the bp magazine is an international magazine of the bp  (british petroleum) group, which is based in the united kingdom.  it reports from its home country.  it is a quarterly publication.

to trace out the history of the bp group, it was a merger between bp with amoco and arco (both of which were giants in the u.s. energy industry), and also with sohio.  all under the one or same banner, started or began their journey as part of john d. rockefeller’s standard oil trust in the late 19th century.  today, 40% of the present bp’s staff, business, profits and achievements are from the u.s.

i deem it relevant to furnish the full contact address of the group:  bp p.l.c., chertsey road, sunbury – on – thames, middlesex, tw 16 7 ln, u.k.  their web address is : www.bp.com/bpmagazine.  while the managing editor is barbara peen whose mail id is : peenb@bp.com, the editor is lisa davison whose mail id, being lisa.davison@uk.bp.com. 

it deserves mention that the bp magazine was printed using vegetable based printing inks and low alcohol damping on press.  the paper was manufactured using 50% de-inked post consumer waste fibre and 50% virgin fibre pulp sourced from well managed forests at a mill accredited for emas, iso14001 and fsc.

for more than 50 years, amoco and arco were stalwarts of the u.s. and global (too) oil and gas arena/field.  now they became part of bp and their talent for refining, technical innovation and retailing has helped create a global energy giant, which is rich in experience.

the bp has five major refineries in the u.s. – one in carson, california, second in cherry point, washington, third in texas city, texas, fourth in toledo, ohio and the last and fifth in whiting, indiana.  al the five play a vital role in supplying local markets.

in 1968, arco made the first discovery at the massive pradhoe bay, the larges oilfield in alaska, u.s.  bp tapped its share of the reservoir and in the eight years before oil flowed, the two companies worked together to assure the u.s. government that environmental risks had been addressed.  in fact, arco tanker was named after prudhoe bay, i.e., arco prudhoe bay.

peter sutherland has chaired the bp’s board for the past 12 years including the company’s centennial year. 

it is a rare phenomenon that the magazine’s latest/current and third (3rd) issue contains the image of the original london bridge, captured by photographer marc morrison.  built in 1831, the bridge was put up for sale by the british government in 1962, as it could no longer handle the flow of traffic across the river thames.  purchased by robert mc culloch – founder of lake havana city in arizona, u.s. – for usd 2.4 million ($ 2.4 million), the bridge was subsequently dismantled and each stone was numbered.  they were then trucked to lake havana city, where reconstruction began in september, 1968.

bp’s flat ridge wind farm in barber county, kansas, u.s., is one of several major investments the company is making in wind energy in the u.s.  as all of us know, wind mill concept falls under the category of non-conventional energy sources, which is quite opposite to the conventional method or form adopted by the famous enron corporation, to generate power/electricity .

as far as the top management of bp is concerned, carl-henric svanberg, who is currently chief executive officer of the swedish telecommunications company, ericsson, is elected to replace peter sutherland,  as bp’s chairman.  svanberg is scheduled to join the bp board as chairman-designated and a non-executive director on 1st september, 2009.

even though we can access bp magazine through net and soft copy (if requested), the print version or hard copy also may be obtained by us, if we prefer.

to say about the contributors to the magazine, first joshua drake began photographing for bp at the texas city refinery in 2006.  he now does freelance editorial and documentary work from his home in charleston, south carolina.  second, allison conte writes for bp in between engagements as a leadership and organisational change consultant.  she lives and works in cleveland, ohio, and boulder, cororado, u.s.

third, ian whadcock has worked for over twenty (20) years as an illustrator and educator in the field of graphic art and illustration.  he is a recipient of three gold and two silver awards from the association of illustrators.

as solar energy is gaining momentum, bp group is partnering with the department of energy  (u.s.) and arizona state university, u.s., to lower costs and improve solar performance.

further since energy efficiency is a hidden resource, the bp group created the bp energy lab to help each of us reduce energy usage and carbon emissions. 

hence we all may go through the bp magazine either on the web or as a hard copy and try to participate in the group’s activities, in any way, which is possible for us.  if we say that the economy of the u.s. is determined and driven by the bp group, it will not be an exaggeration.  let us take a cue from them and follow their footprints and milestones.  their path and success story must be emulated by all of us.  we are here to grow, achieve and perform.  let us prove ourselves by our calibre, capacity, ability, efficiency, values and steps in the right direction.

