AbstractBackground: Mission statements have come to play an important role as tools for organizational value sharing.Objectives: This study aims to shed light on what types of values are highlighted in international airline alliance members’ mission statements, and whether there are significant differences or not.Methods/Approach: Quantitative content analyses have been conducted with the goal to investigate mission statements of 61 members of international airline alliances: Star Alliance, SkyTeam, and oneworld.Results: Frequency test outcomes reveal that “philosophy”, “self-concept” and “location” are the predominant components in oneworld, “philosophy” is the primary component in SkyTeam, and “philosophy” and “customer” are the focal components of Star Alliance. According to chi-square tests, Star Alliance members emphasize “customer” more often than others do, and oneworld members highlight “profitability” more often. One-way Anova tests with a post hoc analysis reveal that Star Alliance members cover more components than SkyTeam.Conclusions: The theoretical implication of these findings is that they reveal the existence of unique values among international airline alliances members offering a competitive advantage. As a practical implication, these findings will be helpful for international airline alliances and airline managers for comparative purposes.

Abstract:
An airline alliance is a group of member airlines that seek to achieve the same goals through routes and airports. Hence, airports’ connectivity plays an essential role in understanding the linkage between different markets, especially the impact of neighboring airports on focal airports. An airline alliance airport network (AAAN) comprises airports as nodes and routes as edges. It could reflect a clear collaborative proportion within AAAN and competitive routes between AAANs. Recent studies adopted an airport- or route-centric perspective to evaluate the relationship between airline alliances and their member airlines; meanwhile, they mentioned that an airport community could provide valuable air transportation information because it considers the entire network structure, including the impacts of the direct and indirect routes. The objectives are to identify spatial patterns of market region in an airline alliance and characterize the differences among airline alliances (Oneworld, Star Alliance, and SkyTeam), including regions of collaboration, competition, and dominance. Our results show that Star Alliance has the highest collaboration and international market dominance among three airline alliances. The most competitive regions are Asia-Pacific, West Asia, Europe, and North and Central America. The network approach we proposed identifies market characteristics, highlights the region of market advantages in the airline alliance, and also provides more insights for airline and airline alliances to extend their market share or service areas.

Abstract:
Abstract For the last several decades, global airline alliances have ensured their market presence in the aviation industry. Scholars have focused on the effects of alliance affiliation for airlines and what the competitive advantages of alliances are. However, these issues have been discussed in relation to operational aspects. The quality of strategic communication can be an important factor in achieving a competitive advantage and realizing a differentiation strategy. This study assessed the differences in quality of strategic communication between the three leading alliance groups (oneworld, SkyTeam, and Star Alliance) and a non-alliance group. Comprehensive content analysis was implemented using the letters of chief executive officers (CEOs) of 46 airlines. We found that the non-alliance group has more ideal CEO letters than the alliance groups, and the main topics and quality of CEO letters of alliance group differed. This study provides a novel insight into the competitive advantage of global airline alliances.

Abstract:
This article is poised to explain the significance, analyze and under­stand the relationships that are established between partners of a stra­tegic alliance. The analysis conducted was modeled on the example of airline alliances. Airlines decide on operating as alliances due to eco­nomic benefits which they would not be able to reach on their own. In the result of their cooperation, these entities produce beneficial syner­gistic effects. It should be noted that by starting cooperation within an alliance, those entities still remain competitors. The analysis provides a comparison of three largest airline alliances: Star Alliance, SkyTeam and Oneworld. The article contains a summary of the most important conclusions of the analysis.

Abstract:
Over the past several decades, the aviation industry has been reshaped, centering on global alliances, and these have grown exponentially. However, it is still not clear whether they are achieving sustained competitive advantages, and what are the specific competitive advantages of the three alliances (oneworld, SkyTeam, Star Alliance) arising on the customer side. This study aims to examine whether global alliance groups outperform the non-alliance group, how the three alliances differ regarding passengers’ perceptions, and what their competitive advantages are. A hybrid text mining analysis was adopted as this study’s method. Frequency tests, t-tests, one-way analysis of variance tests, and three-step mediated regression analyses were performed using 6393 ordinal and word-of-mouth (WOM) data. We found that the degree of passengers’ perceptions of alliances was low, the non-alliance group outperformed the alliance groups, and there were no significant differences between alliances on service rating and sentiment score. Only oneworld has competitive advantages that link to passengers’ service rating and sentiment score. These findings imply that alliances could not ensure competitive advantages that derive from customers’ perceptions, and although passengers partly perceived several selling points, their differentiation strategies are not successful.

