Guest Editorial: Industry Transformation Takes Many Forms
Authors: Read Alex 
Published: February 2017

Guest editorial
Many column inches are filled with discussion of how companies need to operate in the lower-for-longer market that the upstream oil and gas industry continues to face. Much of what we read is focused around headline words such as “innovation” and “disruption.” I feel these are used too often and inappropriately such that we lose focus around their meaning. However, if asked for one word that I believe encapsulates what the oil and gas industry needs, it would be “transformation.”
The oil and gas industry has a history of delivering incredible engineering feats that are impressive in their innovation by any measure in terms of sheer physical or budgetary scale. Whether we look back to the early Gulf of Mexico and North Sea facilities designed to withstand extreme marine environments, the ultradeepwater subsea developments offshore Africa and Brazil, or the mega-projects around floating LNG, the industry has a history of innovation. The rise of independent oil companies, redefining markets in certain regions, has been a good example of disruptive practices.
What we need to focus on now is how we transform the industry. This word can resonate with all of us working in the industry at every level within an organization; all of us can offer ideas for how we could transform what we do, whether at a company or personal level and with a long-term outlook or on a daily basis.
One of the key transformations occurring now is organizations coming together—through mergers, acquisitions, and alliances—to combine products and services from subsurface through subsea and pipelines to topside processing. The move is clearly toward integration of products and services, with companies trying to reduce the costs of interfaces of different aspects of field development and production and reducing the overhead of business operations. While the impact of the downturn cannot be ignored, it is my hope that these changes will offer the opportunity for transformation from an industry that has been heavily project-focused to one that is geared more to delivering standardized products designed to be flexible enough to be modified to cope with the range of projects and operating conditions in which they will deployed. This is a move toward a more efficient engineering industry in the long term.
AIME Legacy Continues To Benefit SPE and Other Member Societies

Member Societies
For those not familiar with AIME, it stands for the “American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers.” AIME, founded in 1871 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, was one of the first national engineering societies established in the United States. In subsequent years, AIME was joined by four other engineering founder societies—the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers—and formed the United Engineering Foundation. An interesting side note is that US President Herbert Hoover, a mining engineer, served as the AIME president in 1920. More detailed information on the history of AIME can be found in the JPT articles referenced below.
As AIME itself continued to grow, it decentralized and formed four independently operated member societies:
SME (Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration)
TMS (The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society)
AIST (Association for Iron & Steel Technology)
SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers)
The overarching mission of AIME remains to support its member societies, with an accompanying vision to honor its legacy as a valued partner with the member societies. The purpose of this article is to report to our members how AIME is fulfilling its mission of preserving our legacy.
AIME’s History and Heritage Committee is charged with providing over-sight to activities related to preserving and enhancing this legacy. Some of the key focus areas include archiving historical materials, documenting key initiatives and activities of the institute prior to the formation of the independent member societies, capturing oral histories from members on their experiences in the “early days” of their respective industries, maintaining the AIME awards and recognition program, and highlighting specific activities such as commemoration of AIME’s 145th anniversary in 2016 and planning for the 150th milestone in 2021.
O ensino de história e o protagonismo discente: desafios na Amazônia rondoniense
Authors: Pesovento Adriane , Rodrigues Denise Pereira , Hell Janiny Kélvia Pisoler 
Published: February 2017

