Abstract Environmental safety issues are becoming increasingly important in the life of society. Among environmental safety issues in power engineering, acoustic safety occupies a special place. The problem of acoustic safety is associated with the fact that the regular operation of power equipment leads to an increased noise level, and power facilities are located in close proximity to residential areas. In this work, acoustic calculations were performed to determine the sanitary protection zone for gas turbines units (GTU) and combined cycle gas turbine units (CCGT) of various capacities. A formula was obtained for calculating the width of the sanitary protection zone depending on the capacity of gas turbine units and combined cycle plants and their number. It is shown that the sanitary protection zone (SPZ) of a power unit of high capacity is smaller than the sanitary protection zone of several power units of the same capacity. It is found that the noise levels from individual groups of equipment can determine the noise level at the entire border of the sanitary protection zone or in its individual sections. At the same time, noise suppression measures should be taken for all sources that generate noise levels in excess of standards. It is necessary to start noise suppression measures from those sources that generate excess noise in a larger section of the sanitary protection zone.

Transformers in power systems require different types of protection.This protection is provided by various types of relays, bothelectromagnetic and static. In general, transformer protection servesto protect the transformer in the event of a disturbance, so that thetransformer can be avoided from damage. The relay that will be usedto protect the transformer is a differential relay. This relay workswhen there is a difference in the current of the Current Transformer[CT] on the primary and secondary sides. If the fault occurs outsidethe protection zone, the relay will not work. The method used in thisresearch is R&D (Research and Development), namely research anddevelopment methods, research and development methods areresearch methods used to produce certain products, and test theeffectiveness of these products. An evaluation of the differentialrelay setting on a 150kV power transformer has been carried out atthe Pondok Indah Substation using the Modbus CommunicationsProtocol, where the settings in the field and from the results ofcalculations using the Micom 632 differential relay are obtained: forthe calculation results of Idiff = 0.39 and Idiff max = 8.07 while theactual setting in the field is Idiff = 0.3 and Idiff max = 8. Thedifference in value between the actual setting and the calculationresults is Idiff by 30%, and Idiff max 0.87% is still within theallowed interval . Setting using the modbus communicationsprotocol has advantages, including reducing wiring, makingtroubleshooting or interference easier, reducing the possibility ofhuman-error errors in the configuration process, and making it easyto make changes.

Aiming at the limitation of the traditional four-dimensional (4-D) trajectory-prediction model of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), a 4-D trajectory combined prediction model based on a genetic algorithm is proposed. Based on historical flight data and the UAV motion equation, the model is weighted dynamically by a genetic algorithm, which can predict UAV trajectory and the time of entering the protection zone instantly and accurately. Then, according to the number of areas where the tangent line of the current trajectory point intersects with the collision area, alarm area, alert area, and the time of entering the protection zone, the UAV’s behavior intention can be estimated. The simulation experiments verify the dangerous behaviors of UAV under different danger levels, which provides reference for the subsequent maneuvering strategies.

Survival during the nonbreeding season, when mortality from food shortages and raptor predation is highest, influences shorebird population growth. These selection pressures, as well as anthropogenic influences, can shape wintering shorebird habitat use patterns. The western snowy plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) is a small shorebird that uses sand-spits, dune-backed beaches, open areas around estuaries for foraging and roosting. The Pacific Coast population of western snowy plovers is listed as a federally threatened species and a California Species of Special Concern. Previous studies suggest humans, dogs and corvids are sources of disturbance to plovers on public beaches. During 2014 to 2019, these disturbance factors were examined at Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach in Alameda, California. In decreasing order of impact, the beach using public, corvids, and dogs were found to be the major stressors to over wintering plovers. Both the public and corvids respectively, resulted in disturbance and avoidance behaviors by plovers nearly 40% of the time. In 2015, the District created the Plover Protection Zone (PPZ) by installing symbolic fencing, signage, and establishing a volunteer team to monitor plovers and educate the public. In 2016, the potential prey abundance within the plover protection zone and areas directly north and south were examined using core samples and sticky traps. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in the amount of macro-invertebrate prey available in the area used by the plovers as compared to other locations. Habitat choice and prey availability are vital to wintering shorebird. During this study, the wintering population of western snowy plovers increased from six to over 54 individuals.

