Reconstruction Strategy After Endoscopic Skull-Base Surgery
Authors: Hong Sang Duk
Published: July 2022

Endoscopic skull-base surgery (ESBS) is a rapidly growing surgical area that involves collaboration of otolaryngology-head and neck surgeons and neurosurgeons. Various tumor pathologies and extents have been successfully treated with ESBS, and diverse reconstruction methods have been adopted since its introduction. The optimal reconstructive strategy should be based on heterogeneous surgical situations and tumor extent. Nevertheless, there are few current guidelines for selecting reconstructive methods. Therefore, we review diverse options for endoscopic skull-base reconstruction.
Optical Analysis of Nasal Endoscopic Images From a Patient With Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2
Authors: Bae Sujeong , Jun Young Joon
Published: July 2022

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread worldwide; a simple diagnostic test is becoming increasingly important. Polymerase chain reaction tests of nasal swab samples are expensive and time-consuming. Detailed observation of the nasal cavity is required. No nasal endoscopic study regarding patients with SARS-CoV-2 has been published. Here, we compared endoscopic images of normal subjects and patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) to images from a patient with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Nasal cavity endoscopic images (of the inferior turbinate) were compared using the hue, saturation, and luminance (HSL) color system of Matrox Design Assistant, version 5.0. The multiple allergen simultaneous test was used to distinguish normal subjects from patients with AR. HSL patterns were compared among images. We enrolled 14 normal subjects and patients with AR and 1 patient with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. The inferior turbinates of normal subjects and patients with AR were smooth and uniform, while those of the patient with SARS-CoV-2 were scratched and stretched. Although additional data are needed, optical analysis of nasal endoscopy images may be useful to screen for SARS-CoV-2 infection. This imaging method is rapid, non-invasive, and inexpensive.

IMPLEMENTASI TEORI BELAJAR HUMANISTIK CARL R. ROGERS PADA PEMBELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM
Authors: Umam Muchamad Chairul
Published: July 2022

Education so far has not yet applied Humanistic learning which is actually very important because it has a goal that can shape students to be human so the researchers chose the topic of Humanistic learning so that education in schools can understand the potential possessed by students not only nature only positive fields. Humanistic learning initiated by Carl R. Rogers aims to shape learners' personalities not only in the cognitive aspect but more emphasized in the attitudes and social aspects, he also advocates an educational approach should try to make learning and teaching more human, more personal, and meaningful.

Humanistic theory is a learning theory that tends towards philosophy, so that its implementation in learning PAI is still difficult to do in practical and operational learning steps, but the contribution is so large. The concepts, ideas, taxonomies of objectives that have been formulated can help educators and teachers in understanding human nature. This will be able to assist them in determining learning components such as goal formulation, material determination, selection of learning strategies, and development of evaluation tools, towards the formation of the aspired human.

The research method used by researchers is qualitative by looking at social phenomena and understanding the meaning of human behavior. This research is descriptive in this study trying to explain or illustrate the implementation of Carl R Rogers' humanistic learning theory on Islamic religious learning.

Ultrasonication-assisted fabrication of porous ZnO@C nanoplates for lithium-ion batteries
Authors: Wang Xueting , Wang Yunchuang , Wu Meichao , Fang Ruopian , Yang Xi , Wang Da-Wei
Published: July 2022

Lithium-ion batteries have made significant commercial and academic progress in recent decades. Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been widely studied as a lithium-ion battery anode due to its high theoretical capacity of 987 mAh g-1, natural abundance, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, ZnO suffers from poor electronic conductivity and large volume variation during the battery discharge/charge process, leading to capacity deterioration during long-term cycling. Herein, porous ZnO@C nanoplates are developed to offer short ion diffusion pathways and good conduction networks for both Li ions and electrons. The porous nanoplates provide abundant active sites for electrochemical reactions with minimized charge transfer impedance. As a result, the porous ZnO@C nanoplates deliver higher performance for lithium-ion storage compared with a bare ZnO anode. Furthermore, with the introduction of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), the ZnO@C@rGO composite anode achieves a capacity of 229.3 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 2 A g-1.

