Geophysical Surveys

The principal function of the SEG Geophysical Activity Committee is to gather and compile statistics on worldwide geophysical activity. Statistics are primarily obtained through the survey questionnaire which is mailed out at the beginning of the year to over 1500 companies, government agencies, and universities engaged in geophysical work. This year the returned questionnaires included information on more than 1400 geophysical surveys. All activity is not reported through the questionnaire survey; other methods are used to estimate missing data. Each member of the committee is responsible for a geographical area or a specific application. Committee members are thoroughly familiar with the area on which they report. Each member provides appropriate corrections to make the quantitative picture one that his knowledge and experience tell him it should be. The statistics reported on the questionnaire are thus augmented with company scouting reports, reports of scouting services, and by comparison with other published surveys.

This report provides statistics on worldwide use of geophysical methods in 1975. Data were obtained primarily through a survey questionnaire which was mailed out to more than 1500 companies, government agencies, and universities that use geophysical techniques for petroleum exploration, oceanography, engineering, mining, geothermal exploration, and groundwater exploration. Response to the survey was excellent and provided detailed information on more than 2100 geophysical surveys. Data on unit costs, methods used, and line‐miles covered are believed to be more accurate this year as a result of better cooperation from industry in filling out the questionnaires. Computer processing was utilized in tabulating the statistics to provide increased accuracy and detail. Data not supplied on the questionnaire for costs or line mileage were estimated on the basis of worldwide averages to produce a more comprehensive report.

AbstractObjective:To review practices currently used to control transmission of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcusaureus (MRSA) in hospitals, determine the frequency of their use, and discuss the indications for implementing such measures.Design:A questionnaire survey to determine how commonly selected control practices are used, and a literature review of the efficacy of control practices.Participants:Two hundred fifty-six of 360 hospital-based members fo the Society for Hospital Epidemiology of America, Inc. (SHEA) completed the survey questionnaire.Result:Many different combinations of surveillance and control measures are used by hospitals with MRSA. Nine percent of hospitals stated that no special measures were used to control MRSA. The efficacy of commonly used control measures has not been established by controlled trials.Conclusions:Implementing control measures is warranted when MRSA causes a high incidence of serious nosocomial infections, and is desirable when MRSA has been newly introduced into a hospital or into an intensive care unit, or when MRSA accounts for more than 10% of nosocomial staphylococcal isolates. While the value of some practices is well established, measures such as routinely attempting to eradicate carriage of MRSA by colonized patients and personnel require further evaluation.

New Industry

At 605,156 units, Malaysia recorded the highest sales in passenger car market in 2010. It provided a very strong positive impact to the local automotive manufacturers like Proton and Perodua which monopolized approximately 60% of the Total Industry Volume (TIV). However, the global paradigm-shift towards environmental sustainability also played a significant role in ensuring the sector remains strong and competitive. The trend in the global automotive industry today has led to considerations for green design concept cars. Recently, remanufacturing activity is known to be more profitable and able to minimize the negative impacts of end of life vehicle to the environment. Since remanufacturing is a relatively new industry in Malaysia, it is essential to develop and gather good knowledge and information from the appropriate parties such as Proton, Perodua, Honda and Toyota as well as government agencies or enforcement authorities such as MITI & JPJ including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Motor Teknologi & Industri Sdn Bhd (MTI). By using a survey questionnaire as the methodology tool, this study is developed with the hope that ample knowledge and information could be collected and further analyzed. Results from the study would be channelled as a tool to contribute towards research activities in the Malaysian automotive industry with regards to environmental impact from product remanufacturing.

Tioman Island in Malaysia was once voted one of the most beautiful islands in the world. However, this ranking has gradually slipped, due to development and poor environmental management of the island. The authors employ the stakeholder theory in examining the perceptions of four stakeholder groups (tourists, local residents, government agencies, and business operators) on the environmental problems faced on the island and to identify the parties jointly responsible for solving these problems. A total of 15 problems were identified from 46 exploratory interviews conducted prior to the questionnaire survey. A questionnaire was constructed based on the interview data, and 320 questionnaires were collected from the four stakeholder groups. The results provide support that different stakeholder groups identify different problems and they perceived responsibility for solving these problems. The findings also indicated that problems related to limited road access, neglect of local community, limited phone and internet access, and dirty beaches needed immediate attention.

This report presents statiscal data on worldwide geophysical activity in 1978. These data were compiled from survey questionaires that were completed by more than 500 companies, contractors, government agencies, and institutions located throughout the free world. We have attempted to gather information from users of geophysical techniques in the areas of petroleum, mining, geothermal, and groundwater exploration; and from those who employ geophysical methods in engineering, oceanography, and research. Information was gathered on airborne, drilled hole, land, and marine geophysical surveys. Statistics were compiled on miles of coverage and acquisition cost. Data not supplied on the questionnaires for cost and line‐miles were estimated on the basis of massive statistical averages for the area and technique reported. This process is necessary to avoid distortion of individual statistical items.

Spatial Indicators

The aim of this study was to explore and construct spatial indicators suitable for green café ambience. The indicators were further empirically verified. A three-round questionnaire survey, based on the Delphi method, was conducted with 15 experts, including university professors (food and beverage services management and interior environmental design), café operators, and personnel from government agencies. Data were collected, and the results on the characteristics of the repeated feedback from the experts were convergent. Thirty-six indicators suitable for the design of green café ambience were extracted, of which 17 were verified by actual cafés as highly operable. The five-sense indicators of sustainable green ambience design obtained in this study can facilitate positive customer experiences and enhance the appeal of maintaining sustainable green trends for cafés. These indicators can also provide references for café operators in business planning and green café ambience design.
