Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting 46, n. 1 (settembre 2002): 91–95. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/154193120204600119.
Abstract (sommario):
The present study investigated a link between plan continuation errors and plan monitoring. Pilots were asked to execute a flight plan that traversed through hazardous airspace and then monitor the success of the plan by seeking and detecting changes in the airspace that could affect the safety of the plan. Following change detection, pilots had the opportunity to revise these plans. In nearly one-third of trials, pilots failed to revise flight plans, thereby committing a plan continuation error, and were more likely to do so when plan monitoring was inadequate. Overall, more than half of changes went undetected, though detection response times were improved when changes were relevant to the flight planning task or when traffic aircraft were changed rather than weather systems. Findings imply that plan monitoring is less than perfect, which may be a substantial contributing factor to plan continuation errors.

Abstract (sommario):
Indonesia's diverse geography,politics, economic, religion, culture and language contribute to wide diversity in the enjoyment of human rights. The dignity o] indi• vidual cannot and should not be divided into two spheres - that of civil and politi• cal rights and that of economic, social and cultural rights. Individual must be able to enjoy freedom of wants as well as freedom from fear. The ultimate goal of ensur• ing respect for the dignity of individual cannot be achieved without that person's enjoying all of his or her rights. The National Plan of Action on Human Rights in Indonesia is intended as a guidance and general plan to enhance the efforts in increasing the respect, promotion, fulfillment and protection human rights. The 2004-2009 Nation Plan ofAction on Human Rights is a continuation of the Nation Plan of Action on Human Rights for the year 1998-2003. The new plan of action is intended to complete the unfinished works in the previous period

Huang, Yue. "Exploring High School English Teaching Strategies for Continuation Writing based on Discourse Cohesion Theory". Frontiers in Sustainable Development 4, n. 4 (30 aprile 2024): 196–204. http://dx.doi.org/10.54691/am3ywq06.
Abstract (sommario):
As a new type of question under the background of the new college entrance examination, continuation writing requires the writer to continue the article based on the context provided in the previous text, supplemented by the situational context of the article, and ensuring the logical coherence of the content. Discourse cohesion theory focuses on the coherence of grammar and vocabulary in discourse organization, aiming to construct a complete and coherent discourse text. The cohesive means under this theory can help writers to produce a well-structured, logically clear, and coherent article to a certain extent. Starting from the concept and existing problems of continuation writing, this article analyzes and explores the points of convergence between discourse cohesion theory and continuation writing, and proposes several teaching strategies to better guide writing teaching and improve students' writing ability. From the perspective of discourse cohesion theory, teachers can guide students to select appropriate referencing methods, plan the overall layout, pay attention to smooth connections, maintain logical clarity, and skillfully use substitution and ellipsis to refine language, making the writing process more efficient.

Lebel, Christine. "L'élaboration du plan de continuation de l'entreprise en redressement judiciaire". Dijon, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996DIJOD006.
Abstract (sommario):
La loi du 25 janvier 1985 a mis en place une procédure de redressement judiciaire destinée à permettre la sauvegarde de l'entreprise, le maintien de l'activité et de l'emploi et l'apurement du passif. Son utilité économique et sociale est désormais prise en compte. Le redressement judiciaire s'ouvre par une période d'observation au cours de laquelle l'administrateur analyse globalement la situation de l'entreprise dans le bilan économique et social. L’activité de l'entreprise est continuée et le débiteur doit trouver les moyens de la financer. La loi de 1985 contient des dispositions dérogatoires au droit commun sans remettre en cause totalement les droits des tiers. Simultanément l'administrateur rédige le projet de plan contenant des propositions d'apurement du passif et des mesures destinées à restructurer l'entreprise. Il est soumis à la consultation des créanciers afin d'informer le tribunal. La juridiction statue sur le projet de plan. En cas d'adoption, l'élaboration est terminée et son exécution commence alorsThe act of January 25, 1985 established a judicial procedure of settlement with a view to rescuing a company maintaining economic activity and employment as well as settling debts. The economic and social utility of the company is now taken account. The judicial decision reorganizes a period of assessment. The situation of the company is analyzed globally in the economic and social statement. During this time the company continues its activity and the debtor has to find the funds for financing the company. The act of 1985 contains provisions deviating from common law without questioning the rights of third parties. At the same time, the trustee draws up a project for continuing the activity of company, proposals for settling the debts as well as measures for reorganizing the company. The court decides to reject the project of continuing or to accept it. Then the establishment of continuation project is finalized before implementation is started

Abstract (sommario):
L'objectif de cette thèse est d'analyser l'influence des non linéarités, du comportement rhéologique des fluides rhéofluidifiants, sur les conditions de stabilité et de transition vers la turbulence. Dans un premier temps, une analyse linéaire de stabilité avec une approche modale a été réalisée. Les résultats obtenus mettent clairement en évidence l'effet stabilisant de la rhéofluidification. Ensuite, une analyse faiblement non linéaire de stabilité a été menée en vue d'examiner l'influence de la perturbation de la viscosité sur la stabilité vis à vis de perturbations d'amplitude finie. L'analyse de la contribution des termes non linéaires d'inertie et visqueux montre que, contrairement aux termes d'inertie, les termes non linéaires visqueux ont tendance à accélérer l'écoulement et favoriser une bifurcation sur-critique. Les effets rhéofluidifiants tendent à réduire la dissipation visqueuse. Finalement, une analyse fortement non linéaire de stabilité a été conduite en utilisant les techniques de suivi de branches de solutions par des méthodes de continuation. Pour pouvoir traiter les termes visqueux fortement non linéaires, un code de calcul pseudo-spectral a été développé. Des solutions non linéaires d'équilibre ont été obtenues et caractérisées pour différentes valeurs des paramètres rhéologiquesThe aim of this study is to understand the influence of the nonlinear rheological behaviour of the shear-thinning fluids on the flow stability and transition to turbulence. First, a linear stability analysis using modal approach was carried out. Results clearly highlight the stabilizing effect of shear-thinning. Then, as a first approach to take into account nonlinear effects of viscosity perturbation on the flow stability, a weakly nonlinear stability analysis is performed in the neighbourhood of the critical conditions. Results indicate that shear-thinning reduces the viscous dissipation and, in contrast to inertial terms, the nonlinear viscous terms tend to accelerate the flow and act in favour of supercritical bifurcation. Finally, a nonlinear stability analysis is done by following solution branches in the parameter space using continuation techniques. To deal with highly nonlinear viscous terms, a pseudo-spectral code is developed. Nonlinear equilibrium solutions was found and characterized for various values of the rheological parameters

