ABSTRACTA long-term radio frequency interference monitoring program is now in progress at the Ohio State University Radio Observatory. Current observations encompass the 1-2 GHz band, measuring the signal strength in each 150 KHz subband. Preliminary results show many strong and persistent signals, and wide bands in which no signals are detected. Daily and weekly variations appear to be correlated with periods of maximum human activity such as “rush hours”. It may be that aircraft reflections are causing many of the signals to be received, and that airline schedules correlate with “rush hours”. The program is being upgraded to automatically measure the direction of arrival of each signal, as an aid to further identify it. This directional information will also be used in designing rolled edges and side shields for the co-located OSU Radio Telescope, to further reduce its vulnerability to RFI.

Cooperative Extension has a long history of using radio broadcasts in educational programming. The Minneapolis, MN-based CBS affiliate WCCO Radio 830AM contacted the University of Minnesota Extension (UMNExt) in 2013 to reinstate an 8:00 AM Saturday live gardening show titled “Smart Garden”. After several years of doing the radio show, we wanted to determine the effectiveness of getting information to listeners, what people were doing differently because of what they heard on the show, and how much they used the Extension’s resources after listening to the program. After analyzing 410 responses to an online survey, we found 78% of respondents reported they frequently or always learned something new when listening, and 56% reported adopting environmentally important practices, such as pollinator gardens, less chemical use, better lawn care, water conservation, and removing invasive plants. We concluded that this educational programming was making a positive impact on consumer horticulture practices.

The purpose of this research is to examine MS Radio Palu's broadcast media management strategy in facing the new media era. This research uses qualitative descriptive methodology, using media management strategy theory from Ikhwan (2020:14), namely planning, organizing, influencing and controlling. The basis of this research is action (action research), with a total of 6 (six) informants. Data collection through observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques use qualitative descriptive, data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that MS Radio Palu's broadcast media management strategy in facing the new media era is through 4 (four) media management strategies, namely: 1) planning, planning carried out by MS Radio Palu includes program planning, improving program quality, placing schedules according to listener segmentation, and program evaluation. 2) organizing is done by correctly placing the tasks that must be done, who does them and how the tasks are grouped. 3) influencing is carried out to influence employees, MS Radio implements open and friendly communication between superiors and subordinates. 4) supervision (controlling), Supervision carried out at MS Radio is a monitoring process that determines how far a plan and goal can be realized by a broadcast. The research results also show the obstacles experienced by MS Radio Palu, namely the disaster in 2018, the Covid-19 pandemic, and unstable electricity factors in the city of Palu.

The article is devoted to the characteristics of the object of related rights of a broadcasting organization. The subject matter of the study is the legal regulation of this object in the Laws of Ukraine “On Television and Radio Broadcasting”, “On Copyright and Related Rights” of 1993, and the Civil Code of Ukraine whose provisions contained conflicts for a long time, and the Law of Ukraine “On Copyright and Related Rights” of 2022. The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive characterization of the broadcasting organization program as an object of related rights and to determine its relationship with the separate show of the broadcasting organization. The study was conducted using historical, comparative legal, formal legal, dialectical and logical methods. It is substantiated that a separate show, in case of a creative contribution to its creation, is an oral work (radio show) or an audiovisual work (television show) capable of copyright protection. Related rights of broadcasting organizations extend to a set of shows and other materials combined in the program but not to individual components of this program. This approach is also reflected in the provisions of the new Law of Ukraine “On Copyright and Related Rights” of 2022. It is determined that the program of broadcasting organization is not identical to a composite work since its legal protection covers the result of not creative selection and arrangement of certain materials but organizational and technical efforts to compose certain objects into a complete program.

We describe an on-going HST program aimed at determining the relationship between the nuclear black hole mass and bulge mass in spiral galaxies. We have selected a volume limited sample of 54 nearby spiral galaxies for which we already have ground based emission line rotation curves, CCD surface photometry and radio maps. We are now obtaining HST/STIS longslit observations of each of the galaxies in the sample in order to determine the nuclear Hα rotation curve at high (∼ 0.1) spatial resolution. We will use these data to measure the unresolved dark mass concentration at the nucleus of each object. Here we show the first results from observations of objects in the sample.

This study presents the results of an opinion pool among the users and residents of Mamirauá and Amanã Reserves in relation to the effectiveness of the communications broadcasted through the radio show “Ligado no Mamirauá” (Tunned into Mamirauá). This research was carried out between September and October 2004 aiming to support the planning of a new structure for this radio show, based on the perception of its main listeners. “Ligado no Mamirauá” has been broadcasted every Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 to 8:00 p.m. by Tefé Rural Radio Station for more than ten years. This research was conducted among listeners at the age of 16 or older, residents and users of these two protected areas. Semi-structured questionnaires were applied to gather opinions about what listeners consider the most relevant subjects, their evaluation of the information offered by the broadcast, their preferences of time shifts and days of the week for a new broadcasting plan. Besides these pools, data about their access to current means of diffusion and information dissemination (radio and TV), and about the conditions of the equipment used were also registered in the individual interviews. The analysis has shown that “Ligado no Mamirauá” needs to broadcast more clear subjects, related to basic local needs, such as health, education, citizenship, and to give opportunity to popular participation during the programs so to strengthen its audience, providing means to establish a participative dialogue about social and environmental development of the protected areas, yet informing more frequently the local opinion (throughout community participation in the radio program) about the work and research carried out by Mamirauá Institute towards the improvement of life quality in the local communities, and about their strengthening as social actors, responsible for the conservation of their own environment.

ABSTRACT We present the largest single survey to date of average profiles of radio pulsars, observed and processed using the same telescope and data reduction software. Specifically, we present measurements for 1170 pulsars, observed by the Thousand Pulsar Array programme at the 64-dish SARAO MeerKAT radio telescope, in a frequency band from 856 to 1712 MHz. We provide rotation measures (RM), dispersion measures, flux densities, and polarization properties. The catalogue includes 254 new RMs that substantially increase the total number of known pulsar RMs. Our integration times typically span over 1000 individual rotations per source. We show that the radio (pseudo-) luminosity has a strong, shallow dependence on the spin-down energy, proportional to $\dot{E}^{0.15\pm 0.04}$, that contradicts some previous proposals of population synthesis studies. In addition, we find a significant correlation between the steepness of the observed flux density spectra and $\dot{E}$, and correlations of the fractional linear polarization with $\dot{E}$, the spectral index, and the pulse width, which we discuss in the context of what is known about pulsar radio emission and how pulsars evolve with time. On the whole, we do not see significant correlations with the estimated surface magnetic field strength, and the correlations with $\dot{E}$ are much stronger than those with the characteristic age. This finding lends support to the suggestion that magnetic dipole braking may not be the dominant factor for the evolution of pulsar rotation over the lifetimes of pulsars. A public data release of the high-fidelity time-averaged pulse profiles in full polarization accompanies our catalogue.

