Some Mechanical Properties of Arboblend V2
Authors: Văideanu Dorin , Petrescu Tudor-Cristian 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The Arboblend V2 biopolymer composite with a matrix based on lignin behaves like a synthetic thermo-injectable polymer, so its use in various sectors does not involve additional costs for obtaining various objects, landmarks using installations injection, extrusion being used in case of synthetic polymers: polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. Compared to plastics obtained from finite sources (oil, natural gas etc.) this material has several specific properties that make it a viable replacement of plastics: it is obtained from renewable raw materials, it is biodegradable in various conditions and, if reinforced with other substances (e.g. Kevlar 3%), becomes fireproof. Through the current paper, we determined the behavior of Arboblend V2 as a force of traction and a force shock. The results will lead to finding the best solutions for using Arboblend V2 and its specific properties that sets it apart from other materials.
Effects of work requirements for food assistance eligibility on disability claiming
Authors: Stith Sarah S. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Between 2010 and 2017, 42 U.S. states added work requirements as a food assistance eligibility criterion for Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs). Another U.S. public assistance program, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), provides food assistance without a work requirement, along with cash transfers and health insurance. Therefore, individuals for whom working is difficult may be induced to opt out of the labor force and into SSI in order to maintain access to food assistance. This study is the first to examine whether work requirements associated with food assistance eligibility lead to an increase in SSI applications and receipts. Based on difference-in-differences and event study analyses of comprehensive administrative claims data from the Social Security Administration and survey data from the Current Population Survey, this study finds evidence of lagged effects on SSI applications overall, and reduced Supplementary Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) receipts followed by a delayed smaller increase in SSI receipts among individuals with self-reported disabilities. While most SSI applications induced by SNAP-related work requirements appear to be unsuccessful, a small, vulnerable population may move out of the workforce and into SSI in response to the implementation of work requirements.

Abstract
Exploration onshore Niger Delta is moving into deeper HP/HT plays where pore pressure prediction is challenging due to secondary overpressure mechanisms and lack of data for calibration. Accurate pore pressure prediction is required to ensure safe and economic drilling campaign. This study aims at finding acceptable parameters and building models for predicting pore pressure where secondary overpressure mechanisms are observed in addition to undercompaction. Well logs and 3D seismic data were used to understand the evolution of pore pressure in the field. This was established from offset well data by making cross-plots of acoustic velocity versus density, temperature vs depth, geothermal gradient computation, computation of normal compaction trends, overburden gradients, shale pore pressure and fracture gradients. Then cube models were built for the field. Post-drilling pore pressure and fracture gradient estimation of eleven offset wells were done using Eaton's and Matthews & Kelly's methods respectively. Velocity analysis results from 3D seismic data were then used to predict 1D pore pressure models at six selected prospect locations. Analyses reveal depths shallower than 3800m TVD/MSL with geothermal gradient 3.0°C/100m and pressure gradient less than 1.50sg EMW are affected mainly by undercompaction and depths greater than 3800m TVD/MSL with geothermal gradient of 4.1°C/10m and pressure gradients reaching 1.82sg – 2.12sg EMW are affected by unloading. A general regression in pore pressure between 2000 – 3600m TVD/MSL interval were due to depletion by ongoing production from the developed reservoirs. The results of pore pressure modeling reveal a narrow drilling margin for the HP/HT prospect intervals.
Enhancing Slurry Pumping Efficiency, Improving Cement Coverage, and Ensuring Zonal Isolation with Temperature-Triggered Anti-Settling Technology

Published: February 2022

AbstractA stable cement slurry is critical to the success of a cementing job, from cement placement to long-term zonal isolation. Conventional anti-settling (AS) additives, such as clays and polysaccharides, are commonly applied to improve cement slurry stability, but they are only effective for low-to-mid temperature applications (up to 260°F) due to high temperature thermal thinning effects or thermal degradation. To compensate for such thermal thinning or thermal degradation effects, higher doses of AS additives are often applied, which inadvertently increase slurry placement difficulty with minimal improvement to slurry stability.This paper presents the performance of a novel, thermally activated, free-flowing, and easy-to-use temperature-triggered anti-settling (TTAS) agent that can help reduce the overall AS additive usage, prevent solids settling, and mitigate the formation of free fluid at 200-350°F or higher while having minimal effect on slurry rheology prior to activation.The performance of this novel TTAS agent was evaluated against conventional AS additives, including bentonite clay, diutan gum, and a commercial AS product in 16-lbm/gal and 18-lbm/gal Class H cement slurries. Static sedimentation (SS) and dynamic sedimentation (DS) tests revealed that the conventional AS agent-containing slurries exhibited mixability concerns, noticeable settling at downhole condition and gelation tendency. By contrast, the TTAS agent-containing slurries exhibited good mixability, no adverse effect on rheology at 80°F, and improved slurry stability, evidenced by less than ½ inch cone height and less than 1-lbm/gal differential density (Δρ) in dynamic sedimentation test using as low as 0.3% bwoc dosage.

