Case Study: Advanced Technology Underpins Efficiency and Climate-Related Goal Gains
Authors: Khalid Hassan 
Published: September 2024

_
Today’s gas-compression operators are under increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Fortunately, multiple technologies are available that can support that objective while enabling operators to move more gas cost-effectively. Embracing such advancements can positively impact a reduced-carbon future without compromising operational efficiency or profitability.
To choose the right technologies for a gas-compression package, it’s critical for operators to have a clear understanding of their business and GHG emissions-related goals. Operators also need clarity concerning the impact of evolving requirements on total cost of ownership (TCO) as well as potential financial ramifications.
Producing more gas at a lower cost with lower GHG emissions is possible with new technologies. Operators can support their success by choosing the right engine driver for a gas-compression package based on their unique needs and site conditions. It’s critical to consider an engine’s power density and TCO, as that informs an operator’s selections and can lower a gas-compression package’s operating cost in terms of dollars per thousand cubic feet ($/Mcf) of gas throughput. An engine, such as the Cat G3600 A4 Gen 2, that can deliver a 10% power increase compared to the previous model can allow operators to use fewer engines to perform the same amount of work. This advantage can lower capital requirements, reduce operating expenses, and decrease fuel consumption. Fewer engines operating in the field may also contribute to lower GHG emissions.

Modernizing Existing Assets
Operators prioritize flexibility, durability, and lower TCO. They can support those objectives by choosing an engine platform that allows performance upgrades across the life of the engine. This enables operators to apply advanced technology in their existing fleet year after year without incurring the substantial cost of purchasing a new engine. Engine upgrade kits offer operators an option to maximize and modernize active assets in a streamlined way, as the upgrades can be applied conveniently and cost-effectively at the time of a scheduled overhaul to minimize disruption.
For example, by using an upgrade kit for an A4 Gen 1 engine model referenced above, operators can lower volatile organic compounds up to 32%, formaldehyde up to 24%, carbon monoxide up to 13%, methane emissions up to 33%, and total GHG emissions up to 5% on a grams per brake horsepower-hour (g/bhp-hr) basis* while saving the traditional capital expenditure of a new engine. (*Site conditions: Same power level between the G3600 A4 Gen 1 and Gen 2, 85MN, 905 BTU/scf, 100% load, 25°C ambient, 500-ft altitude.)
Such updates are relatively cost neutral when applied as part of a scheduled major overhaul and require minimal or no change to the compression package. This makes upgrade kits a wise choice to ensure equipment keeps pace with industry demands.

The complete paper presents a multidisciplinary view of the evolution of the concept of a development project for the central area of the Sururu reservoir and the method applied to address challenges and propose solutions. The central area presents distinct characteristics from typical Brazilian presalt fields, with low permeabilities despite high porosity.

Sururu Reservoir
The reservoir is in the Santos Basin 230 km offshore Rio de Janeiro at water depths ranging from 2000 to 2300 m. The wildcat in the reservoir, 1-BRSA-618-RJS (1-RJS-656), is in the central area of the field, which is the main subject of the present work. The well exhibited reasonably high average porosity while presenting low permeabilities and low productivity when compared with other presalt wells. The second well, 3-BRSA-891A-RJS (3-RJS-682A), was drilled in 2011 in an area known as Iara Horst, also in the central area of the Sururu reservoir and presenting the same challenges faced by the wildcat. The third well, 3-BRSA-1181D-RJS (3-RJS-715D), was drilled in 2013 as a high-angle multifractured well consisting of an alternative architecture. Productivity results, however, were similar to the ones obtained in the previous wells.
Investments were made in acquiring and reprocessing seismic data, ultimately leading to the drilling of the fourth well, 9-BRSA-1212-RJS (9-RJS-726). This well, in the Sururu Oeste area, revealed characteristics more similar to other Brazilian presalt fields and cleared the path to the later drilling of other Sururu Oeste wells.
These good results paved the way for floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel Petrobras 68 (P-68), which has produced both the Berbigão and Sururu reservoirs since November of 2019. P-68 is a 150,000-BOPD, 6-million std m³/d gas processing “replicant” FPSO that includes 10 producers (five from Berbigão and five from Sururu) and seven injectors (four in Berbigão and three in Sururu). However, the idea of developing an alternative for producing the Sururu Central area was never abandoned.
In 2020, the ninth Sururu well and the fourth well in the central area, 9-SRR-5-RJS, was drilled near some of the main Sururu Central faults, aiming to test the existence of better reservoir quality or the presence of conductive in-situ fractures. The results from the well were in line with the results from the previous three wells drilled in the area, confirming the challenging nature of Sururu Central productivity. A suitable development strategy for the area was increasingly dependent on the attainment of long-term dynamic data that could support a modeling hypothesis for this unique presalt reservoir.

