Selective Feature Generation Method for Classification of Low-Dimensional Data
Authors: Choi Sang-Il , Choi Sang Tae , Yoo Haanju
Published: February 2018

We propose a method that generates input features to effectively classify low-dimensional data. To do this, we first generate high-order terms for the input features of the original low-dimensional data to form a candidate set of new input features. Then, the discrimination power of the candidate input features is quantitatively evaluated by calculating the ‘discrimination distance’ for each candidate feature. As a result, only candidates with a large amount of discriminative information are selected to create a new input feature vector, and the discriminant features that are to be used as input to the classifier are extracted from the new input feature vectors by using a subspace discriminant analysis. Experiments on low-dimensional data sets in the UCI machine learning repository and several kinds of low-resolution facial image data show that the proposed method improves the classification performance of low-dimensional data by generating features.
A Knowledge Base Completion Model Based on Path Feature Learning
Authors: Lin Xixun , Liang Yanchun , Wang Limin , Wang Xu , Yang Mary Qu , Guan Renchu
Published: February 2018

Large-scale knowledge bases, as the foundations for promoting the development of artificial intelligence, have attracted increasing attention in recent years. These knowledge bases contain billions of facts in triple format; yet, they suffer from sparse relations between entities. Researchers proposed the path ranking algorithm (PRA) to solve this fatal problem. To improve the scalability of knowledge inference, PRA exploits random walks to find Horn clauses with chain structures to predict new relations given existing facts. This method can be regarded as a statistical classification issue for statistical relational learning (SRL). However, large-scale knowledge base completion demands superior accuracy and scalability. In this paper, we propose the path feature learning model (PFLM) to achieve this urgent task. More precisely, we define a two-stage model: the first stage aims to learn path features from the existing knowledge base and extra parsed corpus; the second stage uses these path features to predict new relations. The experimental results demonstrate that the PFLM can learn meaningful features and can achieve significant and consistent improvements compared with previous work.

Tracing Public Opinion Propagation and Emotional Evolution Based on Public Emergencies in Social Networks
Authors: Wei-dong Huang , Qian Wang , Jie Cao
Published: February 2018

Social network has become the main communication platform for public emergencies, and it has also made the public opinion influence spread more widely. How to effectively obtain public opinions from it to guide the healthy development of the society is an important issue that the government and other functional departments are concerned about. However, the interaction and evolution mechanism between the subject and the environment in the public opinion propagation is complicated, and the public and media attention and reaction to the incident are closely linked with the progress of the incident disposal. And public mining corpus has some shortcomings in the distribution of emotional classification. Only the timely update of artificial rules and emotional dictionary resources, it can handle new text data well. In fact, from the perspective of public opinion propagation, this paper built the network matrix between Internet users through the forwarding relationship, and used the social network analysis method and the emotion mining analysis technology to study the interaction and evolution mechanism between the subject and the environment in the public opinion propagation, and it studied the role of users in the emotional propagation of social networks. This paper proposed a sentiment analysis method on the micro-blog platform, which expanded the emotional dictionary and took sentence and emoticon and sentence patterns into account, which improved the accuracy of positive and negative classifications and emotional polarity analysis of the micro-blog.
Response of susceptible, partially resistant and resistant winter wheat cultivars to Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici – short communication
Authors: Věchet L.
Published: February 2018

Response of the susceptible cultivar Kanzler, the partially resistant cultivar Mikon and the resistant cultivar Asta (genes of resistance Pm2, Pm6) to powdery, were tested in two years small plot-experiments. Disease severity was influenced by weather conditions. There were highly significant differences in disease severity, infection type and number of diseased plants between the susceptible cultivar and the cultivars with partial resistance and specific resistance. Smaller differences were between the partially resistant cultivar and the resistant cultivar than between the cultivar with partial resistance and the susceptible cultivar. The most affected leaf was the third leaf from the top in all tested cultivars. Among these cultivars were differences in the highest development of disease in single growth stages.
Early weed succession on an abandoned field: vegetation composition and production of biomass
Authors: Stolcvová J. , Honěk A.
Published: February 2018

