The Inventory File
Ansible, 2016Co-Authors: Michael HeapAbstract:In Chapter 1, you put together a simple playbook and ran it against your Vagrant machine using the vagrant provision command. You can run that same playbook against any machine that also has a running SSH server by using the ansible-playbook command. First, however, you need an Inventory File. In this chapter, we’ll take a look at what an Inventory File is, how to run ansible-playbook without Vagrant, and how to leverage the Inventory File when you have a complex Inventory of machines with which you need to interact.

evaluation of expected accident frequency formulas for rail highway crossings
2000Co-Authors: Y M Elzohairy, R F BenekohalAbstract:The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) uses an Expected Accident Frequency (EAF) formula as one of the parameters in prioritizing the rail-highway grade crossings that need warning devices upgrade. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the formula and assessed the current 0.02 threshold. Field data were collected from three railroad corridors and 93 crossings in Illinois. The data showed that 21% of the current Inventory data have outdated entries for warning devices. The Inventory File for 9,063 public grade crossings along with the 1988-1997 Accident File (2,776 crashes) were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the EAF formula. The results indicated that the IDOT formula fell short of identifying the most hazardous crossings that need warning devices upgrade. About 77% of crossings that had an EAF of 0.02 or higher did not experience any crashes. Four potential models (Connecticut, Michigan, California, and USDOT models) were evaluated using Illinois data and none of them consistently outperformed the IDOT EAF formula. A new Illinois Hazard Index (IHI) formula was developed. The variables used in IHI are average daily traffic, number of trains per day, maximum timetable speed, number of tracks, number of highway lanes, 5-year history, and control devices factor. The IHI formula identified a higher number of locations with a higher crash rate than the IDOT formula did. The revised IHI should be used in combination with other criteria to identify those crossings in need of safety improvement.

Retábulos da Ilha de Santa Maria - Açores
2019Co-Authors: Rodrigues, Carlos Alberto LouçãAbstract:A presente dissertação, subordinada ao tema “Retábulos da Ilha de Santa Maria – Açores”, tem como objetivo principal estudar e analisar uma das manifestações artísticas que mais notabilidade teve durante o Antigo Regime. Pretende este estudo, acima de tudo, contribuir para a divulgação, valorização e salvaguarda deste património artístico e cultural através da elaboração de uma monografia. O estudo divide-se em três partes. A primeira tem como finalidade caracterizar a evolução histórica da atual ilha de Santa Maria, com o propósito de destacar o aspeto religioso, apresentando geograficamente a localização das igrejas matrizes ou paroquiais, igrejas, ermidas e um convento franciscano que se edificaram ao longo dos séculos XVI, XVII e XVIII e que têm os retábulos de maior valor patrimonial. Ainda aqui foram realçadas as expressões relativas as vivências religiosas de maior relevo da sociedade mariense, que se manifestavam por meio de confrarias ou irmandades, procissões, romarias e tradições. A segunda parte dá ênfase ao conjunto retabulístico de Santa Maria, abordando questões como: a localização, encomenda e patrocínio, usos e funções, iconografia, materiais e técnicas, tipologias e modelos compositivos, periodização, a complementaridade das artes e produção artística. A terceira e última parte restringe-se ao catálogo dos retábulos recenseados. De um total de vinte e sete retábulos, fez-se ficha de inventário de nove, excluindo-se os revivalistas pelo facto de corresponderem a um período de declínio a nível produtivo.The principal purpose of the presente dissertation, under the theme “Reredoses of Island of Santa Maria”, is to study and analyze one of the most notable artistic manifestations during the Dictatorship. This study aims, above all, at contributing to the promotion and safeguard of this cultural heritage through the elaboration of an monograph. The study is divided in to three sections. The first one is intented to characterize the historical evolution of the presente Island of Santa Maria, by pointing out the religious aspect, presenting the location geographical the mothers churches or parishes, churches, hermitages and one franciscan convent that building in centuries 16 th, 17 th and 18 th, and they have reredoses with big value patrimonial. Still here, have been enhanced the expression and religious life of the mariense society including religious festivies and confraternities, processions, pilgrimages and traditions. The second part emphasizes the set of reredoses existing in Island of Santa Maria, answering questions such as: the location, commissioned it and funding, uses and functions, iconography, techniques and materials, typologies and periods, complexity the arts and artistic production. The third and last section is restricted to the catalogue of the registered reredoses. Of a total of twenty-seven reredoses, one Inventory File was done for each of nine, excluding the revivalists because they correspond to a period of production declin
