Record 1 2014-09-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Environmental Management
CONT

One untested hypothesis in oil spill response is that "chemical dispersants do not work effectively in cold water. "This is due to the general misconception that cold water inhibits dispersant effectiveness(DE) and the lack of experimental data to indicate otherwise. To address this issue, the U. S. Minerals Management Service(MMS)... conducted two series of dispersant experiments in very cold water at Ohmsett... [Both] Corexit 9500 and Corexit 9527 dispersants were more than 90% effective in dispersing the fresh and weathered crude oils tested [and dispelled] the thought that chemical dispersants cannot be effective in cold water.

Dans le cas du naufrage du TANIO, des agents dispersants mélangés à de l'eau ont été utilisés en grande quantité pour nettoyer les rochers ou appliqués purs sur les rochers mazoutés avant nettoyage. L'efficacité des agents dispersants fut le sujet d'un débat technique considérable [...]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
CONT

For primary fuels(crude oil, coal and natural gas), the stock change data have been adjusted to account for inter-product transfers, stock variation and other adjustments, and are then transformed to other fuels to determine the apparent consumption values.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Combustion et combustibles (Foyers)
CONT

Pour les combustibles primaires (pétrole brut, charbon et gaz naturel), les données sur les changements des stocks ont été rajustées pour tenir compte des transferts entre les produits, de la variation des stocks et d'autres corrections, et elles ont été transformées pour d'autres combustibles afin de déterminer la consommation apparente du combustible.

Subject field(s)
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
CONT

In the 2011 data year, approximately 88% of the total oil and gas sector emissions can be attributed to the upstream fossil fuel industry, which includes crude oil production(both conventional, as well as bitumen and synthetic crude oil from oil sands operations), natural gas production and processing, and oil and gas transmission.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transport du pétrole et du gaz naturel
CONT

En 2011, environ 88 % des émissions totales du secteur du pétrole et du gaz peuvent être attribuées au secteur d'amont de l'industrie des combustibles fossiles, qui comprend la production de pétrole brut (de pétrole brut classique ainsi que de bitume et de pétrole brut synthétique des exploitations de sables bitumineux), la production et le traitement de gaz naturel et le transport du pétrole et du gaz.

CONT

The Vision Skin sensor is designed to do accurate range sensing and close range imaging in approximately the 1 cm distance range. It utilizes an array of collimated holes as individual parallel pin-hole cameras to perform close range lens-less imaging. When a laser diode is added to the system, triangulation is used to determine the distance of the surface. The sensor can switch between imaging mode and range mode simply with software and lighting mode.

OBS

... Vision Skin provides images and data of objects very close to the sensor surface. It is analogous to heat sensors in the finger tips(which can sense heat when near a hot object without touching it) and the compound eye of an insect(which forms crude images of an object comprised of pixels array in the eye)...

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications

OBS

Le terme «skin» [désigne une] plaquette (mince) à pointes d'aiguille qui projette la lumière sur les objets. Il est alors possible d'estimer la distance entre l'objet et le capteur. Il s'agit de capteurs de proximité qui utilisent la vision comme méthode.

Ottawa, Canadian Heritage. "This survey is an excellent source of information about goods and services offered for sale in major East Coast newspapers before 1900 and as early as the 1600's. This database documents the region's material culture, providing data on the probable origin and use of the items. The database contains information on such commodities as machinery, transportation and communications equipment, food and beverages, personal household goods, live animals, and crude and fabricated materials".

Ottawa : Patrimoine canadien. «Cette base de données est une excellente source d'information sur les biens et services offerts en vente dans les principaux journaux des Maritimes depuis le XVIIe siècle jusqu'à 1900. Elle permet de connaître l'origine et l'utilisation probables d'objets et constitue donc une source d'information sur la culture matérielle de la région. Son contenu porte sur des marchandises comme la machinerie, le matériel de transport et de communication, les aliments et boissons, les autres biens de consommation, les animaux vivants de même que les matières brutes et travaillées».

Interactive computer-simulated learning environments are found more often in college education. The SIMPLE learning environment is an authoring tool to make such an environment. It is supported by relational databases, to maintain consistency of data, and has built-in tools such as replay function, refinement of crude recorded data, and answer-checking. More and more colleges now offer virtual classes which are interactive web-based classes.

CONT

The integration of new learning methods using new communications technology such as video conferencing, interactive internet learning methods, and computer simulated learning environments.

The EUB [Alberta Energy and Utilities Board] originally calculated the in-place volume of crude bitumen using a volumetric methodology called the Building Block Method. On a quarter section basis, over the entire deposit and for each horizon containing bitumen, a volume was determine where the minimum cut-offs were exceeded... The data for each quarter section was taken from drill holes, or inferred from the lowest value of surrounding lands.

Domaine(s)
  • Bitumes
CONT

À l'origine, l'Energy and Utilities Board de l'Alberta (EUB) calculait le volume en place de bitume naturel à l'aide d'une méthode volumétrique appelée «méthode des blocs». En procédant par quart de section, on déterminait, pour chaque horizon renfermant du bitume, le volume des ressources qui dépassaient certaines limites convenues, et ce pour l'ensemble du dépôt. [...] Pour obtenir les données relatives à un quart de section, soit on forait des trous de sonde, soit on appliquait les valeurs les plus faibles établies pour les terrains adjacents.
