Student Views about the Public Spot Advertisement Signs in the Context of Lifelong Learning (The Example of Reading Culture Themed Public Spot Advertisement)
Authors: Tanca H. Altug , Unal Fatma
Published: December 2017

It’s important that the messages and information in the public spot advertisements that is wanted to be conveyed to the individuals to be reached at the desired level and an asymmetric structure existing between the message prepared with a fictional structure and the perception between the message and the receiving party. Because, a decent perceptional connection between the receiving party and the fictionalized message shows the message has reached its purpose normally. From this angle, there’s an important connection between the public spot advertisements which has the purpose of creating a common consciousness and the concept of lifelong learning. In this research it’s aimed that the student views about lifelong learning and public spot advertising signs in the example of “Reading Culture Themed Public Spot Advertisement” to be examined. In the research phenomenology which is one of the qualitative research patterns has been used. The working group has been established with the method of criterion sampling and a research has been conducted with 9 volunteering participants. For data collection interview forms have been used and the data has been analysed with the method of descriptive analysis. In the research, it has been revived that public spot advertisements contribute to the lifelong learning of the participants. As a result of the analysis conducted in the research, the themes of lifelong learning, education-themed public spot advertisements, acquirement of lifelong learning experience and its contribution to the educational process, sharing, attitudes, visual coding, book-reading, attention and slogans have been arisen. In the research, significant differences haven’t occurred between positive and negative views of the participants according to the slogans broadcasted at the end of the public spot advertisements, however it’s been determined that there are positive critical approaches that the slogans are successfully conveying the messages expected to be given. More public spot advertisements to be prepared and working on social awareness on this subject has been suggested.

Authors: Ucus Sukran
Published: December 2017

Creativity is the critical point to developing innovative and effective citizens and children in learning social studies. The purpose of this study is to explore how creativity is promoted in social studies classrooms for young children and to research teachers’ opinions and interpretations of creativity in Turkish elementary schools. The study was conducted with in-depth interviews, teacher observation, and teacher drawings. The participants included 33 Grade -1 to Grade 4 (K1-K4) teachers, all of whom taught “life science” which is a key and preliminary subject for social studies from Grade 1 to Grade 3, and social studies for Grade 4 in central Turkey. The case study was used as a qualitative methodology. The data was analyzed using MAXQDA-11. The findings revealed that teachers were highly motivated and eager to nurture creativity in their students’ social studies learning in their implication for practice. They also indicated some obstacles regarding low-quality curriculum and instruction, teachers’ negative perceptions in promoting creativity, and finally a lack of teacher flexibility, freedom, and well-qualified professional development.
Evolving Korean Parenting Foundations Revealed through Children’s Perspectives of East Asian Parenting Beliefs, Styles and Practices
Authors: Otto Wendi J.
Published: December 2017

Research on parenting styles and children’s developmental outcomes have been prominent in the parenting and achievement literature for decades and research shows that parenting style is not consistent across families from diverse backgrounds (Baumrind, 1971; Chao, 1994; Grusec, Goodnow, & Kuzcynski, 2000). Building on this research, this study examines Korean parenting and its influence on Korean-American achievement by examining the common factors across East Asian parenting ideologies, styles, and practices through the East Asian Parenting Model (EAPM) (Chao, 1994; Choi, Kim, Pekelnicky, & Kim, 2013; Darling & Steinberg, 1993). Perceptions about child development and learning and the changing and evolving mother-child relationship are patterns particularly explored in this study. Overall, this study purports important findings regarding evolving Korean parenting foundations affecting Korean-American achievement which add to the field of Asian-American achievement literature. These findings may help inform educators working within school settings about ways in which Korean parenting foundations influence the education of these children.

