Authors: Полухин П.В. 
Published: April 2024

Формирование и описание оценочных функций является важной задачей определения необходимых и достаточных условий существования направленности связей между узлами байесовской сети. Применение оценочных функций различного типа позволяет оптимизировать процедуру обучения сети и определить ту функцию, которая наиболее адаптирована для конкретной сети с фиксированным набором обучающей выборки. В работе рассматриваются оценочные функции, построенные на основе логарифма правдоподобия, взаимной энтропии, а также асимптотической метрики Байеса – Дирихле. Данные функции широко применяются в процессе решения задач обучения структуры вероятностных моделей и могут быть адаптированы для определения направленности связей между узлами временных моделей, построенных на основе динамических байесовских сетей.
The formation and description of evaluation functions is an important task for determining the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of directional links between Bayesian network nodes. The use of evaluation functions of various types allows you to evaluate and optimize the network training procedure and determine the function that is most adapted for a particular network with a fixed set of training samples. The work examines evaluation functions based on the logarithm of likelihood, mutual entropy, as well as the Bayes – Dirichlet asymptotic metric. These functions are widely used in the process of solving problems of training the structure of probabilistic models and can be adapted to determine the direction of connections between nodes of temporary models built on the basis of dynamic Bayesian networks.

Приводится описание частной методики составления допустимого расписания работы составляющих узлов (элементов) распределенной мобильной автоматизированной системы сбора данных. Такие системы призваны выполнять задачи получения данных в различных точках местности при перемещении их по пунктам сбора данных, а длительность выполнения операций каждого узла зависит от внешних условий, например, погодных или сейсмических. Примером такой системы может служить гравиметрия, магнитометрия и сейсмометрия в точках профиля на местности. Однако, применяя принцип аналогии, можно построить модель для процесса сбора данных любой распределенной системой, в том числе специального назначения.
This paper describes a particular method for drawing up an acceptable schedule for the operation of the constituent nodes (elements) of a distributed mobile automated data collection system. Such systems are designed to perform the task of obtaining data at various points in the area, moving through data collection points, and the duration of the operations of each node depends on external conditions, for example, weather or seismic. An example of such a system is gravimetry, magnetometry and seismometry at profile points on the ground. However, using the principle of analogy, it is possible to build a similar model for the process of data collection by any distributed system, including for special purposes.

