Experimental studies on a circular open caisson
Authors: Chavda Jitesh T. , Dodagoudar Goudappa R.
Published: November 2020

The resistance offered by the soil to the cutting edge of a caisson and soil flow around the cutting edge will vary continuously during sinking. In this study, a series of 1g model tests have been carried out to investigate the load–penetration response and the soil flow mechanism in sand around the cutting edge of a circular open caisson. Full- and half-open caisson tests have been conducted considering different tapered angles of the cutting edge. The load–penetration response is investigated using the full-open caisson tests with different (a) tapered angles of the cutting edge, (b) types of penetration and (c) depths of sinking. The soil flow mechanism is investigated using the half-open caisson tests with different (a) tapered angles of the cutting edge, (b) magnitudes of penetration and (c) depths of sinking. The soil flow mechanism is evaluated using image-based deformation measurement techniques. The results of the study presented in the form of load–penetration response and soil flow mechanism are useful in addressing the interaction between the cutting edge of the caisson and soil during the sinking operation.
Getting Tired of Massive Journal Usage Statistics: A Case Study on Engineering Journal Usage Analysis Using K-Means Clustering
Authors: Zhang Qianjin
Published: November 2020

It would be challenging for engineering librarians who are responsible for both collection management and public service to review massive usage statistics on a regular basis. In order to tackle this challenge, we initiated a case study of measuring engineering journal usage in an alternative approach. The dataset was extracted from a data analytics company’s journal usage statistics report prepared for the University of Libraries. We decided to reuse data from their report because it would save us time in data consolidation. We segmented a total of 821 journal titles into four clusters using K-Means clustering technique where the first cluster of 38 titles with a high number of publications, citations and downloads; the second cluster of 142 titles with a low number of publications but a moderate number of citations and a high number of downloads; the third cluster of titles with a low number of publications and citations but a moderate number of downloads; the forth cluster of titles with a low number of publications, citations and downloads.

In conclusion, our case study of measuring engineering journal usage converted massive journal usage statistics into four clusters of journal titles in a straightforward format. The clusters of journal titles also provided us with a comprehensive view on how engineering journals had been used by both authors and users of our institution in the most recent four years. Last but not the least, this case study showed a possibility of implementing data analytics in academic libraries.
The Origin of Arbitration Law in South Africa
Authors: Rantsane Ditaba Petrus
Published: November 2020

This article seeks to trace the historical origin of arbitration as it is currently practised in South Africa. The resort to alternative dispute resolution methods has existed since time immemorial. The practice of arbitration was identified in the Bible when it was practised by King Solomon. South African traditional communities practised arbitration before the arrival of Western nations in South Africa, who brought with them their norms and practices. The community entrusted the responsibility of resolving disputes amicably to the headman, the Chief or the King. The practice of traditional alternative disputes resolution was disrupted by colonialism, which introduced Roman-Dutch law and subsequently English law influences. The aim of the parties under both Roman-Dutch law and English law was to steer their disputes away from courtrooms with their rigid rules and procedures. Hence the resort to arbitration. Through the passage of time, the parties lost respect for arbitration. Judicial intervention became a necessary tool to enforce the agreement to arbitrate or the subsequent award.
A concern was raised in some quarters regarding the South African arbitration legislation that stagnated in 1965 when it was enacted. The sophisticated legal system and the impartial and independent judiciary, provided a strong support to arbitration and its autonomy. The firm judicial support did not detract from the necessity for a complete overhaul of the arbitration prescript, which might position South Africa as the hub of commercial arbitration in Africa and globally. The enactment of the International Arbitration Act, 2017 marked a great milestone towards achieving that goal. Arbitration is embedded in the fabric of South African commercial dispute resolution.
Mechanosensitive enteric neurons: incidence and abundance in the porcine submucosal plexus with ultrafast neuroimaging and immunhistochemical techniques v1
Authors: Mazzuoli-Weber Gemma , Elfers Kristin , Katharina Filzmayer Anna
Published: November 2020

