To reduce lithium–induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (lithium-NDI), patients with bipolar disorder are treated with thiazide and amiloride, which are thought to induce antidiuresis by a compensatory increase in prourine uptake in proximal tubules. However, thiazides induced antidiuresis and alkalinized the urine in lithium-NDI mice lacking the sodium-chloride cotransporter, suggesting that inhibition of carbonic anhydrases (CAs) confers the beneficial thiazide effect. Therefore, we tested the effect of the CA–specific blocker acetazolamide in lithium-NDI. In collecting duct (mpkCCD) cells, acetazolamide reduced the cellular lithium content and attenuated lithium-induced downregulation of aquaporin-2 through a mechanism different from that of amiloride. Treatment of lithium-NDI mice with acetazolamide or thiazide/amiloride induced similar antidiuresis and increased urine osmolality and aquaporin-2 abundance. Thiazide/amiloride-treated mice showed hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, hypercalcemia, metabolic acidosis, and increased serum lithium concentrations, adverse effects previously observed in patients but not in acetazolamide-treated mice in this study. Furthermore, acetazolamide treatment reduced inulin clearance and cortical expression of sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 and attenuated the increased expression of urinary PGE2 observed in lithium-NDI mice. These results show that the antidiuresis with acetazolamide was partially caused by a tubular-glomerular feedback response and reduced GFR. The tubular-glomerular feedback response and/or direct effect on collecting duct principal or intercalated cells may underlie the reduced urinary PGE2 levels with acetazolamide, thereby contributing to the attenuation of lithium-NDI. In conclusion, CA activity contributes to lithium-NDI development, and acetazolamide attenuates lithium-NDI development in mice similar to thiazide/amiloride but with fewer adverse effects.
The Relationship between Transformational Leadership and Organizational Commitment in Nonprofit Long Term Care Organizations: The Direct Care Worker Perspective
Authors: Porter Jeanette A.
Published: November 2015

The United States population is rapidly aging, and retaining direct care workers (DCWs) will continue to be a workforce concern for the industry in addressing the demand for long term care services. To date, scant literature exists that addresses the DCW perspective of leadership behaviors and their influence on organizational commitment. To respond to this deficiency, this research studied leadership behaviors of direct importance for DCWs at the immediate supervisor level, and provided empirical insight into organizational commitment among workers closest to patient care. Research on leader behaviors has focused on managerial and executive levels, with scant consideration in long term care at the lower hierarchical levels. Transformational leadership was hypothesized to have a significant positive relationship with organizational commitment, specifically affective and normative commitments, and a significant inverse relationship with continuance commitment. The quantitative correlational study explored the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment among 322 direct care workers employed by nonprofit, multi-level long term care organizations located in the Midwest. Results revealed a statistically significant relationship between overall transformational leadership and organizational commitment as well as affective and normative commitment dimensions, with no significant relationship found between transformational leadership and continuance commitment. The study results are beneficial to industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers for addressing operational policies, leadership training, human resource practices, and workforce policy development. Operational policies should reflect the values of the organization and follow from a compelling, collective vision and mission. Human resources practices warrant review if not aligned with the vision, mission, and values. Leadership development training should considered for continuing education for supervisors at all levels as well as for potential policy alternatives.

Published: November 2015

The article presents the experience of designing the educational module "Special and Developmental Teaching" of School Psychology Master’s program. The modular-sized program includes practical training and research activity in each module in a networking, it complies with Federal State Educational Standard and professional teaching and educational psychology standarts. Practice-oriented education Master’s training model based on the activity and competence approaches is productive. We have shown the advantages of networking and the need to divert more resources towards practical training and to include research activity in particular module. It is necessary to teach educational psychologists not only to "know", but also to "knows how", to have professional thinking and metasubject competencies, to have the capacity for reflection, i. e. to operate in an uncertain environment for new schemes on the basis of the scientific method. It is important that the modular principle design allows adding training subjects from one of educational program to other and so developing new programs.