We investigated the early stage (second to fourth year) of weed succession on an experimental fallow field in central Bohemia (western Czech Republic). The experimental ground was ploughed in the autumn, harrowed and rolled in the spring, and divided into 5 x 5 m plots. In the control the weed stands were left intact, the other variants were mowed with or without cultivation of the superficial soil layer in June and July. The position of the plots and the treatments were the same each year. The production of aboveground biomass and proportion of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous annuals and perennials in different years (1993 to 1995) were recorded. The production of biomass (the aboveground crop of weeds in September) was highest in the controls with no treatment. In mowed or cultivated plots the total biomass production (the sum of biomass at the time of the treatment plus biomass re-grown after the treatment) was greater when the treatment was made in July than in June. In the second year of succession, the biomass of annuals was greater than that of perennials. From the third year on, perennial dicotyledonous species became the dominant weed community, in controls as well as on mowed or superficially cultivated plots. The rate of increase of the proportion of dicotyledonous perennial weeds was greatest in mowed plus superficially cultivated plots, intermediate in the controls, and lowest in plots where the weeds were only mowed.

Bridging Body and Mind: Considerations for Trauma-Informed Yoga
Authors: Justice Lauren , Brems Christiane , Ehlers Karrie
Published: February 2018

Individuals who suffer from trauma-related symptoms are a unique population that could benefit from the mind-body practice of yoga—or have their symptoms reactivated by it, depending on the type of yoga. Trauma-informed yoga (TIY), that is, yoga adapted to the unique needs of individuals working to overcome trauma, may ameliorate symptoms by creating a safe, tailored practice for students to learn how to respond, rather than react, to symptoms and circumstances. Yoga not thus adapted, on the other hand, may increase reactivity and activate symptoms such as hyperarousal or dissociation. This article reports on expert input about adapting yoga for individuals with trauma, with special considerations for military populations. Eleven experts, recruited based on literature review and referrals, were interviewed in person or via telephone and asked seven questions about trauma-informed yoga. Verbatim transcripts were subjected to open-coding thematic analysis and a priori themes. Findings revealed that TIY needs to emphasize beneficial practices (e.g., diaphragmatic breath and restorative postures), consider contraindications (e.g., avoiding sequences that overly engage the sympathetic nervous system), adapt to limitations and challenges for teaching in unconventional settings (e.g., prisons, VA hospitals), and provide specialized training and preparation (e.g., specialized TIY certifications, self-care of instructors/therapists, adaptions for student needs). TIY for veterans must additionally consider gender- and culture-related barriers, differing relationships to pain and injury, and medication as a barrier to practice.

Published: February 2018

La jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea tiene una importancia vital en el desarrollo de las instituciones de nuestro derecho laboral y su interpretación conforme al derecho comunitario, haciendo imprescindible su estudio y actualización constante. A través de este artículo científico se pretende poner en valor una serie de resoluciones dictadas en el último año y que han tenido una trascendencia enorme, poniendo en jaque alguna de las instituciones más arraigadas de nuestro derecho laboral, como lo es la equiparación a efectos de su indemnización de los trabajadores interinos, cuando se produce la cobertura de su plaza; o la aproximación –bajo determinadas circunstancias- de los despidos de trabajadores de baja laboral a la nulidad, cuando lo tradicional era considerarlos improcedentes.

Precision medicine in oncology – On a journey from dreams to reality
Authors: Patel Alpa Nimesh , Shah Mit
Published: February 2018

Precision medicine is defined as treatments targeted to the needs of individual patients on the basis of genetic, biomarker, phenotypic, or psychosocial characteristics that distinguish a given patient from another patient with similar clinical presentation. Precision Oncology is an innovation at the cusp of blooming. We reviewed the status of precision oncology today, and discuss the flaws, mainly in next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the design of clinical trials thus far. Precision oncology although paints a glossy imagery, the reality is laden with inherent flaws, lack of guided research and a generalisability for the clinical market. The scenario in India is similar. It remains to be seen, if Precision Oncology is able to withstand the scrutiny likely to come its way, and if it can appeal largely to a complex socioeconomic market as India. We conclude that precision oncology is not far from an exponential boom, provided the right questions are asked, and answers derived.
Praca podczas studiów i jej wpływ na zmianę w rolach społecznych studenta uniwersytetu. Zarys problematyki
Authors: Zielińska Maria
Published: February 2018