This protocol is to investigate the sensitivity of enteric neurons to mechanical stimulation in the inner submucosal plexus of the porcine colon using ultrafast neuroimaging and immunhistochemical techniques. Ultrafast neuroimaging technique combined with a voltage sensitive dye was used to characterize neuronal responses to mechanical stimuli compression and tension. Immunohistochemistry was subsequently used to determine the neurochemical coding of mechanosensitive submucosal neurons.
Going Nordic in European Administrative Networks?
Authors: Schrama Reini , Martinsen Dorte Sindbjerg , Mastenbroek Ellen
Published: November 2020

The integration and policymaking of the European Union (EU) are claimed to challenge Nordic cooperation as a separate ‘common order.’ Increasing interdependencies in the EU have forced all EU member states to collaborate and share sovereignty in an increasing number of policy areas. This article studies the coexistence of Nordic cooperation and European integration by taking a network approach. It analyses the extent to which Nordic members of European Administrative Networks ‘go Nordic’ to solve problems or exchange advice, information and best practices. Based on unique survey data on interactions related to the implementation of EU policies in Social Policy, Health and the Internal Market by national governmental organisations across the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA), we use social network analysis to test for distinguishable patterns of Nordic cooperation. We find evidence to suggest that Nordic cooperation in the EU and EEA is best characterised by differentiated integration. The Nordic states tend to form a separate community for problem-solving and exchanging best practices, advice and information in Health and Social policy networks, but less so in SOLVIT, a network related to the Internal Market.
Public Administration and the Study of Political Order: Towards a Framework for Analysis
Authors: Trondal Jarle
Published: November 2020

The contribution of this study is two-fold: First, it outlines a conceptual framework on political order; and secondly, it offers empirical illustrations on the case of Nordic cooperation. Taken together, the article makes a plea for public administration scholarship in the study of political order. Political order consists of a relatively stable arrangement of institutions that are fairly formalized and institutionalized. A common political order, moreover, entails that relevant institutions: (i) are fairly independent of pre-existing institutions; (ii) are relatively integrated and internally cohesive; and (iii) are reasonably able to influence governance processes within other institutions. The article empirically suggests that Nordic-level institutions are less likely to act relatively integrated and independently of member-state governments as well as being able to wield significant influence on public governance processes within member-state institutions.
Introducing the Study of Nordic Cooperation
Authors: Stie Anne Elizabeth , Trondal Jarle
Published: November 2020

To rediscover Nordic cooperation this article develops a ‘conceptual grammar’ that provides general theoretical ‘images’ of cooperation that are systematically applied. Being supplementary analytical constructs, moreover, these images capture great variety and differentiation in Nordic cooperation. Next, this article provides a review of two sets of literature that are of particular relevance to this thematic issue. The first is a broader literature on European integration. The second is studies of Nordic cooperation. The article closes with an overview of the contributions to this thematic issue.

The study of interaction between surface viral proteins and model phospholipids is important for learning more details about the mechanisms of viral penetration into cells during infection. In this context, liposomes represent suitable systems for modeling a cell membrane. The binding of hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza virus with phosphatidylcholine liposomes was studied by equilibrium adsorption. It was interesting elucidate changes occurring in the structure of a protein during its translocation from the surface into the interior part of the membrane. In this work, we have studied characteristics of the protein-lipid interaction during HA complex formation with phospholipids including adsorption of HA on a phospholipid bilayer. Using the Scatchard equation and the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation at pH 4.0 and pH 6.0 thermodynamic parameters were determined. The results concluded the hydrophobic type of interaction between viral protein and liposomes. The additional confirmation of hydrophobic protein-lipid interaction presence was determination of HA distribution constants in two-phase systems: dextran-polyethylene glycol (K1) and dextran-polyethylene glycol esterified with palmitic acid (K2). The presence of hydrophobic interaction between HA and the liposome membrane was also confirmed using the quenching method of intrinsic protein fluorescence by a neutral quencher with acrylamide. At pH 4.0, an increase in the Stern-Volmer quenching constant was observed for the HA+liposome from phosphatidylcholine system, which is caused by structural changes in HA upon incorporation into the liposome bilayer. The fluorescence quenching rate constants calculated using the Stern-Volmer equation indicate a static quenching mechanism in which the quencher interacts with fluophors of a stationary protein molecule. The obtained results are interesting for not only studying virus and cell fusion theoretically, but also have practical applications. Using values of the protein-bilayer binding constant and free energy constant, it is possible to select the optimal phospholipid composition of liposomes or virosomes to obtain a stronger complex with various viral proteins. With two-phase systems, it is possible to determine the presence of hydrophobic sites on the viral protein surface, which can be used for evaluation both protein-lipid and protein-protein interaction.

