Franchise nations: A framework for analysing the roles new media play in Chinese provisional business migration to Australia
Authors: Leong Susan 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
The objective of this article is to flesh out the theoretical framework of franchise nation first broached in 2009 as a means of understanding the three intersecting relationships between home nation and diaspora, host nation and diaspora, and home and host nations that surround the migrant condition. The term franchise nation seeks to encapsulate and critique the idea that the core elements of a nation’s culture can, like all franchises products and services, be replicated to order. I contend such a framework to be necessary because current approaches tend to emphasize certain aspects of migration dynamics at the expense of others. In what follows, I explain why this is so and what the franchise nation frameworks add to the analysis of Chinese migration that would otherwise be absent. Instead of dyadic understandings of the relationship between diaspora and nations that explain diasporic connectivity variously as long-distance nationalism, state-led transnationalism or domestic abroad transnationalism, the franchise nation framework is premised on a triadic relationship between diaspora, home and host nation. Starting with the example of Mainland Chinese provisional business migrants (PBMs), the article explains what the franchise nation framework brings to the investigation of the ways in which their everyday connections via Chinese social media inflect their experience of multiple belongings in Australia. The three arms of franchise nation triad in this instance consist of: the business migration policy that connects the Chinese PBMs to Australia; the diaspora engagement strategies with which China reaches out to the Chinese PBM diaspora; and the soft power policy that China employs in its dealings with other nations like Australia. The aim here is to argue for a change in how the study of migration is approached, shifting from a dyadic to a triadic framework.
Footloose transients: International students in Australia and their aspirations for transnational mobility after graduation
Authors: Gomes Catherine 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
Work on the sociocultural aspects of international students tends to largely focus on their experiences within the host country. Research points to the desire of these transient migrants to stay in the host nation through permanent residency rather than return immediately to the homeland once they graduate. While studies in Australia on the sociocultural experiences of international students are necessarily localized and accurate in their assessment of the intentional trajectory of these students post-graduation, my study suggests that a new pattern is emerging that shifts beyond home-host nation connections. Although international students desire Australian permanent residence, they do not necessarily want to remain in Australia. Likewise, neither do they seek to immediately return to their home nations. Through interviews with 60 international students in Melbourne, my research reveals that these students hold aspirations for transnational mobility with ambitions to live and work in the big cities of Europe, North America and Asia, and with plans to return to the home nation eventually or possibly in the future. Their aspirational mobility is encouraged by their experiences in Australia in terms of their ability to form friendship networks with fellow international students rather than with locals, and their sense of belonging to the home nation through rapid developments in communication and media technologies.
Audio-visual moiré patterns: Phasing in Guy Sherwin’s Optical Sound films
Authors: Mollaghan Aimee 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
British experimental film-maker Guy Sherwin’s Optical Sound films from the 1970s explore the corporeal correspondence between sound and image through a transposition of the optical soundtrack into the visual images presented on-screen. These films are fundamentally a series of experiments investigating not only the relationship between sound and image, but also the essence and materiality of film itself. Sherwin asserts that his Optical Sound films have three discernible influences on them: the rigorous structuralism of the London Filmmaker’s Co-operative of the 1970s, the idea of aural/visual equivalence and Steve Reich’s contemporaneous musical experiments with sound phasing. Bearing this assertion in mind, this article intends to explore how Sherwin’s films, such as Phase Loop (Sherwin, 1971, 2007), subvert conventional notions of sound and synchronization in the film form from the vantage point of structural/materialist film theory. Further to this, it will also consider the influence of Reich’s use of phasing, looping and his stress on the importance of process in the structuring of material in order to assess the effects of perceptual shifts as extended to the audio-visual experience by Sherwin.
The Craftsman: The use of sound design to elicit emotions
Authors: Hillman Neil , Pauletto Sandra 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
By looking at the relationship between audience emotions and a film’s soundtrack, this research started by asking the question ‘Are a listening-viewers Emotional Reactions to moving-picture sound design identifiable, predictable and repeatable?’. If so, can we pre-determine how an audience will react to audio stimuli, and, can we develop sound design techniques for triggering specific audience responses? This article proposes that within a film soundtrack, four distinct sound areas can be defined and described as the Logical, Abstract, Temporal and Spatial areas. The Logical Sound area is concerned with sound that carries direct communication and meaning. Dialogue and commentary are the most important examples of this area, which also includes symbolic and signalling sounds such as ring-tones, sirens, and other sounds and music with a clearly defined meaning. The Abstract Sound area is concerned with sounds that have a less codified and clear meaning. Atmospheres, backgrounds, room tones, sound effects and music are examples of these. The Temporal Sound area is concerned with the evolution in time of the sound design. Its characteristics are rhythm, pace and punctuation. This area can include music, sound effects and voice. The Spatial Sound area is concerned with the positioning of sounds within a three-dimensional soundfield. We propose that the definition of these areas provides a useful framework for sound designers and academics to devise and analyse how emotions can be elicited through sound design.
OMP-ELM: Orthogonal Matching Pursuit-Based Extreme Learning Machine for Regression
Authors: Alcin Omer F. , Sengur Abdulkadir , Qian Jiang , Ince Melih C. 
Published: March 2015