Abstract:
Competition between alliance blocks is a new form of rivalry: groups of firms link together for a common purpose by means of strategic alliances, and competition between alliance blocks is superimposed on competition between individual firms. This paper focuses on alliance blocks in the RISC microprocessor field. In this field, alliance block competition is shaped by battles over technical standards. Based on an analysis of the competitive forces in standards battles, and taking into consideration the need for internal coordination within alliance blocks, we expect to find the formation of alliance blocks around the various proprietary RISC designs, with scarce linkages across blocks. The blocks will consist of complementary firms, including all the capabilities necessary to compete against other alliance blocks. The requisites of internal coordination, finally, lead us to expect alliance blocks with star-like internal structures when the central firm has either a very weak, or a very strong position. In intermediate cases, we expect to find alliance blocks with internal structures more approaching the characteristics of fully-connected cliques. The findings from a quantitative analysis of the network structure as it evolved in the RISC field in the period 1980-1989 support these conjectures.

Abstract:
Global alliances have traditionally been related to improvements in the economic and operational performances of companies, particularly in the airline industry. However, we still do not know the effect of the participation in this kind of multilateral agreement on the environmental performance of airlines. The main aim of this work is to analyze whether the alliance membership of airlines has an effect upon their environmental performance, and if so, whether or not the characteristics of the global alliance, as well as the business model of the airline, may influence this relation to a greater or lesser extent. The results of regression and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in a sample of 252 airlines (58 included in one of the three global alliances: Star Alliance, Oneworld, and SkyTeam) show a strong and inverse relationship between environmental performance and belonging to an alliance. The paper also shows empirical evidence of the influence of the business model of the airline on environmental performance. These results suggest important implications for managers facing challenges regarding sustainability.

Abstract:
Performance measurement in the hospitality sector is not only demanded on financial performance but also expected in the non-financial sector so as to create environment and business goals that are environmentally friendly. Sustainable performance in the hotel sector is expected to provide awareness and demands that hotel managers pay more attention to environmental aspects so as to enhance the hotel's reputation for being environmentally friendly, comfortable with customers, can directly improve services to customers so as to create competitive strategies and strategic alliances for customers. This study aims to determine whether competitive strategies and strategic alliances can play a role in improving sustainable performance. This research was conducted in all 4 and 5-star hotels in Bali Province using questionnaires given to 154 respondents with 125 samples (questionnaire returns). The method used was Structural equation model (SEM). The results showed that the relationship of competitive strategies to sustainable performance had a positive and significant effect, the strategic alliance relationship to sustainable performance had a positive and significant influence as well as the strategic alliance relationship by mediating competitive strategies towards sustainable performance had a positive and significant effect.

Abstract:

Background

Strategic alliances have become increasingly popular within the business world, they can be seen as a way to improve the total output of the firm. Over the last 10 years, the industry endured trying times, the most notable being the events of September 11, 2001. That event drastically changed airline traveling all across the world. It also showed the importance of collaborations in order to stay competitive. Star Alliance began in 1997 and has since then grown into

the world’s largest airline alliance with a total market share of 25.1%.

Purpose

The raison d’être of this study is to quantify and analyze the augmentation of load factors over time, in terms of distribution, as they pertain to capacity performance of allied carriers within Star Alliance.

Method

In order to fulfill the purpose, a deductive approach to the research has been taken. Furthermore, due to the nature of the data, a quantitative approach has been used within. Two hypotheses will be stated and several research questions as well.

