The Meter Installation workshop was conducted by TNS for EDP Distribuição on its position as active partner on the work package 5 of S3C, an European Union FP7 funded project. EDP Distribuição tested it's meter installation process and the tools and guidelines developed by S3C for this effect in the following InovGridtest sites: Alcochete, Évora(Guadalupe), Parquedas Nações, Lamego and São João da Madeira. In the meter installation initiative, EDP Distribuição tested the following guidelines (which were developed in deliverable 4.1 of the S3C project): •Meter installation •Training Installers •FAQ during installation process
In order to protect offshore installations and reduce the risk of accidents, which results in marine pollution, certain areas around offshore installations are designated as exclusion zones and precautionary areas. Article 60 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982 recognizes the right of coastal states to establish exclusion zones around offshore installations. These zones should extend to a distance not exceeding 500 m from each point of the outer edge of the installation. Also, Resolution A.671(16) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) (Safety Zones and Safety of Navigation around Offshore Installations and Structures) recommends that governments consider, amongst other things, the establishment of safety zones around offshore installations or structures as well as the establishment and charting of fairways or routing systems through exploration areas. In this regard, this study analyzes the effectiveness of the safety zones prescribed by law in protecting oil installations. It concludes that although UNCLOS 1982 does not stipulate the establishment of safety zones around offshore installations constructed in the territorial sea, the coastal state has a right to establish safety zones in such locations, and its radius may extend beyond 500 m if it is necessary to protect the offshore installation in the territorial sea.
Ce mémoire traite du processus de création de Protopolis , une installation chorégraphique réalisée et présentée par l'artiste et chercheur, Ramon Lima, à la Maison de la Création et de l'Innovation, au sein de l'Université Grenoble-Alpes, en 2021. Réalisé dans un format de recherche en création, ce mémoire s'intéresse aux aspects méthodologiques de la création artistique qui se développe dans l'expérience avec le terrain, en se concentrant sur la perspective de l'interprète et créateur solo. Pour ce faire, le potentiel politique et artistique de la relation entre artiste et terrain est mis en avance, ainsi que la manière dont le vécu peut être à la fois sujet et véhicule de la conception de l'œuvre. La notion d'autotopobiographie, proposée par Jennifer Gonzales, est mise en avant dans cette étude afin de souligner le caractère biographique de cette démarche, mais aussi une façon d'envisager la création d'un espace comme une possible représentation de l'identité.

The purpose of this research was to improve the effectiveness of facility design and construction for expeditionary installations in the Middle East. Specifically, this thesis sought to answer three research questions addressing current military construction policies as well as historical design of desert dwelling cultures, a comparison of current construction assemblies with indigenous design, and synthesis of indigenous design techniques with modern materials, techniques, and requirements. The research questions were answered through a comprehensive literature review, rudimentary quantitative analysis, and architectural design. The research indicated the feasibility of incorporating indigenous design into facility construction on expeditionary installations to improve building performance and force protection. The culmination of this effort was the development of a schematic design to illustrate how indigenous design principles could be employed to provide a typical administrative facility in answer to real world programmatic requirements.
Artist Statement My name is Samantha Rosenbaum and I am a senior at Bard College. Between Sunday April 14 - Monday April 22, 2013, an installation was built, opened to the public, and taken down on Ludlow Lawn at Bard College. This installation was a part of my Senior Project. It was called Dolphin Installation. I loved creating this installation. It allowed me to advocate something that I so truly believe in advocating for: the freedom of cetaceans. Cetaceans, a biological group that includes dolphins and whales, are not meant to be in captivity. Currently hundreds of whales and dolphins are imprisoned in captive facilities all around the world. The cetacean captivity industry is cruel and abuses cetaceans to generate a profit. I really wanted humans to know how awful it is for a whale and dolphin to be in captivity; thus I created an installation that mimics the experience of a captive environment found at marine facilities. By entering the Dolphin Installation I wanted humans to experience only a fraction of what it feels like to be a cetacean in captivity. I hope that after humans experienced the installation, they will join me in spreading the word about the damages caused to whales and dolphins being in captivity. Although the installation was physically built in a week, it was a year process full of research, design planning, outreach, fundraising, and much more. And although I always planned on the installation being temporary, I did not plan on how much I was going to miss working on it and having it active on Ludlow Lawn. I am sad that it is over but at the same time I am so proud that I created something that spread awareness about cetaceans being in captivity. I think art has the ability to challenge animal injustices and to notify humans about important issues. By constructing and opening up the Dolphin Installation to the public, I hope that those who experienced the installation will be more aware of the physical and ethical wrongs of keeping cetaceans in captivity. Ignorance allows cruelty to ...
