Those who have broad backgrounds in exploration geophysics have been saying that the electrical methods in general could be profitably employed by the petroleum industry, that they promise major break‐throughs in the future, and that it is regrettable that we are not making use of them in the U.S. The surface electrical activity for petroleum in the U.S. is so small that it does not make its way into the statistics. It is appreciable in the eastern hemisphere. Outside the USSR, in the eastern hemisphere, the electrical activity in 1958 and 1959 was of the order of 150 crew months per year (The Oil and Gas Journal, 1959; Patrick, 1960).

This chapter is concerned with the role of oil and gas in the economic development of the global economy. It focuses on the context in which established and newer oil and gas producers in developing countries must frame their policies to optimize the benefits of such resources. It outlines a history of the issue over the last twenty-five years. It considers oil and gas as factor inputs, their role in global trade, the role of oil prices in the macroeconomy and the impact of the geopolitics of oil and gas. It then considers various conventional views of the future of oil and gas in the primary energy mix. Finally, it challenges the drivers behind these conventional views of the future with an emphasis on why they may prove to be different from what is expected and how this may change the context in which producers must frame their policy responses.

As the U.S. military integrates artificial intelligence into its systems and missions, there are outstanding questions about the role of trust in human-machine teams. This report examines the drivers and effects of such trust, assesses the risks from too much or too little trust in intelligent technologies, reviews efforts to build trustworthy AI systems, and offers future directions for research on trust relevant to the U.S. military.

Thanks to IAYT, Yoga therapists have a forum where we can find one another, collaborate, research, educate the public, and have a professional association to call home. IAYT's mission is to establish Yoga as a recognized and respected therapy. I fully support and believe in IAYT's mission. I am a practitioner of Yoga therapy, combining physical therapy, Yoga, and Ayurveda to specialize in women's health, chronic pain, and orthopedic injuries, and am the founder and director of a Yoga therapist training program. Having wellfamiliarized myself with the definitions of Yoga therapy from each of the current Yoga therapy programs in the U.S., and having followed the discussions about standards in Yoga therapy on the Integrator Blog (theintegratorblog.com) and in IAYT's publications, I humbly offer what I believe would be a positive step in the future of the recognition of Yoga therapy as a healing therapeutic discipline in the U.S.

Law And Legislation

In this paper based on a presentation given at an IALS lunchtime seminar, Professorial Fellow and former Director of the Institute Terence Daintith explores the form, governance and remit of the Oil and Gas authority. As this legal form had never before been used for a specialist regulator in the UK, he suggests it is worth asking: why this was done; what government companies normally do; what were the closest precedents; what were the effects of the choice in relation to the control, accountability, and independence of the regulator; and what might be the implications for the future.   Index keywords: Petroleum industry and trade, Petroleum law and legislation, Oil and Gas Authority, United Kingdom

The article traces the spread of Spanish across the globe, highlighting the changing nature of this spread, from indicator of local dominance to colonisation, and then, today, globalisation. This article focuses on the role of Spanish in an era of globalisation, raising issues about the nature of a world or global language, and noting how the emergence of such languages mirrors the decrease of a wider linguistic diversity. It seeks to answer such questions as whether Spanish can be called a global language or instead only an international one. It suggests various tests that should be applied in order to consider what constitutes a global language. I will conclude by speculating on the future spread and role of Spanish, particularly in the U.S. and in its interaction with English.

The Plant Breeding Coordinating Committee will be a forum for leadership regarding issues, problems, and opportunities of long-term strategic importance to the contribution of plant breeding to national goals. The committee will create the only regular opportunity to provide such leadership across all crops. The nature of plant breeding as an integrative discipline par excellence will be reflected in multidisciplinary committee membership. The past decade has brought major changes in the U.S. national plant breeding investment. In order for administrators and other decisionmakers to understand the implications of the changes and respond most effectively for the future, there is need for a clear analysis of the role of plant breeding for meeting national goals. Although recent changes in investment are the impetus for this committee, the need to articulate the role of plant breeding in meeting national goals is likely to be on-going, regardless of immediate circumstances. This presentation will describe recent progress on organizing this committee, and will ask all plant breeders to begin thinking about the questions to be addressed at the upcoming national workshop.

ABSTRACT ARPEL leads the activities of 26 state, private, and mixed oil and gas companies in Latin America, aiming at a regional cooperation in contingency planning preparedness and response. This decade has marked a milestone for the petroleum industry in Latin America. Market deregulation, a growing environmental legislative framework, and the privatization of former state-owned companies imply a need to reduce industry's environmental protection-related costs and to optimize its resources. The role of ARPEL in this context is examined. ARPEL is developing the Contingency Planning Project (PLACON), which aims to ensure a timely, efficient, cost-effective, joint response for an oil spill emergency at both the company and regional levels. The project embraces the following topics: computerized resources inventory, sensitivity mapping, training courses, and regional integration analysis. Results of the PLACON project to date and the present situation of the companies surveyed are analyzed as they relate to the objectives of the project. Information about the oil spill contingency planning process of companies operating in countries responsible for 99.9% exportation and 85.3% importation of the crude oil in Latin America is evaluated. Data included are from companies whose operations represent approximately 91.5% of oil production and 89.9% of oil refining in the region.

In this well-written, documented, and technically complete book, Hugh Gorman describes the response of the American petroleum industry to pollution over the course of the twentieth century. The industry, which grew and matured during this period as an integral part of modern industrialization, faced serious, and often dramatic pollution problems. They were inherent in production from common oil pools that encouraged haste, waste, and excessive surface storage; in transportation through pipelines and tanker trucks and ships; and in refining and storing complex hydrocarbons that easily escaped into the air, soil, or aquifers. Reaction to pollution brought new technologies, organizational forms, firm collaboration, and regulation—all of which are described and documented from primary and secondary sources throughout this volume. Gorman partitions efforts to address pollution into two “ethics”—an efficiency ethic that characterized industry action through the 1960s and an environmental ethic that came into being in the 1970s. The efficiency ethic describes antipollution efforts to reduce the costly wastes associated with extraction and shipment, including saving lost oil from “gusher” wells and leaky tanks and pipelines, as well as capturing natural gas and water voided in production that could be re-injected and used to propel oil to the surface. Efficiency also required greater productivity and less waste in refining through reducing vapor and hydrocarbon discharges and recycling acids and other chemicals. The firms could capture the benefits of internalizing the externalities associated with these pollutants. In tables 2.1 and 4.3 Gorman lists some of the pollution and waste-related problems encountered in oil production, shipment, and refining that were addressed effectively by firms without much government intervention. He describes the role of the major trade association, the American Petroleum Institute, in generating information for oil firms to reduce externalities.