Result

It can be clearly seen that distribution of load factors has transformed during the years. There is a shift in both the skewness and the kurtosis of the distributions that can be seen when examining the frequency distribution charts. The kurtosis increases and the skew decreases, measures that are positive for the airlines, while the anomalies of 0% and 100% load factor have remained stable throughout the years. A general increase in the average load factors has also been seen.

Conclusion

By analyzing the empirical findings, it is clear that the load factor of the allied members has increased and that the proportion of the denied boardings decreased in relation to the average load factor. This means that the alternative hypothesis was accepted in the first hypothesis and that the second alternative hypothesis was accepted in the second hypothesis. The research also reveals a generally increased mean which together with the changes in the skew and kurtosis lead to an acceptance of the beta distribution. Furthermore, higher load factors were shown to have a strong correlation with the increase in efficiency and decrease in overselling.

Abstract:
As empresas do setor de aviação sempre celebraram acordos operacionais,no intuito de racionalizar operações e reduzir custos. Com o cenário mundial cada vez mais competitivo e conturbado, a integração em redes de alianças estratégicas torna-se um meio eficaz e cada vez mais comum de sobrevivência e excelência. O propósito desta dissertação de mestrado é abrir caminho para verificar a adequação da associação de empresas em blocos estratégicos no setor de aviação às suas estratégias individuais, por meio do estudo de caso da VARIG como membro da Star Alliance. O desempenho da VARIG também é levado em consideração no estudo como variável dependente, ajudando na compreensão desta adequação. O estudo teve como foco a VARIG, maior empresa aérea da América Latina, e sua associação à Star Alliance, maior aliança entre empresas aéreas atualmente existentes. Dispunha-se de vários bancos de dados para alimentar a pesquisa, provenientes de órgãos e associações ligadas à aviação civil no Brasil e no mundo. Também foram analisadas as percepções dos principais executivos da VARIG (envolvidos em atividades da Star Alliance) sobre a importância das alianças para a estratégia da VARIG, coletadas com auxílio de um questionário semi-estruturado como instrumento principal. O presente estudo procura, com o auxílio de um novo ferramental para realizar análises estratégicas na perspectiva relacional, analisar as implicações estratégicas da associação em Redes e Alianças sobre os negócios e estratégias da VARIG.
In order to rationalise operations and reduce costs, airlines have always celebrated operational agreements. As the world scenario becomes more competitive and turbulent, networks of strategic alliances become an effective and common tool for survival and excellence. The objective of this thesis is to pave the way for studies that verify the analysis of the strategic fit of companies in forming strategic blocks in the aviation industry by way of a case study of VARIG as a member of Star Alliance. Performance is also taken into consideration in the scope of the case study, as a dependent variable, so as to better assess the fit at issue. The study focuses on VARIG, the largest Latin American airline, and its association with Star Alliance, currently the greatest airline alliance. Several civil aviation organisations and associations, located in Brazil and world-wide, provide useful data banks for the research. With the help of a semi-structured questionnaire, the study also collected data regarding the perception of VARIGs main executives (those involved in Star Alliance activities) on the importance of alliances for VARIGs strategy. The study aims at analysing the strategic implications of VARIGs association in alliances for its businesses and strategies, using a new tool developed to carry out strategic analysis from a relational perspective.

Abstract:

Flygbranschen är en bransch som är mycket känslig för omvärldsfaktorer. De senaste årens konjunkturnedgång, terrorattentat, epidemier, höga oljepriser samt rådande konkurrenstryck har resulterat i stora lönsamhetsproblem för många flygbolag.

Ett sätt att bli mer konkurrenskraftig och förbättra sin position på marknaden är att samarbeta i form av en strategisk allians. Idag finns det tre allianser i flygbranschen: Star Alliance, Oneworld och Skyteam. Den första globala alliansen var Star Alliance som bildades 1997. Företag har under många år samarbetat i olika former. Vissa forskare anser att ett företag inte längre kan välja mellan konkurrens eller samarbete, utan att det handlar om att kombinera de båda strategierna. Denna undersökning avser att ta reda på hur en strategisk flygallians påverkar ett flygbolag.

