A NEW HYBRID FUZZY TIME SERIES FORECASTING MODEL BASED ON COMBINING FUZZY C-MEANS CLUSTERING AND PARTICLE SWAM OPTIMIZATION
Authors: Tinh Nghiem Van , Dieu Nguyen Cong 
Published: September 2019

Fuzzy time series (FTS) model is one of the effective tools that can be used to identify factors in order to solve the complex process and uncertainty. Nowadays, it has been widely used in many forecasting problems. However, establishing effective fuzzy relationships groups, finding proper length of each interval, and building defuzzification rule are three issues that exist in FTS model. Therefore, in this paper, a novel FTS forecasting model based on fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering and particle swarm optimization (PSO) was developed to enhance the forecasting accuracy. Firstly, the FCM clustering is used to divide the historical data into intervals with different lengths. After generating interval, the historical data is fuzzified into fuzzy sets. Following, fuzzy relationship groups were established based on the appearance history of the fuzzy sets on the right-hand side of the fuzzy logical relationships with the aim to serve for calculating the forecasting output. Finally, the proposed model combined with PSO algorithm was applied to adjust interval lengths and find proper intervals in the universe of discourse for obtaining the best forecasting accuracy. To verify the effectiveness of the forecasting model, three numerical datasets (enrolments data of the University of Alabama, the Taiwan futures exchange –TAIFEX data and yearly deaths in car road accidents in Belgium) are selected to illustrate the proposed model. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model is better than any existing forecasting models in term of forecasting accuracy based on the first – order and high-order FTS.

Published: September 2019

This article has established a set of empirical equations to describe the relationship between bulk resistivity and TDS of the Upper-Middle Pleistocene aquifer (qp2-3) and Lower Pleistocene aquifer (qp1) of the for field survey in 2017 in Ca Mau province. This article has determined the content of TDS based on EC (TDSEC) and established correlation regression equation between TDSLAB and TDS is based on the EC of the qp2-3 aquifer: Y = 0.549X – 0.081 with R2 = 0.975 and Standard Error (SE) = 0.1591. The qp1 aquifer: Y = 0.4669X + 0.0483 with R2 = 0.9869, Standard Error (SE) = 0.0949. Based on these regression correlation equations, we found a high correlation coefficient and small deviation between TDSLAB and TDSEC. Therefore, the determination of TDS content through the EC has reduced the cost of groundwater samples of the aquifers of laboratory analysis in Ca Mau province.

Published: September 2019

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) causes significant pain and is an adverse effect of treatment with chemotherapeutic agents. We explored a somatic yoga and meditation intervention in a predominantly minority population. Goals included describing strategies for minority inclusion and testing feasibility and effectiveness. Eight individuals with CIPN enrolled in a single-arm feasibility trial. Somatic yoga and meditation were provided weekly for 8 weeks, with an additional home program component. The primary outcomes were Sit and Reach, Functional Reach, and Timed Up and Go. Secondary outcomes were Patient Neurotoxicity Questionnaire, FACT-GOG-Ntx (for addressing patient concerns associated with neurological symptoms), Brief Pain Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Falls Efficacy Scale. Sensitivity to vibration was measured via biothesiometer. Participants with a mean age of 65 (49–73) years self-reported as 63% African-American and 37% Caucasian. They attended 81% of the sessions, and no adverse events we re re p o rted. CIPN symptoms (FAC T- G O G - N t x ) improved significantly (from 88.88 to 106.88, standard deviation = 20.03; p = 0.039). Fear of falling improved, approaching significance (from 39.26 to 34.38, standard deviation = 6.081; p = 0.058). Other measures showed improvement trends, with a slight increase in Brief Pain Inventory pain severity (from 3.50 to 3.75, p = 0.041) possibly reflecting comorbidities. Four qualitative themes emerged: (1) CIPN symptom variability, with musculoskeletal comorbidities; (2) utility of learned skills; (3) improvement in self-confidence, balance, and stability; and (4) social support, with CIPN experience validation and increasing health literacy. Challenges of recruitment and retention require specific outreach, community trust, and health literacy. Preliminary data suggest that somatic yoga and meditation may affect fear of falling and quality of life in cancer survivors with CIPN. A randomized controlled trial using inclusive recruitment and retention methods is indicated to establish the intervention’s efficacy.

Published: September 2019

Interleukin (IL)-4-producing-CD8 (cytotoxic T cells, Tc) contribute to lung eosinophilia and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) to an antigen. CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) attenuate airway inflammation and AHR. This study investigated whether Tregs decrease Tc2frequencies in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma model of mice.
Female C57BL/6 mice were sensitized with OVA intraperitoneally and challenged with OVA intranasally to induce allergic asthma model. Tregs were sorted by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) and magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) microbeads. OVA-sensitized mice were injected with Tregs or phosphate buffer saline (PBS) by tail vein ahead of the first challenge. Airway inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR)were evaluated by histological analysis and invasive method, respectively. OVA-specific IgE and cytokine levels were detected by ELISA. Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentages of Tc1 and Tc2. Gata3 and T-bet mRNA was determined by quantitative PCR (qPCR).
OVA-sensitized and challenged mice displayed typical asthma features, which included eosinophilic airway inflammation, higher levels of Th2 cytokines and AHR. Gata3 mRNA, Tc2 frequencies and OVA-specific IgE levels were significantly increased in OVA-sensitized and challenged mice. Compared to PBS treatment, Tregs decreased Tc2 frequencies, airway inflammation, Th2 cytokine levels and AHR in OVA-sensitized and challenged mice. IL-13 levels were negatively correlated with Tc1 frequencies and with IFNg levels in experimental mice.
Our results demonstrated that Tregs could prevent airway inflammation and AHR by decreasing Tc2 frequencies and cytokine levels in OVA-induced asthma model of mice, supporting Tregmight be as a potent therapeutic target for alleviating airway inflammation and AHR.

