Sweet Spot Identification and Optimum Well Planning: An Integrated Workflow to Improve the Sweep in a Sector of Giant Carbonate Mature Oil Reservoir (2014)

Abstract This study illustrates a comprehensive-integrated approach to identify the potential locations for future development in a sector area of a giant carbonate mature oil reservoir. The approach uses various data from several sources including reservoir surveillance, production performance, geological interpretation and numerical simulation and cohesively combines them to yield an informed decision to assess field development and management. The study area is under peripheral waterflood for more than fifty years and dominated by heterogeneity related to fracture corridors, high permeable zone, and reservoir zonation. These features leads to a preferential and uneven propagation of water flow which results in un-swept oil bearing spots using the existing wells lay-out and configuration. The reservoir management team has developed an integrated workflow to address these challenges by using several reservoir engineering methods and models including Water Encroachment, Reservoir Opportunity index, Fractional Flow Calculation, Remaining Volumetric and Water Flow Paths. The designed workflow consists of creating derived attributes that describe these models and filter the sector area to define the sweet spots. The selection and prioritization of the defined sweet spots are supported by available reservoir surveillance and production data. However, the scarcity of reservoir surveillance and production data in some areas of the sector, motivated reservoir management team to stretch the limits by capitalizing on gas wells penetrating the shallower oil reservoirs. The open-hole logs of these wells recorded thicker oil column than the preestimated column using the existing surveillance data. As a result of these efforts, a development plan was designed in order to ensure reserves depletion in the identified sweet spots by drilling new wells or sidetracking the existing wells. Despite the level of maturity, simulation forecasts indicate that the area of interest has lot of potential to sustain a high production rate.

A Mozambican marine protected area provides important habitat for vulnerable pelagic sharks (2023)

Pelagic sharks play key roles in marine ecosystems, but are increasingly threatened by human extraction, habitat degradation and mismanagement. We investigated the use of protected and unprotected coastal habitats by bull (Carcharhinus leucas) and oceanic blacktip (Carcharhinus limbatus) sharks in southern Mozambique. Five INNOVASEA VR2W-69 kHz acoustic receivers were positioned in the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park (BANP) as well as one to the south of the park's boundaries. Seven receivers were also deployed 250 km south in the Inhambane estuary and on reef sites off Praia de Tofo. Twelve bull, and six oceanic blacktip sharks, were fitted with INNOVASEA V16 acoustic tags, which generated 933 detections of bull and 12,381 detections of oceanic blacktip sharks over a period of 1391 days. A generalised additive model was used to estimate the effects of seven spatiotemporal and environmental parameters on the frequency of each species' detections. In general, calculated residency indices were highest around the locations monitored in the BANP and one unprotected location off Tofo. Both species were more abundant across the monitored sites, during the summer when water temperatures were ~ 27 °C, when the moon was < 50% illuminated, and when the tide was rising. Detections coincided with each species' reproductive season indicating that both species may be reproductively active in the BANP region. Oceanic blacktip sharks were largely resident and so fisheries management may significantly benefit their population(s) around certain reef habitats in the BANP. The low residency and seasonal detections of bull sharks indicates that they may be transient and so effective conservation may require coordination between regional fisheries managers.
Correction of the sickle cell mutation in embryonic stem cells (2006)

Sickle cell anemia is one of the most common genetic diseases worldwide. Patients often suffer from anemia, painful crises, infections, strokes, and cardiopulmonary complications. Although current management has improved the quality of life and survival of patients, cure can be achieved only with bone marrow transplantation when histocompatible donors are available. The ES cell technology suggests that a therapeutic cloning approach may be feasible for treatment of this disease. Using a transgenic/knockout sickle cell anemia mouse model, which harbors 240 kb of human DNA sequences containing the beta(S)-globin gene, we prepared ES cells from blastocysts that had the sickle cells anemia genotype and carried out homologous recombination with DNA constructs that contained the beta(A)-globin gene. We obtained ES cells in which the beta(S) was corrected to the beta(A) sequence. Hematopoietic cells differentiated from these ES cells produced both hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S. This approach can be applied to human ES cells to correct the sickle mutation as well as beta-thalassemia mutations.
Magnetic performance and corrosion resistance of electroless plating CoWP film (2012)

