Generalizing the Inversion-Based PSHA Source Model for an Interconnected Fault System
Authors: Field Edward H. , Milner Kevin R. , Page Morgan T. 
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACTThis article represents a step toward generalizing and simplifying the procedure for constructing an inversion-based seismic hazard source model for an interconnected fault system, including the specification of adjustable segmentation constraints. A very simple example is used to maximize understandability and to counter the notion that an inversion approach is only applicable when an abundance of data is available. Also exemplified is how to construct a range of models to adequately represent epistemic uncertainties (which should be a high priority in any hazard assessment). Opportunity is also taken to address common concerns and misunderstandings associated with the third Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, including the seemingly disproportionate number of large-magnitude events, and how well hazard is resolved given the overall problem is very underdetermined. However, the main aim of this article is to provide a general protocol for constructing such models.

Authors: Moradipour Golnaz , Nazeri Ahmadreza , Jalilvand Hamid , Tabatabaee Seyed Mehdi 
Published: November 2020

Background and Aim: One of the chronic hea­lth problems of the elderly is presbycusis, and one of the most important age-related changes in central auditory processing is dichotic listening deficit. The purpose of this study was to investi­gate the effects of using hearing aids on dichotic listening performance of the elderly with hearing loss by dichotic tests.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, randomi­zed dichotic digit test (RDDT) and dichotic auditory verbal memory test (DAVMT) were performed on 20 seniors with hearing loss (8 male, 12 female) aged 65−80 years. They were divided into two groups of test (with hearing aid, n = 10) and control (without hearing aid, n = 10). They were tested before and two months after the use of hearing aid and the results were analyzed using t-test for two independent variables.
Results: There was a significant difference in the total DAVMT score in control group before and after the intervention (p < 0.001) and not in test group, but in terms of right and left ear DAVMT and RDDT scores, showed no significant diffe­rence in any groups. Moreover, there was no sig­nificant difference in the mean DAVMT score of the right ear and the mean RDDT score between groups, but in terms of the total DAVMT score, a significant difference between two groups was reported (p = 0.003).
Conclusion: It can be said that the DAVMT has the ability to show adverse effects of hearing loss on recognition function and memory of the elde­rly.

Authors: Nouri Mohammad , Maghsoudloukamali Bijan , Jafari Nodoushan Reza 
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Today, commercial complexes are among the most important shopping centers in cities that account for one of the most important urban development infrastructures. Evaluation and management of fire is essential to prevent accidents and disasters such as fires. Due to the increased population density and slow access to safe and secure outdoor space during the disaster, human casualties and financial losses have increased. The aim of this study was to make strategic decisions in fire risk management in Aftab Gorgan commercial complex using artificial intelligence model.
Method: : In this study, all technical documentation, including technical-physical and urban properties as well as notification and extinguishing system of the commercial complex under study were investigated. Later, the important and influential components of the design were identified, paired, weighted, and compared using Delphi questionnaires. In the next stage, the SWOT matrix was applied and quadratic strategies were designed and modeled after designing a hierarchical tree to model and prioritize the strategies.
Results: According to the outputs of the performed modeling using Matlab and Neuro-Solution 5 software, we found that in weighting and ranking of the eight designed strategies, only one strategy was ranked (and has equal priority) in both models and other scenarios were different. Therefore, integrating strategies for fire risk management was considered essential.
Conclusion: The findings showed that the strategy of adopting the systematic and strategic-operational management approach of fire risk in Gorgan Aftab 3 Complex design were the most ideal possible strategies. This was due to the special attention paid to optimization of physical spaces and fire alarm systems as well as implementation of business classification and continuous excellence system of HSE-MS and crisis management.

Background and PurposeA violence prevention climate is critical for nurses’ well-being but also for nursing practice and the quality of care. This study examined the reliability and factor validity of the European Portuguese version of the 12-item Violence Prevention Climate Scale (VPCS).MethodsData came from a sample of 120 nurses providing care in Portugal. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the structural theory of the scale.ResultsFirst and second-order confirmatory factor analysis models showed identical goodness-of-fit suggesting the adequacy of the models to the sample data. Our results also provide evidence of composite reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity.ConclusionsConsistent with previous studies, data from this study showed that the Portuguese version of the 12-item VPCS is a reliable and valid scale to evaluate nurses’ perceptions of a violence prevention climate.
Croissance radiale du pin d’Alep (Pinus halepensis Mill.) en fonction des paramètres stationnels dans les massifs forestiers naturels de l’Atlas saharien algérien
Authors: GUIT Brahim , NEDJIMI Bouzid 
Published: November 2020

La présente étude dendroécologique a été conduite dans les pinèdes de Senalba Gharbi, Senalba Chergui et Sehary Guebli situées en zone semi-aride de la région de Djelfa (Atlas saharien algérien) et caractérisées par une pluviométrie variant entre 300 et 400 mm/an. Ce sont les derniers massifs arborescents, peuplés de pin d’Alep, Pinus halepensis, situés à la limite du Sahara. Le maintien de ces peuplements soumis à une dégradation continuelle depuis plusieurs décennies constitue un enjeu écologique majeur. À partir de transects intégrant les variations d’altitude, d’exposition et de position topographique, 18 placettes d’échantillonnage ont été sélectionnées. Dans chaque placette, six arbres parmi les plus dominants ont été sondés à la tarière de Pressler, à raison de deux carottes de sondage par arbre, soit un total de 216 carottes-échantillons analysées sur une période de 53 ans. L’analyse des cernes a mis en évidence que l’exposition, l’altitude et la position topographique sont déterminantes pour l’accroissement des pins. L’étude des séries dendrochronologiques relatives à la largeur des cernes a montré une tendance générale décroissante de 10,5 %. La prise en compte de ces données relatives à la croissance radiale contribuera à identifier les arbres à forte probabilité de déclin suite aux changements climatiques.
Biodiversité et services écosystémiques en forêts tropicales : le rôle des affectations des terres forestières dans la région du Dja, Cameroun
Authors: LHOEST Simon 
Published: November 2020