Palabra creadora y visión poética del mundo. Los comienzos de la fantasía épica en C. S. Lewis
Authors: Gutiérrez Bautista Omar David
Published: November 2015

La enorme difusión de la serie de libros Las Crónicas de Narnia del autor británico C. S. Lewis, invita al estudio de la calidad artística de la obra que forma parte de los comienzos de la fantasía épica; no sólo porque representa un hito en la historia literaria, sino porque sigue siendo una expresión de necesidades humanas fundamentales que, si bien se ubicaron en la etapa de posguerra en el siglo XX, actualmente se observan en los grandes cuestionamientos de la posmodernidad. La crisis de los grandes relatos expresados generalmente por las religiones y la disolución cultural de grandes referentes literarios, producen un campo propicio para la aparición de obras literarias que, como Las Crónicas de Narnia, proponen una visión del mundo y un proyecto de futuro. En el presente trabajo analizaremos el valor artístico de El sobrino del mago (1955), libro con que se abre la colección de libros infantiles, como obra que propone una visión poética del mundo con el trasfondo religioso judeocristiano de la creación.
De la experiencia de la lectura a la educación literaria. Análisis de los componentes emocionales de la lectura literaria en la infancia y la adolescencia
Authors: Sanjuán Álvarez Marta
Published: November 2015

Esta investigación parte de la hipótesis de que las prácticas más habituales de educación literaria están poniendo el énfasis en los aspectos cognitivos del proceso lector y en la literatura como hecho cultural e histórico, a costa de marginar una faceta esencial en la relación entre la literatura y el lector: el componente emocional, la experiencia individual de la lectura. La finalidad principal es la de analizar, a partir de las opiniones de profesores y alumnos, cómo se vive la experiencia de la lectura literaria en la escuela. Se ha utilizado una metodología de investigación etnográfica en contextos educativos, con un diseño cualitativo-interpretativo. Los informantes han sido un grupo de jóvenes filólogos y un grupo de alumnos de Magisterio, todos ellos de la Universidad de Zaragoza, y un grupo de profesores de Literatura de Educación Secundaria de Aragón. Mediante entrevistas abiertas, grupos de discusión y cuestionarios semi-estructurados se han obtenido abundantes datos de carácter descriptivo, así como sobre creencias y percepciones de alumnos y profesores, que se han categorizado para su interpretación y que han confirmado, en términos generales, la hipótesis inicial.
La formación del lector como tema en la última narrativa infantil y juvenil
Authors: Ezpeleta Aguilar Fermín
Published: November 2015

Entre todas las potencialidades de la literatura infantil, una de las más importantes tiene que ver con la asimilación del código de la lengua y la adquisición de una correcta educación literaria. Tal objetivo se hace muy explícito en un conjunto de narraciones infantiles españolas de las dos últimas décadas en las que el aprendizaje de la lengua y la literatura es el propio tema de esos relatos. A partir del cotejo de unas setenta narraciones que contienen ese motivo temático, se presenta una visión panorámica, poniendo este material en relación con narrativas infantiles de otros países europeos de la misma época. Esbozamos una tipología de esta narrativa metalingüística y metaficcional, en la que encontramos relatos lúdicos con protagonistas letras, palabras, diccionarios o enciclopedias; relatos que dialogan con los grandes clásicos universales de la literatura; relatos que presentan como asunto métodos y actividades sobre lectura y educación literaria y; en fin, relatos más complejos en los que el concepto de educación lingüística y literaria sufre un entero proceso de alegorización. En los mejores ejemplos, sus autores dejan traslucir las claves de sus vocaciones literarias o de su manera de entender la creación literaria.
Literatura infantil y juvenil en internet: de la Cervantes Virtual a la LIJ 2.0.
Authors: Rovira Collado José
Published: November 2015