Abstract Jupiter’s decimeter-wavelength flux density is dominated by synchrotron emission from magnetically trapped ∼5–50 MeV electrons in the radiation belts. Synchrotron radio emission remains the most useful diagnostic of the radiation belts, and a global picture is provided by ground-based observations. Monitoring of the long-term variations of Jupiter’s Synchrotron Radiation (JSR) flux density is crucial to understanding its relationship with the solar wind. The GAVRT (Goldstone-Apple Valley Radio Telescope) program operates two retired Deep Space Network (DSN) antennas, and as part of their K-12 program and Juno support, GAVRT has been collecting data to monitor JSR radio emission at 2280 MHz (13 cm wavelength). We present new results from 2019 August to 2021 December GAVRT monitoring observations. As viewed from Earth the JSR varies systematically (by about 10%) with Jupiter’s 9.9 hr rotation period, and our observations were typically much shorter than 9.9 hr. To estimate the daily flux density of JSR, we took advantage of recent progress in modeling the radiation belt, scaling individual observations by the predicted relative variation due to Jupiter’s rotation as viewed from Earth. We discuss the JSR variability from 2015 to 2021, combining our results with previous GAVRT data. Our new results show a marked decrease (∼1 Jy) in JSR flux density between 2018 and 2021, while earlier observations showed an increase from 2015 to 2018. These results are remarkably consistent with long-term variability shown by the simulations of Han et al. based on models driven by the solar wind ram pressure.

Texto completoResumen
Se a rádio e a cultura são sinérgicas, e se a cultura pop pode atuar como um estado
intermédio entre a alta e a baixa cultura, parece-nos fundamental pensar a rádio como um
fenómeno cultural popular. A primeira parte desta dissertação faz uma abordagem
introdutória aos conceitos relacionados com a cultura pop e procura ilustrar o movimento
interativo entre esta forma cultural e a rádio enquanto meio de comunicação. Se nas
décadas de 1960 e 1970, nos Estados Unidos da América, os géneros musicais permitiam
já a formação de subculturas e afirmavam a força da cultura da juventude, em Portugal o
boom do rock e a alteração massificada de comportamentos chegou mais tarde, à boleia
do que acontecia no resto do mundo.
Na segunda parte desta dissertação e depois de relacionarmos, à luz
das ciências da comunicação, alguns rasgos de teorias relativas ao estudo da rádio,
nomeadamente no que à teoria da interatividade radiofónica defendida por Bertolt Brecht
diz respeito, iremos estreitar o foco desta investigação e aplicá-la a dois programas de
rádio específicos. A partir de uma abordagem metodológica que tem por base a realização
de entrevistas, a segunda parte deste trabalho contextualiza historicamente a rádio
em Portugal e vai até dois programas de rádio em particular: o programa "Rock em
Stock", realizado por Luís Filipe Barros, de 1979, e o programa "Portugália", de Henrique
Amaro, surgido no ano de 2002. Os respetivos programas de rádio foram comparados à
luz do seu contexto e tendo em conta o respetivo momento da história da rádio.
Como conclusão, propomos a possibilidade dos programas de rádio que comparámos
agirem na construção da subjetividade dos ouvintes, através das várias sinergias
que concluímos existirem entre a rádio e a cultura pop.
O último ponto desta dissertação é dedicado às possibilidades da rádio do futuro,
assumindo como premissa a teoria da interatividade proposta por Brecht.Considering radio and culture as a synergy and the liability of pop culture acting as an intermediate level between high and low culture, it seems fundamental to us to regard radio as a popular, cultural phenomenon. On the first part of this dissertation there is a preliminary approach to the concepts related to the pop culture and it attempts to picture the synergistic movement between this cultural form and the radio, as a means of communication. On the second part of this thesis and after some approaches to the theories related to the study of radio as seen by the communication sciences, namely those concerning the interaction within the radio supported by Berthold Brecht, we are going to look at the focus of this investigation and enforce it to two specific portuguese radio shows, with a methodical approach based on interviews: “Rock em Stock”, directed by Luís Filipe Barros in 1979 and “Portugália”, directed by Henrique Amaro in 2002. Their respective radio programmes were compared in terms of context and bearing in mind their respective juncture in the history of portuguese radio. Finally, this dissertation proposes the possibility of the compared radio shows act in the building of the listener’s self-development through various synergies that we concluded existing between radio and pop culture. We also write about the future radio’s possibilities, taking for granted as a premise the theory of the interaction proposed by Brecht.

AbstractThis chapter aims at explaining structures and violations of the cooperative principle in adlibs to understand its function in a radio advertisement. This adlib is a new method in radio advertisement in which radio broadcasters read and perform the advertising. Data are collected from the morning program of Gen FM radio. This research applies qualitative method in order to provide descriptive data in the form of written and oral words from observed or targeted individuals. There are two key findings in this study. First, the most often of adlibs structures is an advertisement structure without opening or greeting. It means that the radio broadcasters started adlibs without prior notification. Second, the most violated principle is Grice's maxim of relevance. The radio broadcasters deliberately contravene the maxim of relevance that radio listeners do not think they are listening to an advertisement. Therefore, a radio broadcaster must have skill to deliver adlibs as natural as possible. This research shows the current conditions of radio advertisement from the perspective of linguistics. The success of adlibs radio advertisements relies heavily on the ability in manipulation discursive and pragmatic aspects of language and communication.

AbstractIn many ways, the year 1953 represented a year of consolidation for the radio astronomers at RPL under the leadership of Pawsey and Bowen. The solar research program was flourishing (see Chap. 25). Bolton, Stanley and Slee completed their survey of discrete sources at Dover Heights, by now finding 104 such sources. Mills was now developing new instruments to investigate these sources further.

AbstractBy mid-November 1945, Pawsey had begun planning for an observational programme in the post-54RS era. Although Pawsey was clearly appreciative of the excellent cooperation of the RAAF at Collaroy, the radio group at RPL now needed a site closer to the Laboratory at Sydney University, with accessible and convenient public transport. In addition, RPL needed a field station site under their own control, allowing modifications on the equipment to be made by their staff. The obvious solution was to start work at the Dover Heights ShD (Shore Defence) or C.D. (Coastal Defence) station of the Australian Military Forces. This station had been used by RPL during WWII for radar development and was only 10 km from the lab and reachable by public buses. The station was called CA No. 1 (Costal Artillery). As we have seen, Pawsey had begun planning for the first observations (January 1946) the previous November. An image from the WWII era of the Shore Defence aerial at Dover Heights is shown in Fig. 13.1.

