Effect of the multilateral well configuration on the critical production drawdown pressure in loose sandstone reservoirs

The junction stability of multilateral well at different geometry and orientations in loose sand reservoir is very poor.Even though the production drawdown pressure is lower than 1 MPa,junctions collapse and block laterals.Consequently,there is a limited contribution of laterals to productivity.In order to enhance the stability of the multilateral well and increase the critical drawdown pressure,special treatment should be enforced to the junctions.In the normal fault in-situ stress field,regardless of the junctions,the main bore direction should be extended along with the in-situ minimum horizontal principle stress as close as possible.Depth and width of failure area are severely influenced by the build-up rate of laterals.The relationship between the increase of build-up rate and reduction of junction plastic failure depth is found to follow the power function in the same production drawdown pressure.Provided the length and included angle of multilateral well are given,higher build-up rate is,the stability of multilateral well is much better.Another key factor of multilateral well stability is the interval between laterals.Interference could be ignored when interval is larger than 40m if laterals arranged on different sides,otherwise,the interval should be larger than 45m.In open hole or screen pipe completion,junction plastic failure depth and sanding swept area increase in function of exponent along with the growth of production drawdown pressure.
A two-centre, open-label, randomised study of ovulation inhibition with three transdermal contraceptive patches, each containing different amounts of ethinyl estradiol and gestodene in healthy, young women

Here we report the findings of a two-centre, open-label, randomised, Phase IIa study designed to investigate whether an ethinyl estradiol (EE)/gestodene (GSD) patch that has been developed (referred to herein as the 'EE/GSD patch') reliably inhibits ovulation in comparison with patches delivering lower doses of these hormones. The study rationale was to provide justification of the doses of EE and GSD selected for the EE/GSD patch. Healthy women, aged 18-35 years, were randomised to receive treatment with either the EE/GSD patch, a 'reduced-GSD patch' (delivering similar amounts of EE and approximately half the amount of GSD) or a 'reduced-EE/GSD patch' (delivering half the amount of EE and GSD). Treatment was administered for three 28-day cycles (three × 7 patch-wearing days, plus a 7-day patch-free interval). The primary pharmacodynamic variable was the percentage of women with ovulation in at least one of Cycles 2 and/or 3, as indicated by Hoogland score. Pharmacokinetic parameters for EE and GSD were also measured. Results indicated that the EE/GSD patch effectively suppressed ovulation, while patches delivering lower doses of EE and GSD were less effective for this purpose. All three patches showed comparable tolerability.

FEMUR COMPONENT FOR A HIP ENDOPROSTHESIS

The invention relates to a femur component for a hip endoprosthesis which comprises A) a distal end designed to be introduced into the medullary space of the femur (1); B) a proximal shoulder part (2) with a medially oriented neck (3) to which a spherical head can be attached; C) a shank part (4), situated between the shoulder part (2) and the end (1), which narrows wedge-like towards the end (1), has a longitudinal axis (5), a length L and a half wedge angle beta /2 measured in the symmetry plane (10) of the femur component; and D) a slit (6) arranged in the distal region (8) of the shank part (4) which is open towards the end (1). The slit (6) has a length between 0.21 L and 0.50 L and an opening angle alpha of between 1 DEG and 4 DEG . The fact that the femur component is fixed in the medullary space by means of the slit (6) has the advantage that possible microscopic tilting movements of the shank implanted in the medullary cavity remain minimal and the desired primary stabilization is achieved.
Modeling and simulation of electrical discharge machining

Electrical discharge machining involves complex physical processes occurring simultaneously, which lead to the removal of material from both electrodes. During the discharge, material melts, evaporates and is ejected when the plasma channel collapses. Modeling the erosion process can help to better interpret and predict results, which are otherwise difficult to understand. In this work, the material removal rate is predicted based on the simulation of single discharges. It was found that a better correlation with experimental results is achieved when the latent heats of fusion and evaporation are taken into consideration, as well as temperature-dependent thermo-physical properties of the workpiece.
Evaluating Sales Personnel: An Attribution Theory Perspective