Contexts of Understanding the Security Paradox
Authors: Jurczak Dariusz
Published: December 2017

The author of this article presented a theoretical understanding of the context and methodological paradox of safety.The selected issues of safety paradox of borderlands are highlighted examples of paradoxical approach of local authorities to the issue of safety of the local community. The material also shows the methodological reasons of safety paradox of borderland. Research on issues related to the safety of the unit appears as a trivial problem. A deeper look at the evaluation of the relationship between the sense of security of the individual and national security reveals the other side of the paradox. The problem is compounded by the fact that often decision-makers in the field of security are officials who do not have legal knowledge, in particular the rights and freedoms of the individual. The main part of the article are the selected topics regarding safety paradox of borderland. With regard to the broad perspective on the problem of human safety a departure from the assumption that not every threat to human development is also a security threat. On the other hand a narrow approach to it must be emphasized that this physical hazard exists only in relation to individual security and does not suit the contemporary danger to human life. The paradox of modern safety appears to us in the relationship between the sense of security of the individual, human rights protection, terrorist threats, and international, national, and local standards, also in cases of “ignoring” these standards by both the local authorities and government. Assessing the conditions under which the modern state creates social security institutions, to a number of objective trends must be captured. The overriding is the need to create institutional forms of counteracting the threats of the increasingly diverse nature.
Police in the System of Public Safety — Polish Experience
Authors: Justyński Krzysztof
Published: December 2017

As a uniformed and armed force, whose mission it is to serve and protect both people’s safety and public order, the police have been established on the basis of the 6 April 1990 Police Act. The basic police responsibilities cover protection of health, life and property against unlawful attacks, protection of public order and safety — including assurance of peace in public places and on public transport, investigation of crime, prosecution of offenders, and finally counter-terrorist activity. In addition, police are obliged to initiate and organize activities designed to prevent crime, minor offences and criminogenic phenomena. The list of police tasks is steadily getting longer and longer and it seems that this upward trend will continue in the years to come. This makes it necessary to implement legal and organizational solutions with a view to enhancing the effectiveness of policing — on the one hand measured by a systematic search for increasingly rational procedures, and on the other one by a decreasing number of illegal activities undertaken by the criminal underworld due to their awareness of the risk of being detected and the certainty of punishment. A good way of improving police performance is to precisely determine the tasks carried out as part of preventive
action as well as decisive action aimed at elimination of identified threats or their consequences.
Joint Operations of the Polish Armed Forces and the Police
Authors: Babiński Aleksander , Falecki Janusz
Published: December 2017

Task performance in the area of counteraction and removal of contemporary threats results requires a state to use all of its possible sources and resources. Main entities that carry out those tasks are Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland and Polish Police. Important areas of Polish Armed Forces and Police activities include tasks in the field of crisis management, security and public order maintenance, as well as country’s defence. An effective task performance in particular areas is highly reliant on the quality of joint operations of the entities. Different legislative acts only slightly define powers to organize joint operations by Armed Forces and Police, however, the rules of such operations are described in detail in the agreements concluded between them. The area of joint operations of Polish Armed Forces and Police which should be of much attention is a good organization of joint training courses and field exercises. Such undertakings would significantly improve the effectiveness of joint operations of the entities, consequently reducing the number of victims and material loss, improving the protection of natural environment and providing the state security at a high level.

Published: December 2017

Context.—

Serum tests used for the screening and diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathies include serum protein electrophoresis (SPE; agarose gel or capillary zone), immunofixation (IFE) and immunosubtraction capillary electrophoresis, serum free light chains, quantitative immunoglobulins, and heavy/light–chain combinations. Urine protein electrophoresis and urine IFE may also be used to identify Bence-Jones proteinuria.

Objective.—

To assess current laboratory practice for monoclonal gammopathy testing.

Design.—

In April 2016, a voluntary questionnaire was distributed to 923 laboratories participating in a protein electrophoresis proficiency testing survey.