Decline in Seasonal Snow During a Projected 20-Year Dry Spell
Authors: Hatchett Benjamin , Rhoades Alan M. , McEvoy Daniel
Published: July 2022

Snowpack loss in midlatitude mountains is ubiquitously projected by Earth system models, though the magnitudes, persistence and time horizons of decline vary. Using daily downscaled hydroclimate and snow projections we examine changes in snow seasonality across the U.S. Pacific Southwest region during a simulated severe 20-year dry spell in the 21st century (2051–2070) developed as part of the 4th California Climate Change Assessment to provide a "stress test" for water resources. Across California’s mountains, substantial declines (30–100% loss) in median peak annual snow water equivalent accompany changes in snow seasonality throughout the region compared to the historic period. We find 80% of historic seasonal snowpacks transition to ephemeral conditions. Subsetting empirical-statistical wildfire projections for California by snow seasonality transition regions indicates a two-to-four-fold increase in burned area, consistent with recent observations of high elevation wildfires following extended drought conditions. By analyzing six of the major California snow-fed river systems we demonstrate snowpack reductions and seasonality transitions result in concomitant declines in annual runoff (47-58% of historic values). The negative impacts to statewide water supply reliability by the projected dry spell will likely be magnified by changes in snowpack seasonality and increased wildfire activity.

Published: July 2022

Climate change poses a serious threat to global agricultural activity and food production. To address this issue, plant genome editing technologies have been developed to provide an alternative solution for crop improvement. Unlike conventional breeding techniques (e.g., selective breeding and mutation breeding), modern genome editing tools offer more targeted and specific alterations of the plant genome to produce crops with desired traits, such as higher yield and/or stronger resilience to the changing environment. In this review, we discuss the current development and future applications of genome editing technologies in mitigating the impacts of biotic and abiotic stresses on agriculture. We focus specifically on the CRISPR/Cas system, which has been the center of attention in the last few years as a revolutionary genome-editing tool in various species. We also conducted a bibliographic analysis on CRISPR-related papers published from 2012 to 2021 (10 years) to identify trends and possible gaps in the CRISPR/Cas-related plant research. In addition, this review article outlines the current shortcomings and challenges of employing genome editing technologies in agriculture with notes on future prospective. We believe combining conventional and more innovative technologies in agriculture would be the key to optimizing crop improvement beyond the limitations of traditional agricultural practices.
Detection of Waste Plastics in the Environment: Application of Copernicus Earth Observation data
Authors: Lavender Samantha
Published: July 2022

The detection of waste plastics in the marine and terrestrial environment using satellite Earth Observation data offers the possibility of large-scale mapping, and reducing on-the-ground manual investigation. In addition, costs are kept to a minimum by utilizing free-to-access Copernicus data. A Machine Learning based classifier was developed to run on Sentinel-1 and -2 data. In support of the training and validation, a dataset was created with terrestrial and aquatic cases by manually digitizing varying landcover classes alongside plastics under the sub-categories of greenhouses, plastic, tyres and waste sites. The trained classifier, including an Artificial Neural Network and post-processing decision tree, was verified using five locations encompassing these different forms of plastic. Although exact matchups are challenging to digitize, the performance has generated high accuracy statistics, and the resulting land cover classifications have been used to map the occurrence of plastic waste in aquatic and terrestrial environments.

Published: July 2022

Background: Hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES) are a group of relatively rare disorders in which neurological manifestations are not uncommon including ischemic stroke. The hypothesized pathophysiological mechanisms are hypercoagulability, cardioembolism (mainly mediated by myocardial involvement) and damage to the endothelium. A variable ischemic pattern has been described, including an association of territorial and border zone ischemic stroke. Methods: Three patients who presented to our department with acute stroke were selected aiming to show these three different mechanisms inferred from the stroke pattern on brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and to simultaneously illustrate the three main causes of HES. Results and Discussion: The first patient is a 55-year-old man with an abrupt onset of aphasia due to an acute ischemic stroke involving the left parietal lobule and the angular gyrus; recent lab test had shown hypereosinophilia. An extensive workup excluded primary and secondary causes of hy-pereosinophilia so a diagnosis of idiopathic hypereosinophilia was formulated and he was treated with high doses of steroids. The second patient had severe hypereosinophilia and developed multiple small scattered ischemic lesions, mainly in watershed zones. The history of severe asthma and recurrent sinusitis supported the diagnosis of EGPA (Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis); considering the severe clinical conditions and the presumptive role of hypereo-sinophilia in determining her symptoms, steroid treatment was promptly started, with good clinical response. The third patient also presented with multiple metachronous ischemic lesions, both in cortical and watershed distribution and marked eosinophilia; the diagnostic work-up found an ovarian cancer. She was treated with steroids and then underwent surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions: HES should be considered in stroke etiological evaluation, although it is a rare disorder, and border zones pattern on neuroimaging is quite suggestive. A thorough research of the sources of hypereosinophilia should be performed to select the appropriate therapy.