Abstract The CoWP film with good magnetic performance and corrosion resistance was electrolessly plated from alkaline solution. The technical parameters of the electroless plating system were optimized. When the pH value of electroless plating solution was 11.0 and the reducing agent (NaH 2 PO 2 ) content was 0.4 mol·L −1 , the target chemical reactions proceeded in the electroless plating solution smoothly with negligible interference and side effects. CoWP film prepared under optimal deposition condition contained more hexagonal close‐packed (hcp) cobalt (ɛ‐Co) of [110] and crystallographic orientation of Co [002]. VSM analysis reveals that the saturation magnetization of the CoWP film is 100∼220 Am 2 ·kg −1 and coercivity is (2.87∼4.38)×10 4 A·cm −1 . The corrosion behavior of CoWP film in 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution was studied by electrochemical experiments. The results prove that the corrosion resistance of the CoWP film deposited under the optimal deposition condition exhibites relatively lower corrosion current of (3.054∼3.162)×10 −6 A·cm −2 . The surface morphology analysis indicates that the film is smooth and composed of regular‐shaped crystallites.

Insect transgenesis applied to tephritid pest control (2008)

Abstract Tephritid fruit fly species cause major economical losses in crops worldwide. Genetic transformation of insect pests, which are targets of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), a key component of area‐wide pest management, has been achieved for several years. For the medfly Ceratitis capitata as well as several Bactrocera and Anastrepha species, germline transformation can now be used to bioengineer strains that should increase the efficacy and cost‐effectiveness of the SIT. Novel transformation vectors, robust genetic markers and diverse promoters to drive stage‐ and tissue‐specific gene expression provide powerful tools to test the contribution that these technologies can make to current SIT programmes.
Mixed analog/digital silicon compiler for space applications (1993)

The goal of the research project that is presented in this paper, is the development of a mixed analog/digital silicon compiler. The compiler is targeted to the architectural design of a mixed analog/digital signal acquisition and processing chain for space applications. The user has to describe the functionality and performance requirements of a system to be de signed. The compiler then translates the system description into an architecture of low level modules such as A/D converters, amplifiers and filters, as well as digital control sections. The layouts of the different modules will be generated by dedicated analog or digital module generators. Finally, the compiler assembles the layout of the total system. The necessary verifications at different levels during the design process will be performed by a mixed signal simulator. The general requirements and design flow of the\nsilicon compiler will be discussed, together with the application domain of the compiler.
All-solid-state tunable ultraviolet Ce activated fluoride laser systems directly pumped by the fourth and fifth harmonic of Nd:YAG lasers (2002)

We have demonstrated the direct generation, efficient amplification, and sum frequency generation (SFG) of tunable UV short pulses from the all-solid-state Ce activated Ce:LiCaAlF/sub 6/ laser system pumped by Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers. These approach will open up new possibility of ultrashort pulse lasers in ultraviolet region.
Analysis of Spleen Cells in Susceptible and Resistant Mice with Experimental Lagochilascariosis (2012)

Lagochilascariosis is an emerging parasitic disease caused by the helminth Lagochilascaris minor. The experimental mouse model has been used to study the immune response against L. minor infection. In the present work, immunohistochemistry analysis of spleen cells populations was evaluated in susceptible (C57BL/6) and resistant (BALB/c) mice experimentally infected with L. minor. The BALB/c mice exhibited increased spleen cell indexes as follows: F4/80+ at 100 days after infection (DPI), CD4+ at 100 and 250 DPI, CD8+ at 35 and 100 DPI, and CD19+ at 100, 150, and 250 DPI. In the spleens of the infected C57BL/6 mice, increased indexes of the following spleen cells were observed: F4/80+ cells at 250 DPI, CD4+ cells at 150 DPI, CD8+ cells at 35, 150, and 250 DPI, and CD19+ cells at 150 to 250 DPI. The index of spleen cells confirmed the differences between the control and infected groups at several time points following the infection. These data demonstrate an association between a preferential increase in the number of CD4+ and CD19+ spleen cells and resistance to experimental lagochilascariosis in BALB/c mice and between a preferential increase in the number of CD8+ spleen cells and susceptibility in C57BL/6 mice.
Studies on dynamic behaviour and flow properties of HDPE/EPDM blends by torque rheometer (1995)