The 2007-2012 Outlook For Magazines In India $609 This study covers the latent demand outlook for magazines across the states, union territories and cities of India. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across over 5,100 cities in India. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of its state or union territory and of India as a whole is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-`-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state or union territory and city, latent demand estimates are created for magazines. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

History of Men’s Magazines: Volume 3 $43 DIVThe definitive annotated and illustrated history of girlie periodicals (1958-1967) Volume III begins with an explosion of new American men’s magazines following the redefinition of US obscenity laws in the late fifties. We examine the enormous impact of Playboy, not only on American titles, but on magazines worldwide. This is the decade when France finally declines as a great force in magazine production; England starts to show her pervy side; Argentina embraces burlesque; and Germany once again blends political activism with nudity. By 1965 even Australia has a booming men’s magazine industry. The volume ends with a look at those great back-of-the-magazine ads for party pills and the first inflatable ?dates?. The History of Men’s Magazines, Volume III contains over 400 full color pages of vintage covers and interiors and a well-researched text profiling quirky publishers and artists, individual magazines, and the place of it all in the Swinging Sixties culture./div

History of Men’s Magazines: Volume 4 $38.72 DIVThe definitive annotated and illustrated history of girlie periodicals (1958-1967) Volume IV concentrates on the emergence of California’s specialty magazine industry and how it spawned the state’s multi-billion dollar sex industry of today, but also includes fetish master Irving Klaw, the specialty magazines of England, and concludes with Sweden and Denmark’s emergence as the new powers in European publishing. Together with Volume III, Volume IV gives a complete picture of this fascinating decade of rapid social change, but also stands on its own, covering a distinctly different, more risqu? side of 1960s men’s magazine publishing. Volume IV contains over 400 full color pages of magazine covers and interiors with well-researched text profiling important publishers and artists, individual magazines, and specialty magazine categories.

The 2007-2012 Outlook For Home Magazines In Japan $609 This study covers the latent demand outlook for home magazines across the prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of its prefecture and of Japan is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-`-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each prefecture and city, latent demand estimates are created for home magazines. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

The 2007-2012 Outlook For Magazines In Greater China $609 This study covers the latent demand outlook for magazines across the regions of Greater China, including provinces, autonomous regions (Guangxi, Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Xizang – Tibet), municipalities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and Taiwan (all hereafter referred to as regions). Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,100 cities in Greater China. For each major city in question, the percent share the city is of the region and of Greater China is reported. Each major city is defined as an area of economic population, as opposed to the demographic population within a legal geographic boundary. For many cities, the economic population is much larger that the population within the city limits; this is especially true for the cities of the Western regions. For the coastal regions, cities which are close to other major cities or which represent, by themselves, a high percent of the regional population, actual city-level population is closer to the economic population (e.g. in Beijing). Based on this economic definition of population, comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a citys marketing and distribution value vis-`-vis others. This exercise is quite useful for persons setting up distribution centers or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each region and city of influence, latent demand estimates are created for magazines. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

Ultraviolet Radiation in the Solar System $130 pUV radiation is an important part in the electromagnetic spectrum since the energy of the photons is great enough to produce important chemical reactions in the atmospheres of planets and satellites of our Solar System, thereby affecting the transmission of this radiation to the ground and its physical properties. Scientists have used different techniques (balloons and rockets) to access to the information contained in this radiation, but the pioneering of this new frontier has not been free of dangers.pThe Sun is our main source of UV radiation and its description occupies the first two chapters of the book. The Earth is the only known location where life exists in a planetary system and therefore where the interaction of living organism with UV radiation can be tested through different epochs and on distinct species. The development of the human technology has affected the natural shield of ozone that protects complex lifeforms against damaging UV irradiation. The formation of the ozone hole and its consequences are described, together with the possible contribution of UV radiation to recent climate changes. Finally, we will discuss the the potential role of ultraviolet light in the development of life on bodies such as Mars, Europa and Titan.pThe Solar System is not isolated; other external sources can contribute to the enhancement of the UV radiation in our environment.