Jack Benny was not only radio’s biggest star after the mid-1930s, but he was the most visible celebrity in Hollywood. This chapter examines the many ways that Benny’s radio program, and Benny’s performance career, intertwined radio and film, two powerful media industries that were often said to be at war with one another. While media conglomeration today means that performers and story ideas are moved freely across media, there were many impediments to do so in the past. Benny’s radio show was the first to parody popular movies, but he could not mention the radio stars who sold rival products. Benny’s radio-themed films made at Paramount between 1939 and 1941, met with significant box office success and even greater critical disparagement.

Abstract I became aware of good music, fortunately, in early childhood,” Steve Allen told me about fifteen years ago. We were talking in the New York NBC radio studios after his short-lived show had concluded for that afternoon. He had reentered the world of radio a few months before but soon had to give up the program because of other commitments. During the show’s run he had many jazz artists as guests, including Mel Powell, Joe Williams, Ann Jillian, Bobby Enriquez, Terry Gibbs, Adam Makowicz, and Sven Asmussen.

Abstract On the evening of October 30, 1938, Orson Welles’s Mercury Theatre of the Air presented a radio dramatization of The War of the Worlds. The program, aired on the Columbia Broadcasting System, was structured in the form of a series of news reports. Only loosely adapted from H. G. Wells’s original story, it vividly described a Martian invasion of Grovers Mills, New Jersey. At four separate points in the broadcast CBS announced that “the entire story and all its incidents were fictitious.” Local stations also interrupted the show with similar disclaimers. Nonetheless, the day after Welles’s broadcast aired, newspaper accounts described “a tidal wave of terror” which had “swept the nation.” Reports told of terrified citizens who had fled their homes, weeping college students who had made farewell telephone calls to loved ones, and stout he’.lrted individuals who had volunteered to battle the hostile extraterrestrials. A study by social scientist Hadley Cantril concluded that over one million Americans had been frightened by the War of the Worlds broadcast. Welles issued a public apology for the panic sparked by his program, and the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission pronounced the whole affair “regrettable.”

Abstract The late-night talk radio show has been a feature of the Chinese urban radio soundscape for more than three decades. Although such shows have declined in popularity since the late 2000s, in recent years they have been revived in digital format. Audio programs under the tag of “night listening” have blossomed in the Chinese digital space. Late-night talk radio shows are easily accessible on audio platforms. An analysis of the evolution of late-night radio talk shows in China can help in understanding the economic and social transformations that have reoriented Chinese individuals to seek intimacy and emotional liberty. This chapter explores the role of late-night talk radio shows in the negotiation and formation of a new emotional regime in post-Mao China. It also discusses the continuities and changes in the production of Chinese radio shows and their impact on audiences from the telecommunication age to the digital age.

Abstract Radio critics Jack Gould of the New York Times and John Crosby of the New York Herald Tribune brought serious criticism to American network radio in 1946. They decried the abundance of violence in radio dramas, the crass commercialism of giveaway shows, and the reluctance of sponsors to allow programs to address real issues. Their prominent reviews and wide readership brought additional pressure on radio sponsors, agency liaisons, network executives, and producers to improve and raised awareness of critical program appreciation among listeners. They led the nationwide expansion of journalistic broadcasting coverage, despite the rapid turn of attention to the promise of television. This examination of the achievements (and shortcomings) of these critics in wielding powerful voices of evaluation complicates our understanding of how American network radio was produced and experienced from the mid-1940s to the early 1950s.

Abstract Well completions featuring an ICD, swell packers and sliding sleeve doors (SSD) are a popular option in highly heterogeneous reservoirs and homogeneous with barriers. However, this arrangement presents challenges for evaluating the integrity isolation in terms of the swell packer's isolation of layers. The subject well, an oil producer in Raudhatain field, Kuwait, was completed with an ICD with seven packers and five SSDs. The well showed a 100% water cut from the start of production. This paper describes a technique that combines high-precision temperature surveys and a spectral acoustic method to enable accurate flow profiling and integrity evaluation in such wells. A diagnostic survey was planned for the subject well. This was designed to determine if there was flow from below the survey interval, establish whether the SSDs were active and check the integrity of the swell packers. This comprehensive study combined results from high-precision temperature surveys and spectral acoustic surveys. The analysis identified the contributing intervals of the formation behind the ICD blank zone. Each of the swell packers was assessed for possible leaks and the performance of each SSD was evaluated. The survey indicated that two of the SSDs were not contributing to production and that one of the swell packers was being bypassed. The temperature divergence between shut-in and flowing and temperature gradients suggested a significant inflow of fluid from a source, below the survey interval. The survey provided an accurate evaluation of swell packer and SSD performance and enabled the operator to formulate an effective and efficient remediation strategy. This operator performed a straightforward workover program that involved setting a coilflate (plug) in the ICD shoe where damage was found. Confirmation from the diagnostic survey that the swell packers were holding above the planned depth for the plug suggested that this kind of workover would be effective. After confirming that the plug was holding (by pressure test), a surface-produced gas oil ratio (PGOR) test showed that the water cut in the well had been reduced to 74% and there was now a significant inflow of oil. The result of the diagnostic survey and subsequent workover operation enabled the operator to kick-start production from what had been a nonproductive well. The combination of a high-precision temperature survey and a spectral acoustic method enabled accurate flow profiling and integrity evaluation in a well with ICD, swell packers and SSDs. These accurate assessments of reservoir flow and well condition would not have been possible with conventional production logging [PLT] techniques.