Abstract

Background
The aim of this study was to demonstrate a manual semi-isolation specimen bag, and to compare the spillage rate and surgical outcomes between the usage this specimen bag in the process of transumbilical single-port laparoscopy and the conventional technique in laparoscopy for ovarian tumors (less than 12 cm in diameter) presumed to be benign.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 75 patients who underwent laparoscopic resection of ovarian tumors at the People's Hospital of Liuzhou, Guangxi, China, from October 2022 to October 2023. Among them, 40 cases were treated with transumbilical single-port laparoscopy combined with the manual semi-isolation specimen bag (study group), and 35 cases were treated with traditional multi-port laparoscopy (control group). The average total operation time, tumor resection time, time for specimen retrieval after tumor resection, and postoperative recovery were observed in both groups.
Results
The two groups had similar baseline characteristics. The tumor excision time of control group was shorter than in the study group (42.46 ± 12.77 min vs. 51.88 ± 13.06 min). but the time of specimen removal after tumor excision were significantly shorter in the study group compared to those in the control group(25.98 ± 5.40 min vs. 36.66 ± 15.12 min).However, the average total operation time was similar (101.54 ± 32.16 min vs. 101.28 ± 18.46 min༉. Other surgical outcomes, which were similar between two groups, included length of hospital stay and VAS score at 12h postoperatively. There were no postoperative morbidity in the study group meanwhile 2 in the control group.

Abstract

Background Closed reduction and internal fixation is the key to early and minimally invasive treatment of pelvic fractures in patients with severe trauma. Although the pelvic unlocking closed reduction device has been promoted to a certain extent, the therapeutic effect and surgical strategy skills of which in treating severe traumas were not clarified in particularly. Our study was to explore the therapeutic effect and surgical strategy skills of the pelvic unlocking closed reduction device in treating severe traumas combined with pelvic fractures.Methods Data were retrospectively collected from 13 patients with severe traumas undergoing pelvic unlocking closed reduction for pelvic fractures in our hospital between July 2021 and December 2022. Seven males and six females aged 46.4 ± 16.7 years were involved. The operation time, times of fluoroscopy, and blood loss were recorded intraoperatively. Postoperative complications, and fracture healing time were recorded. The Matta and Majeed scales were used to evaluate fracture reduction and clinical efficacy respectively.Results The time from injury to surgery was 8.2 ± 3 (4–14) days. No wound infection, loosening or breakage of internal fixation, or loss of reduction occurred. The clinical healing time was 3.5 ± 0.7 (3–5) months. Three cases suffered paresthesia on unilateral anterolateral thigh. According to the postoperative imaging Matta scores, 12 cases were excellent and 1 case was good, with an excellent and good rate of 100%. At the last follow-up, the Majeed functional scores were excellent in all 13 cases.Conclusions For patients with severe trauma combined with pelvic fracture, the pelvic unlocking and reduction device can be used for minimally invasive internal fixation at an early stage as long as their vital signs are stable. This study summarized and proposed for the first time the 'turn-back order' reduction and internal fixation philosophy of 'posterior-ring unlocking - anterior ring to posterior ring reduction stabilization - posterior ring to anterior ring internal fixation placement' in pelvic closed reduction and internal fixation surgery.
Comparative Analysis of HER2 Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Brightfield Dual-Color In Situ Hybridization (DISH) in Lymph Node Metastasized Breast Cancer
Authors: Iampenkhae Kroonpong , Pisutpunya Adiluck , Apornvirat Sompon 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background
The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor, implicated in 15–20% of breast cancers. HER2 amplification is both prognostic and predictive of response to HER2-targeted therapy. IHC is the preferred initial test due to its cost-effectiveness and simplicity. While FISH is the gold standard test for HER2 amplification, it has several limitations, prompting consideration of DISH as an alternative. This study aims to evaluate the concordance between HER2 IHC and DISH in lymph node metastasized breast cancer and compares the results to existing data on HER2 IHC and FISH.
Methods
This retrospective study included 1,307 cases of pathologically confirmed lymph node metastasized invasive breast carcinoma with HER2 IHC scores of 2+ (481 cases) and 3+ (826 cases). Interpretation of HER2 IHC was performed using the 2023 ASCO/CAP guideline. HER2 DISH was conducted and evaluated by the HER2/Chromosome 17 signals ratio.
Results
HER2 amplification was detected in 933 cases, including 92% (760) of IHC 3 + cases and 36% (173) of IHC 2 + cases. Comparison with the meta-analysis data of IHC and FISH showed no significant differences, indicating that DISH is a reliable alternative to FISH.
Conclusion
Our study demonstrates no significant difference in the positive rates of HER2 IHC to DISH when compared with prior data of IHC to FISH, reaffirming the use of HER2 DISH as an effective and more accessible alternative to FISH in breast cancer. The high concordant rate between HER2 IHC and DISH in the IHC 3 + group and low positive rate in the IHC 2 + group support the recommendation to proceed with HER2-targeted therapy in IHC 3 + cases and to perform ISH in IHC 2 + cases.

