Full textAbstract:
Costs to permit Marine Energy projects are poorly understood. In this paper we examine environmental compliance and permitting costs for 19 projects in the U.S., covering the last 2 decades. Guided discussions were conducted with developers over a 3-year period to obtain historical and ongoing project cost data relative to environmental studies (e.g., baseline or pre-project site characterization as well as post-installation effects monitoring), stakeholder outreach, and mitigation, as well as qualitative experience of the permitting process. Data are organized in categories of technology type, permitted capacity, pre- and post-installation, geographic location, and funding types. We also compare our findings with earlier logic models created for the Department of Energy (i.e., Reference Models). Environmental studies most commonly performed were for Fish and Fisheries, Noise, Marine Habitat/Benthic Studies and Marine Mammals. Studies for tidal projects were more expensive than those performed for wave projects and the range of reported project costs tended to be wider than ranges predicted by logic models. For eight projects reporting full project costs, from project start to FERC or USACE permit, the average amount for environmental permitting compliance was 14.6%.

Full textAbstract:
The article is focused on current issues concerning administrative permitting activities, which are the part of administrative activity as a whole. The field of town planning involves the interests of both business entities and people living in a particular territory. Economic development demands the effective regulation in order to attract investment in the construction sector, while people’s interest calls for fulfilling the principle of sustainable development of a territory. Thus, the administrative statutory regulation must on the one hand imply diminishing administrative burdens in order to provide the transparency and promptness of passing regulative procedures, and on the other hand be sufficient for ensuring the safety and appropriateness of development of a territory. Construction is one of vital and the most complicated sectors of the economy that is primarily aimed at providing people with residential property. To erect a residential building one needs high-quality communication lines, transport and social infrastructure. Construction of industrial parks, maintenance of existing industrial areas and transport infrastructure facilities and creation of new ones, providing people living in dilapidated dwellings with new residential space, housing resource renewal – these are the first key tasks for the authorities today. The circumstances mentioned above entail the demand for efficient administrative control over town planning sector. In this regard, the scientific comprehension of the term “administrative permitting activities” can raise the level of understanding all management processes running on the economy system, as well as the issues of exercising the powers conferred to executive public bodies acting in the related field.

Abstract Hourly maximum fields of simulated storm diagnostics from experimental versions of convection-permitting models (CPMs) provide valuable information regarding severe weather potential. While past studies have focused on predicting any type of severe weather, this study uses a CPM-based Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model ensemble initialized daily at the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) to derive tornado probabilities using a combination of simulated storm diagnostics and environmental parameters. Daily probabilistic tornado forecasts are developed from the NSSL-WRF ensemble using updraft helicity (UH) as a tornado proxy. The UH fields are combined with simulated environmental fields such as lifted condensation level (LCL) height, most unstable and surface-based CAPE (MUCAPE and SBCAPE, respectively), and multifield severe weather parameters such as the significant tornado parameter (STP). Varying thresholds of 2–5-km updraft helicity were tested with differing values of σ in the Gaussian smoother that was used to derive forecast probabilities, as well as different environmental information, with the aim of maximizing both forecast skill and reliability. The addition of environmental information improved the reliability and the critical success index (CSI) while slightly degrading the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve across all UH thresholds and σ values. The probabilities accurately reflected the location of tornado reports, and three case studies demonstrate value to forecasters. Based on initial tests, four sets of tornado probabilities were chosen for evaluation by participants in the 2015 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Hazardous Weather Testbed Spring Forecasting Experiment from 4 May to 5 June 2015. Participants found the probabilities useful and noted an overforecasting tendency.