O ensino superior não deve ignorar que deve pensar-se como integrando um sistema educativo e que, como tal, deve abarcar um amplo conjunto de aspetos que influenciam não só o desenvolvimento pessoal e social do aluno mas, também, o desenvolvimento global da sociedade, que obviamente, depende dos conhecimentos científicos e técnicos mas igualmente da qualidade do desenvolvimento psicossocial dos que frequentam as instituições universitárias ou equivalentes. A presente investigação pretende dar um contributo para a compreensão de uma das dimensões do desenvolvimento psicossocial – a autonomia – investigando alguns dos fatores pessoais e contextuais que possam contribuir para uma melhor compreensão sobre esta dimensão do desenvolvimento dos estudantes de enfermagem. Participaram no presente estudo1029 estudantes que frequentavam os quatro anos do Curso de Licenciatura de Enfermagem, sendo 85.5% do sexo feminino e 14.7% do sexo masculino. A média de idades foi de 20.8 anos (DP=3.34). Os resultados sugerem que os estudantes tendem a revelar um sentimento de pertença e integração na instituição por eles frequentada e perceber o ambiente institucional como estimulante, ainda que, neste estudo, sobressaia um envolvimento especialmente virado às atividades que mais se relacionam com os estudos especificamente do curso e menos com as extracurriculares.

Przestępstwo polityczne jako kategoria prawnokarna
Authors: Kuczur Tomasz
Published: November 2020

Przestępstwa polityczne, mimo że „wprost” nie zostały przez ustawodawcę określone we współczesnym rozwiązaniu kodeksowym z 6 czerwca 1997 r., stanowią określony „zestaw” czynów zabronionych, podejmowanych przez sprawcę w określonych uwarunkowaniach politycznych i społecznych. Ustawodawca w kodeksie karnym z 6 czerwca 1997 r. wyodrębnił stany faktyczne czynów skierowanych przeciwko państwu (podobnie w k.k. z 1969 r. i k.k. z 1932 r.), które noszą znamiona czynów karalnych o charakterze politycznym. W okresie dwudziestolecia międzywojennego czyny zostały dookreślone w dwóch rozporządzeniach Prezydenta RP z lat 1928 i 1934, penalizujących przestępstwo szpiegostwa oraz w kodeksie karnym z 1932 r. Typizacja tych czynów nie miała charakteru zbyt skomplikowanego i była dość jednorodna. Po roku 1944/1945 w doktrynie komunistycznego prawa karnego ukształtował się termin: przestępstwo kontrrewolucyjne. Charakter tzw. dekretów rozliczeniowych z lat 1944–1946 zdominował interpretacje tego pojęcia do roku 1956. Po przełomie październikowym inaczej traktowano ten czyn zabroniony. Nastąpiło wówczas odejście od hiperkryminalizacji i hiperpenalizacji podobnych zachowań na rzecz utrzymywania się tendencji prokryminalizacyjnych i propenalizacyjnych. Doktrynalne rozważania na temat ujmowania czynów określanych jako przestępstwo kontrrewolucyjne zdominowały w tym czasie jego charakterystykę kryminalną. Czyn kontrrewolucyjny był zawsze czynem politycznym. Wtłoczenie do systemu prawnego państwa kodeksu karnego z 1969 r. uporządkowało katalog czynów politycznych skierowanych przeciwko państwu. Określono je, już w nazwie rozdziału kodeksu karnego z 1969 r., jako przestępstwa przeciwko interesom politycznym i gospodarczym państwa. Po przełomie roku 1989 i zapoczątkowaniu procesu dekonstrukcji systemowej, przed ustawodawcą stanęło wyzwanie związane z rehabilitacją osób skazanych za działalność (polityczną) na rzecz niepodległego bytu państwa polskiego oraz zagadnienie rozliczenia wcześniejszej kryminalnej (politycznej) działalności państwowej. Wreszcie w kodeksie karnym z 1997 r. ponownie stypizowano w art. 127–137 (9) katalog czynów skierowanych przeciwko państwu, które należy określić jako przestępstwa polityczne.