A disciplina de História é geralmente vista como matéria de difícil entendimento por parte dos educandos. Tal constatação decorre do fato de que uma significativa parcela dos educandos não reconhece a relevância do estudo do passado num tempo presente repleto de informações e novidades. Para alguns analistas, esta situação decorre da falta de diálogo em sala entre docente e discente, bem como da ausência de conexão e problematização entre o passado estudado e o presente vivido, que influencia negativamente o processo de ensino-aprendizagem da história, visto que os estudantes continuam a percebê-la como uma linha do tempo com sucessivos acontecimentos factuais apesar de toda a crítica a essa abordagem, na qual os fatos são narrados em ordem cronológica e de certo modo evolutiva. Para pensar possíveis abordagens metodológicas que transformem a percepção dos educando em relação à História ensinada, o presente estudo visa problematizar as questões observadas durante as atividades do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação a Docência – PIBID, realizadas no 7º ano do ensino fundamental da Escola E. E. F. e M. Cândido Portinari, no município de Rolim de Moura, na Amazônia rondoniense. A partir das informações levantadas com entrevistas semi-estruturadas e observações, procura-se refletir acerca da denominada perspectiva “tradicional” e das “novas” possibilidades metodológicas no fazer histórico em sala de aula. A perspectiva refere-se a pensá-las como posturas que valorizam a relação entre o passado e o presente por meio da história local e consequentemente possibilitem aos educandos se verem como sujeitos históricos.

Three‐dimensional interstitial space mediates predator foraging success in different spatial arrangements
Authors: Hesterberg Stephen G. , Duckett C. Cole , Salewski Elizabeth A. , Bell Susan S. 
Published: February 2017

AbstractIdentifying and quantifying the relevant properties of habitat structure that mediate predator–prey interactions remains a persistent challenge. Most previous studies investigate effects of structural density on trophic interactions and typically quantify refuge quality using one or two‐dimensional metrics. Few consider spatial arrangement of components (i.e., orientation and shape) and often neglect to measure the total three‐dimensional (3D) space available as refuge. This study tests whether the three‐dimensionality of interstitial space, an attribute produced by the spatial arrangement of oyster (Crassostrea virginica) shells, impacts the foraging success of nektonic predators (primary blue crab, Callinectes sapidus) on mud crab prey (Eurypanopeus depressus) in field and mesocosm experiments. Interstices of 3D‐printed shell mimics were manipulated by changing either their orientation (angle) or internal shape (crevice or channel). In both field and mesocosm experiments, under conditions of constant structural density, predator foraging success was influenced by 3D aspects of interstitial space. Proportional survivorship of tethered mud crabs differed significantly as 3D interstitial space varied by orientation, displaying decreasing prey survivorship as angle of orientation increased (0° = 0.76, 22.5° = 0.13, 45° = 0.0). Tethered prey survivorship was high when 3D interstitial space of mimics was modified by internal shape (crevice survivorship = 0.89, channel survivorship = 0.96) and these values did not differ significantly. In mesocosms, foraging success of blue crabs varied with 3D interstitial space as mean proportional survivorship (± SE) of mud crabs was significantly lower in 45° (0.27 ± 0.06) vs. 0° (0.86 ± 0.04) orientations and for crevice (0.52 ± 0.11) vs. channel shapes (0.95 ± 0.02). These results suggest that 3D aspects of interstitial space, which have direct relevance to refuge quality, can strongly influence foraging success in our oyster reef habitat. Our findings highlight the importance of spatial arrangement in mediating consumptive pathways in hard‐structured habitats and demonstrate how quantifying the three‐dimensionality of living space captures aspects of habitat structure that have been missing from previous empirical studies of trophic interactions and structural complexity.

Published: February 2017

AbstractA new chemical synthesis pathway to obtain tert‐butyl‐dibromophosphane is proposed and compared to former ones. A first IR and NMR spectroscopic characterization of the molecule is given. IR spectra were recorded between 80 and 660 cm−1 at the SOLEIL Synchrotron facility and between 800 and 3100 cm−1 at the Kassel laboratories. All 42 vibrational modes were calculated using the Gaussian program package. The main abundant isotopologue tBuP79Br81Br is chiral, and the barrier to enantiomeric inversion has been determined. Assignments of the observed infrared bands are proposed.
Taxonomy of the bivalve Ptychomya in the Lower Cretaceous of the Neuquén basin (west‐central Argentina)

