Interaction between Basaltic Melt and Coal Xenoliths in the Trap Intrusion of Mt. Ozernaya (Siberian Platform)
Authors: Ryabov V.V. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
—Coal fragments in basaltic melt were subjected to degassing, graphitization, and disintegration. As a result, the partial pressure of hydrocarbon (HC) fluids near xenoliths of graphitized coal in the melt increased, which provoked the sialic–mafic segregation of the basaltic melt, the formation of anorthosite–hortonolite association, and the separation of bitumens and ore mineral phases. The fluid-magmatic differentiation of the melt and the formation of ore phases were caused mostly by the reducing properties of HC fluids, their high affinity for metals, and their unique collective capability to adsorb microimpurities from the melt and rocks during migration and to form anomalous mineral and geochemical clusters at geochemical barriers. The diversity of ore mineral phases is due to the extraction of trace elements Fe, As, Ge, Sb, Sn, and S from coal and of Fe, Mg, Cu, Ni, Co, Pt, Pd, Rh, Au, and Ag microimpurities from the basaltic melt.

Abstract
For decades standard V-belt transmission with an asynchronous motor has been a traditional method to drive beam pumping units. This study describes a new approach based on the use of a Permanent Magnet Motor with no transmission.
Non-transmission drive integrates a permanent magnet motor (PMM) and smart variable frequency drive. Since rotor is mounted directly on the gearbox input shaft, with stator being mechanically attached to the gearbox housing, the technology eliminates the need for conventional V-belt transmission between the motor and the gearbox. Variable Speed Drive (VSD) can provide a more advanced control for the permanent magnet motor, embedding mathematical models with a number of options for motor speed and rod load control, operation monitoring, failure risk mitigation, and production optimization.
Application results revealed unique features of the system, that cannot be reached with a standard application. Elimination of V-belt transmission allows for safe and environmentally friendly operation with enhanced reliability and reduced non-productive time as no maintenance is required. High-efficient PM Motor (with no losses in the transmission) improves power consumption and practically demonstrate total power savings of 15-35 % if compared to the previously installed systems. The PMM system is easy to install, with installation time being less than 1 hour.
PM Motor principles of operation provide a number of options for its control through smart VSD algorithms requiring no additional sensors. Real-time up-stroke / down-stroke speed adjustment, torque control, operating trips detection and many other features can potentially improve production and expected runlife of downhole and surface equipment.
The results of this study are intended to demonstrate an effective and efficient alternative for oil production with Sucker-Rod Pumps (SRP). Application of the new type of surface drive has proved its high potential for production optimization and power consumption improvement with minimized risk of failures.

Abstract
This paper presents the results obtained in an extensive Gas Lift Valves (GLVs)flow trials, which were performed in an experimental liquid flow test loop. The objective was to evaluate GLVs performance with respect to their back flow retention condition, after being exposed to large volumes of flowing liquids. In case of a check valve failure, remediation strategies were also presented and evaluated.
Four different GLVs were subjected to brine flow. The tests consisted of a minimum of 15 flow cycles comprising a volume of 150 m3 (942 bbl) each, at a flowrate of 0.32 m3/min (2 bbl/min). In between cycles, the GLV was tested for back flow. The check valve test was performed with the GLV installed in its original position at the flow test loop (i.e., no need to disassemble the GLV and move it to another facility). In case of back flow failure detection, remediation strategies, such as flushing with industrial water and cycles of pressurization and depressurization, were tested.
None of the four GLVs tested completed the minimum of 15 cycles without any failure. After flushing the system with industrial water, three GLVs regained its back flow retention capabilities and the other still presented the back flow failure. In some cases, the check valve presented failure when tested inside the flow loop, but did not present the same failure when moved to the Nitrogen/calibration test bench. This event has indicated the importance of testing the back flow retention inside the flow test loop. It was also observed that pressurization and de-pressurization speed can affect the results.
Testing of liquid flow through GLVs usually involves a small volume of liquid, which may not be enough to cause problems with the check valve. In this paper we present new tests results with larger liquid volumes of liquid passing through the GLVs. The results are important to understand the condition of GLVs to handle higher flow liquid volumes.
Gas Pump – A Gas-Driven Positive Displacement Pump Artificial Lift System
Authors: Turk Stephen W. , Juenke Michael S. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Many resource play (shale) reservoirs have been drilled with highly tortuous wells. These wells are difficult to produce in their late life when production rates and pressures decline to the point where positive displacement pumping becomes necessary. Reciprocating rod pump (RRP) systems are expensive to install and operate in these conditions. RRPs’ inherent issues with friction and wear and tear on equipment are exacerbated in these kinds of crooked wells.
Gas Pump (GP) is a newly invented artificial lift system that provides the benefits of positive displacement pumping for these kinds of wells without the inherent installation costs and failure risks associated with RRP. GP uses high pressure natural gas to blow liquids out of a bottom hole accumulator chamber into the tubing (like RRP) all while isolating the reservoir from the backpressure of the column of liquid standing in the tubing, thereby enabling maximum reservoir pressure drawdown.
This paper will describe the theory behind GP's technical design and mechanical application, relay the practical equipment design and testing processes used to progress the system from concept to prototype, and conclude with GP's prototype performance assessment.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
ObjectivePassive leg raise (PLR) can be used as a reversible preload challenge to stratify patients according to preload response. We aim to evaluate the accuracy of PLR, monitored by a non-invasive cardiac output monitor in predicting to response to fluid resuscitation in emergency department (ED) MethodsWe recruited adult patients planned to receive a resuscitation fluid bolus. Patients were monitored using a thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) cardiac output monitor (Niccomo, Medis, Germany). A 3-minute PLR was carried out before and after fluid infusion. Stroke volume changes (ΔSV) were calculated and a positive response was defined as ≥15% increase.ResultsWe recruited 39 patients, of which 37 were included into the analysis. The median age was 63 (50-77) years and 19 patients were females. 17 patients (46%) were fluid responders compared to 11 (30%) with positive response to PLR1. ΔSV with PLR1 and fluid bolus showed moderate correlation (r = 0.47, 95% confidence interval, CI 0.17-0.69) and 62% concordance rate. For the prediction of the response to a fluid bolus the PLR test had a sensitivity of 41% (95% CI 22-64) and specificity of 80% (95% CI 58-92) with an area under the curve of 0.59 (95% CI 0.41-0.78). None of the standard parameters showed a better predictive ability compared to PLR.ConclusionUsing TEB, ΔSV with PLR showed a moderate correlation with fluid bolus, with a limited accuracy to predict fluid responsiveness. The PLR test was a better predictor of fluid responsiveness than the parameters commonly used in emergency care (such as heart rate and blood pressure). These data suggest the potential for a clinical trial in sepsis comparing TEB monitored, PLR directed fluid management with standard care.