The objective of this work was to determine the values of zoometric variables that define the Creole Goat of South Mendoza (Mendoza province, Argentina). Samples were taken at commercial goat farms located in South and North regions and in seven locations of San Rafael and Malargue departments of Mendoza. Eight hundred and thirty five Creole goats were sampled, with ages from two teeth up to tooth cutter, using the method proposed by FAO (2000). The variables studied were Head width (HW), Head length (HL), Height to the end of Neck (HN), Thoracic perimeter (TP), Body length (BL), Rump width (RW); Height to the Rump (HR) and Shank Perimeter (SP). The variables were analyzed using multivariate techniques principal components, discriminants, canonical populations) and clusters based on Euclídeus distances and their graphic representation as dendrograms. The results showed that all variables followed a normal distribution. In turn, uniformity in the variables was found, since Coefficient of Variation was lower than 9% in all cases. The variables that best describe the model were HN, TP, RW, SP and HN, which represent 50% of the total data variability. The dendogram showed two mixed groups where variables of locations of North and South regions were found, finding the smallest eucledian distance among locations of the South region. The Figure of the Analysis of Principal Components showed that dispersion of the variables behaves in an homogeneous way, without generating groups or subpopulations. Variable homogeneity found in this work would allow to assume that the Creole Goats of the South Mendoza would belong to a common genetic stem that would characterize them as members of a defined racial group.
Correlation of speech research and functional stylistics: transdisciplinary approach to suggesting a hypothesis
Authors:   Perm State National Research University, Kotyurova Maria P.
Published: November 2020

The article represents a hypothesis about the correlation of terms “functional stylistics”, “discourse analysis”, “speech research”, “scientific functional style” and “individual scientific style”. The transdiscipline approach to suggesting a hypothesis is correlated with the use of different methodological items such as imposition, abstractiveness, gradualness, fractal based on dialectical logics, functional stylistics, stylistics of scientific individual speech, mathematics (geometry). The imposition relations are represented with the spherical model based on the anthropocentric approach which takes into account remoteness from man.

Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the study of the symbolic meaning of the image of the ring in the play by N.S. Gumilyov “Child of Allah”. The cultural semantics of “Solomon’s ring”, its rootedness in the traditions of the East, are traced. It is concluded that the ring in the play serves as a connecting link between the divine name and poetic inspiration. The article first pointed to a number of uses of the ring in Ancient Iran. Such a diverse semiotics of the ring found its refraction in the play N.S. Gumilyov “The Child of Allah”. In this play, the ring plays a key role. The ring defines the world poles of good and evil. Performed by Oriental motifs, Gumilyov’s play at the same time does not repeat or develop any of the semantic definitions of the ring mentioned in the article. In the article we turn to the mysterious meaning of the ring in this work. Thus, the ring in the play “the Child of Allah” has an Association with the magic rings of Eastern fairy tales.

Este trabalho buscou evidenciar a disputa pela educação básica no jogo dos empresários no mercado mundial do conhecimento, apreendendo o modus operandi da empresa internacional de consultoria McKinsey & Company na consolidação de vínculos estratégicos com intelectuais orgânicos que protagonizam o movimento mundializado de reforma empresarial da educação básica. Alicerçado no materialismo histórico e, mais especificamente, no conceito gramsciano de intelectual orgânico, verificou-se que uma poderosa indústria especializada em assuntos educacionais impulsiona um processo de mercantilização via consultocracia em rede. Nessa direção, tendo em vista a lógica de reformas empresariais para a educação básica que são exportadas mundialmente, com base na unidade forma e conteúdo que envolve as estratégias de consultocracia em rede e os fundamentos da eficácia gerencialista, identificou-se que a McKinsey divulga sua expertise em assuntos educacionais por meio dos seus relatórios sobre sistemas escolares, buscando criar demanda para a venda dos seus pacotes de soluções educacionais.
Mercantilização da educação, escola pública e trabalho educativo
Authors: Martins André Silva , Pina Leonardo Docena
Published: November 2020