Abstract Waterflooding technology has been a longstanding practice in the oil and gas industry, with its roots dating back to its development in the US in the 1940s. The fundamental concept involves replenishing drained spaces to maintain system pressure, although the complexity arises in reservoirs filled with heterogeneities. Beyond pressure preservation, waterflooding also enhances production through efficient sweeping. The success of waterflooding hinges on the dual metrics of pressure maintenance and production rate. However, quantifying this success is not always straightforward and can be obscured by the poor performance of individual producers. This paper presents a real case study conducted at Field S, highlighting a meticulous evaluation of the impact of water injection. Despite the drilling of two peripheral water injectors in 2021, water breakthrough shortly after injection initiation led to a nearly 20% reduction in field production. Analysis of available data pointed to injection-induced fractures, inadequate cement behind casing channeling, and high permeability contrast in multiple sand lobes as potential sources of increased water cut observed in key wells. To address this, an intermittent flow strategy was implemented at the expense of the voidage replacement ratio (VRR), allowing the gas oil ratio (GOR) to develop and improve well lifting. Various diagnostics, including streamline analysis, injection fall-off, advanced well interference tests, and capacitance-resistant model analysis, were assessed. Field S, following its field development plan, plans to add 52 infill wells within the next 5 years to its existing inventory of 15 wells. Reservoir simulation work has been endorsed to support continuous water injection for pressure maintenance before infill, aligning with the planned recovery factor. The robustness of the water injection program faced a challenge when management proposed its discontinuation after only 30 months of injection. This paper showcases a real case study demonstrating the utilization of multiple surveillance tools and diagnostic plots to validate waterflood efficiency, enabling Field S to persist with its water injection program. The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of how a tailored surveillance program and data interpretation workflows could enable petroleum engineers to proactively diagnose and troubleshoot water injection programs more efficiently with minimal intervention. Additionally, it demonstrates the application of various water injection-related diagnostic plots from published papers on the Field S dataset and their compatibility index.

The aim of this paper is to show how the implementation of Moodle program could improve the education at the Department of Media Studies at Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad. Since the media studies are interdisciplinary studies, it is easy to adapt them to the new digital technologies. The method of work using this free source e-learning software platform will be thoroughly described in the paper. The case study of the course Radio journalism will try to present many occasions in which Moodle can be used, both in the form of multimedia contents and as an addition to the traditional lectures. The research that will be conducted among the students of the third year (53 subjects), the forth year (38 subjects), and the fifth year (master) (17 subjects) will show the students? expectations and their abilities during the lectures. The authors assumed that the students of the third, fourth and fifth years have enough knowledge about the digital media, gained during the previous years, thus they were the target group according to which the questionnaire was created. The preliminary results of the research showed that 24% of the participants heard about Moodle and that 67% would be interested in that type of e-learning if the Faculty introduced it. During the pilot phase, the following functions will be used: giving assignments, forum, downloading files, grading, Moodle instant messages, on-line calendar and on-line news and announcements for the course Radio journalism.It is predicted that this type of e-learning would be very interesting and would not represent an obstacle for learning to the generations that were born in the era of digital communication.

VLBI telescope reference point, the closest point in the telescope primary axis from the secondary axis, is typically determined indirectly by observation of points co-rotating with the telescope. We have previously measured telescope reference point indirectly with two GPS-antennas attached on the edge of the dish of the Aalto University Metsähovi radio telescope in 2008-2015. Now we have applied the same technique to the new VGOS-telescope of the FGI Metsähovi geodetic research station. The reference point of the VGOS antenna was estimated using post-processed trajectory coordinates of two GNSS antennas. The antennas are attached on the edge of the radio telescope dish with gimbals where a counterweight with shock absorber act as compensators to ensure zenith pointing at all telescope elevation angles. In addition, spherical prisms are attached to the structure of the telescope for tachymetric reference point determination. One purpose of this study is to evaluate the limit values and uncertainties of the compensator assembly by simulations and precise tachymeter measurements. To ensure that the compensation error is nearly constant or can be modelled, we have measured the residual tilt of the GNSS antennas with different VLBI antenna elevations. The results indicate a need to apply the corrections or to improve the compensator design. We aim to improve the counterweight and dampening so that no extra model corrections to trajectory coordinates are needed. For final assurance of our GNSS-based reference point monitoring performance, we have compared the reference point coordinates determined by simultaneous tachymetric and GNSS data. Our results and simulations showed that, with a small compensation error, the influence on reference point coordinates is marginal but the axis offset will be compromised, provided that the compensating angle bias is nearly constant. Preliminary reference point estimates show a rather good agreement of simultaneous GNSS-based and tachymetric reference points. The final results will be achieved as part of the 18SIB01 EMPIR GeoMetre project, funded from the EMPIR programme and co-financed by the Participating States and from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

Texto completoResumen
Conventional free electron lasers (FELs) suffer from some drawbacks related to the large size of most electron beam (ebeam) accelerators that implies high costs, system complexity, and shielding requirements. However, in the far infrared (FIR) and millimetre (mm) wave region the FEL can meet the demand of compactness. For example, the low ebeam energies required (<10 MeV) allow the use of small size accelerators like radio-frequency (rf) linacs or microtrons. The increased performance in terms of gain at wavelengths in the FIR and mm also requires a shorter length of the interaction region, thus allowing the use of short period undulators and a small number of periods which results in a better efficiency. Moreover, the presence of a dispersive element inside the undulator, like a waveguide needed for operation at long wavelengths, alters the radiation generation mechanism introducing new tuning possibilities in addition to those traditional for the FELs. The performance of such a device shows very peculiar characteristics like the possibility of changing the central frequency and the spectral bandwidth for spectroscopical purposes or the high peak power for applications in nonlinear optics. Following the above considerations the FEL group at the ENEA Frascati Research Centre has started a development program for compact FEL devices. A first prototype is now running, since 1992, in the mm wave region, and a second development step to move toward the FIR region is in progress.

Abstract Iron sulfide scales is considered one of the most commonly encountered formation scale in the oil and gas industry which can adversely impact well deliverability and integrity. Traditional chemical treatments using inorganic acids such as HCl are not favorable due to its corrosive nature and rapid generation of H2S gas. The success rate for such operation is further challenged by the molar ratio of iron to sulfur and the existing polymorph of iron sulfide such as pyrite, pyrrhotite, troilite, marcasite and mackinawite. This paper aims to share the laboratory development and field application results for a revolutionary chemistry that was developed as an integrated solution to dissolute iron sulfide scales and inhibit further scale nucleation. Extensive laboratory testing was conducted under anaerobic conditions to create an evolved chelating agent with high iron sulfide dissolution, minimal corrosion rate and no H2S generation. The experimental setup included in-situ mixing of Fe(+2) and S(-2) to create iron sulfide scale that were placed in glass vial reactors and exposed to specific temperature and pressure. Furthermore, a thorough evaluation of sulfide scale properties and behavior under varying reservoir pressure and temperature is incorporated into a computational model to understand and accurately control the scale deposition process. Several cleanout jobs have been successfully performed in the field using this treatment. Lab results showed minimal presence for the ferrous ion and total sulfide once filtered from the aqueous phase. Furthermore, the results for iron sulfide dissolution at different pH levels will be shared to determine the optimum pH values for the chelating agents. The collected data showed that this dissolver was able to outperform THPS based dissolvers without the adverse effects of HCl. Post job results will be discussed in this paper including job design, field execution, lessons learned and solid compositional analysis. Furthermore, inhibition program has been implemented based on the acquired results from this model and frequent inspection conducted showed no scale deposition over extended production periods. The novelty of this approach is its ability to efficiently remove iron sulfide scales and inhibit nucleation at early stages without relying on inorganic acids. Lab results will be discussed in detail to examine the role of chelating agents in iron sulfide dissolution at different pH levels under anaerobic conditions. Field deployment data will be shared to definitively prove the effectiveness of this treatment in removing and preventing further iron sulfide precipitation. This study will help shed some light on an issue that has long concerned the oil & gas industry and up to this date no effective prevention mechanism has been discovered.

