Industry/University Consortium for ATS research
No full textThe Industry/University ATS research program is the result of two planning workshops. Workshop I was held April 8--10, 1991 and had the goal of identifying research needs for advanced gas turbine cycles that would permit rapid commercialization of cycles with significant improvements over the machines currently under development, in terms of the cost of electricity produced and the environmental burdens resulting from their use in power producing. Workshop II was held in January 1992 and continued the identification of the research needs to develop advanced gas turbine systems. The goals established for the ATS systems were: (1) efficiency exceeding 60% for large utility turbine system and 15% improvement in heat rate for industrial systems; (2) busbar energy costs 10% less than current state of the art and (3) fuel flexible designs. In addition Workshop II participants agreed that an industry driven research consortium was an acceptable mechanism to achieve base technology development needs

Rancang Bangun Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)
No full textThe existence of electrical energy is already something of a primary
need in modern human life so that almost all people rely on electricity supply
from PLN. It can not be denied that the availability of electrical energy from PLN
can be guaranteed 100%, many obstacles that cause cessation of electricity
supply to consumers. Both the system generator and the distribution network
system, Based on the above background, the author tries to create a system that
can provide the needs in electrical energy. With the hope of this system can be
useful for the public umum.Pembuatan ATS This Has been done for 4 months in
the Department of Electrical Engineering is the focus of the discussion is ATS.
ATS and AMF will release the supply to the load when the voltage is in the normal
state of 220 volts, and release to the load when the generating frequency is in the
normal state of 50 Hz, and the time required by the genset to supply the load after
the starting is 60 seconds Genset will stop working
Earth-satellite propagation above GHz: Papers from the 1972 spring URSI session on experiments utilizing the ATS-5 satellite
No full textPapers are reported from the Special Session on Earth-Satellite Propagation Above 10 GHz, presented at The 1972 Spring Meeting of the United States National Committee, International Union of Radio Science, April 1972, Washington, D. C. This session was devoted to propagation measurements associated with the Applications Technology Satellite (ATS-5), which provided the first operational earth-space links at frequencies above 15 GHz. A comprehensive summary is presented of the major results of the ATS-5 experiment measurements and related radiometric, radar and meteorological studies. The papers are organized around seven selected areas of interest, with the results of the various investigators combined into a single paper presented by a principal author for that area. A comprehensive report is provided on the results of the ATS-5 satellite to earth transmissions. A complete list of published reports and presentations related to the ATS-5 Millimeter Wave Experiment is included
New perspectives in studying active faults in metropolitan France: the "Active faults France" (FACT/ATS) research axis from the Resif-Epos consortium
No full textMainland France is part of a plate interior with a strong structural heritage, undergoing a low rate of deformation, where destructive earthquakes can nevertheless occur. In this paper, we emphasize that the knowledge of active faults is still largely fragmentary, and that significant efforts are needed to generate robust data, in particular on the numerous faults, that still lack any study. This is the aim of the “Failles ACTives France” (FACT) axis launched in the framework of the Transverse Seismicity Action (ATS) of the Resif-Epos consortium. We present some recent investigations carried out along suspected active faults in mountainous areas, their forelands and remote lowlands, which implement new approaches and new tools, and allow characterizing their Quaternary activity
INDONESIA AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES (ATS) READINESS AND STRATEGIC PLANS FOR TAKING OVER AIRSPACE AND IMPROVING THE SERVICE : CASE STUDY : AIRSPACE SECTOR A, B, AND C
No full text Indonesia is trying to take over airspace Sector A, B, and C from Singapore and this desire has been going on for decades. To carry out these dreams, Indonesia was faced with a series of agreements with Singapore and Malaysia because both countries have interests in that airspace sector. To take over that airspace, Indonesia must perform a series of efforts. One of the efforts is by improving Air Traffic Services (ATS) quality in Indonesia. In determining ATS service quality, pilot perceiving and expectation must be assessed. Pilot employed tangible and intangible cues to determine the quality. The author determined forty items to describe pilot perception and expectation based on 10 (ten) criteria in evaluating service quality. Moreover, total ATS quality which is including technical quality and functional quality dimensions are clearly presented. Other factor influencing ATS quality is safety culture which is merged with ATS quality. Human factor as the main source in conducting service is described clearly in relation with ATS. Human factor become important because human and its environment can affect ATS performance. Six principles of service management are elaborated in ATS system to improve ATS quality. Combined with service and management theories to obtain the conclusion of Indonesia ATS quality and ATS readiness, this research discussed the Indonesia strategic plan to improve service quality. Then, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will work together with Indonesia ANSP and ATS Unit authority to manage ATS quality in Indonesia in order to taking over airspace Sector A, B, and C from Singapore.Transportation Researc
Is exercise training safe and effective for ALL heart failure patients: A retrospective service evaluation of a hospital based cardiac rehabilitation programme
No full textThe main purpose of this study was to investigate whether exercise training is safe and effective for all classifications of heart failure, female and elderly (70 years and above) heart failure patients and also those heart failure patients with significant co-morbidity. Much of the research into exercise training and heart failure has been carried out on middle aged men in NYHA II-III classification of heart failure who have no other significant co-existing conditions. This is not reflective of the population of heart failure patients in general. The cardiac rehabilitation records (n=1000) of heart failure patients who had attended an exercise programme at a hospital based NHS service over a period of ten years were retrospectively evaluated to investigate the safety and efficacy of exercise training. Analysis of baseline statistics and repeated outcome measures were used to investigate the significance of the service and to ascertain where similarities and differences lay with the research. 74% were male, the age range was 17-90 years and 52% of patients had one or more significant co-morbidity. The acute event incidence was recorded at four per 1000 patients. NYHA I patients, female, elderly heart failure patients and those with significant co-morbidity showed significant improvements in functional capacity and quality of life measures with exercise training (p< 0.05). However no conclusion on the effectiveness of exercise could be drawn for NYHA IV heart failure patients due to insufficient recorded data and reduced adherence to exercise sessions for this group. A hospital based exercise programme, therefore may not be the most appropriate setting for the NYHA IV patient. This study supports previous research of the benefit of exercise training in heart failure but broadens it further to show that exercise is safe for all heart failure patients and is also effective for all heart failure patients with the exception of NYHA IV patients where further investigation is needed

Liability of Secondary Actors under the Alien Tort Statute: Aiding and Abetting and Acquiescence to Torture in the Context of the Femicides of Ciudad Jua\u27rez
No full textSince 1993, more than 400 women have been murdered in Ciudad Judrez,
Mexico. Few, if any of these crimes have been solved, largely because local
Mexican officials have failed to adequately investigate them. This Article
argues that femicide victims could hold those officials civilly liable as third
parties for these femicides in U.S. federal courts under the Alien Tort
Statute (ATS). Although aiding and abetting liability is the most common
form of third-party liability sought in ATS cases, several high profile
cases have challenged whether it should exist under the ATS. The author
agrees with many courts and scholars that aiding and abetting liability
should be sustained. However, the author argues that none of the
previously proposed standards for aiding and abetting would reach the
Mexican officials. Instead, the author proposes acquiescence to torture
as an innovative form of third-party liability. Acquiescence to torture, as
it has been defined in U.S. non-refoulement cases, would broaden the
scope of the ATS to allow a suit against Mexican officials for their failure
to adequately prevent or investigate the femicides in Ciudad Judrez