Botnets are the most common and have a significant negative impact on any civilization among malware programmes. As a result, this study will explore various P2P botnet detection algorithms by outlining their essential characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, obstacles, and future research.
Jeans gravitational instability of a magnetized rotating collision-less anisotropic plasma using generalized laws of double polytropy
Authors: Kolesnichenko Aleksandr Vladimirovich
Published: July 2022

The problem of gravitational instability of an astrophysical magnetized rotating plasma with an anisotropic pressure tensor is investigated on the basis of the quasi-hydrodynamic Chew-Goldberger-Low (CGL) equations, modified by using generalized laws of dual polytropic theory. Using a general form of the dispersion relation obtained by the normal mode method, we discuss the propagation of oscillating magneto-hydrodynamic waves of small amplitude perturbation in an infinite homogeneous plasma medium for the transverse, longitudinal and inclined directions with respect to the magnetic field vector. A number of modified Jeans gravitational instability criteria obtained for isotropic MHD and anisotropic CGL equations of rarefied plasma and distinguished by different orientations of the vectors of propagation of the disturbing wave, magnetic field, and rotation axis of the hydromagnetic fluid are analyzed. It is shown that rotation and anisotropic pressure not only change the classical criterion of gravitational instability of astrophysical magnetized plasma, but also cause new unstable regions.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most severe diseases in preterm newborns. Despite numerous studies analyzing NEC, many aspects of its etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment are still poorly understood. NEC diagnosis at early stages remains extremely challenging. It is early diagnosis that ensures timely treatment initiation and reduces mortality. There is a clear need for early diagnostic biomarkers of NEC, since it will improve treatment outcomes and expand our understanding of NEC pathogenesis. This literature review summarizes information on laboratory and instrumental diagnostics of NEC, which can facilitate the identification of new biomarkers.

Acute hemorrhagic edema of childhood, also called acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) or Finkelstein-Seidlmayer disease is a vasculitis of small blood vessels. The etiology of the disease is unknown, but various reports in the literature indicate precursor triggers including a preceding infectious disease. This article presents a clinical observation of an 8-month-old boy with ecchymotic skin lesions on legs and ears as well as genital edema, with a history of mild upper respiratory infection two weeks before referral. Laboratory findings were normal. After a few days, he was discharged without particular treatment. Despite the low prevalence of this disease, it is important to consider it during examinations due to the clinical nature of the diagnosis. Based on clinical and laboratory findings, a diagnosis of AHEI was made. We decided not to perform any therapy, and after about two weeks lesions had a self-limited resolution. The child was monitored clinically for about six months, and he did not present any relapse of the disease during the follow-up period. This patient was admitted to the hospital, underwent important laboratory tests, and was evaluated by multiple subspecialty services prior to diagnosis. While keeping in mind more worrisome diagnoses, physicians should consider the diagnosis of AHEI in well-appearing young children with purpuric lesions on the face and ears and non-pitting edema of the extremities. Awareness and early recognition of AHEI may prevent hospital admission, invasive workup, and parental and physician concern.

Tick-borne infections comprise a large group of diseases with a diverse etiology and clinical manifestations. Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is the most important of them. It is characterized by an unpredictable course and possible development of severe chronic disease observed in 1–3% of cases. Chronic disease usually develops several months and sometimes even years after the acute period, primarily in patients with meningoencephalitic and, less frequently, polioencephalomyelitic TBE. In such cases, infectious process turns into chronic disease that can manifest itself after 3–6 months to 5 years following the acute period after being triggered by intercurrent infections, injuries, or early rehabilitation measures. Therefore, TBE is a time bomb. In this article, we report a case of chronic TBE complicated by Kozhevnikov epilepsy in a child aged 4 years 9 months. Key words: tick-borne encephalitis, children, epilepsy, chronic disease, cytoflavin

