  • The River Steam Boat: a Ticking Time Bomb out of the Experience of The
    The River Steam Boat: A Ticking Time Bomb Out of the experience of the early years of the river steam boat, there emerged two architectures of steam-engine design and building. The first and for some years the predominant one was that provided by Boulton and Watt, with their low-pressure condensing steam engine. This was the architecture followed by Robert Fulton with his early success on the Hudson estuary. However, it was less than a decade after Fulton’s successful trip up the Hudson that steam engines based on designs using high pressure steam began to evolve. The result was largely to reshape the pattern of steamboat design and virtually eliminate the earlier low-pressure practices of Fulton, Boulton and Watt. The development of the high-pressure steam engine with its attendant steam boiler was governed almost entirely by practical considerations. The advantages of the simple, compact, low-cost high pressure engine over the low-pressure engine with its complicated condensing apparatus, greater size and weight, and heavy requirements of condensing water were clearly apparent and appropriate to American conditions. These conditions were (1) scarcity of capital and skilled labor, (2) scarcity of repair facilities and (3) limited scale of operation. All of these conditions, at one time or another, contributed to the fateful disasters that followed. Although explosions were by no means confined to boilers generating steam at high pressure, it was with this class of boiler that this type of operating hazard appeared in its most destructive and spectacular form. Every high-pressure boiler was in operation a storehouse of concentrated energy in the form of water and steam at high temperature confined under pressures ranging from 30 to 150 psi [i.e., pounds per square inch] and upward.

Hitachi Zosen has developed the EPOCH MARK n series which has a unique structure not found on conventional ship designs. Revolutionary in concept, the MARKII incorporates a unidirectional girder system combined with a complete double hull structure. While a ship's hull is customarily designed with a grillage of longitudinal and transverse members for strength, this system uses only longitudinal members in a double hull to provide sufficient strength. This unidirectional girder system results in unprecedented structural simplicity and completely flush surfaced cargo tank interior. MARKII product oil carriers provide unrivaled advantages in performances over more conventional designs. The EPOCH MARK n series is available in 40, 60 and 80 thousands dwt designs.

  • Riverboat Site Selection Lesley Johnson Ph.D
    Riverboat Site Selection Lesley Johnson Ph.D. Student William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration University of Nevada, Las Vegas and John Bowen, Ph.D. Associate Professor William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration University of Nevada, Las Vegas Abstract The riverboat casino is the most rapidly expanding segment of the gaming industry. Six states have already legalized riverboat/dockside gaming, and it is currently under review in at least 13 other states. The explosion of this gaming market is fueled by a combination of demand and supply side forces. Gaming, as a form of entertainment, is growing in popularity and acceptance. States experiencing hard economic times view riverboat gaming as a means to generate both non-tax receipts and tourism. Gaming companies seek to profit from this emerging market that has an apparently high demand and, initially, little competition. Competition, however, must continue at a level that allows a new entrant to gain a profitable share of the market. As competition in riverboat gaming continues to escalate, site selection will become an increasingly important factor in predicting the future success or failure of an operation. This paper looks at locational issues in Iowa and Illinois based on market and com­ petitive forces. A regression model, using financial data from the respective state's gam­ ing boards and demographic data from SCAN/US, was developed to relate the gross win and win per square foot (dependent variables) to the independent variable ofa population radius. The results were compared to a survey of gaming executives operating in the same states. Introduction Read My Lips -- No New Taxes.
