Structural Response of Offshore Plants to Risk-Based Blast Load
Offshore oil and gas process plants are exposed to hazardous accidents such as explosion and fire, so that the structural components should resist such accidental loads. Given the possibilities of thousands of different scenarios for the occurrence of an accidental hazard, the best way to predict a reasonable size of a specific accidental load would be the employment of a probabilistic approach...
متن کاملPrimary blast causes mild, moderate, severe and lethal TBI with increasing blast overpressures: Experimental rat injury model
Injury severity in blast induced Traumatic Brain Injury (bTBI) increases with blast overpressure (BOP) and impulse in dose-dependent manner. Pure primary blast waves were simulated in compressed gas shock-tubes in discrete increments. Present work demonstrates 24 hour survival of rats in 0-450 kPa (0-800 Pa∙s impulse) range at 10 discrete levels (60, 100, 130, 160, 190, 230, 250, 290, 350 and 4...
متن کاملAn Earthquake Alarm System for the Maui a Offshore Platform, New Zealand by R. G. Tyler and J. L. Beck
An earthquake alarm system for the Maui A Offshore Platform, which is situated in the Tasman Sea off the coast of New Zealand for the production of natural gas, is described. The function of the alarm system is to give an immediate warning when accelerations equal to half the design level for the platform have been reached in order that safety procedures can be initiated. The alarm system was d...
متن کاملAlarm pheromone habituation in Myzus persicae has fitness consequences and causes extensive gene expression changes.
In most aphid species, facultative parthenogenetic reproduction allows rapid growth and formation of large single-genotype colonies. Upon predator attack, individual aphids emit an alarm pheromone to warn the colony of this danger. (E)-beta-farnesene (EBF) is the predominant constituent of the alarm pheromone in Myzus persicae (green peach aphid) and many other aphid species. Continuous exposur...
متن کاملAlarm Calls
Animals commonly vocalize when threatened by a predator. These signals, usually termed alarm calls (from old Italian all arme ‘to arms’ on the approach of an enemy), have continued to bewilder and fascinate for a number of reasons, the first of which is mainly practical. In animal research, it is often difficult to break down the continuous behavioral stream into discrete and meaningful units, ...
