Design And Construction

The planning, design and construction of two offshore exploratory drilling islands, constructed in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea during the summer of 1980, is described. Emphasis is given to areas of the work that are either unique to the Alaskan Beaufort Sea or involve modifications to the artificial island technology developed in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. The construction of the islands using a land gravel source, transport and handling of the gravel by highly efficient equipment, and placement of the gravel using the limited marine equipment available at Prudhoe Bay is described. The development of an economical slope protection system, with a design life of 3 yr, in Arctic environment and the monitoring and maintenance program planned to minimize the propagation of anticipated damage and maximize the effectiveness of the slope protection system is described, and knowledge gained to date is also included.

Placement Technique

The design, installation, and performance of a berm-supported exploration structure in a dynamic ice environment is presented. Details are provided on design considerations which include horizontal ice loads, wave loads, seismic considerations, foundation characteristics and extreme temperatures. The development of specifications and installation techniques to account for these design concerns is presented. A case history is presented which includes a discussion of on-site modifications to the idealized placement technique, which were necessitated by extreme ice conditions. The success of this modified placement technique is confirmed through a review of the units performance during the drilling season, and the response of the structure to dynamic ice and drilling-related activity is examined.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.