Abstract

In this study, the effect of the dietary supplementation with a novel source oftannins on the gut microbiome of pigs was evaluated. Tannins from differentsources are used in pigs as an alternative to antimicrobials and to zinc and coppersupplementations. This is the first report on the effects of tannins extracted fromtara (Cesalpina spinosa) on the pig gut microbiome. Twenty male finishing pigswere sampled and assigned randomly to the treatment (tannin supplementation)and control groups: rectum swabs were used for 16S rRNA-gene sequencing ofthe gut microbiota. Based on the gut microbiota composition as a whole thetwo groups were clearly distinguishable, as shown by Bray-Curtis dissimilaritiesand by the high accuracy of prediction (0.854) from the OTU-count table with aRandom Forest classification model. On the other hand, other typical indicatorsof microbial diversity, like alpha diversity indices, and the F:B ratio, were notsignificantly different between treatment and controls, likely because of the smallsample size. In conclusion, the dietary supplementation with tannins from taraextracts appears to significantly alter the overall gut microbiome of finisihingpigs, although it is still unclear how this reverberates at the level of specificmicrobiome diversity indicators.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Structured Abstract Objective: This study aimed to compare the economic impact and postoperative outcomes between the local anesthesia technique (WALANT) and general anesthesia in carpal tunnel release surgeries.
Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted involving 251 patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. The patients were divided into two groups: the WALANT group, consisting of 140 patients who underwent surgery with local anesthesia, and the General Anesthesia group, with 111 patients. Costs were analyzed and compared, as well as clinical outcomes, including postoperative pain, patient satisfaction, and time to return to daily activities.
Results: The average cost per patient was significantly lower in the WALANT group (R$252,000.00) compared to the general anesthesia group (R$506,084.00). Additionally, patients in the WALANT group reported lower postoperative pain and returned to daily activities more quickly.
Conclusion: The average cost per patient in the WALANT group was approximately 64% lower than in the general anesthesia group. The WALANT technique has proven to be an economical and effective alternative for carpal tunnel surgery, with clinical outcomes comparable to those of general anesthesia. The choice of anesthetic technique should be based on an individualized assessment, considering costs and patient preferences.
Advancing Mental Stress Detection in Indian Housewives: A Deep Learning Approach with Wearable Physiological Sensors and Feature Selection Methods
Authors: Gedam Shruti , Dutta Sandip , Jha Ritesh 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Detecting mental stress is critical for timely intervention and support, especially in groups with distinct pressures, such as housewives. This study investigates the possibility of detecting mental stress in Indian housewives using wearable physiological sensors (separately and combinedly) and deep learning (DL) techniques, notably proposed Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and proposed Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) classifiers. Electrocardiography (ECG), galvanic skin response (GSR), and Skin Temperature (ST) are among the physiological signals studied. These signals provide information on autonomic nervous system regulation, emotional arousal, and changes in peripheral blood flow caused by stress. Notably, feature selection methods have a significant effect on model’s performance. The SelectKBest and Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) approaches demonstrate promising results in terms of precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy achieving highest accuracy of 97.51% in LSTM using RFE and 94.23% in RNN using RFE when all data signals collected are used. This study illustrates the importance of wearable sensors for assessing mental stress in Indian housewives, highlighting DL's potential for improving stress detection. This research promises personalized therapy, which will improve mental health and quality of life. Early stress diagnosis and response can help to reduce negative health outcomes. The findings emphasise the significance of feature selection and provide significant insights for future research.
Corporate Tax Disclosure
Authors: Hoopes Jeffrey L. , Robinson Leslie , Slemrod Joel 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Policies that require, or recommend, disclosure of corporate tax information are becoming more common throughout the world, as are examples of tax-related information increasingly influencing public policy and perceptions. In addition, companies are increasing the voluntary provision of tax-related information. We describe those trends and place them within a taxonomy of public and private tax disclosure. We then review the academic literature on corporate tax disclosures and discuss what is known about their effects. One key takeaway is the paucity of evidence that many tax disclosures mandated with the aim of increasing tax revenue have produced additional revenue. We highlight many crucial unanswered questions, answers to which would inform future tax legislation and financial accounting rule making.

