The environment of forming of Lower Carboniferous volcanogenic-terrigenous strata of the eastern slope of the Middle and Northern Urals
Authors: Petrov G. A. , Maslov A. V.
Published: December 2024

The Lower Сarboniferous volcanogenic-terrigenous strata on the eastern slope of the Middle and Northern Urals have been studied. It is shown that these formations are confined to the zones of regional strikeslips and were formed in the conditions of transtension. The geochemical parameters of volcanites show similarities with igneous rocks of both suprasubduction and intraplate environments, which does not contradict the ideas about their formation in the rear of the active continental margin.

Published: December 2024

U–Pb (LA-ICP-MS) geochronological studies of detrital zircon from rocks of the Early Proterozoic Khargituy Formation of the Sarma Group, distributed in the central part of the Baikal uplift of the basement of the Siberian craton and included in the structure of the Sarma zone of the Akitkan orogenic belt, were carried out. It was established that the Khargituy Formation included rocks formed at different time intervals: 2.7, 2.15–1.95 and 1.7 Ga. It is shown that Meso- and Neoarchean age peaks (2.7–3.1 Ga) are characteristic of zircon from leucocratic gneisses, which indicates the formation of gneiss protoliths after 2.7 Ga due to the destruction of Archean granitoids of the Sarma zone of the Akitkan orogenic belt and igneous rocks of the Anabar superterrane basement of the Siberian craton. The time interval of 2.15–1.95 Ga corresponds to the accumulation of protoliths of mica-quartz schists, which is justified by the age of the youngest zircon grains – 2150 Ma and the age of metamorphism of these rocks – 1.95 Ga. The presence of an age peak at 1833 Ma and younger zircon grains with ages in the range of 1675–1785 Ma in a sample of mica-quartz schist taken from another area of rock outcrops attributed to the Khargituy Formation indicates that the accumulation of protoliths of these rocks occurred after the formation of the Akitkan orogenic belt and the South Siberian postcollisional magmatic belt. The results obtained indicate that the rocks attributed to the Khargituy Formation of the Sarma Group of the Western Baikal region cannot be considered as a single stratounit, since their formation occurred at different stages of the evolution of the Akitkan orogenic belt. Thus, as a result of the research, it was shown that, based on new data, the deposits of the Khargituy Formation should be divided into complexes of different ages (stratounits), each of which corresponds to a certain stage of the geological evolution of the territory.

Authors: Skublov S. G. , Terekhov E. N. , Kuznetsov N. B. , Makeyev A. B. , Salimgaraeva L. I.
Published: December 2024

New data on the U–Pb age (SHRIMP-II) and trace element composition (SIMS) of zircons from granites of Bolshoy Tyuters Island (Outer Islands of the Gulf of Finland) are presented. The upper intersection of the discordia (1825±11 Ma) is taken as the age of crystallization of granites cutting through secondary quartzites, and thereby determines their youngest age. Subconcordant zircons located in the upper part of the discordia has growth oscillatory zoning and geochemical characteristics of zircons of magmatic origin. The age of the lower intersection of discordia and concordia is about 570 Ma, supported by the independent generation of zircons, represented by black in the CL domains and rims in magmatic zircons, which are characterized by increased contents of non-formula elements (light REE, Ca, P, Ti, Nb, etc. ), up to anomalous values. The most probable interpretation of the age of the lower intersection of discordia and concordia can be considered the Timan (Ediacaran) or Finnmark (Early Caledonian) thermal activation of the Fennoscandian Shield, previously established based on zircons from gneisses of the Kola series.

Published: December 2024

An unusual variety of iowaite, characterized by an anomalously low content of divalent cations: (Mg+Fe2+)/Fe3+ ~2.75:1, was identified as part of the late hydrothermal mineral association in the Udachnaya kimberlite pipe (Yakutia). Its crystal structure was studied on a single crystal: polytype 3R, sp. gr. R3 ̅m, a = 3.1213(3), c = 23.621(4) Å, V = 199.30(5) Å3; R1 = 0.027. In some crystals, zoning has been revealed, indicating natural anion exchange with the main reactions 2Cl– → SO42– and 2Cl– → 2SO42– + Ca2+. This is the first reliably recorded case of natural anion exchange in minerals of the hydrotalcite supergroup. The anion exchange reaction occurs with an increase in the interlayer distance from 8.0 to 11.2 Å. The composition and character of zoning of the studied crystals provides information about the evolution of the chemistry of late low-temperature processes.

