Integrating Seismic and Well Data into Highly Detailed Reservoir Model through AVA Geostatistical Inversion (2015)

Abstract Building a reservoir model by integrating seismic angle stacks and well data has been challenging for oil and gas companies. Seismic data contain very detailed information of reservoir properties lateraly but lack vertical resolution while well data provide very detailed information vertically but lack horizontal information. One established method of integrating these two kinds of data is deterministic seismic inversion. Deterministic seismic inversion has proven to be a good method in delineating the reservoirs at seismic resolution but it has limitation in analyzing thin reservoirs and it only pruduced one result. Geostatistical seismic inversion method has the ability to integrate many types of data and produce multiple relaizations of the results. The realizations are at much higher details than seismic data and are able to capture thin reservoirs. An AVA geostatistical seismic inversion workflow was successfully implemented to produce highly detailed reservoir models of Abu Madi reservoir sands in Nile delta, Egypt. Abu Madi Formation is composed of lacustrine turbidite deposits in semi-isolated basin and can be subdivided into Upper and Lower reservoirs. Intraformational shale baffles occur quite commonly within Abu Madi Formation which acted as barriers of pressure depletion between the Upper and Lower reservoirs. Well data analysis has demonstrated the complex pattern of the stacked reservoir sand zones of heterogeneous reservoir parameters and pressure trends. The main objective of the study was to produce reservoir models that could be used to understand the observed pressure depletion trends within the Upper and Lower Abu Madi reservoirs which have great significance for effective field management. Seismic angle stacks and well data were integrated through AVA geostatistical inversion to produce highly detailed lithotype and elastic property results at 0.5 ms vertical sampling. Thesse models have successfully captured the shale baffles. Lithotype and elastic property realizations were used to co-simulate for reservoir (engineering) properties of Effective Porosity and Volume of Clay. The Effective Porosity and Volume of Clay realizations were then ranked to provide the P10, P50 and P90 models to be used as input for dynamic flow simulation. Five permeability rock types were derived based on extensive SCAL database and used to define the permeability and saturation models. These detailed engineering models were used for dynamic flow simulation and successfully predicted the pressure depletion trends in the Abu Madi reservoirs.

Community-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Infections: A New Source for Nosocomial Outbreaks (1982)

Over a 19-month period, 165 patients with 183 infections caused by community-acquired, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were seen at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. The proportion of community-acquired staphylococcal infections resistant to methicillin rose from 3 % in March 1980 to 38% in September 1981. Drug abuse, serious underlying illness, previous antimicrobial therapy, and previous hospitalization were all associated with the development of this infection. Concurrent with the community epidemic was a nosocomial epidemic of methicillin-resistant S. aureus infection, which accounted for 30.6% of all nosocomial staphylococcal infections in January 1981. Control measures that included isolation, discharge precautions for carriers, and eradication of employee carriage were effective in preventing nosocomial transmission. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus carriage among employees was 0.7%. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus may originate in the community as well as in the hospital, and presents a threat to patients in both settings.
The response to the Christchurch earthquake(s) by the tourism sector (2013)

A major earthquake of magnitude 7.1 on the Richter scale hit Christchurch on the 4th of September 2010, followed by multiple aftershocks, including a devastating earthquake on the 22nd of February 2011. The February earthquake is the focus of this paper. The 22nd of February event resulted in 185 fatalities from over 20 countries. About 200 major injuries and between 1,500 and 2,000 minor injuries were recorded. Christchurch City declared a state of local emergency on 22nd February, and one day later the Government declared a state of national emergency for Christchurch City. The February earthquake was the first disaster in New Zealand's history that triggered a state of national emergency declaration.
Relevance of detection of immunoglobulin M antibody response in birds used for arbovirus surveillance (1986)

Young chickens were inoculated with 5,000 PFU of eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus and bled at intervals thereafter for determinations of hemagglutination-inhibiting (HI), neutralizing (N), immunoglobulin M (IgM), and IgG antibodies. HI, N, and IgM antibodies were first detected 4 days after infection, and IgG was detected 7 days after infection. All four antibodies persisted through day 90 after infection. HI, N, and IgM antibody titers remained elevated and were not cross-reactive with the related alphavirus western equine encephalitis (WEE) virus. IgG antibody titers also remained high, but heterologous reactivity to WEE virus increased with time after infection. Serum samples from sentinel chickens and wild birds infected in nature with EEE, WEE, or St. Louis encephalitis virus and submitted to this laboratory from state and local health departments were tested for IgM antibody by using anti-chicken IgM for capture and for IgG antibodies to the EEE and WEE viruses. There was essentially complete correlation between HI, N, and either IgM (indicating recent infections) or IgG (indicating more remote infections) antibody. We conclude that the IgM antibody capture enzyme immunoassay can be used as a specific and sensitive assay to replace the routinely used HI test for detecting antibody in sentinel chickens and in young, wild birds used for arbovirus surveillance. The test is rapid and relatively inexpensive and can be performed in essentially all adequately supplied laboratories.