Des dizaines de millions de personnes dépendent des forêts tropicales pour leur subsistance en Afrique centrale. Ces écosystèmes abritent une biodiversité unique et fournissent d'importants services écosystémiques (SE), qui peuvent varier en fonction des stratégies de gestion. Dans cette thèse de doctorat, nous avons évalué la biodiversité et les services écosystémiques dans le paysage du Dja au Cameroun, dans trois affectations des terres forestières : une aire protégée, une concession forestière certifiée FSC et trois forêts communautaires. Tout d'abord, nous avons évalué la valeur de conservation des forêts sur la base de la richesse et de la composition en espèces de deux groupes taxonomiques : les mammifères et les bousiers. Les espèces les plus grandes et les plus menacées ont été détectées dans l’aire protégée et les zones les plus éloignées de la concession forestière, mieux préservées de l'influence humaine. En revanche, les forêts communautaires sont particulièrement défaunées et dégradées en raison de leur proximité avec les routes et les villages, mais elles couvrent des superficies beaucoup plus limitées et conservent une canopée fermée. Deuxièmement, des entretiens identifiant les perceptions de l'offre en SE ont montré que, contrairement aux services de régulation qui ont été rarement mentionnés, les services d’approvisionnement et culturels sont les plus importants pour les populations locales. Parmi ceux-ci, la viande de brousse est le seul service pour lequel l’offre de la forêt n’est pas suffisante pour les populations locales. Troisièmement, en combinant des entretiens et enquêtes de terrain, nous avons quantifié l'utilisation de huit SE d'approvisionnement et culturels par les populations locales. Nous avons constaté que le bois de feu et le bois d'œuvre sont utilisés de manière durable par les populations locales, tandis que la chasse et la consommation de viande de brousse dépassent les seuils de durabilité. Concilier la conservation de la faune sauvage, la sécurité alimentaire et les pratiques de chasse durable est un défi majeur en Afrique centrale. Pour ce faire, il est essentiel d’intégrer toutes les parties prenantes dans les stratégies de gestion forestière durable, permettant d’identifier les leviers sociaux qui sous-tendent les changements de comportement des utilisateurs des forêts.

Abstract
Lack of long-term production data is one of the major challenges when performing analysis for tight gas reservoirs during appraisal phase. For low-permeability liquid-rich gas and gas condensate reservoirs, fracture performance will be severely affected by condensate banking as soon as dew point pressure is reached in the vicinity of the wellbore. This makes the evaluation of fracture effectiveness and potential connected volume more challenging. Although numerical simulation can account for complex PVT, reservoir and fracture characteristics and by far the most rigorous method for forecasting, it cannot be applied to all wells due to lack of analysis time and supporting data. Therefore, a more robust methodology is required to analyze production data for a limited test period during the development phase. This paper entails an efficient and robust methodology that was applied to over 80 wells in less than a few weeks for performance evaluation, history matching and forecasting. The field in this study is a layered tight gas reservoir in the Middle East, which is currently undergoing development after an extensive appraisal plan. Most of the wells are single staged vertically fracced with their performance being significantly in comparison due to the hydraulic fracturing performance, rock quality, gas richness and operating conditions. With over 100 wells planned to be drilled in this field, it is vital to analyze the existing well performances and establish a workflow emphasizing on the near wellbore region for a robust forecasting methodology for this tight liquid-rich reservoir.
Systematic Calcium Carbonate Scale Risk Evaluation from Downhole to Topside Flowline

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The formation of CaCO3 mineral scale is a persistent flow assurance problem in the oil and gas industry. It deposits at various locations with different levels from reservoir to topside flowline. It could restrict well intervention, block flowline and reduce production. To make an effective mitigation strategy, it is essential to understand the location and severity of scaling, and the performance of scale inhibitor under specific operation conditions.
In the work reported herein, the dynamic scale loop tests were performed to evaluate the severity of scale deposition at different locations from the reservoir to transport flowline in the absence and in the presence of scale inhibitors under dynamic conditions. The tests are carried out at various temperatures (20-130°C) and pH (6.0-8.3), which are major factors contributing to calcium carbonate formation and representative of the operating conditions at different locations from reservoir to topside flowline.
The results showed low calcium carbonate risk from reservoir to wellhead under tested conditions. Although the high reservoir temperature favors calcium carbonate formation in downhole, the low pH reduces the risk of calcium carbonate formation at downhole conditions. Harsher calcium carbonate deposition is evaluated at the conditions of phase separator/degasser units due to the higher pH of produced water after released CO2 from fluid. Calcium carbonate scale can also deposit in transport flowline, especially at high temperature during summer in the desert area, along with higher pH of the produced water. Calcium carbonate scale prevention and mitigation treatments are required to inhibit scale deposition. The tested phosphonate scale inhibitor provides low dose rate to effectively inhibit calcium carbonate formation at high temperature. The corrosion inhibitor could have a negative impact on the performance of scale inhibitor, and this must be considered when designing the scale inhibitor treatment.
This paper gives a comprehensive study of scaling risk evaluation from downhole to topside flowline in the absence and in the presence of scale inhibitor. It contributes to the understanding of calcium carbonate formation and inhibition in the whole production system and recommends effective scale mitigation strategies.