Published: December 2024

This study considers 3D modeling to compare the seismic performance of hybrid control systems. The hybrid system in this research combines the usage of tuned mass dampers and seismic isolation. This seismic performance of this system is investigated under the effects of earthquakes and by considering soil-structure interaction. Analysis was performed by SAP2000 software. The dynamic analysis under earthquake effect was carried out by time domain analysis method. The example structure is symmetrical and has ten stories. The example building control cases are; fixed base conventional building, seismically isolated building, building incorporating tuned mass damper (TMD), and hybridly controlled building that combines the use of both seismic isolation and tuned mass damper. In these cases, numerical findings are obtained by considering soil-structure interaction. The results are presented comparatively for all different control and soil cases. It is obtained from this study that during the design of a building with isolators or TMD’s, soil-structure interaction should not be disregarded.

Role of the RegCM4 Regional Climate Model in Investigating the Influence of the Initialized Soil Moisture on the Soil Temperature Profile of Egypt
Authors: Anwar Samy A. , Srivastava Ankur
Published: December 2024

In this study, the sensitivity of the soil temperature (ST) profile of Egypt to different initial soil moisture conditions was investigated using the RegCM4 regional climate model. The RegCM4 was downscaled with the ERA-Interim reanalysis and 25 km grid spacing and it was configured with version 4.5 of the community land model (CLM45). The initial conditions of the soil moisture were defined as ESACCI satellite product (ESA) and Century reanalysis product (CEN). Also, the ST profile was defined as shallow (10 cm), medium (40 cm), and deep (100 cm) depth. Additionally, the added value of the linear scaling (LS) was examined considering the depth 100 cm as an example. The results showed that the ST was sensitive to the initial soil moisture condition. The CEN demonstrated lower ST bias than the one observed in the ESA, particularly for the depth of 100 cm (by 0.5 to 5°C), followed by the 40 cm depth (by 0.5 to 3.5°C), and finally the 10 cm depth (by 0.5 to 1.5°C). Additionally, the LS showed its potential skills in reducing the ST bias in the evaluation/validation periods. Such point was confirmed in simulating the ST climatological annual cycle in different locations (representing different climate zones of Egypt). Quantitatively, the mean bias and standard deviation ratio of the CEN are lower than those of the ESA total locations. In conclusion, our study emphasizes the importance of initializing the RegCM4 with the CEN and applying the LS method for correcting its output to ensure a reliable simulation of the ST profile of Egypt.
Experimental Study on Permeability Damage Induced by Multi-Cycle Alternative Injection and Production in Porous Sandstone Geothermal Reservoirs
Authors: He Jibin , Zhao Yujun , Feng Jianyue , Xie Wei , Li Xiaojie
Published: December 2024

For the mid-to-deep porous sandstone geothermal reservoirs, where geothermal pressures are relatively high and artificial recharge-induced blockage is severe, the accumulation of particulate materials can easily lead to a reduction in reservoir permeability, also known as permeability damage. Most of the deep porous geothermal fields have experienced internal blockage in their recharge wells, eventually resulting in their decommissioning. This paper conducts a series of indoor simulations of recharge displacement in geothermal wells targeting sandstone reservoirs with different porosities using a self-developed experimental system designed to mimic the mechanism of multi-cycle alternative injection and production induced blockage. We analyze the mode of permeability damage and its changing patterns under the multi-cycle alternative injection and production process, observe the blocking phenomena, and study the seepage laws and permeability damage laws. The results show that solid particles migrate, adhere, and deposit in the pores of the geothermal reservoir under the coupling effect of stress-seepage-erosion, resulting in a pore state evolution from permeable to blocked and then back to partially permeable. Therefore, the permeability damage process can be divided into four stages: initial infiltration stage (no blockage), infiltration reduction stage (initial blockage), infiltration attenuation stage (aggravated blockage), and infiltration stabilization stage (stable blockage). During high-pressure recharge, the original stress of the reservoir is disrupted, and the permeability force generated by the injected fluid promotes the migration of fine-grained materials within the rock matrix, leading to permeability damage. This study provides insights into the permeability damage mechanism during multi-cycle alternative recharge in porous sandstone geothermal reservoirs.
Core-O: A Competence Reference Ontology for Professional and Learning Ecosystems
Authors: Calhau Rodrigo F. , Almeida João Paulo A. , Sales Tiago Prince , Barcelos Pedro Paulo F. , Guizzardi Giancarlo
Published: December 2024

