ISAM: a Software Architecture for Pervasive Computing
Authors: Victória Barbosa Jorge Luis , Corrêa Yamin Adenauer , Augustin Iara , Resin Geyer Cláudio Fernando
Published: October 2018

The Mobile Computing is a vision of future that promises to modify the way people work and interact today. It has emerged as a new field, distinct from conventional distributed computing by its focus on mobility and its consequence. The physical and logical mobility allows the creation of applications with news requirements: built-in mobility, adaptability and flexibility. So, software production for this global mobility is complex. Challenges include designing applications which service levels and available resources are unpredictable, and the behavior is variable in time and space. To provide a system architecture that simplifies the task of implementing the mobile applications with adaptive behavior is the objective of the ongoing ISAM Project. In order to achieve its goal, ISAM uses as strategies: (a) integrated environment that provides a programming paradigm and its execution environment; (b) uniform treatment of adaptation through multilevel collaborative model, in which both the system and the application contribute for that. The scheduling process – the core of ISAM architecture, manages this collaboration. Introducing HoloLanguage abstractions that express adaptability makes the control of adaptation by part of application. So, adaptation is not fully transparent to applications. In this paper, we present the main decisions used for designing the ISAM Architecture. We also introduce a first taxonomy for mobile applications with adaptive behavior.
Assimilation of Synthetic SWOT River Depths in a Regional Hydrometeorological Model
Authors: Häfliger Vincent , Martin Eric , Boone Aaron , Ricci Sophie , Biancamaria Sylvain
Published: October 2018

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, to be launched in 2021, will provide water surface elevations, slopes, and river width measurements for rivers wider than 100 m. In this study, synthetic SWOT data are assimilated in a regional hydrometeorological model in order to improve the dynamics of continental waters over the Garonne catchment, one of the major French catchments. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the sequential assimilation of SWOT-like river depths allows the correction of river bed roughness coefficients and thus simulated river depths. An extended Kalman Filter is implemented and the data assimilation strategy was applied to four experiments of gradually increasing complexity regarding observation and model error over the 1995-2000 period. With respect to a “true” river state, assimilating river depths allows the proper retrieval of constant and spatially distributed roughness coefficients with a root mean square error of 1 m1/3 s-1, and the estimation of associated river depths. It was also shown that river depth differences can be assimilated, resulting in a higher root mean square error for roughness coefficients with respect to the true river state. The last study shows how one can take into account more realistic sources of SWOT error measurements, in particular the importance of the estimation of the tropospheric water content in the process.
Catalytic Hydrotreatment of Microalgae Biocrude from Continuous Hydrothermal Liquefaction: Heteroatom Removal and their Distribution in Distillation Cuts
Authors: Haider Muhammad Salman , Castello Daniele , Michalski Karol Michal , Pedersen Thomas Helmer , Rosendahl Lasse
Published: October 2018

To obtain drop-in fuel properties from non-feed biomass, we herein report the catalytic hydrotreatment of microalgae biocrude, produced from hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of Spirulina. Our contribution focuses on the effect of temperature, initial H2 pressure, and residence time on the removal of heteroatoms (O and N). In contrast to common hydrotreating experimental protocols at batch scale, we devised a set of two-level factorial experiments and studied the most influential parameters affecting the removal of heteroatoms. It was found that up to 350 °C, the degree of deoxygenation (de-O) is mainly driven by temperature, whereas the degree of denitrogenation (de-N) also relies on initial H2 pressure and temperature-pressure interaction.Based on this, complete deoxygenation was obtained at mild operating conditions (350 °C), reaching a concurrent 47 % denitrogenation. Moreover, three optimized experiments are reported with 100 % removal of oxygen. In addition, the analysis by GC-MS and Sim-Dis gives insight to the fuel quality. The distribution of heteroatom N in lower (<340 °C) and higher (>340 °C) fractional cuts is studied by a fractional distillation unit following ASTM D-1160. Final results show that 63-68 % of nitrogen is concentrated in higher fractional cuts.
An Inside Look at Anadarko Petroleum’s Digital Transformation
Authors: Jacobs Trent
Published: October 2018

In 2014, Anadarko Petroleum had just a single data scientist in its ranks. Today, it has almost 20 of them working at its headquarters north of Houston.

