Automation in Upstream Production Chemicals: Learning from Downstream
Authors: Grutters Mark , Shetty Sandeep , Brown Winthrop , Dunn Russell , Coadey Brendan
Published: March 2019

There is a growing demand for digital solutions to improve efficiency of oil & gas processing. The ultimate goal is digital platforms that connect multiple information sources, both software and hardware, to make better operational decisions and dramatically improve efficiency. Development of these holistic platforms is still relatively new, although various smaller applications of data digitization and equipment automation do exist. In this paper three field cases will be given to demonstrate the powerful benefits of data digitization and automation. Field Case 1 describes a data management tool that connects field data with SAP and LIMS. The customizable surveillance screens refresh with new laboratory data as soon as they are uploaded in LIMS, and show how water composition trends in relation to corrosion coupons help to optimize costs for corrosion inhibitor. Field Case 2 describes a completely autonomous injection skid to mitigate H2S in a well that requires periodic intervention for paraffin treatment. A scavenger is injected downhole at a dosage rate that is determined by real-time H2S analysers coupled with production flow data, and maintains a zero concentration of H2S at the well head. This novel solution improves personnel safety by enabling work-over crews to work under less hazardous conditions. Field Case 3 describes an automated system for a refinery cooling water system, where a single controller orchestrates five chemical injection pumps based on real-time input from multiple analysers and sensors. From these field cases it can be concluded that digitization and automation tools provide easy, cost- effective and powerful solutions to improve efficiency in oilfield operations. It enables field operators and managers to focus on value adding tasks. When the vast downstream experience of using sophisticated controllers, sensors and analysers is applied to upstream environments efficiency in oil & gas processing facilities can be further improved with lower human intervention.
An Investigation into Apparent Differences Between Injection Transmissibility and Falloff Transmissibility in Oil Reservoirs Subject to Water Injection
Authors: Rahman N M , Obathani Omar H
Published: March 2019

When water is injected into an oil reservoir, estimates of fluid transmissibility from the respective log-log plots show substantial differences between magnitudes out of injection and falloff models. This observation appears to be anomalous when compared to the cases of producing wells where there are no marked differences in transmissibility estimated from drawdown and buildup models. This study investigates the reason behind the differences in fluid transmissibility estimated from injection and falloff models.

We have developed high-resolution, numerical models to illustrate differences in log-log plots observed in the injection and falloff periods. To explain the anomalous behavior, we have reviewed the fundamental principle of superposition which is particularly applicable in production wells. However, we have found that the principle of superposition falls apart while applying during injection periods due to a lack of static equilibrium of the transmissibility distribution around the injection wells. In contrast, the principle of superposition is still applicable during the falloff period following a period of water injection. As a result, differences in injection and falloff models appear on the log-log plots.

The requirement of linearity on the part of the principle of superposition breaks down due to changing transmissibility in the vicinity of the injection wells during the injection periods. This invalidates the method of estimating the fluid transmissibility during the injection periods. But during the falloff periods, the transmissibility distribution in the reservoir gets back to its equilibrium condition. Hence the estimates of the mobility from the models during the falloff periods on the log-log plot are valid as demonstrated with isothermal and non-isothermal cases.

This study is to show how it is misleading in estimating the mobility from injection-pressure data contrary to conventional wisdom. With this knowledge, reservoir engineers will be able to steer clear of the trap of wrongful analysis of transient-pressure data.

Authors: DURU Mehmet Emin , TEL-ÇAYAN Gülsen , DEVECİ Ebru
Published: March 2019

In this study, we investigated antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities of the hexane, chloroform, acetone, methanol and water extracts of F. torulosa mushroom with total phenolic contents. Also, HPLC-DAD was used to identify phenolic profile of F. torulosa. The acetone and methanol extracts of F. torulosa with the highest total phenolic contents showed the highest antioxidant activity in all assays except metal chelating assay. Furthermore, antioxidant activities of the acetone and methanol extract were found to be higher than α-tocopherol and BHA used as standards in DPPH•, ABTS•+ and CUPRAC assays. When F. torulosa hexane extract (41.34±1.50 %) showed moderate AChE inhibitory activity, the acetone (40.78±0.30 %) and methanol (45.39±0.65 %) extracts of F. torulosa indicated moderate BChE inhibitory activity. Major phenolic compounds were identified as trans-2-hydroxy cinnamic acid (10.05 µg/g), gallic acid (5.01 µg/g) and p-coumaric acid (3.04 µg/g). These results suggest that F. torulosa mushroom could be used as a valuable natural antioxidant source for pharmaceutical industry.
Marriage and the theology of Hebrews. A theological reading of Heb 12:28–13:6 with a focus on marriag
Authors: Milli Rodrigues Adriani
Published: March 2019