There are a number of standards aiming to facilitate the exchange of competence data in the educational and job market areas. Despite their relevance, we have observed that they could benefit from an in-depth analysis of the notion of competence, given its central role in the intended application areas. This includes addressing facets of competence not only when attributed to particular individuals, but also when required by occupations in general. A comprehensive account for competences should ideally account for competence-related elements such as knowledge, attitudes, skills. It should also countenance their performance—related to tasks, their context, and outcomes—as well as their evolution over time (in order to account for the notion of ‘proficiency’). While some of these aspects are addressed in the existing standards, they are addressed in a partial manner, and a comprehensive conceptualization that can serve as a reference for articulating the various perspectives is still lacking. This is the focus of Core-O as a well-founded competence reference ontology.

Authors: Xhani Donika , Rebelo Moreira João Luiz , van Sinderen Marten , Ferreira Pires Luís
Published: December 2024

Machine Learning (ML) models often operate as black-boxes, lacking transparency in their decision-making processes. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) aims to address the rationale behind these decisions, thereby enhancing the trustworthiness of ML models. In this paper, we propose an extension of the Explainable ML Workflows ontology, which was designed as a reference ontology with OntoUML, and implemented as an operational ontology with OWL. The Explainable ML workflows ontology reuses ML-Schema, which is a core ontology for representing ML algorithms. We have identified four main issues in the conceptualization of this ontology, namely the lack of feature categorization, the lack of data pre-processing methods, the shallow description of metadata related to training and testing, and the lack of detailed representation of XAI approaches and metrics. We addressed these four issues in the so-called Explainable ML Pipeline Ontology (XMLPO), which aims to provide a comprehensive description of the ML pipeline for XAI. XMLPO offers a deeper understanding of the entire ML pipeline, encompassing data input, pre-processing, model training and testing, and explanation processes. XMLPO was validated through a case study on the prediction of specific performance indicators in a manufacturing company, and the results of this validation showed that the ontology helps data scientists to better comprehend a ML pipeline and the features that influence the ML prediction model the most.

Published: December 2024

The distribution network is directly connected to the user side, making its position critical. Demand-side response enables users to actively participate in distribution network scheduling, which plays a vital role in ensuring both the security and economic operation of the network. Therefore, incorporating demand-side response for optimal scheduling in new energy distribution networks is crucial. This paper focuses on the following aspects: First, the components and advantages of new energy active distribution networks are examined, and a detailed model of incentive-based demand-side response is developed. Then, an optimal dispatch model is established with economic efficiency as the primary objective, solved using an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm, and tested with the IEEE 33-node distribution network standard. Finally, data analysis reveals that with the participation of demand-side response, the new energy distribution network operates with enhanced economic efficiency.

Published: December 2024

Online reviews significantly impact consumer behavior and shape perceptions of services in the digital marketplace. They serve as a vital source of information, influencing purchasing decisions and brand loyalty. As a result, businesses increasingly rely on managing their online reputation to attract and retain customers. With the growing reliance on online reviews in the hospitality industry, particularly for hotels, accurately analyzing customer feedback has become essential for improving service quality and enhancing guest satisfaction. However, processing and interpreting hotel reviews presents a significant challenge. This study addresses this issue by developing three widely used machine learning models: Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Random Forest, to classify and evaluate hotel reviews gathered from the Google platform for hotels in Perak, Malaysia. Based on 2,993 samples, the analysis reveals that Naïve Bayes performs best overall with 76% accuracy and excels in detecting both positive and negative sentiments. SVM, with 70% accuracy, shows strong performance in detecting positive sentiments. On the other hand, Random Forest, with 74% accuracy, demonstrates high recall in detecting positive reviews but struggles with neutral sentiments. These results emphasize the necessity of choosing the right model according to specific evaluation metrics, especially in situations where customer feedback is diverse and complex.