In this article, we report a rare case of anorectal malformation (anal stenosis) in combination with anterior communicating rectal tubular duplication in a 10-month-old boy. The patient presented with constipation, bloating, anal narrowing, and an additional opening in the anterior semicircle of the anal sphincters. His diagnosis was confirmed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Surgical treatment was conducted by stages and included colostomy, rectal duplication removal with anterior sphincteroplasty, and stoma closure. One year postoperatively, the child had regular stools, no fecal incontinence, and a good cosmetic result of the operation. We emphasized late diagnosis of this congenital malformation. In case of an additional opening in the anterior semicircle of the anus, it is necessary to exclude colonic duplication using visualization methods. Digital rectal examination is recommended to exclude anal stenosis in such patients. Key words: anorectal malformations, anal fistula, colonic duplication

Objective. To predict the risk of congenital cleft lip and palate during pregnancy planning in patients residing in a polluted region using genetic markers. Materials and methods. This study included 45 women with children who had congenital cleft lip and palate. The control group comprised 119 donors of the Republican Blood Transfusion Station without cleft lip and palate who resided in the Republic of Bashkortostan. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood using standard phenol-chloroform extraction protocol. Polymorphic variants were assessed using polymerase chain reaction with locus-specific oligonucleotide primers. We analyzed the prevalence of genotypes and alleles of polymorphic loci in genes encoding glutathione S-transferase mu 1 (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase Pi 1 (GSTP1) to predict congenital cleft lip and palate. Results. The analysis of prevalence of genotypes and alleles of the glutathione S-transferase genes demonstrated that parents carrying deletions in the GSTM1 gene were more likely to have children with cleft lip and palate (OR = 2.65 (CI 95% 1.10–6.41), p = 0.028). We observed a significant association when comparing the allele frequencies. The frequency of deletion was 60.0% in parents with children who had congenital cleft lip and palate and 36.13% in the control group. The odds ratio in the parent group was 2.65 (CI 95% 1.42–4.95), p = 0.003. Significant differences were obtained in the additive model (OR = 2.21 (CI 95% 1.05–4.67), p = 0.038). The presence of the G allele more than doubled the odds of having a baby with congenital cleft lip and palate (OR = 2.21 (CI 95% 1.05–4.67), p = 0.038). Conclusion. Genotyping of the polymorphic locus rs1695 in the GSTP1 gene, as well as identification of GSTM1 gene deletions and AG or GG genotypes of the rs1695 locus in the GSTP1 gene can be used to predict the risk of congenital cleft lip and palate in a baby.

War of the Words. The Online Conversation about NATO in Romania: Communicators, Content, Communities
Authors: Sultănescu Dana C.
Published: July 2022

The Covid-19 infodemic has brought forth an intensification of disinformation and conspiracy narratives, especially in the online environment. Beside the public health implications, the geopolitical aspect is also relevant, since Romania, a member of the EU and NATO, has constantly been under pressure from a multitude of propaganda attempts meant to undermine people’s trust in the West. The main goal of this paper is to explore the type of online information that the Romanian public is exposed to regarding NATO, an institutional actor representative for the Western model, specifically to assess the main communicators, content, and patterns of information dissemination. A dataset of Facebook mentions was created and filtered (n=9705) and visual network analysis was employed to build a NATO issue network. The main clusters of this network were analyzed to reveal that the two largest communities are structured according to a political cleavage, while an anti-Western media actor, Sputnik, controls a separate cluster, but its content infiltrates several others. Qualitative content analysis on a relevance sample of the most frequently distributed content was employed to evaluate both attitudes toward NATO (negative stances were identified in several analyzed documents) and the occurrence of conspiracy narratives (also a significant presence).
Experimental Study on Damage Evolution Characteristics of Coal Samples under Impact Load under Different Surrounding Pressures
Authors: Yang Shengli , Yue Hao , Chen Xiaolong , Zhai Ruihao , Zhang Shen
Published: July 2022

To study the response characteristics of coal samples to impact load under different surrounding pressures, the self-developed magnetic drop hammer impact device was used to measure the change of ultrasonic wave velocity before and after drop hammer impact, the internal damage of coal samples was quantitatively characterized, and then, the damage factor, damage difference, and crack development direction of briquette samples were analyzed. Based on the Griffith strength theory, the relationship between stress intensity factor, crack development angle, and surrounding pressure ratio of coal samples with composite cracks was deduced. It was found that a certain surrounding pressure would slow crack expansion and reduce the amount of damage increase. The damage degree of briquette samples caused by impact load under no surrounding pressure is the largest, followed by that at the surrounding pressure ratio of 0 and 2 and that at the surrounding pressure ratio of 1 is the smallest. When the amount of damage difference of the sample is positively correlated with the number of impacts, the crack development is directional; when the amount of damage difference of the sample is nonpositively correlated with the number of impacts, the direction of crack development is random. It is therefore reasonable to predict the direction of crack expansion by the trend in the amount of damage difference. Besides, the difference in impact load between briquette and raw coal samples under different surrounding pressure ratios was discussed, and the fractal dimension of the sample surface under different surrounding pressure ratios was compared and analyzed. It is found that the fractal dimension of raw coal is larger than that of briquette, indicating that the crack development of raw coal is higher after impact; the damage amount of raw coal is larger than that of briquette, indicating that raw coal is easier to be damaged after impact.
Phase Behavior in Nanopores and Its Indication for Cyclic Gas Injection in a Volatile Oil Reservoir from Duvernay Shale
Authors: Kong Xiangwen , Wang Hongjun , Yu Wei , Wang Ping , Liu Li , Zhang Wenjing
Published: July 2022

