Computational uncertainity quantification in pressure-driven fracture processes
Authors:   , Garikapati Hasini 
Published: July 2023

Uncertainty quantification is important in assessing and predicting the performance of complex
engineering systems and processes, especially in the absence of adequate experimental or real-world
data. With the increase in computing power, computational uncertainty quantification is playing an
increasingly important role in decision making processes. We have studied the application of
uncertainty quantification to pressure-driven fracture processes, which are surrounded by uncertainty
as data are typically scant and available models are often rudimentary.

In this dissertation we have developed a computational framework that combines simulation
techniques for pressure-driven fracturing processes with state-of-the-art uncertainty quantification
techniques. On the one hand, the framework simulates the influence of uncertainties in, for example,
formation data, on quantities of interest such as the fracture length. On the other hand, the uncertainty
quantification framework allows us to incorporate indirect measurement data, such as well pressures,
in the simulation procedure. The developed computational uncertainty quantification framework
improves the understanding of the influence of uncertainties on pressure-driven fracture processes.

In Nigeria, rice remains a major staple food source for the rapidly growing population of an estimated 210 million people. However, traditional rice production carried out in flooded soil is associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, mainly anthropogenic methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in Nigeria. Both CH4 and N2O are harmful GHGs that raise the temperature of the planet by retaining heat in the atmosphere. Reduction of GHG emissions is critical, and understanding farmers' knowledge of GHG emission mitigation strategies would be crucial to reducing emissions from rice fields and producing rice in a cleaner environment. Incidentally, there is a dearth of empirical evidence in the current debate. The absence of this study creates a gap in research and makes it extremely pertinent that the study be systematically undertaken. Our study described the socio-economic characteristics of the rice farmers and ascertained their knowledge level on GHG mitigation strategies. We utilized questionnaire and focused group discussion (FGD) as the primary methods of data collection. Descriptive statistics and mean score analysis were used to analyze the data collected. On average, we found that the rice farmers were 45 years old. Most (72%) were male. Only 31% of the farmers had contacted extension agents and were visited twice per calendar year. We found that among various GHG emission mitigation strategies identified in the area, the farmers had significant knowledge of the use of Aerobic Rice Varieties (ARV) (x̄ = 3.61; σ = 0.87) but low knowledge of the use of Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) (x̄ = 1.88; σ = 0.45). Our findings confirmed the incidence of GHG emissions in rice fields and that farmers have started practicing GHG mitigation strategies to reduce emissions from rice in the area. However, among various constraints, our study observed that inadequate technical know-how is negatively challenging rice farmers’ capacity to implement and scale-up GHG emissions mitigation strategies. Therefore, our study recommends that the government should strengthen and support agricultural extension service systems to enable them to visit farmers’ farms regularly to transmit and build farmers capacity in the use of recent GHG emission mitigation strategies and innovations in rice fields.

Abstract
In this study, fresh wolfberry in the current season was used as the experimental material and a radio frequency (RF)-hot air combined segmented drying process was adopted for berry preservation. Ultrasonic treatment, hot water blanching, sucrose infiltration, ultrasonic & blanching, ultrasonic & infiltration, and NaOH and NaCl solution impregnation were used for pre-treatment of combined drying. Taking natural drying and conventional Na2CO3 dewaxing treatment as the control group, the effects of different pretreatment methods on drying characteristics, quality, and microstructure of wolfberry during combined drying were investigated. The drying time after ultrasonic and blanching pretreatment was the shortest(13.5h), which effectively retained total flavonoids(1.79mg/g) and enhanced their antioxidant activity(I = 60.78%). NaCl impregnation treatment significantly increased the total phenol content(8.77 mg/g). The retention rate of soluble sugar (0.73 g/g), ascorbic acid (3.96mg/100g), betaine(2.72%), and other nutrients increased significantly after ultrasonic and infiltration treatment, while the color, rehydration rate and microstructure were better than other treatment methods. The Weibull distribution function can accurately describe the RF-hot air combined drying process of Lycium barbarum after different pretreatment, and simulated results were consistent with the results of the combined drying characteristic curve of Lycium barbarum. The aim of this study was explored suitable pretreatment methods to improve the drying rate and ensure the quality of dried products of wolfberry.

Aim:
To assess the score of dental caries (hereinafter referred to as Carries) and status of dental hygiene practices in school-going children aged 3-15 years with specific diagnosis and timely referral for the required treatment, according to each participant's oral health condition.
Materials & Methods:
This study was performed on school-going children of ages 3 to 15 years in Abbottabad City, via a cross-sectional survey method. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used. Data were collected during the ‘Dental Awareness Programme’ from different schools in Abbottabad. Total n=634 were screened and caries score of DMFT/dmft index and orthodontic treatment need were observed and recorded. Also, questions about oral hygiene practices were asked like frequencies of tooth brushing & sugary diet intake from school children and a written record was maintained on structured survey form. Gathered data was import in IBM-SPSS file version 21. Descriptive statistics were used to verify the standard deviation and arithmetic mean of all variables and the comparison between variables like, Caries score; intake of sugary diet daily, age & different school were made and presented in tables & figures.
Results:
This research study shows high number of Caries cases 69.4% (Mean= 2.76, SD= 2.738, n= 634). A higher score was observed and recorded for the D-component in the total DMFT score; however habit of daily tooth brushing and maximum intake of sugary diet were found common among all the school-going children.
Conclusion:
A high number of caries-affected cases were found, in this study, among school-going children and that is a critical oral health state. Children themselves are negligent towards their needs for good oral health and necessary professional care. Increased DMFT scores of ‘mostly decayed’ and ‘less filled’ teeth were founded. It was recorded that tooth brushing by children is not correctly performed, mechanically. Also, children were found to eat a sugary diet daily. The value of a “preventive approach” can lead to the good oral hygiene of children.