Abstract (sommario):
The design of a mixed-use market, three axes of influence was studied on a site at the end of King Street in Alexandria, VA.
A semicircular form was developed that terminated the main circulation axis down King Street, continued the free form edge of the Potomac, and acted as a visual beginning to the "new world" of Washington, DC across the river.
While the marketplace still remains as an enduring and appealing image of the city, it has diminished in recent years. Climate controlled indoor malls and shopping centers sprawl across the . country, and many of the real marketplaces have fallen into disrepair, physically and symbolically losing their traditional role as a forum for the people.
There has, however, been a resurgence of interest in the markets in the past decade. As people grow tired of impersonal service, the poor quality of goods and produce, and the often nondescript atmosphere, many of the older markets are being re-inhabited by farmers, artists and others seeking to sell their products. Around many urban centers, people are rediscovering the simple premise of the market which serves as a canvas for the explosion of colors, sights, sounds and smells it contains.Master of Architecture

Ligan, Mahoutin. "La déclaration de créances et le nouveau droit des entreprises en difficulté : Approche comparative Droit français/Droit OHADA". Electronic Thesis or Diss., Toulon, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020TOUL0136.
Abstract (sommario):
La déclaration de créance est une procédure obligatoire réservée à tous les créanciers d'un débiteur qui fait l'objet d'une procédure collective. Elle a principalement une finalité financière et à pour objectif la connaissance du passif du débiteur, et donc de mesurer son endettement au jour du jugement d'ouverture. Cela se justifie par le fait que le nouveau droit des entreprises en difficultés, contrairement à la faillite ancienne, instaure une soumission aux règles rigoureuses de la discipline collective à tous les créanciers de l'entreprise défaillante. Lesquelles règles limitent le pouvoir d'action des créanciers contre cette dernière.il va sans dire que la déclaration de créance revêt un avantage considérable pour le débiteur dans la mesure où elle permet au tribunal d’apprécier (après les procédures de vérification et d'admission des créances), les solutions envisageables pour le sauvetage de l'entreprise défaillante à travers le poids de son passif exigible. De même, elle permet d'entretenir une certaine égalité entre les créanciers de l'entreprise qui vont assurer la reconnaissance de leur droit afin de sauvegarder leur chance de participer à la procédure collective de leur débiteur. Son fondement juridique est précisé par les articles L. 622-24 et suivants du code de commerce français et 78 et suivants de l'acte uniforme portant organisation des procédures collectives (AUPC). Ainsi, à partir de la publication du jugement d'ouverture, tous les créanciers dont la créance est née antérieurement au jugement d'ouverture et les créanciers postérieurs exclus du traitement préférentiel de l'article L. 662-17 du code de commerce français, à l'exception des salariés, adressent la déclaration de leurs créances au mandataire judiciaire dans un délai de deux (2) mois. à défaut de déclaration, les créances non déclarées sont frappées de forclusion et les créanciers négligeant sont exclus des opérations de distribution pendant toute la procédure. Lorsque le créancier a été relevé de forclusion conformément à l'article L. 622-26 du code de commerce français, les délais ne courent qu'à compter de la notification de cette décision ; ils sont alors réduits de moitié. Le délai de déclaration court à l'égard de ceux-ci à compter de la notification de cet avertissement. La déclaration de créance était traditionnellement assimilée à une demande en justice. Ainsi jusqu'à l’ordonnance du 12 mars 2014, il était exigé, pour la validité de la déclaration faite par une personne autre que le débiteur, un mandat spécial donné par écrit pour l'effectuer. De même, le mandataire devait ensuite être capable d'apporter la preuve du mandat reçu jusqu'au jour où le juge statue. Dans le nouveau droit des entreprises en difficulté, la déclaration de créance est perçue comme un simple acte conservatoire, dans la mesure où elle s'apparente, par certains cotés, plus à une mise en demeure ou à une formalité administrative. Nous devons cette remise en cause de la nature de la déclaration de créance à l’ordonnance française du 12 mars 2014. Ce qu'il convient de saluer dans la mesure où cette évolution contribue à l'amélioration de la conservation des droits des créanciers. Malgré le lien de parenté très poussé existant entre les législation française et OHADA, force est de constater que le législateur OHADA n'a pas su profiter de sa récente réforme du 10 septembre 2015 pour simplifier la procédure de déclaration de créance comme cela a été fait en 2014 en France. Si un tel manquement peut se justifier par la jeunesse de la législation en vigueur dans la zone OHADA, il convient pour le législateur OHADA, qu'une évolution soit envisagée en la matière. ce qui peut inciter, à notre sens, le débiteur à fournir aux organes de la procédure, une liste complète de ses créanciers et permettre ainsi à ces derniers de bénéficier des mêmes chances d'être désintéressésThe declaration of claim is a compulsory procedure reserved for all creditors of a debtor who is the subject of collective proceedings. It has a mainly financial purpose and its objective is to ascertain the debtor's liabilities, and therefore to measure his indebtedness on the day of the opening judgment. This is justified by the fact that the new law on companies in difficulty, unlike the old bankruptcy, introduces a submission to the rigorous rules of collective discipline for all the creditors of the failing company. It goes without saying that the declaration of claims is of considerable benefit to the debtor in that it allows the court to assess (after the verification and admission of claims) the possible solutions for rescuing the failing company through the weight of its liabilities. Similarly, it makes it possible to maintain a certain equality between the company's creditors, who will ensure that their rights are recognised in order to safeguard their chance of participating in the collective procedure of their debtor. Its legal basis is specified by Articles L. 622-24 et seq. of the French Commercial Code and 78 et seq. of the Uniform Act Organising Collective Proceedings (AUPC).Thus, from the publication of the opening judgment, all creditors whose claims arose prior to the opening judgment and subsequent creditors excluded from the preferential treatment of Article L. 662-17 of the French Commercial Code, with the exception of employees, shall send a declaration of their claims to the judicial representative within two (2) months. Where the creditor has been relieved of foreclosure in accordance with Article L. 622-26 of the French Commercial Code, the time limits only run from the notification of this decision; they are then reduced by half. The time limit for filing a claim runs from the notification of this warning. Traditionally, a claim declaration was treated as a legal claim. Thus, until the Ordinance of 12 March 2014, a special written mandate was required for the validity of a declaration made by a person other than the debtor. Similarly, the agent then had to be able to provide proof of the mandate received until the day the judge ruled. In the new law on companies in difficulty, the declaration of claim is perceived as a simple conservatory act, insofar as it is, in certain respects, more akin to a formal notice or an administrative formality. We owe this reconsideration of the nature of the declaration of claim to the French order of 12 March 2014.This is to be welcomed insofar as this development contributes to improving the preservation of creditors' rights. Despite the close relationship between French and OHADA legislation, it must be noted that the OHADA legislator has not taken advantage of its recent reform of 10 September 2015 to simplify the procedure for declaring claims as was done in 2014 in France. While such a failure can be justified by the youth of the legislation in force in the OHADA zone, it is appropriate for the OHADA legislator to consider a change in this area. In our opinion, this could encourage the debtor to provide the bodies of the procedure with a complete list of his creditors and thus enable the latter to benefit from the same chances of being paid