Taking into account the debate about the continuity or discontinuity in Heb 1-12 and Heb 13, with the implication of whether the hortatory material in chapter 13 is consistent with chapters 1-12 or it is a list of miscellaneous exhortations instead, this article seeks to discern connections between the concept of marriage in 13:4 with the ideas stated in 12:28–13:6. This endeavor is informed by a reading of 12:28-13:6 made in three steps. First, 12:28-29 is read as a transition for the hortatory material in chapter 13. Second, 13:1-6 is traced as a conceptual structure for the understanding of marriage in 13:4. Third, the article identifies connections of the exhortation about marriage in 13:4 with ideas developed in 12:28-29 and 13:1-6.

Published: March 2019

Background:

Antibacterial peptidyl derivative - Cystapep 1, was previously found to be
active both against antibiotic-resistant staphylococci and streptococci as well as antibioticsusceptible
strains of these species. Therefore, it is a promising lead compound to search for new
antimicrobial peptidomimetics.

Objective:

We focused on identifying structural elements that are responsible for the biological
activity of Cystapep 1 and its five analogues. We tried to find an answer to the question about the
mechanism of action of the tested compounds. Therefore, we have investigated in details the possibility
of interacting these compounds with biological membrane mimetics.

Methods:

The subject compounds were synthesized in solution, purified and characterized by
HPLC and mass spectrometry. Then, the staphylococci susceptibility tests were performed and their
cytotoxicity was established. The results of Cystapep 1 and its analogues interactions with model
target were examined using the DSC and ITC techniques. At the end the spatial structures of the
tested peptidomimetics using NMR technique were obtained.

Results:

Antimicrobial and cytotoxicity tests show that Cystapep 1 and its peptidomimetic V are
good drug candidates. DSC and ITC studies indicate that disruption of membrane is not the only
possible mechanism of action of Cystapep 1-like compounds. For Cystapep 1 itself, a multi-step
mechanism of interaction with a negatively charged membrane is observed, which indicates other
processes occurring alongside the binding process. The conformational analysis indicated the presence
of a hydrophobic cluster, composed of certain side chains, only in the structures of active peptidomimetics.
This can facilitate the anchoring of the peptidyl derivatives to the bacterial membrane.

Conclusion:

An increase in hydrophobicity of the peptidomimetics improved the antimicrobial
activity against S. aureus, however there is no simple correlation between the biological activity
and the strength of interactions of the peptidyl with bacterial membrane.
Bispecific Antibody (bsAb) Construct Formats and their Application in Cancer Therapy
Authors: Acheampong Desmond O.
Published: March 2019

Development of cancers mostly involves more than one signal pathways, because of the complicated nature of cancer cells. As such, the most effective treatment option is the one that stops the cancer cells in their tracks by targeting these signal pathways simultaneously. This explains why therapeutic monoclonal antibodies targeted at cancers exert utmost activity when two or more are used as combination therapy. This notwithstanding, studies elsewhere have proven that when bispecific antibody (bsAb) is engineered from two conventional monoclonal antibodies or their chains, it produces better activity than when used as combination therapy. This therefore presents bispecific antibody (bsAb) as the appropriate and best therapeutic agent for the treatment of such cancers. This review therefore discusses the various engineering formats for bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) and their applications.
High Resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy on Biological Tissue and Metabolomics
Authors: Lin Yanqin , Zeng Qing , Lin Liangjie , Chen Zhong
Published: March 2019

High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a universal
analytical tool. It can provide detailed information on chemical shifts, J coupling constants,
multiplet patterns, and relative peak areas. It plays an important role in the fields of chemistry,
biology, medicine, and pharmacy. A highly homogeneous magnetic field is a prerequisite for
excellent spectral resolution. However, in some cases, such as in vivo and ex vivo biological
tissues, the magnetic field inhomogeneity due to magnetic susceptibility variation in samples
is unavoidable and hard to eliminate by conventional methods. The techniques based on intermolecular
multiple quantum coherences and conventional single quantum coherence can
remove the influence of the field inhomogeneity effects and be applied to obtain highresolution
NMR spectra of biological tissues, including in vivo animal and human tissues.
Broadband 1H homo-decoupled NMR spectroscopy displays J coupled resonances as collapsed
singlets, resulting in highly resolved spectra. It can be used to acquire high-resolution
spectra of some pharmaceuticals. The J-difference edited spectra can be used to detect J coupled
metabolites, such as γ-aminobutyric acid, the detection of which is interfered by intense
neighboring peaks. High-resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy has been widely utilized for the
identification and characterization of biological fluids, constituting an important tool in drug
discovery, drug development, and disease diagnosis.

