Due to legislation passed in 1977, the Coastal Commission tock part in a study analyzing potential offshore Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) sites and the types of terminals that might occupy those sites. The study had to evaluate the engineering feasibility of siting an LNG receiving terminal offshore in relation to the maximum protection of coastal re...

... off- shore sites. At the same time, staff and consultants screened the entire California offshore area for zones where it might be feasible to site a terminal because of fa- winds, waves, water depths, and other factors. Seven zones off Southern California survived this initial screening; however, four were eventually recommended as acceptable ( fig. 2). The zones have been evaluated with respect to terminal engineer- ing problems, operational reliability in delivering gas to California, public safety, and adverse impacts on marine and coastal resources. Additional screening factors included conflicts with existing recreation- al, military and other uses of offshore areas, as well as ...

Fuel gas network (FGN) synthesis is a systematic method for reducing fresh fuel consumption in a chemical plant. In this work, we address FGN synthesis problems using a block superstructure representation that was originally proposed for process design and intensification. The blocks interact with each other through direct flows that connect a bloc...
U članku je prikazana tehnička pozadina ključnih problema koje valja razmotriti pri osnivanju i instalaciji plutajućih terminala ukapljenoga prirodnog plina (LNG), radi njihove sigurne eksploatacije, održavanja i upravljanja. Na temelju dugogodišnje participacije autorâ u rješavanju spomenutih tehničkih problema, izradi naprednih istraživačkih stud...
In order to study the effects of sweepback of inducer on cavitation performance of pump, based onthe experimental results, the Reynolds N-S equation, RNG k-? turbulent model and Schnerr&Sauer cavitation model, a three-dimensional numerical calculation is employed to study the flow characteristics of one certain LNG pump. Laws of the variation of ca...
The conventional LNG storage tank wall has been constructed with cast-in-place (CIP) concrete method. However, CIP method is difficult for construction management because it is significantly affected by conditions of construction site, such as climate and material supply conditions. Therefore, this construction method consumes construction time and...

... Several assessments of coastal development by professionals (e.g. Gussow, 1976; Baird et al., 1979) and investigations of viewer preference (e.g. Feimer et aI., 1981) have found compatibility of development to be highly related to visual quality. ...
Siting of oil and gas facilities can disrupt the visual quality of coastal landscapes. However, some views of coastal oil and gas development were considered to be attractive by residents and visitors interviewed on a Louisiana Gulf Coast island. These views tended to include development that was tidy, created a night-time light display, blended into the larger landscape, or generated interesting activity. Descriptions of 393 views from the island and ratings of the attractiveness of the views were obtained in 40 interviews. Landscape feature presence and feature attractiveness in each view were determined in a content analysis. For the 99 features identified, attractiveness frequencies and variances were determined. A factor analysis of feature presence classifications identified features that tended to appear together in the landscape. Factor scores were then regressed on view attractiveness ratings. Both the attractiveness frequencies and the regression equation indicate that oil and gas development is not always seen as unattractive.

This introductory piece traces the growth of knowledge and activity associated with visual resource management in general. A specific framework of questions regarding methods of coastal zone visual resource management is presented. The state‐of‐the‐art in methodological studies is listed for each question, and the methodological questions are related to the major articles with the special issue of the Coastal Zone Management Journal. Major legal federal statutes, state statutes, and court cases are reviewed in light of visual resource management in the coastal zone. The remaining articles within the special issue that deal with integration of VRM into decision‐making are then arrayed against a management framework. This framework includes regulatory situations for (1) public land management and planning, (2) public projects involving private lands, and (3) public regulation of private projects.
Many landmark coastal environmental confrontations of the the 1960's included scenic issues. But, little or no scenic evaluation data was available prior to project design; project trade-off decisions did not formally include aesthetics; and where utilized such aesthetic information was primarily 'expert opinion' rather than the product of reproducible pre-tested methodologies.