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic brought severe, widespread disruptions to education worldwide. As the first country to encounter the COVID-19 outbreak, China has taken fast and decisive steps to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on education. Shortly after the outbreak, the Chinese government launched the “Classes Suspended but Learning Continues” emergency plan, which urged all schools to close and shift their teaching and learning activities entirely online. This chapter provides a critical account of the collective efforts made by different sectors across the country to maintain the continuation of education at all levels. These include: (1) a survey of the policies and measures introduced to facilitate the emergent transition to online delivery modes; (2) a reflection on the country’s experience of successfully maintaining the provision of education for over 200 million students; and (3) an elaboration of the challenges encountered that suggest directions for future research. We hope that sharing China’s experience in this chapter can contribute to the ongoing global conversations on how to better prepare education in times of crisis.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractIndonesia’s water resources governance aims at delivering the basic needs of a growing population whilst being constrained by ecosystems’ carrying capacity. The main causes of regulatory overlaps and prevalent “silo mentality” in water governance are sought by analysing laws, regulations, and policies. Over time, water resources governance has aimed to address food, water, and energy needs through infrastructural approaches, forest and land rehabilitation, and community participation. It is anchored in the river basin territory and watershed concepts. Public decision-making, however, puts anthropogenic considerations at its core rather than hydrological aspects, leading to misfits between institutions and ecosystem functioning. Ineffective legal instruments and policies are essentially due to institutional constraints. A synthesis of the three major water regulations—Government Regulation 37/2012 concerning Watershed Management, Law 17/2019 concerning Water Resources, and Government Regulation 26/2008 concerning National Spatial Plan—reveals little ownership of watershed management with regional/local governments since responsibilities are delegated by the central government to a technical agency; limited focus on green water (social and ecological) governance approaches compared with blue water (hard infrastructural) ones; and weak law enforcement and formulation of strategies for maintaining ecosystem functioning. Our recommendations include an ecoregional water governance with a thoroughly designed performance and target indicators; continuation of development plans built on previous plans and outcomes; continuity in water resources monitoring and evaluation; society-wide participation; and synchronisation of regulatory processes of all administrative levels led by the President in collaboration with Parliament using “carrot and stick” modes.

