Numerical Study of Gas Evolution and Transport Behaviors in Natural Gas Hydrate Reservoirs

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Gas hydrates are a potentially vast untapped source of natural gas. Recent numerical and field studies suggest the Mallik gas hydrate field in Canada's Mackenzie Delta may represent a technically producible and potentially economically viable reservoir of natural gas. Our initial reservoir simulations using a kinetic reaction approach indicate that gas evolution and transport within porous geologic reservoirs have a significant effect on fluid production characteristics, while field and laboratory data suggest that significant amounts of evolved gas can be trapped for some time within the reservoir, depending on the field operation. In this work, we invoke modeling concepts extensively employed in quantifying gas ex-solution from very viscous oils to further assess the kinetic behaviour of gas hydrate ex-solution via depressurization. Here the gas bubbles can be categorized into three groups with explicit transport behaviour: small bubbles (water phase), large bubbles (immobile) and connected bubbles (or free gas). These concepts allow the development of a new set of kinetic reactions for hydrate dissociation: one representing the (possibly delayed) conversion of hydrate into water and dispersed gas bubble phases, and one representing the evolution from dispersed bubbles to connected bubbles. These reactions can effectively capture the non-equilibrium fluid flow behaviour observed in field production tests. For modeling of the transport phenomenon, we assumed two explicit mobility formulations, 1) trapped bubbles (no mobility) and a flowing water phase, and 2) large connected gas bubbles and flowing water (with relative mobility). Relative mobility can be estimated by using traditional grid block relative permeability curves. We then develop a simple mechanistic gas bubbles trapping tool as a function of Capillary Number, which can easily be incorporated into our numerical simulator. This entrapment of the non-wetting gas phase results in higher values of critical gas saturation. Two case studies based on alternative representations of a Mallik-like gas hydrate reservoir demonstrate that significant errors can result in reservoir modeling if these fluid transport phenomena are not adequately represented in numerical simulations. Aspects of the model developed here have been applied to history matching and prediction of natural gas recovery from clastic, sand-dominated reservoir at the Mallik Site.
Efecto de la estimación sobre la conceptualización del área

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

AbstractThe objective of this study is to determine the effect of estimation on the conceptualization of the area.Applying a quasi-experimental, with a group before and after, with non-equivalent control group. The people were students of third semester of Business Administration and International Business, aged between 17 and 22 years, of both genders.The methodology is based on the estimation wit grid areas of regions that are under a curve, taking as a pretext the study of definite integral.We found that although there is no significant difference in scores between the control group and experimental group on post-test, the methodology influenced significantly in the conceptualization of the area on the learner of the experimental group, because significant differences were found when comparing the intra-group difference between the experimental group and the control
C.L.O.W.N. Squad—learning to creatively love our wonderful neighbors

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this ministry project was to help 1st United Methodist Church of Glassboro, NJ connect with their community. The intent was to strengthen the outreach and hospitality ministry in the church in such a way that it became a part of the church’s DNA. The goal was to set up a process that was an integral part of all decisions in the church and would be used to connect with the community. The project proved that community could be taught and nurtured. It also helped show the importance that scripture places on community. We used sermons, bible study, teaching, and projects to find ways to engage with each other and the community around us. During the project, attention was taken to involve every aspect of the church and to encourage the church to participate in community building ways.
Relationship of Dynamic Balance to Speed and to Ability in Swimming

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract High and significant r's were found between dynamic balance (as measured by the Bass Test) and speed in swimming (−.75 ± .05), and dynamic balance and ability in swimming (.65 ± .07). Also, t ratios calculated between these same abilities indicated that dynamic balance is not a chance factor and may be an important factor in speed and in ability in swimming. Further study is needed to determine whether there is a cause and effect relationship between these factors.
NaMoO<sub>2</sub>: a Layered Oxide with Molybdenum\nClusters

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

NaMoO<sub>2</sub> was synthesized as a layered oxide from the reaction\nbetween the layered oxide Na<sub>2/3</sub>MoO<sub>2</sub> and metal\nsodium. Its structure was determined from high-resolution powder X-ray\ndiffraction, and it can be described as an α-NaFeO<sub>2</sub> distorted structure in which sodium ions and molybdenum atoms occupy\noctahedral interstitial sites. Chains of “diamond-like”\nclusters of molybdenum were evidenced in the [MoO<sub>2</sub>] layers\nresulting from the Peierls distortion expected in a two-dimensional\ntriangular lattice formed by transition metal atoms with a d<sup>3</sup> electronic configuration. Molybdenum–molybdenum distances\nas short as 2.58 Å were found in these clusters. The magnetic\nmoment recorded at low temperatures and at room temperature showed\nthat NaMoO<sub>2</sub> presents a very low magnetic susceptibility\ncompatible with the localization of the 4d electrons in the Mo–Mo\nbonds. This localization was confirmed by DFT calculation that showed\nthe NaMoO<sub>2</sub> was diamagnetic at 0 K. A sodium battery was\nbuilt using NaMoO<sub>2</sub> as the positive electrode material,\nand we found that sodium ions can be reversibly deintercalated and\nintercalated in NaMoO<sub>2</sub>, indicating that this compound is\none of the many phases existing in the Na<sub><i>x</i></sub>MoO<sub>2</sub> system.
Denarius - Sydenham 461a - Crawford 235/1c

