The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth's surface using the State Plane projection and coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.

In 1988, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Service funded a contaminants project with the following objectives : 1 conduct a reconnaissancelevel field inspection of abandoned oil and gas exploration sites on the Alaska Peninsula Becharof National Wildlife Refuge, 2 identify and map abandoned physical remains of oil exploration activities and 3 collect soil samples for organochlorine, petroleum, and metal analysis. During the field survey, several sites warranting further study were identified. One such site was Bear Creek Well No., drilled as an exploration well by the Humble Oil and Refining Company now Exxon in the 1950s and abandoned for lack of commercial potential. The well pads still contained a large amount of wood and metal from buildings and machinery used during the exploration drilling. In early 1990, Refuge Manager Ronald Hood proposed to the Exxon officials involved in the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup that Exxon remove both the debris at the Bear Creek Well No. 1 site and the old culverts under the access road. Exxon complied, removing the debris and most of the culverts during 1990 and 1991. In 1993 Service personnel performed soil sampling at the well pads to identify any residual contamination left after Exxons abandonment of the site. Some petroleum and metal residues of concern were found on the pads. Also, the remains of the reserve pit were found to be eroding into a stream which flows into Bear Creek, an important salmon spawning stream. The reserve pit residues contained significant amounts of barium identified in an earlier report, petroleum, zinc, and a trace of polychlorinated biphyenls. It is recommended that this site be investigated further to determine the extent of the contamination related to the well pads and the reserve pit and the ecological risk associated with this site.

The Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) is the primary source of national and state-level data on domestic freight shipments by American establishments in mining, manufacturing, wholesale, auxiliaries, and selected retail industries. Data are provided on the types, origins and destinations, values, weights, modes of transport, distance shipped, and ton-miles of commodities shipped. The CFS is a shipper-based survey and is conducted every five years as part of the Economic Census. It provides a modal picture of national freight flows, and represents the only publicly available source of commodity flow data for the highway mode. The CFS was conducted in 1993, 1997, 2002, 2007 and most recently in 2012.

Surface runoff or leachate from two landfills East Lake Landfill and the Dare County Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill have the potential to impact fish and wildlife resources associated with Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, Dare and Hyde Counties, North Carolina. Sediments were collected in March 2000 from 14 locations in canals downgradient from the landfills for laboratory assessment of sediment quality. Sediments were analyzed for metal As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Se, Zn and organic contaminants PAHs and organochlorine pesticides. Chronic toxicity of the sediments was determined using 28d static renewal exposures with Hyalella azteca Crustacea: Amphipoda with survival and growth as the test endpoints. Acute toxicity was evaluated using static 96h exposures of H. azteca to sediment pore water. Sediments from four locations were selected for a 28d bioaccumulation study with Lumbriculus variegatus freshwater oligochaete based on the toxicity evaluation. Solidphase sediments were not acutely toxic to H. azteca, but length was significantly reduced in sediments from five locations. Pore waters from sediments collected at four locations were acutely toxic to H. azteca Bioaccumulation studies exhibited uptake of several metals and PAHs, demonstrating the availability of these contaminants to the biota. Residue analyses of the sediments showed that several metals and PAHs exceeded sediment quality guidelines, and pore water concentrations of several metals exceeded water quality criteria for the protection of aquatic wildlife. These data demonstrate that runoff or leachate from the landfills have reduced sediment quality and have the potential to adversely affect resident fish and wildlife resources associated with Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.

Imagine being on Mars with the ability to replace any broken part, whether it&#39;s a part of your spacesuit, your habitat, or your own body. We propose a technique that would allow just that. By printing 3D arrays of cells engineered to secrete the necessary materials, the abundant in situ resources of atmosphere and regolith become organic, inorganic, or organic-inorganic composite materials. Such materials include novel, biologically derived materials not previously possible to fabricate.</p>

A Real-Time Quantitative Condition Alerting and Analysis Support System for Aircraft Maintenance Project
Published By National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Issued about 9 years ago
Summary
Description
Financial constraints and the need for improved operational efficiency are requiring airlines to emphasize "on-condition" maintenance over scheduled maintenance where possible. However, many of the specific conditions and events of interest to airline maintenance are not being monitored by automatic systems. Some of these events are detected through a subjective determination by the aircrew. This subjective determination can result in both maintenance being performed unnecessarily and maintenance not being performed when needed. AeroTech will develop a multi-tier, Quantitative Condition Alerting and Analysis Support (Q-CAAS) system for aircraft that will in real-time, automatically downlink to maintenance personnel, reports on the occurrence of specific conditions and events (e.g. loads exceedance). The reports will be displayed on a web based, ground station network. The system will also track individual aircraft's exposure to particular in-flight conditions allowing airline personnel to tailor maintenance programs to individual aircraft. By providing quantifiable data in real-time, operational decisions can be made to minimize the impact and maximize the benefits of on-condition maintenance. The Q-CAAS system will be comprised only of software that can be implemented on most current fleet aircraft, keeping costs low, minimizing the time to market, and therefore maximizing the likelihood of industry adoption.