Duvernay shale spans over 6 million acres with a total resource of 440 billion barrels’ oil equivalent in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). The oil recovery factors typically decrease with the decreasing of gas-oil ratio (GOR) in oil window of Duvernay shale. The volatile oil recovery factors are typically 5–10%. Enhanced oil recovery technologies should be applied to improve the economics of the reservoirs. In this paper, the volatile oil from the Duvernay shale was taken as an example for phase behavior study. We analyzed the nanopore confinement on phase behavior and physical properties of Duvernay shale oil. The shift of critical properties was quantified within nanopores. With the confinement of nanopores, the viscosity, density, and bubble point pressure of the oil decrease with the shrinking of the pore size. Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) was calculated for different injected gases. The MMP from high to low is N2>CH4>lean gas>rich gas>CO2. In the case of injecting the same gas component, the MMP decreases as the pore size decreases. The wellhead rich gas is suggested to be the main gas source for gas injection in Duvernay shale. The formation pressure should be rapidly increased to the MMP and maintained close to it, which would help to improve the effect of gas injection and enhance shale oil recovery. This paper can provide critical insights for the research of shale oil gas injection for enhanced oil recovery.

Las ciudades contemporáneas se han ido conformando como espacios en los que han ido generando formas de vida especialmente individuales, sus espacios, el diseño de los barrios, sus viviendas en grandes urbanizaciones han conllevado dichas formas de vida que no favorecen las conexiones e interacciones sociales. Tal es así, que podríamos preguntarnos ¿qué espacios de socialización nos encontramos en las grandes urbes? ¿qué espacios de encuentro y socialización, más allá de la plaza pública, en la que contar con medios para la dinamización y acción ciudadana, dotándola de capacidad transformadora?
Los living lab se presentan como una oportunidad para dar respuesta a aquellos reclamos señalados de las ciudades contemporáneas que, en su interacción con las tecnologías, generan nuevos espacios de comunicación urbana, tanto para el propio profesional del periodismo en su necesidad de aprender y poner en prácticas las nuevas narrativas periodísticas –como puede ser el periodismo de datos-, así como para el propio ciudadano para alfabetizarse en estos nuevos lenguajes.
Si partimos de la idea de que un living lab es un entorno de experimentación centrada en el usuario, en un proceso de co-creación entre usuario y los productores, permitiendo descubrir nuevas realidades y conceptos, usos emergentes, comportamientos y necesidades del usuario en el entorno que interactúa, posibilitando también un proceso de evaluación de dicha experiencia, podemos afirmar que se presenta como una oportunidad de innovación y dinamización de las ciudades como espacios de comunicación, convirtiéndose también en una herramienta para la creación marca ciudad.
Desde estos planteamientos y enfoques, realizaremos nuestra investigación, teniendo como referencia principal las líneas de trabajo e investigación del European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) (https://enoll.org/), la federación internacional que agrupa los mejores Living Labs de Europa y del mundo.

Desde finales del siglo XX se ha desarrollado un proceso en el que las ciudades han empezado a cobrar un especial protagonismo, principalmente como consecuencia de la globalización de la economía y de la comunicación, así como la conformación de un nuevo orden internacional con énfasis en la descentralización de los Estados-nación.
La conexión global que supone Internet y la mayor asignación de responsabilidades político‑administrativas en el ámbito local han provocado que las ciudades se erijan como nuevos centros neurálgicos donde la educación, la ciencia, la innovación, la economía y la política se reconfiguran para actuar en el ámbito internacional sin la mediación de los países y de sus administraciones. Esta transferencia de competencias y poder ha generado cambios graduales en el ámbito de acción de las administraciones locales, que suman, a la gestión de obras públicas, vigilancia y gestión de servicios básicos y atención ciudadana, otras responsabilidades en materia de desarrollo económico y social, promoviendo sinergias y, eventualmente, lobbies para la inversión y el crecimiento productivo, siempre desde y con un enfoque estrictamente local (Fernández y Paz, 2005).