Abstract This study examines the subduction of the Subantarctic Mode Water in the Indian Ocean in an ocean–atmosphere coupled model in which the ocean component is eddy permitting. The purpose is to assess how sensitive the simulated mode water is to the horizontal resolution in the ocean by comparing with a coarse-resolution ocean coupled model. Subduction of water mass is principally set by the depth of the winter mixed layer. It is found that the path of the Agulhas Current system in the model with an eddy-permitting ocean is different from that with a coarse-resolution ocean. This results in a greater surface heat loss over the Agulhas Return Current and a deeper winter mixed layer downstream in the eddy-permitting ocean coupled model. The winter mixed layer depth in the eddy-permitting ocean compares well to the observations, whereas the winter mixed layer depth in the coarse-resolution ocean coupled model is too shallow and has the wrong spatial structure. To quantify the impacts of different winter mixed depths on the subduction, a way to diagnose local subduction is proposed that includes eddy subduction. It shows that the subduction in the eddy-permitting model is closer to the observations in terms of the magnitudes and the locations. Eddies in the eddy-permitting ocean are found to 1) increase stratification and thus oppose the densification by northward Ekman flow and 2) increase subduction locally. These effects of eddies are not well reproduced by the eddy parameterization in the coarse-resolution ocean coupled model.

The article analyzes the state of legal support for compliance with the requirements of the permitting system of the Internal Affairs. The focus is on the problematic issues that arise in the activities of the National Police in exercising such control. According to the results of the study, in order to improve the legal support of control over the observance of the requirements of the permitting system of the Internal Affairs bodies, it is proposed: 1) introduction of an approach that will provide for the authorized bodies (units) of the National Police to conduct scheduled and unscheduled inspections of compliance with the permitting system (including the establishment of an exhaustive list of grounds for unscheduled inspections), as well as detailed regulation of preparatory actions of these bodies (units) conducting such inspections; 2) consolidation of the powers of the police to apply such a measure to respond to violations of the rules at the facilities of the permitting system, as the suspension of the operation of the facility until the identified violations are eliminated; 3) specification of the provisions of the legislation regarding the range of persons in whose presence the inspections of compliance with the requirements of the permitting system are to be carried out, including employees of enterprises, institutions, organizations, natural persons-entrepreneurs responsible for acquisition (storage, transportation) of items, materials and substances covered by the permitting system; 4) determination of the procedure for seizure by the police of weapons, other items and materials covered by the permitting system, in case of detection of violations threatening public safety at the objects of the permitting system; 5) establishment of rules aimed at coordinating the activities of the National Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in monitoring compliance by business entities with the permitting system and compliance with licensing conditions for relevant economic activities in order to prevent these bodies from carrying out state control measures the same issues.

Abstract During the spring 2011 season, a real-time continuously cycled ensemble data assimilation system using the Advanced Research version of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) coupled with the Data Assimilation Research Testbed toolkit provided initial and boundary conditions for deterministic convection-permitting forecasts, also using WRF, over the eastern two-thirds of the conterminous United States (CONUS). In this study the authors evaluate the mesoscale assimilation system and the convection-permitting forecasts, at 15- and 3-km grid spacing, respectively. Experiments employing different physics options within the continuously cycled ensemble data assimilation system are shown to lead to differences in the mean mesoscale analysis characteristics. Convection-permitting forecasts with a fixed model configuration are initialized from these physics-varied analyses, as well as control runs from 0.5° Global Forecast System (GFS) analysis. Systematic bias in the analysis background influences the analysis fit to observations, and when this analysis initializes convection-permitting forecasts, the forecast skill is degraded as bias in the analysis background increases. Moreover, differences in mean error characteristics associated with each physical parameterization suite lead to unique errors of spatial, temporal, and intensity aspects of convection-permitting rainfall forecasts. Observation bias by platform type is also shown to impact the analysis quality.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model’s ability to forecast convective morphological evolution is examined for 37 convective systems. The simulations used Thompson microphysics with 3-km horizontal grid spacing. Ten convective mode classifications were used. An objective score was developed to determine the accuracy of the simulated morphologies considering a normalized duration of each mode simulated and its agreement with observations. Rapid Update Cycle analyses were used to compare larger-scale preinitiation conditions to simulated morphology accuracy, as well as to examine how the WRF model’s skill at predicting these larger-scale conditions influenced its prediction of morphology. Two case studies selected as representative of the most common simulated morphology deficiencies were examined in detail. The model simulated cellular systems relatively well but struggled more with linear systems, particularly bow echoes and squall lines having trailing stratiform rain regions. Morphological evolution was generally better simulated in environments with enhanced deep-layer shear and cooler potential temperatures at the level of maximum θe. Weaker deep-layer shear, cooler potential temperatures at the surface, and quickly warming potential temperatures with height increased the likelihood of timing errors. The first case study showed that a warmer cold pool, much larger line-normal shear, and excessive midlevel drying were present in the model run that failed to develop a trailing stratiform region. The second case study showed that weak shear and the absence of a well-developed cold pool may have played a role in the lack of bowing.