The turbine inlet gas temperature ( Toso ) is an important parameter in design and performance analysis of gas turbine cycles. By increasing Toso, air bleeding for blade cooling increases and it can be about 25 percent of compressor inlet air mass flow rate for Toso equal to 1600 K. Therefore air bleeding has an important impact on thermal efficiency, specific power output and the optimum compressor pressure ratio at which maximum efficiency occurs. For the gas turbine part of a combined cycle, these performance curves are obtained and shown using a developed simulation program (GTE). Also for heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) part of a combined cycle plant, HRSG simulates the transient and steady state temperature distribution of hot gases, steam and tube metal at different parts of HRSG. Any number of pressure levels (high, intermediate and low) and heating elements (superheater, evaporator and economizer) including desuperheater and deaerator can be included. GTE outputs show less than two percent difference from reported measured values. This difference was less than six percent for HRSG model.

Nowadays, the key goal in manufacturing is being very efficient within changing markets and under turbulent conditions. Therefore, production plants with their machines logistics and all the other involved components have to be adaptable to changing conditions. For this reason, reconfigurable manufacturing systems are needed, which allow a fast adaption to new requirements of the product to be manufactured. Today, reconfiguration in manufacturing is mostly limited due to missing reconfigurability of the control software in combination with the underlying hardware. The coupling is that strong that in manufacturing control software is always bound to special hardware. Until now, flexibility is only possible by changing application or part programs that are interpreted by a fixed control kernel. The adaption of any core functionality is impossible, and any other changes require high manual effort for redesigning software systems and parametrizing their functionalities. For better adaptability in manufacturing this coupling has to be dissolved. Other disciplines and industries have similar requirements like the information and communication technology (ICT). In the area of ICT, there are more and more concepts of Software Defined Anything (SDX) like Software Defined Networking (SDN) or Software Defined Radio (SDR). Flexible, adaptive and really reconfigurable manufacturing should be improved by a new concept of Software Defined Manufacturing (SDM). SDM allows freely defined functionalities within the physical limitations of the mechanical and electrical components of a machine. But current manufacturing equipment with its control architecture does not offer the technical basis for such a concept. Existing concepts of cloud-based control architectures show indeed a virtualization of the control algorithms. Due to the fact that the software is running remotely, the software is decoupled from its hardware. However, the local control algorithms with hard real-time requirements still have a very strong coupling with the hardware. The local control software could not be defined freely according to the requirements of the product to be manufactured. In this paper, a new control architecture for manufacturing that combines cloud-based control as a service (CaaS) and Software Defined Manufacturing is presented. As a result, an architecture of an operating system for manufacturing equipment is shown, which is freely programmable. This paper deals with Software Defined Manufacturing for local control software, communication and cloud-based control systems. SDM allows defining the behavior of the entire manufacturing process based on design description of a product to be manufactured. In addition, methods are described, which allow the automatic configuration and optimization of such an architecture by using simulation technics and collected process data.

Abstract Efficient formation evaluation in heterogenous carbonate and clastic reservoirs is indispensable for estimating reserves and optimizing the testing and completion scheme of wells. E&P companies rely heavily on open hole logs to acquire a wide spectrum of measurements necessary for this objective. Effective petrophysical analysis provide quantification of key formation elements including, but not limited to, mineralogy, porosity, reservoir fluids saturation and typing, and rock permeability. Nonetheless, well control issues can sometimes pose considerable limitations to measurement acquisition in open hole leading to partial or complete compromise of data acquisition programs and subsequent loss of essential information. In such case, acquiring alternative measurements specifically designed to work in cased-hole environment is the only mitigation strategy. A widely known cased-hole logging solution is pulsed neutron measurements that have been introduced to the Oil and Gas industry decades ago. Recent advances in pulsed neutron tools technology greatly improve the quality of this type of cased-hole measurement and enrich the spectrum of its applications, bringing it closer to open hole logs in terms of robustness. In time domain, the measurement includes formation Sigma, for saturation in saline environment, thermal neutron porosity (TPHI), and inelastic fast neutron cross section (FNXS) for gas identification. In energy domain, the measurement includes Inelastic-Capture elemental yields for mineralogy and Total Organic Carbon (TOC), and Inelastic Carbon & Oxygen ratio for salinity-independent saturation estimation. These advanced measurements were deployed in a mature field to compensate for the absence of open-hole logs by providing comprehensive set of inputs for complete petrophysical analysis. The measurement was additionally implemented to evaluate the gravel pack integrity in certain producer wells that targeted clastic reservoirs where this type of completion is utilized. The study presents the results of this successful deployment and discusses the associated interpretation workflow that helped optimizing the testing/completion design and characterizing the reservoir fluids across different formations. The study will also discuss the workflow used for verifying the gravel pack integrity with the same measurement.