För att avgränsa studien valdes SAS och dess samarbete inom Star Alliance som undersökningsobjekt. Studiens syfte är således att genom en fallstudie undersöka hur ett nätverksbolag har påverkats av att ingå i en strategisk flygallians. Två intervjuer har genomförts, en med en person anställd på SAS med tidigare förflutet i Star Alliance och en med en konsult med mångårig erfarenhet av resebranschen.

Resultatet visar att alliansamarbetet inneburit en rad fördelar för SAS. Konkurrensen har mildrats, kostnader reducerats, intäkter och utvecklingsmöjligheter ökat. En av nackdelarna med att ingå i en strategisk allians är att beslutsprocesserna förlängs. Något som SAS dock inte upplever som ett problem då medlemskapet i alliansen varit av stor betydelse för dem.

De slutsatser vi har dragit av denna undersökning är att de nämnda fördelarna med allianssamarbete kan ha ett högt pris då det kostar att vara medlem. Vi tror dock att det kan vara värt att betala en summa då samarbetet kan vara av betydelse för flygbolagets överlevnad. Då flygbolagen även samarbetar med flygbolag utanför alliansen ifrågasätter vi strategisk allians som den enda samarbetsformen för att uppnå minskad konkurrens, kostnadsreduceringar, ökade intäkter och utvecklingsmöjligheter.

Abstract:
En företagsform som diskuterats och blivit allt mer etablerad under de senaste decennierna är nätverk. En utveckling startade då alternativa företagsstrukturer förändrades från en hierarkiskt uppbyggd organisationsstuktur till en mer decentraliserad sådan. På dagens marknad råder en allt hårdare konkurrens och anpassning krävs för att som enskilt företag kunna utvecklas och behålla sin plats på marknaden. Ett sätt att som företag bli starkare är att samarbeta med andra aktörer och genom detta arbetssätt komplettera varandra och ta del av betydelsefull kunskap och resurser. Syftet är med utgångspunkt i studiens valda teorier inom relationsmarknadsföring undersöka vad arbete enligt dessa teorier, alternativt ej arbete enligt dessa, skapar för effekter hos flygbolag inom en allians. Detta undersöks med applicering av flygbranschen, vilken är en bransch där många företag arbetar enligt en nätverksstruktur. För att kunna utöka sin marknad och nå nya geografiska områden samarbetar flygbolag för att kunna erbjuda sina resenärer fler destinationer och en utökad service. Detta leder till föredelar både för det enskilda företaget som för hela nätverket. Genom att arbeta enligt denna struktur medförs att konkurrenter istället blir samarbetspartners. Detta undersöks genom en kvalitativ studie med intervjuer av anställda inom vissa av medlemsflygbolagen i Star Alliance. Slutsatserna av vilka effekter ett samarbete enligt en nätverksstruktur medför är huvudsakligen fördelaktiga för de undersökta bolagen. De har visat en utveckling inom många områden med samarbetsrelationer till andra flygbolag som den största tillgången. Vissa brister har iakttagits i kommunikationsflödet inom organisationen men övervägande visas positiva effekter av arbete inom en flygbolagsallians.

Joy-Johnson, Louise. "How do clients experience the alliance when working with the Mental Health Recovery Star in rehabilitation settings?" Thesis, Canterbury Christ Church University, 2016. http://create.canterbury.ac.uk/14995/.