Ante las constantes innovaciones que nos ofrece internet y las transformaciones que estas suponen en el proceso de lectura, el siguiente estudio describe la situación actual de la Literatura Infantil y Juvenil (LIJ) en español en la red, a través de dos modelos, no opuestos sino complementarios. En primer lugar, los grandes portales y proyectos institucionales, como la sección de LIJ de la Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes, que nos ofrece textos clásicos, bibliotecas de autor y un importante aparato teórico. En segundo lugar, y bajo la definición de LIJ 2.0, todas las manifestaciones de la LIJ que podemos encontrar a través de las distintas opciones que nos ofrece la web social, más conocida como Web 2.0, donde la participación de los usuarios individuales y la interacción entre estos serán las características fundamentales. Blogs, Wikis o Redes Sociales serán los ejes de nuestro estudio para conocer la presencia de la LIJ y las posibles aplicaciones que nos ofrecen. Nuestro enfoque, desde la didáctica de la lengua y literatura, busca describir ambas realidades y las posibilidades específicas de cada herramienta para integrar el uso de la red con la difusión y el estudio de la LIJ.

A propósito de torres y de libros: la circularidad de las lecturas (de Borges a Rapunzel)
Authors: Martos Eloy
Published: November 2015

La torre, la casa, el cuerpo, el mundo... son metáforas en suma del universo cuya correlación (en especial, cuerpo-casa-mundo) ha puesto de evidencia Eliade. El libro, los libros que están en la torre del texto de Borges son en realidad las historias que pueblan nuestra imaginación, de ahí esa vinculación simbólica, que percibimos en los textos citados de Borges, en el poema de A. Machado, en el cuento de Rapunzel o en las leyendas de torres encantadas, igual que en las actuales narrativas transmediáticas tomadas como medios permeables con los clásicos y la cultura escrita en general.
Jóvenes y adolescentes hablan de lectura en la red
Authors: Lluch Gemma
Published: November 2015

Este artículo documenta los espacios virtuales que congregan diariamente a cientos de adolescentes y jóvenes entre 13 y 29 años para hablar de libros, lectura y de autores. En estos espacios intercambian lecturas, reseñan sus relatos preferidos en sus blogs, debaten sobre si el narrador es adecuado para la narración o se quejan de cómo se trata la lectura en la escuela. La investigación se ha realizado a partir del estudio de dos casos: los foros de Laura Gallego y la campaña de promoción de venta del libro Delirium, de la Editorial SM, a través de los blogs administrados por los adolescentes y de las redes sociales Twitter y Facebook. Se han analizado 1.466 documentos de 452 sujetos para conocer cómo son estos espacios y qué características tienen. Se han combinado niveles de análisis: observación, descripción densa y análisis textual y se han analizado tanto los discursos (posts, comentarios, tuits y comentarios en foros) como los escenarios (blog, foro y Twitter).  En esta investigación, las redes de comunicación virtual como el Twitter y los blogs se conciben como un fenómeno de comunicación social pero sobre todo como una herramienta para la promoción de la lectura entre los más jóvenes.
El desarrollo lector y su relación con la mejora de las competencias básicas
Authors: Quintanal José , García-Llamas José Luis
Published: November 2015

El trabajo de investigación-acción que presentamos, nos ofrece una serie de pautas  docentes para el diseño, ejecución y evaluación de un nuevo modelo de Unidades Didácticas para la mejora de actividad lectora, que asegure el desarrollo de esa competencia básica. Desde el departamento universitario de Métodos de Investigación en Educación se diseñó y evaluó este proyecto de investigación, que se llevó a cabo en colaboración con un Centro de Primaria de la provincia de Guadalajara. Durante dos años se preparó al profesorado para la elaboración de un material específico, que fue debidamente valorado y que se llevó a la práctica en los diferentes niveles de Educación Primaria. Mediante una evaluación pretest-postest se pudo demostrar, de forma empírica, el beneficio académico que supuso la experiencia, tanto para los alumnos como para los profesores y, de forma indirecta, para las familias, esta nueva forma de aprendizaje de la lectura escolar.
¿Qué leen los futuros maestros y maestras? Un estudio del docente como sujeto lector a través de los títulos de libros que evocan
Authors: Granado Cristina , Puig María
Published: November 2015

