Modeling human migration across spatial scales in Colombia
Authors: Siraj Amir , Sorichetta Alessandro , España Guido , Tatem Andrew , Perkins Alex
Published: October 2019

Human mobility, both short and long term, are important considerations in the study of numerous systems. Economic and technological advances have led to a more interconnected global community, further increasing the need for considerations of human mobility. While data on human mobility are better recorded in many developed countries, availability of such data remains limited in many low- and middle-income countries around the world, particularly at the fine temporal and spatial scales required by many applications. In this study, we used 5-year census-based internal migration microdata for 32 departments in Colombia (i.e., Admin-1 level) to develop a novel spatial interaction modeling approach for estimating migration, at a finer spatial scale, among the 1,122 municipalities in the country (i.e., Admin-2 level). Our modeling approach bridges a significant gap in the availability of migration data at administrative unit levels finer than those at which migration data are typically recorded. Due to the widespread availability of census-based migration microdata at the Admin-1 level, our modeling approach opens up for the possibilities of modeling migration patterns at Admin-2 and Admin-3 levels across many other countries where such data are currently lacking.
“Of technical competence, perceived autonomy and relational expertise”: Understanding professional identity among nurses working in a stroke unit.
Authors: Martinez Rudolf Cymorr Kirby Palogan
Published: October 2019

This paper explored how nurses working in stroke unit conceptualized and make meaning their professional identity as reflected in their mundane everyday experience at the bedside. Grounded on focused ethnography, seven (7) informants from two stroke unit from two selected hospitals within Metro Manila were chosen to be informants in this study. Participants were selected based on the criteria that (1) They are currently working as nurses in the stroke unit with at least five years of exposure in the said area and (2) they are fluent in English and Tagalog and are willing to participate in this study. Interviews and story-telling sessions were done to gather the necessary narratives which was then analyzed via the process of thematization. After the process of analysis, three themes were identified and are as follows: (1) Technical proficiency as a sign of competence; (2) Perceived autonomy as a mark of dignity; (3) Relational expertise as a manifestation of seniority. The themes show in general how technical competence, perceived autonomy and relational expertise were seen by the informants as distinctive marks of their professional identity as nurses working in a stroke units. Insights from this study reveal the unique appreciation of nurses working in stroke unit of their concept of competence, autonomy and expertise. The said concepts are deeply ingrained in their everyday lives that it has become part of their disciplinary hallmarks. Since the ultimate aim of focused ethnography is not to produce a universal truth that can be applied to all context and setting but rather provide insights on specific context sensitive phenomena that will serve as a springboard for the improvement of the context where the insights were gleaned upon from, the following implications were proposed: Professional updates, trainings and preceptorship program that focus on technical competencies, communication skills, and conflict management techniques are suggested. Further, empowerment and inter professional bonding activities, such as open forums might also be beneficial in the context of collegiality and collaborative practice.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of Ipomoea batatas L. leaf extract as flocculants on the reduction of Ca2 + and Mg2 + (hardness) levels in water treatment for chemical practicum on environmental analysis at the FPMIPA UPI Chemical Department. This study continued from previous research on the optimization of Ipomoea batatas L. leaf extract as a flocculant in water treatment, the results of the study showed that Ipomoea batatas L. leaf extract can make water clearer and provide greater reduction in turbidity value. In this follow-up study it will be carried out through two stages, the first step is optimizing the optimum processing parameters. The second stage is water treatment using optimum processing parameters, followed by hardness testing in water samples before and after processing. In hardness testing the EDTA titration method is used with the EBT indicator. The results showed the optimum parameters of water treatment with Ipomoea batatas L leaf extract as flocculant was pH 6.5, coagulant dose 50 mg / L, flocculant dose 2 mg / L, stirring coagulant speed 200 rpm for 5 minutes, and flocculant stirring speed 40 rpm for 5 minutes. In testing the total hardness as CaCO3, the initial sample (without treatment) obtained hardness of 285 mg / L, whereas in the sample treated with Ipomoea batatas L. leaf extract as flocculant hardness was obtained at 190 mg / L. From the results of the study it can be concluded that Ipomoea batatas L. leaf extract as flocculant in water treatment can reduce the hardness level in water.
The Relation of Cognitive Activities and Students Comprehension to Spatial Isomorphism Diagram of Plant Anatomy in Senior High School
Authors: Mughni Nur Tsalits Fahman
Published: October 2019

