During an incident, responders may need to balance the intensity of their response approach against potential congestion delays. Often, these decisions must be made in real time using available data. As one example, a responder may decide to push a crashed truck to the shoulder and risk damaging the cargo. Based on discussions with first responders, this study identified data needs to support cost-benefit decisions made by on-scene incident managers. Procedures for estimating the impacts associated with an ongoing incident are described, considering capacity reductions, queuing, economic losses from congestion, and risks of secondary crashes. These procedures could be encoded in a spreadsheet for dispatch use or as a web site or smart phone application for use at the incident scene.

Abstract Previously, well monitoring in Siak block relied on production crew scheduled tour that needed six hours to complete one cycle of all wells in Lindai field. This paper describes the utilization of digital technology to observe well parameters while sending notification if there is any anomaly regarding those parameters through smart phone application or website. Smart microcontroller was installed in wellhead panel and three sensors are mounted in desired point around wellhead to perform online Intelligent Well Monitoring (IWM) for well’s parameters. If abnormality occurs, real time notification would be sent to user’s smart phone application or website by using global mobile communication system (GSM) signal. The parameters monitored were pressure, temperature, and load because they are essential to be analyzed as initial diagnosis of well problem. Based on the readings, production team could quickly perform troubleshooting to prevent loss production opportunity (LPO). The programming of this smart microcontroller used C language as data compiler. This method was tested in one of the wells in Lindai field, which has the highest oil production. After three months of surveillance, in terms of data quality, the values shown by this tool had only five percent differences compared to manual survey using calibrated measurement tools. Additionally, the parameters could be monitored online, real time, and gave the notification directly to users should there be any issues. Moreover, this tool could reduce the response time of the field crew significantly from six hours following the conventional field tour to only in five minutes by relying on real time notification. In addition, the operational cost of this tool was 82% cheaper compared to other well-known online monitoring tool available in the market so it is considered economical. In the long term, this tool will be implemented on all wells in Siak block for integrated real time monitoring. Furthermore, the impact of field scale implementation will be much greater such as increasing data accuracy by eliminating human error from manual well checking and improving safety of the crew by reducing the possibility of fatigue. The utilization of smart microcontroller for online well monitoring is beneficial for marginal field with high number of wells and wide field coverage. Earlier, real time well monitoring is usually considered expensive investment that rarely become priority. However, the implementation of IoT (Internet of Things) by using this tool can be the game changer in marginal field and maximize the well’s production by reducing LPO.

The specific goal of this study was to enhance disease surveillance through the community disease reporters (CDRs) on animal health incidents in Isiolo County of Kenya. The disease surveillance was conducted from 10th February 2017 to 22nd November 2018 covering 8 wards from all the three Sub-Counties of Isiolo County namely Isiolo, Garbatulla and Merti.  The surveillance involved the use of web-based mobile phones application to upload and transmit disease cases, pictures and GPS locations to the Country Veterinary Department. Purposive and convenience sampling were used to select the households due to vastness and mobility of the pastoralists. A total of 194 households were selected for the study. The major findings were; 80% men and 20% women participated as household heads.  A total of 283 reports were collected and uploaded by 18 CDRs from the 194 households. 17 CDRs (94.4%) were able to upload the data on the same day on which it was collected, 7 CDRs uploaded the data one day after it was collected, 8 CDRs (44.4%) uploaded the data within 2-6 days after collection with the same number of CDRs taking 15-31 days.  For reported cases, cattle (67%), camels (72%), sheep (71%) and donkeys (90%) as well as poultry (33.3%) were attended to by the Veterinary Department.  Overall, 60% (164/283) of all the livestock disease cases reported were followed or seen by the Veterinary Department. Of the diseases reported, Isiolo sub-county reported more cases in goats, cattle and poultry, while Garbatulla sub-county recorded the highest number of cases in camels and sheep.  In all the three sub-counties, the most reported livestock disease cases were of goats. Based on the findings above, CDRs can detect and transmit real-time to near-real time livestock diseases information using web-based smartphone applications to help veterinary services to analyse and respond

This report is dedicated to the role of the web site as an important tool for presenting business on the Internet. Classification of site types has been made in terms of their application in the business and the types of structures in their construction. The Models of the Life Cycle for designing business websites are analyzed and are outlined their strengths and weaknesses. The stages in the design, construction, commissioning, and maintenance of a business website are distinguished and the activities and requirements of each stage are specified.

This manuscript provides two demonstrations of how Augmented Reality (AR), which is the projection of virtual information onto a real-world object, can be applied in the classroom and in the laboratory. Using only a smart phone and the free HP Reveal app, content rich AR notecards were prepared. The physical notecards are based on Organic Chemistry I reactions and show only a reagent and substrate. Upon interacting with the HP Reveal app, an AR video projection shows the product of the reaction as well as a real-time, hand-drawn curved-arrow mechanism of how the product is formed. Thirty AR notecards based on common Organic Chemistry I reactions and mechanisms are provided in the Supporting Information and are available for widespread use. In addition, the HP Reveal app was used to create AR video projections onto laboratory instrumentation so that a virtual expert can guide the user during the equipment setup and operation.
