A computer implemented method for improving project risk management based on (a) a quantitative analysis of risks affecting activities, i.e., the root factors leading to cost and time overruns on an activity by activity basis, and (b) an optimization of the resources allocation to each activity in the project plan, is employed to maximize the probability of completing projects on time and within-budget. The method can be employed prior to proceeding with one or more projects, but is also advantageous in that it is adaptive in the sense that more information can be learned during the course of a project about the risk factors present in the project, and this information is used to enable dynamically re-allocating resources to ensure a better outcome given an updated risk profile. Preferably, a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) is used to capture how risk factors identified by project managers influence individual activity durations.

A process for treating bitumen froth with paraffinic solvent is provided which uses three stages of separation. Froth and a first solvent are directed to a first stage at a solvent / bitumen ratio for precipitating few or substantially no asphaltenes. A first stage underflow is directed to a second stage and a first stage overflow is directed to a third stage. A second stage underflow is directed to waste tailings and the second stage overflow joins the first stage overflow. A third stage underflow is recovered as an asphaltene by-product and a third stage overflow is recovered as a diluted bitumen product. At least a second solvent is added to one or both of the second or third stages for controlling a fraction of asphaltenes in the third stage underflow. Asphaltene loss to waste tailings is minimized and asphaltenes are now recovered as asphaltene by-product.

A networked data storage system includes a primary volume and a pointer-based virtual secondary volume. The secondary volume has B-tree checkpoints of the state of a primary filesystem of the primary volume. Intermediate syncpoints are declared between checkpoint checkpoints. The syncpoints are logical locations on the secondary volume where the B-tree is known to be in a consistent state. The frequency of syncpoints may be set by an administrator in units of blocks, i.e., a syncpoint to be taken every n blocks. Before performing a B-tree split, entire images of the leaves and parent node involved in the split are written to an intent log in a relatively fast transaction that may comprise a single I / O operation to contiguous memory. Movement of data between leaf nodes and changes to the parent nodes as a result of the split operation proceed asynchronously. In the event of a reboot before the split operation is complete, the intent log is used to complete the split transaction from the most recent syncpoint. When a new syncpoint is declared, the intent log and dirty leaves are flushed.
