Canada has a similar organization for chemical transportation emergencies, called TEAP (Transportation Emergency Assistance Plan). It is operated as a public service by the Canadian Chemical Producer s Association through the cooperation and aid of the member companies who operate the Regional Response Centers (RRCs) throughout Canada. They are also available on a 24-hour basis. However, you need to call the center in the Canadian region where you are located.

A steering committee, chaired by the associate commissioner for compliance and composed of the associate commissioners, the bureau directors, the chief counsel, the director of the National Center for Toxicological Research, and the executive director for regional operations, directed the program. Four task forces—the Toxicology Laboratory Monitoring Task Force, the Investigator Sponsor Task Force,...

Solvent extraction addresses the need to remove nonrubber resinous components from the rubber product. Evaluated at the USDA Northern Regional Research Center (89), sequential extraction involves deresination with a polar organic solvent, followed by rubber removal with a nonpolar hydrocarbon solvent. In the USDA study, defoliated groimd shrub was extracted with acetone to remove resin. The deresinated shrub was then extracted with hexane at 60°C in a semibatch continuous coimtercurrent operation. An oilseed extractor was used at a shrub feed rate of 12 kg/h. Rubber recoveries were as high as 88%. The performance properties of the rubber product were not determined, however. 

The USNRC headquarters Operations Centre has developed a system which can receive and display plant post-accident information from power plant computers. Each commercial nuclear power plant is required to have an Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) which is a direct electronic transmission of selected plant parameters from the licensee s onsite computer system to the NRC Operations Center in the event of an emergency. Other system users include NRC regional offices and States within the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone upon the request of the States. The number of parameters for each site is variable but must include data points from four types of plant conditions reactor core and coolant system conditions reactor containment conditions radioactivity release rates ... 

Emergency operations center (EOC) physical location at which the coordination of information and resources to support incident management (on-scene operations) activities normally takes place an EOC may be a temporary facility or may be located in a more central or permanently established facility, perhaps at a higher level of organization within a jurisdiction, and may be organized by major functional disciplines (e.g fire, law enforcement, and medical services), by jurisdiction (e.g Federal, State, regional, tribal, city, county), or some combination thereof... 

Starbucks ran five regional distribution centers in the United States two were company-owned and the other three were operated by third-party logistics companies (3PL). It also operated two distribution centers in Europe and two in Asia, all of which were managed by 3PLs (Cooke 2010). In addition to coffee, these warehouses also handle other items required by Starbucks retail outlets, everything from furniture to cappuccino mix. 

As shown in Fig. 1, each manufacturer operates ten factories and six regional distribution centers and each retailer operates six distribution centers. 

A low Reynolds number indicates laminar flow and a paraboHc velocity profile of the type shown in Figure la. In this case, the velocity of flow in the center of the conduit is much greater than that near the wall. If the operating Reynolds number is increased, a transition point is reached (somewhere over Re = 2000) where the flow becomes turbulent and the velocity profile more evenly distributed over the interior of the conduit as shown in Figure lb. This tendency to a uniform fluid velocity profile continues as the pipe Reynolds number is increased further into the turbulent region.