AbstractExtreme learning machine (ELM) is a recent scheme for single hidden layer feed forward networks (SLFNs). It has attracted much interest in the machine intelligence and pattern recognition fields with numerous real-world applications. The ELM structure has several advantages, such as its adaptability to various problems with a rapid learning rate and low computational cost. However, it has shortcomings in the following aspects. First, it suffers from the irrelevant variables in the input data set. Second, choosing the optimal number of neurons in the hidden layer is not well defined. In case the hidden nodes are greater than the training data, the ELM may encounter the singularity problem, and its solution may become unstable. To overcome these limitations, several methods have been proposed within the regularization framework. In this article, we considered a greedy method for sparse approximation of the output weight vector of the ELM network. More specifically, the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm is embedded to the ELM. This new technique is named OMP-ELM. OMP-ELM has several advantages over regularized ELM methods, such as lower complexity and immunity to the singularity problem. Experimental works on nine commonly used regression problems indicate that the investigated OMP-ELM method confirms these advantages. Moreover, OMP-ELM is compared with the ELM method, the regularized ELM scheme, and artificial neural networks.

Empirical rules of molecular photophysics in the light of ultrafast spectroscopy
Authors: Chergui Majed 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
The advent of ultrafast laser spectroscopy has allowed entirely new possibilities for the investigation of the ultrafast photophysics of inorganic metal-based molecular complexes. In this review we show different regimes where non-Kasha behavior shows up. We also demonstrate that while ultrafast intersystem crossing is a common observation in metal complexes, the ISC rates do not scale with the magnitude of the spin-orbit coupling constant. Structural dynamics and density of states play a crucial role in such ultrafast ISC processes, which are not limited to molecules containing heavy atoms.

Published: March 2015

Вивчено компонентний склад поверхневих ліпідів листя каланхое, що вирощувалися на концентрованих розчинах хлорбензолу, нонілфенолу та 2,4,6-тринітрофенолу. Адаптація рослин до екзогенних чинників відбувається за участю процесів елонгації оксосполук специфічно до структури ксенобіотиків при збільшенні загальної кількості поверхневих ліпідів від їх природи. Для хлорбензолу характерне гальмування біосинтезу та порушення процесу елонгації оксосполук, що призводить до появи коротколанцюгових, більш полярних компонентів. Нонілфенол також гальмує синтез оксосполук, але процес елонгації при цьому значно активується. Для впливу 2,4,6-тринітрофенолу характерне збільшення фракції оксосполук та активації процесу елонгації.

