Multivariate statistical applications for quantifying contribution of seismic data to production prediction in the Wolfcamp, Midland Basin
Authors: Bashore William M. , Grant Christian W.
Published: March 2018

A workflow with the objective of quantifying the added value of seismic-based information to improved prediction of oil production in the Wolfcamp section of the Midland Basin is described. A variety of multivariate statistical algorithms are employed in the workflow: unsupervised and supervised classification, categorical-based nonlinear regression, and spatial regression for well log estimation. Porosity is estimated from elastic inversion volumes within the context of lithotype classification originating with well logs. Porosity feet becomes the primary driver in production prediction. Two parallel analyses are performed. In the first, only well logs are used to predict porosity along all vertical wellbores. As a proxy for the impact of well spacing, different minimum search distances are investigated for porosity estimation error and associated error in prediction of cumulative oil production at six months. The second analysis is similar except, along each wellbore, porosity is extracted from the seismic porosity volume and then used as soft data. These two analysis flows are then applied to horizontal wellbores, which have no original porosity logs, to compare how well each predicts known cumulative production. The incorporation of seismic-based information does show significant error reduction.
Prism waves for imaging steep geologic features and sediment terminations against salt flanks: Examples from the Gulf of Mexico

Published: March 2018

Subsalt imaging in the Gulf of Mexico often suffers from illumination problems where various steep geologic features are not captured with conventional imaging techniques due to the lack of a direct wave path from the source to the steep reflector and back to the receiver. The exact geometry of these invisible salt flanks or salt welds is of great interest to interpreters during salt model building and prospect mapping. This paper discusses a suite of technologies that uses prism waves for imaging geologic interfaces with reverse time migration (RTM). Prism wave RTM imaging represents an example of imaging with multiples, Due to its specific geometric setup, it is often complementary to traditional RTMs. Specifically, the prism wave reflections can illuminate steep features that are invisible otherwise. Furthermore, by utilizing prism wave RTM in “reverse,” one can specify the steep event as the input prism wave generator (often a well-constrained salt boundary) and obtain an alternative (and perhaps cleaner) image of the sediment geometries next to this input event. In the industry, a lot of resources are spent on trying to improve illumination for the geologic features of interest by acquiring additional seismic surveys. With prism wave imaging, one can instead leverage the seismic signal that has already been recorded. We believe that even with moderate prism wave illumination uplift, the interpretive value gained can be quite large. To give the reader a glimpse of what is possible, we present several real data examples highlighting the utility of prism waves in interpretation.

Published: March 2018

BACKGROUND:

Under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System, physician payment will be adjusted using a composite performance score that has 4 components, one of which is resource use. The objective of this exploratory study is to quantify the facility-level variation in surgical case duration for common surgeries to examine the feasibility of using surgical case duration as a performance metric.

METHODS:

We used data from the National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry on 404,987 adult patients undergoing one of 6 general surgical or orthopedic procedures: laparoscopic appendectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative cholangiogram, knee arthroscopy, laminectomy, and total hip replacement. We constructed separate mixed-effects multivariable time-to-event models (survival analysis) for each of the 6 procedures to model surgical case duration.

RESULTS:

We identified performance outliers, based on surgical case duration, using 2013 data and then quantified the gap between high- and low-performance outliers using 2014 data. After adjusting for patient risk, patients undergoing surgery at high-performance facilities were between 54% and 79% more likely to exit the operating room (OR) per unit time compared to average-performing facilities, depending on the procedure. For example, patients undergoing a laparoscopic appendectomy at high-performance facilities were 68% more likely to exit the OR per unit time (hazard ratio, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.40–2.02; P < .001) compared to average-performing facilities. Patients undergoing a laparoscopic appendectomy at low-performance facilities were 41% less likely to exit the OR per unit time (hazard ratio, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.47–0.74; P < .001) compared to average-performing facilities. The adjusted median surgical case duration for patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy was 69 minutes at high-performance centers and 92 minutes at low-performance centers. Similar results were obtained for the other procedures.

