Reactive Transport Modeling of Carbonate and Siliciclastic Diagenesis and Reservoir Quality Prediction (2006)

Abstract A fundamental challenge in reservoir characterization is the accurate prediction of diagenesis on reservoir quality and heterogeneity. Reactive transport modeling is an emerging technology that can be used to simulate coupled multi-phase fluid flow and diagenetic reactions. It has the unique capability to predict spatial and temporal variations in porosity and permeability and reservoir quality evolution at both geological and production timescales. We applied reactive transport modeling to investigate several styles of diagenesis in both carbonate and siliciclastic rocks: 1) Early diagenesis in a freshwater lens and associated hydrological zones in an isolated carbonate platform; 2) Dolomitization and anhydrite cementation in a brine reflux system; 3) Geothermal convection and burial diagenesis in a salt buried isolated platform; 4) Fault induced hydrothermal fluid flow and illitization; and 5) Formation alteration associated with steam (water) and acid injection and artificial diagenesis. Adopting a sensitivity analysis approach, we examined how key natural variables, such as climate, sea level, temperature, salinity and fluid composition and porosity/permeability heterogeneity impact different styles of diagenesis and reservoir evolution. We also examined how formation damage caused by artificial diagenesis in production can be predicted by reactive transport modeling. Linking fundamental geochemical processes to predict reservoir quality has significantly improved our understanding of several conceptual diagenetic models and paradigms. Our novel approach suggests that reactive transport models, when sufficiently integrated with traditional methods and calibrated with field data, have the potential to significantly improve our ability to predict carbonate and siliciclastic reservoir quality.

Amino Acids in Must and Wines, Proline, Serine and Threonine (1956)

Changes in the amounts of proline, serine and threonine found in fresh French Colombard must were followed during fermentation of the must to wine. Proline was the most abundant of the 17 amino acids measured in must, by a factor of 3 to 4. The amount of proline was not significantly changed during fermentation, and it remained the most abundant amino acid in the young wine. Serine was found to be the third and threonine the fifth most abundant amino acids in the must. About twenty-six per cent of serine and seventysix per cent of the threonine were lost during fermentation. The data of this and earlier work indicate that serine was the second and threonine the fourth most abundant amino acid in the young wine. An attempt was made to separate the amino acids from factors in the must which inhibited the acid production of assay organisms by a chromatographic technique. One effluent fraction from a Dowex 50 column assay was found to strongly inhibit the proline assay. The nature of the factor is unknown. The sugar, tartaric acid and color of the must appeared in early fractions of the column effluent. Serine did not appear in any fraction of the collected effluent.
ENHANCED WATER SORPTION OF A SEMI-INTERPENETRATING POLYMER NETWORK (IPN) OF POLY(2-HYDROXYETHYL METHACRYLATE) (PHEMA) AND POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL) (PEG) (2002)

ABSTRACT An attempt was made to enhance the water-sorption capacity of polymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) by preparing its semi-interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) with a hydrophilic polymer such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The effects of various factors, such as history of the polymer sample, chemical architecture of the IPN, presence of salt ions in the swelling medium, and temperature of the swelling medium, were investigated on the water sorption kinetics of the IPNs. The IPN was characterized by IR spectral analysis and various structural parameters, such as molecular weight between crosslinks (Mc), crosslink density (q) and number of elastically effective chains (Ve), were evaluated. The IPNs were also assessed for their antithrombogenic potential.
Making the bridge between two worlds-post-processing LASAR data into a test language (2002)

If is accepted by everybody that the TPS development challenge can only be won with the intensive use of TPS software tools. One of the most proved and used tools in digital TPS Development are the digital simulators (like LASAR and HITS). However, their use and integration with ATEs and other tools is difficult and requires lot of workaround. This paper places a focus on possible solutions and describe the solution adopted at OGMA, SA. Special attention was placed on practical issues and results are displayed.
Oleanolic acid inhibits macrophage differentiation into the M2 phenotype and glioblastoma cell proliferation by suppressing the activation of STAT3 (2011)

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) polarized to the M2 phenotype promote tumor cell proliferation and are associated with a poor prognosis in patients with high grade glioma. We previously revealed that corosolic acid, a triterpenoid compound, inhibits the M2 polarization of human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM). In the present study, we examined whether oleanolic acid (OA), a triterpenoid compound whose structure is similar to corosolic acid, also shows inhibitory effects on M2 polarization in HMDM. OA significantly inhibited the expression of CD163, one of the phenotype markers of M2 macrophages, as well as suppressed the secretion of IL-10, one of the anti-inflammatory cytokines preferentially produced by M2 macrophages, thus suggesting that OA suppresses the M2 polarization of macrophages. Furthermore, OA inhibited the proliferation of U373 human glioblastoma cells, and the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) in both human macrophages and glioblastoma cells. These results indicate that OA suppresses the M2 polarization of macrophages and tumor cell proliferation by inhibiting STAT3 activation. Therefore, OA may be a potentially new agent that can be used for the prevention and treatment of various malignant tumors, including glioma.
State-of-the-art survey on P2P overlay networks in pervasive computing environments (2015)