Solar Radiation and Daylight Models $85.44 The cost of operating a building far exceeds the cost of constructing it, and yet until recently little attention was paid to the impact of solar radiation on the costs of heating, cooling and ventilation. And now that there has been a surge in interest in energy efficiency and solar design, architects and designers need a practical guide to the modelling and application of solar energy data. There are many different models and techniques available for calculating the distribution of solar radiation on and in buildings, and these algorithms vary considerably in scope, accuracy and complexity. This book demonstrates which of these predictive tools gives the best results in different circumstances, including explaining which models can be best used in different parts of the world. The author has had over twenty-five years of experience of dealing with solar energy data from four continents and has used that experience in this book to show the development not just of knowledge but also the growing sophistication of the models available to apply it. *Based on many years of first-hand experience with solar data*Different models demonstrated and evaluated*Calculations that can be used anywhere in the world

Modeling Solar Radiation at the Earth’s Surface: Recent Advances $116 pSolar radiation data is important for a wide range of applications, e.g. in engineering, agriculture, health sector, and in many fields of the natural sciences. A few examples showing the diversity of applications may include: architecture and building design e.g. air conditioning and cooling systems; solar heating system design and use; solar power generation; weather and climate prediction models; evaporation and irrigation; calculation of water requirements for crops; monitoring plant growth and disease control; skin cancer research.pSolar radiation data must be provided in a variety of forms to suit these applications. The radiation reaching the upper atmosphere of the Earth is a quantity rather constant in time. But the radiation reaching some point on Earth surface is random in nature. The main cause is the fact that various gases within the atmosphere absorb solar radiation at different wavelengths, and clouds and dust also affect it.pThere are two ways to obtaining solar radiation data at ground level: by measurement and by modelling. The book will facilitate the calculation of solar radiation required by engineers, designers and scientists and, as a result, will increase the access to needed solar radiation data.

Atmospheric Radiation $195.25 A complete revision of Goody’s classic 1964 work, this volume offers a systematic discussion of atmospheric radiation processes that today are at the center of worldwide study and concern. It deals with the ways in which incident solar radiation is transformed into scattered and thermal radiation, and the thermodynamic consequences for the Earth’s gaseous envelope, identifying aspects of the interaction between radiation and atmospheric motions as the central theme for atmospheric radiation studies. As a complete treatment of physical and mathematical foundations, the text assumes no prior knowledge of atmospheric physics. The theoretical discussion is systematic, and can therefore be applied with minor extension to any planetary atmosphere.

Radiation and Climate $104.6 Radiation theory and measurements are at the core of the climate change debate. This new book describes in detail the basic physics used in radiative transfer codes that are a key part of climate prediction models. The basic principles are extended to the atmospheres of the Earth and the other planets, illustrating the greenhouse effect and other radiation-based phenomena at work. Several chapters deal with the techniques and measurements for monitoring the Earth’s radiation budget and thus tracking global change and its effects. Remote sensing instruments on satellite and the theory of remote sensing are also covered. The book is the first comprehensive new publication on atmospheric radiation in more than a decade, and the first to link the theoretical and experimental aspects of the subject to the contemporary climate problem.brChapter 1.

Radiation Acoustics $149.65 Radiation acoustics is a developing field lying at the intersection of acoustics, high-energy physics, nuclear physics, and condensed matter physics. Radiation Acoustics is among the first books to address this promising field of study, and the first to collect all of the most significant results achieved since research in this area began in earnest in the 1970s.<BR<BRThe book begins by reviewing the data on elementary particles, absorption of penetrating radiation in a substance, and the mechanisms of acoustic radiation excitation. The next seven chapters present a theoretical treatment of thermoradiation sound generation in condensed media under the action of modulated penetrating radiation and radiation pulses. The author explores particular features of the acoustic fields of moving thermoradiation sound sources, sound excitation by single high-energy particles, and the efficiency and optimal conditions of thermoradiation sound generation. Experimental results follow the theoretical discussions, and these clearly demonstrate the validity of the thermoradiation theory. The book concludes with discussions on applications, including the large-scale DUMAND and GENIUS projects now on the horizon.<BR<BRRadiation acoustics holds enormous potential for applications in areas such as microelectronics, geophysics, and astrophysics. This book offers a unique opportunity to benefit from the approach and extensive experience of author Leonid N. Lyamshev, who in this, his last book, shows how he left an indelible mark on the world of acoustics.

