Well modelling methods in thermal reservoir simulation
Authors: Liu Hui , Chen Zhangxin , Shen Lihua , Guo Xiaohu , Ji Dongqi
Published: September 2020

Reservoir simulation is of interdisciplinary research, including petroleum engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences. It studies multi-phase (water, oil and gas) flow in porous media and well modelling. The latter describes well behavior using physical and mathematical methods. In real world applications, there are many types of wells, such as injection wells, production wells and heaters, and their various operations, such as pressure control, rate control and energy control. This paper presents commonly used well types, well operations, and their mathematical models, such as bottom hole pressure, water rate, oil rate, liquid rate, subcool, and steam control. These are the most widely applied models in thermal reservoir simulations, and some of them can even be applied to the black oil and compositional models. The purpose of this paper is to review these well modelling methods and their mathematical models, which explain how the well operations are defined and computed. We believe a detailed introduction is important to other reseachers and simulator developers. They have been implemented in our in-house parallel thermal simulator. Numerical experiments have been carried out to validate the model implementations and demonstrate the scalability of the parallel thermal simulator.

Identificar evidências científicas sobre a aplicabilidade da cronobiologia e cronofarmacologia para subsidiar a tomada de decisão clínica do enfermeiro no aprazamento das medicações potencialmente perigosas de pacientes internados em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. Revisão integrativa da literatura desenvolvido em duas etapas: I) análise da lista de medicamentos dispensados para a Unidade de Terapia Intensiva; II) desenvolvimento das fases da revisão de literatura. As duas medicações mais dispensadas foram heparina e insulina. As evidências científicas apontaram que a heparina atinge o maior potencial terapêutico no período noturno. Em relação à insulina, não foi encontrado estudo sobre sua administração exógena e os achados científicos evidenciaram desacordo quanto ao ritmo circadiano da concentração plasmática da insulina e a responsividade das células B pancreáticas. Porém, estudos apontaram que a sensibilidade à insulina é menor durante a noite. Os dados encontrados são pioneiros e podem subsidiar o enfermeiro no que tange sua prática de aprazamento de medicações em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva. Tais achados podem contribuir para que os medicamentos sejam administrados em momentos adequados, visando à maximização das suas indicações clínicas junto aos pacientes em cuidados intensivos.

The clinical diversity of segmental orthodontics in pre-prosthetic cases
Authors: Rugina Roxana , Lazar Dan
Published: September 2020

The prosthodontic rehabilitation of edentulous spaces is a very common demand of patients. However, in the majority of cases, this is not as simple as it sounds. Because in time, the consequences of tooth extraction affect the neighboring teeth, leading to tooth migrations, tooth rotations, tilting, and the sagittal and vertical reduction of the edentulous spaces that have to be restored. Using segmental orthodontics on a limited number of teeth associated with skeletal anchorage, we can significantly improve the clinical situation, correcting these consequences of tooth migration following extraction, allowing the prosthodontist to have a better starting point in the process of rehabilitation. The treatment time is shorter than compared to a comprehensive orthodontic treatment, and thus, the patient acceptance may be increased. Once the spaces are correctly calibrated, and the tooth migrations have been corrected, the prosthodontist can restore the missing teeth as minimally invasive as possible.
Evaluation of the upper airway dimensions following Herbst appliance treatment in adolescents: A retrospective study
Authors: Gu Min , Lin Yifan , McGrath Colman Patrick Joseph , Hägg Urban , Wong Ricky Wing Kit , Yang Yanqi
Published: September 2020

Objectives:

This retrospective study investigated dimensional changes in the upper airway following Herbst appliance therapy in adolescents with Class II malocclusion and compared those changes with growth data.

Materials and Methods:

Lateral cephalograms from 44 Herbst-treated adolescents (23 boys, mean age = 13.3 ± 1.1 years, and 21 girls, mean age = 12.6 ± 1.1 years) were analyzed for the changes in the upper airway and craniofacial variables. Longitudinal cephalometric data of 34 untreated adolescents (15 boys, mean age = 12.6 ± 0.3 years, and 19 girls, mean age = 12.9 ± 0.4 years) were used as growth data for comparison.

