description:   
Due to the global increase in crude oil and gas consumption, the drilling of deeper high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) wells has been carried out extensively in recent years. The drilling of these wells is challenging due to the lack of reliable measurement and the deterioration of drilling fluid under HPHT conditions. The present study aims to develop an accurate shear rate model for the time-independent high yield stress drilling fluids using the Fann 35 viscometer readings. The true yield stress, an input parameter for the proposed shear rate equation, is also determined accurately with the proposed two-capillary method, based on capillary rise dynamics. The shear rates obtained using the proposed model are compared with the conventional shear rate model and are used to predict the model parameters of power-law, Herschel-Bulkley, and Robertson-Stiff rheological models. The accuracy of the model parameter prediction obtained in the present study and conventional shear rate is judged by validating the experimentally obtained pressure loss data. The mean square error in pressure drop is found to be minimum, indicating the efficacy of the proposed shear rate model. Two drilling fluids based on polyanionic cellulose grafted copolymer involving bentonite and functionalized fly ash (poly-ben and poly-fnFA) have also been formulated to obtain the desired thermal rheological, filtration, and lubrication behavior under HPHT conditions. The proposed shear rate model has been evaluated using the developed HPHT drilling fluids and has been used to predict pressure drop under surface downhole conditions. The pressure- and temperature-dependent shear viscosity of drilling fluids have been determined at HPHT conditions using the fundamental principle of momentum transport. Input parameters for the HPHT shear viscosity model are (i) thermal decomposition temperature, (ii) isothermal compressibility, and (iii) reference shear viscosity of drilling fluid at the surface conditions. Similarly, a pressure- and temperature-dependent density model has also been presented to estimate density at HPHT conditions. The viscosity and density model has also been experimentally validated and adequately predicts properties at downhole conditions. The above viscosity and density models have been used to predict pressure drop under downhole conditions at laminar and turbulent flow regimes.

title: Modeling and Optimization of Performance and Reliability of Distributed Autonomic Systems
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: Distributed systems have been a very important topic in the field of computer science due to the great benefits they bring, such as scalability, resource sharing, and ease of collaboration. Distributed systems will continue to be very important because they are the foundation of many advanced technologies such as grid computing, web-services, and cloud computing. Despite their benefits, distributed systems do not necessarily guarantee reliability, fast response time, or security. On the contrary, modern distributed systems involve heterogeneous resources and dynamic architectures, which can introduce failures due to dependencies between parts of the system or due to network disruptions. These fragilities spurred research on mechanisms to overcome them. Moreover, the ever-growing complexity of modern systems required the evolution of self-managing systems (aka autonomic systems) that are able to determine the optimal or near-optimal configuration of a dynamically changing system in the face of varying environmental conditions. This dissertation proposes analytic models for well-known reliability and fault-tolerant techniques, such as checkpointing and job replication, to improve performance and reliability in distributed systems. The models developed here can be used by autonomic managers in self-healing and self-optimizing systems as presented here.

description: This study presents an innovative approach using qualitative methods to involve undergraduate medical students and faculty in the formative evaluation process. Inspired by peer observation concepts, our method aims to establish trust and enhance participation in feedback processes. Historically, gathering student feedback has been challenging, often perceived as an additional burden with unclear outcomes. Faculty, too, may feel uncertain about their role in feedback collection and getting enough response rates. Our paper outlines a structured and practical framework to engage students and faculty in evaluation, emphasizing the importance of their voices and contributions.