They are joined by a couple dozen more software developers, geophysicists, and reservoir engineers who together make up the independent producer’s Advanced Analytics and Emerging Technologies (AAET) group.

The initiative evolved from a slide deck put together just over a year ago to become the “spearhead for technological transformation in the company,” said Sanjay Paranji, the vice president of technology at Anadarko and head of the AAET program.

It is a sign that things can move swiftly in this industry, and for the group to be successful, it must keep up the pace.

The ambition that Paranji shares with the industry’s other transformation leaders is to undertake rapid experimentation to uncover the advanced hardware and software that can be scaled across hundreds or thousands of wells. The longer that job takes, the more wells get drilled and produced without the benefit of new optimization technologies.

This justifies why the AAET group uses a very different blueprint compared with all other business units at Anadarko.

Management operates with a light touch, emphasizing a high degree of autonomy among its project teams; too much intervention and the cultivation of creative brainpower yields less and less. The group also moved into a reinvented workspace this year, designed specifically to spur collaboration. Even the words routinely used by the staff stand apart from industry jargon: scrums, sprints, and MVPs, or minimally viable products.

The heart of the recipe involves combining roughly equal parts of Anadarko’s recently recruited data science talent with its experienced petrotechnical workforce. The idea is to get petroleum engineers to learn all they can about data science, and for data scientists to learn all they can about petroleum engineering.

“That’s our magic,” says Paranji. “We offer them complex problems, which gets the juices flowing—and that gets them to want to stay here.”

Innovating Through Failure and Cupcakes

To keep the digital train moving, Anadarko uses what is known as a scrum approach—a term borrowed from rugby where teams push the ball toward the goal together.

Four to five people make up each scrum team, of which there are eight to 10 working on various projects at any given time. Their mandate is simple: prove within 2-week sprints that an MVP is on course to make a meaningful impact, or should be dropped.

As the ubiquitous startup mantra goes, fail often and fail fast.

“To be stuck on something based on a sunk-cost bias for 6 months, and you’re trying to press on despite the fact that you have limitations in your approach, that’s a bad sign for us,” Paranji said. “You try an approach, it doesn’t work, you put it to bed, reformulate the problem, and then go after it with a different method.”
Liquids-Rich Permian Showcased as a Model Basin
Authors: Zborowski Matt
Published: October 2018

This year’s edition of the SPE Liquids-Rich Basin Conference in Midland, Texas, merged topics that have dominated recent industry discussions: technologies centered on big data, interwell communication, and Permian Basin production.

Given its location in “one of the hottest shale plays in the world right now,” the September event was “more accessible to those most directly working” in the basin, including committee members, presenters, and attendees, said Amber Voithofer, chair of the conference’s program committee. Presentations involved several big Permian operators, top oilfield service firms, and engineering and technology companies.

“There is a real focus in the industry to start doing more with all the data we have been collecting,” Voithofer said. “We have all of this data and really have not utilized it to its full potential.” As a result, further discussion in the coming years will revolve around machine learning, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics.

To address these advancements in an unconventional context, the conference was weighted toward the application of data analytics on local data sets and knowledge gained from modeling on themes such as parent-child well interaction, bashing, and sequencing. Special attention was paid to well spacing and well performance analysis methods.

Two presentations that sought to provide simpler answers to complex problems generated much interest. In SPE 191777, Schlumberger “challenged the status quo” on how estimated ultimate recovery is calculated, Voithofer noted. “Instead of fitting a curve through all the historic production data and extending it into the future, the paper proposed we match segments of well production, taking into account changes after well interventions.” In SPE 191783, Apache offered a glimpse into how operators are attempting to manage uncertainties around well spacing.