P2P overlay networks have attracted significant research interest due to their utility as virtualized abstractions of complex network infrastructures, optimized to satisfy specific criteria, e.g. minimum delay or shortest diameter. In the context of modern pervasive environments, which are characterized by complexity, heterogeneity, dynamicity, and mobility in terms of the underlying networks, the utilization of P2P overlays accordingly offers a series of advantages by countering the aforementioned adverse characteristics. The widespread deployment of pervasive environments and the plethora of proposed P2P systems, both call for a systematic way to study related research works. In this paper we review related research on P2P (peer-to-peer) overlay networks in pervasive environments. In this respect, we therefore analyze relevant requirements and discuss the application and deployment of P2P overlays and systems on top of the networking infrastructures that are supported by pervasive environments. Aspects such as scalability, resource discovery, algorithmic complexity, security, and support for dynamicity are examined for existing research works, in an effort to identify the most suitable P2P overlay for the requirements set by the nature of pervasive environments. We also taxonomize P2P overlays using the well-established classification scheme in regard to their structure or lack of it. Furthermore, we study the notions of multi-layer and bio-inspired P2P overlays that have great synergies with pervasive environments due to their inherent characteristics, especially in terms of flexibility and robustness. By describing and critically analyzing existing systems and discussing current research and open issues, we aim to instigate further research in this domain, while at the same time this work should serve as a point of reference for state-of-the-art P2P overlays in pervasive environments.

Sea Beam, Multi-Beam Echo-Sounding in "Jean Charcot" - Description, Evaluation and First Results (1979)

In 1976, CNEXO (Centre National pour l'Exploitation des Oceans) purchased a Sea Beam system, a 16-beam echo-sounder, from GIC (General Instrument Corporation), Harris A.S.W. Division, Westwood, Massachusetts. This sounder was installed on the N.O. Jean Charcot and tested in the Spring of 1977. As opposed to a classical sounder which obtains only one bathymetric profile along a ship's track, this new type of sounder covers a swath of sea floor 3/4 the water depth wide (4 500 m for a 6 000 m depth) [1]. Bathymetric data are processed in real time by a mini-computer efficiently programmed to plot bathymetric contour lines at a contour interval and a scale set by the operator. Data are also recorded on magnetic tape for off-line processing. The present paper presents the first results obtained with the Sea Beam during a 4-week evaluation cruise in April and May 1977, analyzed with the advantage of extensive further experience with the system. It explores also the potential of the Sea Beam for cartography and structural analysis.
NKT cells: In the beginning… (2007)

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells as we know them today are a unique subset of mature T cells co-expressing a semi-invariant Valpha14/Vbeta8 TCR and surface markers characteristic of NK cells. The semi-invariant TCR on iNKT cells recognizes glycolipids bound to monomorphic CD1d molecules, leading to rapid cytokine production. The purpose of this historical perspective is to describe how a series of seemingly unrelated findings in the late 1980s and early 1990s crystallized in the discovery of iNKT cells. The story is told from a personal viewpoint, with a particular effort to place both breakthroughs and misinterpretations in the context of their era.

External Radiotherapy of Thyroid Cancer (2001)

Differentiated thyroid cancer comprises papillary, mixed papillary-follicular and follicular adenocarcinomas. They are mostly hormone-sensitive and respond to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression. The standard treatment is total thyroidectomy, (131)I therapy and thyroid hormone suppression therapy. Adjuvant external radiotherapy is discussed controversially. Most authors recommend adjuvant external radiotherapy for extra-capsular tumor extension. Decision on an individual basis should be made for patients with lymph node involvement. In the case of incomplete surgical resection, external radiotherapy should be applied if second surgery is not possible. For medullary thyroid cancer, external beam radiotherapy seems to be beneficial for patients with surgically inaccessible disease, with microscopic residual or gross tumor after surgery, with recurrent locoregional disease, or with surgically unmanageable metastases. Patients suffering from anaplastic thyroid cancer should receive combined treatment consisting of extensive surgery, external irradiation with total doses up to 60 Gy, and chemotherapy. The combined treatment modality leads to higher local control rates and prolongs survival.
Market-Based QoS Interconnection Economy in the Next-Generation Internet (2000)

Technical and regulatory changes motivate the economics of the interconnections to be re-examined for the next-generation Internet. This paper presents a framework for the economics of market-based QoS interconnection networks. The economic model presented captures the characteristics of opportunity costs and demands and suggests strategies for QoS pricing and allocation. We use the statistical results of network simulation to present numerical examples of those market opportunity costs with respect to the contracted QoS network services. Using the model, we show the network economics of market-based QoS interconnections.
VMAA at ISU and Cedarleaf Family Trust Assist ISU Veterinarian (1997)

The staff of the ISU Veterinarian would like to extend our sincere thanks to both the Veterinary Medical Alumni Association at Iowa State University and the E. T. Cedarleaf Family Trust for providing us with funding for the purchase of a new computer system for the publication of this journal. The staff members have been "making do" with an old Macintosh computer for several years, and it has been increasingly apparent that this system would no longer be adequate for publishing the journal. With the generous contributions of these two benefactors, the staff has been able to purchase a Macintosh PowerPC and laser printer.
BLEmesh: A Wireless Mesh Network Protocol for Bluetooth Low Energy Devices (2015)