Studying complex and abstract plant anatomy, the use of isomorphism diagram is one way to help students to understand the concepts. When studying diagram, students surely involve complex cognitive activities. One of The students’ successes in understanding the various concepts contained in the diagram, can be determined by cognitive activities that occur in working memory. This research is a descriptive study which includes 10 senior high school students in Bandung. The research aims to analyze the relation between cognitive activities and students’ comprehension towards spatial isomorphism diagrams of plant anatomy. The students are asked to analyze the spatial isomorphism diagrams of plant anatomical structures. Then, the students will be given questions to measure the level of comprehension after learning spatial isomorphism diagrams. The result shows that there are five kinds of cognitive activities when students study spatial isomorphism diagram. Those are activating prior knowledge, identifying images, comparing images, interpreting symbols, and drawing conclusion. Hence, there are several students who have low abilities, they only have two kinds of cognitive activities. This is in accordance with the level of students’ understanding of plant anatomy in the medium to low categories. The result shows that the type of cognitive activities that students have contributes the students’ conprehension of plant anatomy.
Masculinity on Stage
Authors: Vassiliadou Dimitra
Published: October 2019

Based on some forty duels that took place in Athens between 1870 and 1918, this article examines the different connotations middle-class dueling assumed in the political culture of the period. Drawing on newspaper articles, monographs, domestic codes of honor, legal texts, and published memoirs of duelists, it reveals the diversified character of male honor as value and emotion. Approaching dueling both as symbol and practice, the article argues that this ritualistic battle was imported to Greece against a background of fin de siècle political instability and passionate calls for territorial expansion and national integration. The duel gradually became a powerful way of influencing public opinion and the field of honor evolved into a theatrical stage for masculinity, emanating a distinct glamor: the glamor of a public figure who was prepared to lay down his life for his principles, his party, the proclamations he endorsed, and his “name.”

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Brudek Tomasz
Published: October 2019

The etiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is multifactorial, with genetics, aging, and environmental agents all a part of the PD pathogenesis. Widespread aggregation of the α-synuclein protein in the form of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, and degeneration of substantia nigra dopamine neurons are the pathological hallmarks of PD. Inflammatory responses manifested by glial reactions, T cell infiltration, and increased expression of inflammatory cytokines, as well as other toxic mediators derived from activated glial cells, are currently recognized as prominent features of PD. Experimental, clinical and epidemiological data suggest that intestinal inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of PD, and the increasing number of studies suggests that the condition may start in the gastrointestinal system years before any motor symptoms develop. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a higher risk of developing PD compared with non-IBD individuals. Gene association study has found a genetic link between IBD and PD, and an evidence from animal studies suggests that gut inflammation, similar to that observed in IBD, may induce loss of dopaminergic neurons. Based on preclinical models of PD, it is suggested that the enteric microbiome changes early in PD, and gut infections trigger α-synuclein release and aggregation. In this paper, the possible link between IBD and PD is reviewed based on the available literature. Given the potentially critical role of gastrointestinal pathology in PD pathogenesis, there is reason to suspect that IBD or its treatments may impact PD risk. Thus, clinicians should be aware of PD symptoms in IBD patients.
Faecal Transplantation, Pro- and Prebiotics in Parkinson’s Disease; Hope or Hype?
Authors: Van Laar T. , Boertien J.M. , Herranz A. Horta
Published: October 2019

Abstract Faecal microbiome transplantation (FMT) is an attractive technique, because the administration is relatively simple and in general has a mild adverse effect pattern. Moreover, FMT consists of a broad mixture, which could be beneficial, because at this moment it is not known what type of changes in the microbiome are needed. However, except from a few cases no clinical data in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is available yet. There is some indication that FMT might be beneficial in severe constipated PD patients, but the clinical data to support this are very scarce. So, actually there are no good data in the public domain to support FMT at this moment in PD patients. FMT at this moment is a black box with too many unanswered questions, also with respect to safety concerns. Only the administration of species of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium over a time period of four to twelve weeks has repeatedly proven to be effective in treating constipation in PD. Also, no solid clinical data are available about the possible effects of probiotic treatment on motor symptoms or progression of PD. Therefore, also probiotic treatments in PD should wait until better clinical data become available, in order to select the right target populations and to have good estimates of the clinical effects to be expected.