The recent industry wide post-ILI pipeline ruptures due to external corrosion happened in a relatively short period of time after the ILI using high-resolution Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) technology. Failure investigations show that the critical defects that caused these pipeline ruptures are generally long and complex corrosion, which typically consist of a number of deep corrosion pits (i.e. localized metal-loss) within an overall shallower, but relatively large corrosion area (i.e. generalized metal-loss). This has led us to investigate the gaps and “blind spots” of the ILI-based corrosion management program particularly to find out why existing methods fail to effectively identify and remediate such critical defects before they fail. Learning from these post-ILI failures, TransCanada has developed many assessment methods and criteria for identifying challenging areas. The many types of criteria account for blind spots from different perspectives in a multi-faceted manner. The traditional ILI based corrosion management programs calculate a deterministic failure pressure ratio (FPR) and maximum anomaly depth and ensure these do not reach a limiting value. However, this strictly deterministic assessment does not acknowledge the uncertainties, particularly the significant uncertainties in the ILI measurements, assessment models, and material properties. When all uncertainties are accounted for and a probabilistic excavation criterion is used, the excavations reveal that certain anomalies are found to be near-critical in the field even though the deterministic FPR based criteria did not identify these. The probabilistic criteria identifies longer shallower anomalies, with non-critical ILI based FPR values, as anomalies that have a higher probability of exceeding the FPR criteria in-the-ditch (where the uncertainties are minimized). This is because the probabilistic criterion acknowledges that longer anomalies are more sensitive to the depth measurement error and have a higher probability of becoming critical in-the-ditch. This “blind spot” in the deterministic method was overcome by incorporating a probabilistic criterion into the corrosion management program. The effectiveness of these new measures is discussed by examining excavation results of this program and subsequent ILI results. This paper discusses the approach to corrosion management where new learning and knowledge as well as new-found uncertainties are readily accommodated. The approach is also transparent and documented; so that new information can be incorporated into the assessment and post-ILI failures can be prevented more effectively.

In May 2012, the RAM Program completed a comprehensive flight test to evaluate the performance of airborne sensor technologies for detecting machinery threats on pipeline ROWs. The field trials were conducted on an operating pipeline Right Of Way (ROW) to provide realistic conditions for assessing the capabilities and limitations of automated systems that are currently available or are under development for identifying and reporting machinery encroachment. Four (4) separate vendors (American Aerospace Advisors, ATE Aero Surveillance, GeoEye, and New Era Technology) participated in the field trials. Each participating vendor brought a unique approach and technology package for threat detection. The findings from the flight tests show that automated technologies for pipeline patrol continue to advance at a rapid pace and are now competitive with traditional aerial patrols. While the technologies included in the flight tests are in varying stages of development, they are all near the point of being made available for routine pipeline patrol and surveillance.

Texto completoResumen
This report describes several advances in the cyclic failure assessment of silt soils with immediate and practical benefit to the geotechnical earthquake engineering profession. First, a database of cyclic loading test data is assembled, evaluated, and used to assess trends in the curvature of the CRR-N (cyclic resistance ratio - the number of equivalent cycles) relationship. This effort culminated in a plasticity index-dependent function which can be used to estimate the exponent b in the power law describing cyclic resistance, and may be used to estimate the cyclic resistance of silt soils as well as the number of equivalent loading cycles anticipated for subduction zone earthquakes. Statistical models for the cyclic resistance ratio and cyclic strength ratio are presented in this report. The SHANSEP (Stress History and Normalized Soil Engineering Properties)-inspired functional form of these models have been trained and tested against independent datasets and finalized using a combined dataset to provide reasonable estimates of resistance based on the available data. These models can be used to provide provisional estimates of the CRR-N and cyclic strength ratio power laws for cyclic shear strain failure criteria ranging from 1 to 10%, within certain stated limitations. The ground motion records within the NGA Subduction Project which have been released to the public to-date are implemented to examine the role of subduction zone earthquake characteristics on the number of equivalent loading cycles for a wide range of soils with exponents b ranging from 0.05 (moderate plasticity silt and clay) to 0.35 (dense sand). This analysis shows that the number of loading cycles for a given magnitude subduction zone earthquake is larger than those previously computed, whereas the corresponding magnitude scaling factors for use with the Simplified Method span a smaller range as a result of the ground motion characteristics. Owing to the large variability in the computed equivalent number of loading cycles, consideration of the uncertainty is emphasized in forward analyses. The work described herein may be used to estimate cyclic resistance of intact non-plastic and plastic silt soils and corresponding factor of safety against cyclic failure for a range in cyclic shear strain failure criteria, to plan cyclic laboratory testing programs, and to calibrate models for use in site response and nonlinear deformation analyses in the absence of site-specific cyclic test data. As with any empirical approach, the models presented herein should be revised when additional, high-quality cyclic testing data become available.

Designing a mobile-oriented environment for professional and practical training requires determining the stable (fundamental) and mobile (technological) components of its content and determining the appropriate model for specialist training. In order to determine the ratio of fundamental and technological in the content of software engineers’ training, a retrospective analysis of the first model of training software engineers developed in the early 1970s was carried out and its compliance with the current state of software engineering development as a field of knowledge and a new the standard of higher education in Ukraine, specialty 121 “Software Engineering”. It is determined that the consistency and scalability inherent in the historically first training program are largely consistent with the ideas of evolutionary software design. An analysis of its content also provided an opportunity to identify the links between the training for software engineers and training for computer science, computer engineering, cybersecurity, information systems and technologies. It has been established that the fundamental core of software engineers’ training should ensure that students achieve such leading learning outcomes: to know and put into practice the fundamental concepts, paradigms and basic principles of the functioning of language, instrumental and computational tools for software engineering; know and apply the appropriate mathematical concepts, domain methods, system and object-oriented analysis and mathematical modeling for software development; put into practice the software tools for domain analysis, design, testing, visualization, measurement and documentation of software. It is shown that the formation of the relevant competencies of future software engineers must be carried out in the training of all disciplines of professional and practical training.