Full text
Abstract:
The Mental Health Recovery Star (MHRS) is a therapeutic tool and outcome measure, used widely in the UK and internationally for clients and keyworkers in mental health services to jointly assess and work towards client-centred recovery goals. As such it has been recognised as potentially offering a means of building a positive working alliance between clients and workers. The alliance is increasingly being highlighted as a key common factor across therapeutic models that may underpin positive clinical outcomes. This study employed Grounded Theory Methods to explore the alliance within the context of using the MHRS in rehabilitation mental health services. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with ten clients and four workers across three services. The findings are presented in a theoretical model that explains the core category that emerged from this study – “being engaged in working together towards improved wellbeing”. Working with the MHRS was seen to inform three particular alliance processes: collaborative working; negotiating new or shared perspectives; and motivation towards improved wellbeing. The findings also highlighted challenges that can hinder these processes when using the MHRS, calling for improvements in practices of negotiation and better support for workers. Further clinical implications alongside avenues for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
Background: Research suggests that forensic mental health services and staff can play an important role in the recognition and intervention with attachment-related behaviours to promote engagement and recovery. There is a lack of literature exploring whether the attachment needs of forensic service-users are recognised and, associations between attachment style and factors predictive of recovery. Aims: This study aimed to examine the extent to which service-users and keyworkers agree about service-users’ attachment and to identify whether attachment was associated with service attachment, working alliance, ward climate and recovery. Methods: Twenty-two service-users from low and medium secure forensic services, completed questionnaire measures of their attachment style, service attachment, working alliance, ward climate and experiences of recovery. Nineteen keyworkers completed measures of the service-users attachment style and working alliance. Results: There was strong agreement between service-users and staff for attachment anxiety (ICC=0.71) but poor agreement for attachment avoidance (ICC=0.39). Service attachment was associated with more positive perceptions of staff support (r=0.49) and avoidant attachment was associated with lower ratings of recovery (r=-0.51). Correlations between attachment style and service attachment, working alliance and ward climate were small and non-significant. Conclusions: A focus on staff training to support recognition of the nature and impact of avoidant attachment styles is indicated. The findings suggest that interventions to enhance staff - service-user relationships may be important for service attachment and indeed promotion of a recovery focused orientation amongst service-users high in avoidant attachment may improve wellbeing and outcomes.

Abstract:
This chapter opens with the signature of a secret share swap between Belgium’s two leading brewing companies in 1971. Under this furtive agreement, the dynamics of which are analysed in detail, the breweries see their domestic market share grow even more, to about 60 per cent, and continue the foreign expansion started in the two previous decades, in Europe and Africa. In Belgium, Stella Artois tumbles under the effect of reputation and product quality issues while Piedboeuf surges with the help of its star brand, Jupiler. These evolutions put the corporate governance of Artois and the secret association under strain. In 1987 the two companies end up openly merging under the name Interbrew, following a strategic rethinking of the group’s strategy, structure, and corporate governance as well as a destabilizing tax scandal.

Abstract:
Measuring quality in design-driven innovation is part of the larger subject of product design, supply chain management and new product development (NPD). In other words, better design and supply chain integration increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the production development process. In this work, I have studied the role of understanding the needs of customers and design approaches for new products through a combination of customer feedback and participation of designers in the first phase of new product development. Furthermore, I discuss why the incorporation of both designers and customer needs is important to design-driven innovation. In the second phase of this study, I present several case studies in terms of supplier-buyer relationships in order to find a solution that achieves a long-term relationship (the alliance-star model) in new product development, which is a crucial problem in the Blue Ocean Strategy. Finally, by presenting the CDFS (Customer-Designer-Firm-Supplier) strategic model, we show schematically the integrated-comprehensive process approach for creating a new innovative product from the concept phase through to the end of Product life cycle. This model presents the process of new innovation, which can ensure added value during Product life cycle.

