A priori error estimation of upscaled coarse grids for water‐flooding process
Authors: Khoozan Davood , Firoozabadi Bahar 
Published: May 2016

AbstractAdvanced reservoir characterization methods can yield geological models at a very fine resolution, containing 1011–1018 cells, while the common reservoir simulators can only handle much lower numbers of cells due to computer hardware limitations. The process of coarsening a fine‐scale model to a simulation model is known as upscaling. Predicting the accuracy of simulation results over an upscaled grid with respect to the fine grid is highly important, as it can yield the optimum upscaling process. In this paper, permeability‐based and velocity‐based a priori error estimation techniques are proposed by introducing image processing‐based comparison methods in the context of upscaling. The performance of the introduced error estimation techniques as well as the contribution of the employed image processing method are investigated thoroughly over highly heterogeneous cases under various coarsening levels, permeability upscaling methods, boundary conditions, and mobility ratios. The results show the superior performance of the proposed image processing‐based techniques compared to the existing methods in terms of predicting the accuracy of the water‐flooding process over the upscaled model with respect to the original fine grid results.
Sexual function in male long‐term survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Authors: Haavisto Anu , Henriksson Markus , Heikkinen Risto , Puukko‐Viertomies Leena‐Riitta , Jahnukainen Kirsi 
Published: May 2016

BACKGROUNDInfertility, poor semen quality, and gonadal dysfunction are well recognized long‐term sequelae in male survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, few studies have investigated adult sexual functioning in these survivors.METHODSThe authors studied 52 male survivors of childhood ALL at a median age of 28.5 years (range, 25‐38 years) ≥ 10 years after diagnosis. In addition, 56 men without a history of cancer were recruited for an age‐matched control group. The participants completed the Derogatis Interview for Sexual Functioning self‐report. To analyze predictive factors for sexual dysfunction, variables assessing sociodemographic background, antileukemia treatment, testicular size, laboratory variables from current serum and semen samples, self‐reported depressive symptoms, and self‐reported physical functioning were included in multiple regression analyses.RESULTSALL survivors had significantly poorer sexual functioning, as measured by the Derogatis Interview for Sexual Functioning self‐report, compared with the control group. Survivors had a similar frequency of sexual fantasies, autoerotic acts, and full erection during these activities as the control group, but they had less frequent sexual activity with a sexual partner, poorer self‐rated orgasms, and lower satisfaction with their sex life. Predictive factors for poorer sexual functioning were depressive symptoms, the absence of a relationship, and, to a lesser extent, testicular size as an indication of gonadal damage from childhood antileukemia therapy. Older survivors experienced a deeper decline in sexual functioning compared with men in the control group.CONCLUSIONSDecline in sexual functioning at an early adult age can be regarded as 1 of the late effects of childhood cancer. Monitoring these survivors' sexual health is indicated. Cancer 2016;122:2268–76. © 2016 American Cancer Society.
Monodispersed Li4Ti5O12 with Controlled Morphology as High Power Lithium Ion Battery Anodes
Authors: Li Yunchao , Fu Guoyi , Watson Mark , Harrison Stephen , Paranthaman M. Parans 
Published: May 2016

AbstractMonodispersed Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) nanoparticles with controlled microstructure were successfully synthesized by a combination of hydrolysis and hydrothermal method followed by a post‐annealing process. The scanning electron microscopy images showed that particles with a size of 30–50 nm were precisely controlled throughout the synthesis process. The electrochemical tests of the as‐prepared LTO electrodes in a half‐cell proved its high rate performance and outstanding cyclability which benefits from the preserved well‐controlled nanoparticle size and morphology. LTO electrodes were also tested in a full cell configuration in pairing with LiFePO4 cathodes, which demonstrated a capacity of 147.3 mA h g−1. In addition, we have also demonstrated that LTO materials prepared using lithium salts separated from geothermal brine solutions had good cyclability. These demonstrations provide a promising way for making low‐cost, large‐scale LTO electrode materials for energy storage applications.
