Evaluation of Wellbore Stability by Small Parameter Perturbation Nonlinear Elastoplastic Model
Authors: Lu Zongyu , Zhu Zhongxi , Ye Yuchen 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Wellbore instability is a frequent occurrence during drilling and a popular research topic among petroleum workers. Most of the previous studies simplified the hardening stage and ignored or classified it into the elastic stage. Engineering practice shows that the total stress–strain process of rock can more truly reflect the bearing and deformation characteristics of rock. This study establishes a total stress–strain constitutive model by combining the perturbation index equation with the linear elastic equation. Additionally, the physical model of rock around the well is presented using the total deformation theory for the plastic zone. The stress field of the rock surrounding the well is analyzed based on the physical model of the rock surrounding the well, taking into account the influence of rock strength and geostress state. The relationship between rock strength, geostress state, drilling fluid density, and plastic radius is given. The calculation method of drilling fluid density limit is also given. The practical application demonstrates that the stability of a borehole wall can be evaluated by analyzing the size and direction of the plastic radius, as well as the distribution of radial, tangential, and shear stress for various combinations of stress states and rock strengths. The maximum shear stress is always found in the softening zone, which is also the region where wellbore instability is most likely to happen. Therefore, the area within the softening radius is regarded as an unstable area, and the softening radius can be used to determine the range of wellbore instability.

Authors: Zhao Zhiqiang , Geng Tie , Li Huaike , Zhang Wei , Hu Jinjun , Luo Jiansheng 
Published: November 2024

Summary
Thermally activated gel (TAG) for control of lost circulations was evaluated, which is based on acrylamide (AM) and N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) copolymers crosslinked by polyethyleneimine (PEI). Viscoelasticity, pumpable time, breakthrough pressures, thermal tolerance, and fluid compatibility were tested in this paper, and then field applications in Missan Oilfield, Iraq, were introduced. Laboratory results showed that the strain limit in the linear viscoelastic region was 169% and storage modulus was 870 Pa. Pumpable time of TAG varies with pH values, so pumpable time can be controlled above 60 minutes by adjusting pH values in the temperature ranges of 100°C to 140°C. Breakthrough pressures were tested in 5-mm (inner diameter) and 10-mm (inner diameter) simulating pipes.The breakthrough pressure gradients were 1.172 psi/cm and 1.200 psi/cm at 0.5 mL/min and 1.0 mL/min, respectively, for 10-mm simulating pipes, 1.872 psi/cm and 2.200 psi/cm for 5-mm simulating pipes. TAG maintained morphologies completely and dehydrated slightly after 30 days of aging at 140°C, transformed into a degraded and low-viscosity fluid after 45 days of aging. Tests proved that invasions of inorganic electrolytes, drilling fluid additives, and drilling fluids can lengthen the pumpable time of TAG, so flash settings due to invasions could not occur. Applications in Missan Oilfield verified the performances of TAG mentioned above.

Abstract

The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is known to have an exceptional ability to accumulate zinc, which endows it with robust resistance to pathogens and makes it an excellent source of dietary zinc. ZIP1 has been identified as an important zinc uptake protein in other species, but its role in oysters remains unclear. In the present study, a ZIP1 homologue (CgZIP1-II) of the Zrt/Irt-like protein (ZIP) family was identified in C. gigas. The mRNA transcripts of CgZIP1-II were constitutively expressed in examined tissues of C. gigas, with higher levels in the hepatopancreas and gill. After zinc exposure, the mRNA transcripts of CgZIP1-II in the hepatopancreas showed a significant decline from 12 h to 14 d, while those in the gill significantly decreased at 72 h, then followed by a recovery to basal levels at 7 d to 14 d. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that the CgZIP1-II protein was mainly located at the plasma membrane of oyster haemocytes. Compared to the control cells, overexpression of CgZIP1-II in the transfected HEK293 cells resulted in a 2.44-fold (p < 0.05) increase in zinc content after incubation with 100 µM zinc for 24 h. Inhibition of endogenous CgZIP1-II expression with siRNAs led to a 42% reduction in zinc content in the hepatopancreas of oysters. Similarly, in vivo blocking of CgZIP1-II with anti-CgZIP1-II antibody caused a 43% decrease in zinc content in the hepatopancreas. These results collectively indicated that CgZIP1-II functioned as a zinc uptake transporter in C. gigas and played an important role in zinc accumulation.
“Equipping and Enabling” health literacy during a “Time of Change”: understanding health literacy and organisational health literacy responsiveness for people leaving prison in later life

Abstract

Background
This qualitative study investigated experiences and understandings of health literacy for those released from prison in later life. The global rise in older incarcerated individuals—defined as those aged 50 and above—poses significant public health and health equity challenges. With up to one in four prisoners being categorized as "older," their complex health needs often exceed those of younger inmates and the general community. An important but under-investigated challenge for this older population is navigating health care systems and self-management after release. Research evidence, albeit limited, has consistently identified health literacy deficits in this this population, complicating their health outcomes and reintegration more generally. This study fills a gap in the experience of health literacy for older people leaving prison, thus contributing to conceptual understandings and guiding targeted intervention development for this marginalised population.
Results
Fifteen people with lived experience of release from prison in older age (mean age = ) and thirteen staff or stakeholders with relevant professional experience from Australia participated in workshops and interviews exploring health literacy during the post-release period. An abductive thematic analysis was applied to the data, guided by the concept of health literacy and organisational health literacy responsiveness. The analysis produced two global themes (“Change” and “Equipped and Enabled”) and seven subthemes (“A demanding time of change”, “Braving a new world”, “Leaving prison care”, “I can only do what I can”, “Help me help myself”, “Others are key”, “Everybody’s problem, nobody’s job”). Together, these themes indicated these individuals are the subject of complex and overlapping life circumstances, with limited resources and support currently available for health literacy both during and after release.
Conclusion
This population are mostly passive health care and information ‘receivers’ as a result of their imprisonment, who must be equipped and enabled to become more active health literacy ‘doers’. This can be achieved through interventions that prepare the person better for life in community, and improve positive self-concept. Health and custodial organisations have an important role to play, with opportunities for improvement apparent across areas such as communication, focused health literacy policies, and collaboration with community partners.

