Bespoke Fast-Track Training Program Proves Successful for Major Drilling Contractor in Singapore
Authors: Gibson Michael 
Published: August 2016

ABSTRACT
This paper portrays the advantages of utilising an 18-month "Fast-track" or Accelerated Assistant Drilling's Program for young people new to the Industry employed by a major drilling company in South East Asia.
The challenge was to educate young people of different backgrounds, nationalities (Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian and Bruneian) whose practical and theoretical skill capabilities and language abilities in Tender Assist Drilling who have never come across such equipment before so that they clearly understood the design and functionality of their equipment on-board their specific rig.
Given that Drilling is not an easy subject for people to understand (especially those who are new to the Industry) the task of writing material especially suited for such people is not as easy as it may seem, since the bulk of material available on the subject is at too high and too complex a level. Also, there are very few books written specifically on the subject of Tender Assist Drilling as there are several units, which have to be addressed: – 1) The Tender and Anchor Winches; 2) The Umbilicals and Lines and 3) The Drilling Equipment Set mounted on the platform.
An 18-month E-Learning, Offshore and Classroom Training Program was considered the ideal solution for this training since, through being bespoke, it could be clearly and unambiguously written. It could also dove-tail perfectly with the new IADC "Wellsharp" and IWCF well control training programs and the OGP Report No.476, which recommends certain enhancements to well control training.
That every trainee scored high marks in the various sections both onshore and offshore is testimony to the fact that such a program is indeed the perfect training aide for young people coming into the industry for the first time. As a result, it is seen as an ideal cost-effective method for future training courses.

Abstract
This paper describes the application of a combined answer from Electromagnetic and Ultrasonic imaging measurements to assess the well integrity prior to well side track and Whip-Stock setting. This solution was applied in a very old well in Raudhatain field in Kuwait that was completed since 1959.
To optimize the cut depth for the side track across the single string, it was essential to identify an accurate depth of the external casing shoe, in addition to evaluation of both internal and external casings integrity and the cement bond quality for zonal isolation assurance. Data was acquired in September 2015 where the Electromagnetic log along with Ultrasonic images have been utilized with the advantage to provide answer in sections completed with dual strings for well integrity assessment.
The log results could detect the external casing shoe at the depth 7170-ft, presented good pipe integrity for the internal casing, and indicated good pipe condition with minor metal loss in the external casing across the double strings interval. The measured outer casing shoe was found 21-ft deeper than the theoretical from the old well sketch data, hence the depth of the well side track and Whip-Stock setting were optimized accordingly.
Failing to confirm the actual depth of the external casing shoe could have unintentionally led into drilling the side track across the double casing section resulting in undesirable workover operations and rig cost. Drilling a side track in dual pipe completed interval would also result-in damaging the outer casing and high remedial cost that cannot be predicted.
The operator "Kuwait Oil Company" has achieved their objective to side-track the well across single casing string without taking any risk and avoiding any implications through wireline technology and solutions.

Abstract
Since 2010, Samarang Alliance, a partnership between Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd and Schlumberger SPM, has been redeveloping the offshore Samarang oil field. The objective of the Alliance is to maximize asset value through implementation of technology, processes and practices that enable infill drilling, reservoir management, EOR, Integrated Operations (IO) and production enhancement activities.
One of the focus areas upon resource extraction initiatives of Samarang Alliance is through rigless intervention activities for production enhancement. The dynamics of Production Enhancement (PE) portfolio in Samarang requires the use of engineering and statistical tools to track their efficiency to be able to channel and strategize resources aiming for the highest return on investment (ROI).
The Samarang Well Intervention Performance Evaluation (WIPE) methodology enables the user to assess the profitability of a given well intervention activity over time. Productive layers, time and job type are plotted which helps to triangulate the best avenues for investment. Incremental production is specifically calculated for different time-lines. "Budget Cycle" (Calendar year) to evaluate the efficacy of the current year planned work budget. "PE Cycle" when referring to the duration encompassing one year (12 months) to compare similar PEs irrespective of the month of execution. "PE Life" for the entire duration that the well production will be impacted by the PE. Additionally the calculation of Unit Enhancement Cost (UEC) for the different time-lines is considered, which provides a numerical estimate of the economic value of each PE.
Superimposed with intervention history and reserve estimation, WIPE plots enables the user to find a specific profitable intervention solution to declining production. The "Opportunity Cost" can be calculated to a degree of high accuracy which supports the selection of new candidates and fulfills the requirements of a Signature Field like Samarang. Supported on available medium like Microsoft Excel, this powerful tool improves the decision making and planning processes for Brown Field redevelopment.
Socioeconomic and religious differentials in marital fertility during the fertility transition: A micro-level study from Western Hungary, 1850–1939
Authors: Pakot Levente , Őri Péter 
Published: August 2016