Abstract. The 2.5 km convection-permitting (CP) ensemble AROME-EPS (Applications of Research to Operations at Mesoscale – Ensemble Prediction System) is evaluated by comparison with the regional 11 km ensemble ALADIN-LAEF (Aire Limitée Adaption dynamique Développement InterNational – Limited Area Ensemble Forecasting) to show whether a benefit is provided by a CP EPS. The evaluation focuses on the abilities of the ensembles to quantitatively predict precipitation during a 3-month convective summer period over areas consisting of mountains and lowlands. The statistical verification uses surface observations and 1 km × 1 km precipitation analyses, and the verification scores involve state-of-the-art statistical measures for deterministic and probabilistic forecasts as well as novel spatial verification methods. The results show that the convection-permitting ensemble with higher-resolution AROME-EPS outperforms its mesoscale counterpart ALADIN-LAEF for precipitation forecasts. The positive impact is larger for the mountainous areas than for the lowlands. In particular, the diurnal precipitation cycle is improved in AROME-EPS, which leads to a significant improvement of scores at the concerned times of day (up to approximately one-third of the scored verification measure). Moreover, there are advantages for higher precipitation thresholds at small spatial scales, which are due to the improved simulation of the spatial structure of precipitation.

Abstract Ensembles provide an opportunity to greatly improve short-term prediction of local weather hazards, yet generating reliable predictions remain a significant challenge. In particular, convection-permitting ensemble forecast systems (CPEFSs) have persistent problems with underdispersion. Representing initial and or lateral boundary condition uncertainty along with forecast model error provides a foundation for building a more dependable CPEFS, but the best practice for ensemble system design is not well established. Several configurations of CPEFSs are examined where ensemble forecasts are nested within a larger domain, drawing initial conditions from a downscaled, continuously cycled, ensemble data assimilation system that provides state-dependent initial condition uncertainty. The control ensemble forecast, with initial condition uncertainty only, is skillful but underdispersive. To improve the reliability of the ensemble forecasts, the control ensemble is supplemented with 1) perturbed lateral boundary conditions; or, model error representation using either 2) stochastic kinetic energy backscatter or 3) stochastically perturbed parameterization tendencies. Forecasts are evaluated against stage IV accumulated precipitation analyses and radiosonde observations. Perturbed ensemble forecasts are also compared to the control forecast to assess the relative impact from adding forecast perturbations. For precipitation forecasts, all perturbation approaches improve ensemble reliability relative to the control CPEFS. Deterministic ensemble member forecast skill, verified against radiosonde observations, decreases when forecast perturbations are added, while ensemble mean forecasts remain similarly skillful to the control.

