Abstract:
John Sayles's Lone Star, released in 1996, repeatedly challenges traditional definitions of the nation as a strictly bounded entity through its depiction of the area that Américo Paredes described as “Greater Mexico” and Gloria Anzaldúa more recently referred to as the Borderlands; the film's promotion of a potentially productive love affair between half-siblings further challenges the status quo. As I argue here, however, while the film undeniably underscores the fragility of the nation in an era of global trade and travel, it also suggests the difficulties of escaping nation-based ideologies and interests. As I will show, Lone Star in fact highlights the ongoing importance of the nation-state through its attention to the institutions and individuals that Louis Althusser associates with state apparatuses, ultimately pointing to the fraught nature of avoiding the influence of the nation as a construct.

Abstract:
La Malinche, the mistress of Spanish conquistador Hernn Corts, has evolved from a historical figure into Mexican national myth that connotes all the negative aspects of womans sexuality in Mexican and Mexican-American Culture. Sandra Cisneros in her Never Marry A Mexican reinterpretsLa Malinchein a more positive light and points out how women sexuality can be the site for women empowerment.By drawing on insights from feminist theories on motherhood, marriage, and incest taboo, this study identifies the way Cisneros revises the negative image of La Malinche as a dupe, passive and submissive mistress. This study identifies that Cisneros has created a strong protagonist character named Clemencia, who exerts her subjectivity and claims for her sexual agency totransgress patriarchal construction of woman passive sexuality, imposition of maternal identity as asexual mother and taboo on incestuous relationship. Cisneross La Malinche is no longer depicted as the victim duped by the patriarchy, but as the survivor who is able to preserve her sense of herself in the dominating patriarchal world.DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2015.180103

Abstract:
Abstract While tracing the transition from the Porfirian dictatorship to a revolutionary state, this chapter focuses on three dance artists consecrated in Europe—Anna Pavlova, Norka Rouskaya, and Carmen Tórtola Valencia. It analyzes how these artists functioned as legitimizing agents whose work contributed to establishing mestizaje as the official cultural and racial ideology in postrevolutionary Mexico between 1919 and the mid-1920s. Rouskaya reimagined the Aztec as a figure of representation. Valencia’s indigenized dance, inspired by the Incas of Peru and performed in Mexico City, reflected Mexico’s position within a Latin American pan-indigeneity central to imagining post/colonial national and hemispheric identities. Pavlova’s performance of the folkloric Jarabe Tapatío en pointe consolidated the dance’s prominent role in the nationalist dance repertoire and the state’s project of establishing a mestizo state. Analyzing these artists’ mestizo modernisms reveals aspects of the colonial racial unconscious underlying the coloniality of modernist dance practices and artistic subjectivities.

Abstract A few miles from Los Alamos, New Mexico, stands one of the most remarkable astronomical observatories in existence, the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE). It is completely auto mated, steered by electronic signals received over the Internet. Housed in a military surplus hut (purchased from a scrap dealer) the size of a large closet, it consists of a cluster of four commercial telephoto camera lenses (200-mm focal length, f/1.8), each about 4 inches in diameter. Made by Canon, they can fit on an ordinary Canon 35-mm camera. At $4199 apiece (in 1995), they were too expensive for most amateurs, but just right for the professional sports, nature, or news photographer.

Abstract IN August 1944, at the secret Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, a twenty-three year-old chemist was trying to learn what he could about the properties of a radioactive metal. One year later, the new “product”-one of several code words for this three-year-old element with a classified name-would power the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. That day the young scientist, Don Mastick, was working with the entire Los Alamos supply of the material, 10 milli grams. It was sealed in a glass vial several inches long and about a quarter inch in diameter. Un known to Mastick, a chemical reaction was causing pressure to build up inside the vial. Suddenly it burst, firing an acidic solution against the wall from where it splattered into Mastick’s face, some of it entering his mouth.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses turtles, starting with snapping turtles. In the United States, the common snapping turtle is exotic to Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. A potentially abundant source of food for human consumption, this species has been transported outside its native range. Creation of artificial ponds has increased the rate of its dispersal. The common snapping turtle can inhabit most any kind of freshwater and brackish habitats, but it most prefers still water less than 36.0 inches deep, with lots of underwater structure. The chapter then looks at box and water turtles, including the Southern painted turtle and the Western painted turtle; the False map turtle; the Florida red-bellied cooter and the Northern red-bellied cooter; and the Red-eared slider. It also considers softshells, including the Florida softshell, the Smooth softshell, the Spiny softshell, the Wattle-necked softshell, and the Chinese softshell.

