North of Johannesburg, 5 businesses percentage the Kitchenerville fields, furiously blasting and digging deep into the earth. For a few males, gold mining is a fashion of life—and dying. For a few it's only a company. For one guy, it's the main risky online game of all...
Rod Ironsides makes like to his boss's spouse and drives his miners swifter and tougher than an individual has ever dared. a couple of weeks in the past, Ironsides had a fondness for golfing and one-night stands. Now, he has been passed a prize and a curse: to blast via rock and attain a fortune—or be destroyed.
From a split-second, oxygen-sucking explosion to a looming underground wall of water, there are a dozen methods Rod can fail. yet his ardour and fury won't enable him go into reverse from a conspiracy he can't see: males who are looking to flip his mine right into a demise trap—for the bloodiest pay-day of all...

Particular booklet 196. Exhumation of the North Atlantic Margin: Timing, Mechanisms and Implications for Petroleum Exploration. Northwest Europe has passed through repeated episode of exhumation (the publicity of previously buried rocks) as a result of such components as post-orogenic unroofing, rift-shoulder uplift, hotspot job, compressive tectonics, eustatic seal-level swap, glaciation and isostatic re-adjustment.
Seriously illustrated with 900 photos of exact good keep an eye on websites, universal good keep watch over risks: identity and Countermeasures presents a visible illustration of 177 universal good keep watch over risks and the way to avoid or counteract them. the right significant other for any engineer who must increase and follow their ability extra successfully, this “plain language” advisor covers universal good keep watch over apparatus equivalent to: BOP keep watch over method, BOP manifold, kill manifold, drilling fluid restoration pipes, IBOP instruments, liquid gasoline separator, and fireplace, explosion & H2S prevention.
Offshore Safety Management. Implementing a SEMS Program
2010 used to be a defining yr for the offshore oil and gasoline within the usa. On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) floating drilling rig suffered a catastrophic explosion and fireplace. 11 males died within the explosion ― 17 others have been injured. the hearth, which burned for an afternoon and a part, finally despatched the whole rig to the ground of the ocean.
Designing for Human Reliability: Human Factors Engineering in the Oil, Gas, and Process Industries
Underestimates the level to which behaviour at paintings is stimulated via the layout of the operating atmosphere. Designing for Human Reliability argues that higher knowledge of the contribution of layout to human blunders can considerably improve HSE functionality and enhance go back on funding. Illustrated with many examples, Designing for Human Reliability explores why paintings structures are designed and applied such that "design-induced human blunders" turns into more-or-less inevitable.

Example 14 (Embedding the primitive in a SQL-like language). Consider the constraint-based frequent pattern query of Example 13. The following is some SQL-like syntactic sugar to express such query. MINE PATTERNS Freq_pat, Support FROM sales GROUPING item BY day,cust MINIMUM SUPPORT: 3 CONSTRAINTS ON name FROM product HAVING SUM(price) >= 30, In the first line we define the name of the two output attributes Freq pat and Support corresponding to the variables I and S of the query in Example 13. In the FROM clause we indicate the data source, or, in other words, the relation which plays the role of the mining view (V): note that according to Definition 5 the mining view can be defined by a relational expression; this means that in the FROM clause we can have a full SQL SELECT clause.
