This article describes a pilot high-solids digester (HSD) plant for use in American Samoa. The American Samoa is highly dependent on imported fuel. At the same time, the local tuna canneries produce large amounts of waste materials. The HSD program will turn the fisheries waste into a biogas fuel and a compost that can be used to enrich the local v

The Oregon public and Oregon Legislature have great interests in the use of recycled waste products. The costs of waste disposal continue to increase as existing landfills approach maximum capacity forcing development of additional landfills. In response to these concerns, the Legislature passed Oregon Senate Bill (SB) 66, in part, directing the Or

During aircraft interior fires, carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) are produced in sufficient amounts to cause incapacitation and death. Time-to-incapacitation (ti) is a practical parameter for estimating escape time in fire environments. Exposures to CO-HCN mixtures have demonstrated that these gases have additive effects (producing s

Between January 1986 and March 1992, the Federal Aviation Administration's 42-day Nonradar Screen was used to identify Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) candidates with the highest potential to succeed in the rigorous ATCS field training program. The central question addressed in this study was whether or not the Nonradar Screen was a valid emp

We formulated a hypothesis suggesting that operators could make scanning and monitoring errors if they tended to concentrate on a "high value" display sub area while ignoring "low value" problems elsewhere on the display. Such "data" would have application to Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) jobs. We tested the hypothesis in an experiment rewa

Pumping and faulting of undoweled Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements has become a serious problem in South Dakota. Repair techniques to correct these distresses include diamond grinding, full/partial depth repairs, load transfer restoration, installation of edge drains, crack sealing, joint resealing, and slab stabilization (undersealing). Un

This report describes methods to evaluate incremental damage on unsurfaced roads and flexible pavement roads due to additional solid waste vehicle hauls. Load equivalencies used to estimate damage are presented for nine solid waste vehicle types. Incremental damage due to solid waste vehicles is evaluated by estimating damage due to existing traffi

To create a framework for international cooperation in developing civil aviation, representatives of the United States and 51 additional countries signed the 1944 Convention on International Civil Aviation, commonly called the "Chicago Convention," and created the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). As of April 1993, ICAO had 178 memb

The purpose of this Circular is to advise owners and operators of U.S. flag merchant vessels regarding voluntary compliance with the International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention.
This General Accounting Office fact sheet provides information on the availability of air travel between small airports in the Midwest and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Some small communities in the Midwest contend that service to O'Hare is vital to attracting new industry and maintaining healthy local economies. Although the Essential Ai

Pitting and crevice corrosion have profound effects on the fatigue life of structural and reinforcing steels used in bridge construction. Stress concentration factors were measured on actual corroded plates with strain gage instrumentation. Using corrosion rates and pitting ratios for immersion, intermittent immersion and various atmospheric enviro

Traffic control signal systems are among the many tools for managing traffic congestion in urban areas. Systems that are appropriately designed and properly operated and maintained provide safety improvements, reduce travel times and vehicle operating costs, and lower fuel consumption and vehicle emissions. They will also form one of the essential

This report describes research performed by the South Dakota Department of Transportation to determine cost-effectiveness of snowplow cutting edges. Five vehicles at maintenance units around the state were instrument with mileage counters to record the distance plowed by each set of cutting edges. Two of these vehicles were in Pierre, one in Murdo,

The objectives of this study were to: 1) evaluate the influence of coarse aggregate shape and surface texture on deformation characteristics of asphalt concrete, 2) characterize aggregate elongation, shape, and texture using fractal dimensional analysis, and 3) study the correlation between the physical properties of coarse aggregates and the perma

This report reviews the projected airport development needs as represented in the Texas Aeronautical Facilities Plan, produced by the Aviation Division, Texas Department of Transportation. The 5-year development needs for state general aviation airports are shown to be significantly greater than existing and expected state funding capabilities. An

For several decades, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LDOTD) has been able to rely on an ample supply of labor with appropriate equipment to provide soil design data. Budget cutbacks have forced reduction in personnel and equipment to the point that the Department forces are no longer able to keep up with the demand for t

The FY 1994 plan covers the entire Fiscal Year and uses the NHTSA program structure as it appears in the Budget of the U.S. Government: Fiscal Year 1994. The agency is in the process of developing performance-based program groupings for future year plans. OMB has requested that the FY 1994 plan indicate any potential changes in performance measurem
