Design and analysis of a tool for planning and simulating dynamic vertical transport

Nowadays, most of the main companies in the vertical transport industry are researching tools capable of providing support for the design process of elevator systems. Numerous decisions have to be taken to obtain an accurate, comfortable, and high-quality service. Effectively, the optimization algorithm is a key factor in the design process, but so are the number of cars being installed, their technical characteristics, the kinematics of the elevator group, and some other design parameters, which cause the selection task of the elevator system to be a complex one. In this context, the design of decision support tools is becoming a real necessity that most important companies are including as part of their strategic plans. In this article, the authors present a user-friendly planning and simulating tool for dynamic vertical traffic. The tool is conceptualized for giving support in the planning and design stage of the elevator system, in order to collaborate in the selection of the type of elevator (number, type of dynamic, capacity, etc.) and the optimization algorithm

United States - Russia fire management expert exchange: Irtusk region

This report includes details of an exchange of information and techniques on aerial wildland fire fighting between the United States and Russia in 1993. The exchange took place in Irtusk, which is in south-central Russia and covered smokejumping and rappelling. The report also contains information about the U.S. delegation, Russian smokejumping songs translated into English, and a chronological narrative of the visit.https://dc.ewu.edu/smokejumping_pubs/1019/thumbnail.jp

Coiled Tubing Drilling for offshore wells

Coiled Tubing Drilling (CTD) is becoming more popular in the oil and gas industry as an alternative drilling technique to rejuvenate depleting fields. Its cheaper drilling cost makes CTD viable to be applied for idle wells and brownfields. The indepth investigation is carried out to identify the process and workflow of selection criteria for suitable wells to be drilled using CTD application. CTD is one of the enabling technologies in well intervention technique which can offer industry another option especially in the re-development of brownfields. It has unique capabilities in underbalanced drilling which can prevent formation damage and reduce drilling risks. This technique can be used to replace the traditional sidetracking techniques, i.e., rotary rigs to sidetrack wells as it reduces the time taken to make-up and break-out the joint pipe and also requires a smaller footprint for coil tubing unit which provides an additional advantage to work on smaller structures. A case study has been detailed out in this research work to show the importance and applicability of CTD. Overall, this technology costs lower than the conventional drilling or hydraulic workover unit which makes it more attractive to access bypassed oil or untapped reservoirs hence prolong a field's economic life

The software-simulated airworld: anticipatory code and affective aeromobilities

This paper is concerned with the way in which airspaces are organised, managed, and understood by virtual representations - software simulations that are tested and used both preemptively and in real time. We suggest that, while airspaces are often understood as simulations themselves - models and blueprints for real-world futuresöthey are among the most mediated of all contemporary social environments, produced not only through code, but based on scenarios which predict and plan for future events - real virtualities that might come true. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples of aeronautical software simulation employed by civilian and military aviation, we explore how code has become increasingly sophisticated and ubiquitous in response to the challenges set by the mobilities the simulations model and the affective susceptibility of the corporeal body that uses them. The paper explores how software simulations work to structure and mediate behaviour by producing specific emotional and affective experiences in order to prepare the body for future encounters