Published: February 2017

AbstractIn the Lower Cretaceous Agrio Formation, Neuquén Basin (west‐central Argentina), the highly variable genus Ptychomya Agassiz has challenged traditional taxonomists for over a century. Here we apply a previously outlined quantitative protocol in order to settle the taxonomy of the genus based on specimens recorded from the base to the top of the Agrio Formation. The shell outline and ribbing pattern, two prominent external features of the valves, were quantified using geometric morphometric measurements of closed and open outlines, respectively. Morphological groupings were identified using model‐based clustering, and the presence of significant morphological gaps between them was statistically tested. Our results show that the variation historically attributed to a single species, namely Ptychomya koeneni Behrendsen, corresponds to intra‐ and interspecific variability of at least four species, one of which was previously unknown (Ptychomya esbelta sp. nov.) whereas another was regarded as a subspecies of P. koeneni, namely Ptychomya windhauseni Weaver. We were also able to confirm the specific rank of Ptychomya coihuicoensis Weaver and the presence of P. koeneni in the upper Hauterivian of the Agrio Formation. This study represents a significant improvement over the previous state of knowledge of the genus Ptychomya in the Andes of Argentina, enhancing its biostratigraphical usefulness and palaeobiogeographical significance, and may serve as a model for the study of other poorly known bivalve faunas from other Andean basins of South America.
Drift probabilities for Icelandic cod larvae

AbstractBrickman, D., Marteinsdottir, G., Logemann, K., and Harms, I. H. 2007. Drift probabilities for Icelandic cod larvae – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 64, 49–59. The climatological distribution of juvenile Icelandic cod is characterized by a negative spatial age gradient, with a fairly abrupt decrease in age near the northwest corner of Iceland, and a spatial abundance gradient with higher concentrations of 0-group fish inshore. Flowfields from a high-resolution circulation model developed for Icelandic waters were used to investigate larval drift from the various spawning grounds in Icelandic coastal waters to understand the distribution of 0-group fish. To present the results clearly, drift probability density functions (pdfs) are derived describing the probability of drifting from a given spawning ground to a given spatial region over a specified time interval. These pdfs are used to determine the spawning grounds most probably contributing to the observed age distribution. The observed spatial gradient in age is likely due to differences in the spawning location of larvae, with older larvae originating in spawning grounds in the southwest and younger larvae from farther north. In general, the contribution from the main spawning grounds in the southwest is predicted to decrease with clockwise distance from the source region. The pdf technique was also used to investigate drift from regions on the south coast of Iceland corresponding to known or possible subpopulation spawning grounds, to see whether these spawning areas are associated with distinct drift patterns. This technique is a useful way to present larval drift results and to facilitate comparison with real data.
Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase and plant growth
Authors: de Silva J. , Arrowsmith D. , Hellyer A. , Whiteman S. , Robinson S. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET) catalyses the breaking and re-joining of xyloglucan molecules. It may be involved in plant growth, functioning either to anchor newly synthesized xyloglucan polymers into the cell wall or to reversibly loosen the cellulose-xyloglucan network permitting turgor-driven cell expansion. Consistent with a role in growth, levels of XET activity have been shown to correlate with elongation in, for example, maize roots (Pritchard et al., 1993). Our group has recently isolated a cDNA clone from nasturtium (de Silva et al., 1993) encoding a seed enzyme with XET activity (Edwards et al., 1986; Fanutti et al., 1993). The biological function of XET is being investigated via in vivo manipulation.
We have used the nasturtium sequence to isolate several cDNA clones from tomato whose encoded polypeptide sequences exhibit approximately 40% homology with nasturtium XET. Heterologous expression in E. coli has been used to confirm XET activity. An isoform of XET has been purified from tomato fruit and a polyclonal antibody raised. The antibody and gene-specific nucleic acid probes are being used to monitor developmental changes in XET protein and mRNA levels, respectively. Preliminary results suggest that tomato XET is encoded by a family of genes which show different developmental patterns of expression. Agrobacterium transformation of tomato has been carried out using the nasturtium cDNA (sense orientation) and a fruit-expressed tomato cDNA (antisense orientation) under the control of a constitutive promoter. The phenotypic consequences of altering levels of XET are being investigated.