Abstract (sommario):
Before completing his uncharacteristically hopeful filmic vision of an African Oresteia, Pier Paolo Pasolini invented a theatrical continuation of Aeschylus’s trilogy. Pilade (1966/70) imagines what happens after Orestes, having being absolved by the Aeropagos in Athens, goes back to Argos. With its clear allusions to political developments in the last century – fascism, the Resistance, and Communist revolutions – the play reads as a mythical allegory for the situation of engaged intellectuals in the twentieth century.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractDeterrence is more than anything a psychological mechanism. It depends on emotions that orchestrate processes across organisms to deal with the challenges of the present and the future. However, deterrence scholarship has had a turbulent relationship with emotions. The main aim of this chapter is to review what we know and what we do not know about emotions and deterrence. The secondary aim is to develop a dynamic and interactive emotion-centric model of deterrence to explain where and how emotions play a role in such a mechanism. We combine the methods of theoretical analysis and literature review to achieve these aims. Our findings indicate that emotions give a new meaning to deterrence by changing the nature of the theory and by highlighting problems of practice. More specifically, scholars should reconsider both the means and the ends of deterrence. Practitioners should be aware that deterrence efforts are hard to sustain and may produce emotional effects detrimental to their original purpose.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractA large strand of research in the economics and sociology of education has highlighted the existence of deeply rooted inequalities in educational choices along socioeconomic lines, even when net of prior performance. These disparities may take different forms at different stages of schooling and across institutional systems. Yet, due to the lack of data, it is often difficult to disentangle the role played by the various dimensions of socioeconomic background on students’ educational careers. While parental education and occupation may shape aspirations (and thus the wish to undertake ambitious educational programmes), lack of income could represent a material obstacle to the continuation of study. In this chapter, we focus on the effect of financial conditions on the probability of dropping out from university. Italy is an interesting study case, because the education system is mainly public and university tuition fees are relatively low and income progressive. Because direct costs for disadvantaged students are low, we would expect income not to be highly relevant in this context. By exploiting a unique data set from the University of Torino (in northern Italy) linking administrative data from students’ university careers and information on parental characteristics collected at matriculation, we analyse how socioeconomic background influences the first-year dropout probability. While extremely relevant in earlier educational outcomes, parental education and occupation no longer exert a sizable effect at this point in students’ lives. Instead, we find that economic conditions greatly influence the chances of completing university. This result suggests that low tuition fees may be insufficient to foster the participation of low-income high school graduates and that additional forms of support might be needed to ensure equity and, at the same time, raise the share of young people with higher education degrees, which is still too low in Italy.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractSince 1995, the Qatar Foundation (QF) has played a key role in the development of Qatar through education, science, and community development. QF is an “umbrella” array of more than 50 entities covering the entire educational system from PreK-12 schools to doctoral higher education, in addition to a variety of related organizations supporting innovation, health, culture, and community development. This case study examines how the QF Multiverse-city (MultiverCity) model has created synergies between Higher Education and Pre-University Education, which have contributed to support educational continuity during the pandemic across the Foundation and beyond. All the programs shifted to the online delivery mode and new professional development programs and online resources were designed and delivered to teachers to support them in this sudden transition. Also, QF organized a series of virtual global conferences addressing the impact of COVID-19 on education, the responses of schools and systems, and how to reimagine education postcrisis. An electronic publication discussing the different experiences shared in the conference with policy recommendations is being released with the aims of informing policymakers and educators in Qatar and globally.The unique ecosystem of QF has shown its advantages by witnessing a significant proliferation of initiatives devoted to supporting the continuation of elementary and secondary education both in QF schools and nationwide. One of the success factors of these initiatives is the strong links and partnerships that QF has established between its entities and all the education stakeholders nationally and internationally over the past 25 years. Community outreach and support to PreK-12 education have always been integral to QF strategy. At the same time, the pandemic has provided opportunities for further impact research, and for further learning about the impact of contingencies, implementation of emergency plans, and best practices for more effective connectedness between different levels of the educational system.

Abstract (sommario):
Electrical Engineering is one of the leading fields in the professional working world. Every day a novel idea is being adapted into the program to insure the progression of the students and to increase the possibility of the learning experience. Active Teaching methods are today’s leading approach in educational enhancement. We at Taibah University have successfully ran a course (GE 102: Introduction to Engineering Design) via the method of active teaching approach. Adopting these methods on Electric Circuit 1, Digital Design 1, Electronics 1, Signals and Systems, and Power System Analysis 1 courses at the second year program studies will advances the students learning capabilities. For those students who successfully complete these courses will advance into the third year at the program. To assure a 100% retention rate, we promote a gate in association with the vocational college to accept those students who would fail the completion of this year in a smooth manor with their program and graduate from the vocational college.

Abstract (sommario):
In this paper, we discuss the impacts of the pandemic generated by COVID-19 on Brazilian Higher Education, specifically at a State University of Bahia, Brazil. To do so, we present a brief contextualization of the progress of the pandemic in Brazil, in the state of Bahia and in the region where the University is located. We also present the laws and regulations elaborated by different governmental bodies, especially the Ministry of Education, for the continuation of classes, in face-to-face undergraduate courses, by remote means. Despite the initial emphasis of these regulations on the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies, later there was a flexibility regarding the means for offering the remote classes. As for the case of the University discussed here, the continuation of undergraduate courses’ classes interrupted by the pandemic, via the Emergency Remote Education, was approved on July 9th. We focus specifically on the outline of the student digital inclusion program, which provides scholarships for the acquisition of equipment, internet services and transportation. The results show that the resources allocated to this plan are insufficient, given the socioeconomic low-profile of the students. In addition, many of them live in locations with insufficient or no internet available, as well as are working and/or taking care of people full-time during the pandemic. Thus, the guarantee of access of students to the Emergency Remote Education, as well as the quality of this Education, may not be ensured through this plan.

Abstract (sommario):
The management of information flows (data) of national statistical services requires the development of mechanisms that ensure a broad description of statistical indicators included in the statistical work plan of the relevant organizations, consistent with certain norms (requirements). The article examines the key approaches to the formation of "quality passports of statistical indicators" and assesses the possibility of applying the relevant experience in Russian practice. It is noted that the "passport of the quality of statistical indicators" should be a continuation of the already existing "passports of indicators" presented in the Unified Interdepartmental Information and Statistical System.

Abstract (sommario):
This paper presents a new approach to simultaneously determine the optimal robot base placement and motion plan for a prescribed set of tasks using expanded Lagrangian homotopy. First, the optimal base placement is formulated as a constrained optimization problem based on manipulability and kinematics of the robot. Then, the constrained optimization problem is expressed into the expanded Lagrangian system and subsequently converted into a homotopy map. Finally, the Newton-Raphson method is used to solve the constrained optimization problem as a continuation problem. The complete formulation for the case of a 6-DOF manipulator is presented and a planar optimal mobile platform motion planning approach is proposed. Numerical simulations confirm that the proposed approach is able to achieve the desired results. The approach also shows the potential for incorporating factors such as joint limits or collision avoidance into the motion planning process as inequality constraints and will be part of future research.