Results:

Following treatment, significant changes were noted in most of the variables. Boys displayed greater downward movement of the hyoid bone than girls did (P = 0.021). Compared with the growth data, a greater increase in retroglossal oropharyngeal depth and hypopharyngeal depth was observed in boys and girls, respectively. Both displayed a decrease in the inclination of the soft palate and a smaller change in nasopharyngeal depth.

Conclusion:

Herbst appliance therapy enlarges the upper airway dimensions at two dissimilar sites in girls (oropharynx) and boys (hypopharynx). Boys display a greater increase in anterior and posterior facial heights than girls do, potentially accounting for the site dissimilarities. Moreover, a Herbst appliance improves the inclination of the soft palate and restricts the growth of the nasopharynx in both boys and girls.
Transcranial resection of a juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma of the orbit: A case report with 2-year follow-up
Authors: Junaid Muhammad , Bukhari Syed Sarmad , Ismail Majid , Kulsoom Anisa
Published: September 2020

Background:

Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibromas (JPOFs) are benign, locally invasive lesion of the craniofacial skeleton that may undergo rapid growth resulting in damage to cranial and facial structures. They usually occur before the age of 15 years and should be carefully treated as their diagnosis may be confused with other lesions such as psammomatous meningioma.

Case Description:

A 14-year-old male presented to the clinic with a history of progressive left proptosis. Imaging studies revealed a well-circumscribed lesion involving the left orbital roof and showing internal areas of calcification and sclerosis. He underwent a transcranial resection of the lesion and follow-up imaging revealed no evidence of recurrence.

Conclusion:

JPOFs are locally invasive lesions that require careful diagnosis and meticulous excision to prevent recurrence.
Air-Carbon Ablation Model for Hypersonic Flight from Molecular Beam Data
Authors: Prata Krishna Sandeep , Schwartzentruber Thomas E. , Minton Timothy
Published: September 2020

Recent molecular beam experiments of high velocity O, N, and O2 impacting carbon material at high temperature produced detailed surface chemistry data relevant for carbon ablation processes. New data on O and N reactions with carbon has been published using a continuous molecular beam with lower velocity (2000 m/s) and approximately 500 times higher beam flux than previous pulsed-beam experiments. This data is interpreted to construct a new air-carbon ablation model for use in modeling carbon heat shield ablation. The new model comprises 20 reaction mechanisms describing reactions between impinging O, N, and O2 species with carbon and producing scattered products including desorbed O and N, O2 and N2 formed by surface-catalyzed recombination, as well as CO, CO2, and CN. The new model includes surface-coverage dependent reactions and exhibits non-Arrhenius reaction probability in agreement with experimental observations. All reaction mechanisms and rate coefficients are described in detail and each is supported by experimental evidence or theory. The model predicts pressure effects and is tested for a wide range of temperatures and pressures relevant to hypersonic flight. Model results are shown to agree well with available data and are shown to have significant differences compared to other models from the literature.

RetroPrime: A Chemistry-Inspired and Transformer-based Method for Retrosynthesis Predictions
Authors: Wang Xiaorui , Qiu Jiezhong , Li Yuquan , Chen Guangyong , Liu Huanxiang , Liao Ben , Hsieh Chang-Yu , Yao Xiaojun
Published: September 2020

Retrosynthesis prediction is a crucial task for organic synthesis. In this work, we propose a template-free and Transformer-based method dubbed RetroPrime, integrating chemists’ retrosynthetic strategy of (1) decomposing a molecule into synthons then (2) generating reactants by attaching leaving groups. These two steps are accomplished with versatile Transformer models, respectively. While RetroPrime performs competitively against all state-of-the art models on the standard USPTO-50K dataset, it manifests remarkable generalizability and outperforms the only published result by a non-trivial margin of 4.8% for the Top-1 accuracy on the large-scale USPTO-full dataset. It is known that outputs of Transformer-based retrosynthesis model tend to suffer from insufficient diversity and high invalidity. These problems may limit the potential of Transformer-based methods in real practice, yet no prior works address both issues simultaneously. RetroPrime is designed to tackle these challenges. Finally, we provide convincing results to support the claim that RetromPrime can more effectively generalize across chemical space.

