Preliminary Pipeline Route Optimization (PPRO) is a GIS-enabled tool that analyzes engineering, environmental, land, and constructability factors to generate least cost and minimal impact pipeline routes. PPRO can quickly create multiple pipeline routes and analyze different routing scenarios. The PPRO route(s) can then be overlaid with the PPRO database during route review. PPRO generates impact analysis reports based on the pipeline route as well as potential workspace layouts, environmental study areas, or buffers around the route. PPRO integrates with TRC's data management solution to connect stakeholders to project insights.
This document describes a methodology for mapping truck permit routes from a West Virginia Department of Transportation database onto a linear referencing system in GIS. It involves a 5-step process to extract route data from permit records, assign the routes to the state's road network in GIS, and determine travel directions on each segment. The mapped permit routes can then be analyzed for various transportation planning purposes such as identifying infrastructure needs and quantifying illegal overweight truck traffic.
The piezometric chart is a tool for analyzing water supply network calculations that shows pressure changes between nodes and ensures sufficient pressure for end users. It displays the network route between specified nodes in the direction of water flow, showing pressure and velocity. The main line shows variable full water pressure. Node attributes along the route are displayed below. Interactive objects allow transitioning to maps and passports for network analysis.
Improving Information Usability at BC TransitSafe Software
Through examples and demonstration this presentation discusses how BC Transit applied spatial data transformation processes to three projects in order to improve data access, understandability and overall usage - all while ensuring high quality, accurate information results.
This document summarizes a research project to develop a geographic information system (GIS) of petrochemical transmission pipelines in the Lafayette, Louisiana area. The GIS provides vital data for emergency response, environmental research, and critical infrastructure protection. Researchers collected pipeline map data, took GPS points of pipeline crossings, and developed accurate digital pipeline features. Data compilation was challenging due to errors in existing maps. The final GIS contains pipeline data for 26 operators in the study area and was delivered on a CD along with a report.

Presentation training session at HELCOMManuel Frias
This document summarizes a presentation training session that was held to discuss improving presentation skills. The session was divided into three parts: 1) an activity where participants defined characteristics of a good presentation by writing ideas on post-its, 2) a discussion of basic tips for preparing presentations such as considering the audience and telling a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end, and 3) examples of how to design presentation slides better by reducing clutter. There will be a follow up session focused on designing slides in PowerPoint.
How to achieve a sustainable Baltic Sea with the help of GIS (and ESRI)Manuel Frias
The document discusses the state of the Baltic Sea and the work of HELCOM to protect it. It notes that while nitrogen and phosphorus loads into the sea have decreased significantly since HELCOM began its activities in 1974, water clarity has not notably improved. The state of the Baltic Sea report indicates that inputs of nutrients from land are still affecting some sub-basins, contaminant levels remain elevated, and many species and habitats are in inadequate condition. Overall progress has been made to reduce pollution but more work remains to be done to fully restore the health of the fragile Baltic Sea ecosystem.
I gave this presentation during the 1st seminar on the use of AIS data. AIS is a tracking system ships have for safety reasons. HELCOM has gathered the data of all HELCOM countries for 10 years. Until now, the regional datasets have not been fully utilized.
The Interreg project Baltic LINes (2016-2019) aims at developing planning proposals for linear infrastructures (cables and pipelines), fixed installations and shipping lanes.
The role of HELCOM is to develop the first prototype Baltic Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI), a system to access data from original providers.
I gave this presentation in the 2nd Baltic MSP Forum in Riga in November 2016.
In our last Baltic LINes partner meeting in Helsinki in March 2017, HELCOM asked partners to add the name tag of each layer in all WMS services. This is very important to design the prototype MSDI.

The document discusses shipping traffic density maps created from Automatic Identification System (AIS) data collected in the Baltic Sea region by the Baltic Scope project. It explains that density maps were created by counting the number of ships crossing 1km grid cells over a given time period and applying a color gradient to represent traffic density. One year of AIS data contains over 1.3 billion rows of data, which if printed would require 30 million pages of paper and stretch from the Baltic Sea to South Africa if placed end to end. The maps provide visualizations of shipping traffic densities in the Baltic Sea region from 2005 to 2014 broken down by vessel type.
Changing the data visualization cultureManuel Frias
Manuel Frias is working to change the data visualization culture at HELCOM, where he has worked for 6 years. He became interested in data visualization after seeing books on the topic and realized there was room for improvement. His mission is to challenge traditional views that scientists and policymakers don't need to pay special attention to visualization. Some obstacles include perceptions that simplifying means dumbing down and that people don't know how to draw. Frias is using subtle strategies like putting design books in communal areas and including more graphs in reports to gradually influence the culture over time.

Maritime Spatial Planning in the BalticSea - a love storyManuel Frias
This document discusses marine spatial planning (MSP) in the Baltic Sea region. It references the Baltic Sea Action Plan goal to achieve good environmental status by 2021 and the VASAB goal to develop MSP principles based on the ecosystem approach by 2010. It also lists the 10 broad-scale MSP principles developed by HELCOM, including sustainable management, ecosystem approach, and transnational coordination. The document suggests HELCOM and VASAB provide a forum for dialogue to achieve coherent MSP across the Baltic Sea and that findings from MSP projects should be utilized. It notes that MSP is still in its infancy and that developing coherent plans is challenging due to the diverse backgrounds of those involved.
This presentation was part of the Erasmus Mundus Maritime Spatial Planning course in Seville January 2015. It is about the story of HELCOM - what is it, how does it protect the Baltic and why.

(Q)SAR Assessment Framework: Guidance for Assessing (Q)SAR Models and Predict...hannahthabet
The webinar provided an overview of the new OECD (Q)SAR Assessment Framework for evaluating the scientific validity of (Q)SAR models, predictions, and results from multiple predictions. The QAF provides assessment elements for existing principles for evaluating models, as well as new principles for evaluating predictions and results. In addition to the principles, assessment elements, and guidance for evaluating each element, the QAF includes a checklist for reporting assessments.
This new Framework provides regulators with a consistent and transparent approach for reviewing the use of (Q)SAR predictions in a regulatory context and increases the confidence to accept alternative methods for evaluating chemical hazards. The OECD worked closely together with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italy) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), supported by a variety of international experts to develop a checklist of criteria and guidance for evaluating each criterion. The aim of the QAF is to help establish confidence in the use of (Q)SARs in evaluating chemical safety, and was designed to be applicable irrespective of the modelling technique used to build the model, the predicted endpoint, and the intended regulatory purpose.
The webinar provided an overview of the project and presented the main aspects of the framework for assessing models and results based on individual or multiple predictions.

Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
