Two standards that are widely used by many countries in designing offshore gas transmission pipelines American Standard – ASME B31.8, Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems Norwegian DNVGL-ST-F101, Submarine Pipeline System. A thorough understanding of these is vital determining optimal pipeline design to ensure integrity for safe sustainable operations, as well striving economic effi...

This paper describes the results obtained in the final performing period of the ARPA sponsored submarine automation project1. Efforts on the mapping between the submarine operational environment and the RCS software architecture lead to the result of three watch station graphic user interface panels. The submarine automation model has been expanded to include some engineering systems control ca...

This paper describes the design of a web based multi agent design for a collision avoidance auto navigation biomimetic submarine for submarine hydroelectricity. The paper describes the nature of the map topology interface for river bodies and the design of interactive agents for the control of the robotic submarine. The agents are migratory on the web and are designed in XML/html interface with...

Mass transport events, such as those from submarine landslides, volcanic flank collapse at convergent margins and on oceanic islands, and subaerial failure are reviewed and found to be all potential tsunami sources. The intensity and frequency of the tsunamis resulting is dependent upon the source. Most historical records are of devastating tsunamis from volcanic collapse at convergent margins....

In an attempt to determine what effect, if any, a sealed cabin atmosphere might have on living tissue, observations of frog tissue were made during a routine patrol of a Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarine. Ciliary mucus flow rates were determined in the esophageal tissue of frogs, since results with these tissues have proved comparable to mammalian respiratory cilia. Bottles of surface air...

During the training of submarine crews in submarine escape procedures, such as "free or buoyant ascent, "instructors at the escape training tank frequently hold their breath under water and perform "skin" dives to depths as great as 90 feet. The ascent is carried out by climbing up a'line. These diving maneuvers are similar to those practiced by sponge and pearl divers. The escape training tank...

Project Nemo examines the cognitive processes and representational structures used by submarine Commanders while attempting to locate an enemy submarine hiding in deep water. In phase 2 we collected performance and protocol data from junior, mid-career, and senior submarine officers. The data support the conclusions from phase 1 (Gray, Kirschenbaum, & Ehret, 1997) that most AO actions can be ch...