Abstract

The Sahara and the Sahel are currently experiencing an increase in rainfall during the rainy season, possibly related to the strengthening of the hydrological cycle induced by global warming. However, the slowdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) might be able to counteract this trend, decreasing the North African monsoon rainfall in a timely, but highly uncertain, manner. During the early and mid-Holocene, the Sahara and the Sahel experienced a wet phase that offers a good analogue for testing the impact of an AMOC perturbation on the climate of this area. Here, we document this wet phase based on the sediment record of Lake Yoa from the central Sahara spanning the last 10,800 years at annual to decadal resolution. This record shows abrupt droughts at 8.2 kyr BP and at 6.3 kyr BP, which interrupted the humid period for a few decades. By modelling precipitation changes in the Lake Yoa area over the Holocene, we support the idea that these droughts were triggered by a slowdown of the AMOC. These results suggest that ongoing AMOC changes could severely weaken the African monsoon on decadal time scales. This process will reduce or even counteract the observed precipitation increase in these areas, highlighting the crucial need for reducing uncertainty in the rapidity of future AMOC weakening.

Authors: Yang Yuli , Liang Xiaoyan , Liu Qian , Liu Jing 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Purpose:Family members predominantly serve as the primary caregivers for cancer patients. However, the experiences of caregivers in regions lacking palliative care support have not been thoroughly investigated, particularly when elderly cancer patients enter the terminal phase. This study aims to explore the experiences of caregivers for elderly cancer patients in the terminal stage, focusing on areas with limited palliative care resources.
Methods:A qualitative study was conducted from March to October 2023. Face-to-face, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were employed to collect data from 13 Chinese family caregivers of elderly terminal cancer patients. Participants were recruited using purposive sampling. The interview data were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method. The study's rigor was ensured through the application of Lincoln and Guba's criteria.
Results:[Three main themes and 11 sub-themes were identified through data analysis: (1)Physical difficulty,(2)Psychological distress, and(3) Desiring support .]
Conclusion: The development and provision of respite services, enhancement of death education, improvement of physicians' communication skills regarding end-of-life information, and establishment of supportive home care plans are deemed necessary. It is recommended that local governments refine the palliative care system, ensuring seamless integration of palliative care from top-tier hospitals to communities and homes. These measures aim to meet caregivers' expectations while assisting them in overcoming their challenges.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
Uterine infections negatively impact cow health and productivity, increasing herd health costs, infertility, and culling. They also interfere with immune efficiency, sperm transport, embryonic development, and implantation, thus leading to pregnancy failure and infertility. Most previous studies have focused on transcriptomic changes induced by uterine infection in dairy cows. The present study aimed to investigate the changes in the endometrial transcript caused by uterine infections in beef cows.
Methods
To achieve this, we examined the reproductive tract of over 200 Angus cows at a local slaughterhouse and collected intercaruncular endometrial tissues from a subset of infected cows (n = 5) and normal cyclic cows (n = 5). After isolating total RNAs, the samples were subjected to high-throughput RNA sequencing (n = 5/group), and differentially expressed genes were validated with qPCR.
Results
RNA seq revealed 954 differentially expressed genes (538 upregulated and 416 downregulated) in the bovine endometrium compared to infectious and normal uterine samples. The Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) showed 822 genes enriched in the bovine endometrium, with 530 upregulated and 292 downregulated in response to uterine infection. The activated immune system components include TLR receptors, NLR receptors, RLR receptors, cytokines, and chemokines. This enrichment of genes and molecules affects various biological processes and pathways, such as inflammatory and immune responses, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and chemokine signaling.
Conclusions
In summary, uterine infection alters the transcriptomic profile of the endometrium in infectious beef cows, potentially leading to pregnancy failure and infertility.
Occurrence of NORM in FPSO oil production units: impacts and decision- making factors for recycling destination after decommissioning

Published: November 2024

Abstract

The Brazilian oil and gas industry is undergoing significant changes, with new units emerging and older platforms being decommissioned. The Brazilian National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) anticipates substantial investments in decommissioning by 2026. This study examines the decommissioning of Floating Production Storage and Offloading units (FPSOs) in Brazil, focusing on economic, environmental, technical, and safety considerations. It references guidelines from the Basel Convention, the Hong Kong Convention (HKC), and European Ship Recycling Regulation (SRR 1257/2013), which emphasize the importance of adhering to international standards for safe ship recycling. The research assesses the impact of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) on the disposal of FPSOs in Brazil, identifying and evaluating the capabilities of national facilities to recycle these units. The study finds a limited number (03) of facilities equipped to handle NORM contaminated FPSOs, meeting only domestic demand to recycling abroad. This scarcity exposes shipowners to significant financial risks, unforeseen costs, and uncertainties in waste disposal. The findings underscore the urgent need for enhancements in infrastructure and processing techniques within Brazilian shipyards to manage NORM responsibly.