Reservoir evaluation of dolomitized Devonian strata in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin: implications for carbon capture, utilization, and storage
Authors: Stacey Jack , Corlett Hilary , Hollis Cathy , Hills David 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Differentially dolomitized carbonate strata in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) are increasingly targeted for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), yet few studies have evaluated the petrophysical characteristics of these conventional hydrocarbon reservoirs for this purpose. To address this, this study uses drill-core analysis (sedimentology, diagenesis, pore morphology, and distribution), together with core-plug and production data, to evaluate the properties of five depleted oil and gas fields in the Middle to Upper Devonian Swan Hills Formation, Leduc Formation and Wabamun Group.
The Swan Hills and Leduc formations are composed of reef, shoal, and lagoon deposits that are predominantly fossil-rich (e.g., stromatoporoid-dominated rudstones and boundstones). In contrast, the carbonate-ramp deposits of the Wabamun Group are fossil-poor, consisting instead of variably bioturbated carbonate mudstones, wackestones, and packstones. Replacement dolomitization is variable throughout each stratigraphic unit, but generally occurs within fossil-rich and/or heavily bioturbated intervals. Fracture densities are broadly comparable in limestone and dolostone. Porosity in the Swan Hills and Leduc formations is predominantly moldic and vuggy, occurring where fossils (e.g., stromatoporoids) are partially or fully dissolved. Pore space in the Wabamun Group is mostly restricted to intercrystalline porosity in burrows. In general, burial cements (e.g., calcite and dolomite) are volumetrically insignificant and only partially fill pores. Exceptions to this include porosity-occluding cements associated with fractures and breccias in the vicinity of faults.
Dolomitization and depositional facies are found to exert a strong control on pore morphology, distribution, and interconnectivity. Porosity is principally controlled by the relative abundance of skeletal grains and by the presence of burrows. These highly porous facies acted as fluid pathways during burial diagenesis, resulting in their preferential dolomitization, solution enhancement of pre-existing pores, and creation of volume reduction-related porosity. The high CO2 storage capacity and low unplanned plume migration risk (due to depositional and/or diagenetic baffles) of dolomitized reefal reservoirs (e.g., Swan Hills and Leduc formations) make them more attractive targets for CCUS than those with limited capacity and/or potential migration pathways (e.g., fault-related fractures and breccias in the Wabamun Group). These results demonstrate that drill-core analysis, in combination with legacy data, can provide valuable insights into the factors that control reservoir CO2 injectivity, plume migration, and storage capacity.
Incorporating Rate-Time Superposition In to Decline type Curve Analysis
Authors: Gardner David C. , Hager Charles J. , Agarwal Ram G. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Pressure transient data can be costly to obtain and may not be available for many wells, while well production data is routinely collected and is even available from industry data bases. In the absence of pressure transient data, methods that can use readily available well production data to perform pressure transient analysis have been developed. However, most of these methods assume either constant rate or constant pressure producing conditions. Those methods that do attempt to handle variable rate and/or draw-down pressure data, do so in an approximate manner, usually by defining an effective time as the cumulative production divided by the current production rate. This method appears to work well when the rate divided by the bottom hole producing pressure, declines smoothly and monotonically in time. There are however, difficulties with wells whose production history includes rates and/or pressures which vary from the established decline trend. The transients are not handled properly with the cumulative/rate effective time transformation and the transformed results are noisy and erroneous and can lead to misinterpretations.
This paper presents a rigorous technique to incorporate rate-time superposition into decline type-curve analysis. This new method incorporates readily available tabulated, constant-rate dimensionless pressure data panning a wide range of dimensionless times to handle transient, transitional and pseudo-steady-state flow conditions. This technique has been found to greatly improve the reliability of analyses for wells whose production history include significant changes in production rates such as can occur with curtailment, compression or shut-ins. The methodology is ideally suited to modern spreadsheet applications, where columns of data or tables can be easily input, subsequently searched, interpolated, used for calculations and results quickly plotted.
Through the rigorous application of the superposition method, a well's entire production history is coupled and properly weighted in the estimation of the original gas in place (OGIP), average pressure, effective permeability, and the extent of well stimulation or damage. Accuracy of this new method has been verified with numerical simulations and has been used to perform analyses using production data from gas wells ranging from ultra low to high permeability. A field example is included to demonstrate the applicability and versatility of this technology.
Epi-Clock: A sensitive platform to help understand pathogenic disease outbreaks and facilitate the response to future outbreaks of concern.
Authors: Ji Cong , Shao Junbin Jack 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
To predict potential epidemic outbreaks, we tested our strategy, Epi-Clock, which applies the novel ZHU algorithm on different SARS-CoV-2 datasets before outbreaks to search for real significant mutational accumulation patterns correlated with the outbreak events. Surprisingly, some inter-species genetic distances of Coronaviridae may represent the intermediate states of different species or subspecies in the evolutionary history of Coronaviridae. The insertions and deletions of whole genome sequences between different hosts were separately associated with important roles in the host transmission and shifts of Coronaviridae. Furthermore, we believe that non-nucleosomal DNA may play dominant roles in the divergence of different lineages of SARS-CoV-2 in different regions of the world because of the lack of nucleosome protection. We suggest that strong selective variation among different lineages of SARS-CoV-2 is required to produce strong codon usage bias, significantly appear in B.1.640.2 and B.1.617.2 (Delta). Interestingly, we found that an increasing number of other types of substitutions, such as those resulting from the hitchhiking effect, have accumulated, especially in the pre-breakout phase, even though some previous substitutions were replaced by other dominant genotypes. From most validations, we could accurately predict the potential pre-phase of outbreaks with a median interval of 5 days before.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) has Successfully Adapted to Grow in Suburban Environments
Authors: Abraham Thomas , Abraham Teresa , Thomas Sunil 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale (L.) Weber ex F.H. Wigg) is a perennial herbaceous plant that, although not native to its current habitats, has become invasive, posing economic challenges by outcompeting indigenous flora and agricultural crops. The precise factors enabling its dominance remain unclear. This study focuses on two main drivers: 1. Phenotypic changes in the seed head stalk, and 2. Phenotypic plasticity facilitating adaptation to diverse environments. Dandelion seeds are dispersed efficiently by wind, although the specific mechanisms are not fully understood. Research reveals that during seed head formation, the seed head stalk elongates and grows vertically, potentially aiding in seed dispersion. Morphological variations across habitats, including natural environments, suburban lawns, and playgrounds, contribute to dandelion's success. In suburban lawns, dandelions exhibit adaptations such as small leaves, short flower stalks angled at 30 degrees or lower, growing parallel to the lawn grass to evade mowing, while in playgrounds, they develop shorter structures to withstand trampling pressure. These findings underscore dandelion's adaptability and resilience, attributed to phenotypic plasticity, across varied ecological settings.
Social Justice in Your Name?!

Published: April 2024

Abstract

Social justice is a cornerstone of a fair society, impacting critical areas like human rights and economic growth. While disparities related to factors such as race and socioeconomic status are well-documented, a less explored issue is "alphabetical discrimination." This phenomenon involves ordering and potentially judging individuals based on the alphabetical sequence of their last names. In this study, we show that such a form of discrimination might influence significant life choices, particularly the selection of college majors. Leveraging datasets from two major universities in US and China, our results indicate that US students with earlier last name initials are significantly more likely to opt for liberal arts over STEM subjects. This tendency may be linked to variations in personality development stemming from their experiences with alphabetical order practices during their K-12 education. Notably, this trend is absent among international students from countries where alphabetical name order is not prevalent. These findings offer new insights into how one’s name can shape educational decisions and trajectories. Our findings provide implications for crafting policies that address such inadvertent biases, ensuring that all students, regardless of their last names, have equal opportunities and visibility.

Abstract
There is an increasing interest in nonequilibrium “hot” carrier generation, created by the decay of collective electronic oscillations on metals known as surface plasmons. Despite extensive efforts, direct observation of the mechanism responsible for generating hot carriers due to plasmon decay has proven challenging. Here, the dynamics of hot carrier generation on gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are followed with unparalleled detail through ultrafast X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL). In Au NPs, the plasmon dephases after 25 fs and the hot carrier population peaks within 105 fs, reaching thermal equilibrium within 1.5 ps. The nonequilibrium carriers display an energy dispersion governed by the density of states of the metal, with some carriers possessing energies surpassing that of a single photon, consistent with the involvement of an Auger heating mechanism distinct from the expected impact excitation that dominates the carrier multiplication step. The most energetic carriers exhibit relatively shorter lifespans, a property that may be critical for exploiting them in applications. This study substantiates hot carrier formation through nonradiative decay as the main decay channel of plasmon resonance. The proposed methodology provides a straightforward approach for real-time tracking of plasmon-induced hot carrier dynamics.
