Buildup Evaluation of a Tight Overpressured Naturally Fractured Carbonate Reservoir with the Use of a Semi-Empirical Model
Authors: Azuara Diliegros Brenda , Aguilera Roberto 
Published: August 2023

Summary
This paper examines the buildup (BU) pressure response of a vertical well that penetrates an unconventional tight naturally fractured carbonate reservoir in Mexico. Four BUs in the same well over a period of 4 months, with intermediate flow periods, suggest partial closure of natural fractures. Radial flow is dominant in the four BUs. This is recognized in semilogarithmic and pressure derivative crossplots. However, the formulations require a consistent empirical component to match the BU data.
The four BU tests are evaluated with a semi-empirical dual porosity model with restricted interporosity flow. The restricted flow between matrix and fractures is the result of partial secondary mineralization (cementation) within the fractures, which can be visualized as a natural positive skin that reduces the oil flow from the matrix to the fractures. The empirical part of the method is provided by a severity exponent (SE), which helps improve the match between the BU semilog and derivative plots.
The BU evaluations permit estimating several parameters of interest, including fracture capacity (k2·h), skin, storativity ratio (ω), and the extrapolated pressure (p*). Results suggest that although natural fractures are present, they tend to close once the well goes on production. Thus, the conclusion is reached that the carbonate reservoir is tight and likely stress dependent. The calculated skin goes from an improved condition around the wellbore to slightly damaged conditions, probably due to fracture closure. The value of ω increases continuously, suggesting a tendency of the reservoir to move from dual to single porosity behavior. The reservoir is overpressured (0.87 psi/ft) and the extrapolated pressures (p*) decrease because of the tight characteristics of the reservoir. However, given the large size of the reservoir, the likelihood of depletion is low.
The novelty of this study is the development of a new easy-to-use semi-empirical well testing model for matching the BU pressure response of four tests performed in a well that penetrates an overpressured, unconventional, tight, naturally fractured carbonate reservoir. The tests could not be matched with conventional methods currently available in the literature.
Estimating Groundwater Recharge and Precipitation Sources of the Zamora River Basin, Southeastern Ecuador, by Using GIS and Stable Isotopes
Authors: Gualli Alexander , Galvão Paulo , Buenaño Mayra , Conicelli Bruno 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The correct management of groundwater depends on information regarding the evolutionary processes of groundwater and the characterization of spatial variability of recharge mechanisms. GIS-based index models have become a reliable alternative for mapping and interpreting recharge models due to their adaptability and reliability in estimating recharge. Furthermore, stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in water (δ2H and δ18O) help determine the origin and monitoring of water in the hydrological cycle. This paper aims to contribute to the knowledge of groundwater recharge by developing a conceptual recharge model using stable isotopes and estimating the recharge amount using a spatially distributed water balance model based on GIS for the Zamora River Basin (ZRB) in Ecuadorian Amazon. Due to the basin's size and geography, it was necessary to divide it into six precipitation blocks. The high precipitation rates resulted in high (18.22%) and moderate (30.93%) recharge zones across the basin. The analysis of stable isotopes in water indicates that precipitation water comes from the east, from the Amazon plain. In the valleys, precipitation enriched in δ18O suggests that it has undergone a recycling process in the basin; groundwater recharge comes from these precipitations. This analysis provides a simplified representation of reality that can assist in predicting the impacts of human activities on the basin.
The relationship between psychological distress and the nursing humanistic care demands in postoperative cancer inpatients: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Ma Fengyan , Zhu Yajing , Liu Yan , Liu Lu 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
Psychological distress is receiving increasing clinical attention among cancer patients suffering from symptomatic distress. Humanistic care can improve patients' unpleasant psychological state, and identifying patient-centered reported nursing humanistic care demands is the basis for implementing humanistic care measures. However, there is no clinical research on the relationship between psychological distress and nursing humanistic care demands in cancer surgery patients.
Abstract
We aimed to investigate cancer patients' experiences of psychological distress after surgery and the factors that influence it, and to analyse the relationship between this and the nursing humanistic care demands.
Methods
This study used a convenience sampling method to survey 432 cancer patients undergoing surgical treatment in the specialized cancer hospital in Beijing. The survey used socio-demographic information, the Distress Management Screening Measures, and the Nursing Humanistic Care Demands questionnaire. Questionnaire Star was used to collect data online. SPSS24.0 software was used to test the relationship between psychological distress and nursing humanistic care demands.
Results
The mean scores for psychological distress and nursing humanistic care demands were 3.95 ± 2.71 and 147.02 ± 19.88, respectively, and showed a moderately positive correlation. The main issues that caused psychological distress in patients were: worry, financial problems, surroundings, nervousness, sleep, and pain. Regression analysis showed that gender, financial burden, personality type, and need for humanistic care in nursing explained 24.5% of the total variance in the model and were independent predictors of psychological distress.
Conclusion
Cancer inpatients have significant psychological distress after surgery and exhibit high levels of nursing humanistic care demands. Nursing humanistic care demands positively predicted psychological distress. Nursing staff should pay attention to the psychological suffering of patients and develop individualized care measures to alleviate their psychological suffering by accurately identifying their nursing humanistic care demands.
Comparison of Long-term Survival Outcomes of Breast Cancer in Situ Patients After Breast-Conserving Surgery with and without Radiotherapy: A Seer-based Analysis
Authors: Zhang Aijie , Zhang Heng , Wei Tingting , Huang Hongbo , Li Yunhai , Li Fan 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background: Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) has become the most common surgical treatment for BCIS patients in the United States.Radiation therapy (RT) is recommended routinely after BCS in early stage breast cancer because it can the reduce the risk of local recurrence. However, whether radiotherapy can improve survival in BCIS remains controversial.We aimed to determine a subgroups of BCIS patients who can safely avoid RT after BCS to provide reliable evidence for clinical decision-making.
Methods: Based on the SEER database, 38,829 BCIS patients who were undergone BCS between 1998 and 2019 were collected and were divided into RT group and non-RT group. Cox regression and competing risk regression were employed to estimate multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for overall survival (OS) and breast cancer–specific survival (BCSS). Subgroup analysis was performed to fifind the subgroups of people who might benefit from RT.
Result: Of 38,829 eligible patients, 30,556 patients were matched. After adjustment for confounders, no statistically significant survival difference was observed between the RT group and non-RT group. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there were no significant OS (P=0.10), and BCSS (P=0.30) between RT groups and non-RT groups. After PSM, on multivariate cox regression analysis, RT did`t exert a significant influence on the OS (HR, 0.97; 95% CI [0.92, 1.03]，P=0.29) and BCSS (HR, 0.97; 95%CI [0.92, 1.03], P=0.38). Subgroup analysis results show that patients with DCIS (HR 0.92, CI [0.85, 0.99];P<0.05), poorly or worse differentiated histology(HR 0.90 , CI [0.83, 0.99];P<0.05) who received postoperative RT, achieved better OS. When the patients who tumor is larger than 5 cm (HR 0.15, CI[0.03, 0.81], P<0.05), receiving RT after BCS can obtain better BCSS.
Conclusion: Radiotherapy after BCS has no effect on OS or BCSS in BCIS, but radiotherapy is also recommended for people with BCIS with poorly differentiated tumor cells and BCIS tumors larger than 5 cm. Considering these potential side effects of radiotherapy, when recommending treatment for people with BCIS, we should deliberate the necessary for radiotherapy more carefully.
The analysis of continuous data from n-of-1 trials using paired cycles: a simple tutorial
Authors: Senn Stephen 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
N-of-1 trials are defined and the popular paired cycle design is introduced, together with an explanation as to how suitable sequences may be constructed.
Various approaches to analysing such trials are explained and illustrated using a simulated data set. It is explained how choosing an appropriate analysis depends on the question one wishes to answer. It is also shown that for a given question various equivalent approaches to analysis can be found, a fact which may be exploited to expand the possible software routines that may be used.
Sets of N-of-1 trials are analogous to sets of parallel group trials. This means that software for carrying out meta-analysis can be used to combine results from N-of-1 trials. In doing so, it is necessary to make one important change, however. Because degrees of freedom for estimating variances for individual subjects will be scarce, it is advisable to estimate local standard errors using pooled variances. How this may be done is explained and fixed and random effect approaches to combining results are illustrated.
Superfluid Polaritonic Qubit in an Annular Trap