Full text
Abstract:
Six of the southwest and western nuclear plants have formed an alliance to jointly apply and share in new technologies to increase plant reliability. Life cycle management (LCM) is an EPRI developed process to evaluate and select the best long-term maintenance strategies for important plant systems, structures and component groups. Both, technical and economic assessments are made to arrive at a strategy that provides the highest reliability at the least cost. Among those SSCs chosen for LCM are the Station Transformers, the Main Generator, Turbine Controls, Underground Piping and the Circulating Water System (CWS). The application of the LCM process to the STARS plants is demonstrated for the CWS. The process steps from information gathering, establishing component maintenance and performance history, failure rates and current maintenance practices to aging and technical obsolescence assessment are reviewed. Information sources for generic failure rates, best industry practices, PM and PdM technologies, aging/degradation and performance trending are discussed. Lastly, methods for the modeling and analysis of the economic parameters are presented. The results of the CWS LCM plans for four of the STARS plants are compared and conclusions are summarized.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper will discuss the objectives, challenges, and methods of implementing a system-wide pipeline automation project at Colonial Pipeline, focusing on the pilot project and early years. Currently the company is in the midst of a five-year project to automate and remotely operate delivery facilities, tank farms, and origination stations along over 5000 miles of existing pipeline. The end result will bring control of over 200 facilities into to the Central Control Center. Technically, the project goal is to install state of the art infrastructure to enhance safety and reliability, standardize to a common platform across the system, and integrate into an existing SCADA Control System. From the business perspective, the project goal is to meet or exceed typical industry guidelines for project management metrics, reach a unitized cost basis and provide a foundation for consistent and repeatable operations across the entire pipeline system. The Common Project Process (a cross-functional integrated project team strategy) and an engineering alliance are being used to define and execute the project phases. Colonial’s Engineering team recast itself in 1999 on the basis of establishing core competencies, leveraging internal talent and knowledge, and establishing an effective outsourcing strategy. This automation project is one of the first large-scale efforts to put this new model to task. In 2000, Colonial Pipeline and Mangan, Inc. formed an engineering alliance to capitalize on the strengths of both teams. Colonial’s pipeline engineering and operations knowledge have been equitably matched with Mangan’s project management, engineering and integration skills. The result is an energetic and committed technical project team, as well as a win-win opportunity for both sides. This alliance provides a valuable model for engineering team outsourcing and contracting. Except for original construction projects, it is rare for a pipeline company to take on a system-wide infrastructure upgrade opportunity of this scope. Success of the pilot project depended on integrating the field automation with SCADA system capabilities and developing both control center and human resources plans. The field hardware, the technical focus of this paper, is a small piece of the entire project objective; however it represents the foundation of the entire business model. Selecting and committing to a common controls platform was an engineering objective. The hardware had to provide a certain level of assurance that the standard model would be available both at the start and the end of the project, in addition to supporting legacy systems for future challenges. In summary, this automation project represents more than engineering and integration. It’s a combination of the talent, hardware, and vision which will accomplish the goal of the core business product — safe and efficient delivery of consumer fuels.

Abstract:
The 2010–2012 implementation plan of the European Sustainable Nuclear Industrial Initiative (ESNII), prepared in the frame of the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP), establishes a very tight time schedule for the start of construction of the European Gen IV prototypes; namely the construction of the LFR ETPP (European Technology Pilot Plant) MYRRHA will start in 2014 and that of the SFR Prototype ASTRID will start in 2017. The GEN IV reactors pose new challenges to the designers and scientists in terms of higher operating temperature, higher fuel burn-up, and in some cases more corrosive environment with respect to the present technologies and which impacts the materials performance. In this frame, the MATTER (MATerials Testing and Rules) Project starts well targeted R&D activities to perform careful materials studies in GEN IV operational conditions and to find out criteria for the correct use of these materials in relevant reactor applications. Aim of the MATTER Project (that involved 27 partners and will end in 2015) is to complement the materials researches, in the frame of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) guidelines, with the implementation of pre-normative rules. The MATTER Project is divided in 3 technical Domains (called DM): • DM1 - Development of test and evaluation guidelines for structural materials: to develop/establish best practice guidelines for testing and evaluation procedures, which are aimed to screen and characterize nuclear materials for innovative nuclear systems. • DM2 - Pre-normative R&D for Codes and Standards: Prenormative activities are performed, comprehensive of experiments, to revise and update the design rules (with an EU level consensus) in order to answer to some short term needs of the two projects ASTRID & MYRRHA with respect to the design and the construction of structural components. • DM3 - Joint Program Scheme, implementation and Priorities: to optimise the effectiveness and efficiency of the EERA Joint Program on nuclear materials for innovative reactors and to support specific research activities related to fundamental understanding of ODS steels fabrication. ODS steels are considered candidate materials, in the medium-long term, for high fuel burn-up cladding application. After a brief presentation of DM1 and DM3, this paper mainly focuses on description of Pre-normative R&D activities for Codes and Standards (DM2).