Results.—

Seven hundred seventy-four laboratories from 38 countries and regions completed the questionnaire (83.9% response rate; 774 of 923). The majority of participants (68.6%; 520 of 758) used agarose gel electrophoresis as their SPE method, whereas 31.4% (238 of 758) used capillary zone electrophoresis. The most common test approaches used in screening were SPE with reflex to IFE/immunosubtraction capillary electrophoresis (39.3%; 299 of 760); SPE only (19.1%; 145 of 760); SPE and IFE or immunosubtraction capillary electrophoresis (13.9%; 106 of 760); and SPE with IFE, serum free light chain, and quantitative immunoglobulins (11.8%; 90 of 760). Only 39.8% (305 of 767) of laboratories offered panel testing for ordering convenience. Although SPE was used by most laboratories in diagnosing new cases of myeloma, when laboratories reported the primary test used to follow patients with monoclonal gammopathy, only 55.7% (403 of 724) chose SPE, with the next most common selections being IFE (18.9%; 137 of 724), serum free light chain (11.7%; 85 of 724), and immunosubtraction capillary electrophoresis (2.1%; 15 of 724).

Conclusions.—

Ordering and testing practices for the screening and diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy vary widely across laboratories. Improving utilization management and report content, as well as recognition and development of laboratory-directed testing guidelines, may serve to enhance the clinical value of testing.

What is in a reach? Domain-general spatial modulation of motor responses by number representations
Authors: Alonso-Diaz Santiago , Gaffin-Cahn Elon , Mahon Bradford Z. , Cantlon Jessica F.
Published: December 2017

Gaze, pointing, and reaching movements are thought to provide a window to internal cognitive states. In the case of numerical cognition, it has been found that the left-right deviation of a reaching movement is modulated by the relative magnitude of values in a number comparison task. Some have argued that these patterns directly reflect the representation of a logarithmically compressed mental number line (direct mapping view). However, other studies suggest that the modulation of motor outputs by numerical value could be a more general decision-making phenomenon (response competition view). Here we test the generality of interactions between the motor system and numerical processing by comparing subjects' reach trajectories during two different nonverbal tasks: numerosity comparison and facial expression comparison. We found that reaching patterns were practically identical in both tasks – reach trajectories were equally sensitive to stimulus similarity in the numerical and face comparisons. The data provide strong support for the response competition view that motor outputs are modulated by domain-general decision processes, and reflect generic decision confidence or accumulation of evidence related to mental comparison.
Visuo-spatial processes as a domain-general factor impacting numerical development in atypical populations
Authors: Crollen Virginie , Collignon Olivier , Noël Marie-Pascale
Published: December 2017

In the past few years, the role of both domain-specific and domain-general factors on numerical development and mathematics achievement has been debated. In this paper, we focus on the role of visuo-spatial processes. We will more particularly review the numerical abilities of populations presenting atypical visuo-spatial processes: individuals with blindness, hemineglect, children presenting low visuo-spatial abilities, non-verbal learning disorder or Williams syndrome. We will show that math abilities of each population are relatively unique and are not necessarily associated with generalized math impairment. We will show that a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each population gives further insights into our conceptual understanding of the development of numerical cognition. We will finally demonstrate how the comparison across disorders can impact on practical rehabilitation and educational strategies.
Magnitude estimation is influenced by social power
Authors: Huber Stefan , Bloechle Johannes , Dackermann Tanja , Scholl Annika , Sassenberg Kai , Moeller Korbinian
Published: December 2017

The action-specific perception account suggests that how people perceive the environment depends on their ability to act on it, assuming that estimation is influenced by inter-individual traits, but also by situated states. Moreover, several studies revealed that social power affects basic cognitive processes and even influences the way we perceive the physical environment. In the present study, we examined whether social power also influences estimation performance of spatial magnitudes (i.e., line estimation). Participants estimated the line length of a given number in an increase and a decrease condition, after (low versus high) social power had been manipulated between participants via role assignment. In the increase condition, low-power participants overestimated line lengths, whereas such a bias was not observed for high-power participants. In contrast, the power manipulation did not affect performance in the decrease condition, suggesting that proportion-judgement strategies might have been applied here, thereby reducing the overall bias in line estimations. Our findings support the notion that social power has an impact on the perception of the physical environment and that perception can depend on personal as well as situational factors. Moreover, the present research suggests that high (compared to low) social power may help people to overcome biases in overestimating magnitudes.
Planning and self-control, but not working memory, directly predict multiplication performance in adults
Authors: Nemati Parvin , Schmid Johanna , Soltanlou Mojtaba , Krimly Julian-Till , Nuerk Hans-Christoph , Gawrilow Caterina
Published: December 2017