Published: September 2020

Attached gingiva is the distance between the mucogingival junction to a projection of the external surface of the sulcus or the periodontal pocket. There are mainly 3 methods for evaluating attached gingiva functional method (roll technique), the visual method with or without histochemical staining, anesthesia method. This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to identify the most commonly used technique for measuring the width of attached gingiva among patients. The study group consists of Adult patients who attended the outpatient Department of Prosthodontics from June 2019-March 2020. 86,000 case sheets were reviewed and sampling was done using simple random sampling. A chi-square test was done to evaluate the correlation between age, gender and Profession with Technique for measurement of Attached gingiva. From the study, we can see that most of the students used Roll technique to find Attached gingiva and some used Balloon technique to find attached gingiva. However, there is no significant correlation between age, gender and Profession with Technique of width of attached gingiva.

Published: September 2020

This study aims to document the existence and habitat preferences of the Anatolian leopard (Panthera pardus tulliana Valenciennes, 1856) in north-eastern Anatolia, Turkey. We sampled eleven study areas in 2013–2017, primarily based on our previous field experiences, reports from local people, and literature. Based on the findings from initial surveys, camera traps and leopard studies were mostly used in parts of the Giresun (Sarıçiçek Mountain), Erzincan (Sansa Strait), and Bingöl (Yedisu Valley) Provinces. We employed both direct observations and indirect observations. A total of 58 observations were recorded, ranging from 1176–3050 meters in altitude: six camera trap pictures, three thermal video camera images, three sightings by local people, 28 sets of tracks, 13 pieces of scat, two ground-scrapings, and three tree-scratches belonging to the Anatolian leopard. We defined eight habitat types and found that leopards preferred sparse forest areas, rocky habitats, and agriculture and pasture regions the most. Furthermore, 49 of 58 observations made in the sampling areas were detected in the southerly aspects of the study region. The Anatolian leopard habitat selection is mainly based on prey abundance, and we found that leopards prefer wild boar (Sus scrofa) the most, followed by wild goat (Capra aegagrus), chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra), and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus).

LINES ABOUT CONSTITUTIONAL HEALING PROBLEM
Authors: Borges de Oliveira Emerson Ademir
Published: September 2020

Can the Constitution be healed? The aim of this article is the answer on how to deal with offenses committed in the face of the Constitution which are built on consolidated factual situations. Often the simple declaration of unconstitutionality, either from the beginning, the theory of nullity, or for the future, in annulability theory, or in conjunction both with the temporal modulation effects will not show positive responses to the constitutional offense. On the other hand, the recognition of unconstitutionality, although for the future, could lead to more harmful economic, political, social and legal effects than maintaining the offensive act. Sometimes the theory of constitutionalising supervening can respond appropriately, with the change of the constitutional paradigm. But what to do when the Constitution is even changed? The methodology for the development work is eminently literature and case law.

Em virtude das últimas tendências do Supremo Tribunal Federal em proferir decisões ativistas, que ultrapassam os limites textuais presentes no ordenamento jurídico, cumpre analisar o teor da decisão acerca da Ação Declaratória de Constitucionalidade (ADC) n. 41. A partir dessa questão, o presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os votos dos ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal no julgamento dessa ação à luz da teoria da argumentação jurídica de Neil MacCormick. Para se atingir tal finalidade, inicialmente, será feita uma breve explanação acerca da teoria da argumentação jurídica de MacCormick, focando principalmente nos argumentos interpretativos. Depois, serão analisados os argumentos proferidos pelos ministros em sede da ADC n. 41. Por fim, confrontar-se-á os requisitos de racionalidade argumentativa de MacCormick com a decisão como um todo. Por fim, chega-se à conclusão de que a decisão como um todo preenche os requisitos de racionalidade apresentados, contudo, ao analisar alguns votos específicos isso não ocorre.

