The fact that gas hydrate and/or paraffin wax is frequently plugged in offshore pipeline has been become very significant for offshore piepline flow assurance. An active electrical heating along pipeline has adapted in resolving flow assurance problem like as gas hydrate and wax plugging. This study represents a novel internal-swirled heater which was designed and fabricated for more effective heating and thermal mixing through pipeline. The internal-swirled heater suggested in this study shows higher thermal mixing performances than the conventional external-traced heater.

Vibrating wire (VW) strain gauges are widely used for the evaluation of pipeline safety in extreme cold region. The development of VW strain gauges for the low temperature environment is necessary because of the high cost of gauges sold in developed countries. Thermistors embedded in the regular VW strain gauges and PT 100 sensors embedded in the gauges specially manufactured for this study have gone through credibility tests for temperature measurements. The use of PT 100 is recommended at low temperature environments because thermistors have low credibility at temperatures below $-15^{\circ}C$. Strain measurements using regular VW strain gauges also show low accuracies as temperature goes down. VW strain gauges manufactured using inconel give high credibility of strain measurements at low temperatures. More reliable VW strain gauges for the low temperature environment will be developed in the near future.

Recently, the need of alternate energy resources is increasing due to the global warming issue. The natural gas buried in the extremely cold regions of Alaska and Siberia is of much interest these days. However, the construction standards are needed to be used in extremely cold regions. Particularly, more research work need to be carried out on the trench stability so that the safety of the workers is ensured and the damage to the construction machinery can also be reduced resulting in smaller construction period. In this study, the process for lowering of the pipelines of 30 and 40 in. diameters in the ground conditions (silt and peat) of Yakutsk, Russia was analyzed. The slopes of the ground surface were considered as $0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, and $20^{\circ}$ to be excavated in summer and winter. The analysis results show that the weight of pipelayer affects the trench stability. Numerical analysis was performed by considering the types of pipelayers, distance between the trench and pipelayer, and the distance between the pipelayers placed longitudinally along the trench. The results show that as the distance between the pipelayer and the trench decreases, the factor of safety of the slope decreases with an increase in the slope of the ground surface. When the slope of the ground surface was $20^{\circ}$, the breakout surface was anticipated to continue from the pipelayer to the trench boundary. In winter season, stability problem of the trench was not observed when the slope of the ground surface was less than $20^{\circ}$.

This paper describes thermal flow characteristic in various pipelines: straight pipeline and curved pipeline. In the Arctic and ocean area, pipelines are exposed to a extremely low temperature ($0{\sim}-40^{\circ}C$). In this situation, three-dimensional flow analysis should be analyzed to investigate thermal effects such as pressure drop, temperature change, velocity deficit and distribution change of liquid droplet of internal fluid. Also, due to freezing of water droplet, impingement erosion is expected in the curved pipeline. The stability of the pipelines can be influenced by impingement erosion. In this paper, multi-phase and multi-species analysis was introduced to analyze the flow characteristics and impingement erosion of Arctic and ocean pipelines.

Subsea pipelines have an important role in the overall tasks of offshore oil and gas production but arc exposed to various hazards with high potential risks of damage resulting in serious economic loss and impact on ocean environment. In this paper, the dynamic free span is analysed, which is one of main risk factors against the safety of subsea pipelines and the allowable length of dynamic free span which is important for the design of subsea pipelines is determined. The allowable free span length is examined by considering the relationship between vortex shedding frequency and natural frequency of pipeline free span, and the variation of the allowable length is analysed for different boundary conditions of pipe ends. The free span is regarded as a beam on elastic foundations and the boundary condition of the beam is generalized by modelling as restrained by linear and rotational spring at each end. A non-dimensionalized curve is obtained to facilitate the determination of exact allowable length of dynamic free span for subsea pipelines and is applied to the pipelines which is to be installed in the gas fields of the south of East Sea of Korea.

Scattered look-ahead pipelining method can be efficiently used for high sample rate or low-power applications of digital recursive filters. Although the pipelined filters are guaranteed to be stable by this method, these filters suffer from large round off noise when the poles are crowed within some critical regions. To avoid this problem, a low-noise implementation technique was proposed using constrained Remez exchange algorithm. By the constrained filter design approach, the desired filter spectrum is satisfied while some of the pole angles are constrained to avoid pole crowding within critical regions. In the proposed approach, to obtain improved spectrum characteristics or better round off noise properties, the radius of the angle-constrained pole is optimized depending on the direction of the pole movement.

Scattered look-ahead(SLA) pipelining method can be efficiently used for high-speed or low-power applications of digital II R filters. Although the pipelined filters are guaranteed to be stable by this method, these filters suffer from large roundoff noise when the poles are crowded within some critical regions. An angle and radius constrained II R fille. design approach using modified Remez exchange algorithm and least squares algorithm is proposed to avoid tight pole-crowding in pipelined filters, resulting in improved frequency responses and reduced coefficient sensitivities. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method leads to chip area reduction by $33{\%}$ and low power by $45{\%}$ against the conventional method.

Subsets pipelines are exposed to several potential risks of damage due to corrosion, soil instability, anchor impact and other hazards. One of the main risk factors for the safety of a subsea pipeline is its free spanning. This paper examines the safety of subsea pipelines with free span under axial compressive load. The variation of allowable lengths of dynamic free span is examined for generalized boundary conditions. The free span is modelled as a beam with an elastic foundations and the boundary condition is replaced by linear and rotational springs at each end. A dynamic free span curve is obtained with a function of non-dimensional parameters and can be used usefully for the design of subsea pipelines with a free span. A case study is carried out to introduce the application method of the curve.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of recent studies conducted on the topic of nowcasting in order to enhance the accuracy and promptness of official statistical data. Furthermore, we propose an alternative approach involving the utilization of real-time data and its corresponding collection methods to effectively operate a real-time nowcasting model capable of accurately capturing the current economic condition. We explore high-frequency real-time data that can predict economic indicators in both the public and private sectors and propose a pipeline for data collection processing and modeling that is based on cloud platforms. Furthermore we validate the essential elements required for the implementation of real-time nowcasting, as well as their data management protocols to ensure the reliability and consistency needed for accurate forecasting of official statistical indicators.