Abstract:
Abstract In August 1991 several amateur bird-watchers were encamped in southern New Mexico at a place called Rattle Snake Springs, just inside Carlsbad Caverns National Park. This small oasis in the midst of the parched Chihuahuan desert attracts a large number of bird species and had become a popular observational area. For some time the attention of some members of the group had been drawn to the sight and song of a lone, small olive-and-yellow bird about six inches long who seemed oddly out of place. Descriptions and taped recordings of its song strongly suggested that the bird was a yellow-green vireo. As far as anyone knew, the established range of the bird was from Central America to Mexico. In an arresting use of language, individual birds sighted out of their established geographical context are referred to as “vagrants.” One common usage of vagrant is someone who travels “idly . . . without lawful or visible means of support ... (as a prostitute or drunkard),”1 but the usage here is a pure derivation from the Latin root vagari, meaning to wander. Many circumstances lead vagrants to be out of place, and they are associated with different degrees of scientific importance. For example, the bird simply may have overshot its migration target, been blown off course by a chance encounter with a storm, or hitched an unintended ride on a boat or plane; or it may be in an active search for a new habitat.

Abstract:
A 36-lane-mile (60 lane-km) international roadway was rehabilitated in the United States of America (USA) during 2018 by the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) to provide uninterrupted long-life pavement performance for commercial users of the roadway. The southern border of the USA with the country of Mexico marks the starting point of New Mexico State Road 136 (NM 136), a four-lane divided roadway that carries heavily-loaded trucks associated with the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), formerly the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Truck traffic in the dual north- and south- bound lanes of this roadway is especially high on the 9-mile (15-km) section of NM 136 between the international border and an intermodal railway facility located in the USA state of New Mexico. Prior to this rehabilitation project, the structural cross-section of NM 136 consisted of 4.5 to 6.0 inches (110 to 150 mm) of asphalt on 5.0 to 6.0 inches (130 to 150 mm) of coarse-grained soils. Prior to this project on NM 136, NMDOT had very little experience with concrete pavements and none with continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCPs). The structural design for this rehabilitation project utilized the existing asphalt pavement as a satisfactory base for the CRCP by milling 1.5 inches (40 mm) of the existing asphalt concrete (AC) pavement and applying a 1.5-inch (40-mm) AC levelling course followed by the CRCP. This paper presents the design and construction related details of the NM 136 CRCP project.

Abstract:
On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oilrig sank in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in an oil spill of 4.9 million barrels, one of the largest environmental disasters in United States history. In response to this disaster, the X Prize Foundation sponsored the Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup X Challenge, with a one million dollar top prize for engineers to develop better ways to clean up oil after an offshore oil spill. Inspired by the oil spill cleanup challenge, a class project was developed for students in a junior-level fluid mechanics course to develop and implement an oil-spill cleanup solution. Students had one semester to design and build an oil spill cleanup device. At the end of the semester final testing took place in a 20-foot long water table, which was filled with water 6 inches deep. Then for each team of 3–4 students 100 mL of cooking oil was dispersed into the water table, and they had 20 minutes to recover as much of the oil as they could. The grading for the project was based in part on the percentage of the oil the students could recover in the allotted time. The students employed a wide range of techniques, including skimmers, scoopers, and absorbers. The students also had to write a report explaining how their model solution in the water table could be scaled up to full-scale use in an actual offshore oil spill.

Abstract:
The Mardi Gras Transportation System is an ultra deepwater pipeline system that will support a number of prospects in the Gulf of Mexico, including the Holstein, Mad Dog, Atlantis and Thunder Horse field developments. To support the design of the deepest portions of the Mardi Gras Transportation System, a full-scale collapse test program was performed, and was aimed at measuring, quantifying and documenting the increase in pipe strength and collapse resistance as a result of the thermal induction heat treatment effect (thermal aging) from the pipe coating process. This paper presents a summary of the test program and the results of all testing performed on Europipe pipe samples. Two collapse tests and five pressure + bend tests were performed on as-received and thermally treated pipe specimens. These specimens were API Grade X65 line pipe, with an outer diameter of 28 inches (711 mm) and a wall thickness of 1.5 inches (38 mm). Geometric measurements, material coupon tests, and ring expansion tests were also performed. The coupon tests also included specimens taken from the original plate samples from which the full-scale pipes were manufactured, providing data on the effect of the UOE process on circumferential compressive strength. For the thermally treated pipe specimens, thermal treatment was performed by running the specimens through a pipe coating mill, simulating a fusion bond epoxy coating operation. This process involved preheating specimens to 240°C using induction heating. Subsequent material and full-scale tests on these specimens resulted in an increase of cross-sectional residual stresses by almost threefold, an increase of the circumferential compressive yield strength of the pipe by approximately 23% and an increase of pipe collapse strength by approximately 28%. The results of these tests are also compared to the collapse and collapse + bending equations found in the DNV (DNV OSF101) and API (API RP 1111) offshore pipeline codes, as well as the collapse equations found in API Bul 5C3 for downhole casing applications. In particular, it has been shown that the thermal treatment of the UOE pipe specimens can increase the DNV fabrication factor from 0.85 to 1.0.