Existe cada vez más evidencia empírica sobre el hecho de que formar lectores requiere docentes lectores. Por un lado, la relación personal que los docentes mantienen con la lectura influye en el tipo de prácticas de educación lectora que ofrecen en su aula y, por otro, en las creencias que sobre el valor de la lectura mantienen y transmiten a sus estudiantes; esto es, hay una confluencia entre el sujeto lector y el sujeto didáctico que el enseñante es. En este trabajo se ha explorado el potencial que ofrece el estudio de los tres últimos títulos de libros que los futuros maestros y maestras declaran haber leído para comprender parte de su identidad como lectores. La muestra estuvo formada por más de mil estudiantes del último curso de Magisterio de tres universidades públicas. Los resultados revelan que mantienen una relación tibia con la lectura y una motivación extrínseca hacia la práctica lectora: son lectores inmaduros, de libros de moda de gran impacto mediático y de textos prescritos por sus estudios; se analiza también la representación que de la lectura se hacen a través de los títulos evocados. Se concluye acerca de la necesidad de abordar desde su formación inicial como maestros la tarea de reeducar su relación con la lectura.
La articulación de la expresión escrita
Authors: Pérez-Rodríguez José Henrique
Published: November 2015

En este trabajo se aportan argumentos lingüísticos a favor de la autonomía funcional de la expresión escrita. Esta presentaría una estructuración independiente de la oralidad que, sin embargo, descansaría sobre los mismos principios básicos, estando definida, fundamentalmente, por el carácter recurrente de los significantes. A diferencia de lo que sucede en la expresión oral, la recurrencia afecta de manera muy desigual a los diversos sistemas de escritura, aspecto que determina su diferente grado de precisión, que iría desde el que presentan las escrituras logográficas al que muestran las subfonológicas. Se propone denominar “resolución” esta variabilidad en el grado de precisión y se vincula a la presencia de oposiciones formando escalas jerárquicas anidadas.

Implicações do medo no ato de decidir no contexto empresarialImplications of fear in the of deciding in a business context
Authors: Silva Edna da , Petry Ana Maris
Published: November 2015

Percebe-se que o homem encontra enorme dificuldade para tomar decisões profissionais e pessoais, porém, essa dificuldade representa ainda maior complexidade no ambiente empresarial, onde os agentes precisam a todo instante tomar importantes decisões. Dentre os fatores subjetivos a interferir no momento de decisão encontra-se o medo, que pode muitas vezes afetar a capacidade de julgamento e percepção do homem. É por esse motivo que a presente pesquisa parte do seguinte problema: de que forma o fenômeno do medo influencia na tomada de decisão dos empresários, gestores e demais colaboradores? Para responder ao problema em questão serão utilizadas as abordagens qualitativa e quantitativa. A técnica de pesquisa utilizada é o questionário, aplicado em 38 participantes, entre empresários, gestores e colaboradores. O objetivo foi analisar a implicação do fenômeno do medo e sua influência na tomada de decisão por parte de empresários, gestores e demais colaboradores do contexto empresarial. A pesquisa empírica constatou que o medo é um fenômeno presente, sobretudo, nos momentos críticos, nas decisões que envolvem grandes riscos para o sujeito e para a empresa. Nesses momentos a percepção subjetiva do indivíduo se altera, o medo surge como interferência, podendo provocar o sujeito a protelar a decisão ou desistir com o argumento racional de que seria muito arriscado seguir em frente. A pesquisa traz que o medo pode se dissimular de argumentos racionalizados, e assim inconscientemente interferir na decisão do indivíduo.