Database for Fake News – What’s the Harm?
Creators: name: Cunliffe-Jones, Peter
Publisher: name: University of Westminster

description: The findings set out in “Fake News – What’s the harm?” are based on close examination over four years of a set of 250 examples of false and misleading information listed in the database described here, according to criteria set out in the database guidelines shown here.
The database provides information in 30 main categories on 250 examples of false and misleading information. The guidelines set out both the theory and summaries of evidence used in coming to the findings set out in three sections: 
(i) criteria and evidence used to identify the type of mis/disinformation (from the way in which the claim was ‘wrong’– to the format in which it spread); 
(ii) criteria and evidence used to identify the origins, channels or settings and drivers of the false information; and
(iii) criteria and evidence used to identify the nature of its effects or potential effects or consequences and the factors that shaped this. 
I have, of course, sought to be as consistent as possible in making these judgements on the nature of the information, the origins and drivers of its spread, and its consequences or potential for consequences. I have done this taking account of information set out in the fact-checks that are used as the primary source material. Any errors in consistency are my responsibility and mine alone. Such errors notwithstanding, I hope that this database and the guidelines can be a valuable resource for those interested in understanding the findings set out in the book.

description: 4. Kashmir Musk-deer Moschus cupreus French: Porte-musc du Cachemire / German: Kaschmir-Moschustier / Spanish: Ciervo almizclero de Cachemira Taxonomy. Moschus cupreus Grubb, 1982, Kashmir. Initially considered to be a subspecies of the Alpine Musk-deer M. chrysogaster. Monotypic. Distribution. Afghanistan (Nuristan Province) and Kashmir (NE Pakistan and NW India). Descriptive notes. Head—body 85-100 cm, tail 4-6 cm; weight 12-17 kg. Skull length is 15-15. 5 cm. Gray brown, often vaguely spotted, with a conspicuous coppery reddish unspeckled dorsal “saddle”; rump very dark gray; underside light gray; throat white; lower segments of limbs whitish. Ears dark brown, white at base, with frosted rims. Hairs with long white bases; 33-38 mm long on withers, 37-58 mm on rump. As in Himalayan and Alpine Musk-deer, the lachrymal is longer than it is high. Habitat. Musk-deer of what is probably this species live in conifer and oak forests at 1500-3000 m in Nuristan, Afghanistan. In Pakistan, they are known from subalpine shrub between 3000 m and 4000 m in Gilgit-Baltistan; in Dachigam National Park and elsewhere in Kashmir, it lives between 2710 m and 3110 m, and in Pir Panjal Range somewhat lower, between 2530 m and 2650 m. Food and Feeding. Nothing is known about the way oflife ofthis species, but it is not likely to differ greatly from that of M. leucogaster and relatives. Breeding. Nothing known. Activity patterns. No data available, but probably like related species, which tend to stay in more dense cover during the day, and use more open areas at night when they are more active. Movements, Home range and Social organization. Nothing known, but probably similar to M. leucogaster. Status and Conservation. CITES Appendix I. Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List. Conservation measures are uncertain for this species given its limited range. The value of the musk suggests that conservation will require effective anti-poaching activity. It may occur in some protected areas in India and Pakistan. The Government of Afghanistan has listed M. cupreus on their Protected Species List, banning all hunting and trading ofthis species in that country. Bibliography. Groves et al. (1995), Grubb (1982).

description: The use of science in policy-making has declined dramatically around the world. One of the most obvious examples of scientific neglect is the refusal of many U.S. politicians to accept anthropogenic climate change despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary. While over 97% of scientists recognize the global threat posed by human climate forcing (Oreskes, 2004a; Doran and Zimmerman, 2009; Anderegg et al., 2010; Cook et al., 2013), 72% of Republican Senators in 2014 were climate change deniers (Schulman, 2015). Senator Jim Inhofe, the chair of the US Congressional Environment and Public Works Committee is an infamous climate change denier who even published a book called “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future” (Inhofe, 2012). Such science contrarians among politicians are not uncommon, but when directly confronted on the issue two notable climate change deniers completely sidestepped it, stating “I'm not a scientist” (Senator Mitch McConnell) and “I'm not qualified to debate the science over climate change” (past House Speaker John A. Boehner; Davenport, 2014). Another problem is the treatment of information provided by the best available science as “just another opinion” at the table, to be negotiated and compromised (e.g., Schneider, 2009; Wright, 2010). Here, we seek to shine a global spotlight on the alarming disregard for science in policy decisions affecting biodiversity conservation, mainly of relevance to marine scientists. We also suggest ways for scientific societies to speak out professionally in defense of conservation science.