Published: March 2019

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a cytostatic antibiotic from the class of anthracyclines widely used in chemotherapeutic cancer treatments. Despite the efficiency against several types of cancer, the use of DOX remains limited due to the side effects, especially cardiotoxicity. Among the DOX administration strategies, there are the “classic players” such as nanoparticles and polymers, which are capable of DOX delivery directly to interesting neoplastic regions. On the other hand, the “new players” such as phytochemicals and probiotics emerged with the proposal to react with DOX free radicals, reducing the oxidative stress, inflammatory and apoptotic process. Thus, this review aims to report the studies involving these classics and new players along the years that focus on improved administration and reduction of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Published: March 2019

Background:

It is well known that long living individuals are a model of successful ageing and that the identification of both genetic variants and environmental factors that predispose to a long and healthy life is of tremendous interest for translational medicine.

Methods:

We present the preliminary findings obtained from an ongoing study on longevity conducted on a sample of Sicilian long-lived individuals.

Results:

We review the characteristics of longevity in Sicily, taking into account lifestyle, environment, genetics, hematochemical values, body composition and immunophenotype. In addition, we discuss the possible implications of our data for the prevention and/or treatment of age-related diseases.

Conclusion:

As widely discussed in this review, the explanation of the role of genetics and lifestyle in longevity can provide important information on how to develop drugs and/or behaviours that can slow down or delay ageing. Thus, it will be possible to understand, through a “positive biology” approach, how to prevent and/or reduce elderly frailty and disability.
Genomic Insights into the Adaptive Convergent Evolution
Authors: Hao Yan , Qu Yanhua , Song Gang , Lei Fumin
Published: March 2019

Adaptive convergent evolution, which refers to the same or similar phenotypes produced by species from independent lineages under similar selective pressures, has been widely examined for a long time. Accumulating studies on the adaptive convergent evolution have been reported from many different perspectives (cellular, anatomical, morphological, physiological, biochemical, and behavioral). Recent advances in the genomic technologies have demonstrated that adaptive convergence can arise from specific genetic mechanisms in different hierarchies, ranging from the same nucleotide or amino acid substitutions to the biological functions or pathways. Among these genetic mechanisms, the same amino acid changes in protein-coding genes play an important role in adaptive phenotypic convergence. Methods for detecting adaptive convergence at the protein sequence level have been constantly debated and developed. Here, we review recent progress on using genomic approaches to evaluate the genetic mechanisms of adaptive convergent evolution, summarize the research methods for identifying adaptive amino acid convergence, and discuss the future perspectives for researching adaptive convergent evolution.
A Review on the Antitumor Activity of Various Nitrogenous-based Heterocyclic Compounds as NSCLC Inhibitors
Authors: Liu Jia-Chun , Narva Suresh , Zhou Kang , Zhang Wen
Published: March 2019

At present, cancers have been causing deadly fears to humans and previously unpredictable
losses to health. Especially, lung cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality
accounting for approximately 15% of all cancer cases worldwide. While Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinomas
(NSCLCs) makes up to 80% of lung cancer cases. The patient compliance has been weakening
because of serious drug resistance and adverse drug effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the
development of novel structural agents to inhibit NSCLCs. Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds
exhibit wide range of biological properties, especially antitumor activity. We reviewed some
deadly defects of clinical medicines for the lung cancer therapy and importance of nitrogen based heterocyclic
derivatives against NSCLCs. Nitrogen heterocycles exhibit significant antitumor activity
against NSCLCs. Nitrogen heterocyclic hybrids could be developed as multi-target-directed NSCLC
inhibitors and it is believed that the review is significant for rational designs and new ideas in the development
of nitrogen heterocyclic-based drugs.