Published: November 2015

A presente pesquisa trata do aspecto da comunicação não verbal para o comunicador público, especialmente aquele que tem seu trabalho conexo ao âmbito da expressão jornalística televisiva. Para embasar em termos de referenciais teóricos, foi realizada uma pesquisa sobre diferentes aspectos: um resgate histórico e conceitual do jornalismo de televisão e da comunicação não verbal; comunicação pública; a linguagem como conquista humana; a comunicação não verbal; a comunicação não verbal do ponto de vista da Ontopsicologia; a relação entre jornalismo e a comunicação não verbal. Esta é uma pesquisa exploratória sobre a recepção da mensagem jornalística pelo espectador de televisão, utilizando como metodologia de pesquisa a aplicação de dois questionários autorais elaborados segundo a Escala Lickert. Foram entrevistados 30 estudantes de graduação acerca do modo como percebiam a comunicação não verbal em dois episódios de programas de entrevista de TV em estúdio exibidos duas vezes, com e sem som. Também foram entrevistados jornalistas de TV para verificar suas percepções acerca da comunicação não verbal. Opta-se por investigar a comunicação não verbal do jornalista em programas de entrevistas de TV em estúdio. A pesquisa teve como objetivo o estudo da percepção acerca da comunicação não verbal por parte do público de televisão de modo a obter uma visão sobre a importância dessa comunicação para o comunicador público. A pesquisa confirmou a relevância da comunicação não verbal para o espectador de televisão e como ferramenta de trabalho que pode ser melhor aproveitada pelo jornalista de televisão caso esse receba o preparo necessário para utilizá-la.
University English: Issues and directions for curriculum development
Authors: Kiely Richard
Published: November 2015

This paper examines University English as a TESOL curriculum context. It outlines three approaches to university English: English as L1, where the focus is primarily on linguistics and literature; English as L2, where there is an advanced language learning component as well as a focus on linguistics and literature; and English for non-English majors, where the focus is on functional language use skills. The paper is in three sections: the first section takes stock of recent developments in the university sector with particular attention to English as a feature of the globalisation of higher education. The second section sets out a typology for English Major programmes, using a curriculum benchmark framework for the study of English on the one hand, and the study of languages on the other. The third section presents a case study of curriculum development in a public university in Bangladesh, showing how the three types of university English establish a baseline for understanding the curriculum and developing strategies to improve it. The ways in which the University English curriculum might be developed and researched further are discussed at the end of the paper.

Intercultural communicative competence: A vital skill in the context of ASEAN economic community
Authors: Tran Thao Quoc , Duong Tham My
Published: November 2015

ASEAN countries are about join in a single market and production base known as ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015, which will enhance freer flows of goods, services, investment, capital, and people. This will enable the process of regional integration in which people from diverse cultures will live, meet, and work together. Accordingly, culture clash and shock and communication breakdown would seem to be unavoidable if people in ASEAN community are not well prepared in terms of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) in order to effectively and appropriately function in multicultural situations. Therefore, this paper discusses the reasons why ICC is a must-to-have in AEC, and gives some implications to promote ICC among people in terms of English language education.

Formative assessment in the EFL context of kermanshah high schools: Teachers' familiarity and application
Authors: Jamali Ferdos , Gheisari Nouzar
Published: November 2015

Formative assessment in language teaching classes is gaining significance as one tool for successful teaching. For the teachers, administers, district managers, policy makers, and all those who lend a hand with the learning/teaching process, formative assessment can act as key factor in determining their exact whereabouts, and specifying where to go in the process .The debatable issue, however, is whether English langue teachers , as the key role players of the learning-teaching process, in the formal high schools of Kermanshah district are familiar with and employ realized-as-the-most-significant assessment techniques (questioning, feedback without grades, self-assessment, peer-assessment, and formative use of summative assessment)  by Black and colleagues (2004) in their teaching act. With reference to such debate, the present study aimed at eliciting the extent of familiarity and employment of five assessment techniques from high school teachers in the formal context of education in Kermanshah district.To this end, two questionnaires, one open-ended and one 20-item Likert scale was distributed among 200 high school teachers (100 male and 100 female) in Kermanshah province. The results of statistical survey manifested that, despite highly positive perception and evaluation of the five assessment techniques, high school teachers in Kermanshah province employed just questioning technique in their classes significantly, with the four other techniques remained unemployed to a great extent.