Using attribution theory, this study examines the influence internal (salesperson) and external (situation) information has on sales managers' causal attributions of and reactions to a salesperson's failure to close a sale. The findings of the investigation suggest that sales managers were more likely to make internal attributions for failure when the salesperson had a poor, rather than a good, work history and external attributions when the salesperson had a good, rather than a poor, work history. In addition, sales managers were more likely to make external attributions for failure when the salesperson faced a high, rather than a low, task difficulty and internal attributions when the salesperson faced a low, rather than a high, task difficulty. Finally, sales managers responded to the failure by directing their attention at the salesperson or the situation.
Visualize to Valorize – For a better utilisation of hidden archaeological heritage in Central Europe

Cultural heritage is at the heart of what it means to be European and it is being discovered by both governments and citizens as a means of improving economic performance, people’s lives and living environments. Indeed archaeological (arch.) heritage is also now widely appreciated as an essential part of Europe’s underlying socio-economic, cultural and natural capital. This is a significant change in focus as the protection of arch. findings and sites have traditionally been regarded as costs to society. Central Europe has a broad diversity of arch. heritage partly excellently developed and utilized. However, a broad share of this heritage - even of international importance - is very often hardly visible and tangible for the public and faces increasing menaces. In addition, inherent potentials for regional development lie idle and are waiting to become unveiled. But only archaeology, as prime owner of knowledge and information, may introduce those hidden pearls for economic use and implementation. Hence, Virtual Arch will contribute to a sustainable use and protection of non-visible and little known archaeological heritage underground or submerged by increasing the capacities of public actors in the field of archaeological heritage protection on presentation by introducing innovative visualization approaches and methods such as trend-setting ICT&Virtual Reality (VR) tools. This introduces hidden arch. heritage as stimulant for regional growth and employment in new industries. Efforts to address valorization of invisible arch. heritage via visualization cannot be taken by countries and regions in isolation if they are to be effective. Participating regions are facing same challenges and share same aims and objectives. However, local framework conditions, methods and techniques applied are still different. Transnational cooperation will support the development of respective solutions by development of standard procedures, common tools and knowledge exchange.
Keeping the euro at any cost? Explaining attitudes toward the euro-austerity trade-off in Greece

Despite years of crisis, the euro has enjoyed strong popular support across the Eurozone periphery. In light of the high costs of internal devaluation strategies, this begs the question why the public has remained in favor of the common currency. In this paper, we propose a theoretical mechanism that accounts for both voters’ pocketbook preferences and their sociotropic assessments over the noisy trade-offs associated with the outcomes of euro membership and euro exit. Using original survey data from three consecutive survey waves in Greece (conducted in July, September, and December 2015 respectively), we analyze the attitudes of Greek voters toward the euro in an environment of acute uncertainty, austerity, high unemployment, and economic recession. First, we juxtapose our uncertainty mechanism of popular euro attitudes against other explanations put forward in the literature and find strong support for our argument. Second, we conduct a survey experiment to tap into attitudes toward the euro-austerity trade-off and find that as uncertainty over policy outcomes diminishes, framing effects abate in significance, especially among those who voted No in the July 2015 referendum. Finally, we derive distinct sets of euro preferences for different “vulnerability profiles”. Over time, as the trade-offs of euro membership become more pronounced, we find a marked fall in euro support between July and December 2015.