Abstract São Tiago medical spa is an integrated structure in a new Health Tourism Complex, in Penamacor, Portugal, with a recent start of operation, due to the classification of a new natural mineral water in place. That medical spa bases its exploration on the natural mineral water obtained from the Well P1. Thus, to facilitate the preservation of the quality of the resource, natural mineral water, one of the fundamental instruments is the implementation of a Protection Perimeter of Well P1 and its associated aquifer system. In this sense, in this paper, after briefly presenting the basic geoenvironmental aspects that are the base for the elaboration of the Protection Perimeter, the methodology of its elaboration is explained, with the final solution, which constitutes a territory organized by three zones: Immediate Protection Zone, Intermediate Protection Zone and Extended Protection Zone. The official restrictions legally foreseen for those zones are mentioned and the official systematization of the current occupation of the territory is presented, in terms of the Municipal Master Plan (PDM), while emphasizing the potential sources of existing pollution. Finally, some comments are made about the future orientation regarding the occupation of the territory in the interior zones of the Protection Perimeter, so that the new Health Tourism complex, consisting of a medical spa, hotel, and aqualudic spaces, endures in the time, and helps the sustained economic growth of the region.

To evaluate the stability of bridge piers affected by the local scouring, the existing formulas for estimating the maximum local scour depth have been developed based on the results of experiments conducted under a constant water level. However, the applicability of these formulas to the cases where the water level rises and falls, such as a water level change in a real river, is not clear. In this study, water flow experiments were conducted on cylindrical and oval bridge pier models to investigate the effect of iterated water level change on the progression of local scour around piers. Results of experiments with cylindrical and oval pier showed that the local scour depth and length increased by an iterated action of the water level change; however, these values converged after the number of iterated actions reached a certain time. The local scour length at upstream of the bridge pier was approximately 1.8 times larger than the theoretical value, which was calculated through the local scour depth and angle of repose in water. The local scour length is an important parameter for defining the streambed protection zone, which is one of the measures against local scour, and we showed that the streambed protection zone needs to be defined more widely.

A tartaruga verde (Chelonia mydas) pertencente à família Cheloniidae é uma das espécies marinhas que habita todos os mares, apresentando comportamento altamente migratório com movimentos sazonais em busca de alimentos, além de alternar seu ciclo de vida em diferentes habitats. Embora sua origem seja terrestre, local onde são lentas e vulneráveis e onde fazem oviposição; estas evoluíram e se adaptaram ao ambiente marinho, local no qual se deslocam com rapidez e agilidade. Sua morfologia pode auxiliar na identificação das diferentes espécies de tartarugas marinhas, como por exemplo, número de placas na cabeça, formato das mandíbulas, entre outros. O dimorfismo sexual fica evidente na vida adulta, quando os machos passam a apresentar cauda mais longa e garra das nadadeiras anteriores curvada. Por ser a espécie mais comum no litoral brasileiro e por estar incluída na lista de espécies ameaçadas de extinção em escala mundial, este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever sua morfologia e anatomia esquelética a fim de difundir conhecimento básicos que visam a conservação desta espécie de tartaruga marinha.

The article gives an authorial definition of the sanitary protection zone. Sources of ionizing radiation were not taken into account when the definition was created as they have their own specifics and require individual investigation. The definition of the sanitary protection zone is given through the substance of its features, which are disclosed through analysis and comparison of regulatory acts, draft regulatory acts and literature. The features of the sanitary protection zone are the following: facility in respect of which the sanitary protection zone is established; the purpose of its establishment; zone size and boundaries; zone location and configuration; restriction of rights within the zone boundaries. It is proposed to define the facility in a general term “real estate”. It is defined that the purpose of establishing a sanitary protection zone is to ensure the absence of harmful impact on human health outside its boundaries. The size of a sanitary protection zone is calculated in eight cardinal directions taking into account the chemical, biological and physical impact on atmospheric air. The location of a sanitary protection zone is determined around an industrial facility and resembles a belt in configuration. The boundaries of a sanitary protection zone are determined by the geodetic method. The size and boundaries of a zone are shown in urban development zoning maps and in the public cadastral map. Restrictions within sanitary protection zones are expressed in prohibition on construction and obligations on compliance with the established regime.
