Abstract Axial strain inspection using the AXISS™ is an established tool in the pipeline operator’s toolbox to assess pipeline geotechnical threats and other strain related events. Consequently, there is a large database of axial strain data for several different pipelines operating in different environments and from multiple inspections at the same geographical locations. The Cheecham slope, located south east of Fort McMurray, Alberta, is a known geohazard site crossed by six individual pipelines. The lines were constructed between 1999 and 2013 and have a size range of 10” to 36”. Five out of the six lines, 12” to 36”, have been inspected using the axial strain tool. The pipelines inspected cover a range of characteristics including, different vintages, pipe diameters and positions in the ROW. These differences, and the ILI runs provide an insight into the effect of a landslide event on the strain response of these pipelines. Axial strain measurement of the multiple pipelines in the Cheecham slope’s ROW allows: i) a direct comparison between lines ii) evaluation of the strain profile across the slope iii) assessment of the magnitude of the axial strain in terms of pipe characteristics e.g. pipe vintage and mechanical properties. More importantly, the axial strain data may provide an additional tool to assess the effectiveness of strain mitigation steps carried out over the years. An increase in the frequency of axial strain ILI runs resulted in additional data being available and more importantly data from run to run inspections spread over months or sometime years. A single run captures the strain at the time of inspection but run to run inspections provide an additional comparative tool to evaluate and monitor pipeline movement. Two out of the five lines inspected have run to run axial strain data. This paper takes the Cheecham slope as a case study to discuss the benefits of run comparison of ILI axial strain data either by comparing strain values of repeated runs for a single line or by the cross comparison of strain responses of different lines in the same ROW. The paper aims to demonstrate how run to run analysis of ILI axial strain data can be implemented as part of geohazard risk management program to asses strain risk profiles of these locations and to assess the effectiveness of strain mitigation programs previously undertaken by operators.

Human readers comprehend vastly more, and in vastly different ways, than any existing comprehension test would suggest. An ideal comprehension test for a story should cover the full range of questions and answers that humans would expect other humans to reasonably learn or infer from a given story. As a step toward these goals we propose a novel test, the Crowdsourced Comprehension Challenge (C3), which is constructed by repeated runs of a three-person game, the Iterative Crowdsourced Comprehension Game (ICCG). ICCG uses structured crowdsourcing to comprehensively generate relevant questions and supported answers for arbitrary stories, whether fiction or nonfiction, presented across a variety of media such as videos, podcasts, and still images.

Caesalpinia sappan linn. (CSL) is a plant which is also known as Sepang tree contains various medicinal values such as to treat diarrhea, skin rashes, syphilis, jaundice, drinking water for blood purifying, diabetes, and to improve skin complexion. The aim of this study is to obtain the most optimum condition in terms of the ratio of sample to solvent, particle size, and extraction time to get the highest amount of concentration of the CSL extract. In this study, the ranges of each parameters used were: ratio sample to solvent: 1.0:20, 1.5:20, 2.0:20, 2.5:20, 3.0:20, particle size: 1 mm, 500 um, 250 um, 125 um, 63 um, and extraction time: 1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, 5 hr. The concentration was analyzed using a UV-vis spectrophotometer. The optimum conditions were obtained by response surface methodology. From the design, 20 samples were run throughout this experiment. The optimized value from the RSM were 2.0:20 for ratio sample to solvent, 125 µm of particle size and 2.48 hours with the concentration of 37.1184 ppm. The accuracy of the predictive model was validated with 2 repeated runs and the mean percentage error was less than 3%. This confirmed the model’s capability for optimizing the conditions for the reflux extraction of CSL’s wood.

Commercially acquired TiO2photocatalyst (99% anatase) powder was mixed with epoxidized natural rubber-50 (ENR50)/polyvinyl chloride (PVC) blend by ultrasonication and immobilized onto glass plates as TiO2-ENR50-PVC composite via a dip-coating method. Photoetching of the immobilized TiO2-ENR50-PVC composite was investigated under the irradiation of a 45 W compact fluorescent lamp and characterized by chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) spectrometry, thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The BET surface area of the photoetched TiO2composite was observed to be larger than the original TiO2powder due to the systematic removal of ENR50while PVC was retained within the composite. It also exhibited better photocatalytic efficiency than the TiO2powder in a slurry mode and was highly reproducible and reusable. More than 98% of MB removal was consistently achieved for 10 repeated runs of the photo-etched photocatalyst system. About 93% of the 20 mg L−1MB was mineralized over a period of 480 min. The presence of , , and Cl−anions was detected in the mineralized solution where the solution pH was reduced from 7 to 4.

Recyclability effect on catalytic performance of Ru supported on the mixture of bentonite-TiO2 for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol was investigated under reaction condition of 150°C, 2.0 MPa hydrogen pressure and 7 h reaction time. Interestingly, the recovered Ru/bentonite-TiO2 catalyst was found to be active in the repeated runs. The conversion of glycerol increased in the four successive reactions as follows: 61.3%, 65.6%, 68.1% and 75.3%. This suggested that a sort of metal activation affect such as in situ reduction occurred during the repeated reaction. In order to confirm in situ reduction had occurred during the repeated reaction, XPS analysis of used catalyst after each reaction were carried out to study the chemical state of Ru 3d species. Narrow scan of peak Ru 3d revealed that intensity of Ru 3d5/2 peak at BE 280.0 eV which is corresponding to Ru0 species increased until three cycle reaction. This result confirmed that in situ reduction had occurred during the repeated reaction and this made the activities of the catalyst increased upon recycling due to the availability of more metallic Ru on the surface of the catalyst. This study also shows that conversion of glycerol increased linearly with the percentage atomic ratio of Ru metal active site available on the surface of catalyst.

Respiratory Responses

The transient respiratory responses of 10 normal male volunteers to step changes in work load from 0 to 300, 600, and 800 kpm/min were determined by breath-by-breath analysis for tidal volume, minute ventilation, respiratory frequency, end-tidal oxygen and carbon dioxide tensins, oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide elimination, respiratory exchange ratio, and heart rate. Ten experiments were averaged on a 5-s interval basis. Quantitative measures of the dynamics (delay times, half-times, times to peaks, times to plateaus, and plateau amplitudes) are presented. These parameters generally vary with work load and reflect the speed of response of various components of the system. Rapid ventilatory responses were seen at the initiation and termination of exercise; however, they required up to 32.5 s for full development. Repeated runs on three subjects at 600 kpm/min indicate that the experiments are grossly repeatable. The data, at the initiation of exercise, are consistent with the concept of cardiodynamic hyperpnea while the results are not as clear-cut at the termination of exercise.