Published: September 2019

CXC Chemokine Ligand 8 (CXCL8) plays an important role in gastric inflammation and in the progression of gastric cancer induced by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The association of CXCL8, CXC Chemokine Receptor 1 (CXCR1), and CXC Chemokine Receptor 2 (CXCR2) polymorphisms with H. pylori infection and gastric cancer progression needs to be investigated in a population within an enigma area consisting of multiple ethnicities, such as Thailand.
To analyze the relative risk of H. pylori infection and gastric cancer among Thai gastroduodenal patients, gene polymorphisms in CXCL8 (promoter region -251) and in CXCR1 and CXCR2 (receptors for CXCL8) were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and allele specific-PCR (AS-PCR). We also determined the presence of cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA) in Thai patients with H. pylori infection. Correlation between the CXCL8 (-251) polymorphism and CXCL8 gene expression was evaluated by quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR (qRT-PCR).
We found a significant association between the T/A and A/A genotypes of CXCL8 (-251) with H. pylori infection. However, no significant correlation was found between the CXCR1 (+2607) and CXCR2 (+1208) gene polymorphisms with H. pylori infection among Thai gastroduodenal subjects. Within the H. pylori-infected group of Thai gastroduodenal patients, no significant differences in cagA were observed. In addition, the A/A genotype of CXCL8 (-251) significantly correlated with the risk of gastric cancer and correlated with higher CXCL8 gene expression levels in Thai gastroduodenal patients.
These results suggest that CXCL8 (-251) polymorphisms are associated with H. pylori infection, an increased risk of stronger inflammatory responses, and gastric cancer in Thai gastroduodenal patients.

Preservation of Autogenic Processes and Allogenic Forcings in Set-Scale Aeolian Architecture I: Numerical Experiments
Authors: Swanson Travis , Mohrig David , Kocurek Gary , Cardenas Benjamin T. , Wolinsky Matthew A. 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
A reduced-complexity aeolian dune stratification model is developed and applied to explore the role of dune morphodynamics in the creation of synthetic sections of aeolian stratigraphy originating from three sets of environmental forcing: 1) steady wind transport capacity, 2) steady bed aggradation and variable wind transport capacity, and 3) steady wind transport capacity and bed aggradation. In each scenario, the forward motion of initial, highly disorganized dunes generates a significant record exclusively containing autogenic signals that arise from early dune growth, deformation, and merging. However, continued dune growth scours deeply, and shreds all records of early dunes. Afterward, dunes self-organize into quasi-stable groups. Forward motion of dune groups creates, truncates, and amalgamates sets and co-sets of cross-strata, quickly forming a second, significantly more robust stratigraphic record, which preserves a comingling of signals sourced from ongoing autogenic processes and each scenario's specific set of environmental forcings, the allogenic boundary conditions of the sand sea. Although the importance of self-organization on modeled aeolian stratification is clear in the few presented scenarios, self-organization may be throttled via variability in environmental forcings, as thoroughly documented in a companion paper (Cardenas et al., this issue). Therefore, additional work is warranted because this numerical experiment only begins to sample possible sets of environmental forcing, boundary conditions, and initial conditions, geomorphic responses, and consequential preservation possible in the presented surface-stratigraphic bedform modeling framework.
Technology Focus: Reservoir Performance (September 2019)
Authors: Livescu Silviu 
Published: September 2019

Technology Focus
Since the last Reservoir Performance feature in September 2018, complex supply- and-demand challenges have continued to shape our technology and business-innovation models. Under significant pressure from several angles, operators around the world are focusing on lowering their production costs for both conventional and unconventional assets, while oilfield service companies are responding to customers’ cost-saving requests with incremental improvements in technology, supply chains, automation, and collaboration. While the current trends in machine learning and artificial intelligence certainly can help lower the production costs, future reservoir-performance improvements still will have to rely on reservoir characterization, surveillance, and optimization. The current quest for production-cost savings cannot continue without improvements in both operational efficiency and recovery factors.
In the past 12 months, 133 technical papers were presented at various conferences and meetings with a reservoir-performance focus and were reviewed for this feature, showcasing further advances in reservoir-performance monitoring, analysis, and optimization. For comparison, 157 and 160 technical papers were reviewed for the 2018 and 2017 features, respectively. Interestingly, this year, 39 papers had first authors from academia, 63 had first authors from operating companies, and 31 had first authors from oilfield service companies and consulting firms. For comparison, the review for the 2018 feature included 62 papers with first authors from academia, 70 with first authors from operating companies, and 25 with first authors from oilfield service companies and consulting firms.
The three primary papers selected and three alternative papers recommended as additional reading constitute a representative sample of the 133 papers reviewed for this feature. They are a geographically diverse mix of fundamental research, industrial research and development, and field-application studies, reporting the latest reservoir-performance advances.

Summary
With the growth of Internet of Things technology and the industrial revolution 4.0 (IR4.0), digital information is becoming more integrated into our daily operations. Such a modality of operation allows all disciplines in an organization to collaboratively manage and operate their assets to achieve the maximum value of those assets. In this paper, we describe one of the initiatives under the company's digital transformation strategy. It is a simple yet innovative application of advanced process control (APC) that facilitates continuous optimization of the performance of electrical submersible pumps (ESPs), not only to comply with the assigned production targets but also to automatically meet the operational constraints. The successful implementation of this technology on multiple oil wells in an onshore oil field has demonstrated significant power savings of 10 to 20%, and is expected to minimize premature failures and extend pump life.
