The 1990 Edition of NFPA 407, Standard on Aircraft Fuel Servicing, deleted the requirement for grounding during aircraft fueling and tank truck loadings. This change has caused a great deal of concern in the industry since it impacts not only refueling operations, but also airport construction and maintenance. In order to resolve the more controversial aspects of this change, the Coordinating Research Council (CRC) Electrical Discharges Liaison Group conducted a series of tests at Denver Stapleton Airport, 30 October-8 November 1991. This test program culminated in a demonstration of a simulated aircraft refueling operation conducted with and without the use of ground wires. The demonstration was witnessed by representatives from the FAA, the airline, air cargo and aircraft fueling industries, airport design industry and the Denver Fire Department. The program did not address grounding requirements for purposes other than refueling.

Synthesizes the empirical literature on organizationalstructuring to answer the question of how organizations structure themselves --how they resolve needed coordination and division of labor. Organizationalstructuring is defined as the sum total of the ways in which an organizationdivides and coordinates its labor into distinct tasks. Further analysis of theresearch literature is neededin order to builda conceptualframework that will fill in the significant gap left by not connecting adescription of structure to its context: how an organization actuallyfunctions. The results of the synthesis are five basic configurations (the SimpleStructure, the Machine Bureaucracy, the Professional Bureau...
In the summer of 1803, Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on a journey to establish an American presence in a land of unqualified natural resources and riches. Is it fitting that, on the 200th anniversary of that expedition, the United States, together with international partners, should embark on another journey of exploration in a vastly more extensive region of remarkable potential for discovery. Although the oceans cover more than 70 percent of our planet's surface, much of the ocean has been investigated in only a cursory sense, and many areas have not been investigated at all. Exploration of the Seas assesses the feasibility and potential value of implementing a m...