description: In the decades following the end of the Cold War, religion has replaced political inequality, exclusion and disaffection as the rallying cry of terrorists throughout the world. In examining the rise of international religious terrorism and its roots in political aspirations, this paper explores methods of combating terrorism as it has developed in the 21st century. In three parts this paper examines the potential for resolving conflicts mired in religious terrorism: first, reviewing the causes and motivation of terrorism; second, the rise of religious terrorism and the function of religion in modern terrorism; finally, a review of the process of negotiation with terrorists as a method to combat terrorism. In examining the rise of international religious terrorism, essential differences between ethno-national/political terrorism and religious terrorism emerge. Also examined will be the process of imbuing political motivations and aspirations with religious rhetoric to create a holy war. These defining aspects of terrorist organizations alter the practical and available methods for resolving the conflict. Answering the question how States negotiate with terrorists, the paper examines whether past successful negotiations with nonidealistic, ethno-nationalist terrorist organizations can or cannot be adapted to combat terrorist organizations with nihilistic and otherworldly aspirations. Within this context the current engagement of the Taliban in Afghanistan will be examined as a case study of applying terrorist negotiation strategies to religiously based terrorism. The methods of the current military campaign in Afghanistan as well as wider approaches to conflict resolution are also examined. Critical to this research is the perspective of analyzing strategies of engaging with religious terrorism within the context of examining the prospects of resolving the conflict in which terrorists are embattled, not solely methods to combat terrorism. Through exploring these aspects of religious terrorism this paper addresses the research questions: how possible are resolutions to conflicts involving international religious terrorists; what are the techniques available for resolving those conflicts; what techniques are, or should be, currently employed in combating international religious terrorism?

Hierarchical Star Formation Across Galactic Disks

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Discs in galaxies

description: Most stars form in clusters. This fact has emerged from the finding that "embedded clusters account for the 70 - 90% fraction of all stars formed in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs)." While this is the case at scales of few 10 parsecs, typical for GMCs, a look at star-forming galaxies in the Local Group (LG) shows significant populations of enormous loose complexes of early-type stars extending at scales from few 100 to few 1000 parsecs. The fact that these stellar complexes host extremely large numbers of loosely distributed massive blue stars implies either that stars form also in an unbound fashion or they are immediately dislocated from their original compact birthplaces or both. The Legacy Extra-Galactic UV Survey (LEGUS) has produced remarkable collections of resolved early-type stars in 50 star-forming LG galaxies, suited for testing ideas about recent star formation. I will present results from our ongoing project on star formation across LEGUS disk galaxies. We characterize the global clustering behavior of the massive young stars in order to understand the morphology of star formation over galactic scales. This morphology appears to be self-similar with fractal dimensions comparable to those of the molecular interstellar medium, apparently driven by large-scale turbulence. Our clustering analysis reveals compact stellar systems nested in larger looser concentrations, which themselves are the dense parts of unbound complexes and super-structures, giving evidence of hierarchical star formation up to galactic scales. We investigate the structural and star formation parameters demographics of the star-forming complexes revealed at various levels of compactness. I will discuss the outcome of our correlation and regression analyses on these parameters in an attempt to understand the link between galactic disk dynamics and morphological structure in spiral and ring galaxies of the local universe.