Empirical evidence suggests that working memory (WM) is closely related to arithmetic performance. WM, which is the ability to monitor and update recent information, underlies various cognitive processes and behaviors including planning, self-regulation, and self-control. However, only a few studies have examined whether WM uniquely explains variance in arithmetic performance when other WM-related domain-general factors are taken into account. In this study, we examined whether WM explains unique variance in arithmetic performance when planning, self-regulation, and self-control are considered as well. We used the Tower of London task as a measure of planning, self-rated reports as a measure of self-regulation and self-control, and WM measures, to test which of these domain-general functions predicts complex multiplication performance. Results showed that planning predicted multiplication accuracy and self-control predicted response time, while WM and self-regulation did not predict complex multiplication performance. Although WM was not a direct predictor of multiplication performance, it possibly exerted its influence as part of planning ability. We suggest that complex multiplication is not predicted by WM per se, but rather by WM-related general cognitive and behavioral factors, namely self-control and the planning component of executive functions.
A role for attentional reorienting during approximate multiplication and division
Authors: Katz Curren , Hoesterey Hannes , Knops André
Published: December 2017

When asked to estimate the outcome of arithmetic problems, participants overestimate for addition problems and underestimate for subtraction problems, both in symbolic and non-symbolic format. This bias is referred to as operational momentum effect (OM). The attentional shifts account holds that during computation of the outcome participants are propelled too far along a spatial number representation. OM was observed in non-symbolic multiplication and division while being absent in symbolic multiplication and division. Here, we investigate whether (a) the absence of the OM in symbolic multiplication and division was due to the presentation of the correct outcome amongst the response alternatives, putatively triggering verbally mediated fact retrieval, and whether (b) OM is correlated with attentional parameters, as stipulated by the attentional account. Participants were presented with symbolic and non-symbolic multiplication and division problems. Among seven incorrect response alternatives participants selected the most plausible result. Participants were also presented with a Posner task, with valid (70%), invalid (15%) and neutral (15%) cues pointing to the position at which a subsequent target would appear. While no OM was observed in symbolic format, non-symbolic problems were subject to OM. The non-symbolic OM was positively correlated with reorienting after invalid cues. These results provide further evidence for a functional association between spatial attention and approximate arithmetic, as stipulated by the attentional shifts account of OM. They also suggest that the cognitive processes underlying multiplication and division are less prone to spatial biases compared to addition and subtraction, further underlining the involvement of differential cognitive processes.

A field study was conducted at paddy fields in Petarukan and Pekalongan regencies of Central Java province during wet season crop 1989/90 and 1990/91 to elucidate population dynamic of whitebacked planthopper, Sogatella furcifera Stål. Seven and three observation fields were set up in 1989/90 and the 1990/91, respectively. Cisadane rice cultivar was transplanted following the usual farmer’s parctices except that no pesticide was applied. The population of the whitebacked planthopper and the brown planthopper, (Nilaparvata lugens Stål) were sampled by using an insect suction catcher, a farmcop. Identification of generation was based on thermal constant required by the whitebacked planthopper to complete one generation and mean population density was calculated by graphical method. Two distinct seasonal population growth patterns were identified. The population with short population growth pattern completed four generations in one crop season in which their population density increased consecutively in two generations since immigrant generation, and thereafter decreased. The population with long population growth completed five generations in one crop season in which their population density increased consecutively in three generations, and thereafter decreased. The density of brachiptera adults determined 90% of the total population density. The proportion of brachiptera adults were not correlated with large nymphal density in both vegetative and generative stages of rice. The proportion of brachiptera adults showed significant negative linear regression with population density of the brown planthopper. Therefore, interspesific competition determined the proportion of wingform and population dynamics of the whitebacked planthopper.