The analysis of fertility decline and its socioeconomic and cultural determinants during the demographic transition is a topic that is rarely researched in Hungary. So far, the question has been examined only at country and regional levels, with the help of aggregate data. Much like the international research on historical demography, little attention has been paid to non-aggregate data and to the micro level. Previous family reconstitution studies, which can be regarded as the most feasible and prevalent method for micro-level analysis in Hungary, focused only on the analysis of pre-transitional fertility. We know, however, that on the one hand, in many communities irreversible fertility decline did not start before World War I, and on the other hand, the analysis of the transitional period offers more opportunities to better understand the background of changing fertility behaviour.The aim of the present paper is to investigate the socioeconomic and denominational differentials in marital fertility in a rapidly industrializing Western Transdanubian community, which was heterogeneous in these respects. The analysis covers the pre-transitional period and the fertility transition, mainly from the second part of the 19th century up to World War II. This period of the Hungarian demographic transition has never been examined at micro level. According to the results, the upper groups of the local society had higher fertility compared to others prior to the transition, but the socioeconomic patterns of childbearing changed during the 1870s–1880s. First, local elite groups began to decrease their family size. They were followed later by local craftsmen and skilled workers, then by smallholders, and finally by semi-skilled and unskilled workers. The fertility of Lutherans was slightly lower than that of Roman Catholics, but this can be explained by the different demographic and socioeconomic composition of these denominational groups. Fertility transition on the spot meant not only parity-specific birth control, but also increasing birth intervals, which was particularly significant in the period of the Great Depression (1929–1933).

Published: August 2016

Background:
The present study was aimed at designing some potential candidates as HER2 inhibitors used in breast cancer.

Methods:
An energy optimized pharmacophore (E-pharmacophore) model was developed and used to screen the molecular databases (such as ASINEX and NCI databases) against a six site (ADHRRR) hypothesis. The shape similarity of the retrieved hits was calculated and then filtered applying ADME and Lipinski’s filters. Further, these hits were docked into the crystal structure of HER2 protein (3W32) using Glide XP protocol to obtain the docking poses and XP gscores. The performance of the virtual screening (VS) methods was evaluated using Schrödinger’s decoy set of 1000 molecules. Ranking of the actives in the VS protocol was assessed by a variety of well-established methods including the average rank of actives, EF, ROC, BEDROC, AUAC, and the RIE. The retrieved hits were submitted to Canvas for generating binary fingerprints (dendritic) to identify structural diversity among the hits and clustered on the basis of Tanimoto coefficient using hierarchical clustering.

Results:
Seven structurally diverse clusters were selected applying above protocol, having XP gscores >-10, and fitness scores > 1, considering top scoring cluster representative from each cluster. The best scoring hit 355682-ASINEX was submitted to Combiglide to discover some better candidates with improved scores. Finally, structural interaction fingerprint (SIFT) analysis was employed to study the binding interaction, which showed H-bond interaction with Met793, Gln791 and Thr854 residues of HER2 protein.

Conclusion:
The applied methodology and the retrieved hits could be useful in the design of potent inhibitors of HER2 proteins, commonly found to be expressed in the breast cancer patients.
NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS CHALLENGED ON THE PREDICTION OF MASSIVE SUBHALO ABUNDANCE IN GALAXY CLUSTERS: THE CASE OF ABELL 2142

Published: August 2016

ABSTRACT
In this Letter we compare the abundance of the member galaxies of a rich, nearby (z = 0.09) galaxy cluster, Abell 2142, with that of halos of comparable virial mass extracted from sets of state-of-the-art numerical simulations, both collisionless at different resolutions and with the inclusion of baryonic physics in the form of cooling, star formation, and feedback by active galactic nuclei. We also use two semi-analytical models to account for the presence of orphan galaxies. The photometric and spectroscopic information, taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12 database, allows us to estimate the stellar velocity dispersion of member galaxies of Abell 2142. This quantity is used as proxy for the total mass of secure cluster members and is properly compared with that of subhalos in simulations. We find that simulated halos have a statistically significant (