"Inline Inspection Decisions and Results Using an Integrated Technology for a Baseline Inspection Program on a Large Diameter High Pressure Gas Transmission and Interconnect System." In 2004 International Pipeline Conference. ASMEDC, 2004. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/ipc2004-0100.

Full text
Abstract:
The Alliance Pipeline System consists of 2664 Km of NPS 36 high pressure transmission pipeline and 339 Km of NPS 42 high pressure transmission pipeline. The mainline systems are connected by lateral and interconnect pipeline sections ranging in diameter from NPS 4 to NPS 24. The pipeline system extends from northeast British Columbia to Illinois. The Trans border nature of the pipeline means that it needs to satisfy both the Canadian and US regulatory requirements related to pipeline integrity management. Part of the approval process for the pipeline system was that it had to be inspected on a regular basis with a baseline inspection program to be initiated upon start-up of the pipeline system in 2000. This paper outlines some of the unique challenges the high pressure transmission pipeline presented to both the operator and the inline inspection (ILI) vendor in developing a successful in line inspection program. It discusses the vendor selection criteria used by the pipeline operator and the design process undertaken by the ILI Vendor to meet the requirements of this unique pipeline system. By the end of 2004, the mainline sections in Canada and the US will have been inspected as well as most of the smaller diameter interconnect and lateral system. Results are presented from the ILI inspection of both the high pressure system and the smaller diameter system. While the inspections have used Magnetic Flux leakage (MFL) Technology to detect metal loss features, the use of integrated technology in particular the inertial navigation system aboard the vendor’s inspections tools has allowed geometric features to be detected as well. Lessons learned from both the operator and the ILI Vendor will be presented on the execution of the inline inspection program as well as discussion on ways of ensuring that the ILI process goes smoothly and if not how to address these concerns.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper describes the status of the Collaborative Advanced Gas Turbine (CAGT) Program’s initiative to commercialize interCooled AeroDerivative gas turbine (ICAD) technology. CAGT is a consortium of domestic and international electric companies, gas companies and research organizations. ICAD gas turbine technology was selected by CAGT member companies and potential suppliers in a competitive $5 million screening study of various advanced gas turbine options in the 1992–94 time frame. Efforts to commercialize ICAD began in 1994–95. The most attractive ICAD gas turbine options were based on high thrust engines produced by General Electric. Pratt & Whitney and Rolls Royce aircraft divisions. Simple cycle ICAD represents a new intermediate load gas turbine product class with costs and performance unlike any other product available today. Simple cycle efficiencies will approach Chose of many operating combined cycles, but with the low capital costs and rapid start times of a peaking gas turbine. ICAD simple cycle units would be in the 100–130 MW size range with efficiencies in the range of 45–48% + LHV and combined cycle efficiencies potentially as high as 60% + LHV. All efficiencies are presented in the paper in lower heating value (LHV). ICAD gas turbines will eddress a wide range of simple cycle, cogeneration. innovative repowering, combined cycle, distributed generation and renewable energy applications. CAGT members have several projects underway with the goal of the first ICAD unit to begin operation before the year 2000. Industry restructuring has reduced near-term demand for new generation in the United States with a corresponding drop in gas turbine prices. Given the large development cost for any new gas turbine product, potential ICAD suppliers have indicated the need for a launch order to proceed with development. CAGT is pursuing a number of project development and strategic alliance strategies globally to organize a launch order in the range of 10–15 projects. Efforts are also underway to examine options for demonstrating ICAD on a smaller scale (Small ICAD or SICAD) which would address the emerging market for distributed generation. CAGT members feel the low costs and flexibility offered by ICAD could be a significant source of competitive advantage in restructuring electric markets. CAGT members invite others to join the program.

Biffi, Elisabetta, and Daniela Bianchi. "TEACHER TRAINING FOR THE PREVENTION, REPORTING AND ADDRESSING OF VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN." In International Conference on Education and New Developments. inScience Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36315/2021end015.