INTRODUCTION:

Vitamin D deficiency and anemia are examples of nutritional problems of global health significance. When these health issues effect pregnant women, they may become a threat to the fetus’ potention for intrauterine growth. It has been known that the first trimester is the golden period of fetal programming which influences the fetuses and their life after birth. This study was aiming to analyze the association between first trimester maternal vitamin D, serum ferritin, hemoglobin level and neonatal birth weight.

METHODS:

From July 2016 a prospective cohort of pregnant women had been observed in four cities in West Java, Indonesia. Two hundred ninety four pregnant women were recuited in the first trimester and 203 of them had complete follow up until delivery. Collected data included maternal demography, blood analysis for ferritin, 25(OH) vitamin D in the first trimester of pregnancy and the birth weight of neonates. Associations were analyzed with multiple regression models.

RESULTS:

Vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent among pregnant women in this study (approximately 75%) while anemia was found in 7.5 %, a little above the target of 5 %. However, no significant association was found between maternal serum vitamin D, serum ferritin, hemoglobin level in the first trimester and birth weight of the neonates, before and after adjustment for maternal age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, and parity.

CONCLUSION:

There were no associations found between vitamin D, ferritin, and hemoglobin level in the first trimester and neonatal birth weight. The negative results in this study should not diminish the benefit of nutritional supplementation during pregnancy. The possibility of other explanatory variables that influence these associations warrants further studies.

Energy efficiency and economic growth
Authors: Bashmakov Igor A.
Published: October 2019

Many Russian and foreign economists are not sure, why it is essential to take efforts to improve energy efficiency in general and in Russia in particular. Unlike labour productivity improvement, energy efficiency improvements are viewed as desirable for the economic growth, yet not at all sine qua non, as economic growth is taken as mostly driven by labour and capital, with an inconspicuous shadow of energy vaguely swaying in the background. This paper aims to show the actual importance of improving energy efficiency to achieve economic growth. It highlights the contribution of energy efficiency in addressing five problems related to economic growth: removal of growth constraints by improving the affordability of energy; improvement of competitiveness; enhancement of multifactor productivity through a better ‘quality of energy’; mitigation of the natural resources scarcity; ensuring growth despite tough environmental limitations. Historically, 1 percent GDP per capita growth requires 0.5—0.8% reduction in GDP energy intensity. This latter value grows as the level of economic development increases.
Tanggung Jawab dalam Levering pada Perjanjian Jual Beli secara Online
Authors: Zulaeha Mulyani
Published: October 2019

Perkembangan transaksi jual beli saat ini dengan menggunakan media elektronik telah mengubah wajah hubungan jual beli. Jual beli tidak lagi harus dilakukan pada satu tempat yang sama secara face to face, namun dapat dilakukan oleh orang yang berbeda lokasi. Meskipun demikian, ketentuan hukum tentang jual beli tetap berlaku. Perbedaan yang terjadi adalah terkait penyerahan barang (levering) yang telah dibeli tidak dapat dilakukan secara langsung antara penjual dengan pembeli. Menurut ketentuan Pasal 1459 KUHPerdata bahwa “Hak milik atas barang yang dijual tidaklah berpindah kepada si pembeli selama penyerahannya belum dilakukan”. Levering pada jual beli online tidak dilakukan dalam waktu yang bersamaan dengan terjadinya kesepakatan dan terdapat peran pihak ketiga dalam levering, yaitu pihak jasa pengiriman barang, hal ini dapat menimbulkan permasalahan hukum terkait tanggung jawab dalam proses peralihan hak tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis pihak yang bertanggung jawab pada proses levering perjanjian jual beli secara online. Menggunakan penelitian yuridis normatif dapat dijelaskan  bahwa tanggung jawab dalam peralihan hak pada perjanjian jual beli secara online adalah tanggung jawab pihak penjual kecuali jika diperjanjikan lain