Abstract (sommario):
NRC Information Notice 98-31[1] describes a water hammer event that occurred at Columbia Generating Station. In this event, actuation of a Fire Protection System (FPS) led to voiding in a tall dead-ended riser with subsequent water hammer in the riser when the main fire pumps were activated. Due to the severity of the event, NRC requires that FPS with similar configurations at other nuclear power plants be analyzed for similar events. This paper describes an evaluation of two selected riser piping systems performed to quantify the susceptibility of the potential water hammer events in the FPS at a nuclear power plant. The FPS was modeled in a proprietary computer program, USLAM (Hydraulic Analysis Code), and selected operational scenarios (analysis cases) were analyzed to quantify the potential waterhammer loads (fluid forces). A tall riser piping system in the Reactor Building was chosen as a sample system for structural dynamic analysis. Based on the results of the sample system, it was concluded that the fire protection piping systems could experience piping stress far exceed the faulted allowable loads as allowed by the ASME/ANSI piping code. A cost-effective mitigation scheme was then proposed plan in paper ICONE65-82622[2] as Part 1 of this study with consideration only hydraulic loading where 11 vacuum breakers are to be installed at various locations of the FPS. The structural analyses discussed only piping stress in this paper and demonstrate for the effectiveness of the proposed mitigation scheme from the revised hydrodynamic loads. As the continuation of Ref. 2, the results from this study validate the acceptance of these two piping systems.

Abstract (sommario):
This analysis, carried out within the Lettura e Progetto Laboratory of "Sapienza" University of Rome and based on the “processual” method, proposes the reconstruction, through the reading and interpretation of the formative process, of the urban settlement of Fiumicino, on the east coast of Rome . The area was formed by a set of fragmented interventions developed in different phases, with heterogeneous destinations and, apparently, no relation of necessity. The site appears mainly linked to the development of illegal buildings that date back to the second postwar period. However, a deeper analysis based on the reading and interpretation of the character of the building fabric, shows the existence of a clear relation of historical continuity between the today town and the territorial structures developed starting from the ancient city of Portus. Through this reading emerges the plan of a town connected to the activities of Porto Canale (Channel Port) in function since XVI Century. From the analysis of the historical cartography appears as a matrix route based on the continuation of the ancient via Portuense was formed in time and developed on the building routes that have resulted. We believe that this is a remarkable case study that exemplifies the formation of local identity at the edge of the metropolis as over time the area has developed a complex structure, connected to port activities, that is now forming its own urban character and individuality, so that recently it was constituted in autonomous municipality.

Abstract (sommario):
Tambora gas field, discovered in 1974 is located in a swamp area at the apex of Mahakam Delta, and it is adjacent to Nilam field, which is operated by another operator. Geologically, the Tambora and Nilam Fields have the same anticline structure that originates from the sediment provenance west of Kalimantan as reflected in present day Mahakam Delta. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the challenges to unlock the potential of the west flank area of Tambora Fields. The geological synthesis of both Tambora and Nilam fields shows similar net sand and pay distribution in lateral and vertical proportions. Most developments in the Tambora Anticline area are in the crest and the distances between wells are ~100-200m. Challenges to unlock potential in flank areas are derived from the limitation of wells and seismic data. Based on data and knowledge of the flank areas in both fields, the west flank has better productivity compared to the east. Therefore, geological synthesis is conducted in the west flank area to define hydrocarbon and reservoir properties. Furthermore, channel models were made from 2D seismic scouring, controlled by the continuation of well log channel facies in the anticline crest area. Based on the preliminary approach, 3 wells were proposed to unlock west flank Tambora potential and were integrated into the plan of development. Primarily, dynamic uncertainty affects the potential of the west flank since production in the anticline crest area is enormous, and the uncertainty was analyzed by drilling one recent well. The result shows that hydrocarbon in the flank is not fully connected with the anticline crest area and has proven the sidebar heterogeneity concept. These gave more confidence to seek further positive results and develop west flank Tambora to sustain Mahakam production in the future.

