA samples varied across the country, as shown by the mineral mounts and preliminary maps. Based on these observations, HM mapping of the continent using NGSA samples will likely result in coherent and interpretable geological patterns relating to bedrock lithology, metamorphic grade, degree of alteration and mineralisation. It could assist in geological investigations especially where outcrop is minimal, challenging to correctly attribute due to extensive weathering, or simply difficult to access. It is believed that a continental-scale HM atlas for Australia could assist in derisking mineral exploration and lead to investment, e.g., via tenement uptake, exploration, discovery and ultimately exploitation. As some HMs are hosts for technology critical elements such as rare earth elements, their systematic and internally consistent quantification and mapping could lead to resource discovery essential for a more sustainable, lower-carbon economy.