O presente texto se fundamenta no materialismo histórico e na pedagogia histórico-crítica para analisar o significado da mercantilização da educação e apreender suas repercussões nas escolas públicas do Brasil contemporâneo. O que significa mercantilização da educação? Quais processos político-econômicos condicionam a mercantilização da educação? Quais são as repercussões desse projeto no trabalho educativo? Na tentativa de responder essas questões, o texto comprova que a mercantilização da educação deve ser entendida como um projeto político-ideológico da classe empresarial que se destina a reduzir o direito social à educação a mero serviço mercantil integrado à dinâmica do “mundo dos negócios”, envolvendo a produção da sociabilidade e o incremento do ciclo de reprodução do capital. Não obstante, esse projeto redefine o trabalho educativo: de ação intencional que se destina à formação de humanidade através da transmissão das formas mais desenvolvidas do conhecimento científico, filosófico e artístico à atividade voltada ao treinamento de competências consideradas úteis ao cotidiano dos estudantes.

Authors: Dwijayanti Rahmidha
Published: November 2020

Introduction: In December 31, 2019, China gave bad news the World Health Organization (WHO) throughtout an outbreak of a mysterious pneumonia characteristic in Wuhan, which is located in Hubei Province with 11 million people. On 1 January 2020, the source of the Coronavirus outbreak is a seafood market that has been closed. The Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan City, where the virus was first detected, fit that description to a tee, with vendors illegally trading in wild and exotic animals alongside the daily ocean catch. Discussion: This literature review retrieved the articles from databases such as Springer, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The articles on preventing were 17 articles and curbing were 15 articles. The literatur review is a critical and in-depth evaluation of previous research to obtain important information about the dangers of the corona virus and the important of preventing and curbing the corona virus. Guidance regarding personal protective equipment in infection prevention and control is provided by WHO. Goggles and face shield must always be used to protect against potential hazards, and health workers don’t touch mucous membranes (eyes, nose or mouth). Conclusion: Recommendations for preventing health and preventing Covid19 are: limiting physical contact or being in a room with people without symptoms, covering the mouth with a tissue when sneezing or coughing and then throwing the tissue into the trash. If there are no tissues, use your sleeves to avoid liquids or droplets on other people or sticking to nearby objects, do not travel to the red zone against the spread of Covid19, rub hands properly for 20 seconds with soap and water, If it is quite difficult to find water, it is advisable to always have a Hand Sanitizer with an alcohol content of at least 60% which is believed to be able to kill germs. Recommendation for curbing the spread the Covid19 include: lockdown, stay at home, and physical inactivity.
Making sense of a sense of place: precision viticulture approaches to the analysis of terroir at different scales
Authors: Bramley Robert G. V. , Ouzman Jackie , Trought Mike C.T.
Published: November 2020

Traditional ‘terroir zoning’ has largely relied on heuristic ‘expert’ opinion coupled with approaches to land classification based on thematic mapping to describe the influence of soil conditions and climate on wine composition. Recent advances in geographical information systems (GIS) and digital mapping have enabled more robust quantitative methods to be developed, but with few exceptions recent terroir research has remained reliant on heuristic opinion and conformity to previously defined terroir units, rather than employing data-driven approaches. Using two case studies at regional scale, the aim of this paper is to illustrate how the use of methods of quantitative spatial analysis, as used to guide understanding of production system variability and to underpin precision viticulture (PV), may assist in better understanding terroir at a range of scales.
In the Barossa region of Australia, cluster analysis of indices of soil physical and chemical fertility (available water capacity and cation exchange capacity), with critical climate variables (growing season rainfall, mean January temperature and growing degree days), clearly delineates differences between the Barossa and Eden Valleys but does not robustly promote further sub-division. Meanwhile, in the Marlborough region of New Zealand, interpolation of data supplied by wine companies from over 450 vineyards over several seasons suggests a consistent and characteristic regional ‘terroir’ in terms of vine yield and harvest date. Similarly consistent results were obtained for sub-regions of the Wairau Valley and a comparison of the Wairau and Awatere valleys. Thus, with scale-dependent modification, the methods of spatial analysis used to underpin PV and studies of within-vineyard variability offer much potential for terroir analysis and the identification of terroir zones. Importantly, these methods are unbiased, data-driven, and not reliant on heuristic opinion.