The Solar Tachocline[eBook] $103.21 PHelioseismology has enabled us to probe the internal structure and dynamics of the Sun, including how its rotation varies in the solar interior. The unexpected discovery of an abrupt transition – the tachocline – between the differentially rotating convection zone and the uniformly rotating radiative interior has generated considerable interest and raised many fundamental issues. This volume contains invited reviews from distinguished speakers at the first meeting devoted to the tachocline, held at the Isaac Newton Institute. It provides the only comprehensive account of the current understanding of the properties and dynamics of the tachocline, including both observational results and major theoretical issues, involving both hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic behaviour. The Solar Tachocline is a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students in astrophysics, heliospheric physics and geophysics, and the dynamics of fluids and plasmas.

Solar Observing Techniques $34.94 The Sun is the closest star to Earth, and the only one we can observe in any sort of detail. As such it is a fascinating field of study, and one that is well-suited to amateur astronomers – the Sun is close enough to need little magnification. It also has the practical advantage, unlike every other astronomical object, of being visible in the daytime!brDuring solar eclipses, there are momentary chances to observe and photograph some spectacular and scientifcally interesting sights.brStudying the Sun nonetheless needs specialist knowledge. Safety is paramount, as without the right precautions the heat and light of the Sun would instantly blind the observer. But given the right techniques, the Sun is a rewarding subject for amateur astronomers: in this book, Professor Chris Kitchin provides all the information needed for safe solar observing.From the reviews:pThis book is part of a series aimed at the newcomer to astronomy.

Sun, Weather, and Climate $31.95 This book introduces the general field of Sun-weather/climate relationships, that is, apparent weather and climate responses to solar activity, and provides theoretical and experimental suggestions for further research to identify and investigate the unknown causal mechanisms. It is directed to researchers active in the atmospheric and space sciences who wish to expand their background for meeting the challenge of this newly emerging field and to students who desire a general background in the several disciplinary areas of the field. In the 200-year history of Sun-weather studies, a large body of information has accumulated. Even though the reported results have sometimes been confused, disjointed, and contradictory, there has emerged a growing belief that there are connections between changes on the Sun and changes in the lower atmosphere. There is, however, a deplorable lack of acceptable physical mechanisms to explain those probable connections, and this has prevented widespread acceptance of the reality of solar activity effects on the weather and climate. The discovery of viable mechanisms will strengthen the scientific basis of Sun-weather relationships and may lead to improved predictions of weather and climate. It is obvious that improved predictions would have a profound impact on several crucial societal problems, especially in the areas of global food production and utilization of solar energy for man’s needs. This book reviews the correlations between solar activity and weather and climate reported in historical and contemporary literature, addresses the physical linking mechanisms, and suggests experimental concepts for future investigations of such mechanisms. It is our intention to fill a gap in the literature by combining a review of the nature and quality of existing correlations with the basic physics underlying the various scientific disciplines required to pursue studies of physical linking mechanisms.

The Fortune Sellers: The Big Business of Selling and Buying Predictions $30.09 The Fortune Sellers contains in-depth explorations of the seven most prevalent forecasting professions today – meteorology, economics, investments, technology assessment, demography, futurology, and organizational planning. As Sherden uncovers their historical roots and traces their track records, he deftly reveals just how accurate – or inaccurate – their predictions really are. Fascinating historical facts, scores of actual examples, and a wealth of eye-opening statistics illuminate the difference between reliable real-world information and spurious guesswork. In the Fortune Sellers, you’ll discover: how anyone who is counting on a weather forecast more than a day or two in advance might just as well flip a coin; how economics earned its nickname – the dismal science – and why it sticks; how profits from prediction work on Wall Street; how academia, business, and the media feed our fascination with science fact and fiction and future technology; how futurists – predictors of societal change – use the infirm foundations of social science to predict everything from utopia to techno-totalitarianism; and how prognosticators failed to predict many milestone events, including the stock market crash of 1929, the recession of the 1980s, and the fall of East Berlin.

