ANOVELMONITORINGTECHNIQUE TO DEFINE CP CRITERIA FOR BURIED PIPELINES UNDER AC CORROSION CONDITION

Abstract: The risks of alternating current (AC) corrosion and overprotection increasingly demand new criteria forcathodically protected pipelines. To assess the risk of AC corrosion, new cathodic protection (CP) criteria have beenproposed based on DC/AC current densities measurements using coupons. The monitoring system designed for thisproject was based on the instant-off method, with steel co...

Solution to the race condition in the ICP

In NWG/RFC #143 a race condition in the ICP was described and a solution was suggested. The problem arises because the Host-Host protocol does not specify what the NCP should do when it gets more than one request of STR (or RTS) to the same socket. As a result this decision depends on the particular implementation: some may queue these requests (SDC for example), some will refuse a request if t...

Why Australia needs to define obesity as a chronic condition

BACKGROUND In Australia people with a diagnosed chronic condition can be managed on unique funded care plans that allow the recruitment of a multidisciplinary team to assist in setting treatment goals and adequate follow up. In contrast to the World Health Organisation, the North American and European Medical Associations, the Australian Medical Association does not recognise obesity as a chron...

Decidable Race Condition for HMSC

Races in Message Sequence Charts may lead to a bad interpretation of described behaviours, and are often considered as a design error. While there is a quadratictime algorithm detecting races in Basic Message Sequence Charts (BMSCs), the problem is undecidable for High-level Message Sequence Charts (HMSCs). To improve this negative situation for HMSCs, we introduce two new notions: a new concep...