Commercial-Scale graphene electronic devices fab

Innovative graphene-based electronic devices have been studied, demonstrated and prototyped
during the Graphene FET Flagship project
Graphene Electronic Devices include GFETs (Graphene Field-Effect Transistors) that are
multipurpose chips that can be used in advanced photonics (photosensors, x-ray sensors, optical
communications) and sensors (chemical sensors, biosensors, hall sensors, pressure sensors)
among other applications
Currently, GFET devices are manually produced in a labour intensive, small scale (individual
prototypes), small wafer size (<50mm) and very low production yield (high % of device failure)
The research community and industry have a great interest in these devices
The current Semiconductor manufacturers (Fabs) are focused in very large volume markets (+ 1
million units) so there is an opportunity for a Graphene Fab (GFAB) that produces GFETs according
to customer’s specifications
The objective of this project is to assess the feasibility of launching a new “Graphene Electronic
Devices Fab” (GFAB) business that will offer Graphene Electronic Device fabrication to the
industry and research centres
Specially, the so called GFETs (Graphene Field Effect Transistors) have been developed during the
FET Graphene Flagship project. GFETs are a special type of Graphene Electronic Device that offer
higher performance for a wide range of applications
The Graphene Electronic Devices must be produced under certified cleanroom manufacturing
environment (ISO verified) using industry standard wafer sizes (150mm, 200mm and/or 300mm)
offering a reliable, cost-competitive, fast and high yield product (ideally +95% yield).
A complete supply chain must be defined by the incorporation of partners in the materials producers,
IC (integrated circuits) design, semiconductor fabs, and equipment manufacturers sectors.
This business will have an outstanding impact in the photonics and sensors industries and will
accelerate the adoption of Graphene technology in other applica
integrated offer outdoor quality

"This project is part of the plan MITO" : The main objective of the project is to structure, promote and market an integrated and cross-border tourism offer in the ALCOTRA area, about the outdoor product; the common element will be the use of a shared governance model, with a quality of supply through the improvement of the skills of technicians and the reception system. The work plan includes the following activities: governance and administrative management of the project; Communication; structuring and qualifying the offer in the ALCOTRA territory (working groups, diagnostic and skills improvement actions, B2B meetings); development of a shared strategy for marketing and promoting the integrated outdoor tourism product (marketing plan, educational tour, networking, online promotion campaigns, journalist visits, etc.).

This plan involves 5 Regions and almost all the NUTS III’s eligible areas. Italian and French partners are fronting an important challenge: creating an international market of outdoor tourism in ALCOTRA’s space. From a touristic point of view, this territory includes two poles north-south really famous, which are attracting international tourism: the Mont Blanc and the French Riviera. The territory between these two others has a wonderful natural heritage and an unmatched variety of landscapes. Outdoor activities are developed yet, but some of them known only at a local level, and the ones open to European markets are especially related to ski and winter tourism. The analyse of these problems purposed by the Plan shows that the outdoor products of ALCOTRA’s space is lowly organized, visible and readable by public. The 4 projects composing the PITEM’s strategy use the following schema: creating conditions to harmonize information’s on outdoor offer and make them interoperable, qualify touristic products thanks to formation of operators, realise needed infrastructures, test utilisation solutions of natural spaces in a logic of environment supervision, capitalize service management experiences and the promotion on both sides of the border. The goal is to promote continuity, renewing and outdoor sports users satisfaction thorough a clearest, safer, offer contributing to touristic offer diversification and seasonal adjustment.
INTRAOCULAR DELIVERY DEVICES