“The Permian is hot, and as companies continue to invest in development out here, I expect we will see more novel processes or technologies coming out of the basin,” Voithofer said, adding that there’s another liquids-rich basin to watch going forward: the Powder River.
High-Temperature Water-Based Mud Faces Challenges Offshore Sarawak, Malaysia
Authors: Wilson Adam
Published: October 2018

This article, written by Special Publications Editor Adam Wilson, contains highlights of paper OTC 28484, “Learnings From the High-Temperature Water-Based-Mud Application in Offshore Sarawak,” by M. Abshar M. Nor, SPE, M. Solehuddin A. Razak, and Lingges Devadass, Petronas, prepared for the 2018 Offshore Technology Conference Asia, Kuala Lumpur, 20–23 March. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

The reservoir section of a gas field offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, consists of two massive pinnacle carbonate structures with heterogeneous porosity and permeability and many vugs and faults. Severe to total loss of circulation was expected along with a high bottomhole temperature (BHT). Considering the high risk of lost circulation, the drilling-fluid strategy involved designing and testing a high-temperature (HT) -tolerant water-based mud (WBM). While the main hole was drilled successfully with the HT WBM, the sidetrack experienced a significant reduction in rate of penetration (ROP).

Well Design and Execution Challenges

During the design stage, determination of the severity of losses in the carbonate formation was met with high uncertainty. Consequently, a WBM system was selected to drill the 8½-in. reservoir section. A shale formation was predicted to be above the carbonate section, and a 95/8-in. casing was planned to be set as close as possible at the top of the carbonate to isolate the shale. With the 95/8-in. casing in place, the WBM was to be used to drill the shoe track and the remaining small shale section before entering the carbonate reservoir.

The BHT of the reservoir was predicted to be 370°F, which was extrapolated from data from offset wells. In addition, the pore pressure in the reservoir was overpressured approximately 14 lbm/gal because of a gas column in the carbonate. The high BHT coupled with the high mud-weight requirement of up to 14.5 lbm/gal led to the design of an unconventional HT WBM, which was a first for the operator. Special attention also was given to the corrosion risk on the drillstring from expected hydrogen sulfide levels up to 150 ppm and carbon dioxide levels up to 20% in the reservoir.

Predrill Laboratory Study

Laboratory tests were conducted to address major well challenges and overall performance of the system under extreme borehole temperatures. To ensure the mud system was able to withstand temperatures up to 400°F, a synthetic polymer was introduced to the mud design. Several mud formulations were tested and fine-tuned to achieve well-specific mud specifications for optimal hydraulic capability.

Laboratory tests in accordance with American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 13B were conducted to evaluate the mud properties with various concentrations of additives. Four samples—Samples A, B, C, and D—were prepared and submitted to the same test procedure to understand the mud rheological behavior upon exposure to the HT environment.
Hydrocarbon-Gas Cycling Improves Recovery in the Arun Gas Field
Authors: Carpenter Chris
Published: October 2018

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 186280, “Review of 20 Years of Hydrocarbon-Gas Cycling in the Arun Gas Field,” by Suhendro, SPE, Pertamina Hulu Energi, prepared for the 2017 SPE/IATMI Asia Pacific Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition, Bali, Indonesia, 17–19 October. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

Lean-gas injection has been used as an alternative method in gas fields to maintain reservoir pressure, minimize condensate banking near the wellbore, and mitigate oversupply operations during low-market periods. In this paper, past gas-cycling operations were examined to identify subsurface implications and effects on operability aspects for the Arun giant gas field offshore Indonesia in the North Sumatra Basin. Production and pressure data show that gas cycling contributes significantly to the improvement of field-recovery factors.

Reservoir and Fluid Description

The Arun gas field was discovered in 1971. The formation is carbonate reef, created during the Miocene age. It lies between two thick shale layers, Bampo on the bottom and Baong on the top. The Bampo formation is identified as source rock, with Baong shale as caprock. The field trends north to south, with a width of 18.5 km and a length of 5 km. Gas/water contact, to the south and west, was tilted toward the southern part of the field.

A gas-condensate reservoir at a depth of 10,000 ft was found to have an average thickness of 503 ft and an area of 21,450 acres, with 7,100-psig initial pressure and a temperature of 352°F. Initial condensate/gas ratio (CGR) was 50 bbl/MMcf. The reservoir has 16.2% average porosity and 17% initial water saturation. Volumetric original gas in place (OGIP) is calculated to be 17 scf. The current production rate from the field is approximately 80 MMcf/D with 2,400 bbl of condensate/day.