Published: February 2017

AbstractBackgroundComputed tomography (CT) is common for trauma victims, but is usually done without informing patients of potential risks or obtaining informed consent.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of two elements (time and normal level of alertness) necessary for informed consent for CT in adult trauma patients.MethodsWe conducted this prospective observational, two‐phase cohort study at two urban, Level I trauma centers. In the first phase, we determined the median time needed to obtain informed consent for CT by performing sham consent on 11 injured patients at each site. In the second phase, we observed all adult trauma activation cases that presented during specified time blocks and recorded Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores and the time available for consent (TAC) for CT—defined as the time between the end of the secondary trauma survey and when the patient left the resuscitation room to go to CT. We defined, a priori, feasible consent cases as those in which the patient had a GCS of 15 and a TAC greater than the median sham consent time at that site.ResultsThe median times for sham CT consent at the two sites were 3:36 and 2:09 minutes:seconds (range = 1:12–4:54). Of the 729 trauma patients enrolled during phase II, 646 (89%) had a CT scan, and of these 646 patients, 461 (71.4% [95% confidence interval = 67.8%– 74.7%]) met feasible consent criteria. Of the 185 patients who failed to meet feasible consent criteria, 171 (92.4%) had a GCS < 15, one (0.5%) had a TAC less than the sham consent time, and 13 (7.0%) had both.ConclusionWe found that informed consent for CT was likely feasible in over two‐thirds of acute, adult trauma patients.
A Multilevel, Statewide Investigation of School District Anti‐Bullying Policy Quality and Student Bullying Involvement
Authors: Gower Amy L. , Cousin Molly , Borowsky Iris W. 
Published: February 2017

ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDAlthough nearly all states in the United States require school districts to adopt anti‐bullying policies, little research examines the effect of these policies on student bullying and health. Using a statewide sample, we investigated associations between the quality of school district anti‐bullying policies and student bullying involvement and adjustment.METHODSSchool district anti‐bullying policies (N = 208) were coded for their quality based on established criteria. District‐level data were combined with student reports of bullying involvement, emotional distress, and school connectedness from a state surveillance survey of 6th, 9th, and 12th grade students (N = 93,437).RESULTSResults indicated that policy quality was positively related to bullying victimization. Furthermore, students reporting frequent perpetration/victimization who also attended districts with high‐quality policies reported more emotional distress and less school connectedness compared with students attending districts with low quality policies. Although statistically significant, the magnitude of these associations was small.CONCLUSIONSHaving a high‐quality school district anti‐bullying policy is not sufficient to reduce bullying and protect bullying‐involved young people. Future studies examining policy implementation will inform best practices in bullying prevention.

F were synthesized by the Wittig-Horner and Suzuki coupling reactions. It was reasoned that introducing linear alkyl chains into the fluorene structure could facilitate the deposition of high-quality films by an economical and simple process. The thin solid films of DctF and Dct

2

F show strongly enhanced emissions in comparison to their dilute solutions, which indicate the aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE). Their decomposition temperatures (T
d) exceed 400°C and the glass transition temperature (T
g) of DctF is 105°C. The maximum fluorescence emission wavelengths are in the region of 458–469 nm.
Russian Military Thinking – A New Generation of Warfare
Authors: Mattsson Peter A. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
This article deals with how Russian warfighting is described and discussed in contemporary Russian military theory. The approach has been studies, analyses and interpretations of primarily Russian sources as prominent Russian journals, but also Western analyses and interpretations of contemporary Russian warfighting discussions. Theoretical considerations are limited to the period from the 1980s to the present day - 2014. Mainly Russian experts on military theory (Bogdanov, Chekinov, Gareev, Kiselyov, Kuralenko, Morozov, Slipchenko, Vinogradov, Vladimirov, Vorobyov) have been studied, but also sources from some prominent Western experts on Russian warfare (FitzGerald, Gileotti, Kipp, McDermott).