Bluetooth Low Energy is a highly adopted and anticipated communication solution for the Internet of Things. However, the restriction of data communication topology to point-to-point, limited range of communications, and the lack of IP support make Bluetooth Low Energy less attractive for Internet of Things applications. In Dec. 2014, the Bluetooth SIG standardized the Internet Protocol Support Profile to support the exchanging of IPv6 packets between devices over Bluetooth Low Energy. Still, a mesh networking protocol for multi-hop support is needed for it to overcome the limitations due to short range and restricted topology. This paper introduces Blemish, a wireless mesh network protocol which utilizes the broadcasting capability of wireless transmissions. We identify the available data payload using Bluetooth Low Energy Generic Access Profile -- Non-connectable Advertisement Data for different number of nodes and packets to send in a batch. Then we compare BLEmesh with conventional routing method and flood routing method. Our preliminary evaluation results show that the number of transmissions by BLEmesh is significantly smaller compared to its competitors for some selected network configurations, reducing the aggregated energy consumption within the mesh network.
Photoconductivity and luminescence in lanthanum oxysulfide (1972)

Rare-earth doped crystals of lanthanum oxysulfide were found to exhibit strong photoconductivity which increases rapidly with temperature. Correlation of photoconductivity to luminescence spectra of La2O2S : Eu shows that thermal quenching of the luminous emission from 5D states leads to the production of photocarriers, the majority of which are most likely holes. Special features of La2O2S : Eu photoconductivity indicate the important role which the charge-transfer states play in the luminescence mechanisms.
Radiation attenuation by lead and nonlead materials used in radiation shielding garments (2007)

The attenuating properties of several types of lead (Pb)-based and non-Pb radiation shielding materials were studied and a correlation was made of radiation attenuation, materials properties, calculated spectra and ambient dose equivalent. Utilizing the well-characterized x-ray and gamma ray beams at the National Research Council of Canada, air kerma measurements were used to compare a variety of commercial and pre-commercial radiation shielding materials over mean energy ranges from 39 to 205 keV. The EGSnrc Monte Carlo user code cavity. cpp was extended to provide computed spectra for a variety of elements that have been used as a replacement for Pb in radiation shielding garments. Computed air kerma values were compared with experimental values and with the SRS-30 catalogue of diagnostic spectra available through the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine Report 78. In addition to garment materials, measurements also included pure Pb sheets, allowing direct comparisons to the common industry standards of 0.25 and 0.5 mm "lead equivalent." The parameter "lead equivalent" is misleading, since photon attenuation properties for all materials (including Pb) vary significantly over the energy spectrum, with the largest variations occurring in the diagnostic imaging range. Furthermore, air kerma measurements are typically made to determine attenuation properties without reference to the measures of biological damage such as ambient dose equivalent, which also vary significantly with air kerma over the diagnostic imaging energy range. A single material or combination cannot provide optimum shielding for all energy ranges. However, appropriate choice of materials for a particular energy range can offer significantly improved shielding per unit mass over traditional Pb-based materials.
Biochemical Models of Leaf Photosynthesis (2000)

Increasing concerns of global climate change have stimulated research interests in all aspects of carbon exchange. This has restored interest in leaf photosynthetic models to predict and assess changes in photosynthetic CO2 assimilation in different environments. This is a comprehensive presentation of the most widely used models of steady-state photosynthesis by an author who is a world authority. Treatments of CO3, CO4 and intermediate pathways of photosynthesis in relation to environment have been update to include work on antisense transgenic plants. It will be a standard reference for the formal analysis of photosynthetic metabolism in vivo by advanced students and researchers.
Mould spores: the unusual suspects in hay fever. (1997)

Microfungi are microscopic plants that lack chlorophyll and depend on plant or animal material for nourishment. Moulds will only proliferate in a humid atmosphere. Moulds produce vast numbers of small spores, varying in diameter from 2 to 5 microns, which become airborne. Some common moulds in the UK include Cladosporium, Alternaria and Aspergillus, of which several species are pathogenic to humans. The frequency of mould allergy is uncertain, but it appears to be higher in children than in adults. Wet weather favours mould growth, and sunny, windy weather favours spore release, while snow reduces both considerably. In warm, humid climates, fungi are present in large quantities all the year round. In temperate zones, spore counts are highest during the late summer. Indoor exposure largely depends upon the level of humidity. Mould growth can be immense in badly constructed houses and can contribute to sick-house syndrome. Occupational exposure can occur during manufacture of bread, cheese, beer and wine. In recent years, the use of moulds has been extended to include antibiotic, enzyme and steroid manufacture. Inhalation of small quantities of mould spores can evoke an IgE response and asthma. Massive exposure to some moulds growing in the airway can evoke an IgE and IgG response in people with bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. The inhalation of large amounts of mould antigen in organic dust can cause an IgG response and extrinsic allergic alveolitis