Keywords: formative assessment, EFL context, high schools, assessment techniques.

The  present  study  aimed  to  investigate  the  evolution  of  the  rhetorical  structure  of  research  article discussions  in  three  prestigious  journals  covering  the  two  chronological  periods  of  1980‐1989 (group  A) and 2005‐2010 (group B). It also studied changes in the application of the two most frequently used verb tenses  −  the  simple  present  tense  and  the  simple  past  tense  −  over  the  two  time  periods.  Overall,  115 published  articles  were  selected  from  the  aforementioned  journals.  Move  analysis  was  accomplished through  application  of  Dudley‐Evans'  (1994)  model  on  the  datasets.  Findings  indicated  that  despite  the overall consistency in utilizing the nine‐move organization, there emerged rather considerable differences in the frequency of (Un) expected outcome and Explanation moves. A reduction  in the frequency of (Un) expected outcome  in group B  indicated  that present‐day writers announce  results with more caution  to win  the  acquiescence  of  reviewers  and  readers.  On  the  other  hand,  a  rise  in  explanations  revealed  a growing  concern  for  including  more arguments  in order  to  follow  the analytical nature of  the discussion section.  The  results  also  demonstrated  a  shift  from  the  simple  present  tense  toward  the  simple  past tense, which marks a shift from generalization to specificity.  Keywords: research article, move, discussion section, genre evolution
The inhibition effect of ozonation in textile wastewater
Authors: Basak Serden , Ozgun Dilek
Published: November 2015

The textile industry effluent includes toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic compounds. Color containing substances are one of the most important effluents among these compounds. These substances should be treated and for the treatment of these substances, biological wastewater treatment processes are frequently preferred. However, biological wastewater treatment processes might not be adequate, therefore, advanced treatment processes could be applied for textile effluent to meet the discharge limits. One of the often-used advanced treatment processes is ozonation. Ozone is a disinfectant and a powerful oxidantÂ  The aim of this study is to show the effects, which include decolorization and inhibition effects, of ozonation on real textile wastewater after anaerobic treatment. For evaluating of ozonation efficiency DOC, alkalinity, pH, ORP and color were measured. The change of color was measured at 436 nm, 525 nm and 620 nm wavelengths. In conclusion, with 10 minutes of ozone contact time, color and DOC are removed by 80% and 65%, respectively. The inhibition tests indicate that the effluents should be considered slightly toxic with 10 min ozonation time.Â Keywords: ozonation, textile wastewater, decolorization, inhibition effect.

Published: November 2015

Application of UASB method for wastewater treatment of canned fish factory reduces the costs of pre-treatments processes such as neutralization, and also reduced the costs of final aeration process. In this study, an UASB reactor which was equipped with a 3-phase separator system has been used. At first, a complex of anaerobic digester sludge and return sludge of activated sludge was added to reactor with ratio of 25 to 15. Then, the wastewater of factory entered into the reactor with inlet Organic Loading Rate (OLR) of 0.5 kg/m3.day which was increased gradually up to 4 kg/m3.day. Then, sampling was done for various tests during 75 days. The results of this study showed that UASB method neutralized and reduced the pH of the inlet wastewater from 10.5 to 7.3; and also reduced the SS of the inlet wastewater from 43 gr/l to 8 gr/l. the COD removal rate of this method was around 87%.