The rising price of fossil fuels, government incentives and growing public aware-ness for the need to implement sustainable energy supplies has resulted in a large in-crease in solar panel installations across the country. For many sites the most eco-nomical solar panel installation uses existing, southerly facing rooftops. Adding solar panels to an existing roof typically means increased loads that must be borne by the building-s structural elements. The structural design professional is responsible for ensuring a new solar panel installation is properly supported by an existing structure and configured to maximize energy generation.
The Unspeakable Freedom Device is a project commissioned by Grundy Art Gallery comprising narrative film and installation that investigates new ways that art can question our perception of contemporary social reality using speculative fiction. This project explores the idea of the image of Margaret Thatcher as an after-burn on the collective memory of our culture, using the Winter Gardens, Blackpool as a key location- a Victorian palace of fantasy-entertainment and the site of political rhetoric that has shaped society. It proposes a future-primitive world in which the difference between technology and magic is incomprehensible, and a cargo-cult of Thatcher has arisen.
Der Beitrag untersucht – unter Rekurs auf Konzepte des öffentlichen Raumes, wie sie im Anschluss an Hannah Arendts Begriff des "Erscheinungsraumes" bei Judith Butler und Irit Rogoff vorzufinden sind –, inwiefern in den Videoinstallationen Aernout Miks Strategien der Übertragung und somatischen Adressierung eng verbunden sind mit der Inszenierung von kollektiven Interaktionsprozessen, welche die instabile und transformatorische Seite gemeinschaftsbildender Prozesse und Rituale in den Fokus rücken. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Analyse zweier rezenter raumgreifender Installationen ("Shifting Sitting", 2011 / "Communitas", 2010), in denen nicht nur die Grenzen von politischer, juristischer und theatraler Inszenierung zur Disposition stehen, sondern eben auch jene zwischen dem Bildraum der Projektion und dem konkreten installativen Raum.
"The Challenge: Based on analysis of the Supplementary Data System (BLS), the compensable injury/incidence rate (27.5 cases per 100 workers for this group) for drywall installers was nearly three times the injury rate of 9.5 for all other construction occupations combined, in 1987. In 1994, falls (29.9%), overexertion (25.9%), and contact with objects (25.1%) were the leading events of injury and illness involving days away from work. As a result, sprains and strains (43.3%) constituted the most frequent nature of injuries and illnesses category in 1994. Approach: The project examined different approaches to estimating the population of at risk drywall installers, using occupational injury classification data from the BLS. In addition, three parallel efforts were undertaken to identify high-risk activities associated with the traumatic injuries and overexertion hazards of drywall installation work: 1) analysis of videotaped data; 2) analysis of biomechanical stresses associated with drywall lifting; and 3) completion of a drywall installation survey identifying high-risk tasks and activities. In the laboratory component, simulations were conducted to evaluate the biomechanical stresses associated with drywall handling techniques identified from the field investigation. Force platform and motion analysis techniques were used to determine forces, moments, postural instability, and postures during simulated drywall handling tasks. A simulated drywall lifting workstation was built and all subjects performed one of the four randomly assigned lifting methods. Both center of pressure (COP) and center of mass (COM) data were analyzed to assess postural stability of workers. Results: All the ratings of fall potential, perceived physical stress, and risk of being struck by or against objects while hanging drywall on the ceiling were greater than while performing the other two tasks. Activities involving lifting/carrying/holding drywall sheets were rated as most physically stressful. Workers perceived greater physical stress for the two drywall sanding tasks than the four taping tasks. Sanding skimmed drywall without the use of pole sanders, in particular sanding ceiling joints, nails, and corners was rated most stressful. Wrists/hands and shoulders were identified as the most affected body part subject to physical stress during drywall taping and sanding. Tasks performed with the use of stilts were rated as having greater fall potential than those without using stilts. Statistically significant results from the univariate analyses and PCA indicated that the three horizontal lifting methods created less perturbation than the vertical lifting method. Impact: The field study component has not only collected useful data from these worksites, but also established excellent collaborative opportunities and research partnerships for NIOSH. This study also represented the first large-scale, worker-based, and construction-related laboratory study, which was conducted to evaluate the biomechanical stresses associated with the lifting of large-sized manual materials. Drywall installers, carpenters, painters and construction laborers are responsible for almost 50% of fall-related injuries in the construction industry. All of these four construction workforces handle drywall at worksites. The recommendations of this project can be extrapolated to apply and benefit the previously-mentioned four construction workforces, which represent3.3 million construction workers. The study results were also referenced and used for wallboard-related legislative actions in Washington State in June, 2000. The study findings provided strategies for controlling physical stresses and fall hazards in drywall-installation work, thereby promoting the safety of this sector of the construction population." - NIOSHTIC-2 ; "Lead researcher: Christopher S.