description: To explore how the parents of children with atopic dermatitis and allergic diseases such as food allergy, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and asthma experience interactions with the Danish healthcare system over time. A qualitative design with individual in-depth interviews. The analysis was inspired by Systematic Text Condensation. Eleven parents of children with atopic dermatitis and allergic diseases who received treatment at hospitals in the Capital Region of Denmark. The families had experiences of cross-sectoral patient care. Despite having the same diseases, the children’s care pathways were very different. Mapping demonstrated the intricacy of care pathways for this group of children. We identified three aspects that impacted interaction with healthcare: responsibility, tasks, and roles. The families experienced care when the distribution of tasks and responsibilities associated with treatment and system navigation were consistent with both their expectations and their actual experiences. At the same time, families frequently experienced limited collaboration between healthcare professionals resulting in perceived fragmented care and an extended role for parents as care coordinators. Families felt cared for when healthcare professionals knew both their biomedical and biographical circumstances, and adjusted the level of support and care in accordance with the families’ particular needs, expectations, and evolving competences. We suggest that a possible pathway to improve care may be through a partnership approach as part of family-centered care, with general practitioners having a key role in helping to articulate the individual needs and expectations of each family.

description: 6. Anhui Musk-deer Moschus anhuiensis French: Porte-musc d'Anhui / German: Anhui-Moschustier / Spanish: Ciervo almizclero de Anhui Taxonomy. Moschus anhuiensis Wang, Hu & Yan, 1982, Changling region (31° 10’ N, 115° 53’ E, altitude 500 m), Jinzhai county, Anhui province, China. First proposed as a subspecies of M. moschiferus, this taxon was first transferred to M. berezouskii, then given species rank. Skulls of this species are metrically unlike those of any other, and cytochrome b has consistent differences from other species, and it is probably the sister species to all others except for M. moschiferus. Monotypic. Distribution. Appears to be restricted to SW Anhui. Descriptive notes. Head—body 69.6-76. 5 cm, tail 2-4 cm, shoulder height less than 50 cm, hip height less than 60 cm; weight 7.1-9. 7 kg. A small species; skull length is 14.1-14. 9 cm, with a mean of 14-38 cm. Gray-brown in color, with dense but not well-marked pale spots on the body. A neck-stripe is present. Lachrymal length is shorter than its height. Ears are darker than body. Hairs long, 38 mm on withers, 54 mm on rump. Habitat. Little is known of the typical habitat ofthis species, except that it is found in forested regions at low elevations, below 500 m. Food and Feeding. Very little is known ofits way oflife and there are no data on food habits. Breeding. Females reach sexual maturity quickly, and are able to breed in their first year. This species is more likely to have twins than singletons. Activity patterns. No data available, but probably like related species, which tend to be more active nocturnally. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information available, but likely similar to the Forest Musk-deer. Status and Conservation. CITES Appendix II. Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List. Population estimates are on the order of only 700 to 800 individuals living in the wild. The distribution of the species is very limited, likely only a little over 5000 km?. This speciesis classified as Endangered in the Chinese Red List and on the First Category of State Key Protected Wildlife List in China. Protection of habitatis needed, as well as better enforcement of hunting regulations. It is not known to occur in any protected areas. There is a clear need to determine the population size, natural history, and the extent of threats to the species. Bibliography. Groves & Feng Zuojian (1986), Su Bing et al. (2001), Wang Qishan etal.

description: Increases in opioid prescriptions have been described; however, recent trends and prescribing patterns of analgesics in Dutch general practice are largely unknown. To investigate recent changes in the number of analgesic prescriptions, and the indications for prescribing strong opioids. Furthermore, we aim to identify risk factors for chronic opioid use in Dutch general practice. A retrospective cohort study from 1 July 2013 to 31 June 2022, using a primary care practice based research network. Patients with ≥1 prescription for analgesics during the study period were included. Changes in the number of prescriptions for paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids in Dutch general practice during the 9-year study period. Moreover, we analyzed indications for prescribing strong opioids by the general practitioner (GP). A total of 18,433 analgesic users were identified. Over time, prescriptions for paracetamol, NSAIDs and weak opioids decreased, while the number of strong opioid prescriptions increased. General practitioners prescribed more strong opioids for non-malignant pain, whereas prescriptions for malignant pain remained stable over time. Risk factors for chronic opioid use (≥90 days) included older age, lower educational level, smoking status and having a history of a musculoskeletal or psychological disorder, a malignancy or sexual, physical or psychological abuse. Considering the increase in strong opioid prescriptions for benign conditions, GPs need to be vigilant for patients who are at risk for chronic use. Regular monitoring and awareness for psychosocial factors in treatment of chronic pain may be key in preventing harms associated with persistent opioid use.

