Service vessel activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in support of the oil and gas industry using AIS data, 2009–2010

Offshore exploration and production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico is supported by a large number of service vessels characterized by complex logistical patterns and demand points distributed across an expansive geographic area. No quantitative data on the spatial and temporal distributions of service vessel activity in the region is available due to the size, complexity and dynamics of the network. The purpose of this paper is to apply Automatic Identification System position data to quantify service vessel activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico from 2009 to 2010. A total of 1.1 million vessel arrivals and departures were recorded in 2009–2010, and in 2010, the number of vessel events increased by 40% due in part to the Macondo oil spill and cleanup response. Port-to-port movements comprise the majority of events and about 30% of activity relates to movements offshore. Port Fourchon, Venice, New Orleans, Sabine-Neches, and Lake Charles were the most active ports during the period. A detailed breakdown of vessel counts and the limitations of the analysis are outlined.

Influence of non-linearities on the limits of stability of ships rolling in head seas

The present paper describes an investigation on parametric resonance in head seas in which a new third-order coupled mathematical model is considered. The restored modes of heave, roll and pitch are contemplated. The discussion is illustrated for the case of a transom stern fishing vessel at different speeds. It is pointed out that numerical simulations employing the new model are successfully compared to experimental results previously obtained for the vessel.Considering that analyticity is an important tool when handling complex stability issues, some theoretical dynamic characteristics of the equations are discussed. By means of the analysis of the coupled linear variational equation derived from an extended third-order model, the appearance of super-harmonics and increased rigidity proportional to wave amplitude squared due to third-order terms is demonstrated.In the present paper, an important tool is explored, that is the analysis of the limits of stability obtained from the new model. Limits of stability are a well-known and practical way of looking into the problem of parametric resonance. New limits of stability are derived and compared to the more conventional Strut diagram. Dynamic characteristics associated with the new limits of stability are discussed. The influence of different parameters is investigated, including vessel speed, damping and tuning. Consistent and revealing results are obtained through the analysis of the new limits of stability for different speeds and damping.

CT-A血管成像在颈部血管病中的诊断价值

目的探讨CT-A血管成像在颈部血管病变中的作用。方法对20例临床高度怀疑有颈部血管狭窄的病例进行了颈部的CT-A检查,临床为颈动脉系统缺血表现的6例,表现为椎-基底动脉系统缺血的14例,采用GE（Hispeed NX／i）双层螺旋CT设备进行CT-A三个重要步骤和图像后处理重建技术A、MIP（最大密度投影）B、SSD（表面遮盖法）C、MPR＆Curve（多平面重建和曲面重建）D、CTVE（血管内镜）进行分析。结果经CT-A检查发现颈动脉系统狭窄和钙化斑块的4例,主要发生在颈内动脉的起始段,钙化斑块主要分布在颈动脉分叉处;2例经CTVE发现分叉处血管内壁的钙化斑,椎动脉狭窄的12例,有2例椎动脉仅表现蜿蜒和迂曲,经曲面重建未见狭窄。结论CT-A技术快捷方便、安全无创,可清晰地显示颈部的主要的血管结构。有着良好的临床应用前景。

On self–killing and self–creating dynamos

Numerical studies with a spherical dynamo model have shown two remarkable phenomena. The model consists of a spherical body of an electrically conducting incompressible uid surrounded by free space. In addition to a rotation of the body an inner motion due to a given forcing is considered which satisfies a no–slip condition at the boundary. The full interaction of magnetic field and motion is taken into account. Starting from a fluid motion capable of dynamo action and a very weak magnetic field it was observed that the growing magnetic field destroys the dynamo property of the motion and then decays, and that the system ends up in a state with another motion incapable of dynamo action and zero magnetic field. In another case with a motion unable to prevent small magnetic fields from decay it proved to be possible that stronger magnetic fields deform it so that a dynamo starts to work which enables the system to approach a steady state with a finite magnetic field.