Fluid expansion and gas injection are determined to be the two main drive mechanisms on the basis of material-balance analysis. Hydrocarbon production uses four clusters with approximately 21 wells in each cluster. Each cluster is equipped with the same typical surface facilities. All produced fluid is pooled at Point A before being piped to gas-processing facilities. Initially, the produced gas was delivered to the Arun liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant for liquefaction but, in late 2014, the plant was shut down because of contract termination. In the second quarter of 2015, the facilities were reactivated for an LNG regasification terminal, Perta Arun Gas (PAG). Currently, the produced gas is transported to PAG for separation and dehydration before downstream processing.

The northern part of the field contains fair porosity; the middle part is dominated by good and fair porosity, while the southern part has a greater incidence of poor porosity. Clusters II and III, which are located at the middle part, contribute more cumulative gas production and condensate compared with Clusters I and IV. Thus, better reservoir properties and parameters are contributing to better production.
The role of human resource planning in producing well-resourced employees to public
Authors: Khumalo Njabulo
Published: October 2018

The term Human Resource Planning (HRP) can be used to achieve organizational objectives by understanding and planning for employees’ needs in the short, medium and long term in order to deliver desired results. Little research that has been conducted on HRP and most are from the private sector and none to be found in the public sector. This study was conducted in the public institution in South Africa. The literature consulted provides an overview that HRP solves current and future organizational problems by ensuring that the right people are in the right place at the right time. This is achieved by analyzing the current profile of the workforce and comparing it with future needs so that gaps, which need to be filled, can be identified. The paper intended to investigate the extent to which employees are well-resourced to perform their duties in centres of the municipality to the community. The investigation used mixed methods in its data collection. 45 participants participated in responding the self-administered questionnaire and seven participated in one-on-one interviews. The study found that half of employees who are working for the centres of the municipality includes supervisors who lack educational attainments, as they hold only grade 12 and no development was initiated. The study recommended the whole the municipality to establish and implement a promotion policy. All necessary equipment and tools provided were insufficient, as required by the Act, to provide all services to the public.
The Axiological Strategies of Innovation Discourse and Ways of their Argumentation
Authors: Sadovnikova O. N.
Published: October 2018

The research features the ways of innovation discourse and is based on the concept of axiological parameterization of social media discourse. It contributes to the construction of social meanings on the basis of what is particularly significant and valuable in the interpretation process. It also defines the conceptual status of "innovation" as one of the axiologemes of modern discourse. The authors set the parameters of the strategic organization of innovation discourse based on the dynamic approach to the discourse analysis in the model of the trajectory of discursivisation and interpretative approach to the discourse description. The authors also reveal the prevalence of axiological strategies of conceptual status improving as a positive valorization realized in the tactics and techniques of valorizing positive nomination as well as tactics of axiological programming. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the fact that it contributes to the description of discursive construction of the value of "innovation". The results of the analysis are applicable in the field of social discourse theory, speech influence, argumentation theory and axiological strategies.
Understanding Social Network and Support for Older Immigrants in Ontario, Canada: Protocol for a Mixed-Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Guruge Sepali , Sidani Souraya , Wang Lu , Sethi Bharati , Spitzer Denise , Walton-Roberts Margaret , Hyman Ilene
Published: October 2018

BACKGROUND

Older adults are the fastest growing age group worldwide and in Canada. Immigrants represent a significant proportion of older Canadians. Social isolation is common among older adults and has many negative consequences, including limited community and civic participation, increased income insecurity, and increased risk of elder abuse. Additional factors such as the social, cultural, and economic changes that accompany migration, language differences, racism, and ageism heighten older immigrants’ vulnerability to social isolation.

OBJECTIVE

This mixed-methods sequential (qualitative-quantitative) study seeks to clarify older immigrants’ social needs, networks, and support and how these shape their capacity, resilience, and independence in aging well in Ontario.

METHODS

Theoretically, our research is informed by an intersectionality perspective and an ecological model, allowing us to critically examine the complexity surrounding multiple dimensions of social identity (eg, gender and immigration) and how these interrelate at the micro (individual and family), meso (community), and macro (societal) levels in diverse geographical settings. Methodologically, the project is guided by a collaborative, community-based, mixed-methods approach to engaging a range of stakeholders in Toronto, Ottawa, Waterloo, and London in generating knowledge. The 4 settings were strategically chosen for their diversity in the level of urbanization, size of community, and the number of immigrants and immigrant-serving organizations. Interviews will be conducted in Arabic, Mandarin, and Spanish with older women, older men, family members, community leaders, and service providers. The study protocol has received ethics approval from the 4 participating universities.