Full textAbstract:
Numeric groundwater modeling techniques can assist water resources regulators pursuing prudent and foresightful aquifer management decisions. Unfortunately, the amount of time and professional expertise required to wield modern groundwater models often exceeds the resources of regulating agencies – even for simple modeling tasks that are repetitive in nature. In an effort to increase the accessibility of groundwater modeling resources, a server-based automated well permitting decision support system was designed. The prototype system allows a user to 1) input properties for any number of candidate wells, 2) execute an associated MOFLOW model, and 3) view relevant results of the simulation on a map such as drawdown contours and regions of decreased spring flow. The system extends the existing concept of automated well permitting geoprocessing, which involves customizable tools built with ArcGIS and Arc Hydro Groundwater geoprocessing components, by moving the geoprocessing tool to a server and creating an interactive web interface built with the Google Earth plug-in. Several strategies to initiate the server-based geoprocessing tool were considered, with and without ArcGIS Server software. A realistic case study was included to demonstrate the system in action. Such server-based automated decision support systems have promising potential to increase the accessibility of groundwater models, facilitating professional management of crucial water resources.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past decade the movement of natural gas drilling operations toward more suburban and urban communities has created unique policy challenges for municipalities. Municipal response is manifest in a variety of institutional arrangements, some more enabling than others regarding citizen access to public hearings. This observation lead to the main research question, “How are variations in citizen participation affecting policy outcomes?” The argument is made that institutions affecting citizen participation, in turn affect policy outcomes. If the general public is given access to public hearings, their preferences for longer setbacks will be taken into account and the approved gas wells will have greater distances from neighboring residences – effectively providing for greater safety. Given the paucity of research on the topic of natural gas drilling, the research first begins with the presentation of a theoretical framework to allow for analysis of the highly complex topic of gas well permitting, emphasizing the rule-ordered relationships between the various levels of decision making and provides a typology of collective action arenas currently used by Texas municipalities. The research uses paired case studies of most similar design and employs a mixed methods process for the collection, analysis and interpretation of the municipal level gas well permitting process. The investigation includes a complete census of 185 approved gas wells from four North Texas cities between the years 2002-2012; 20 interviews comprised of city officials and drilling operators; and archival records such as gas well site plans, ordinances, on-line government documents and other public information. The findings reveal that zoning institutions are associated with a 15% longer gas well setback than siting institutions and institutions without waivers are associated with a 20% longer gas well setback than institutions with waiver rules. The practical implications suggest that citizen participation has a positive effect on public safety within gas well permitting decisions.

This chapter argues that contexts and interpretations of Islamic International Law have shifted from imperial to dissident, and that the imperial-dissident divide is a necessary frame for assessing Islamic international law as a legal system today. Core legal concepts of territorial acquisition through conquest were elaborated at a time that laid the foundations for Islamic Empires. Importantly, the laws of territorial conquest were linked to the laws of property, taxation and trusts, which were key in keeping conquered territory divided or united. Conceptional interpretations shifted from the imperial to the dissident when territory was not to be acquired but later on defended against conflicting legal orders permitting foreign domination. This historic, paradigmatic shift from a law with a formerly imperial character to law as dissent might explain some of the existing dissonances within Islamic International law as well as between Islamic international law and prevailing understandings of international law.

Full textAbstract:
Mental health law discriminates against people with mental illness when it comes to detention and involuntary treatment. This is evident when we compare such law with that applying in the rest of medicine, certainly in countries with well-developed legal systems. Mental health law fails to respect patient ‘autonomy’ (or self-determination) in the same way as it does in the rest of medicine. Furthermore, a confusion between a person’s health interests and the protection of others results in laws permitting the preventive detention of people with mental disorders—probably uniquely so—on the basis of ‘risk’ of harm, without any offence having been committed. Though people with mental illness are responsible for a very small percentage of violent offences, they can be preventively detained—on grounds reserved for them—while people without a mental illness—equally risky to others or even more so—cannot.

Beginning with the idea that world civilizations are largely defined by the geniuses—and especially the “Big-C” creators who highlight their histories—the chapter then turns to how creative genius is distributed across both time and place, thus permitting both transhistorical and cross-cultural studies. Yet the sole method that enables such investigations is historiometry. After defining historiometry in terms of nomothetic hypotheses, quantitative analyses, and multiple historic cases, a brief history of the technique is presented. There follows an overview of historiometric research on creativity, an overview that touches upon creative geniuses, creative masterworks, and creative times and places. This treatment leads to an evaluation that emphasizes how historiometry provides the only scientific approach to studying creative genius of the highest order: those creators who have left a lasting mark on the history of civilization. This exclusive asset should encourage more historiometric inquiries well into the future.

Beauchamp and DeGrazia provide a moral framework meant to enhance the well-being of research animals—and thereby animal research. They offer six principles that they argue any reasonable person would accept as conditions for permitting invasive animal research. While some are implicit in the current regulatory regime, the authors’ framework gives individual researchers the ability to challenge committee and institutional decisions on explicit moral grounds. Although the authors have provided a useful moral framework that improves upon the time-tested Three Rs, their framework has important limitations pertaining to assumptions about human psychology—specifically, our ability to perceive pain in animals.