Abstract:
With the development of deepwater offshore industries, Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) offers great advantages over other risers and has been widely deployed. SCRs have been installed and in service in offshore oil and gas industries in the Gulf of Mexico, Campos Basin, Brazil and West of Africa since the 1990s. The platforms designed for SCRs range from semi-submersible, Spar, TLP to FPSO. Severe motions of a floating host facility such as a TLP, FPSO or other platform may have implications for the strength and fatigue life of SCR. To better understand the effect of floater motion on deepwater SCR, a comparison study of such effect was conducted. Three typical floaters including semi-submersible, Spar and TLP were selected for comparison purpose. An identical SCR was assumed for all floaters in order to make comparison on the same basis. Study focus was given to the strength and motion fatigue analysis. To illustrate the floater effect on SCR performance, an example was given for an 8.625 inches diameter SCR. Detail finite element analysis were performed by use of ABAQUS. It was found that the floater motion has significant impact on SCR’s both strength and fatigue. Among the selected floaters, it was found that semi-submersible and Spar are much more friendly to SCR, while TLP makes SCR design more challenging. In addition, the effect of different floater concept on SCR global configuration design was also discussed. Meanwhile, the analysis technique was also discussed through this study. It is concluded that focus should be given to SCR motion fatigue and strength for different platforms.

Full text
Abstract:
Packaging Technology, Inc., a subsidiary of the French nuclear consortium Areva, has been tasked with manufacturing six RH-72B (72B) casks for the Department of Energy’s Carlsbad Operations Office. The 72B transportation cask will be used to transport remote-handled (RH) transuranic wastes to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) located in New Mexico. Certification of each 72B cask includes a gamma scan of the cask lead shielded wall to verify that no significant voids form within the lead subsequent to the lead pour. Voids in the lead would be revealed as spikes in the gamma scan measurements. The radioactive isotope Iridium-192 was used as the source for the gamma scan measurements. To determine the maximum and minimum expected values for the cask gamma scan, a test fixture was required to be developed with flat plate shields that matched the maximum and minimum thicknesses of the steel-lead-steel cask wall. Design of the test fixture was a non-trivial exercise due to the influence of backscatter radiation, which if unshielded resulted in unreasonably high test fixture radiation doses. To properly shield the backscatter radiation, a collimator is required around the source. The measured dose rates using the test fixture is highly sensitive to the diameter of the collimator penetration, as a collimator penetration diameter that is too narrow results in artificially low dose rate measurements when compared to the cask measurements. To assist in the design of the collimator, the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) gamma transport code was employed. Using MCNP computer simulations, it was determined that a collimator diameter of 6 inches was sufficient to properly mimic the cask configuration.

Abstract:
Abstract The Cheleken field offshore Turkmenistan is going through brown field development and challenges with retaining and enhancing production increase every day. Well Interventions are deemed to be a daily necessity to maintain production. Coiled Tubing, Wireline and other rigless interventions have been used directly on platforms resulting in occupying critical spaces, logistic and marine congestion (one Coiled Tubing Move comprises of over twenty lifts), structure integrity limitations, crane and lifting limitation, and a lot more. The need for a self-elevating platform arose and operator search for a proper one within the Caspian Sea ended with disappointments. This paper details the innovative and out of the box solution that was put in place to mobilize the first Lift Boat to the Caspian Sea. A lift boat was identified in the USA in the Gulf of Mexico which was underutilized after the pandemic and oil recession. The Class 230 specifications met the end user's requirements but the challenge was how to mobilize it to the Caspian. In addition, there were a handful of modifications that were requested for the Caspian operation that were not necessarily required in the Gulf. Mobilization of the lift boat must be carried out through the Volga-Don canal locking system which has a width of 57 feet 9 inch (maximum allowable beam for vessels is 56 feet 5 inches). The beam of the lift boat was 78 feet which is too wide to fit through the Volga-Don shipping canal. Hence, it was necessary to disassemble and transport the lift boat in sections. This paper describes the following: Disassembly requirements necessary to prepare the lift boat for mobilization The mobilization of the lift boat The reassembly requirements once the lift boat reached the shipyard at Caspian Sea Installation of well service and intervention equipment Technology and methodology adopted The Lift boat was disassembled into three major sections for transportation: a) the center hull module b) the port wing module, and c) the starboard wing module. The wing modules, miscellaneous equipment and containers were loaded onto a barge and sea-fastened for transportation. The center hull module was wet towed to the shipyard located in the Caspian where the lift boat was reassembled, and the well service equipment was installed. The mobilization and assembly happened during the Covid-19 era, and the vessel was hit by Hurricane Ida which impacted the disassembly schedule. Challenges on mobilizing the personnel, equipment, machinery, port clearance, etc. were all extremely tough due to Covid-19. The paper will also cover technical implications on conducting this task by complying with the classification and flag state requirements as per Turkmenistan authority. The main lesson of the paper is the identification of gaps on mobilization and how the improved techniques can be utilized for executing the task on a fast-track manner.