"Application of Enhanced Asset Value Framing AVF Approach to Unlock Significant Potential Value in Highly Compartmentalised and Stacked Reservoirs". In International Petroleum Technology Conference. IPTC, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.2523/iptc-21831-ms.
Abstract (sommario):
Abstract As host authority for all hydrocarbon resources in Malaysia, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM) has championed Asset Value Framing (AVF) since 2016 to facilitate identification of asset enhancing opportunities and to establish a roadmap for opportunity realization. This paper is the continuation of the previous paper (SPE-196486) which illustrated opportunity identification through AVF. In 2019, PETRONAS had embarked on benchmarking oil reservoirs for all Malaysian oil reservoirs which was used for the AVF process to improve economic recovery factor of an oil field and booking new contingent resources. This paper focuses on enhanced AVF approach to integrate subsurface, wells, surface and operations; coupled with recommended improvements to AVF process from lookback exercise, reservoir performance assessment, data analytic through reservoir benchmarking tool and assessment of analogue reservoirs. A case study will be shared from one of the largest oilfields in Sarawak wherein enhanced AVF approach was applied to unlock significant potential of which conventional techniques faced challenges in identifying opportunities. Field B consists of multi-layered depositional system with numerous fault-bounded accumulation areas. Benchmarking process was performed for each of reservoir units to estimate the potential recovery factor and degree of complexity. In reservoirs where current estimates of recovery factor were lower than the benchmark, these were screened to be considered for identification of new opportunities through AVF process. Additionally, benchmarking process was applied to evaluate optimal well spacing, need for secondary recovery and identification of potential challenges for future development planning. A paradigm shift was undertaken to AVF process itself whereby focused development plan was considered for the entire column of rock within every fault block - instead of chasing oil by reservoirs. This subsequently allowed an integrated approach to optimize well type and cost, infill and water injection well count, completion design and overall evacuation strategy. Application of reservoir benchmarking significantly improved the delivery of AVF process by identification of recovery gaps in the field and application of learnings from better performing reservoirs. This coupled with Enhanced AVF workflow approach of focused development plan has resulted a roadmap for Field B to achieve ultimate recovery factor of 40% through a number of potential development opportunities within the next few years. An enhanced AVF workflow coupled with benchmarking process has facilitated field potential evaluation within two months, leading to efficient decision making, resource accrual and value creation for all stakeholders. This workflow can be replicated to other fields, maximizing economic reserves, increasing asset value, and defining the development roadmap.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract Handil Field is a giant mature oil and gas field situated in Mahakam Delta, East Kalimantan Indonesia. Peripheral Low Salinity Water injection was performed since 1978 with an extraordinary result. The paper is intending to describe the success story of this secondary recovery by low salinity water injection application in the peripheral of Handil field main zone, which successfully increased the oil recovery and brought down the remaining oil saturation beyond the theoretical value of residual oil saturation number. Water producer wells were drilled to produce low salinity water from shallow reservoirs 400 - 1000 m depth then it was injected to main zone reservoirs where the main accumulation of oil situated. This low salinity water reacted positively with the rock properties and in-situ fluids which was described as wettability alteration in the reservoir. It is related to initial reservoir condition, connate water saturation, rock physics and connate water salinity. This peripheral scheme then observed having the sweeping effect on top of pressure maintenance due to long period of injection. The field production performance was indicating the important reduction of residual oil saturation in some reservoirs with continuous low salinity water injection. From static Oil in Place calculation, some reservoirs have high current oil recovery up to 80%. This was proved by in situ residual oil saturation measurement which was performed in 2007 and 2011. It was indicating the low residual saturation as low as 8% - 15%. This excellent result was embraced by a progressive development plan, where water flooding with pattern and chemical injection will be performed later on. The continuation of this peripheral injection is in an on-going development with patterns injection which is called water flooding development. An important oil recovery can be achieved with a simple scheme of low salinity injection, performed in a close network injection, where the water treatment is simple yet significant oil gain was recovered. This innovation technique brings more revenue with less investment compared to chemical EOR injection.

Abstract (sommario):
This report chronicles the work undertaken by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign to identify policies and design guidelines to plan for connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) in mid-sized regions in Illinois. The report starts with the goals of this work followed by a review of existing literature. The review addresses CAV technologies and scenario planning, including academic research articles, policies and guidance documents from federal and state agencies, and recent long-range transportation plans. The review findings are organized into three categories—drivers, levers, and impacts—to facilitate scenario-based planning and included key factors and trends in technology development and adoption (drivers), mechanisms that planners and policymakers may employ to intervene in or prepare for CAV futures (levers), and community-level outcomes of different plausible CAV futures (impacts). Primary research was undertaken first by interviewing practitioners in six mid-sized regions of Illinois to collect inputs about their needs and obstacles to planning for CAVs, as well as to understand their sense of their community’s preparedness for CAVs. The research team then conducted a detailed survey of over 700 residents from the Greater Peoria region to understand their would-be travel behavior and residential location decisions in a CAV future and general attitude toward self-driving cars. These inputs helped identify the key drivers, levers, and impacts to be employed in creating scenarios, a list of selected policies and design, and a framework to select appropriate responses based on the needs and desires of a community. The detailed scenarios are as follows: (1) continuation of the status quo, (2) private multimodal future, and (3) shared multimodal future. The policies and design guidelines are identified for each scenario and are categorized into six sets of action items: general, data and digitization, mobility and traffic, street design, infrastructure, and planning. Specific details of each action item are organized in a format that allows the user to consider each item carefully and to assess its feasibility in a specific region or city. The appendices include background documents related to primary research and, importantly, a handbook for practitioners.

It was the continuation of the munition monitoring started within the BMBF‐funded project UDEMM (Environmental Monitoring for the Delaboration of Munition in the Sea; https://udemm.geomar.de/) and is already part of the new project CONMAR (https://conmar‐ munition.eu/) as part of the DAM mission sustainMare (https://www.sustainmare.de/). Additional sampling supported chemical analysis method development within the MarTERA project AMMOTRACe (Marine AMMunitiOn dump site exploration by surface‐ and underwater‐based laser mass spectrometric TRACing technology; https://www.geomar.de/en/ammotrace ). The original plan was to first work for one week in the North Sea and have a crew change after one week in Kiel and continue working in the Baltic Sea. This plan changed; ALKOR worked instead in Baltic Sea in support of for the Federal Public Prosecutor General and the Federal Police during the first week. The change of crew happened on 18th October in Kiel and the original Baltic Sea cruise was conducted as planned.

Abstract (sommario):
The objective is to develop and evaluate environmental benign agents or products that are effective in the prevention, inhibition, and mitigation of microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) on the internal surfaces of metallic natural gas pipelines. The goal is one or more products that can be applied to maintain the structure and dependability of the natural gas infrastructure. The technical approach for this year has been to evaluate a number of methods to fractionate and concentrate the components found in the pepper extracts. The separation methods considered include size exclusion chromatography, hygroscopic and hydrophobic extraction with HPLC fractionation and analysis; preparative HPLC; and other methods based on the chemical class of compounds to be evaluated. The first classes to be studied are: terpenoids; phenolics; fatty metabolites; alkaloids; and other products of secondary metabolism in plants. Other methods to be reviewed as needed include: planar chromatography; supercritical water and CO2 extraction; and ion-exchange methods. A review of the patent literature and scientific databases found no evidence that any of the potential products have been patented, indicating potential for establishment of a strong intellectual property position. The work plan for the continuation of specific tasks of this project for two additional years was completed and accepted for funding. Laboratory testing protocols for control of biofilm formation and/or biocidal activities for both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms known to support MIC were codified.

