Rules on Repair, Replacement Activities (RRA) in Fitness-For-Service (FFS) Code of the Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) have been under development since the 2004 Edition. The FFS of 2010 Addenda to the 2008 Edition is under preparation for publishing at present. However, Japanese regulatory authorities, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) and Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization (JNES) have not endorsed the RRA rules yet, even though the rest of the FFS Code, i.e. inspection and flaw evaluation rules have been already endorsed. NISA/JNES have not even begun technical assessment of RRA rules yet, because regulatory authorities do not consider that RRA rules of JSME FFS Code have a completed system of RRA, inspection and flaw evaluation rules, e.g. in-service inspection intervals after repair. Also, the regulatory authorities are concerned that no method has yet been established by NISA/JNES to confirm the conformity of RRA rules in FFS Code with the governmental technical standard. In order to solve the problem of developing the completed system of RRA and related rules and of providing information on the relationship between RRA rules and governmental technical standards so as to assist regulatory authorities’ understanding, the RRA part of the JSME FFS Code was modified in the 2010 addenda. This paper describes the major features of the code modification of RRA rules in the 2010 Addenda. Remaining issues to be solved in future addenda or editions are also discussed.

Os principais equipamentos encontrados para realização de movimentos mecânicos são os motores elétricos, sendo que a maior parte destes é constituída pelos motores de indução trifásicos. É inegável a crescente preocupação com a questão da eficiência energética, sendo estes equipamentos os maiores consumidores de energia elétrica, principalmente, nas indústrias. Sendo assim, este trabalho apresenta uma plataforma experimental implementada para a obtenção do rendimento dos motores de indução trifásicos a partir da determinação dos parâmetros do circuito equivalente, de ensaios térmicos e ensaios específicos para obter as perdas da respectiva máquina, com base em procedimentos presentes na norma técnica NBR17094-3:2018 da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas. Neste contexto, o rendimento foi obtido para diversos carregamentos para um motor de 3 cv a partir da variação de carga em seu eixo, utilizando, para isso, uma máquina de corrente contínua. Tal plataforma permite verificar o desempenho de motores antigos, motores que passaram por processo de rebobinagem ou motores construídos sob encomenda.Palavras-chaves: NBR17094-3:2018. Motor de indução trifásico. Rendimento. Parâmetros.Experimental platform for efficiency analysis of the three-phase induction motors through specific tests recommended in the technical standard NBR17094-3:2018AbstractThe main equipment used to perform mechanical movements are electric motors, since its majority are composed by three-phase induction motors. There is an undeniable growing concern about the energy saving, being this equipment the major consumers of electricity, especially in industries. Thus, this work presents an experimental platform, implemented to get the performance of the three-phase induction motors from the determination of equivalent circuit tests, thermal tests and specific tests to obtain  the losses of the testing machine based on procedures in technical standard NBR17094-3: 2018 of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards. In this context, the yield was obtained for several loads for a 3 cv engine from the load variation on its axle using a direct current machine. Such platform makes it possible to check the performance of older engines, engines undergoing the rewinding process or custom manufacturing engines.Keywords: NBR17094-3:2018.

Background: In order to standardize maglev transportation engineering and its operation, the research of maglev transportation technical standards becomes important. Based on the analysis of the growth of rail transit, the acceleration of maglev transportation engineering, the China’s standardization regulation and the maglev transportation technology standardization practice, Aim: This paper proposes the basic principles for establishing maglev transportation standard system and the framework of maglev transportation technical standard system, introducing China’s maglev transportation technology standardization mechanism, its achievements, prospects and experiences. Results: By the end of 2017, China had developed 12 maglev transportation technical industry and provincial standards. Conclusion: There are 12 maglev transportation technical industry standards and social organization standards under development.

Based on Standard Literature Library of CNKI, opportunities for technical standards development are identified. The initial keywords of technical standard are determined based on LDA model, whose similar keywords are further confirmed by Word2Vec, and then combining LDA model with Word2Vec the representative keywords of technical standard of manufacturing industry are determined. According to confirmed representative keywords, the core technical standards of manufacturing industry are identified by using the center degree and “M-core” method. The dimensions of the frequency square matrix are reduced by using the PCA module of Python, and the scatter plot is brawn, the technology gaps are identified by combing the consideration on the core technical standards, and then the future development opportunities are confirmed based on the map of patent technology effect matrix.

Abstract This paper provides a preview of a DOE Technical Standard “Principles for Procedure System Management” due to be released in the fall of 2001. Procedures are identified as causal factors in accidents, operating events, and lessons learned within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the commercial nuclear industry, and other complex industries. While literature exists regarding the control, production, and use of procedures, DOE has not provided guidance on the collective elements and attributes of an effective procedure system. This paper describes a set of design control features that can systematically improve development and maintenance of procedures.

This article analyzes the factors that caused recent conflicts between the Korean government and civil society over e-government initiatives and draws implications for e-governance. The disputes over the government’s digitalization initiatives in Korea, for example the conflicts over the electronic education system and the national electronic ID card, show that the government in Korea as in other countries has faced fierce opposition from citizens and suffered major setbacks in pursuing its ICT projects. This article argues that the current cases in Korean society should be understood from a new perspective, one which emphasizes the interaction between the technical standard and the social standard. It shows that the gaps between technical standards, which idealize efficiency, and social standards, which weigh e-privacy as supreme, breed conflict. Finally, the research draws some implications of the analysis for e-governance and democracy.

Root canal treatment (RCT) is a procedure to eliminate pulpal diseases with the aim to promote healing of the periradicular tissue. The RCT conducted must be of high technical standard and achieve a good quality endodontic work (GQEW) to ensure successful outcome and prolonged retention of the teeth in oral cavity. Previous studies reported poor outcome of RCT conducted by the undergraduate dental students. There is limited report documented on the quality of RCT performed by the dental students in Malaysia. The aim of this study was to identify the technical standards of the RCT and types of post-endodontic restoration placed by USIM undergraduate dental students. The radiographic obturation quality from 274 root filled teeth were evaluated against several indices. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 21. Post treatment radiographs indicated that 84.62% of the RCT have adequate density indicating good apical seal. Meanwhile, for obturation level, the root canal filling that ends 0-2mm (optimal), >2mm away (inadequate), and beyond apex (extrusion) were 84.59%, 5%, and 10.77%, respectively. Teeth with GQEW, having both adequate root filling length and complete obturation were found in 194 (74.6%) teeth. McNemar’s test revealed significant reduction in post-treatment periapical index (p<0.001) indicating good periapical healing. Permanent restoration was only placed in 48% of the teeth. In conclusion, the RCT conducted by USIM undergraduate dental students have a good technical standard. Placements of post-endodontic permanent restoration need to be emphasized in the curricular to ensure long-term success of the endodontically treated teeth.