Praca zarobkowa podczas studiów powoli staje się normą w polskiej rzeczywistości. W życie i aktywność studencką coraz częściej wpisana jest aktywność ekonomiczna. Różne są motywacje podejmowania pracy zarobkowej. Najczęściej jest to chęć poprawienia własnej sytuacji ekonomicznej. Coraz częściej jednak praca podejmowana jest przez młodych ludzi w celu uzyskania doświadczeń zawodowych, którymi można wykazać się w staraniach o lepszą pracę po studiach i umieścić je w CV. Głównym celem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy i w jakim zakresie praca podczas studiów wpływa na podstawową rolę i inne role społeczne studenta. Dane empiryczne pochodzą z badań zrealizowanych wśród studentów Uniwersytetu Zielonogórskiego w 2015 roku.
Przebieg reintegracji zawodowej w spółdzielniach socjalnych w województwie łódzkim
Authors: Sobczak Michał Jerzy
Published: February 2018

Spółdzielnie socjalne są jednym z narzędzi aktywnej polityki społecznej. Mają one na celu wsparcie osób zagrożonych wykluczeniem społecznym i prowadzenie do nich skierowanych działań inkluzyjnych poprzez reintegrację społeczno‑zawodową. Dzięki temu osoby te odzyskują zatrudnialność w dalszych etapach swoich karier zawodowych i mogą prowadzić życie według modelu akceptowanego przez społeczeństwo. Spółdzielczość socjalna w Polsce rozwija się od ponad 10 lat, co pozwala na analizę skuteczność tych organizacji w zakresie ich celów działania. Tego typu analizy są szczególnie istotne ze względu na fakt, że spółdzielczość socjalna jest hojnie wspierana i promowana przez władze krajowe. Warto zatem dowiedzieć się, czy należy przeznaczać znaczne środki budżetowe na rozwój tego typu organizacji. Referat został oparty na wynikach badań ankietowych prowadzonych na grupie 116 założycieli oraz 74 pracowników najemnych z 42 spółdzielni socjalnych z województwa łódzkiego w okresie od grudnia 2013 do czerwca 2014 roku Badania te były częścią większego projektu związanego z oceną skuteczności spółdzielczości socjalnej w zakresie reintegracji zawodowej osób zagrożonych wykluczeniem społecznym w Polsce. Prowadzono je w województwie łódzkim i podjęto próbę dotarcia do wszystkich 82 spółdzielni socjalnych zarejestrowanych w regionie na koniec listopada 2013 roku. Przeprowadzone analizy pozwoliły zweryfikować spółdzielnie socjalne jako skuteczną metodę ograniczania wykluczenia społecznego poprzez reintegrację zawodową. Spółdzielców socjalnych trzeba oceniać osobno w dwóch podgrupach, tj. pracowników najemnych oraz założycieli. Różnili się oni stopniem oddalenia od otwartego rynku pracy, co wynikało z różnej skali problemów wpływających na ich zagrożenie ekskluzją społeczną. Pracownikami byli ludzie o małym stopniu samodzielności, oczekujący na zaproponowanie im gotowych rozwiązań ich sytuacji społeczno‑zawodowej. Założyciele to ludzie o zupełnie innej charakterystyce – samodzielni i przedsiębiorczy. Spółdzielnia socjalna dała im możliwość przezwyciężenia chwilowych problemów poprzez założenie przedsiębiorstwa będącego często spełnieniem ich marzeń i pasji. Dzięki pracy w spółdzielni przedstawiciele obu podgrup rozwijali kompetencje w zakresie umiejętności zawodowych i postaw. Dzięki temu stawali się atrakcyjnymi do zatrudnienia przez pracodawców z otwartego rynku pracy.
On Estimation of Bi‑liner Regression Parameters

Published: February 2018

Two non‑parallel lines will be named as bi‑lines. The relationship between the definition of the bi‑lines function and linear regression functions of the distribution mixture is considered. The bi‑lines function parameters are estimated using the least squares method for an implicit interdependence. In general, values of parameter estimators are evaluated by means of an approximation numerical method. In a particular case, the exact expressions for the parameter estimators were derived. In this particular case, the properties of the estimators are examined in details. The bi‑lines are also used to estimate the regression functions of the distribution mixture. The accuracy of the parameter estimation is analyzed.