We tested the effects of regulatory focus on the asymmetric perception of losses versus nongains and of gains versus nonlosses. In Experiment 1, situational regulatory focus was manipulated by a priming task and then participants evaluated the outcome fairness of different distribution
scenarios. In Experiment 2, participants completed the Regulatory Focus Questionnaire and then evaluated the outcome fairness of various distribution scenarios. Results showed that: (a) The gains versus nonlosses asymmetry in perceived fairness was stronger with a situational promotion focus,
and the losses versus nongains asymmetry in perceived unfairness was stronger with a situational prevention focus; (b) The losses versus nongains asymmetry in perceived unfairness was stronger with a chronic prevention focus, whereas the gains versus nonlosses asymmetry in perceived fairness
was positive with both a chronic promotion focus and chronic prevention focus. Taken together, the findings demonstrate that a situational regulatory focus has more extensive effects than does a chronic regulatory focus on asymmetric perceptions of outcomes. These results offer insights for
understanding the differences between chronic and situational regulatory focus.
A comparative study of beam design curves against lateral torsional buckling using AISC, EC and SP
Authors: Galishnikova Vera V , Gebre Tesfaldet H
Published: March 2019

Introduction. Structural stability is an essential part of design process for steel structures and checking the overall stability is very important for the determination of the optimum steel beams section. Lateral torsional buckling (LTB) normally associated with beams subject to vertical loading, buckling out of the plane of the applied loads and it is a primary consideration in the design of steel structures, consequently it may reduce the load currying capacity. Methods. There are several national codes to verify the steel beam against LTB. All specifications have different approach for the treatment of LTB and this paper is concentrated on three different methods: America Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), Eurocode (EC) and Russian Code (SP). The attention is focused to the methods of developing LTB curves and their characteristics. Results. AISC specification identifies three regimes of buckling depending on the unbraced length of the member ( Lb ). However, EC and SP utilize a reduction factor (χ LT ) to treat lateral torsional buckling problem. In general, flexural capacities according to AISC are higher than those of EC and SP for non-compact sections.
Curved closed profiles and calculation of their optimal parameters
Authors: Marutyan Alexander S
Published: March 2019

Relevance. A new technical solution of bent-closed profiles relating to light steel thin-walled structures (LSTS), which have high technical and economic indicators and are widely used in industrial and civil construction, is presented. Aim of the research. The characteristics of thin-walled structures can be further enhanced by shaping the modification of profiles, combining in its composition the outlines of closed and open outlines. Methods. By means of developmental studies and optimization and design calculations for bent-closed profiles, their new technical solution was developed, the originality of which was confirmed by patent examination. Results. New curved closed profiles (CCP) consist of a tubular part of a single thickness and a double-thickness rib. For their manufacture without welded, bolted or riveted joints, the sheet blank is made along the entire length with serrated longitudinal edges, the teeth of which are arranged relative to each other in a staggered manner and mutually bent in grooves between themselves after the curved profile is closed along its edge. The bends of the gear fasteners increase the thickness of the collapse and provide an increase in the shear strength of the joints of thin-walled elements. With equal dimensions in height and width of the CCP, they are optimized by the criterion of uniform stability, which is the same from the plane and in the plane of the supporting structure. Additionally, a series of pentagonal, triangular and trapezoidal profiles are presen- ted, in which the lateral faces are inclined relative to the vertical at angles of 45 and 60 degrees.

Climate change and tropical marine ecosystems: A review with an emphasis on coral reefs
Authors: Kleypas Joan A. Kleypas A.
Published: March 2019

Climate change is usually associated with warming and weather extremes that impact the human environment and terrestrial systems, but it also has profound effects on the ocean, which is probably the most unique, life-supporting feature of planet Earth. The most direct consequence of rising CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is “ocean acidification,” a term that refers to the lowering of seawater pH, but encompasses a suite of chemical changes that affect marine organisms from shell formation, to reproduction, physiology, and behavior. The oceans are also warming in pace with the atmosphere, and in fact store the vast majority of the additional heat generated by rising CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This warming is causing the more mobile marine species to redistribute poleward and deeper, and is causing high mortality in more sessile species such as those that build and habituate coral reefs. But warming is also leading to a decrease in dissolved oxygen in the oceans. For tropical marine ecosystems, the combination of ocean acidification, warming, and deoxygenation will continue to impact marine ecosystems in the future. The extent of these impacts depends on which energy pathway society follows, and our abilities to reduce other stressors and assist the rate at which species can adapt and migrate to more suitable environments.
Ecosistemas marinos antárticos después del rompimiento de barreras de hielo
Authors: Vernet María , Cape Mattias R.
Published: March 2019

Los desprendimientos en las barreras de hielo antárticas proveen una oportunidad única para entender la evolución de ecosistemas costeros y las consecuencias de cambio global abrupto en altas latitudes. Los ecosistemas desarrollados debajo de las barreras de hielo han estado aislados de la atmósfera por miles de años y permanecen en gran medida desconocidos hasta el presente. Una de las regiones más activas al respecto es el este de la Península Antárctica donde varias barreras de hielo han ido desapareciendo en los últimos 100 años, en un gradiente de norte a sur. El evento más reciente fue el desprendimiento de un témpano gigantesco de 5.800 Km2 de la barrera Larsen C, denominado A68, el 12 de julio de 2017. Una vez que la barrera de hielo desaparece, las aguas subyacentes se encuentran expuestas a la atmósfera en condiciones para sostener crecimiento del fitoplancton. El carbono orgánico producido puede a su vez alimentar zooplancton y bentos y mantener una trama trófica marina. De esta manera, áreas previamente no productivas pueden ahora absorber dióxido de carbono y contribuir a la absorción del mismo por aguas oceánicas.