CONCLUSIONS:

There was wide variation in surgery case duration for patients undergoing common general surgical and orthopedic surgeries. This variability in care delivery may represent an important opportunity to promote more efficient use of health care resources.

Published: March 2018

The aim of the present study was to determine concentrations of acute phase proteins (APP), oxidative stress and some biochemical parameters in naturally infested cattle with Hypoderma spp. For this purpose, 10 clinically healthy cattle as controls and 25 Brown Swiss cattle with Hypoderma spp. were used. Blood samples were collectedto tubes from jugular vein. Parts of blood samples were stored without any process as a whole blood. The serum was separated from the remaining blood samples. The reduced glutathione (GSH) in whole blood and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), haptoglobin (Hp), ceruloplasmin, serum amyloid A (SAA), AST, GGT, ALP, CK, albumin, urea and total protein levels in serum were colorimetrically determined. The present study indicated that the concentrations of Hp, SAA, ceruloplasmin, AST, GGT, ALP, CK, and MDA were significantly increased, and albumin, total protein, GSH concentrations were significantly decreased in the Hypoderma spp. infested group compared to the control group. Additionally, the increase in serum Hp levels was proportional to the number of Hypoderma spp. and it was statistically significant. In conclusion, the production of APP increased in a response to acute phase response in animals with subcutaneous warbles. Furthermore, liver functions were also shown to be impaired and oxidative stress developed as a result of metabolic products of the parasite in Hypoderma spp. infested cattle.

Published: March 2018

In order to assess the diffusion of brucellosis by Brucella ovis and leptospirosis in sheep flocks in Tuscany, 410 blood samples were collected from males of 76 breeding farms from January to December 2015. All sera resulted negative for B. ovis. A percentage of 17.80% sera was found positive for Leptospira spp. Among all breeding farms, 34.21% resulted positive. The most represented serovars were Pomona (6.34%), Hardjo (4.14%), Grippotyphosa (3.17%) and Bratislava (1.70%). The highest antibody titers were detected for serovar Hardjo (1:25600) and serovars Pomona and Grippotyphosa (1:1600). These results confirm the role of sheep as maintenance host for serovar Hardjo and highlight the spreading of serovar Grippotyphosa in the study area. Constant field investigation, especially on farm animals, could be useful to determine trends and diffusion of some occupational re-emerging diseases, such as leptospirosis.

Published: March 2018

Parasites and associated pathology of wild caught Serranidae in the Aegean Sea were investigated in order to contribute to the scientific information regarding pathological findings of these fish. Various lesions and parasitic organisms, such as Digenean parasites, cysts and metacercaria, Cestode cysts and a nematode, were observed in the gills / pseudobranchs, liver, the wall of the digestive tract, the mesentery and the ovaries. None of these lesions were considered to be of pathogenic bacteria nature based on microscopic observation of stained tissue sections of affected organs. The most frequently observed parasitism among all the species studied was from Digenean parasites (11 out of 16 specimens examined) compared to infection by both cestodes and nematodes (3 out of 16 specimens examined). Heavier infestation was observed for the unidentified Digenean cysts that were found in the mesentery of one specimen (120 counts), followed by Didymozoan parasites (average 19.25 counts per specimen).

Published: March 2018

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) is the agent of a chronic, progressive granulomatous enteritis in ruminants known as Johne’s disease or paratuberculosis. Nowadays, the interest regarding this pathogen is increasing not only because Map causes economic losses, but it has also been suggested as a potential risk factor for the development of human diseases such as Crohn disease, autoimmune diseases like type-1 diabetes, sarcoidosis, multiple sclerosis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The aim of our study was to determine the presence of paratuberculosis in Garfagnana (Tuscany, Italy) where raw milk is not submitted to pasteurization, but it is directly sold to consumers or it is destined for cheese making without the employment of heat treatment. The survey was conducted in Garfagnana district where there are 17 herds which produce and market bovine milk for direct human consumption. Serum samples (n=162) were obtained form 16 herds and were analyzed performing ELISA ID screen® Paratuberculosis Indirect screening test (ID.VET, Montpellier, France) and positive samples were tested with ELISA ID screen® Paratuberculosis Indirect confirmation test (ID.VET, Montpellier, France), according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The analysis performed by ELISA revealed that the true seroprevalence was 29.1% at the herd level and 4.6% at the animal level. In our opinion, although ELISA is a very useful tool to screen herds for paratuberculosis, more studies should be carried out in our territory combining serological data with cultural and PCR analysis.