RESULTS

Quantitative and qualitative data collection is ongoing. The project is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada.

CONCLUSIONS

Comparative analyses of qualitative and quantitative data within and across sites will provide insights about common and unique factors that contribute to the well-being of older immigrants in different regions of Ontario. Given the comprehensive approach to incorporating local knowledge and expert contributions from multilevel stakeholders, the empirical and theoretical findings will be highly relevant to our community partners, help facilitate practice change, and improve the well-being of older men and women in immigrant communities.

We drew on affective events theory to investigate the ways in which workplace fun motivates employees and improves their job performance. Analyzing the data collected from supervisor–knowledge worker subordinate dyads in high-tech organizations in mainland China and Taiwan, we
found that employees' perceived person–organization value congruence moderated the relation between workplace fun and employees' job performance, and this effect was mediated through their experienced fun. We discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of this mediated moderation
mechanism.
Self–other risk perception bias: Functions of event abstractness and social distance
Authors: Wu Lin , Lin Jing
Published: October 2018

We developed a platform to consider both optimism and pessimism biases in the same context using construal level theory as a basis, and gained the following key results: An increase in event abstractness increased differences in self–other risk perception (Experiment 1). Perceived
level of social distance determined whether optimism or pessimism bias occurred (Experiment 2). Compared with their closest other, people displayed more pessimism bias when estimating the risk of a concrete, compared to an abstract, event. In contrast, when comparing themselves with their
most distant other, people displayed less optimism bias when estimating the risk of a concrete event relative to an abstract event, illustrating that the occurrence and extent of optimism or pessimism depends on an interactive effect between social distance and event abstractness (Experiment
3). Our results suggest that people should consider both risk target and risk characteristics when estimating risk.

Pencemaran udara adalah salah satu permasalahan yang selalu mengganggu kesehatan lingkungan, seperti kabut asap yang belakangan ini terjadi setiap tahunnya di wilayah Kota Pekanbaru yang mengganggu kesehatan manusia bahkan sampai menelan korban jiwa. Untuk itu diterapkan ilmu dari data mining dengan metode K-means clustering yang dapat mengelompokkan polutan pencemar udara. Pengelompokan cluster dilakukan dengan beberapa kali pengujian dengan jumlah cluster berbeda dan juga dengan pengolahan data yang berbeda sebagai perbandingan untuk mencari hasil yang optimal. Setelah kelompok polutan dari 5 cluster di urutkan berdasarkan kadar polutan yang terkandung dapat disimpulkan bahwa polutan mengalami kenaikan antara bulan Juni dan Juli kemudian turun kembali pada bulan Oktober dan November sehingga diharapkan masyarakat lebih waspada pada rentang bulan-bulan tersebut untuk mencegah efek negatif dari polutan udara seperti ispa dan gangguan pernapasan lainnya bahkan dapat menyebabkan kematian.Kata kunci – Clustering, Data mining, K-means, Polutan udara

Based on the philosophical interpretation of quality, the research considers the external and internal de-termination of the quality of management. The ex-ternal determination includes the management style, the level of goal achievement, the level of perfor-mance, and the boss-subordinate relationship while the internal determination implies the organizational structure, the management system, the employee functions, and the latent characteristics of manage-ment (the level of pathology and the level of inver-sion). The issue of management customer is raised. It is argued that the quality of management is prima-ry in relation to the quality of products and services. The innovation management paradigm is considered as the ground for the development of methodologi-cal approaches to assessing the quality of manage-ment. The concept of open and hidden (latent) qual-ities of management is introduced. The theoretical constructs are based on the analysis and compre-hension of Russian and international scientific liter-ature and business press.