Fake news. A continuation or rejection of the traditional news paradigm?
Authors: Palczewski Marek
Published: February 2018

In the article, I analysed the problem of fake news in the context of the traditional paradigm of a news story. The traditional paradigm posits that, most of all, a piece of information is true. However in contemporary media, there exist pieces of information which are fabricated and untrue. It is not a new phenomenon, yet it has intensified in recent years. News stories are fabricated for entertainment, political, or commercial purposes. They are carriers of propaganda and profit. The essence of fake news is the intentional misleading of the receiver for achieving the above gains. It is difficult to verify their veracity, and identify fake news items due to their similarity to real pieces of news. That is why they are becoming a part of the media landscape in which we will probably have to exist.
Hybrid forms of entertainment in the media
Authors: Czarnek-Wnuk Paulina
Published: February 2018

The media environment is an extremely variable universe where every now and again we can observe the emergence of new phenomena. Many of those form through blending of often rather different and distant areas. As a result, there emerge hybrid forms, which are not entirely established or completely defined. This article is focussed on those kinds of mixed types based on media entertainment, e.g. infotainment, edutainment, politainment, politicotainment, docutainment etc., which can be observed in the means of mass communication. The goal of the study was to define their essence, their distinctive features, and to indicate the place of those hybrid forms within the media discourses being carried on today.
Interpretation of a verbal-visual communication
Authors: Habrajska Grażyna
Published: February 2018

In contemporary internet-dominated everyday life, ever more often one faces communications which utilise both verbal (words) and iconic (images) codes. In the article, I analyse two types of said communications: advertisements and memes. Both advertising content and memes belong to journalistic discourse. Therefore, one can analyse them using the same methods as verbal opinion texts, which require one to specify the situational background, the specific situation, the persuasive/ propaganda aim, and to standardise arguments. At the same time, memes are included in comical discourse, to analyse which it is necessary to be able to juxtapose the actual image with the presented image.
Strategies for organising the attention of receivers in e-mail marketing
Authors: Filipczak-Białkowska Anita
Published: February 2018

The article entitled “Strategies for organising the attention of receivers in e-mail marketing” discusses issues within social communication, more specifically e-mail advertising communication. In it, I consider the intention to draw the attention of receivers as the major element of said type of communication. The creators of advertisements utilise various methods for presenting their offers, as, in the light of market research, e-mail communication still holds a high significance in marketing. E-mail inboxes are often filled with advertising messages. Users easily identify some of those as advertising messages, and remove them without engaging their attention resources. Other, however, require more careful consideration as they do not reveal their commercial provenance, or even force users to open them. In order to discover the communication-based mechanisms which lay at the foundation of the influence on the receiver, I conducted a study of the material that I collected within a period of 2 years; there I analysed only those elements of an e-mail visible to receivers prior to clicking on a message. Eventually, I extracted 300 examples indicating the applications of the strategies discussed in the article, one of which is based on the intention to highlight an offer among other messages, while the other is aimed at concealing the marketing dimension of an offer. The assumed perspective of this communication-based study was explained by a description of an interdisciplinary nature: I discuss each strategy from the perspective of a linguist, I propose explanations of the mechanisms of their operation based on the knowledge regarding selected psychological mechanisms, and I indicated the operating tactics utilised within each strategy. The significance of the study was emphasised by the fact that a conscious and intentional concealment of the purpose of an e-mail constitutes an instrumental approach to receivers. Therefore, the application by the senders of advertising messages of the discussed strategies raises justified ethical doubts, and demands further research consideration, which might lead to legislative solutions.
The application of generalising judgements and their influence on the images of selected Polish columnists (a constructivism-focussed quantitative and qualitative approach)
Authors: Barańska-Szmitko Anna
Published: February 2018

The goal of the text was to indicate the image characteristics of an author of a verbal expression which were communicated through expressing generalising judgements, and to establish the difference between such generalisations depending on the given image characteristic. I used constructivism as the leading theory. In terms of methodology, I applied mixed methods: quantitative (quasi-experiment) and discourse analysis. The analysis indicated that generalisations are used for communicating the characteristics of: intelligent, critical, bluntly states her/his bold judgements, insightful, writes in an interesting way, realist, frank, while the receivers assign some of the characteristics depending on the degree of evaluation emphasis, reference to a taboo, utilisation of negation, and expressions using the 1st person plural.
The ugly in fine arts. The sensory nature of terror in the tales of the Brothers Grimm
Authors: Szwajkowska Anita
Published: February 2018

The author, inspired by philosophical aesthetic reflection, presents one of the aesthetic qualities: ugliness. Based on the assumption that “Grimms’ Fairy Tales” directly reach the realm of the unconscious, utilising towards that end not only symbolic meaning, but also a wide range of operations through imagined sensory perception, she identifies in the texts such fragments of the stories which relate to specific sensations caused in the real world using physical stimuli. The analysis constitutes only a case-based introductory study of the issue of senses in literary texts. She does not focus on the tale as an independent existential creation, which carries a multitude of interpretative references and meanings, only the possibilities offered by the analysis of a work, which consists of a transfer of a literary description to the imagination of the sensory experience occurring (hypothetically) in the receiver’s imagination.