This paper proposes a contact force controller for a constrained flexible manipulator in three-dimensional motion. This controller used the conversion formula obtained empirically and experimental results showed the effectiveness of the proposed contact force controller. First, the manipulator was operated with the tip of the second link restrained, then, time response of the root strain, joint angles and contact force were used to derive the relational between the three quantities. The effectiveness of the relational expression was verified by conducting a target contact force tracking experiment by inputting the angle from the relational expression. The contact force control using the strain feedback method was proposed with the strain amount estimated from the target contact force as the target value, and its effectiveness was verified by experiments. From the results obtained, controller using the strain feedback method was designed for the purpose of controlling the contact force at the tip of a flexible manipulator with two links and three degrees of freedom that performs three-dimensional spatial motion, and its effectiveness was shown by comparison with the contact force feedback method.

Published: November 2020

Targeted Protein Silencing (TPS) is an elegant approach to investigate protein function and its role in the cellular landscape, overcoming limitations of genetic perturbation strategies. In contrast to CRISPR/Cas9 and RNA interference, these systems act in a reversible manner and reduce off-target effects. Several TPS have been developed and wisely improved, including compartment delocalization tools and protein degradation systems. In this review, we focus on Anchor-Away, deGradFP, auxin inducible degron (AID) and dTAG technologies, and discuss their recent applications and advances. Finally, we propose Nano-Grad, a novel nanobody-based protein degradation tool to specifically proteolyze endogenous tag-free target protein.

Published: November 2020

Based on NCEP FNL 1°*1° analysis data and Xinjiang meteorological bureau area numerical operation prediction, a local precipitation event in southern Xinjiang on June 26 was analyzed, and the results showed that the water vapor involved in this process originated from the northwestern Gangetic Plain and was transported along the Indus River plain and over the northwestern end of the mountains. Driven by the Iranian low-pressure trough, water vapor at 500 hPa was transported across the northwestern end of the Gangdise Mountains, past Georgoli Peak, and northwest over the Kunlun Mountains to arrive in southern Xinjiang.

This research described the fundamental inspiration behind the implementation of a humanistic approach to the principal's leadership and the steps of the principal's humanistic approach that have an impact on optimizing the implementation of the program for strengthening character education. This research used a qualitative approach, a case study design. The data collection was performed through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies to achieve the research objectives. Data analysis used a modified analytic analysis method. The level of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability was the basis of data validity. The research findings explained that personal excellence (integrity, wholeness, and self-authenticity) and the humanistic spirituality of inspirational figures inspired the principal’s humanistic approach. In addition, the application of the principal's humanistic approach had adequate impacts on optimizing the implementation of a program for strengthening character education and influenced the strengthening of the student's character. Through the principal's humanistic approach, school becomes an environment for empowering the character of the students.
Mechanism of Action of Atypical Antipsychotic Drugs in Mood Disorders
Authors: Grinchii Daniil , Dremencov Eliyahu
Published: November 2020