Abstract
Introduction: One of the challenges in medical education is to effectively assess basic science knowledge retention. National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) clerkship subject exam performance is reflective of the basic science knowledge accrued during preclinical education. The goal of this study was to determine if measurement of retention of basic science knowledge in the clerkship NBME subject exam can guide specific preclinical curricular changes to address the deficiencies identified. Methods: We acquired a customized NBME item analysis report of our institution’s pediatric clerkship subject exams from the academic year 2018-2019 and developed a question-by-content Q-matrix by identifying skills necessary to master content. As a pilot study, students’ content mastery in 14 major basic science content areas using a CDA model called DINA (deterministic input, noisy “and” gate) was analyzed. Results: The results allowed us to identify strong and weak basic science content areas for students in the pediatric clerkship. For example: “Reproductive systems” and “Skin and subcutaneous tissue” showed a student mastery of 83.8±2.2% and 60.7±3.2% respectively.Conclusions: Cumulative data from all the clerkships will make it possible to narrow down consistent areas of strengths and weaknesses in the undergraduate curriculum. This can guide continuous quality improvement in the medical school curriculum.
Chicken swarm optimization with an enhanced exploration-exploitation tradeoff and its application

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The chicken swarm optimization (CSO) is a novel swarm intelligence algorithm, which mimics the hierarchal order and foraging behavior in the chicken swarm. However, like other population-based algorithms, CSO also suffers from slow convergence and easily falls into local optima, which partly results from the unbalance between exploration and exploitation. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a chicken swarm optimization with an enhanced exploration-exploitation tradeoff (CSO-EET). To be specific, the search process in CSO-EET is divided into two stages (i.e., exploration and exploitation) according to the swarm diversity. In the exploratory search process, a random solution is employed to find promising solutions. In the exploitative search process, the best solution is used to accelerate convergence. Guided by the swarm diversity, CSO-EET alternates between exploration and exploitation. To evaluate the optimization performance of CSO-EET in both theoretical and practical problems, it is compared with other improved CSO variants and several state-of-the-art algorithms on twenty-two benchmark functions and two real-world problems (i.e., circle packing problem and survival risk prediction of esophageal cancer). The experimental results show that CSO-EET is better than or at least com-parable to all competitors in most cases.

Authors: . SHILPI , Kumar Arvind 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
A node localization algorithm using the Jaya algorithm (JA) and range-free method of reliable anchor pair (RAP) selection approach is proposed to determine the position of target nodes or unknown devices in isotropic, O-shaped, and S-shaped anisotropic wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The reliable anchor selection method separates anchor nodes into prime anchor node pairs, subprime anchor node pairs, and unreachable anchor node pairs to determine the distance between anchor node pairs and target nodes. The nature-inspired Jaya algorithm is used to predict the position of the target node. The presented work is compared with the existing localization methods, including DV(Distance Vector)maxHop, PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization), and QSSA (Quantized Salp Swarm Algorithm) based localization algorithms. The proposed approach increases localization accuracy regarding the number of anchor nodes and node density. The proposed algorithm also looks at how the degree of irregularity and computation time affect the performance.