Abstract The effect of blend ratio on the crosslinking characteristics and dynamic elastic properties of HDPE/EPDM blends was studied by a torque rheometer. The crosslink density (a measure of tensile strength) first increases and then decrease with increase in EPDM content. The dynamic elastic property (a measure of impact strength) also showed a peculiar trend. Both studies showed that less than 40 parts loading of EPDM gave the best mechanical properties. In another study the flow activation energy was calculated by temperature programming, which gave the value of processing temperatures (cold mixing, hot mixing).

Activated Carbon as an Advanced Treatment for Petrochemical Wastewaters (1988)

This paper presents the results of a study conducted with the purpose of establishing the feasibility of using activated carbon as an advanced treatment process for petrochemical wastewaters. Two pilot plants using Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) and Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), respectively, were operated for a period of 15 weeks, fed with the effluent of a petrochemical wastewater treatment plant. The study was made using all available Brazilian carbons at the time. Isotherm tests and other carbon properties were used to select the carbons for GAC and PAC plants. The two pilot plants were operated between 8 April and 24 June 1981 at CETREL's wastewater treatment plant located at Camacari, BA, Brazil. The plant treats organic wastewaters from a petrochemical complex. During the first two GAC runs, low COD removal efficiencies were evident, and the effluent of all columns contained color due to the presence of organic colloids which were not adsorbed by the carbon. For this reason the feed to the system was pretreated to remove organic colloids. During the study period six GAC test runs were conducted using carbon GM and one using carbon HIDRO-G. Comparison of the two carbons showed that GM was the superior of the two. At all times, the GAC pilot plant using GM produced a colorless effluent from the amber-colored influent. At the same time, the PAC system, with a carbon dosage of 100 mg/l, was not capable of removing the color. One sample of carbon was regenerated to study its performance after regeneration. The analysis of the obtained data suggests that the adsorptive properties of the virgin and regenerated carbon may differ by as much as 12%. Several tests were made to determine the removal efficiency of priority pollutants in the GAC and PAC systems. These tests indicated that the GAC system is capable of reducing organic priority pollutants to below detectable limits. Metal analyses were made on several occasions on the GAC systems in addition to those conducted on priority pollutants samples. These tests indicated that metal concentrations in the GAC effluent were at or below the proposed effluent standards. The authors concluded that granular activated carbon is a sound advanced treatment process for petrochemical wastes to reduce organic priority pollutants to below detectable limits, producing an effluent with less than 150 mg/l COD.
Multilevel Coding for Nonlinear ISI Channels (2009)

This paper proposes a new nonlinear equalization approach for the transmission of high-density constellations over nonlinear ISI channels. Multilevel coding is performed at the transmitter, and multistage equalization and decoding at the receiver. Two equalizers are introduced. One uses nonlinear intersymbol interference (ISI) cancellation and has linear complexity in the channel memory <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">L</i> , and the number of decoding stages <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">K</i> . The other employs the reduced-state Bahl-Cocke-Jelinek-Raviv (BCJR) algorithm, which shows better performance and complexity on the order of <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">K</i> middot2 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">L</sup> . Capacity analysis and code simulation results show that these two schemes can achieve significant improvement over the conventional approaches that view nonlinear ISI as additive noise.
Regulation and Function of Proinflammatory TH17 Cells (2008)

Naïve CD4(+) helper T (TH) cells, upon activation by antigen-presenting cells (APC), differentiate into different types of effector cells that are characterized by their distinct cytokine production profiles and immune regulatory functions. In addition to TH1 and TH2 cells, a third subset of effector TH cells has recently been described and termed TH17. Since their identification, TH17 cells have emerged as crucial players in infectious, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases, and cancer. In this review, we summarize the latest discoveries on the cytokine-mediated regulation and transcriptional programming of TH17 cells and their roles in different immune responses and diseases.
[Posterior fossa dural arteriovenous fistula with isolated sinus segment]. (1993)