Published: February 2018

This study focuses on the pattern of gender communication within the family. The purpose of this study is to analyze the gender communication pattern that is considered still inequality in the family. Four patterns of family communication consist of; Equality Pattern, Balance Split Pattern, Unbalance Split Pattern and Monopoly Pattern. The four patterns illustrate the division of roles and position of each member in the family. The findings in this study are the pattern of communication equation is the most supportive pattern in instilling gender values in the family because this pattern emphasizes equality among family members. Indeed, family relationships can be implemented depending on a number of factors, including: First, the number of interaction systems in the family should be considered. Second, family structure affects relationships. Third, family relationships are influenced by the nature of parents. Fourth, the distance between one and the other affects the relationship within the family. Although it is concurrently recognized that socio-cultural constructions continue to have a significant effect on the division of roles played by men (husband) and women (wife) in family institutions.

industry involved in the development of an Energy Production Technology degree program
at a Midwest community college to help address the need for qualified workers for the
local nuclear power plants. Through open-ended interviews and surveys, the mixed methods
case study collected data from 34 Energy Production Technology (EPT) program graduates,
seven EPT program advisory committee members, and four employers of graduates in the
energy industry. The findings revealed that the program was successful for creating a
supply of qualified technicians; the employers and graduates equally believed that the
program adequately prepared technicians for employment. Lessons learned include having a
realistic labor projection and knowledge of employability requirements, and making sure
all the right stakeholders are involved in the program development process. The study
has implications for policy and practice in career and technical education, especially
for those who work closely with industry.
An Assessment of the Use of Social Media in the Industrial Distribution
Business-to-Business Market Sector

Authors: Flanigan Rod L. , Obermier Timothy R.
Published: February 2018

The way B2B companies use social media continues to evolve as technology improves
and as demographics continue to change. The industrial distribution market sector is no
different than many other markets in that the industry continues to search for ways to
reach out to both existing and new customers. The industrial distribution industry has
been slow to adopt new marketing tools, relying heavily on the tried and tested model of
personal selling via personal relationship. As the Millennial generation continues to
enter the workforce, their consumer buying expectations are different than that of the
Baby Boomer generation, and they have a higher comfort level in using new technology to
enhance efficiencies at work. This study evaluated the use of social media among the top
industrial distributors in the United States, and it compared that information to the
top industrial manufacturers in the United States. This information was then compared to
similar data from Fortune 500 companies.
STEM in General Education: Does Mathematics Competence Influence Course
Selection

Authors: Enderson Mary C. , Ritz John
Published: February 2018

Many students enroll in college programs to prepare for their future careers. All
are required to complete general studies courses. At one university, technology and STEM
courses fulfill a part of the natural science and technology general education
requirements. This study uses a survey design to explore why 332 students chose to
enroll in a STEM technology course. Results found most enroll because their advisor
suggests the course, it meets a general education major requirement, and the course is

Educators’ Resistance to the Technology and Engineering Education
Transition

Authors: Rigler Jr. Kenneth L.
Published: February 2018

The purpose of the qualitative grounded theory study was to explore why industrial
arts educators resisted organizational change to technology and engineering education.
An exploratory, grounded theory method was used to identify new theory related to
educators’ resistance because the current literature did not provide a theoretical
perspective about why industrial arts educators have resisted the change. The sampling
frame was derived from a database of 379 secondary technology and engineering education
teachers in the state of Kansas, and a sample size of 13 participants was needed to
reach theoretical saturation of the phenomenon. The data for the study was collected
through observations and face-to-face semi-structured interviews with in-service
industrial education teachers. Data collected from the observations and interviews were
analyzed using the three-phase classic grounded theory coding technique. Data analysis
and interpretation resulted in the emergence of three substantive theories related to
the study phenomenon: (a) inefficacious transition to technology and engineering
education, (b) value for technical learning, and (c) industry demand-based
change.