One of the factors affecting rice fluffy level is water and rice ratio in the process of cooking. This study aims to determine the effect of the ratio of rice and water to the nature of the tender of rice with scoring test conducted by several panelists and analyze the right water needs in the process of rice cooking. The research was conducted in February 2018, at the Laboratorium Rekayasa Bioproses dan Pascapanen, Jurusan Teknik Pertanian. This research used three types of rice, Rojolele, Cimelati, and IR 64 with the treatment of rice and water ratio: 5: 8,5: 9. 5:10, 5:11. Research stages include analysis of amylose content, duration of cooking, rehydration power, texture, and scoring test of level tender and level of fondness to the tender. The results showed that, the higher the water and rice ratio, the longer cooking time, the rehydration power increased, the texture was more tender. In the same water and rice ratio, Cimelati rice has the highest residence value than Rojolele and IR 64, while Rojolele rice has the lowest residence value compared to Cimelati and IR 64. The highest preference value of Rojolele rice rice is shown in the ratio of rice and water 5:11, while on rice Cimelati and IR 64 is 5:10.

En los últimos años, la producción, circulación y consumo de podcast ha crecido exponencialmente, hasta convertirse en uno de los formatos de mayor expansión en el ámbito mediático contemporáneo. Por tratarse de una pieza sonora que privilegia duraciones acotadas, la atemporalidad y el acceso asincrónico de contenidos originales reproducibles en línea o en desconexión, su implementación didáctica en contextos escolares o su funcionalidad para comunicar procesos de investigación resulta muy beneficiosa.
Si bien en el ámbito de la enseñanza de nivel superior hemos registrado que el podcast constituye uno de los géneros discursivos más abordados en en el trayecto formativo de carreras de Comunicación, su producción no suele ser explorada en tanto dispositivo de comunicación para investigadores e investigadoras noveles o con experiencia. Por ello, este artículo se propone reflexionar en torno a las potencialidades del podcast como formato de divulgación de saberes especializados, destinados a audiencias (no) especializadas, a partir del análisis de dos casos concretos.
Se observa que estos podcast ofrecen fecundas maneras e recontextualizar los saberes elaborados en el marco de una investigación y de comunicar producciones académicas de modalidad escrita (libros, tesis, ponencias, artículos) mediante lenguaje sonoro que se enriquece de elementos clásicos de la radiofonía.
Analysis of Climate Indicators For Wine Production in the Brazilian Semi-Arid

Published: September 2024

Objective: The study aims to analyze the influence of climatology (abiotic indicators) on the fermentation process of grape must (Vitis vinifera L.) for wine production in Nossa Senhora da Glória (SE), Piranhas (AL) and Jeremoabo (BA).

Theoretical Framework: The study was based on data from the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA), the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET), the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).

Method: The documentary analysis method is used, having a mixed characteristic, in terms of qualitative and quantitative nature, making comparisons in the Caatinga Biome, in different municipalities in the Brazilian semi-arid region (municipalities of Nossa Senhora da Glória in the state of Sergipe, Piranhas in the state of Alagoas and Jeremoabo in the state of Bahia) with bibliographical analyses.

Results and Discussion: The proximity to the Equator is a factor that determines a high number of hours of sunshine per year and, consequently, high rates of evapotranspiration. The rainfall regime in the study areas is directly related to the configurations of large-scale atmospheric and oceanic circulation over the tropics, among which the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) stands out; the Frontal Systems (SF), fed by moisture from the South Atlantic, which define the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (ZCAS); the easterly waves, which are groups of clouds that move in the Atlantic, from east to west; and the Northeast and Southeast Trade Winds.

Research Implications: Data collection in some periods of time by the INMET meteorological station shows that the three cities analyzed have very similar profiles in all indicators evaluated, since these locations are located in the same climatic area, and are also relatively close, and can carry out a triangulation of data and areas, favoring a wider region, and showing that the area has great potential for agricultural production, especially grapes for subsequent fermentation and wine making.

Originality/Value: The study seeks to present characteristics of these semi-arid regions in general, due to the aridity of the climate, availability of solar radiation, water deficiency with unpredictability of rainfall and the presence of soils poor in organic matter.