Published: August 2023

Abstract
We report on the experimental realization and characterization of an exciton-polariton qubit prototype. In our system, a
Bose-Einstein condensate of semiconductor exciton-polaritons is confined by a spatially-patterned pump laser in an annular
trap that supports energy-degenerate circulating currents of the polariton superfluid. Using non-invasive temporal interference
measurements, we observe coherent oscillations between a pair of counter-circulating superfluid vortex states of the polaritons
coupled by elastic scattering off the laser-imprinted potential. The qubit basis states correspond to the symmetric and
antisymmetric superpositions of the two vortex states forming orthogonal double-lobe spatial wavefunctions. By engineering
the potential, we tune the coupling and coherent oscillations between the two circulating current states, control the energies of
the qubit basis states and thereby initialize the qubit in the desired state. The dynamics of the system is accurately reproduced by our theoretical two-state model, and we discuss potential avenues to achieve complete control over our polaritonic qubit and implement controllable interactions and quantum gates between such qubits.
An online belief rule base breast cancer diagnosis method with interpretability

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Early diagnosis of breast cancer is critical for effective treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has shown promise in assisting physicians with diagnosis. However, the combination of qualitative and quantitative information in surveillance data leads to ambiguity and uncertainty. Belief rule bases (BRB) can address these issues by incorporating confidence distributions. However, existing BRB models rely on offline training and lack adaptability to changes in patient metrics. In addition, the ethical implications of using BRB for breast cancer diagnosis require attention to the interpretability of the model. Therefore, this paper presents an online belief rule base breast cancer diagnosis method with interpretability. The method uses online learning to achieve dynamic growth. It also overcomes the problem of interpretability loss in the optimization process by implementing interpretability constraints. The proposed method achieves competitive accuracy and interpretability in breast cancer diagnosis, as demonstrated by experiments using a large dataset of breast cancer cases.