Published: March 2015

Abstract
The Greater Burgan field in Kuwait is the largest clastic oil field in the world. Its sheer size, complex geology, intricate surface facility network, 5,000 well-completions and 68-years of production history represent formidable challenges in reservoir simulation. In the last two decades, many flow simulation models, part-field and full-field, were developed as reservoir management tools to study depletion plan strategies and reservoir recovery. The new 2013 Burgan flow simulation was a major undertaking in terms of effort and financial cost. The model size, innovative technology, supporting resources, integrated workflow and meticulous planning applied to this project were unprecedented.
As the Burgan field has matured over time, the reservoir pressure has declined in certain areas, with associated reduced productivity. The reduction of wells’ productivity, combined with the increasing water production, has necessitated improved oil recovery (IOR) initiatives in order to support the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) 2030 strategy, sustaining oil production and ensuring high recovery from Burgan reservoirs. This paper describes the development of a dynamic model to design pressure maintenance projects for optimal reservoir management and IOR strategies. The prediction model was built on a history matched model on three levels, Global (Field), Regional (Reservoirs / Gathering Centers) and Wells. These three levels depict the concerted history matching effort in accordance with the recurrent data quality. Details of geologic and dynamic modeling have been documented and presented in previous Burgan SPE papers and are not repeated in this paper.
The primary objectives of the Burgan prediction model are meeting the production target profiles with optimal field development plans (FDP) and to maximize oil recovery. Two of the most promising projects are currently in different phases of development, Wara Pressure Maintenance Project (WPMP) and Burgan Sand Upper (BGSU-PMP). In this paper, only the WPMP is discussed in detail as the waterflood project is now entering operation stage after 10 years of planning and construction. BGSU-PMP is part of the Burgan FDP but is not focused within the scope of this paper.
Sub-surface modeling in the giant Greater Burgan field complex is not just enormous, it is also arduous and challenging. The accomplishment by the team was momentous despite a less-than-expected result. Nonetheless, lessons learnt offered valuable information for future improvement. It has been a long and difficult journey from geological model to dynamic model over the last five years. Yet, in pursuing IOR and EOR, the journey has just begun.

Published: March 2015

Abstract
The long-term geological sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in underground formations (deep saline aquifers) is the most economically viable option to decrease the emissions of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere which are the main contributing factors for global warming. The injection of CO2 in carbonate aquifers dissolves some of the calcite rock due to the formation of carbonic acid as a result of the interaction between CO2 and brine. This rock dissolution may affect the rock integrity and in turn will affect the rock mechanical properties. The effect of CO2 on the rock mechanical properties is a key parameter to be studied to assess the aquifer performance in the process of geological sequestration and to get safe and effective long-term storage.
The main objective of this study is to address the impact of geological sequestration of CO2 on the mechanical properties of carbonate aquifer and cap rocks. In addition, the effect of the storage time on these properties are investigated. Moreover, the effect of CO2 sequestration on rocks with different mechanical properties are studied, and the good candidate carbonate rocks for geologic sequestration are identified. In this study the CO2 was injected and soaked with the brine with the core at high pressure and high temperature (2000 psi and 100°C) to simulate the actual downhole conditions The carbonate cores were analyzed for mechanical properties using indirect tensile strength, unconfined compression, and acoustics testing machines.
Results show that CO2 sequestration affected the mechanical properties of the carbonate rocks as well as the cap rocks. Long time soaking of CO2 in brine allowed for the formation of enough carbonic acid to react with the cores and this greatly impacted the rock mechanical and acoustic properties. The significant impact of CO2 storage was noted on Khuff limestone and the good candidate among the carbonate rocks studied here for geological sequestration of CO2 is found to be Indiana limestone.