This chapter identifies the different types of regulatory or management authority vested in agencies by legislatures or executive branch officials. Each allocation of regulatory authority has a substantive as well as a functional component. This chapter introduces the distinction between substantive jurisdiction, the subject matter a governmental institution is authorized to regulate or manage, and functional jurisdiction, the various administrative functions an agency performs. Functional jurisdiction categories include funding; research, data generation, and ambient monitoring; information compilation and distribution; information analysis; planning; standard setting; implementation and permitting; inspection and compliance monitoring; and enforcement. Affording attention to functional jurisdiction, in addition to substantive jurisdiction, provides insights about the policy and value tradeoffs among available options for allocating government authority that may otherwise be obscured.

The chapter explores the influence of the British Board of Film Censors on these films as well as the reaction of the Production Code Administration, which reviewed each of the films in the light of its own criteria before permitting US distribution. At first, American censors simply scissored ‘objectionable’ scenes, but toward the end of Hitchcock’s British tenure, they involved themselves in decisions made at every stage of the production process.

This chapter investigates how interwar French musicians understood music making as an embodied memorial practice. Using archival sources such as soliders’ and musicians’ diaries and correspondence, concert programs, and journals like the Gazette des Classes du Conservatoire, this chapter demonstrates that Maurice Ravel, Marguerite Long, Nadia Boulanger, and Darius Milhaud were among the many French musicians who understood musical practices such as composing, listening, and performing as crucial sites for maintaining connections with lost loved ones. By situating these sources within the context of popular fin-de-siècle theories of corporeal memory posited by Henri Bergson and Marcel Proust, as well as spiritist and French Catholic memorial practices, this chapter shows how making music facilitated mourning by permitting musicians to recall corporeally the feeling of being in the presence of those they mourned.

The BIBFRAME model is designed with a high degree of flexibility in that it can accommodate any number of existing models as well as models yet to be developed within the Web environment. The model’s flexibility is intended to foster extensibility. This study discusses the relationship of BIBFRAME to the prevailing content standards and models employed by cultural heritage institutions across museums, archives, libraries, historical societies, and community centers or those in the process of being adopted by cultural heritage institutions. This is to determine the degree to which BIBFRAME, as it is currently understood, can be a viable and extensible framework for bibliographic description and exchange in the Web environment. We highlight the areas of compatibility as well as areas of incompatibility. BIBFRAME holds the promise of freeing library data from the silos of online catalogs permitting library data to interact with data both within and outside the library community. We discuss some of the challenges that need to be addressed in order to optimize the potential capabilities that the BIBFRAME model holds.

This chapter explains how a minority seized existing weapons with which to create new ones. And now, as a majority it confronts the groups it vanquished as well as defenceless individuals. One might expect an end to the panic which has spread to the rest of humanity only after things have run their organic course. In a community based on the notion that every individual has official status, permitting arbitrary actions against which official procedures normally provide protection, together with the seizure of property and spilling of blood, there is a sense that people will take revenge on those who authorised such things. One gets an inkling of this in the directives seen emerging every day, as if from the nightmare of total impotence—the recurrent complaint that unauthorized factions “repeatedly interfere with the state apparatus,” which could not have been created without them.

In Dlonguébougou (DBG), rapid demographic growth has led to a tripling of the village population, but demographic performance remains uneven between households and couples. DBG demonstrates the persistence of domestic groups, of more than thirty people, far larger than comparable households elsewhere in West Africa. Working as a farming group, a residential unit, and an economic enterprise permitting livelihood diversification, these households also generate children and descendants. Institutions are key to managing risks in an uncertain setting. Larger groups find it easier to gather the capital to invest in key assets; they face less risk from failure to reproduce; and there is greater space for individual income earning. In this patriarchal society, women and girls travel well-worn marriage pathways between households and villages. Despite the advantages of large size, households fragment because of conflicts over assets or women, or following the death of the household head.

Abstract This paper will highlight the advantages of multi-skilling intervention personnel on offshore installations. Crew members are from different service lines including Wireline, Slickline, Coiled Tubing and Gas Lift (completions). It will discuss how a multi-skilled crew is formed, specific scenarios on how they are utilized and how to develop and maintain the competencies of these personnel. Through Multi-skilling personnel there is a potential to reduce crew sizes up to 50% for some standard intervention operations. Multi-skilling personnel during the 2020/2021 global pandemic has become critical as personnel movements across regions have become limited or nonexistent in some cases. Reducing personnel on board has several benefits including lower personnel and logistics costs, lower carbon footprint of transportation of personnel, higher utilization of personnel, and motivating and retaining high skilled personnel as they learn new skills. It also allows for local personnel to be used for multiple operations permitting lower cost interventions to continue during a major global crisis.