In 46 patients with mild persistent asthma the collection and cytological study of the induced sputum (IS) was done to assess the inflammatory pattern of bronchi, structural organization of bronchial epithelium and secretory goblet cells; the level of the disease control by the data of the validated questionnaire Asthma Control Test was found out; the base lung function (FEV1) was determined; the response of airways to standard 3-minute isocapnic hyperventilation by cold (-20ºC) air (IHCA) was studied. By the results of IHCA test the patients were divided into 2 groups: with cold airway hyperresponsiveness (1st group) and without any response to IHCA test (2nd group). The patients of the 1st group in comparison with the ones of the 2nd group had a lower level of spirometric parameters and control over the disease. In the 1st group there were found more significant changes in the structural organization and destructive-cytological activity of goblet cells against the decrease of a number of epithelial cells of IM and activation of a neutrophilic pool under eosinophilic pattern of inflammation. The patients with cold airway hyperresponsiveness were found to have a close correlation between identified disorders in the structural organization of the goblet epithelium, the number of neutrophils of IS and severity of the bronchial response to IHCA test. The association of disorganization of the goblet epithelium and bronchial response to cold stimulus against the features of inflammatory pattern can be considered a risk factor of escalation of mucociliary insufficiency and worsening of clinical course of a disease and the level of asthma control.

Currently there is an active search for medicines increasing the stability of liver to pathological effects, reinforcing its neutralizing function, promoting its functional recovery after various injuries, including poisoning by industrial poisons. Therefore, the study of opportunities to reduce toxic liver damage by carbon tetrachloride introduction of synthetic and natural antioxidants is of interest. In experimental conditions the possibility to correct free radical lipid oxidation of rats’ organism membranes was studied with the introduction of the succinate containing drug called Reamberin (Polysan, St.Petersburg) and licorice syrup. The animals were divided into 4 groups and each of them had 10 rats: the group with intact animals which were held in standard conditions of vivarium; the control group in which rats were given carbon tetrachloride during 3 days daily; the experimental group in which before the introduction of carbon tetrachloride animals had a daily intra-abdominal intake of the Reamberin in a dose of 100 mg/kg (20 ml/kg); the experimental group in which before the introduction of carbon tetrachloride animals had a daily oral intake of the licorice syrup in a dose of 5 ml/kg. It was found out that in the blood and in the liver of experimental animals an introduction of carbon tetrachloride during 3 days contributes to the increase of lipid hydroperoxides level (by 24-43%), of diene conjugate (by 19-47%), and of malonic dialdehyde (by 61-81%) against the decrease of antioxidant system activity in the blood of intact animals. The introduction of the succinate containing drug to rats in the conditions of oxidative stress contributes to the decrease in the blood and in the liver of lipid hydroperoxides by 13-26%, of diene conjugates by 11-28%, and of malonic dialdehyde by 30-34% in comparison with the rats of the control group. Adding of the licorice syrup to rats contributes to the reliable decrease in the blood and in the liver of lipid hydroperoxides by 6-23%, of diene conjugates by 9-24%, and of malonic dialdehyde by 25-30% in comparison with the rats of the control group. While analyzing the effect of the antioxidants on the activity of the components of antioxidant system it was shown that the level of ceruloplasmin in the blood and in the liver of animals was reliably higher by 10-47%, of vitamin E by 13-42% in comparison with the same parameters of the rats of the control group. So, the application of the synthetic and natural antioxidants in the conditions of introduction of carbon tetrachloride of the organism of animals under experiment leads to the stabilization of the processes of peroxidation against the increase of antioxidant system activity.