Authors: Miles Sandra J , Lord Roger , Williams Damian , Fulbrook Paul
Published: October 2019

Background: Chronic venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are costly to the healthcare system and a burden to patients, significantly reducing quality of life. Nitric oxide (NO) is important to wound healing, with a small study demonstrating a NO donor, topical glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), was effective for VLU healing. The aim of this study is to examine the application of topical GTN in relation to VLU healing.
Methods: A pilot double-blinded randomised controlled clinical trial will be undertaken. Participants in the control group (n=20) will receive a placebo ointment (ointment base) and participants in the treatment group (n=20) will receive a NO donor (base ointment with 2% GTN) weekly for 4 weeks. The inclusion criteria will be adults >18 years of age with a chronic VLU. Rate of healing will be determined by planimetry (ulcer tracing) using the Gillman equation.
Significance: This clinical trial aims to provide proof of concept of a novel treatment, topical GTN, which may accelerate wound healing through improvements to vasodilation and antimicrobial properties at the wound bed.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia in Coronary Care Unit of a tertiary level hospital in Bangladesh: causative organisms and pattern of antibiotic sensitivity
Authors: Karim Md Rezaul , Mayedah Rita , Cader Fathima Aaysha
Published: October 2019

Background: Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a frequent nosocomial infection. The etiology of VAP varieswith different patient populations and types of critical care settings.

Materials & methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) ofIbrahim Cardiac Hospital & Research Institute from April 2016 to November 2016. Demographic details andincidence of VAP was recorded and analysed by appropriate statistical tests.

Results: 52 patients required mechanical ventilation, of whom 19 (36.5%) developed VAP. 15 (78.9%) had early VAP,while 4 (21.2%) had late VAP. CPIS, Modified CPIS and APACHE II Score- all were significantly higher among thosewho developed VAP (p<0.01). The most frequent indication for intubation among those who developed VAP was type Irespiratory failure (57.9%), type II respiratory failure (15.8%) and post-cardiac arrest (26.3%). Acinetobacter (31.6%)was the commonest organism isolated on tracheal aspirate, followed by Pseudomonas (21.05%), Candida (21.05%)and Klebsiella (10.5%). Acinetobacter, Klebsiella and MRSA were the organisms isolated from tracheal aspirates ofthose with late onset VAP. Acinetobacter was mostly sensitive to Colistin, 80% of Pseudomonas is also sensitive tosame. A number of organisms were resistant to Amikacin and Imipenem.

Conclusion: The commonest organism responsible for VAP in our CCU was Acinetobacter, which was largely sensitiveto Colistin. The emergence of antibiotic resistance of microorganisms causing VAP is a matter of serious concern inthis study. Regular surveillance of antibiotic susceptibility pattern is very important to prevent multi-resistant bacterialinfections.

Seed Yield and Lodging Assessment in Red Fescue (Festuca rubra L.) Sprayed with Trinexapac-Ethyl
Authors: Bitarafan Zahra , Rasmussen Jesper , Westergaard Jesper Cairo , Andreasen Christian
Published: October 2019

Red fescue (Festuca rubra) is used in seed mixtures for lawns and pastures. It is prone to lodge at flowering, and plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used to prevent lodging, ensuring sufficient pollination. Seed yield and lodging were studied over three years in a red fescue field established with four seeding rates (2, 4, 6 and 8 kg ha−1) and sprayed each year with three doses of the PGR trinexapac-ethyl (250 g L−1) (0, 0.3, 0.6 and 1.2 L ha−1). Half of each plot was sprayed with the PGR and the other half was left unsprayed as control. The degree of lodging was assessed by analysing drone images in the second year of the experiment and using a 10-point scale for scoring lodging at the ground. Generally, application of PGR increased the seed yield but the effect varied between years. There was no interaction between the PGR dosage and seeding rate. We found a positive correlation between the blue intensity of the images and lodging. PGR dosage significantly affected lodging evaluated by visual ranking and the blue intensity of the images, while the seeding rates did not affect lodging. Lodging affected seed yield negatively.

