“Sell first, repent later.”

This chapter examines how Chelsea Piers facilities, located directly up the Westside Highway from Lower Manhattan, had served a major role in disaster response from the earliest hours of the 9/11 attacks. The piers offered water stations for people fleeing from downtown and became a key debarkation point for the waterborne evacuation, delivering more than 10,000 people off the island from its docks. Then, the following day, more than 30,000 people arrived to volunteer their help and connect with other New Yorkers. In the days that followed, thousands of uniformed personnel were fed in an events center at Pier 60, hundreds of rescuers slept and showered in Chelsea Piers facilities, and truckloads of donations and supplies were assembled and processed for delivery to the trade center site. By Wednesday, the flood of private citizens' donations had been supplemented with massive corporate contributions arriving in bulk. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard was confronted with two opposing missions: protecting potential targets of a second-wave attack and continuing commerce in a port that regularly handled approximately 6,000 inbound and outbound containers daily, the closure of which created complications worldwide.

Innovative Exploration Drilling and Data Acquisition – Test Center (I-EDDA-TC), Örebro, Central Sweden

<p>Increasing the effectiveness of exploration for mineral resources is vital to meet future societal, economic and environmental challenges. Effective exploration drilling for mineral resources is an area where industrial innovation plays an important role. Measurements-while-drilling, data acquisition and next generation logging sondes represent three important areas that need development in the mineral exploration sector. Despite this need, there is a lack of test beds that allow to test novel drilling equipment. This limits the development and implementation of equipment with technology that has been proven, but does not yet fulfil the requirements of a product on the commercial market. Although a variety of test sites exist throughout Europe, they are constrained to existing infrastructure, which limits users to pre-existing conditions that may not fit their purpose or need. The I-EDDA-TC provides a unique environment for the development of drilling, and related, equipment used for exploration of mineral resources.</p><p>The regional geology around the test center site is dominated by Svecokarelian age granitoid intrusive and acid volcanic rocks (rhyolites) that strike east-west and dip sub-vertical. During 2019 and 2020, two boreholes were drilled at the test center site, as part of an EIT Raw Materials upscaling project. The first borehole is a fully cored 970 m deep borehole drilled with diamond bit (HQ dimension). The second borehole was drilled in the late summer of 2020, and is a 200 m deep percussion-drilled borehole with ~220 mm diameter. Here we present a preliminary synthesis of results from a geophysical survey, borehole logging and geological logging of drill core.</p><p>In summer 2019 a comprehensive geophysical surveying program was performed at the site, including 3D high resolution seismic, 2D deeper seismic with a large vibrator source, a series of high-resolution resistivity profiles and magnetic profiles. The 3D seismic data provided detailed velocity information in the near-surface at the site, allowing interpretation of depths to the groundwater table and bedrock in 3D. Data gained from two downhole logging campaigns provides a robust base for the detailed differentiation and characterization of the formations. A first look on the data shows well defined correlations amongst the various geophysical downhole parameters. Geological logging focused both on material properties (e.g. mineralogy, grain-size, texture, alteration and mineralization) and rock mass (joints and RQD). Magnetic susceptibility and ultrasonic pulse velocity were measured at regular intervals along the full core length, and 66 specimens were prepared and analysed with respect to porosity, density, abrasivity, major chemical elements, indirect tensile strength and uniaxial compressive strength. The integrated analysis of core data, surface and borehole seismic data, and the continuous logging profiles allows for the 3-dimensional characterization of the underground below the test center platform, as well as provides reference data for assessment of work conducted at the site (e.g. development of geophysical instruments, testing of drillabilaty and wear on drill bits). Our results will be open access published so that data can be compared to drilling and instruments test of commercial and academic parties utilizing this testing facility in future.</p>

Adsorption mechanisms and electronic and magnetic properties of oxygen on iron tetranitride

The oxide layer on iron nitrides restricts the conductivity of electrode materials. The adsorption and dissociation processes of O2 on the Fe4N have been analyzed by using first-principles. Comparing all the O2Fe4N isomers, we find that O atom prefers to locate at the center site of Fe–Fe–Fe plane which stays away from N atom. It means that O2 molecule is dissociated on the surface of Fe4N molecule. Endothermic and exothermic processes occur with the adsorption and decomposition of O2 on the surface of Fe4N. All the O2Fe4N clusters still present higher kinetic activity. For the O2Fe4N clusters, the internal electrons transfer from 4[Formula: see text] to 3[Formula: see text] and 4[Formula: see text] orbitals which are obviously more than those transfer to the other atoms. O atoms acquire less electron from nearby Fe atoms which confirms that the adsorption of O2 on Fe4N is a physical adsorption process. The average spin of the ground-state O2Fe4N clusters is 1.805 [Formula: see text]/atom.

SAT0222 CLINICAL SPECTRUM AND LONG TERM FOLLOWUP OF SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS-ASSOCIATED MACROPHAGE ACTIVATION SYNDROME

Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients present with variable clinical features ranging from mild joint and skin involvement to life-threatening organ involvement such as nephritis, neuropsychiatric involvement, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). HLH is rare, but fatal complication of SLE. Recently, European League Against Rheumatism, the American College of Rheumatology, and the Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization was to develop a set of classification criteria for MAS complicating systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (PRINTO criteria) [1]. Sung Soo Ahn and his colleagues reported PRINTO criteria predicted mortality of adult SLE patient, but they followed only one year [2].Objectives:To reveal association PRINTO criteria with long term mortalities in SLE patient in our Hospital.Methods:We performed a retrospective analysis of SLE patients who received moderate dose glucocorticoid therapy (>0.4mg/kg/d) in our hospital between April 2008 and April 2019. Patients were evaluated for HLH using the 2016 PRINTO classification criteria for MAS. Clinical features and laboratory findings were compared and overall survival rate was analyzed.Results:Among 164 episode (144 patients) with SLE, 31 episode (31 patients) 5.2% were considered to have MAS on admission.The overall survival rate was significantly lower in patients with MAS than without MAS (86.2% vs. 95.3%, p = 0.048). Interestingly, SLEDAI had no association with mortality, relapse rate, and MAS complication. SLEDAI more focused on renal and neuropsychiatric symptoms than hematologic features. So SLEDAI might not be associated with MAS secondary to SLE. Furthermore, we observed no death patient with MAS after one year, and only 1 case relapse in MAS patient. So MAS might have fatal but less relapsing property compared with other lupus cases.Conclusion:PRINTO criteria may be useful to differentiated fatal MAS patients from others. Further investigations are required to confirm our findings.Limitation The main limitations of our study include its retrospective design, single center site, and that the number of admitted patients with SLE was small.Limitation:The main limitations of our study include its retrospective design, single center site, and that the number of admitted patients with SLE was small.Limitation:Limitation The main limitations of our study include its retrospective design, single center site, and that the number of admitted patients with SLE was small.References:[1]Wulffraat N, Schneider R, Filipovic L, et al. 2016 Classification Criteria for Macrophage Activation Syndrome Complicating Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