Abstract:
Abstract Recently, a significant producer in the deep water Gulf of Mexico (GoM) exhibited a loss of production. An investigation determined that a valve in the sliding sleeve assembly, a small portion of the installed completion, malfunctioned and resulted in the valve not opening as commanded. The operator created a team to diagnose the problem without using the usual method of recovery and replacement of the full assembly, which would require a significant amount of time and costly equipment. The team of various subject matter experts (SME) from the completions unit, the manufacturing company of the equipment and an electric line intervention provider determined that they could use two methods to exploit the design of the sliding sleeve to create a new flow-path and restore production without damaging the rest of the in-place completion. Both challenging methods required a high degree of precision and accuracy. To maintain the mechanical integrity of the downhole equipment, the tolerance window for the cut was within two inches (at depths greater than 27,000 ft), and cut radius tolerances were less than 1/100th of an inch. Two electric lines intervention tools were found to be capable of performing the type of cut required for the primary and secondary methods (one for each method). These selected tools are frequently used in the GoM, which promotes a high level of confidence in their success. After extensive surface testing, the tools were deployed downhole and were successful on the first attempt. The operation was monitored and controlled at surface, and the tools performed the required cut in less than sixty minutes. Once the tools were retrieved, the sleeve was commanded open once again, and full communication to the formation was restored. With the utilization of this technology and methodology, the project was able to save in excess of $40,000,000 USD.

Abstract:
Abstract The challenging offshore drilling environment has increased the need for cost-effective operations to deliver accurate well placement, high borehole quality, and shoe-to-shoe drilling performance. As well construction complexity continues to develop, the need for an improved systems approach to delivering integrated performance is critical. Complex bottom hole assemblies (BHA) used in deepwater operations will include additional sensors and capabilities than in the past. These BHAs consist of multiple cutting structures (bit/reamer), gamma, resistivity, density, porosity, sonic, formation pressure testing/sampling capabilities, as well as drilling dynamics systems and onboard diagnostic sensors. Rock cutting structure design primarily relied on data capture at the surface. An instrumented sensor package within the drill bit provides dynamic measurements allowing for better understanding of BHA performance, creating a more efficient system for all drilling conditions. The addition of intelligent systems that monitor and control these complex BHAs, makes it possible to implement autonomous steering of directional drilling assemblies in the offshore environment. In the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM), this case study documents the introduction of a new automated drilling service and Intelligent Rotary Steerable System (iRSS) with an instrumented bit. Utilizing these complex BHAs, the system can provide real-time (RT) steering decisions automatically given the downhole tool configuration, planned well path, and RT sensor information received. The 6-3/4-inch nominal diameter system, coupled with the instrumented bit, successfully completed the first 5,400-foot (1,650m) section while enlarging the 8-1/2-inch (216mm) borehole to 9-7/8 inches (250mm). The system delivered a high-quality wellbore with low tortuosity and minimal vibration, while keeping to the planned well path. The system achieved all performance objectives and captured dynamic drilling responses for use in an additional applications. This fast sampling iRSS maintains continuous and faster steering control at high rates of penetration (ROP) providing accurate well path directional control. The system-matched polycrystalline diamond (PDC) bit is engineered to deliver greater side cutting efficiency with enhanced cutting structure improving the iRSS performance. Included within the bit is an instrumentation package that tracks drilling dynamics at the bit. The bit dynamics data is then used to improve bit designs and optimize drilling parameters.