Abstract Reaktion des Cyclobutadiens 2 mit den aktivierten Alkinen 5a–d liefert die Dewarbenzol‐derivate 6a–d (46–61%). Sie gehen beim Bestrahlen über Benzolzwischenstufen ( 7 ) in die thermodynamisch günstigeren Isomeren 8a–d (65–100%) über. Photochemisch lassen sich letztere durch intramolekulare [2+2]‐Cycloaddition in die Prismane 10a–d (38–100%) umwandeln. Beim Erhitzen auf 130–140°C isomerisieren die Tetracyclen 10a–c zu den Benzolderivaten 7a–c sowie 13a–c , die ganz oder teilweise Folgereaktionen zu 12a–c unterliegen.
Bacterial Cellulose Production from Beet Molasses (2006)

10245. The yield of the bacterial cellulose (BC) produced from beet molasses was higher than that using glucose as a sole carbon source. The structure of BC produced in presence of beet molasses was studied using IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry. IR spectra show the relative absorbance of CO- C ether linkage (at 1120 cm-1) in BC using glucose has a relatively lower value than that from molasses. This indicates that BC produced from glucose has a relatively higher degree of polymerization. From X-ray pattern, no remarkable differences in crystallinity index of cellulose between the two media were recorded
Differences in the subregional and cellular distribution of GABAA receptor binding in the hippocampal formation of schizophrenic brain (1996)

Recent postmortem studies have reported a marked upregulation of GABAA receptor binding activity in the anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortices of schizophrenic subjects. Because the hippocampal formation is a key corticolimbic region that has also been implicated by both postmortem and brain imaging studies in the pathophysiology of this disorder, the current report has sought to determine whether alterations of GABAA receptor binding might also be detected in this region from 15 normal controls and 8 schizophrenic subjects. Using a low resolution autoradiographic approach, the results show a significant increase of specific GABAA receptor binding activity in the area dentata (granule cell layer), CA4, CA3 (str. oriens, str. pyramidale), subiculum, and presubiculum of the schizophrenic group. The magnitude of the increase was greatest in CA3 and lowest in the CA1 sector. When high resolution analyses were performed on emulsion-coverslip preparations, a modest increase of binding (43%, P = 0.05) was observed on pyramidal, but not non-pyramidal neurons in sector CA1. Rather unexpectedly, GABAA binding in sector CA3 was not significantly different on pyramidal cells, but was almost three-fold higher (P = 0.015) on non-pyramidal neurons of the schizophrenic group. There was no relationship of age or the postmortem interval to the parameters showing significant changes in the schizophrenic group. Moreover, patients both with and without neuroleptic exposure showed upregulation of GABAA receptor binding activity. Taking together the rather modest increase of binding activity in CA1 and the more marked upregulation in CA3, as well as the differential changes on pyramidal neurons of CA1 vs. non-pyramidal neurons in CA3, the findings reported here are consistent with the possibility that a disturbance of brain development could have occurred either perinatally or perhaps even well into the postnatal period, and have given rise to discreet subregional and cellular alterations of disinhibitory GABAergic modulation in sector CA3 of schizophrenics. Overall, the data reported here provide further evidence that alterations of GABAergic activity may occur in the hippocampal formation of schizophrenic patients.