Abstract (sommario):
In this technical report, the authors present a content analysis of state guidance on remote learning from the 2019-20 school year. As schools across the country closed in response to COVID-19, state education agencies (SEAs) developed guidance for use by districts on how to ensure the continuation of education during the pandemic. The described analysis applied an equity framework that was developed based on concepts drawn from a literature review to examine the extent to which SEAs addressed issues of equity in their remote learning recommendations. The analysis revealed variation in the extent to which states explicitly focused on equity in their guidance. The analysis also identified exemplar states that encouraged local educators to keep equity at the forefront of their planning.

Abstract (sommario):
Nearly five years following the creation of the Open Government Partnership (OGP), 15 member countries in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean are in the process of implementing open government policies.The OGP should be viewed as a collective work platform that enables ordinary citizens, representatives of civil society organizations, academia, and the private sector to collaborate with political authorities and civil servants in the design and implementation of public policy. Public scrutiny will be a measure by which authorities will be held accountable to provide absolute integrity and accountability. This paper is a continuation of the first review made of the regional panorama with regard to open government policy that was contained in the publication, Winds of Change, which examined the First Action Plans that were presented to the OGP by the same 15 member countries. This sequence provides a review of the Second Action Plans, and is an update in the form of a single statistical document that highlights the number of commitments and the issues that need addressing. The paper will focus on the OGP process and will offer recommendations on how to further stimulate the exercise and improve the quality of the information.

Katzir, Nurit, James Giovannoni e Joseph Burger. Genomic approach to the improvement of fruit quality in melon (Cucumis melo) and related cucurbit crops. United States Department of Agriculture, giugno 2006. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2006.7587224.bard.
Abstract (sommario):
Fruit quality is determined by numerous genetic traits that affect taste, aroma, texture, pigmentation, nutritional value and duration of shelf-life. The molecular basis of many of these important traits is poorly understood and it’s understanding offers an excellent opportunity for adding value to agricultural products. Improvement of melon fruit quality was the primary goal of the project. The original objectives of the project were: The isolation of a minimum of 1000 fruit specific ESTs. The development of a microarray of melon fruit ESTs. The analysis of gene expression in melon using melon and tomato fruit enriched microarrays. A comprehensive study of fruit gene expression of the major cucurbit crops. In our current project we have focused on the development of genomics tools for the enhancement of melon research with an emphasis on fruit, specifically the first public melon EST collection. We have also developed a database to relay this information to the research community and developed a publicly available microarray. The release of this information was one of the catalysts for the establishment of the International Cucurbit Genomic Initiative (ICuGI, Barcelona, Spain, July 2005) aimed at collecting and generating up to 100,000 melon EST sequences in 2006, leveraging a significant expansion of melon genomic resources. A total of 1000 ESTs were promised under the original proposal (Objective 1). Non-subtracted mature fruit and young fruit flesh of a climacteric variety in addition to a non-climacteric variety resulted in the majority of additional EST sequences for a total of 4800 attempted reads. 3731 high quality sequences from independent ESTs were assembled, representing 2,467 melon unigenes (1,873 singletons, 594 contigs). In comparison, as of June 2004, a total of 170 melon mRNA sequences had been deposited in GENBANK. The current project has thus resulted in nearly five- fold the number of ESTs promised and ca. 15-fold increase in the depth of publicly available melon gene sequences. All of these sequences have been deposited in GENBANK and are also available and searchable via multiple approaches in the public database (http://melon.bti.cornell.edu). Our database was selected as the central location for presentation of public melon EST data of the International Cucurbit Genomic Initiative. With the available unigenes we recently constructed a microarray, which was successfully applied in hybridizations (planned public release by August 2006). Current gene expression analyses focus on fruit development and on comparative studies between climacteric and non-climacteric melons. Earlier, expression profiling was conducted using macroarrays developed at the preliminary stage of the project. This analysis replaced the study of tomato microarray following the recommendations of the reviewers and the panel of the original project. Comparative study between melon and other cucurbit crops have begun, mainly with watermelon, in collaboration with Dr. Amnon Levi (USDA-ARS). In conclusion, all four objectives have been addressed and achieved. In the continuation project that have been approved we plan to apply the genomic tools developed here to achieve detailed functional analyses of genes associated with major metabolic pathway.