Authors: Widyastuti Yuni
Published: February 2018

Selection of parents based on their combining ability is an effective approach in hybrid breeding. Four CMS and four restorer lines were crossed in line x tester mating design to obtain 16 F1 hybrids rice. The 8 parental lines and 16 hybrids rice were planted in randomized complete block design with three replications at Kuningan and Muara field station of ICRR during 2012-2013. The results revealed that mean squares for GCA were significant for number of fertile spikelet per panicle, a thousand-grains weight, and 50% days of flowering. Mean squares for SCA were significant for plant height and grain yield. Parental lines exhibited the highest GCA effects for GMJ12A (line) and CRS703 (tester) for grain yield trait and revealed good potential to be used as parents for hybrid rice. Among all the crosses, GMJ6A/CRS707 and GMJ12A/CRS707 showed the greatest positive SCA effects for grain yield and had heterosis over better parent and midparent.
Choke-Management Strategies for Hydraulically Fractured Wells and Frac-Pack Completions in Vertical Wells

Published: February 2018

In this study, a quantitative method is presented for the selection of a choke-management strategy that minimizes the risk of the predominant failure mechanisms in hydraulically fractured wells and frac-pack completions. In unconventional resources, an improper choke-management strategy may trigger proppant crushing or the flowback of proppant, resulting in fracture closure and loss of production. In frac packs and high-rate water packs, an abrupt increase in the rate (or drawdown) may induce completion damage, resulting in impaired production and sand production and requiring excessive and costly workovers.

Choke-management strategies should aim to minimize near-wellbore pressure gradients along the fracture, thus making proppant flowback and loss of fracture conductivity or connectivity with the wellbore less likely to occur. Choke-management strategies are compared for a wide range of formation and fracture properties, including fluid properties, matrix permeability, fracture conductivity, and fracture length. Results indicate that in unconventional formations (k < 0.01 md) there is a unique choke-management strategy that consistently appears to be the best. The methodology is coupled with previous studies that have focused on determining the critical pressure gradient for which proppant flowback is observed.

In frac packs and high-rate water packs, completion failure may occur because of excessive fluid velocities along the frac pack or exaggerated pore-pressure gradients at the completion sandface. Results indicate that the selection of the optimal choke-management strategy is similar to that of openhole completions, with beanup operations achieving a relatively higher reduction in pressure gradients for the case of low values of dimensionless fracture conductivity. The greatest reduction in pressure gradients can be achieved by considering beanup operations during completion design.

The results of this study provide, for the first time, a clear methodology for selecting choke-management strategies in hydraulically fractured wells and frac-pack completions for a wide range of reservoir and fluid properties. A general framework for beanup operations is defined and then used to compare beanup strategies for hydraulically fractured and frac-pack completions. It is hoped that this paper will contribute a theoretical foundation to the current diverse operator practices.

Significant advances have been made in the development of analytical models for performing rate-transient analysis (RTA) for single-phase oil and gas reservoirs. The primary complication associated with the adaptation of these solutions to wells exhibiting multiphase flow is the single-phase assumption in the development of the material-balance time function. Despite some efforts in modifying existing dry-gas formulations for use with gas/condensate reservoirs, that approach is not practical for analyzing multiphase flow from oil wells with multiphase-flow characteristics.

In this work, we present a simple yet semianalytical model that provides a solution for analyzing production data from wells exhibiting multiphase flow during boundary-dominated flow periods. The solution is obtained by combining the material-balance equation and the productivity index (PI) for all flowing phases. Appropriately defined total pseudopressure and total pseudotime are introduced to handle the associated multiphase nonlinearities in the governing flow equations of oil, gas, and water phases simultaneously. A generalized flowing-material-balance (FMB) equation is derived from the total pseudovariables to estimate original fluid in place and drainage area (given volumetric input). The presented model provides a theoretical framework for analyzing production data considering a wide variety of reservoir-fluid systems.

The new method is validated against numerical simulation, covering a wide range of fluid properties and operating conditions. In all simulated cases, the new method matches simulation input acceptably. Two field examples are also analyzed to demonstrate the practical applicability of this approach. This work serves as a practical and simple engineering tool for production-data analysis on wells exhibiting single and multiphase flow during boundary-dominated flow.