Injection devices for delivering pharmaceutical compositions into the eye are described. Some devices include a resistance component for controllably deploying an injection needle through the eye wall. The resistance component may be disposed on the injector device, or on a portion of the injection device housing, or on a drug reservoir. Some devices may be removably attached to a drug reservoir, for example, through a luer connector. Other devices may comprise internal luer seal for securely connecting a drug conduit of the device to the luer cavity of a drug reservoir. Yet other devices may comprise a priming-enabling element to facilitate the drug priming of a shielded needle. Related methods and systems comprising the devices are also described.
Ai-Augmented, multiscale image-based diagnostics  of chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health problem, affecting 10% of the world population and projected to be the fifth major cause of death in 2040. CKD patients are one of the most complex and multi-morbid populations in internal medicine while at the same time having the least translational randomized clinical trials and limited treatment options. One of the major reasons for this is the lack of reproducible approaches specifically reflecting intrarenal pathological processes and disease activity. The overall goal of AIM.imaging.CKD is to specifically address this unmet need by developing, validating and integrating image-based diagnostics for CKD. The integration of broad interdisciplinary expertise will enable to develop a multiscale approach from nano- to micro- to macromorphological and molecular diagnostics. Specifically, the project will develop augmented full-spectrum ultrastructural (“nano”) and histological (“micro”) renal biopsy diagnostics, focusing on reproducible, quantitative nephropathological analyses and prediction of clinically relevant outcome parameters. The project will also explore macro-morphological and molecular imaging in CKD, focusing on translatable non-invasive approaches. The central feature will be the development of advanced, scalable and modular image analyses models utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine and deep learning. Using preclinical testing and clinical validation, the main emphasis will be on accelerated or, whenever possible, direct implementation into the clinical practice. The integration of the above-mentioned tools and technologies provides a comprehensive multiscale and multiplex approach for improved diagnostics of CKD patients and facilitate future randomized clinical trials. At each level, and even more so when integrated, the results are expected to augment and transform image-based diagnostics of kidney diseases, and thereby lead to improved patient management and outcome.
Liability of Foreignness in Fast-Expanding Markets: Evidence from Ghana

In this study, we sought to establish if the idea of liability of foreignness (LOF) also persists in the fast-expanding markets (FEMs) and whether there are certain firm characteristics that can mitigate or accentuate this effect. We utilize data from the World Bank enterprise surveys conducted in Ghana in 2007 and 2013. We operationalize liability as the probability that a firm suffered from a crime in the year under study. We also specify empirical probit and instrumental probit models with controls to answer the above research question. We find that there is LOF in fast-expanding markets, and this effect is robust to different specifications. Given that our liability is crime, we moderate the LOF effect with data on security expenditure. The results still show that even if firms increased their security expenditure, the LOF effect still persisted. The study makes a contribution to the international business literature by testing the LOF effect in a new unit of analysis and is also one of the earliest to operationalize a firm's liability in the form of crime it suffers in its operating environment. \textcopyright 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Benchmarking of FDM Machines through Part Quality Using IT Grades

The diffusion of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) was recently boosted by the expiration of the FDM patent and the subsequent worldwide development of low cost FDM machines by a huge number of small companies. In most of the cases, FDM machines are worth what they cost. Thus the performance of expensive industrial FDM systems is better than that of low cost machines, also known as 3D printers.

In this paper a benchmarking is carried out between a Dimension EliteTM by Stratasys and a 3D TouchTM by Bits from Bytes (BFB). The study and comparison is based on a reference part that was designed to fit into the building volume of most of low cost FDM machines. The part includes several classic geometries (planes, cylinders, spheres and cones) of different sizes to cover several ranges of basic sizes as defined by the ISO 286 standard. Geometric features appear both in the concave and convex shapes to account for all design possibilities. The proposed reference part allows to consider a higher number of features for each range of basic sizes with respect to other benchmarking models presented in the literature. Moreover the part does not require support structures for its production, allowing for manufacturing on 3D printers that come with a unique extruder. Replicas of the reference part are printed out of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) material with different layer thicknesses using the compared machines. After inspecting the replicas by means of a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), the dimensional accuracy of the compared FDM systems is reported through part quality using IT grades associated with the ISO basic sizes. GD&T values are also evaluated for some of the geometric features appearing on the reference part.
Exploring Geospatial Music Listening Patterns in Microblog Data

Microblogs are a steadily growing, valuable, albeit noisy, source of information on interests, preferences, and activities. As music plays an important role in many human lives we aim to leverage microblogs for music listening-related information. Based on this information we present approaches to estimate artist similarity, popularity, and local trends, as well as approaches to cluster artists with respect to additional tag information. Furthermore, we elaborate a novel geo-aware interaction approach that integrates these diverse pieces of information mined from music-related tweets. Including geospatial information at the level of tweets, we also present a web-based user interface to browse the “world of music” as seen by the “Twittersphere”.