title: Poverty, Basic Needs, and Political Violence: Insights into the Social Context of Terrorism from Pakistan's Northwestern Tribal Areas
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: This dissertation uses the theoretical framework of basic needs to operationalize the concept of poverty and investigates whether it was a factor in motivating support for terrorist groups in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal areas. The dissertation relies on secondary survey data to build a Bayesian network model that depicts the social context of the region and supplements insights from the model with logistic regression. The results indicate that support for terrorist groups in the tribal belt was mainly fueled by variables such as ideology and the effectiveness of the groups’ justice system. Contrary to conventional wisdom, deprivation in at least two components of basic needs, physiological and safety, depressed rather than encourage the trend. The dissertation explains the findings by using a systems theoretic perspective that allows analyzing human motivations within layers of external environment including the micro-system comprising of, for instance, immediate family and neighborhood, and the larger exosystem such as state institutions and policies. From this perspective, organized acts of political violence may be visualized as rebellion against the exosystem or other higher-level systems. The rebellion could aspire to create conditions in which needs, whether basic or higher, are better satisfied. However, it is possible that the aspiration is not steered by some actual need deprivation but only by a perception of needs or by some utopian vision of society. If that is the case, it is also quite likely that poor people being more vulnerable to any degeneration in the physical environment may be less supportive of groups or activities that disrupt it.

description: Current regulation established for disposal of solid waste (e.g., municipal solid waste, and coal combustion residuals) requires disposal facilities that include a composite liner consisting of a geomembrane overlying a 0.6-m-thick clay liner. A sustainable alternative is to use of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) in lieu of a conventional clay liner, because GCLs have a low hydraulic conductivity (k<10-10 m/s), take much less air space due to their thickness (5 - 10mm), and easy to install. A Geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) consists of one layer of sodium bentonite sandwiched between two layers of geotextile that can be woven or non-woven. Many studies have been performed to understand and evaluate the hydraulic conductivity of GCLs that come in contact with various leachates (Daniel et al. 1997; Petrov and Rowe 1997; Shackelford et al. 2000; Ashmawy et al. 2002; Katsumi et al. 2008; Bradshaw and Benson 2014; Tian et al. 2016). However, these studies did not investigate the hydraulic conductivity of GCL in the region where the pieced of the GCL are overlapped during installation to cover large areas. If the hydraulic conductivity of the region where the GCL pieces are overlapped is higher than the hydraulic conductivity of the GCL itself, these areas will potentially control the bulk hydraulic conductivity of GCL layer installed in the landfill liner system. Therefore, proper evaluation of this phenomenon is very important and is lacking in the literature. Hydraulic conductivity was evaluated for the overlap of Sodium Bentonite (Na-B) Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) permeated with leachate characteristics of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills under four effective stress conditions (20, 100, 250, 500 kPa). The Na-B GCLs had different combination of geotextiles, one of them was nonwoven-nonwoven (NW-NW) while the other was nonwoven-woven (NW-W). The hydraulic conductivity of the (NW-NW) was higher compare to the (NW-W). Two overlap construction methods were evaluated: the Supplemental bentonite and Cut method. Hydraulic conductivities were similar at 20kPa, Supplemental bentonite method give a similar hydraulic conductivity compare to the Cut method at higher effective stress. A conceptual model of the flow paths featuring horizontal flow through the geotextiles was proposed and tested to explain the direction of the flow.