Polyculture system is one of techniques in pest management. In Indonesia, cotton is always intercropped with second food crops such as maize, soybean, mungbean or peanut. This research was aimed to evaluate the effect of culture system, i.e. cotton monoculture vs. cotton intercropped with soybean on the increase of species diversity of H. armigera egg parasitoids and the parasitoid contribution to mortality of H. armigera. The research was arranged in a split plot design with two main factors: three cotton varieties with three levels of trichome density (Tamcot SP 37, Kanesia 8 and LRA 5166) and the subplots were two cultivation systems (cotton monoculture and polyculture), with three replicates. Observations were made by collecting H. armigera eggs on population of first generation (45 days after planting) and second generation (75 DAP). The results showed that on cotton polyculture the egg parasitoid complex which consisted of Trichogramma spp. and Trichogrammatoidea spp. was higher than that in cotton monoculture and so was the egg parasitism level. The increase of egg parasitism was 24% in the first generation and 15% in the second generation. Parasitoid species found belonged to the genera Trichogramma and Trichogrammatoidea. In the parasitoid complex, Trichogrammatoidea armigera was dominant on the first generation and Trichogramma chilotraeae on the second. The domination succession could be as a result of the higher host-searching capacity of T. chilotraeae than that of T. armigera.

Wheat stem rust, caused byPuccinia granimisf. sp.tritici, severely affects wheat production, but it has been effectively controlled in China since the 1970s. However, the appearance and spread of wheat stem rust races Ug99 (TTKSK, virulence toSr31), TKTTF (virulence toSrTmp) and TTTTF (virulence to the cultivars carryingSr9eandSr13) have received attention. It is important to clarify the effectiveness of resistance genes in a timely manner, especially for the purpose of using new resistance genes in wheat cultivars for durable-resistance. However, little is known about the stem rust resistance genes present in widely used wheat cultivars from Gansu. This study aimed to determine the resistance level at the seedling stage of the main wheat cultivars in Gansu Province. A secondary objective was to assess the prevalence ofSr2,Sr24,Sr25,Sr26,Sr31, andSr38using molecular markers. The results of the present study indicated that 38 (50.7%) wheat varieties displayed resistance to all the tested races ofPuccinia graminisf. sp.tritici.The molecular marker analysis showed that 13 out of 75 major wheat cultivars likely carriedSr2; 25 wheat cultivars likely carriedSr31; and nine wheat cultivars likely carriedSr38. No cultivar was found to haveSr25andSr26, as expected. Surprisingly, no wheat cultivars carriedSr24. The wheat lines with known stem rust resistance genes could be used as donor parent for further breeding programs.
Coast Guard Vessel of Opportunity Skimming System (VOSS), Past, Present and Future of meeting Service spill response needs (containment, skimming, and pumping)
Authors: Crickard Mike , Gunter Tim
Published: December 2017

The Coast Guard Vessel of Opportunity Skimming (VOSS) has recently gone through a consolidation of pollution response equipment to modernize its spill equipment capability for oil spill (containment, skimming, and pumping) to meet the response needs of the future. This paper will review the history of Coast Guard VOSS implementation, deployment during Deep Water Horizon, VOSS consolidation of 15 sites in 2014–2015, and challenges facing Coast Guard VOSS capability gaps in the future. In the aftermath of the EXXON VALDEZ oil spill in 1989, the Coast Guard assessed gaps and deficiencies in the ability of government and private sector resources to fully and adequately respond to major oil spill events. At the time, major gaps were found in the private sector's ability to deliver emergency first response equipment in major port areas. These gaps were addressed by Coast Guard acquisition, pre-positioning and on-going maintenance of VOSS systems & other equipment. Regulatory regimes were created and the Coast Guard created a system for determining the ability of the private sector to respond to a worst case discharge (WCD) including Title 33 CFR Parts 154 and 155 requiring facility and vessel response plan holders to have plans and contracts for privately owned pollution response equipment sufficient to respond to a WCD. The regulations have resulted in the increased capacity of Oil Spill Response Organization (OSRO) in the coastal areas of the continental United States. The Deepwater Horizon response in 2010 was the largest pollution response equipment deployment by private and government resources in the nation's history. Most Coast Guard VOSS systems were deployed in response to Deepwater Horizon. The growth of spill response equipment by the private sector and lessons learned from the Deepwater Horizon VOSS spill deployment were utilized to support the consolidation of VOSS equipment in the continental United States while maintaining VOSS capacity in remote areas.
Building Federal Partnerships to Harness Long-Term Success: A Case Study from the Joint EPA and USCG Response to Michigan Chemical Factories
Authors: Dillon LTJG Kathleen
Published: December 2017