Lers, Amnon, Majid R. Foolad e Haya Friedman. genetic basis for postharvest chilling tolerance in tomato fruit. United States Department of Agriculture, gennaio 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2014.7600014.bard.
Abstract (sommario):
ABSTRACT Postharvest losses of fresh produce are estimated globally to be around 30%. Reducing these losses is considered a major solution to ensure global food security. Storage at low temperatures is an efficient practice to prolong postharvest performance of crops with minimal negative impact on produce quality or human health and the environment. However, many fresh produce commodities are susceptible to chilling temperatures, and the application of cold storage is limited as it would cause physiological chilling injury (CI) leading to reduced produce quality. Further, the primary CI becomes a preferred site for pathogens leading to decay and massive produce losses. Thus, chilling sensitive crops should be stored at higher minimal temperatures, which curtails their marketing life and in some cases necessitates the use of other storage strategies. Development of new knowledge about the biological basis for chilling tolerance in fruits and vegetables should allow development of both new varieties more tolerant to cold, and more efficient postharvest storage treatments and storage conditions. In order to improve the agricultural performance of modern crop varieties, including tomato, there is great potential in introgression of marker-defined genomic regions from wild species onto the background of elite breeding lines. To exploit this potential for improving tomato fruit chilling tolerance during postharvest storage, we have used in this research a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between the red-fruited tomato wild species SolanumpimpinellifoliumL. accession LA2093 and an advanced Solanum lycopersicumL. tomato breeding line NCEBR-1, developed in the laboratory of the US co-PI. The original specific objectives were: 1) Screening of RIL population resulting from the cross NCEBR1 X LA2093 for fruit chilling response during postharvest storage and estimation of its heritability; 2) Perform a transcriptopmic and bioinformatics analysis for the two parental lines following exposure to chilling storage. During the course of the project, we learned that we could measure greater differences in chilling responses among specific RILs compared to that observed between the two parental lines, and thus we decided not to perform transcriptomic analysis and instead invest our efforts more on characterization of the RILs. Performing the transcriptomic analysis for several RILs, which significantly differ in their chilling tolerance/sensitivity, at a later stage could result with more significant insights. The RIL population, (172 lines), was used in field experiment in which fruits were examined for chilling sensitivity by determining CI severity. Following the field experiments, including 4 harvest days and CI measurements, two extreme tails of the response distribution, each consisting of 11 RILs exhibiting either high sensitivity or tolerance to chilling stress, were identified and were further examined for chilling response in greenhouse experiments. Across the RILs, we found significant (P < 0.01) correlation between field and greenhouse grown plants in fruit CI. Two groups of 5 RILs, whose fruits exhibited reproducible chilling tolerant/sensitive phenotypes in both field and greenhouse experiments, were selected for further analyses. Numerous genetic, physiological, biochemical and molecular variations were investigated in response to postharvest chilling stress in the selected RILs. We confirmed the differential response of the parental lines of the RIL population to chilling stress, and examined the extent of variation in the RIL population in response to chilling treatment. We determined parameters which would be useful for further characterization of chilling response in the RIL population. These included chlorophyll fluorescence Fv/Fm, water loss, total non-enzymatic potential of antioxidant activity, ascorbate and proline content, and expression of LeCBF1 gene, known to be associated with cold acclimation. These parameters could be used in continuation studies for the identification and genetic mapping of loci contributing to chilling tolerance in this population, and identifying genetic markers associated with chilling tolerance in tomato. Once genetic markers associated with chilling tolerance are identified, the trait could be transferred to different genetic background via marker-assisted selection (MAS) and breeding. The collaborative research established in this program has resulted in new information and insights in this area of research and the collaboration will be continued to obtain further insights into the genetic, molecular biology and physiology of postharvest chilling tolerance in tomato fruit. The US Co-PI, developed the RIL population that was used for screening and measurement of the relevant chilling stress responses and conducted statistical analyses of the data. Because we were not able to grow the RIL population under field conditions in two successive generations, we could not estimate heritability of response to chilling temperatures. However, we plan to continue the research, grow the RIL progeny in the field again, and determine heritability of chilling tolerance in a near future. The IS and US investigators interacted regularly and plan to continue and expand on this study, since combing the expertise of the Co-PI in genetics and breeding with that of the PI in postharvest physiology and molecular biology will have great impact on this line of research, given the significant findings of this one-year feasibility project.

Abstract (sommario):
Control of agro-associated pathogens is becoming increasingly difficult due to increased resistance and mounting restrictions on chemical pesticides and antibiotics. Likewise, in veterinary and human environments, there is increasing resistance of pathogens to currently available antibiotics requiring discovery of novel antibiotic compounds. These drawbacks necessitate discovery and application of microorganisms that can be used as biocontrol agents (BCAs) and the isolation of novel biologically-active compounds. This highly-synergistic one year project implemented an innovative pipeline aimed at detecting BCAs and associated biologically-active compounds, which included: (A) isolation of multidrug-resistant desert soil bacteria and root-associated bacteria from medicinal plants; (B) invitro screening of bacterial isolates against known plant, animal and human pathogens; (C) nextgeneration sequencing of isolates that displayed antagonistic activity against at least one of the model pathogens and (D) in-planta screening of promising BCAs in a model bean-Sclerotiumrolfsii system. The BCA genome data were examined for presence of: i) secondary metabolite encoding genes potentially linked to the anti-pathogenic activity of the isolates; and ii) rhizosphere competence-associated genes, associated with the capacity of microorganisms to successfully inhabit plant roots, and a prerequisite for the success of a soil amended BCA. Altogether, 56 phylogenetically-diverse isolates with bioactivity against bacterial, oomycete and fungal plant pathogens were identified. These strains were sent to Auburn University where bioassays against a panel of animal and human pathogens (including multi-drug resistant pathogenic strains such as A. baumannii 3806) were conducted. Nineteen isolates that showed substantial antagonistic activity against at least one of the screened pathogens were sequenced, assembled and subjected to bioinformatics analyses aimed at identifying secondary metabolite-encoding and rhizosphere competence-associated genes. The genome size of the bacteria ranged from 3.77 to 9.85 Mbp. All of the genomes were characterized by a plethora of secondary metabolite encoding genes including non-ribosomal peptide synthase, polyketidesynthases, lantipeptides, bacteriocins, terpenes and siderophores. While some of these genes were highly similar to documented genes, many were unique and therefore may encode for novel antagonistic compounds. Comparative genomic analysis of root-associated isolates with similar strains not isolated from root environments revealed genes encoding for several rhizospherecompetence- associated traits including urea utilization, chitin degradation, plant cell polymerdegradation, biofilm formation, mechanisms for iron, phosphorus and sulfur acquisition and antibiotic resistance. Our labs are currently writing a continuation of this feasibility study that proposes a unique pipeline for the detection of BCAs and biopesticides that can be used against phytopathogens. It will combine i) metabolomic screening of strains from our collection that contain unique secondary metabolite-encoding genes, in order to isolate novel antimicrobial compounds; ii) model plant-based experiments to assess the antagonistic capacities of selected BCAs toward selected phytopathogens; and iii) an innovative next-generation-sequencing based method to monitor the relative abundance and distribution of selected BCAs in field experiments in order to assess their persistence in natural agro-environments. We believe that this integrated approach will enable development of novel strains and compounds that can be used in large-scale operations.