The objectives of this project were to develop nondestructive methods for detection of internal properties and firmness of fruits and vegetables. One method was based on a soft piezoelectric film transducer developed in the Technion, for analysis of fruit response to low-energy excitation. The second method was a dot-matrix piezoelectric transducer of North Carolina State University, developed for contact-pressure analysis of fruit during impact. Two research teams, one in Israel and the other in North Carolina, coordinated their research effort according to the specific objectives of the project, to develop and apply the two complementary methods for quality control of agricultural commodities. In Israel: An improved firmness testing system was developed and tested with tropical fruits. The new system included an instrumented fruit-bed of three flexible piezoelectric sensors and miniature electromagnetic hammers, which served as fruit support and low-energy excitation device, respectively. Resonant frequencies were detected for determination of firmness index. Two new acoustic parameters were developed for evaluation of fruit firmness and maturity: a dumping-ratio and a centeroid of the frequency response. Experiments were performed with avocado and mango fruits. The internal damping ratio, which may indicate fruit ripeness, increased monotonically with time, while resonant frequencies and firmness indices decreased with time. Fruit samples were tested daily by destructive penetration test. A fairy high correlation was found in tropical fruits between the penetration force and the new acoustic parameters; a lower correlation was found between this parameter and the conventional firmness index. Improved table-top firmness testing units, Firmalon, with data-logging system and on-line data analysis capacity have been built. The new device was used for the full-scale experiments in the next two years, ahead of the original program and BARD timetable. Close cooperation was initiated with local industry for development of both off-line and on-line sorting and quality control of more agricultural commodities. Firmalon units were produced and operated in major packaging houses in Israel, Belgium and Washington State, on mango and avocado, apples, pears, tomatoes, melons and some other fruits, to gain field experience with the new method. The accumulated experimental data from all these activities is still analyzed, to improve firmness sorting criteria and shelf-life predicting curves for the different fruits. The test program in commercial CA storage facilities in Washington State included seven apple varieties: Fuji, Braeburn, Gala, Granny Smith, Jonagold, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and D'Anjou pear variety. FI master-curves could be developed for the Braeburn, Gala, Granny Smith and Jonagold apples. These fruits showed a steady ripening process during the test period. Yet, more work should be conducted to reduce scattering of the data and to determine the confidence limits of the method. Nearly constant FI in Red Delicious and the fluctuations of FI in the Fuji apples should be re-examined. Three sets of experiment were performed with Flandria tomatoes. Despite the complex structure of the tomatoes, the acoustic method could be used for firmness evaluation and to follow the ripening evolution with time. Close agreement was achieved between the auction expert evaluation and that of the nondestructive acoustic test, where firmness index of 4.0 and more indicated grade-A tomatoes. More work is performed to refine the sorting algorithm and to develop a general ripening scale for automatic grading of tomatoes for the fresh fruit market. Galia melons were tested in Israel, in simulated export conditions. It was concluded that the Firmalon is capable of detecting the ripening of melons nondestructively, and sorted out the defective fruits from the export shipment. The cooperation with local industry resulted in development of automatic on-line prototype of the acoustic sensor, that may be incorporated with the export quality control system for melons. More interesting is the development of the remote firmness sensing method for sealed CA cool-rooms, where most of the full-year fruit yield in stored for off-season consumption. Hundreds of ripening monitor systems have been installed in major fruit storage facilities, and being evaluated now by the consumers. If successful, the new method may cause a major change in long-term fruit storage technology. More uses of the acoustic test method have been considered, for monitoring fruit maturity and harvest time, testing fruit samples or each individual fruit when entering the storage facilities, packaging house and auction, and in the supermarket. This approach may result in a full line of equipment for nondestructive quality control of fruits and vegetables, from the orchard or the greenhouse, through the entire sorting, grading and storage process, up to the consumer table. The developed technology offers a tool to determine the maturity of the fruits nondestructively by monitoring their acoustic response to mechanical impulse on the tree. A special device was built and preliminary tested in mango fruit. More development is needed to develop a portable, hand operated sensing method for this purpose. In North Carolina: Analysis method based on an Auto-Regressive (AR) model was developed for detecting the first resonance of fruit from their response to mechanical impulse. The algorithm included a routine that detects the first resonant frequency from as many sensors as possible. Experiments on Red Delicious apples were performed and their firmness was determined. The AR method allowed the detection of the first resonance. The method could be fast enough to be utilized in a real time sorting machine. Yet, further study is needed to look for improvement of the search algorithm of the methods. An impact contact-pressure measurement system and Neural Network (NN) identification method were developed to investigate the relationships between surface pressure distributions on selected fruits and their respective internal textural qualities. A piezoelectric dot-matrix pressure transducer was developed for the purpose of acquiring time-sampled pressure profiles during impact. The acquired data was transferred into a personal computer and accurate visualization of animated data were presented. Preliminary test with 10 apples has been performed. Measurement were made by the contact-pressure transducer in two different positions. Complementary measurements were made on the same apples by using the Firmalon and Magness Taylor (MT) testers. Three-layer neural network was designed. 2/3 of the contact-pressure data were used as training input data and corresponding MT data as training target data. The remaining data were used as NN checking data. Six samples randomly chosen from the ten measured samples and their corresponding Firmalon values were used as the NN training and target data, respectively. The remaining four samples' data were input to the NN. The NN results consistent with the Firmness Tester values. So, if more training data would be obtained, the output should be more accurate. In addition, the Firmness Tester values do not consistent with MT firmness tester values. The NN method developed in this study appears to be a useful tool to emulate the MT Firmness test results without destroying the apple samples. To get more accurate estimation of MT firmness a much larger training data set is required. When the larger sensitive area of the pressure sensor being developed in this project becomes available, the entire contact 'shape' will provide additional information and the neural network results would be more accurate. It has been shown that the impact information can be utilized in the determination of internal quality factors of fruit. Until now,

High-level action programming languages such as Golog have successfully been used to model the behavior of autonomous agents. In addition to a logic-based action formalism for describing the environment and the effects of basic actions, they enable the construction of complex actions using typical programming language constructs. To ensure that the execution of such complex actions leads to the desired behavior of the agent, one needs to specify the required properties in a formal way, and then verify that these requirements are met by any execution of the program. Due to the expressiveness of the action formalism underlying Golog (situation calculus), the verification problem for Golog programs is in general undecidable. Action formalisms based on Description Logic (DL) try to achieve decidability of inference problems such as the projection problem by restricting the expressiveness of the underlying base logic. However, until now these formalisms have not been used within Golog programs. In the present paper, we introduce a variant of Golog where basic actions are defined using such a DL-based formalism, and show that the verification problem for such programs is decidable. This improves on our previous work on verifying properties of infinite sequences of DL actions in that it considers (finite and infinite) sequences of DL actions that correspond to (terminating and non-terminating) runs of a Golog program rather than just infinite sequences accepted by a Büchi automaton abstracting the program.