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Crawford offers a lengthy account of the significance of the types (pp 267-268), and says the scene on the denarius is perhaps the most obvious way of symbolising a belief in the imperial claims of Rome. He says the moneyer is probably Sextus Pompeius, praetor, possibly in the year 119, and father of Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo. Sydenham says the moneyer is Sextus Pompeius Fostlus. He notes that the innovations in the motifs were more likely to have occurred at a local mint than at Rome. He also notes a date range of 133-126 B.C.E. (page 53) that is later than the date of 135 B.C.E. that Crawford identifies.
Cellular phone applied systems with interaction by figures on diagrams

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The purpose of this research is to provide a system framework that enables users to interact with systems by icons, using cellular phones as user interface devices. The response of the interaction of the system must be quick enough to satisfy users under such limitations as data transmission speed and performance. This work describes an application framework that separates interaction logic into a server and a client. To reduce the amount of client-side logic and transmission data, the interaction logic of both server-side and client-side cooperate to achieve user's operation using a simple script. A prototype system has been developed and evaluated. The client program immediately updates the screen when a user handles icons. The number of requests to the server is reduced 30%, and it takes less than 9 seconds to display typical contents, good enough for practical use.
Static analysis of function calls in Erlang

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Functions and their relations can affect numerous properties and metrics of a functional program. To identify and represent the functions and their calling connections, software analysers commonly apply semantic function analysis, which derives the static call graph of the program, based on its source code. Function calls however may be dynamic and complex, making it difficult to statically identify the callee. Dynamic calls are determined just at run-time, static analysis therefore cannot be expected to fully identify every call. Nevertheless, by utilising the results of a properly performed data-flow analysis as well as taking ambiguous references into account, numerous dynamic calls are discoverable and representable. We consider cases where the identifiers of the callee are statically determined, but they flow into the call expression from a different program point, and also, we manage to handle function calls whose identifiers are not fully identifiable at compile-time. By utilising the improved reference analysis, we extend the static call graph with various information about dynamic function calls. We investigate such a function call analysis in the programming language Erlang.
Treatment of Mililani I Well Water By "Nanofiltration"

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Two nanofiltration membranes, a thin film composite (TFC) membrane, a cellulose triacetate (CTA) membrane, were tested as pretreatment alternatives to extend the effective life of GAC at Mililani Wells I, Oahu, Hawaii. TFC membranes achieved excellent 1,2,3-trichloropropane (TCP), and 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) removal percentages whereas CTA membranes performed very poorly. TFC membranes showed promising signs of reducing total organic carbong (TOC) from the nanofiltration unit influent. In Mililani waters, only TCP is present in large amounts. It is suggested that further studies should be conducted where there is a chance of observing membrane's performance against high quantities of 1,2-dibromoethane (EDB), and DBCP. Due to the lack of trained personnel, not many TOC analyses were conducted. It is proven that nanofiltration is a viable treatment alternative and a pilot scale study should be conducted in the future taking economics also into consideration.

Construction of the Mental

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Developmental theorizing in psychology is shown to be based on axiomatic grounds that are antithetical to those of `the cognitive revolution'. Therefore it is not surprising that cognitivism has had a very limited impact upon our knowledge of developmental processes. Instead, it has had curious `side-effects'-it has kept the investigators' attention away from the processes of development, and has fortified the historically strong emphasis on the study of those psychological functions that have already developed. The question of how cognitive processes emerge, develop and reach their fully functional states has been replaced by the question of whether persons (at different age levels) can be shown to 'possess' specific mental functions that are adaptive in specific task settings.
Carbon isotope discrimination of arctic and boreal biomes inferred from remote atmospheric measurements and a biosphere‐atmosphere model