In the fall of 2015, the Coast Guard's Atlantic Strike Team (AST) was requested by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 to provide response operations at two abandoned chemical plating factories in Michigan. Starting in October 2015, the AST provided three months of air monitoring and chemical pumping operation support at the Michner Chemical Plating Factory in Jackson, Michigan. Shortly after operations began at Michner, EPA Region 5 requested additional AST support with hazardous material categorization and contractor monitoring at the Hard Chrome Plating facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Both abandoned chemical facilities were in close proximity to schools, residential neighborhoods, and community spaces. Each facility contained highly toxic chemicals including hydrochloric acid, hydrogen cyanide, and chromic acid. At each location, AST responders used flexibility and technical knowledge to address emergent issues and long term response strategies. This paper explores many of the challenges faced by the EPA and the Atlantic Strike Team including accurate chemical categorization, determination of appropriate personal protective equipment for responders, and communication issues. This examination reinforces the need for a close working relationship between the EPA and Coast Guard during both coastal and inland incident responses as well as providing recommendations for considerations to be made during future chemical clean-up responses.

Geographic Response Plans (GRPs) are location-specific plans developed to provide guidance for oil spill responses throughout the United States. Until recently, the majority of crude oil transportation in the United States has occurred via waterways on oil tankers and barges, therefore, most existing GRPs focus on the protection of sensitive biological resources and socio-economic features in near shore environments. The recent development of crude oil extraction from the Bakken formation has resulted in a significant increase in the volume of crude oil being transported via railroads and pipelines and has highlighted the need for inland response planning.

Rail cars transporting the volatile and flammable Bakken crude oil now traverse more than 850 miles of New York State on two major Class 1 Railroads. In response, Executive Order 125 was issued by the governor directing state agencies to strengthen the state's preparedness for incidents involving crude oil transportation. New York State's (NYS) Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), in collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Services and Department of Health, are leading a multi-stakeholder effort to develop Inland GRPs for the 21 NYS counties currently impacted by crude-by-rail transportation.

County steering committees were established consisting primarily of local first response agencies, as well as their state and federal partners. Utilizing Sensitive Resource Maps developed by DEC, coupled with the local steering committee input, location-specific response plans were drafted, reviewed, and set as final working “evergreen” documents, which are open for update/refinement at any time in the future.

The NYSDEC GRPs are similar to typical GRPs in that they are map-based, location-specific contingency plans that outline response strategies for the protection of sensitive resources. However, the NYSDEC GRPs differ from traditional GRPs in several ways. They extend contingency planning to cover spills on land, in addition to surface water-based spills. Due to the flammability of Bakken crude oil, much more emphasis is placed on the fire risks associated with a train derailment. This is done by mapping sensitive human receptors (e.g., schools, daycare centers, assisted living centers, etc.), critical infrastructure, and identifying fire (and vapor) suppression assets. The NYSDEC GRPs also place more emphasis on the initial response options available to local first responders, options that can be implemented before other response assets may arrive on-scene (State, Federal, and RP). This presentation will discuss the development, structure, proposed implementation, training and exercises associated with this ongoing program.
RASING RESPONDER COMPETENCY IN OIL SPILL RESPONSE TACTICS

Published: December 2017

In an ongoing effort toward continuous improvement and to strengthen the competencies of personnel assigned within the incident command organization to the Operations and Planning Section, including the Operations Section Chief, Chevron, in collaboration with Nuka Research, developed an Oil Spill Tactics Manual.