O desenvolvimento da agricultura, baseado hoje no uso indiscriminado de agrotóxicos, criou uma nova realidade em que a dependência da própria tecnologia representa um risco futuro, na medida em que não se pode precisar até que ponto ela irá compensar os passivos ambientais criados para o seu desenvolvimento. Organizou-se o artigo a partir de teóricos que trabalham a temática da globalização policêntrica dos riscos ambientais e o difícil diálogo entre tecnologia, ciência, economia, política e meio ambiente para, com estes subsídios, observar o conflito entre produtores de uvas e produtores de soja do estado do Rio Grande do Sul sobre os efeitos da deriva do herbicida 2,4-D para cultivares de culturas sensíveis, como base fática para uma reflexão. A análise evidenciou que há um conflito que deixou de ser silencioso e que ganhou novos contornos ao envolver produtores agrícolas em lados opostos. As primeiras ações tomadas pelo Sistema Político remetem apenas ao aplicador do produto das lavouras de soja a responsabilidade, enquanto que, para a grande indústria produtora de agrotóxicos não recai nenhuma ação. Decisões como a de não responsabilizar o fabricante do herbicida 2,4-D pelos danos da deriva às culturas sensíveis são aceitas pelo fato de que a exigência posta pelo mercado não é uma exigência moral, mas sim, é institucionalizada e amparada pelo sistema legal e político.
The effects of squid-baiting pitfall traps for sampling wētā (Orthoptera) and other ground-dwelling forest invertebrates
Authors: Vergara OE , Nelson Nicola , Hartley Stephen
Published: September 2020

© 2020 Entomological Society of New Zealand. Pitfall traps are commonly used to sample surface-active invertebrates, although the efficiency of the technique varies among taxa. We investigated how baiting pitfall traps with squid influenced sampling of some ground-dwelling invertebrates in New Zealand forests. The study was conducted across a total of 21 sets of seven lethal pitfall traps established between November 2012 and November 2015 in Aorangi and Remutaka forests. Four non-baited and three squid-baited lethal pitfall traps were established per set and remained active for one night during November/December and three nights during February. Squid-baited pitfall traps caught four times as many ground wētā and three times more cave wētā per unit effort than unbaited traps. Most of the ground wētā were identified as Hemiandrus pallitarsis (Walker, 1869). Carabidae, Scarabaeidae, Staphylinidae, Opiliones, Hymenoptera and Araneae were also more abundant in squid-baited than in unbaited traps. There was little difference in the catches of peripheral pitfall traps versus central pitfall traps, suggesting that 5 m spacing is sufficient to generate independent samples. Exceptions were Araneae and Amphipoda which were both approximately 1.5 times more abundant in central compared to peripheral unbaited traps. The attraction of ground and cave wētā to squid provides some insight into their dietary range. The higher catches obtained with squid-baiting, suggests this may be a useful modification to increase sampling rates, which is valuable where sampling effort is logistically constrained such as on islands or other remote study sites.

Telapak tangan merupakan ciri unik yang dimiliki oleh manusia yang dapat digunakan pada sistem identifikasi. Proses template matching membutuhkan perhitungan pencocokan untuk menentukan bagian kecil gambar yang memiliki nilai terbesar dikarenakan semakin besar nilai maka tingkat kecocokan semakin tinggi. Sehingga untuk pencocokan dibutuhkan perhitungan normalized cross correlation dengan perhitungan konvolusi yang setiap bagian pixel akan dilakukan pencocokan, diawali dari pixel bagian pojok kiri atas hingga pojok kanan bawah dan akan mendapatkan nilai pencocokan terbesar.Setelah mendapat nilai terbesar dilakukan k-nearest neighbor yang merupakan pengelompokan berdasarkan jarak dan untuk menentukan jarak k digunakan perhitungan euclidien distance. Selanjutnya pengelompokan berdasarkan voting terbanyak yang dimulai dari nilai jarak ketetanggaan terkecil hingga terbesar. Tingkat akurasi pengujian dari 30 sampel telapak tangan didapatkan presentase sebesar 86,67% teridentifikasi benar dan 13,33% salah.
The spectre of historical crop losses: Challenging questions and methodological issues
Authors: Queiroz Ana Isabel , Gomes Inês , Amorim Inês
Published: September 2020