Examples of air pollution and its consequences are given. The main sources of dust formation are described, including sand and dust storms and man-caused wastes arising from the extraction of minerals, its types, form and properties. The dispersion of dust particles is characterized, as well as the danger of particles of 0.3 to 5 μm or less to humans. It is shown that the irritating, toxic, allergic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, fibrogenic and other effects of dust depend on the physicochemical properties, particle size and surface, their content in the room air or in the working area, the duration of the action. It is noted that the efficiency of dust also depends on the individual reactivity of the person. Briefly listed are the specific and nonspecific effects of dust and the mechanism of pneumoconiosis development.

Delirium: reducing risks and improving quality of life
Authors: Nazarko Linda
Published: March 2018

Edith Watson seemed to be having an ordinary day when she loaded her groceries into the boot of her car, but then she fell and fractured her wrist. Three weeks later, staff on the ward she was admitted to told her horrified daughter that it was clear Mrs Watson couldn't cope at home and it might be best if she found a nursing home for her mother. In three short weeks, Mrs Watson had gone from a woman who was able to drive, manage her home and was fully independent to a confused, immobile old lady who was at risk of falls.

Sometimes, confusion is overlooked or not considered abnormal in older people. The Royal College of Physicians (2017) has just amended the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) and new confusion is now identified and is to be escalated to doctors or nurse practitioners, so that it will no longer be possible to overlook this important sign of distress.

This article explores how healthcare can harm as well as heal and how understanding of the risks of hospitalisation can enable people to retain ability and confidence in hospital.

Published: March 2018

Allergy is a relatively new speciality with rapidly growing services. In spite of this, the number of people with allergic disease surpasses the capacity within services to provide adequate provision. To meet the increasing demand for allergy services, new ways of working have been developed. The advancement of nursing practice and the need within the NHS for development of a flexible and adaptable workforce, responsive to the needs of patients, has enabled nurse-led allergy services to flourish. This article examines nurse-led service development within the field of allergy across the UK, the governance needed to underpin nurse-led services, and how these have contributed to the growth of allergy service provision.

Interfacial Transition Zone of Cement Composites with Recycled Concrete Aggregate of Different Moisture States
Authors: Brand Alexander S. , Roesler Jeffery
Published: March 2018

Past research suggests that the moisture state of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) at the time of concrete mixing can dramatically affect the concrete properties. This study employed image analysis of backscattered electron micrographs to monitor the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) development in coarse mortars with a highly absorptive RCA at oven dry (OD), saturated surface dry (SSD), and sub-SSD (i.e., 80 % SSD) moisture conditions. The batching water was not adjusted to account for the aggregate moisture condition to explicitly evaluate the effect of the RCA moisture condition. The 28-day compressive strength was found to be greatest for the sub-SSD RCA mix, followed by the OD RCA and SSD RCA mixes. No difference was found in the ITZ microstructure between mixtures with sub-SSD and SSD RCA. The OD RCA appreciably affected the ITZ by demanding water, which reduced the local water-to-cement ratio, yielded an increase in the unhydrated (UH) cement content, reduced the bulk microstructure porosity, and increased the estimated ITZ size. Because these ITZ trends do not directly correlate with the compressive strength trends, it is postulated that the sub-SSD will absorb some of the cement slurry during mixing, allowing for a stronger interfacial mechanical bond to form. This does not occur to the same extent for the SSD RCA, but will likely also occur for the OD RCA; however, the OD RCA absorbs so much water that it deters hydration, yielding a larger ITZ with a higher UH content, so the bulk strength of the mortar with OD RCA is less than that of mortar with sub-SSD RCA.
Performance, Combustion and Emission Characteristics of CI Engine Fueled with Sweet Lime Peel Oil (Citrus Limetta)
Authors: Logesh G. , Madhavan Venkataramanan
Published: March 2018