The Role of Rock-Chip Removals and Cutting-Area Shapes in Polycrystalline-Diamond-Compact-Bit Design Optimization
Authors: Chen Shilin , Grosz Greg , Anderle Seth , Arfele Rob , Xun Keshan
Published: November 2015

Almost all previous cutter-force models assumed that cutting force was proportional to cutting area. Cutting-area-based single-cutter-force models were extensively used in polycrystalline-diamond-compact (PDC) -bit design optimization. This paper explains why cutting-area-based bit models failed to predict bit forces. A new cutter force model and a new bit model were developed and are discussed in the paper. In the new cutter force model, cutting force is a function of the shape of the cutting area. A common force model is developed for three types of cutting shapes. In the new bit model, 3D rock chips created in front of cutting face are modeled, meshed, and removed from the hole bottom by updating the hole bottom at each timestep. To validate the new model, four different PDC bits were designed, manufactured, and laboratory-tested under controlled conditions. Details from laboratory testing and field-test results are presented.
Low-Salinity Surfactant Flooding—A Multimechanistic Enhanced-Oil-Recovery Method

We have applied UTCHEM-IPhreeqc to investigate low-salinity (LS) waterflooding and LS surfactant (LSS) flooding. Numerical-simulation results were compared with laboratory experiments reported by Alagic and Skauge (2010). UTCHEM-IPhreeqc combines the UTCHEM numerical chemical-flooding simulator with IPhreeqc, the United States Geological Survey geochemical model. The IPhreeqc model was coupled to UTCHEM to model LS waterflooding as a function of geochemical reactions. The surfactant coreflood experiments were performed in vertical cores without using polymer or other mobility-control agents. These experiments were performed at a velocity greater than the critical velocity for a gravity-stable flood. After history matching the experiments, additional numerical simulations of surfactant floods at the critical velocity were run to estimate the performance under stable conditions. We also simulated a surfactant flood at higher salinity with lower interfacial tension (IFT) and compared the results with the LSS flood. These results provide new insights into LS waterflooding and surfactant flooding. Addition of surfactants prevents the retrapping of oil that was initially mobilized using LS-brine injection. The results show that the proper selection of surfactant and the design of the surfactant flood might surpass the potential benefits of LS waterflooding in terms of both higher oil recovery and lower cost. Specially, a more-effective method is expected in a stable design with no preflood.
Flow in Linear Composite Reservoirs
Authors: Idorenyin Etim H. , Shirif Ezeddin E.
Published: November 2015

This study presents a fast and accurate closed-form, fully analytical solution for modeling fluid flow in linear composite reservoirs. A linear composite system, as mentioned here, refers to a porous medium that can be represented as a linear assembly of distinct homogeneous regions. It is assumed that adjacent regions are connected along an interface of pressure and flux continuity. The solution presented here differs from known analytical models in literature because it does not contain an infinite series that often takes a toll on computational time, especially when accuracy is of prime importance. Thus, this solution finds great use in inverse problems encountered in both rate and pressure transient analyses primarily because of its accuracy and the relatively short computational time required. Depending on the values of the interface coefficients (key parameters in our solution), infinite boundaries, no-flow boundaries, constant-pressure boundaries, and transition interfaces (that is, partially sealing boundaries) can be represented in our model without much computational effort.
Acoustic Emission Wavelet Analysis of Filament Wound Composite Tube Fatigue Damage Process
Authors: Hua Su , Cheng Chang
Published: November 2015

This paper performed a radial compression fatigue test on glass fiber winding composite tubes, collected
acoustic emission signals at different fatigue damages stages, used time frequency analysis techniques for modern wavelet
transform, and analyzed the wave form and frequency characteristics of fatigue damaged acoustic emission signals. Three
main frequency bands of acoustic emission signal had been identified: 80-160 kHz (low frequency band), 160-300 kHz
(middle frequency band), and over 300kHz (high frequency band), corresponding to the three basic damage modes: the
fragmentation of matrix resin, the layered damage of fiber and matrix, and the fracture of cellosilk respectively. The usage
of wavelet transform enabled the separation of fatigue damaged acoustic emission signals from interference wave, and the
access to characteristics of high signal-noise-ratio fatigue damage.