Full textAbstract:
Power generation is well recognized as a major prerequisite for a country’s economic development. Nuclear power has become an increasingly attractive alternative in the power market worldwide due to several factors: growing demand for electric power, increasing global competition for fossil fuels, concern over greenhouse gas emission impacts on global warming, and the desire for energy independence. Protecting people and the environment is of concern to nuclear power generators. Thus, sound engineering design that provides adequate protection against natural and man-made hazards is of utmost importance. Meteorological parameters related to structure design and system operation are the extreme and mean values for wind speed, temperature, humidity, and precipitation, as well as the seasonal and annual frequencies of severe weather conditions such as tornadoes and hurricanes, ice and snow accumulation, hail and lightning. Inherent in ascertaining values for these parameters is the need for reasonable assurance that the chosen values and frequencies will not be exceeded during the expected life of the plant. All regional meteorological and air quality conditions are classified as climate site characteristics for consideration in evaluating the design and operation of a nuclear power plant [1]. This paper discusses the regulatory requirements, methodology and sources of data for development of the design- and operating-basis regional meteorological conditions used in preparing a Combined License Permit Application (COLA) in the United States. Additionally, the differences in methodology for determination of these meteorological conditions by reactor type (i.e., Advanced Passive 1000–AP1000, Advanced Boiling Water Reactor–ABWR, Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor–ESBWR, U.S. Evolutionary Power Reactor–U.S. EPR, and Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor–APWR) are explored and summarized.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Reducing well costs in unconventional development while maintaining or improving production continues to be important to the success of operators. Generally, the primary drivers for oil and gas production are treatment fluid volume, proppant mass, and the number of stages or intervals along the well. Increasing these variables typically results in increased costs, causing additional time and complexity to complete these larger designs. Simultaneously completing two wells using the same volumes, rates, and number of stages as for any previous single well, allows for more lateral length or volume completed per day. This paper presents the necessary developments and outcomes of a completion technique utilizing a single hydraulic fracturing spread to simultaneously stimulate two or more horizontal wells. The goal of this technique is to increase operational efficiency, lower completion cost, and reduce the time from permitting a well to production of that well—without negatively impacting the primary drivers of well performance. To date this technique has been successfully performed in both the Bakken and Permian basins in more than 200 wells, proving its success can translate to other unconventional fields and operations. Ultimately, over 200 wells were successfully completed simultaneously, resulting in a 45% increase in completion speed and significant decrease in completion costs, while still maintaining equivalent well performance. This type of simultaneous completion scenario continues to be implemented and improved upon to improve asset returns.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this paper is to introduce and demonstrate a new method for the topology optimization of compliant mechanisms. The proposed method relies on exploiting the topological derivative, and it exhibits numerous desirable properties including: (1) the mechanisms are hinge-free, (2) mechanisms with different geometric and mechanical advantages can be generated by varying a single control parameter, (3) a target volume fraction need not specified; instead numerous designs, of decreasing volume fractions, are generated in a single optimization run, and (4) the underlying finite element stiffness matrices are well-conditioned, permitting the use of high-performance iterative solvers. The proposed method and implementation are illustrated through numerical experiments in 2D and 3D.

Abstract A dynamic model for the vibrational motion of an elastic beam-like telescopic member is presented. In addition to translation, the elastic member is allowed to execute large reference rotation. The Lagrangian approach in conjunction with the assumed modes technique are employed in deriving the equations of motion. The developed model accounts for all the dynamic coupling terms, as well as the stiffening effect due to the beam reference rotation. The tip mass dynamics is included together with the associated dynamic coupling between the modal degrees of freedom. In addition, the devised dynamic model takes into account the gravitational effects, thus permitting motions in either vertical or horizontal planes. Numerical simulation of a mechanical system with an elastic telescopic member is presented.