≳
7

sigma confidence level) smaller amount of massive (circular velocity above

) subhalos, even before accounting for the possible incompleteness of observations. These results corroborate the findings from a recent strong lensing study of the Hubble Frontier Fields galaxy cluster MACS J0416 and suggest that the observed difference is already present at the level of dark matter (DM) subhalos and is not solved by introducing baryonic physics. A deeper understanding of this discrepancy between observations and simulations will provide valuable insights into the impact of the physical properties of DM particles and the effect of baryons on the formation and evolution of cosmological structures.
CONTROLLING INFLUENCE OF MAGNETIC FIELD ON SOLAR WIND OUTFLOW: AN INVESTIGATION USING CURRENT SHEET SOURCE SURFACE MODEL
Authors: Poduval B. 
Published: August 2016

ABSTRACT
This Letter presents the results of an investigation into the controlling influence of large-scale magnetic field of the Sun in determining the solar wind outflow using two magnetostatic coronal models: current sheet source surface (CSSS) and potential field source surface. For this, we made use of the Wang and Sheeley inverse correlation between magnetic flux expansion rate (FTE) and observed solar wind speed (SWS) at 1 au. During the period of study, extended over solar cycle 23 and beginning of solar cycle 24, we found that the coefficients of the fitted quadratic equation representing the FTE–SWS inverse relation exhibited significant temporal variation, implying the changing pattern of the influence of FTE on SWS over time. A particularly noteworthy feature is an anomaly in the behavior of the fitted coefficients during the extended minimum, 2008–2010 (CRs 2073–2092), which is considered due to the particularly complex nature of the solar magnetic field during this period. However, this variation was significant only for the CSSS model, though not a systematic dependence on the phase of the solar cycle. Further, we noticed that the CSSS model demonstrated better solar wind prediction during the period of study, which we attribute to the treatment of volume and sheet currents throughout the corona and the more accurate tracing of footpoint locations resulting from the geometry of the model.
Records of Wenchengia (Lamiaceae) from Vietnam
Authors: Paton Alan , Phillipson Peter , Suddee Somran 
Published: August 2016

The monotypic genus Wenchengia (Lamiaceae) has been thought to be endemic to Hainan, China. This paper reports on historic records of Wenchengia alternifolia collected from Vietnam. The recent recuration and modernisation of the Paris herbarium greatly facilitated this discovery.
During preparatory work supporting the account for the Lamiaceae of the Flora of Thailand, three specimens of Wenchengia from central Vietnam were found in the Herbarium of the Musuem National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris (P), and subsequently two duplicates were found in the Herbarium at Kew (K, abbreviations following Thiers 2016). The specimens were collected in and before 1927 and it is not known if the species is still extant in Vietnam. Searches for extant populations should focus in the Ba Na Hills or Bach Ma National Park, central Vietnam.

Published: August 2016

ABSTRACT

Background
Attending rounds is a key component of patient care and education at teaching hospitals, yet there is an absence of studies addressing trainees' perceptions of rounds.

Objective
To determine perceptions of pediatrics and internal medicine residents about the current and ideal purposes of inpatient rounds on hospitalist services.

Methods
In this multi-institutional qualitative study, the authors conducted focus groups with a purposive sample of internal medicine and pediatrics residents at 4 teaching hospitals. The constant comparative method was used to identify themes and codes.

Results
The study identified 4 themes: patient care, clinical education, patient/family involvement, and evaluation. Patient care included references to activities on rounds that forwarded care of the patient. Clinical education pertained to teaching/learning on rounds. Patient/family involvement encompassed comments about incorporating patients and families on rounds. Evaluation described residents demonstrating skill for attendings.

