Vibration related fatigue accounts for a significant proportion of all pipework failures in process plant and pipeline facilities. Small bore pipework is particularly at risk and example failures are presented which highlight these concerns. Operators of large diverse assets, such as a gas processing plant, or a large asset base, such as a series of compressor stations, may have some difficulty in identifying plant, pipework and fittings at risk. An approach to address pipework vibration issues is therefore proposed to address this issue on facility pipework and assess the relative risk for prioritization purposes. A case-study is presented of a recent project that employed a multi-stage review process of a large number of different installations. This allowed resources to be concentrated on detailed investigation and development of solutions for the highest risk locations.

China’S Cities

This paper estimates the potential benefits from reducing vehicle emissions in China’s cities. We choose Beijing as a case study to assess people’s health benefits from different scenarios. A relative risk model is employed to analysis the pre-death due to vehicle PM10 and Adjusted Human Capital (AHC) approach is used to transfer the benefits to monetary value. We found that about from 100 to 510 pre-death can be prevented by reducing vehicle PM10, which equals from 43 Million to 222 Million Yuan Benefits in monetary terms.

Daily Data

In this paper, we have used the Generalized Additive Model (GAM) to investigate the relationships between high temperature and daily number of deaths in Niakhar, a Sehalian-Sudanese climate in central Senegal. Daily data on number of deaths and meteorological variables over the period of 1983-2013 were considered. Descriptive statistics show that, over the study period, the total of non-accidental deaths were 12,798, among which we notice that 490 persons (3.83%) died of cardiovascular disease, 1,015 persons (7.93%) died of respiratory disease, 3,970 persons (31.02%) died of certain infectious and parasitic diseases, and 224 persons (1.75%) died of nervous system disease From the GAM model, we observe that high temperature significantly increased the relative risk (RR)Indeed, relative risk of deaths due to cardiovascular disease is 1.034 with a 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.025 to 1.044, while it is 1.030 with a 95% CI 1.026 to 1.033 for certain infectious and parasitic disease. For respiratory disease, the RR is 1.012 with a 95% CI 1.007 to 1.017, and for nervous system disease, the relative risk is 1.034 with 95% CI 1.026 to 1.043.

This study aims to analyze (LibQual): the effect of the performance of officers (affect of service) on user satisfaction; the effect of information access on user satisfaction; the influence of instructions and means of access (personal control) to the satisfaction of users; the effect of facilities and infrastructure (library as a place) on user satisfaction; the effect of the satisfaction of the visitors on the user loyalty; the effect (LibQual) on the loyalty of the visitors; the effect (LibQual) on the loyalty of the visitors through the variable user satisfaction. The data analysis method uses Structural Equation Model (SEM) with Lisrel 8.8 software. Respondents in this study were 180 students from YARSI University. This study presents a relative risk as a measure of effect size for categorical outcomes. Findings. The results of this study indicate that the LibQual component has a positive and significant influence on the visitors’ satisfaction and loyalty directly. Library satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on the loyalty of users directly. The LibQual component has a positive and significant indirect effect on loyalty through user satisfaction.