Authors: Zhang Lihui , Fu Zihan , Liu Yingxue , Wang Xiaoyu , Zhang Lijuan
Published: December 2024

Liver tumor segmentation remains a challenging task. Previous methods often relied on simple feature fusion (e.g., concatenation or summation), leading to suboptimal results. This paper proposes a segmentation method based on AGCH-Net with multi-scale feature fusion. Built on the U-Net framework, we replace standard convolutions with Fused-MBConv, improving multi-scale feature extraction and representation. The SE_ASPP module at the bottleneck enhances salient feature learning, while the AGCH attention mechanism in skip connections mitigates semantic conflicts and suppresses irrelevant information. Our method, evaluated with five-fold cross-validation on the LiTs dataset, achieved 96.6% Dice, 7.3 mm HD, and 1.0 mm ASD for liver segmentation. For tumor segmentation, it reached 80.9% Dice, 14.3 mm HD, and 2.3 mm ASD, outperforming mainstream methods.

Linking Antecedents, Processes, and Outcomes of Public Sector Innovation: A Complexity Theory Perspective
Authors: Alteneiji Asma Omran Mohammed Alkhayyal , Tipu Syed Awais Ahmad , Sarker Abu Elias
Published: December 2024

Drawing upon the complexity theory, the current study posits that public sector innovation (PSI) occurs in a complex adaptive system underpinning interactions’ effect between antecedents, processes, and outcomes of PSI. This rejects the notion of the traditional perspective of examining PSI through an Input-Process-Output framework. Four case studies of Federal Ministries in the United Arab Emirates are examined in which Government Excellence Model (GEM) was implemented. The findings revealed that the approaches adopted by selected ministries reflected self-organizing networks with feedback loops highlighting dynamic evolution. The national leadership vision, sense of competitiveness, and co-creation with the community played a significant role in implementing PSI. The current study focuses on the UAE's locally developed GEM, a model that introduces a novel philosophy centered on government entities' outcomes. It aligns these outcomes with government performance, citizen satisfaction and happiness, and competitive rankings. It intends to demonstrate how GEM sustains and shapes results across economic, social, and environmental dimensions.

Optimizing DevOps Pipelines with Automation: Ansible and Terraform in AWS Environments
Authors: Venkat Marella
Published: December 2024

In order to improve operational efficiency and agility in contemporary IT systems, this study investigates the integration of DevOps methods with cloud management. It offers a thorough rundown of the main DevOps tools and technologies needed to manage cloud infrastructure, including as monitoring systems, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, and configuration management systems. The inability to allow concurrent project development and deployment on the same operational infrastructure (such as a cluster of Docker containers) is a practical shortcoming of current DevOps systems. In order to fill the gaps in the current Development and Operations (DevOps) methods, this paper offers a thorough study and explores how such integrations in Amazon Web Services might enhance deployment efficiency, dependability in software and infrastructure delivery, and security. Thus, the goal of this research is to use the AWS platform to automate the processes of developing and maintaining IT infrastructure. Therefore, we provide a mathematical model in this research to ascertain the ideal arrangement for IT infrastructure. This study investigates in detail how Kubernetes clusters in the AWS environment may be efficiently automated, scaled, and managed using Terraform, an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool. It thoroughly examines the advantages of using Terraform, highlighting how it may enhance productivity, automation, scalability, and security while managing Kubernetes clusters. To demonstrate Terraform's capabilities in infrastructure management, the paper contrasts it with other popular (IaC) tools and techniques. It also explores how Terraform works with AWS services to streamline procedures and cut down on complexity. Trends and possible developments in combining Kubernetes and Terraform to improve the administration of cloud-native apps are also covered in the paper.
Os limites do autorregramento da vontade das partes no código de processo civil e os escopos da jurisdição
Authors: Stipsky Paulo Ricardo , Vicelli Gustavo de Melo , Diniz Camila de Oliveira
Published: December 2024