A Study on Online Learning Management System: Implementation of Edmodo-Based Blended English Learning Method
Authors: Ratna Yunita
Published: July 2022

Industrial Revolution 4.0 makes rapid changes in every aspect of a human’s life. One of them is the teaching and learning English which has been affected by technology. It is supported by the fact that English is the number one language used globally. Therefore, Education 4.0 emerges in facing Industrial Revolution 4.0 to increase the education level. By this, it is expected that higher education becomes more reachable than before and a tendency which leads to more international standardized higher education institutions. In these rapid changes, there are two challenges faced by students in higher education institutions: English proficiency and culture transition. Thus, the State Islamic Institute of Ponorogo, as one of developing State Islamic Institutes in Indonesia starts to implement a blended learning system in every course as the solution. The lecturers use a variety of learning management system, including Edmodo. This study used quantitative and qualitative analysis on assessing the effectiveness of Edmodo implementation from the students’ point of view as well as determining the progress, learning engagement, as well as the students’ performance overall. The results showed that Edmodo facilitates student-centered and anytime-anywhere learning. It was also found that it makes the English course administration easier. Moreover, students asked in this study had a favorable opinion toward learning English via Edmodo. However, some disadvantages English and technical problems of using Edmodo in teaching and learning were also discussed in this study.
Study Reviews Recent Polymerflooding Advances in China

Published: July 2022

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 200084, “Recent Advances of Polymerflooding in China,” by Hu Guo and Kaoping Song, China University of Petroleum, and Yuming Wang, Daqing Oilfield Company, et al. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

Polymerflooding is one of the more promising chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques that features high incremental oil recovery factor, low cost, and wide reservoir applicability. This paper helps clarify ideas regarding polymerflooding implementation based on theory and practice in China.

Introduction

Laboratory studies aimed at increasing understanding of polymerflooding involve criteria for matching polymer with porous media, the polymer viscoelasticity effect on residual oil saturation (ROS), and displacement efficiency and synthesis of new polymers with better viscosifying capacity compared with typical partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM). The plugging of injectors in many oil fields is becoming increasingly common in many commercial blocks. This problem is especially serious for high-concentration polymer-injection blocks in fields such as Daqing, Xinjiang, and Henan. Understanding this phenomenon involves aligning the polymer and porous-media parameters such as permeability and pore size. Actual reservoir pressure distribution also must be considered. Because modern chemical EOR is based on ultralow interfacial tension (IFT) and minimum mobility ratio theory, the idea of combining the benefits of reducing IFT and increasing displacing-phase viscosity leads to a synthesis of amphiphilic polymers, which have features of both polymers and surfactants. This new type of polymer is sometimes called polymeric surfactant in China.
A secure and efficient multi-domain data sharing model on consortium chain

Published: July 2022

In a large-scale networking scenario with massive distribution of devices, data is independently generated and maintained by multiple domains. In order to solve the problem of isolated data island in multi-domain, this paper designs a multi-domain data sharing model based on consortium chain. Aiming at the problems of low efficiency and the less consideration of intra-domain consensus processes in traditional data sharing schemes, this paper optimizes the security and efficiency of data sharing from two parts: inter-domain chain and intra-domain chain. In order to ensure the fine-grained, dynamic and secure access strategy in inter-domain chain, this model combines the attribute-based access control model (ABAC) with smart contract, and a permission grading mechanism is designed to solve the problem of low retrieval efficiency in this access control model through reducing the retrieval range by grading and matching Policy set. In view of the problem of high delay of node consensus in the large-scale networking environment of intra-domain chain, a Layered Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance optimization (LPBFT) algorithm with introducing a reputation model is designed, which greatly improves the efficiency and security of the intra-domain consensus. The consortium chain model is designed and implemented from the perspectives of inter-domain and intra-domain, which optimized the security and efficiency of the multi-domain data sharing model. Finally, this paper implements a prototype system with the Hyperledger Fabric platform, and verifies the validity of this model from the access control within the inter-domain and the consensus algorithm within the intra-domain separately.