Full text
Abstract:
Each year an estimated one billion children (one out of two children worldwide) suffer some form of physical, sexual or psychological violence or neglect (Hillis, Mercy, Amobi, & Kress, 2016). Being a victim of violence in childhood has lifelong impacts on education, health, and well-being. Exposure to violence can lead to poor academic performance due to cognitive, emotional, and social problems (WHO, 2019). The right of the child to freedom from all forms of violence is affirmed by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, in its General Comment No. 13 (UNCRC, 2011). Moreover, the Sustainable Development Goals contain a clear call to eliminate violence against children, most explicitly in Target 16.2 (UN, 2015). Many efforts have been made globally to achieve these goals. Schools have been identified as one of the crucial contexts for conducting violence prevention efforts. They offer an important space where children, teachers and educators can learn and adopt pro-social behaviors that can contribute to preventing violence (WHO, et al., 2016). Teachers can play a key role, helping to build a “violence-free world” (UNESCO, WHO, UNICEF, End Violence Against Children, 2020), both by promoting positive relationships and by identifying signs of violence early. In fact, while international strategies provide a necessary framework for the promotion and protection of children's rights, it is the people who can make a difference in the prevention and detection of violence against children (Biffi, 2018). Based on these premises, the paper will focus on how teacher training can help prevent, report and address violence against children. Teachers are often not trained on this: some of them know the contents, but have doubts about how to deal with certain situations. Teachers should learn what to do with students who have gone through a traumatic experience because children choose someone who can see and recognize them (Miller, 1979, En. transl. 1995; Miller, 1980, En. transl. 1983). To be able to really recognize the child, a training course with teachers is necessary, to raise awareness and help them see the signals that children send (The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, End Violence Against Children, UNICEF, WHO, 2020). This paper, through literature and presentation of a training course with teachers in Italy, will offer a pedagogical reflection on teacher training in the prevention, reporting and addressing of violence against children, in order to start building a common shared strategy.

Abstract:
Abstract Cooling technology for modern servers, workstations and desktop computers has just begun a period of rapid change. As processor powers approach 100 watts, longstanding limits on air cooling are being challenged. The most recent changes are in the heatsinks themselves, as the longstanding manufacturing process of extruding is no longer capable of meeting new performance requirements. This study focuses on the history of creating an effective organization for bringing the skive heatsink to market, concentrating on development of a start-up unit within the company and a host of relationships, both technical and business, outside the company. Metals companies in Japan have long been accustomed to the necessity of constant innovation. Heatsinks fall into the vague category of a semi-custom product — each customer has almost the same requirements, with slightly different exceptions to a standard part. Additionally, a product lifetime may be measured in months rather than years. In heatsinks, the high thermal conductivity, low density and low material cost of aluminum preclued serious competition from other materials. The computer market is dominated by large players but the size distribution tails off very slowly. 51% of the market is held by 6 companies, the largest with 14%. The remaining 49% features a wide distribution of market share and technical capabilities. This results in some customers with large staffs specializing in cooling technology, others with a small number (sometimes 1) of multidisciplinary mechanical/thermal engineers, and others with no engineering staff other than system integrators. The presence of other materials is increasing, as heatsinks for the highest power processors will soon need copper bases and, ultimately, two-dimensional heatpipes known as vapor chambers. This integration of components represents a significant departure from the previous norm of attaching a one-dimensional tube heatpipe to an all-aluminum heatsink. In some cases ownership of development and production is the responsibility of the heatsink maker, in other cases the heatpipe or, in the case of an integrated cooling fan, the fan maker. In order to address this wide and rapidly moving market, we have made alliances with makers of other electronics cooling components (fans, plastic housings, thermal interface materials), jointly developed products with computer and processor makers, and co-sponsored university research. This year (2000) saw a large-scale entry into the Gigahertz processor cooling market, with a focus on high level visibility at technical conferences and trade shows. As thermal concerns move from a final step in the design cycle to a initial consideration, educating customers about the potential contributions of the skive heatsink has become a major effort in our technical marketing campaign.