<title>Sensing fuel properties with thermal microsensors</title> (1996)

We report on measurements of combustion-relevant fuel properties for on-line, feedforward control with small, rugged and fully compensated microsensor-based systems. Such silicon microstructure sensor systems have been demonstrated to determine gaseous and liquid fuel properties such as stoichiometric oxygen demand, octane number, heating value, density and other properties of interest. The measurement approach consists of a three-step process: (1) Measurement of changes in electrical quantities when the sensing elements come in contact with the fluid, (2) Conversion of these quantities into primary sensor outputs, y<SUB>i</SUB>, such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, temperature and pressure, and (3) Correlation between these and the properties of interest, Y(y<SUB>i</SUB>). By coupling this property sensor to an equally rugged and small thermal flow microsensor, millisecond-range response time signals of mass or volume flow, or stoichiometric oxygen demand rate are provided for feed-forward control, without exposing any sensor to harsh exhaust gas environments. Having presented results with gaseous fuels elsewhere, we update these here but concentrate on the determination of octane and cetane number of liquid fuels. Analysis results show that the correlations between these combustion performance properties and physical fuel properties are as good as the ones between octane and critical compression ratio or between cetane and ignition delay. However, all those correlations appear to be limited presently by the accuracy or at least consistency of available data, which are needed for calibration of the sensor system. In checking the temperature dependence of one of the correlations for octane, we found the system output to shift by 15% when using hexadecane as a reference fuel, but only by 1% with iso-octane as reference, for a 10 degree(s)C shift in temperature.
Homology-dependent Gene Silencing in<i>Paramecium</i> (1998)

Microinjection at high copy number of plasmids containing only the coding region of a gene into the Paramecium somatic macronucleus led to a marked reduction in the expression of the corresponding endogenous gene(s). The silencing effect, which is stably maintained throughout vegetative growth, has been observed for all Paramecium genes examined so far: a single-copy gene (ND7), as well as members of multigene families (centrin genes and trichocyst matrix protein genes) in which all closely related paralogous genes appeared to be affected. This phenomenon may be related to posttranscriptional gene silencing in transgenic plants and quelling in Neurospora and allows the efficient creation of specific mutant phenotypes thus providing a potentially powerful tool to study gene function in Paramecium. For the two multigene families that encode proteins that coassemble to build up complex subcellular structures the analysis presented herein provides the first experimental evidence that the members of these gene families are not functionally redundant.
Infrared Observations of XTE J1118+480 (2005)

Infrared observations of the outbursting black hole XTE J1118+480 (ATEL #383) were performed using SQIID on the Kitt Peak National Observatory 2.1m telescope. Observations spanning 2005 January 15.42-15.58 found it somewhat fainter than the previous outburst (IAUC # 7394 , # 7407 ), at average brightness J=12.91+/-0.03, H=12.50+/-0.03, K=11.95+/-0.03. The colors again correspond to an approximately flat spectrum in F_nu. No orbital variation is apparent, but there is substantial unresolved rapid variability with rms amplitude 22% in K (between 2s exposures). Further observations are planned nightly until Jan 21.
Machine Vision Approach for Automating Vegetation Detection on Railway Tracks (2013)

Abstract The presence of vegetation on railway tracks (amongst other issues) threatens track safety and longevity. However, vegetation inspections in Sweden (and elsewhere in the world) are currently being carried out manually. Manually inspecting vegetation is very slow and time consuming. Maintaining an even quality standard is also very difficult. A machine vision-based approach is therefore proposed to emulate the visual abilities of the human inspector. Work aimed at detecting vegetation on railway tracks has been split into two main phases. The first phase is aimed at detecting vegetation on the tracks using appropriate image analysis techniques. The second phase is aimed at detecting the rails in the image to determine the cover of vegetation that is present between the rails as opposed to vegetation present outside the rails. Results achieved in the current work indicate that the machine vision approach has performed reasonably well in detecting the presence/absence of vegetation on railway tracks when compared with a human operator.
Training a Camera to Perform Long-Distance Eye Tracking by Another Eye-Tracker (2019)

Appearance-based gaze estimation techniques have been greatly advanced in these years. However, using a single camera for appearance-based gaze estimation has been limited to short distance in previous studies. In addition, labeling of training samples has been a time-consuming and unfriendly step in previous appearance-based gaze estimation studies. To bridge these significant gaps, this paper presents a new long-distance gaze estimation paradigm: train a camera to perform eye tracking by another eye tracker, named Learning-based Single Camera eye tracker (LSC eye-tracker). In the training stage, the LSC eye-tracker simultaneously acquired gaze data by a commercial trainer eye tracker and face appearance images by a long-distance trainee camera, based on which deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models are utilized to learn the mapping from appearance images to gazes. In the application stage, the LSC eye-tracker works alone to predict gazes based on the acquired appearance images by the single camera and the trained CNN models. Our experimental results show that the LSC eye-tracker enables both population-based eye tracking and personalized eye tracking with promising accuracy and performance.
Nozzle Development for the Upper Surface - Blown Jet Flap on the YC-14 Airplane (1974)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">A discussion of wing-nozzle configuration development for the application of upper surface blowing to a STOL airplane is presented. The technical challenge is to achieve an integrated system which provides the desired performance for the low speed design conditions and also results in efficient operation during cruise. The resulting configuration is a complete integration of the propulsion system and airplane aerodynamics to achieve efficient operation at all regimes. This paper examines the major design parameters to be considered, describes a number of the configurations tested, and presents static and wind tunnel test results for these configurations. Concluding remarks are made relative to USB nozzle development.</div>
The effects of temperature and pressure on the performance of Carboxen/PDMS fibres during solid phase microextraction (SPME) of headspace volatiles from cooked and raw turkey breast (2001)