Calamities in agricultural production have emerged as a relevant research topic for global food security in the current context of adaptation to climate change. Historians have been participating in this research by examining crop losses in the past. However, they face challenging questions and methodological issues when evaluating the magnitude, intensity and social relevance of damages caused by adverse climate events and plant pests and diseases. This paper presents a review of some aspects that lead to harvest failures, along with three case studies involving Portuguese territories in modern times, based on the scientific interest and research of the authors. A few methodological considerations are also provided concerning decryption and the use of available data, to help avoid misinterpretations in future research on the topic.

Application of dialle analysis in the study of the combination ability of corn
Authors: Zaytsev Sergey Aleksandrovich
Published: September 2020

The article discusses the results of the use of diallelic analysis in the study of self-pollinated lines of corn. The average grain yield of self-pollinated lines (2,30 – 2,84 t/ha), as well as the average group indicators of hybrids (3,29 – 5,49 t/ha) were noted. The effects of general and variance of the specific combining ability of the lines were revealed. Ranking by grain yield allowed us to arrange the lines in the following sequence: CL 7 <MK 130 U <RSK 25 <PH26 <Yk12D2, Om 255 <MK 11 <Ch46 <Bg1266 <LV32 <RSK 7 <Yuv 19 <RSK 3 <Om232, KS 25 <Od 28. The results of the analysis of the combining ability of self-pollinated maize lines indicate a low value of the GCA effects in the lines of CL 7, Ch46 and a high effect of GCA in the lines of RSK 7, MK11, RSK 3. Significantly significant indicators of the components of dominance (H1, H2.), in absolute value exceed the values of component D, characterizing the additive effect of genes. The difference between the total average trait of all offspring (ml1) and the average parental forms (ml0) has positive values, which indicates that dominance is directed towards the parental forms with a greater severity of the trait. An analysis of the components indicates that, depending on the growing conditions, 2–7 genes or groups of genes affect the manifestation of grain yield. In 2016-2017 The paratypical component of dispersion had a significant effect on grain yield (E).
Advancing Emergency Nurses’ Leadership and Practice through Informatics
Authors: Picard Christopher , Kleib Manal
Published: September 2020

Collection of data in healthcare is vitally important to inform healthcare resource planning and monitor effectiveness of care. The Canadian Emergency Department information System and Canadian Triage Acuity Scale are primary tools for collecting such data. Although emergency nurses use these tools to collect significant patient and healthcare data on daily basis, their understanding of the purposes and implications for collecting these data is sub-optimal. Furthermore, emergency nurses’ awareness about informatics, and the limited representation in information and communication technology strategic initiatives and research within Canadian emergency nursing are some barriers preventing nurses from realizing the full benefits of information and communication technology to improve patient and system outcomes, and nursing knowledge development. The National Emergency Nurses Association is well positioned to provide the leadership required to move nurses from being data collectors, to information users by maximizing their potential to advance Canadian emergency nursing practice through informatics.
H-infinity Sliding Mode Controller Design for a Human Swing Leg System
Authors: Ali Hazem I. , Abdulridha Azhar Jabbar
Published: September 2020

In this paper, the H-infinity Sliding Mode Control (HSMC) is designed to produce a new dynamic output feedback controller for trajectory tracking of the nonlinear human swing leg system. The human swing leg system represents the support of human leg or the humanoid robot leg which is usually modeled as a double pendulum. The thigh and shank of a human leg is represented by two pendulum links and the hip joint will connect the upper body to the thigh and the knee joint will connect the thigh to the shank. The external torques (servo motors) are applied at the hip and knee joints to move the muscles of thigh and shank. The results show that the HSMC can robustly stabilize the system and achieve a desirable time response specification better than if only H-infinity or SMC is used. This controller achieves the following specifications:  sec,  for hip joint and sec, for knee joint.
