Application of remote real-time monitoring to offshore oil and gas operations / by National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287; National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.Committee on the Application of Real-Time Monitoring of Offshore Oil and Gas Operations,issuing body.(CARDINAL)626308;
Includes bibliographical references.Background -- Industry overview -- Benefits of and considerations for remote real-time monitoring -- Findings and recommendations -- Appendixes."TRB Special Report 322: Application of Remote Real-Time Monitoring to Offshore Oil and Gas Operations provides advice to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) of the U.S. Department of the Interior on the use of remote real-time monitoring (RRTM) to improve the safety and reduce the environmental risks of offshore oil and gas operations. The report also evaluates the role that RRTM could play in condition-based maintenance and how BSEE could leverage RRTM into its safety enforcement program. The report makes recommendations to BSEE about how RRTM could be incorporated into BSEE's regulatory scheme. The recommendations also suggest that BSEE monitor the development of RRTM technologies in relation to risk-based goals governing offshore oil and gas processes"--Back cover.

Electrically conductive polymer concrete overlay as secondary anode for cathodic protection / by Fontana, J. J.(CARDINAL)319132; United States.Federal Highway Administration.(CARDINAL)139839; Brookhaven National Laboratory.(CARDINAL)139928;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 59-60).Introduction -- Program objectives -- Experimental results -- Full-scale field demonstration -- Field evaluations of the conductive polymer concrete overlay -- Evaluation of the cathodic protection system using an electronically conductive polymer concrete overlay as the secondary anode -- Cost analysis -- References.Final report;This report describes the development of a premixed electrically conductive polymer concrete overlay for use on bridge decks and other concrete members, in conjunction with cathodic protection systems. A field demonstration was performed on a bridge deck (with corroding reinforcing steel) in Pulaski, Virginia, where an active cathodic protection system uses the electrically conductive overlay as the secondary anode to uniformly distribute the current across the bridge deck surface. The performance of the overlay cathodic protection system was monitored for 18 months. The data show that corrosion of the reinforcing steel embedded in the bridge deck was arrested. The overlay is soundly bonded, and there are no indications that the overlay is wearing due to traffic. This report is the conclusion of the research study. Details of the mix design and the installation of the conductive polymer concrete overlay are described in the Interim Report, FHWA-RD-88-145, dated January 1989.Sponsored by Office of Engineering and Highway Operations R&D, Federal Highway Administration, under contract no.

But without a road map, sifting through the sheer quantity of information to find the right answers is foolhardy. The first edition of this text is well established as an essential navigational tool for both LIS students and professionals; now this newly revised, peer-reviewed update is even more attuned to new sources and types of government information and how best to locate them. Unmatched in its scope, this book covers such key topics as the history of government information, from its colorful beginnings to the era of Wikileaks, Edward Snowden, and data breaches; how to think like a government documents librarian in order to find information efficiently, plus other research tips; all types of law resources and information, including public laws and the U.S. Code, Case Law and the judicial branch, and regulations; Congressional literature, from bills and committee hearings to the U.S. Congressional Serial Set; patents, trademarks, and intellectual property; census data, educational information, and other statistical resources; health information, with an in-depth look at the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the trend toward and impact of online medical records; and science, environmental, and energy resources from agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. Exercises throughout the text support instruction, while the approachable and well-organized style make it ideal for day-to-day reference use"--