Abstract The strongly adsorptive SPME fibre Carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) was evaluated for its performance in the recovery of aroma‐contributing compounds from the headspace of heated and raw homogenates of turkey breast muscle. In heated samples, variables such as fibre and sample temperatures, sample volume, headspace: sample ratio, and the presence or absence of internal headspace pressure significantly influenced the total amounts of aroma components recovered, as well as the proportions of headspace fractions, which differed in volatility. The versatile nature of the fibre permitted the selection of operating parameters that substantially increased the sensitivity of detection for minor components of both high and low volatility. Headspace sampling of weakly aromatic raw turkey breast homogenates and of aqueous standards at ambient temperature and a pressure of approximately 5 × 10 −2 bar resulted in a 4–70‐fold increase in the recovery of aldehyde and alcohol headspace components, compared to the levels detected at atmospheric pressure. At reduced pressure the trapping ability of the CAR/PDMS fibre was found to be much superior to that of porous polymer materials such as PDMS/DVB, and the fibre has excellent potential as a simple and effective means of concentrating volatile components from raw foods and other matrices where the application of heat is not desired.

New directions for protecting the heart against ischaemia–reperfusion injury: targeting the Reperfusion Injury Salvage Kinase (RISK)-pathway (2003)

Reperfusion is a pre-requisite to salvaging viable myocardium, following an acute myocardial infarction. Reperfusion of ischaemic myocardium, however, is not without risk, as the act of reperfusion itself can paradoxically result in myocyte death: a phenomenon termed lethal reperfusion-induced injury. Therapeutic strategies that target and attenuate reperfusion-induced cell death may provide novel pharmacological agents, which can be used as an adjunct to current reperfusion therapy, to limit myocardial infarction. Recent evidence has implicated apoptotic cell death during the phase of reperfusion as an important contributor to lethal reperfusion-induced injury. Targeting anti-apoptotic mechanisms of cellular protection at the time of reperfusion may therefore offer a potential approach to attenuating reperfusion-induced cell death. In this regard, ischaemia-reperfusion has been shown to activate the anti-apoptotic pro-survival kinase signalling cascades, phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI3K)-Akt and p42/p44 extra-cellular signal-regulated kinases (Erk 1/2), both of which have been implicated in cellular survival. Activating these pro-survival kinase cascades at the time of reperfusion has been demonstrated to confer protection against reperfusion-induced injury. We and others have shown that insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), urocortin, atorvastatin and bradykinin protect the heart, by activating the PI3K-Akt and/or Erk 1/2 kinase cascades, when given at the commencement of reperfusion, following a lethal ischaemic insult. Pharmacological manipulation and up-regulation of these pro-survival kinase cascades, which we refer to as the Reperfusion Injury Salvage Kinase (RISK) pathway, as an adjunct to reperfusion may therefore protect the myocardium from lethal reperfusion-induced cell death and provide a novel strategy to salvaging viable myocardium and limiting infarct size.
Massive pulmonary embolism during pregnancy successfully treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator: a case report and review of treatment options. (2002)

Thromboembolic disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality during pregnancy. 1 Berg and colleagues 2 found that 11% of maternal deaths during pregnancy were related to pulmonary embolism (PE). Another study revealed that up to 40% of pregnant women with asymptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) may also have concurrent PE. 3 Women are at increased risk for DVT and PE during pregnancy for several reasons. Pregnancy is a thrombophilic state; fibrinogen levels are increased, and during the final trimester there is a decrease in fibrinolytic activity. In addition, the gravid uterus causes compression and stasis in the lower extremities and pelvic veins favoring thrombosis. 3 Finally, women with a history of thrombotic complications during pregnancy have an increased prevalence of genetic mutations related to coagulation. 4