This tactics manual is comprised of three main parts:Part 1: Oil Spill Operating Environment GuidePart 2: Oil Spill Response Tactics GuidePart 3: Oil Spill Response Equipment Selection Guide

The objective of the Tactics Manual is to provide the user with a primer on oil spill response concepts, activities, and topics. The manual can be used in develop oil spill contingency plans, tactical response training and exercises, as well as quality ICS 204 Work Assignments during an incident.

This paper describes our approach to developing a standard reference for oil spill response tactics that would complement the company's emergency management culture. The process began by analyzing knowledge and capability gaps across operations and developing a tool that specifically addressed those gaps. The tactics manual has been widely applied during training and exercises, highlighting the importance of socializing plans with their target audience.
Parametric study on cavity formation during in-situ burning of oils in ice

A parametric experimental study on melting of ice adjacent to liquids exposed to heat flux from above was conducted in order to understand the role of liquid properties in formation of cavities in ice. During in-situ burning of crude oil contained in an ice cavity (a probable situation in the Arctic) the convective motion in the fuel layer is enhanced because of strong temperature gradients imposed by the hot fuel and the cold ice-wall. This sideways movement of hot oil causes lateral melting of the ice, leading to pockets where the oil ultimately deposits. As a result, the burning efficiency, which is a key success criterion, decreases. Furthermore, mechanical recovery of oil after combustion is almost impossible with the formation of such lateral cavities. An experimental setup was designed to measure the melting rate of the ice and penetration speed of the liquid as it recounted the cavity formation problem. Experiments were conducted in a transparent glass pan (7cm×7cm×4.5cm) with a 2 cm thick ice cuboid (7cm×5cm×2cm) on one side of the pan. The liquids used in this study included water, Pentane, Dodecane, n-Octane, m-Xylene, and 1-Butanol – all carefully chosen based on their thermo-physical properties, as thermally driven buoyancy and surface tension driven Marangoni flows are altered with a change in these properties. Fundamental insight on the primary controlling parameters responsible for lateral cavity formation was obtained from the parametric experimental study. For example, the melting rate of ice with m-Xylene (with higher surface tension) was found to be greater than that of Dodecane. The results can be applied towards improved guidelines on when to ignite and how to ignite an oil spill confined in an ice cavity, so as to minimize formation of lateral cavities.
SMART DETECTION CONCEPT AN INTEGRATED SOLUTION TO OPTIMIZED ACTION IN OFFSHORE EMERGENCIES
Authors: Mattos Beatriz , Leandro Carlos
Published: December 2017

Reducing the number of offshore incidents that release oil or hazardous substances into the environment and optimizing the timeframe between detection and contingency during those incidents are the biggest challenges for the oil and gas industry. Important aspects of prevention and response include technological assessment of equipment and procedures. More even the actions and protocols for the detection and monitoring of oil spills. One action among all the above can be the key issue, that is to reduce the time between the detection and the action. Thinking on this issue so important to the industry it is quite clear that one of the segments that seem that need still to be developed is the detection phase. The increasing of a detection even more precise is crucial for an effective contingency action. Questions like the area of the spill, the thickness of the spill, the location of the source and the type of the oil, still come up recurrently during an emergency situation. In this poster presentation proposal we would like to present a new concept of integration technology for precise detection of the spill using airborne technology and HF radar. Airborne remote sensing in combination with real time data provided by coastal HF radars can be a powerful tool for precise oil spill detection. If in one hand, Airborne remote sensing can have on board sensors (far range and near range) that can identify (SLAR), measure the area (IR) and thickness of the spill (microwave radiometer), even during the night, in a single georeferenced base, the HF radar can provide information of a large area data from surface current (direction and intensity) that can optimize flight planning and predict next actions based on current prediction modeling. The airborne can survey the area in a wide coverage awareness situation or in a closer tactical decision making support. With all these tools integrated in one single cartographic base it is possible to meet the fundamental criteria of BAST(best available and safest technology) that encourage the industry to always search for the cutting edge technology for better and safer offshore operations.
