A Review of Data-Driven Oil and Gas Pipeline Pitting Corrosion Growth Models Applicable for Prognostic and Health Management

International Journal of Prognostics and Health Management, 2018
Pitting corrosion is a primary and most severe failure mechanism of oil and gas pipelines. To implement a prognostic and health management (PHM) for oil and gas pipelines corroded by internal pitting, an appropriate degradation model is required.

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Board Gender Diversity and Environmental Credit Risk in Banking: A Global Study of Bank Governance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between board gender diversity and environmental credit risk in the global banking sector. Using a panel dataset of 345 publicly listed banks from 75 countries over the period 2018–2022, we find that greater female representation on bank boards is significantly associated with lower environmental credit

HYPERSPECTRAL GAS ANALYZER FOR MONITORING OF OIL AND GAS PIPELINES

Collection of selected papers of the II International Conference on Information Technology and Nanotechnology, 2016
For the detection and identification of hydrocarbons and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) conceptual design of a compact hyperspectral instrument with high spatial and spectral resolution was developed. This paper presents the calculation of the optical thickness of the medium ranges and an evaluation of the measurement uncertainty for the ...