With the rising awareness on environmental issues and the increasing risks through industrial development, clean up remediation measures have become the need of the hour. Bioremediation has become increasingly popular owing to its environmentally friendly approaches and cost effectiveness. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are an alarming threat to human welfare as well as the environment. They top the list of hazardous xenobiotics. The multiple effects these compounds render to the niche is not unassessed. Bioremediation does appear promising, with myco remediation having a clear edge over bacterial remediation. In the following review, the inputs of white-rot fungi in PCB remediation are examined and the lacunae in the practical application of this versatile technology highlighted. The unique abilities of Pleurotus ostreatus and its deliverables with respect to removal of PCBs are presented. The need for improvising P. ostreatus-mediated remediation is emphasized.
Labeled Multi-Bernoulli Filter Joint Detection and Tracking of Radar Targets

Published: October 2019

A labeled multi-Bernoulli (LMB) filter is presented to jointly detect and track radar targets. A relevant LMB filter is recently proposed by Rathnayake which assumes that the measurements of different targets do not overlap, leading to the favorable separable likelihood assumption. However, new or close tracks often violate the assumption and lead to a bias in the cardinality estimate. To address this problem, a one-to-one association method between measurements and tracks is proposed. In our method, any target only corresponds to its associated measurements and different tracks have little mutual interference. In addition, an approximate method for calculating the point spread function of radar is developed to improve the computational efficiency of likelihood function. The simulation under low signal-to-noise ratio scenario with closely spaced targets have demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluid is a smart material fabricated by mixing magnetic-responsive particles with non-magnetic-responsive carrier fluids. MR fluid dampers are able to provide rapid and reversible changes to their damping coefficient. To optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of such devices, a computational model is developed and presented where the flow field is simulated using the computational fluid dynamics approach, coupled with the magnetohydrodynamics model. Three different inlet pressure profiles were designed to replicate real loading conditions are examined, namely a constant pressure, a sinusoidal pressure profile, and a pressure profile mimicking the 1994 Northbridge earthquake. When the MR fluid damper was in its off-state, a linear pressure drop between the inlet and the outlet was observed. When a uniform perpendicular external magnetic field was applied to the annular orifice of the MR damper, a significantly larger pressure drop was observed across the annular orifice for all three inlet pressure profiles. It was shown that the fluid velocity within the magnetized annular orifice decreased proportionally with respect to the strength of the applied magnetic field until saturation was reached. Therefore, it was clearly demonstrated that the present model was capable of accurately capturing the damping characteristics of MR fluid dampers.

Published: October 2019

Potassium bicarbonate (PB), calcium chelate (CCh), and sodium silicate (SSi) have been extensively used as antifungal generally recognized as safe (GRAS) compounds against plant pathogenic fungi. In this research, in in vitro tests, the radial growth, conidial germination, and germ tube elongation of Botrytis cinerea was completely inhibited at 0.3% of PB, SSi, and CCh. In in vivo tests, application of PB, SSi, and CCh completely inhibited the occurrence of gray mold incidence of inoculated ‘Italia’ grape berries at concentrations of 1.0, 0.8, and 0.8%, respectively. In order to investigate the detailed mechanisms by which salts exhibited antifungal activity, we analyzed their influence on morphological changes by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and also on reactive species of oxygen (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content. Defects such as malformation and excessive septation were detected on salt-treated hyphae morphology observed by SEM. The internal structure of conidia treated or not with salt solutions was examined by TEM. In treated conidia, most of the conidia were affected and cellular vacuolization and cytoplasmic disorganization was observed. For ROS accumulation, a higher increase was observed in fluorescent conidia in presence of PB, SSi, and CCh by 75, 68, and 70% as compared to control, respectively. MMP was significantly decreased after salt application indicating a loss of mitochondria function. Also, luminescence showed that B. cinerea-conidia treated with salts contained less ATP than the untreated conidia. The results obtained herein are a step towards a comprehensive understanding of the mode of action by which salts act as antifungal agents against B. cinerea.