Background An estimated 292 million people are living with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection globally, including 223,000 people in Australia. HBV diagnosis and linkage of people living with HBV to clinical care is suboptimal in Australia, with 27% of people living with HBV undiagnosed and 77% not receiving regular HBV clinical care. This systematic review aimed to characterize population-level interventions implemented to enhance all components of HBV care cascade and analyse the effectiveness of interventions. Review questions Question 1: What population-level interventions, programs or policy approaches have been shown to be effective in reducing the incidence of hepatitis B; and that may not yet be fully rolled out or evaluated in Australia demonstrate early effectiveness, or promise, in reducing the incidence of hepatitis B? Question 2: What population-level interventions and/or programs are effective at reducing disease burden for people in the community with hepatitis B? Methods Four bibliographic databases and 21 grey literature sources were searched. Studies were eligible for inclusion if the study population included people with or at risk of chronic HBV, and the study conducted a population-level interventions to decrease HBV incidence or disease burden or to enhance any components of HBV care cascade (i.e., diagnosis, linkage to care, treatment initiation, adherence to clinical care), or HBV vaccination coverage. Studies published in the past 10 years (since January 2012), with or without comparison groups were eligible for inclusion. Studies conducting an HBV screening intervention were eligible if they reported proportion of people participating in screening, proportion of newly diagnosed HBV (participant was unaware of their HBV status), proportion of people received HBV vaccination following screening, or proportion of participants diagnosed with chronic HBV infection who were linked to HBV clinical care. Studies were excluded if study population was less than 20 participants, intervention included a pharmaceutical intervention or a hospital-based intervention, or study was implemented in limited clinical services. The records were initially screened by title and abstract. The full texts of potentially eligible records were reviewed, and eligible studies were selected for inclusion. For each study included in analysis, the study outcome and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were calculated. For studies including a comparison group, odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95%CIs were calculated. Random effect meta-analysis models were used to calculate the pooled study outcome estimates. Stratified analyses were conducted by study setting, study population, and intervention-specific characteristics. Key findings A total of 61 studies were included in the analysis. A large majority of studies (study n=48, 79%) included single-arm studies with no concurrent control, with seven (12%) randomised controlled trials, and six (10%) non-randomised controlled studies. A total of 109 interventions were evaluated in 61 included studies. On-site or outreach HBV screening and linkage to HBV clinical care coordination were the most frequent interventions, conducted in 27 and 26 studies, respectively. Question 1 We found no studies reporting HBV incidence as the study outcome. One study conducted in remote area demonstrated that an intervention including education of pregnant women and training village health volunteers enhanced coverage of HBV birth dose vaccination (93% post-intervention, vs. 81% pre-intervention), but no data of HBV incidence among infants were reported. Question 2 Study outcomes most relevant to the HBV burden for people in the community with HBV included, HBV diagnosis, linkage to HBV care, and HBV vaccination coverage. Among randomised controlled trials aimed at enhancing HBV screening, a meta-analysis was conducted including three studies which implemented an intervention including community face-to-face education focused on HBV and/or liver cancer among migrants from high HBV prevalence areas. This analysis demonstrated a significantly higher HBV testing uptake in intervention groups with the likelihood of HBV testing 3.6 times higher among those participating in education programs compared to the control groups (OR: 3.62, 95% CI 2.72, 4.88). In another analysis, including 25 studies evaluating an intervention to enhance HBV screening, a pooled estimate of 66% of participants received HBV testing following the study intervention (95%CI: 58-75%), with high heterogeneity across studies (range: 17-98%; I-square: 99.9%). A stratified analysis by HBV screening strategy demonstrated that in the studies providing participants with on-site HBV testing, the proportion receiving HBV testing (80%, 95%CI: 72-87%) was significantly higher compared to the studies referring participants to an external site for HBV testing (54%, 95%CI: 37-71%). In the studies implementing an intervention to enhance linkage of people diagnosed with HBV infection to clinical care, the interventions included different components and varied across studies. The most common component was post-test counselling followed by assistance with scheduling clinical appointments, conducted in 52% and 38% of the studies, respectively. In meta-analysis, a pooled estimate of 73% of people with HBV infection were linked to HBV clinical care (95%CI: 64-81%), with high heterogeneity across studies (range: 28-100%; I-square: 99.2%). A stratified analysis by study population demonstrated that in the studies among general population in high prevalence countries, 94% of people (95%CI: 88-100%) who received the study intervention were linked to care, significantly higher than 72% (95%CI: 61-83%) in studies among migrants from high prevalence area living in a country with low prevalence. In 19 studies, HBV vaccination uptake was assessed after an intervention, among which one study assessed birth dose vaccination among infants, one study assessed vaccination in elementary school children and 17 studies assessed vaccination in adults. Among studies assessing adult vaccination, a pooled estimate of 38% (95%CI: 21-56%) of people initiated vaccination, with high heterogeneity across studies (range: 0.5-93%; I square: 99.9%). A stratified analysis by HBV vaccination strategy demonstrated that in the studies providing on-site vaccination, the uptake was 78% (95%CI: 62-94%), significantly higher compared to 27% (95%CI: 13-42%) in studies referring participants to an external site for vaccination. Conclusion This systematic review identified a wide variety of interventions, mostly multi-component interventions, to enhance HBV screening, linkage to HBV clinical care, and HBV vaccination coverage. High heterogeneity was observed in effectiveness of interventions in all three domains of screening, linkage to care, and vaccination. Strategies identified to boost the effectiveness of interventions included providing on-site HBV testing and vaccination (versus referral for testing and vaccination) and including community education focussed on HBV or liver cancer in an HBV screening program. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of more novel interventions (e.g., point of care testing) and interventions specifically including Indigenous populations, people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men, and people incarcerated.

In June 2012, the RAM Program conducted a comprehensive field study to evaluate the performance of current off the shelf sensor technologies for detecting gas and oil leaks on pipelines. This study had three key objectives: 1. Evaluate the capabilities of current technologies that are offered commercially for methane leak detection monitoring using standard pipeline patrol aircraft 2. Provide a test location for development of emerging technologies that are not yet commercially available for pipeline leak detection 3. Assess the feasibility of using airborne sensors to detect staged liquid oil leaks The field study was conducted on two of Enbridge�s operating pipelines located near Mineral Wells, Texas. This location provided realistic conditions for assessing the capabilities and limitations of automated sensor systems that are currently available for leak detection. Three airborne leak detection vendors (Lasen, Pergam, and New Era Technology), and one ground vehicle vendor (Picarro), completed the field study. The field study was performed as part of the 2012 PRCI RAM program that is primarily focused on leak detection technologies using aerial platforms. The study tested a range of sensors designed for gas leak detection using systems mounted on helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. Enbridge staged a series of controlled gas releases simulating pipeline gas leaks. Qualified operators released a series of prescribed natural gas leaks from 8 known locations along the pipelines in order to simulate transmission leaks of varying sizes. Additionally, Enbridge placed 8 liquid petroleum targets along the test pipelines. These gas and oil targets allowed for a direct comparison of technology performance against a known set of conditions. Standard leak patrol methods (ground survey with foot patrol) were also used to identify any emission sources other than the controlled releases. The results from the field study show that 3 of the 4 vendor sensor technologies tested are now feasible alternatives for gas leak detection. The findings for liquid leak detection were promising, but inconclusive due to plume overlaps between gas and oil targets. The sensors used by the vendors in this field test were optimized for detecting methane gas and not oil vapors. Therefore, until additional studies are performed on liquid hydrocarbon volatilization, it is premature to conclude that the tested technologies are or are not appropriate for oil leak detection.