Authors: Estévez Marín Inmaculada
Published: October 2018

Los hurtos y robos en el campo constituyen un fenómeno de creciente interés. El presente estudio consiste en una aproximación a la descripción del tipo delictivo en la provincia de Málaga, así como en la relación entre algunas de las variables más influyentes. En primer lugar, se plantean cuestiones claves para lograr un mejor entendimiento del fenómeno. Posteriormente, se realiza un análisis empírico de estos delitos en la provincia de Málaga, que permite conocer la experiencia de las víctimas. Se puede concluir que los hurtos y robos en explotaciones agrícolas y ganaderas constituyen delitos complejos desde el punto de vista de la prevención, debido a que los factores de riesgo implicados guardan una relación estrecha con variables espacio-temporales más que con variables concernientes a la víctima o al delincuente
Mario Vargas Llosa visto por su traductor al francés
Authors: Bensoussan Albert
Published: October 2018

Conferencia impartida en 1994 en la Universidad de Málaga, este texto presenta algunos puntos metodológicos acerca de la traducción literaria, antes de enfocar el estudio en la traducción francesa de la obra del escritor peruano Mario Vargas Llosa. Tratando del calco, de la adaptación y de varias figuras estilísticas tales como la elipsis, la contracción, el asíndeton, la aposición, el diálogo , la parodia y el juego de palabras, este estudio quiere ilustrar, rechazando la pura literalidad, el alcance literario, o sea la literaridad, de la traducción.
Palabras y flores, habitantes de la ciudad secundaria (o sobre las semejanzas de la traducción)
Authors: Vidal Claramonte Mª Africa
Published: October 2018

El punto de partida de este trabajo es la idea de que traducir implica interpretar, no ya un texto, sino toda una cultura. Traducir implica al Otro: supone asistir a un encuentro en el que se ha de evitar lo que Foucault denomina «relaciones asimétricas de poder». Traducir es conversar, en el sentido de Gadamer, pero, inevitablemente, es también manipular. Como dice Jabès, las segundas Tablas no pueden parecerse a las primeras, porque nacen de la rotura de éstas. Entre ambas, sangra el abismo de la herida. Traducir es amar la diferencia. Paradójicamente, la traducción suprime las diferencias entre las lenguas poniéndolas de manifiesto. La traducción es una promesa de igualdades diferentes.

La crítica de la traducción: otros métodos, otros objetivos
Authors: Elena Pilar
Published: October 2018

Generalmente se ha descrito la Crítica de la Traducción como una parte de la Teoría que ofrece alternativas en cuanto al método más adecuado para cumplir un objetivo, que es el de comparar y valorar traducciones (ajenas) ya hechas; pero que tanto los métodos como los objetivos pueden ser otros se intenta demostrar aquí a través de la propuesta de una crítica de la traducción insertada en la formación de traductores como ejercicio práctico y auxiliada por otra disciplina, la gramática (textual) contrastiva.
Problemas traductológicos en el relato breve de terror The cask of amontillado de E. A. Poe: Análisis comparativo-descriptivo
Authors: Llácer Llorca Eusebio V.
Published: October 2018

Este trabajo trata de las posibilidades de la traducción poética y de los límites y restricciones a que esta práctica se ve sometida.El autor parte de su experiencia como traductor y ejemplifica con textos poéticos italianos y franceses en los que la estructura rítmica tiene un valor fundamental.Dos problemas básicos se plantean en esta reflexión: por una parte, las dificultades derivadas de la proximidad de esas lenguas (italiano y francés) con el español, lo cual lleva a un intento de reproducir estructuras lingüísticas; por otra, los problemas de la «traducción» de determinados esquemas rítmicos que son compartidos por estas lenguas.
El pacto tácito: hacia una ética deontológica de la traducción (con atención especial a algunas versiones del Salmo 136)
Authors: Peña Martín Salvador
Published: October 2018

Situándonos en una perspectiva derivada de la tradición kantiana, y declarándonos partidarios de los enfoques deontológicos, defendemos la necesidad de que la traductología se fundamente en un discurso ético, que complemente las conclusiones lingüísticas pertinentes. Después de examinar distintos problemas de traducción a la luz del razonamiento ético, proponemos la noción de pacto tácito como vía para el entendimiento de algunos de éstos. Y prestamos especial atención a algunas interpretaciones del salmo 136, que contrastamos con diversas conductas no éticas que se registran en la práctica de la traducción.