Abstract
Chemicals for viscosity reduction play an important role in improving heavy oil production amongst other more commonly used technologies, such as crude oil heating by steam, and oil dilution with solvents. The viscosity reducer is able to dissolve in aqueous solutions, which makes it easy to handle and implement in wellbore lifting, huff-n-puff or well-to-well injection. In this work, eleven heavy oil viscosity reducers originally in emulsion form were investigated against a degassed conventional heavy oil with a viscosity of 246 mPa.s at 60°C. They were evaluated in terms of compatibility with high salinity water, interfacial tension, static adsorption onto carbonate core powders, viscosity reduction, micromodel displacement, and coreflooding displacement. The viscosity reducers present respectively either excellent or good compatibility with a high salinity brine of 57,760 mg/L total dissolved solids (TDS). The slight difference in compatibility did not affect wate/oil interfacial tension but affect significantly the static adsorption onto carbonates. Significant heavy oil viscosity reduction was observed when mixed with 2 wt% viscosity reducers at a water-cut of 30%. Among eleven viscosity reducers, one reduced the viscosity by 82%, three by 60% to 70%, four by 50% to 60%, and three by 25% to 50%. Micromodel displacement presented consistent trend in oil recovery, ranging between 10% and 50% beyond waterflooding. Coreflooding displacement showed that the selected viscosity reducer (HOVR10) in solution increased heavy oil production by 20.3%. Efficient viscosity reducers provide an economical way to improve heavy oil productoin. They would reduce the energy consumption in producing heavy oil from the subsurface formation to surface facilities. As such, the application of heavy oil viscosity reducer would not only improve well productivity but also reduce operational costs.

Abstract
The current manuscript describes the engineering approach on how demanding wells in a very challenging field have been delivered more efficiently and consistently than the norm with an increase on the footage per day KPI by more than 75%.
The subject field is one of the most challenging fields in the area with issues such as: top hole's losses with risk of cellar collapse; severe wellbore instability across 16-in. hole section with nearly 40% of offset wells facing stuck pipes; reactive shales across 12-1/4-in. hole section requiring enhanced drilling fluid design; losses across 8½-in. curve section, increasing the risk of not achieving zonal isolation after the 7-in. liner cementing job.
A holistic approach was developed to tackle the field specific challenges including deployment of fit-for-purpose technologies, improvement in drilling practices and a better management of the risks.
The wells delivered after the Implementation of this approach were drilled faster by up to 19 days when comparing with the previous drilling campaign, achieving ROP records in all the sections with significant improvement: 77% in 16-in.; 20% in 12-1/4-in.; 50% in 8-1/2-in.; and 60% in 6-1/8-in. The results can be taken as lesson learned when facing such challenges and be implemented in similar wells in Middle East and worldwide alike.
СОВРЕМЕННЫЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ ПЕРЕРАБОТКИ АЛЮМИНИЕВЫХ ШЛАКОВ НА ОСНОВЕ БЕССОЛЕВЫХ ЭКОЛОГИЧЕСКИ ОРИЕНТИРОВАННЫХ СПОСОБОВ

Published: February 2022

При плавке и разливке алюминиевых сплавов в результате взаимодействия с кислородной атмосферой образуется побочный металлизированный отход, называемый алюминиевым шлаком. В зависимости от технологии плавки данный продукт содержит от 20% до 80% чистого металла, диспергированного в окисной пленке. Производство первичного алюминия весьма энергоемко, ввиду этого, переработка низкосортного металлизированного сырья является экономически выгодной. Типичный процесс плавки алюминиевых ломов и шлаков с использованием солей щелочных и щелочноземельных металлов приводит к продуцированию токсичных солевых шлаков и вредных газов, что является растущей экологической проблемой для алюминиевой промышленности России и мира. За последние годы в мировом ученом сообществе был предложен ряд способов по бессолевой экологически ориентированной переработке металлизированных алюминиевых шлаков. Данные технологии рассмотрены в настоящей статье, а также по каждой технологии дана экспертная оценка по эффективности и перспективности ее применения.
During melting and casting aluminum alloys as a result of a partial interaction with the oxygen atmosphere, a secondary metallized waste is formed, it is called aluminum slag. Depending on the technology of melting, this product may contain from 20% to 80% of pure metal dispersed in an oxide fi lm. The production of primary aluminum is very energy intensive, and therefore, the processing of low-grade metallized raw materials is economically profi table. The typical process of smelting aluminum scrap and slag using salts of alkali and alkaline earth metals leads to the production of toxic salt slag and harmful gases, which is a growing environmental problem for Russian aluminum industry and for the world. In recent years, a number of methods have been proposed in the world scientifi c community for salt-free environmentally oriented processing of metallized aluminum slags. These technologies are considered in article, and an expert assessment is given for each technology on the effectiveness and prospects of its application.

Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT
The regulation of health care professionals in the United Kingdom (UK) falls under the authority of one of nine General Councils, each of which has a statutory duty to ensure the fitness to practice of a subdivision of these professionals. Among the matters that may call fitness to practice into question are deviations from published standards of behavior, which include the maintenance of appropriate sexual boundaries by practitioners. The aim of this article is to examine how the common fitness-to-practice process utilized by General Councils deals with registered health care professionals who have exceeded these boundaries.
Deductive thematic analysis was carried out on cases involving academic misconduct among registrants of the General Medical Council, General Dental Council, General Pharmaceutical Council, and Nursing and Midwifery Council, using themes derived from each council’s standards for registrants and guidance for disciplinary panel members.
While each of these four cases involved some form of sexually motivated misconduct, the facts in each case were significantly different; however, not only was the outcome the same, but the rationale was similar in each instance. While the protection of the health, safety and well-being of the public may be considered in cases involving sexual misconduct, the need to maintain public and professional confidence in their respective professions is sufficient grounds alone to end the careers of health professionals who engage in sexual misconduct.
Developing a Formula to Estimate Precipitation at Ungauged Location and Analysis of Rainfall Pattern: Case Study for Rastra Bank Chowk, Pokhara, Nepal
Authors: Basnet Keshav , Poudel Kabita 
Published: February 2022

Pokhara receives the second highest amount of rainfall in the country, according to Department of Hydrology and Meteorology. The rainfall distribution within this small region is random. The precipitation in Pokhara is measured from limited rain gauge stations. For understanding the spatial variation, it is necessary to access the daily rainfall data at the gauged as well as ungauged stations. In view of this problem, this study is aimed at developing the formula to estimate the rainfall value at an ungauged station, Rastrabank Chowk Pokhara using the calibration and validation method. For this purpose, the daily rainfall data of the sample station was measured using standard rain gauge for a period of four months from May 13, 2020 to September 15, 2020. The analysis of the spatial distribution and variation of daily rainfall at meteorological stations as well as sample station was done to select the data for the development of the formula. Calibration and validation of formula was performed for equal period using the statistical indices NSE, R2 and PBIAS. Calibration was performed using rainfall data of available meteorological stations of Pokhara in the first two consecutive months. From the numerous hit and trial procedures, the equation developed with rainfall data of Airport and Malepatan stations comprising of three constant values were obtained with the highest NSE and R2. PBIAS value was then calculated for maximum NSE and R2. In the next phase, validation of the equation for other two months (14 July- 15 September,2020) was performed to obtain maximum possible value of NSE and R2 and a smaller value of PBIAS. The equation was obtained with 0.980 NSE, 0.980 R2 and 6.437 % PBIAS value which indicated good agreement between observed and predicted rainfall value. Spatial rainfall pattern analysis using SURFER model demonstrated that there was a homogenous distribution of rainfall in Malepatan, Airport and sample stations. The temporal trend showed that the month July of 2020 had a higher amount of precipitation at Pokhara valley. From the HYSPLIT model, it was observed that the rainfall events in Pokhara valley was due to westerlies dominance. This study would provide the rainfall estimation techniques and hence would significantly contribute to meteorological investigations and water resource planning.

Published: February 2022

Background: Closed-loop neuromodulation systems have received increased attention in recent years as potential therapeutic approaches for treating neurological injury and disease. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS), triggered by action potentials (spikes) recorded in motor cortex, to alter synaptic efficacy in descending motor pathways in an anesthetized rat model of spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Experiments were carried out in adult, male, Sprague Dawley rats with a moderate contusion injury at T8. For activity-dependent stimulation (ADS) sessions, a recording microelectrode was used to detect neuronal spikes in motor cortex that triggered ISMS in the spinal cord grey matter. SCI rats were randomly assigned to one of four experimental groups differing by: a) cortical spike-ISMS stimulus delay (10 or 25 ms) and b) number of ISMS pulses (1 or 3). Four weeks after SCI, ADS sessions were conducted in three consecutive 1-hour conditioning bouts for a total of 3 hours. At the end of each conditioning bout, changes in synaptic efficacy were assessed using intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) to examine the number of spikes evoked in spinal cord neurons during 5-minute test bouts. A multichannel microelectrode recording array was used to record cortically-evoked spike activity from multiple layers of the spinal cord. Results: The results showed that ADS resulted in an increase in cortically-evoked spikes in spinal cord neurons at specific combinations of spike-ISMS delays and numbers of pulses. Efficacy in descending motor pathways was increased throughout all dorsoventral depths of the hindlimb spinal cord. Conclusions: These results show that after an SCI, ADS can increase synaptic efficacy in spared pathways between motor cortex and spinal cord. This study provides further support for the potential of ADS therapy as an effective method for enhancing descending motor control after SCI.