Conclusions
Resident perceptions of the purposes of rounds aligned with rounding activities described by prior observational studies of rounds. The influence of time pressures and the divergent needs of participants on today's rounds placed these identified purposes in tension, and led to resident dissatisfaction in the achievement of all of them. Suboptimal congruency exists between perceived resident clinical education and specialty-specific milestones. These findings suggest a need for education of multiple stakeholders by (1) enhancing faculty teaching strategies to maximize clinical education while minimizing inefficiencies; (2) informing residents about the value of patient interactions and family-centered rounds; and (3) educating program directors in proper alignment of inpatient rotational objectives to the milestones.
The Role of Generic Competencies in the Entrustment of Professional Activities: A Nationwide Competency-Based Curriculum Assessed
Authors: van Loon Karsten A. , Teunissen Pim W. , Driessen Erik W. , Scheele Fedde 
Published: August 2016

ABSTRACT

Background
Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) seek to translate essential physician competencies into clinical practice. Until now, it is not known whether EPA-based curricula offer enhanced assessment and feedback to trainees.

Objective
This study examined program directors' and senior residents' justifications for entrustment decisions and what role generic, cross-specialty competencies (such as communication skills, collaboration, and understanding health care systems) play in these decisions.

Methods
Entrustment decisions for all Dutch obstetrics and gynecology residents between January 2010 and April 2014 were retrieved from their electronic portfolios. Justifications for entrustment were divided into 4 categories: the resident's experience, his or her technical performance, the presence of a generic competency, and training. Template analysis was used to analyze in depth the types of justifications, which play a role in entrustment decisions.

Results
A total of 5139 entrustment decisions for 375 unique residents were extracted and analyzed. In 59% of all entrustment decisions, entrusting a professional task to a resident was justified by the experience of the resident. Generic competencies were mentioned in 0.5% of all entrustment decisions. Template analysis revealed that the amount of exposure and technical skills are leading factors, while the quality of the performance was not reported to be of any influence.

Conclusions
Entrustment decisions only rarely are based on generic competencies, despite the introduction of competency frameworks and EPAs. For program directors, a leading factor in entrustment decisions is a resident's exposure to an activity, and the quality of a resident's performance appears to play only a minor role.

ABSTRACT

Background
Integrating teaching and hands-on experience in quality improvement (QI) may increase the learning and the impact of resident QI work.

Objective
We sought to determine the clinical and educational impact of an integrated QI curriculum.

Methods
This clustered, randomized trial with early and late intervention groups used mixed methods evaluation. For almost 2 years, internal medicine residents from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center on the inpatient teams at the White River Junction VA participated in the QI curriculum. QI project effectiveness was assessed using statistical process control. Learning outcomes were assessed with the Quality Improvement Knowledge Application Tool–Revised (QIKAT-R) and through self-efficacy, interprofessional care attitudes, and satisfaction of learners. Free text responses by residents and a focus group of nurses who worked with the residents provided information about the acceptability of the intervention.

Results
The QI projects improved many clinical processes and outcomes, but not all led to improvements. Educational outcome response rates were 65% (68 of 105) at baseline, 50% (18 of 36) for the early intervention group at midpoint, 67% (24 of 36) for the control group at midpoint, and 53% (42 of 80) for the late intervention group. Composite QIKAT-R scores (range, 0–27) increased from 13.3 at baseline to 15.3 at end point (P &lt; .01), as did the self-efficacy composite score (P &lt; .05). Satisfaction with the curriculum was rated highly by all participants.

Conclusions
Learning and participating in hands-on QI can be integrated into the usual inpatient work of resident physicians.

Published: August 2016

ABSTRACT

Background
In a time of threats to the funding for graduate medical education (GME) and projected physician shortages, drawing attention to the value of physician training programs may be useful. One approach is to study the number and percentage of physicians who enter practice in the state in which they trained.

Objective
We sought to examine the percentage of graduates from a single Michigan-based GME institution over a 15-year period, who practiced medicine in Michigan during their career.

Methods
We performed a retrospective review of historical data for all graduates currently in practice, derived from 18 GME training programs from 2000 through 2014. Practice location data were collected and confirmed using multiple sources for accuracy.

Results
Data were available for 1168 graduates. The average age at the time of graduation was 32.6 ± 4.4 years (mean and standard deviation [SD]), and 60.2% were men (703 of 1168). There were 546 graduates (46.7%) who practiced in Michigan after graduation. Almost 80% of the graduates (279 of 358) who completed medical school and GME in Michigan also practiced in Michigan. Of those, 87.8% (245 of 279) also completed a bachelor's degree in Michigan.

Conclusions
The findings show that graduates from our GME programs were highly likely to practice in Michigan if they completed their pre-GME education in Michigan.
