The Bill Murff Story
Once in a while someone comes along who raises the bar in some field of endeavor in his or her own unique way, displaying a drive to achieve the noblest aspects of the American Dream. Bill Murff is such a person. In The Bill Murff Story, J. M. Murff tells the story of how his brother rose from poverty to become the largest landholder in Harris County, Texas, and founder of Murff Turf Farms, Inc. His in-depth study of his brother's remarkable life and business philosophy reveals Bill's five-stage, fifteen-step strategy for achieving the American dream. This biography shares the formula for success that Bill followed in becoming a noted ecclesiastical, business, and community leader, as well a...
Freedom at Work
A new industrial miracle is needed in the United States, not unlike the one precipitated by the crisis of World War II. Our current crisis of global competition with lower-paying foreign jobs, coupled with the decline in the quality of education in America threatens our way of life and our American Dream. Freedom at Work introduces new paradigms that can spark this miracle. From replacing the archaic business paradigms that still dominate US businesses to the crisis in morality and values crippling the nation, author J. M. Murff addresses every facet of the challenge facing America. He also explains the need to reinvent business education and the revolution in innovation that the United Stat...
Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics II
Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics II comprises the Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics (ISFOG), organised by the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems (COFS) and held at the University of Western Australia (UWA), Perth from 8 10 November 2010. The volume addresses current and emerging challenges
Offshore Site Investigation and Foundation Behaviour
Two main areas of offshore activity are addressed in this book: Site investigation on assessment; and Applications and foundation engineering. The 37 contributions from a wide ranging group of international experts, are resulting from the Offshore Site Investigation and Foundation Behaviour Conference, London, U.K., September 1992. Adequate determination of site conditions can only be achieved by the integrated approach of using geological, geophysical and geotechnical data. Developments in data acquisition techniques are illustrated through case histories in the section on Geotechnical Sampling and Testing. In the section on Advanced Interpretation Techniques and Integrated Interpretations ...
Geomechanics of Marine Anchors
This book provides a comprehensive guide for the analysis and design of anchor systems used for mooring offshore floating structures. Much of the experience is based on applications toward the offshore oil and gas industry, but the substantial potential for offshore renewable energy systems is addressed. The major types of anchors are described with respect to their basic design concept, advantages and limitations, appropriate framework for analysis, and observed performance. This book addresses all aspects of anchor behaviour related to anchor design including the installation performance, load capacity, deformation, and structural integrity of the anchor itself. Coverage is also provided o...
Offshore Geotechnical Engineering
Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last thirty years, driven partly by the scale of the foundation and anchoring elements used offshore, and partly by fundamental differences in construction and installation techniques. As a consequence offshore geotechnical engineering has grown as a speciality. The structure of Offshore Geotechnical Engineering follows a pattern that mimics the flow of a typical offshore project. In the early chapters it provides a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques and interpretation of soil behaviour. It proceeds to cover geotechnical design of piled foundations, shallow foundations and anchoring systems. Three topics are then covered which require a more multi-disciplinary approach: the design of mobile drilling rigs, pipelines and geohazards. This book serves as a framework for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and will appeal to professional engineers specialising in the offshore industry.
Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics
This book addresses current and emerging challenges facing those working in offshore construction, design and research. Keynote papers from leading industry practitioners and academics provide a comprehensive overview of central topics covering deepwater anchoring, pipelines, foundation solutions for offshore wind turbines, site investigation, geoh
Annual Report of the Commissioner of Patents
Prior to 1862, when the Department of Agriculture was established, the report on agriculture was prepared and published by the Commissioner of Patents, and forms volume or part of volume, of his annual reports, the first being that of 1840. Cf. Checklist of public documents ... Washington, 1895, p. 148.