Reintroducing John Maurice Clark to the Accounting Academy
Authors: Collier Deirdre M.
Published: March 2019

This paper reintroduces economist John Maurice Clark to the accounting academic community while investigating his role in the development of managerial accounting. Clark was a prominent American economist during the early half of the 20th century, whose first major book, Studies in the Economics of Overhead Costs (Clark 1923a), has been described by diverse authors as foundational to the field of managerial accounting, especially overhead estimation and differential analysis. An overview of Clark's life is provided, followed by discussion of the importance of his work to accounting. Citation counts of his work in various accounting journals reveal that although widely referenced by accounting scholars for a short time after the publication of Overhead Costs, his name then disappeared from the literature, and indicates that his work is underappreciated. The paper discusses why this lacuna in accounting history is significant, and gives possible explanations for why Clark's work has been overlooked.
Do Nonprofessional Investors Care About How and When Data Breaches are Disclosed?
Authors: Cheng Xu (Joyce) , Walton Stephanie
Published: March 2019

While prior research suggests that the market responds negatively to data breach disclosures, how nonprofessional investors assess factors surrounding these disclosures has only been assessed anecdotally. We examine whether investor judgments are influenced by whether a breached company is the first to disclose a data breach and whether a significant amount of time has lapsed between the breach and disclosure. We find evidence that investors respond to a company originating disclosure with lower investment judgments than if disclosure comes from an external source, without consistent regard to the timing of disclosure. We also find that investors make the least favorable investment judgments when the breached company initiates the data breach disclosure and when there is a significant delay between the data breach and initial public disclosure. Our study provides a greater understanding of one consequence of data breaches, that is, how timing and disclosure initiative influence nonprofessional investors' judgments.

Authors: Mahmood Aseel I. , Kadhim Shehab A. , Muhammad Nadia F.
Published: March 2019

Many critical issues appear due to the exhaust gases from transportations facilities, electric generators, industries, and so on. This lead to air pollution, which could be define as an introduction of biological materials or chemicals that’s causes harm to all living organism including humans. Also damaging the environment of earth. The principal gases that cause air pollution from these sources are nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2 and N2O) and carbon oxides (CO and CO2). There is a need to develop sensors that are characterized by highly-sensitive and miniaturize that capable of real-time analyses detection; optical fiber sensors agree with these needs. In this work, Large Mode Area- Polarization Maintaining Photonic Crystal Fiber (LMA-PM-PCF) for exhaust gases monitoring have been proposed to detect air-polluted gases over a wide transmission band covering (1µm) to (2µm) wavelength. Different guiding properties had been studied for the infiltrated PCFs. According to simulated results, the high relative sensitivity is obtained for sample infiltrated with CO gas; The higher sensitivity makes this fiber a potential candidate to detect CO that is commonly known as silent killer.

Published: March 2019

In this study, the concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2) were emitted from the Daura oil refinery units and their effect on the surrounding areas of the refinery were investigated, and also, study the atmospheric stability effective by using the Screen View model, and check the effect of the wind speed and direction on the spread of pollutants.
As indicated during this study, the physical factors of the sources of pollution, such as the height of the chimney, its diameter and the surrounding environmental conditions, contributed to the increase in the concentration of contaminants. It was generally observed that the concentration of SO2 increased by increasing the rates of airflow and ambient temperature. This work was prove the influences of weather conditions in the transmission and spread of pollutants such as wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric stability and ambient temperature, but the effect of ambient air temperature was lower than others variables.
When the distance increases between the plume and the source of pollution, a heat exchange takes place with the surrounding atmosphere, the difference between the temperature of the emitted gas and the surrounding atmosphere decreases and the buoyant force increases. This leads to a lack of vertical movement that disperses the contaminants. In addition, the concentration of the pollutants decreases with the distance increases from the source of the pollution. In the present work, emission rate of SO2, and stack gas exit velocity calculated for all stacks (point sources) of the twelve production units during August 2013, and February 2014 by using the actual amounts of fuel consumed in Daura refinery in this period.