Abstract
A successful field trial of velocity-string technology was recently completed on a standing gas well with high condensate-gas ratio (CGR) in Saudi Arabia. The operation was performed in three attempts, and it included running a 10,000-ft-long, 2 3/8-in. outside diameter (OD) coiled tubing velocity string hung inside the existing 4 1/2-in. production tubing using a mechanical packer/hanger. To comply with the pressure barrier policy ((i.e. API 16ST) operations, the lower bottomhole assembly (BHA) included retrievable cartridges with double-flapper check valves, which were retrieved later using slickline. Both Saudi Aramco and the service company faced several serious challenges during this operation, which required three running attempts and also modifications to packer/hanger construction. Some of the procedures were changed, as well, to address the encountered complications. A test separator was used to measure the flow at surface prior to and after the velocity-string installation for evaluation of results. This standing well was revived after being dead for 2 years, and it was put back on production with more than 5 MMscf/D at flowing wellhead pressure (FWHP) of 1,900 psig, condensate rate in order of 1,000 B/D, and water rate less than 100 B/D. The velocity-string approach has proved to be a cost-effective solution for Saudi Aramco gas wells with a condensate banking problem, and the velocity-string approach is planned for several well candidates in the next 2 yr.
Successful Coiled-Tubing-Based Sand Consolidation Treatment in Remote Wells in Challenging Offshore Environment: A Case Study

Published: March 2015

Abstract
CB/OS-2 field is located offshore the west coast of India. The wells are of shallow depth with sanding issues. Many wells are either shut in or beaned back to control drawdown and ensure sand-free production. This has resulted in wells flowing at much lower rates than their potential. Conventional coiled tubing (CT) jobs or jobs that use a catenary system are not feasible because of the tidal/current conditions and limited load capacity of platform crane.
A platform-based CT sand consolidation operation using a modular and compact unit was conducted in two wells (XA 5 and XA 6). A 20-t modular crane was installed on the platform, and a detailed platform structural load analysis was carried out for spotting the CT unit and auxiliary equipment. Since no core samples were available from the field, sand consolidation tests were conducted on a bailed-out sand sample. A CT-conveyed inflatable packer was used to isolate the deeper section of the completion. The recipe was modified and customized to suit the logistical and fluid-handling constraints on the platform.
After a sand-consolidation resin treatment, well XA-05 is now producing 1,200 BOPD, in contrast to the earlier, pretreatment 300 BOPD. Well XA-06, which was shut in due to sanding issues, is now producing 300 BOPD. The wells are stable, and periodic intervention has confirmed that there is no sand fill. Pressure surveys also indicated that there has been no skin after the treatment.
Despite the many technical and logistical constraints, the sand consolidation jobs were successful execution and post-job results were excellent. This success has opened the way for similar jobs in this and other of the operator's fields.
Petrophysics for Horizontal Wells with Sourceless LWD Technology, A Case Study from Kuwait

Published: March 2015

Abstract
In horizontal holes, several factors are affecting formation resistivity. The electromagnetic waves generated from the LWD tools are covering the adjacent beds and the reading can be highly affected. Moreover, when the well trajectory is cutting a bed boundary at a high angle, polarization horns are causing severe noise that masks the true formation resistivity.
Recently, several wells in KOC had suffered the above mentioned effects causing great ambiguity in water saturation determination. Moreover, the use of LWD with natural radioactive sources has been always a big concern to KOC.
An alternative option to resistivity was proposed to KOC based on using Sigma. The technique incorporates Pulsed Neutron Generators and acts as a multi-purpose measurement (Resistivity / Density / Neutron / Sigma / Spectroscopy). In addition, the technology can be used Sourceless.
This technology was used for the first time in Kuwait with great success. The Sigma was used in the water saturation calculations. In addition, a time lapse Sigma was done where a second pass was recorded while pulling out of the hole. A comparison between drilling Sigma and reaming up Sigma was used to indicate any water movement by OBM invasion.
Spectroscopy was also used for formation evaluation specially clay content. This is rather useful in complex lithology especially when the Gamma Ray reading is affected by strange mineralogy, thus affecting mobility calculations for accurate ICD design.