Fuels derived from biomass waste are of great interest because of their availability and renewable potential. Also, the depletion of fossil fuels and the subsequent search for new alternative fuels opened up a new arena of biomass research. Sweet lime oil (SLO), which is a waste biomass left from sweet lime fruit peel (Citrus limetta) contains flammable oil. The present work focuses on testing and promoting SLO as an alternative fuel in a diesel engine. Extracted SLO is blended with diesel in various proportions; the various test fuels used are a blend of 10 % SLO with 90 % neat diesel (denoted as SLO10), a blend of 20 % SLO with 80 % neat diesel (SLO20), a blend of 40 % SLO with 60 % neat diesel (SLO40), and 100 % SLO (SLO100). Experiments were conducted using a single-cylinder, constant speed, direct injection diesel engine at different load conditions. Outcomes were compared to conventional diesel fuel throughout the load. The results indicate that SLO100 has better results than the other test blends, with 33 % brake thermal efficiency. SLO diesel blends exhibited lower carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions with comparatively higher carbon dioxide emissions with respect to neat diesel fuel. Oxides of nitrogen are higher for all SLO blends, especially SLO100, compared to neat diesel. The peak cylinder pressure for SLO100 and the peak heat-release rate for SLO10 is greater than that of other test fuels. It was concluded that SLO100 can be used in a direct injection diesel engine without any engine modifications.
Energy-Based Forming Mechanism and Criterion for Zonal Disintegration
Authors: Chen Xuguang , Zhang Ning , Zhang Mingsheng , Niu Xiaodong , Li Yanlong
Published: March 2018

The law of energy dissipation and release during rock damage is studied, and the energy-based criterion for rock damage is obtained. Based on these findings, the mechanism and criterion for zonal disintegration are studied. An equivalent excavation model is proposed to obtain the releasable energy during the rock mass excavation. This releasable energy distribution in rock mass shows the elastoplastic boundary fractured with the release of the conserved energy. The zonal disintegration is thus revealed to be the circulation of this fracture along with the constant formation of the new elastoplastic boundary. Meanwhile, a sliding fracture model in polar coordinates is proposed, and the dissipated energy is calculated for the circle fracture formation. Consequently, the criterion for Zonal Disintegration Phenomenon (ZDP) is constructed according to the energy conservation law. Additionally, a formula is inferred through the criterion to determine the numbers of disintegration zones. This energy-based theory is verified as effective by applying it to an actual deep cavern where ZDP occurs.

Human herpesvirus 6A and 6B and NK cells
Authors: Rizzo Roberta , Di Luca Dario
Published: March 2018

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) comprises two viral species, HHV-6A and HHV-6B, closely related but differing for pathogenic and biological characteristics. Both viral species are predominantly lymphotropic, infecting T lymphocytes and other lymphoid cells, including natural killer (NK) cells. The interactions between HHV-6 and NK cells have been scarcely studied, but it has become clear that NK cells are not only crucial in immune protection during the early phases of infection, but also that HHV-6 infection can affect NK cell functions. In this report, we shortly summarize the interactions between HHV-6 and NK cells.
The ‘Celâlî effect’ on rural production and demography in central Anatolia
Authors: Orbay Kayhan
Published: March 2018

The Celâlî rebel armies ravaged the central Anatolian countryside from the late 16th up to the mid-17th century. The Celâlî movements brought about demographic changes and had a long-lasting impact on agricultural economy in some regions. Anatolian waqf institutions being dependent on rural taxpayers and agricultural production for their budgets were seriously harmed by the Celâlî rebellions. This paper examines the Celâlî effect through the Waqf of Hatuniyye which had villages scattered across central Anatolian districts. The waqf fell into a deep financial crisis and its regular functioning was disrupted in the early 17th century. The waqf finance was unable to recover for decades after the crisis, which indicates that rural economy in waqf villages suffered from a perpetual production and population crisis.

This aggressive behavior could be much more damaging when santri tend to disobey religious norms and laws both while they are inside or outside of their school. Self consciousness in implementation of religions teaching in this case was seen as an important aspect that needs to be implanted by santri as a way of their life so they can realize and avoiding negative and inappropriate behavior in daily life. A deep understanding of social norms in the other hand must be taught to santri so they can adapt with their environment and society and furthermore they can defend themselves from any bad influence which would come to their life.This research concluded that there is a significance and correlation between religious self consciousness with Santri’s aggressive behavior as were written and published in many theories.
