Ocean Drilling Program Leg 204 Scientific Prospectus Drilling Gas Hydrates on Hydrate Ridge, Cascadia

During Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 204, we will drill a transect of sites through the gas hydrate stability zone on the southern part of Hydrate Ridge on the Cascadia accretionary margin offshore Oregon. Massive hydrates are present at the seafloor there, and high-resolution threedimensional seismic data indicate a complicated subsurface plumbing system. The transect will cover two distinc...

Multiagent System to Prevent Technological Risks

The presence of chemical industry in urban area represents a very high technological risk. That is the reson the installation of alert’s sirens to prevent population from danger when an incident happens is became necessary. This installation should have some means which are sufficiently reliable in order to permit the detection of incident in an adequate time. The industrial site survey that pe...