Radiological and clinical analysis was performed in 5 patients with posterior fossa dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) with isolated sinus segment due to sinus thrombosis, and their patho physiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic concerns were discussed. Patients ranged in age from 36 to 73 years old with a mean of 57 years and included 2 males and 3 females. Two patients presented with ataxia, one with ataxia and bruit, one with atypical facial pain, and one with parietal dysfunction. One patient had a history of hemorrhagic event. DAVFs were located at transverse-sigmoid sinus (3 cases), superior petrosal sinus (1 case), and straight sinus (1 case). They were fed by many branches of external carotid artery including middle meningeal artery, ascending pharyngeal artery, posterior auricular artery, occipital artery, meningeal branches of vertebral artery and posterior cerebral artery, and meningohypophyseal trunk of internal carotid artery. Shunt flow drained into contralateral transverse-sigmoid or supratentorial sinuses via the isolated venous segment through markedly dilated cortical and/or deep venous systems, which caused altered normal venous drainage pattern and venous hypertension. Transarterial embolization in multiple stages (mean 3.4) using n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) could alleviate symptoms in all cases. DAVFs were almost totally obliterated in 3 patients. Further embolization in one case, and surgical excision in one case were planed because of some residual dilated cortical venous drainage. Posterior fossa DAVFs with isolated sinus segment accompany markedly dilated cortical and/or deep venous systems. They could cause cerebellar, brainstem, or cranial nerve dysfunctions, and sometimes present distant supratentorial symptoms or hydrocephalus due to abnormal venous drainage and venous hypertension.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Globus Nexus: Research Identity, Profile, and Group Management as a Service (2014)

Collaborative e-Science applications often need to manage large numbers of user identities, profiles, and groups. However, developing and maintaining such capabilities is often challenging given the plethora of security protocols available and requirements for scalable, robust, and highly available implementations. Globus Nexus is a professionally hosted Platform-as-a-Service that provides these capabilities for collaborative e-Science applications, with a particular focus on the needs of scientific communities. It provides features such as identity provisioning, identity federation, profile management, user-oriented group management, and branded web interfaces that are important to many e-Science applications. Globus Nexus implements best practices approaches for each of these features for example using delegated security protocols such as OAuth, provides sophisticated workflows for actions such as email validation, and implements complex user-defined policies regarding permissible actions. We present here Globus Nexus' capabilities, motivate design choices, and present results that characterize the scalability, reliability, and availability of its implementation and deployment.
Application of memory tester for non-destructive detection of micro-crack and crack patterns in flash memory devices (2004)

In this paper, we introduces a new , non-destructive inspection technique for die crack and crack pattern using a memory tester. The concept of the technique is based upon the fact that almost ninety percent of the space of a memory device consists of cell memories, thus if microcrack is present, the phenomenon would cause malfunctioning of the memory.
Rethinking floating point for deep learning (2018)

Reducing hardware overhead of neural networks for faster or lower power inference and training is an active area of research. Uniform quantization using integer multiply-add has been thoroughly investigated, which requires learning many quantization parameters, fine-tuning training or other prerequisites. Little effort is made to improve floating point relative to this baseline; it remains energy inefficient, and word size reduction yields drastic loss in needed dynamic range. We improve floating point to be more energy efficient than equivalent bit width integer hardware on a 28 nm ASIC process while retaining accuracy in 8 bits with a novel hybrid log multiply/linear add, Kulisch accumulation and tapered encodings from Gustafson's posit format. With no network retraining, and drop-in replacement of all math and float32 parameters via round-to-nearest-even only, this open-sourced 8-bit log float is within 0.9% top-1 and 0.2% top-5 accuracy of the original float32 ResNet-50 CNN model on ImageNet. Unlike int8 quantization, it is still a general purpose floating point arithmetic, interpretable out-of-the-box. Our 8/38-bit log float multiply-add is synthesized and power profiled at 28 nm at 0.96x the power and 1.12x the area of 8/32-bit integer multiply-add. In 16 bits, our log float multiply-add is 0.59x the power and 0.68x the area of IEEE 754 float16 fused multiply-add, maintaining the same signficand precision and dynamic range, proving useful for training ASICs as well.