Immune checkpoint receptors with co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory signals are important modulators for the immune system. However, unrestricted co-stimulation and/or inadequate co-inhibition may cause breakdown of self-tolerance, leading to autoimmunity. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex multi-organ disease with skewed and dysregulated immune responses interacting with genetics and the environment. The close connections between co-signaling pathways and SLE have gradually been established in past research. Also, the recent success of immune checkpoint blockade in cancer therapy illustrates the importance of the co-inhibitory receptors in cancer immunotherapy. Moreover, immune checkpoint blockade could result in substantial immune-related adverse events that mimic autoimmune diseases, including lupus. Together, immune checkpoint regulators represent viable immunotherapeutic targets for the treatment of both autoimmunity and cancer. Therefore, it appears reasonable to treat SLE by restoring the out-of-order co-signaling axis or by manipulating collateral pathways to control the pathogenic immune responses. Here, we review the current state of knowledge regarding the relationships between SLE and the co-signaling pathways of T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and neutrophils, and highlight their potential clinical implications. Current clinical trials targeting the specific co-signaling axes involved in SLE help to advance such knowledge, but further in-depth exploration is still warranted.

Published: October 2019

Power transfer efficiency is an important issue in wireless power transfer (WPT). In actual applications, the WPT system may be exposed to a complex electromagnetic environment. The metal which is inevitably or accidentally close to the system will impact the power transfer efficiency. Most previous research has aimed at the effect of the metallic sheet paralleled to the resonant coil. This paper focuses on the effect of the metallic plate perpendicular to the resonant coils. Firstly, based on the theoretical analysis, a simulation model is setup using COMSOL Multiphysics. The efficiencies of the double-coils magnetic resonant WPT system with the presence of the parallel and vertical aluminum plate are studied comparatively. Efficiency improvement is observed with the vertical plate while the reduction appeared with the presence of the parallel plate. The vertical metallic plate has shown a magnetic field shielding effect according to the magnetic field distribution. It can reduce the radial magnetic field and enhance the axial magnetic field. Then, the effects of the position and size of the vertical plate are studied. It is found that the transfer efficiency has a preferable improvement when the vertical aluminum plate with a larger size is placed between the resonant coils and near outer edge of the windings. Finally, the experiment is carried out to verify the effect of the vertical aluminum plate on the WPT system.
A Novel Real-Time Mechanism Modeling Approach for Turbofan Engine

Published: October 2019

Nonlinear component level model (NCLM) is a widely used model for aeroengines. However, it requires iterative calculation and is, therefore, time-consuming, which restricts its real-time application. This study aims at developing a simplified real-time modeling approach for turbofan engines. A mechanism modeling approach is proposed based on linear models to avoid the iterative calculation in NCLM so as to effectively reduce the computational complexity. Linear local models, of which the outputs are the solution of the balance equations in NCLM, are established at the ground operating points and are combined into a linear parameter varying (LPV) state-space model. Then, the model is extended throughout the full flight envelope in a polytopic expression and is integrated with the flow path calculation to obtain satisfactory real-time performance. In order to ensure the accuracy of the integrated model, the upper bound of convergence residual of the iteration is strictly set and consideration on the interpolation method is taken. The simulation results demonstrate that the integrated model requires much less computational resources than the NCLM does. Meanwhile, it maintains an acceptable accuracy performance and, therefore, is suitable for real-time application.

Published: October 2019

During the production of deepwater wells, downhole perforation safety is one of the key technical problems. The perforation fluctuating pressure is an important factor in assessing the wellbore safety threat. Due to difficulty in describing the downhole perforation pressure by using the existing empirical correlations, a prediction model based on data fitting of a large number of numerical simulations has been proposed. Firstly, a numerical model is set up to obtain the dynamic data of downhole perforation, and the exponential attenuation model of perforation pressure in the wellbore is established. Secondly, a large number of numerical simulations have been carried out through orthogonal test design. The results reveal that the downhole perforation pressure is logarithmic to the total charge quantity, increases linearly to the wellbore initial pressure, shows an exponential relationship with downhole effective volume for perforation, and has a power relationship with the thickness of casing and cement as well as formation elastic modulus. Thirdly, the prediction of perforation peak pressure at different positions along the wellbore agrees well with the field measurement within a 10% error. Finally, the results of this study have been applied in the field case, and an optimization scheme for deepwater downhole perforation safety has been put forward.