A possibilidade de realização de negócios jurídicos processuais, apesar de não ser nova, ganhou relevo em razão do estabelecimento pelo legislador, mais recentemente, de cláusula geral inserida no artigo 190 do Código de Processo Civil de 2015. De outro lado, devem ser debatidos os limites dessa possibilidade, em especial no caso de pretensão de autocomposição na fase de cumprimento de sentença (após a prestação da tutela jurisdicional) e no caso de pretensão de acordo para limitação do direito de defesa ou mesmo, por exemplo, sobre a possibilidade de propositura de ação rescisória, aquém ou além dos limites legais. Sendo assim, o tema é analisado, metodologicamente, pela revisão da doutrina e nesse contexto, pode-se concluir que o autorregramento da vontade das partes deve ser limitado diante dos escopos da jurisdição e para a realização do direito material no caso concreto, não sendo possível a realização de negócio jurídico processual pelas partes nessas hipóteses, devendo o juiz controlar a pretensão dos litigantes de acordo com o modelo constitucional de processo.

A szerzők felhívják a figyelmet arra, hogy bár a válltájék fájdalma a harmadik helyen áll a mozgásszervi panaszok között, és klinikai diagnózisa gyakran nehézségekbe ütközik a pontos oki háttér azonosítása terén, mivel gyakran képalkotó eljárásokkal sem lehet egyértelműen alátámasztani a vállfájdalmak pontos háttér tényezőit. Többek között ezért kiemelt jelentőségű a gyógytornász számára az anamnézis és a fizikális vizsgálat, melynek segítségével korrekt szöveti és funkcionális diagnózist állít fel, ennek alapján meghatározza a kezelési célokat és azok megvalósításához szükséges módszereket. Ebben segítséget nyújthatnak olyan szakmai irányelvek, amelyek tanácsot adnak a vizsgálat menetéhez, a gyógytornász által felállított funkcionális deficitekhez, valamint evidenciákon alapuló ajánlásokat tartalmaznak a kezelési lehetőségeket illetően. A kutatásban áttekintésre kerültek az Egészségügyi Szakmai Kollégium által összeállított szakmai protokollok. A szerzők arra a véleményre jutottak, hogy az irányelvek felülvizsgálata és korszerűsítése ebben a témakörben időszerű lenne. A szakirodalmi kutatás eredményeként a nemzetközi trendek alapján a válltájéki fájdalmakkal kapcsolatos rizikófaktorok, kóroki tényezők, red flagek, vizsgálati metódusok és kezelési ajánlások kerültek feltárásra és áttekintésre. „Jógyakorlat” lehet a nemzetközi irodalomban fellelhető klinikai gyakorlati irányelvek, betegvizsgálati metódusok, vizsgálati útvonalak, algoritmusok felhasználása a fizioterapeuta munkájához, illetve a hazai szakmai anyagok frissítésére is.

The analysis of the average size of pension payments in the dynamics of recent years is carried out, the structure of revenues and expenditures of the Pension Fund of Ukraine is studied. The main directions of improving the efficiency of management of financial resources of the PFU are considered. It is emphasized that improving the efficiency of financial resources management of the Pension Fund of Ukraine is a critically important task for ensuring the stability and development of the country’s pension system. The analysis revealed a number of key problems, including demographic challenges, structural budget deficit of the Pension Fund of Ukraine, and insufficient diversification of funding sources. The proposed measures to optimize the management of financial resources of the Pension Fund of Ukraine include the introduction of modern information technologies to improve administration, also to improve the system of control over the use of funds. Transparency and accountability in financial transactions of the PFU will help increase public confidence, and increase the financial literacy of citizens will stimulate active participation in systems of savings accumulation. Particular attention should be paid to the gradual transition to an accumulated pension system, which will reduce the burden on the solidarity system and create additional sources of financing pension payments. The implementation of the complex of proposed measures will significantly increase the financial stability of the Pension Fund of Ukraine, ensure a fairer distribution of pension payments and create preconditions for increasing the level of social protection of pensioners. At the same time, the success of reforming the system of financial resources management of the Pension Fund of Ukraine will largely depend on the consistency of State policy, the quality of the legislative framework and the efficiency of interagency coordination.