Atypical antipsychotic drugs were introduced in the early 1990th. Unlike typical antipsychotics, which are effective only against positive symptoms of schizophrenia, atypical antipsychotics show effectiveness against negative and cognitive symptoms as well. Furthermore, they are effective not only in psychotic, but also in affective disorders, by their own or as adjuncts to antidepressant drugs. While typical antipsychotics act, almost exclusively, via dopamine-2 (D2) receptors, atypical target serotonin-1A/1B/2A/2C (5-HT1A/1B/2A/2C), α1/2-adrenergic, and/or histamine-1 (H1) receptors as well. Blocking of 5-HT1A/1B autoreceptors, inducing their early desensitization, and/or activation of α1-adrenoceptors, allow some atypical drugs to enhance 5-HT transmission. Blocking of 5-HT2A/2C and/or α2-adrenoceptors enable some atypical antipsychotics to stimulate catecholamine transmission and/or diminish the inhibition of catecholamine neurons induced by some antidepressants. It is possible, that the activation of H1 and/or blocking of H3 boost monoamine transmission as well, via a mechanism involving stimulation of firing activity of dopamine neurons. The experimental drugs with antipsychotic potential, acting on adenosine and trace amino associated (TAAR) receptors, might be effective in mood disorders as well, because of the ability to modulate the excitability of monoamine-secreting neurons and to potentiate extracellular concentrations of monoamines in the limbic areas of the brain.
A Comparative Produced Water Management Decision Making WorkFlow: MSEEL Case Study
Authors: Dickerson Clayton , Mirabolghasemi Maryam
Published: November 2020

Currently the most common practice for produced water management is disposal through injection into Class IID wells with minimal treatment. This option is costly and risky, especially for wells that are located far from the nearest disposal well. Under these circumstances, treating the produced water for reuse becomes an appealing option. This study investigates disposal and treatment options in detail to determine the economic feasibility of each treatment option compared to the available disposal option.

We used water production and well data from Marcellus Shale Energy and Environment Laboratory (MSEEL) to build a case study for the assessment of disposal, and membrane desalination options. We collected other necessary information such as disposal well location and desalination parameters from the Environmental Protection Agency and previously published papers. We investigated the following high salinity water treatment methods: high pressure reverse osmosis (HPRO), electrodialysis (ED), and direct contact membrane desalination (DCMD).

Under the assumptions of our study, we found that disposal costs less than HPRO and DCMD. ED, on the other hand, is less expensive than disposal and provides more flexibility in terms of the quality of the produced permeate. Our results also show that if the disposal well is farther than 100 miles from the MSEEL well pad, DCMD becomes more cost-efficient than disposal. As the salinity of the MSEEL produced water drops, the cost of HPRO and ED also decreases.

Produced water treatment reduces truck traffic and lowers the spill risk, emissions, and road wear. However, treatment options must be economically evaluated for each well to determine their feasibility. Our findings may serve as a guideline for economic evaluation of produced water management solutions.
Reduced-Order Modeling in a General Reservoir Simulation Setting

Published: November 2020

Reduced-order modeling can lead to computational savings in reservoir management applications when many related models must be simulated, as is the case, for example, in production optimization. In this study, we implement two reduced-order modeling procedures into our in-house simulator AD-GPRS (Automatic Differentiation General Purpose Research Simulator). The methods considered are a POD-Only (proper orthogonal decomposition) technique and a Gauss-Newton with approximated tensors (GNAT) procedure. Both approaches entail offline (training runs plus preprocessing) and online (runtime) computations. Typically, around 3-5 training runs are performed with these methods. POD-Only involves expensive online matrix multiplications, which greatly limit the attainable speedup. GNAT, by contrast, entails much less costly runtime computations. The methods are applied to a 2D oil-water model and to a 3D, four- component, oil-gas compositional case. These models contain 13,000 and 4800 grid blocks, respectively. Some amount of numerical experimentation is required to determine the appropriate POD-Only and GNAT parameters. We show that, using parameters that provide accurate reduced-order model results, POD-Only is actually slower than the full-order AD-GPRS simulations, but GNAT provides typical speedups of about a factor of 2-3 for the cases considered. More substantial speedup is achieved in some compositional cases for which AD-GPRS encounters numerical difficulties. Application of POD-Only and GNAT on locally refined versions of the original models is, however, found to require more computational effort than expected. This issue, which may be due to our detailed numerical treatments, should be addressed in future work.