Solar and Space Weather Radiophysics: Current Status and Future Develo $144 pThe book explores what can be learned about the Sun and interplanetary space using present-day and future radio observations and techniques.

For many reasons its becoming very important that which fuel would be leading the world in near future. The question is which alternative fuel will dominate the future whether it would be electric or solar? With today’s rising population and excessive use of fuel we have to think for the better alternative fuel in the coming future.

In United state; people are demanding for the alternative fuel instead of gasoline fuel. They have reasons for this change in their way of thinking due to various reasons. One of the major reason is world is going towards the global warming and alternative fuel could be the better option to fight with it. The cost of gasoline is increasing day by day and it would be unpredictable in near future. The traveling though automobiles are becoming expensive due to these reasons. The alternative fuel suggested by the scientist has many advantages over the gasoline and would give freedom from the dependence on fossil fuels.

While choosing the alternative fuel you are saving the environment at the same time, you are saving money also. The alternative fuels vehicles are one of the best invention of scientist towards the saving the environment. These vehicles don’t run on gasoline and doesn’t rely on petrol as hybrid cars.

Hybrid cars are those cars which use both gasoline and electricity to run on roads. This car work with the help of internal combustion engine and battery back up for the propulsion power.

solar cars are those types of cars which use solar panels to capture the energy from the sun. This doesn’t require ant type of fuel like gasoline or electricity. These covert the solar energy into electric energy and stores in the battery which serves the purpose of gas tank in the combustion of car.

If you look towards electric cars which works on electricity is also good alternative fuel for the future. They run on electricity so they are best for the environment as it doesn’t produce pollution. The amount of electricity required can be controlled by the driver. The electricity required by the electric car can be obtained from other sources like solar, wind or water. These cars are also expensive than other usual cars. It needs prior planning fro the travel as it needs to be charged for three to four hours before traveling.

Both are the best alternatives sources of fuel soon as, both can cut down the cost of gasoline and protect the environment from pollution.

In what has to be the best news of the new century for renewable energy sources like solar power, wind and biofuels, the UN came out with a new report on June 4 showing that, for the first time in history, investment in renewable energies topped fossil fuel investment, based on data taken from 2008. This is surprising in view of the fact that the abysmal economy of 2008 saw stocks in general running for cover and renewable energy stocks taking double-digit losses in some cases. In fact, according to a report by the WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation Index, which tracks the ups and downs of 88 clean energy stocks worldwide, “green” energy took a dive from January to November of 2008 of more than 70 percent.

Fortunately, President Barack Obama’s focus on renewable energy technologies, and recent incentives like the Department of Energy offering of $107.6 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for improved solar technologies, sent renewable stocks up again in 2009, recovering 45 percent of their value, according to New Energy Finance, which drew up the report for the UN.

On hearing the good news, Achin Steiner, the executive director of the UN’s Environment Programme, said the figures are a “clear indication” that renewable energy technologies have reached that tipping point where they become as important as, or more important than, coal, oil and gas.

The biggest margins of investment came from developing countries like China and India, but smaller countries like Kenya and Angola also saw their fair share of gains.

The biggest winners were solar (at $33.5 billion) and wind (at about $52 billion), with biofuels taking a backseat at about $17 billion as a result of their being implicated, in 2007 and 2008, in global and national food-price hikes.

Europe was the biggest gainer, with $50 billion invested in projects across five countries (Spain, Germany, the UK, France and Denmark), while the U.S. fell 8 percent from its huge renewable energy gains of 2007, which saw solar stocks jumping to more than 150 percent of their pre-recessionary value.

To the United States credit, however, a report earlier in the week showed American laboratories leading the world in cutting-edge renewable energy technologies and environmental research.

The study focused on 3,000 research institutions and universities around the world, and saw NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland leading in solar cell technology from 2003 to 2007.

Other, less surprising, winners included Harvard, Caltech, and the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Colorado. A surprising winner in the category of fuel cells was Penn State.

In all, nine U.S. laboratories or schools placed among the global top 25. But James Pringle of Thomson Reuters warned that these kinds of analyses can be misleading, and added that no single publication has the final word on which entities have displayed the greatest competence in their fields.