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Estimating discrimination against 13 C during photosynthesis at landscape, regional, and biome scales is difficult because of large‐scale variability in plant stress, vegetation composition, and photosynthetic pathway. Here we present estimates of 13 C discrimination for northern biomes based on a biosphere‐atmosphere model and on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory and Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research remote flask measurements. With our inversion approach, we solved for three ecophysiological parameters of the northern biosphere ( 13 C discrimination, a net primary production light use efficiency, and a temperature sensitivity of heterotrophic respiration (a Q10 factor)) that provided a best fit between modeled and observed δ 13 C and CO 2 . In our analysis we attempted to explicitly correct for fossil fuel emissions, remote C4 ecosystem fluxes, ocean exchange, and isotopic disequilibria of terrestrial heterotrophic respiration caused by the Suess effect. We obtained a photosynthetic discrimination for arctic and boreal biomes between 19.0 and 19.6‰. Our inversion analysis suggests that Q10 and light use efficiency values that minimize the cost function covary. The optimal light use efficiency was 0.47 gC MJ −1 photosynthetically active radiation, and the optimal Q10 value was 1.52. Fossil fuel and ocean exchange contributed proportionally more to month‐to‐month changes in the atmospheric growth rate of δ 13 C and CO 2 during winter months, suggesting that remote atmospheric observations during the summer may yield more precise estimates of the isotopic composition of the biosphere.
How can we build skills to transform the healthcare system?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Across the world, healthcare organisations are implementing radical change strategies in the face of unprecedented financial challenge. In this context, a focus on building capacity and capability for improvement is a key strategy. Global analysis shows that the most common characteristic of healthcare organisations that deliver outstanding performance in cost and quality is a systematic approach to capability building for improvement. The paper looks at where to start in order to build improvement skills at every level of the healthcare system and empower frontline staff to make changes that will deliver results. The current situation of the English NHS is used to illustrate the points made. What will it take to skill up and mobilise the entire healthcare workforce, to create a mass movement of change agents, to sustain the energy for change for the longer term and deliver the transformational results in cost and quality that are sought for patients and populations?
Property Rights and Natural Resource Management Incentives: Do Transferability and Formality Matter?

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Abstract This article examines how property rights expectations affect resource management incentives. It utilizes expected property rights over different timespans and of different strengths, corresponding to ( a ) investments of different intensities and ( b ) farmers' sense of security regarding their often de facto property rights. The results suggest that property rights and their alienability in ten‐year time matter to intensive infrastructural investments, although not to lighter investments. Formality of property rights is shown to be insignificant to investment incentives, indicating that there is no functional difference between formal rights and customary rights at present in indigenous communities of the Philippines.
Security Council Resolution 1540 to Combat WMD Terrorism: Effectiveness and Legitimacy in International Legislation

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Faced with the urgent and grave threat of WMD terrorism, the international community has responded with a new approach of international legislation by adopting Security Council Resolution 1540. The traditional approach of multilateral treaties on WMD has primarily been aimed at the prevention of proliferation of such weapons to states and not to non-state actors. Another traditional approach of utilising anti-terrorism treaties has been a sort of patchwork, and thus provides no guarantee that a new treaty is made in a timely manner in response to a newly emerging type of terrorism. By contrast, the new approach of international legislation through Council resolutions makes it possible to enact rules that legally bind all UN members immediately and automatically without exception and are equivalent to those in a treaty instantly ratified by all UN members. Indeed, a new thinking is necessary to effectively respond to a new, urgent and grave threat to the international community. In that sense, Resolution 1540 is welcome. This does not, however, mean that everything is allowed if it is effective to deal with the present or imminent threat. Not only from the viewpoint of legitimacy, which guarantees the long-standing effectiveness, but also from that of the rule of law in the international community, it seems of fundamental importance to establish some kind of understanding that we discuss in this article, if international legislation by the Security Council is destined to become inevitable in the future and is to be better implemented.
Design-Driven Software Development

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Raising the level of abstraction beyond programming is a very active research topic involving a range of areas, including software engineering, programming languages and formal verification. The challenge is to allow design dimensions of a software system, both functional and non-functional, to be expressed in a high-level way, instead of being encoded with a programming language. Such design dimensions can then be leveraged to verify conformance properties and to generate programming support. \n \nOur research on this topic is to take up this challenge with an approach inspired by programming languages, introducing a full-fledged language for designing software systems and processing design descriptions both for verification and code generation purposes. Our approach is also inspired by domain-specific languages in that it defines a conceptual framework to guide software development. Lastly, to make our approach practical to software developers, we introduce a methodology and a suite of tools covering the development life-cycle. \n \nThis talk gives an overview of our approach and presents our main research results, illustrated by concrete examples. \n \n \nBIO: \nCharles Consel is a professor of Computer Science at University of Bordeaux.

Time frequency analysis and parametric approximation of room impulse responses

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Rooms are modeled as linear time invariant systems, where the acoustic transmission characteristics between a specific source receiver pair are described by the room impulse response. (RIR). A recursive realization of the short time Fourier transform is employed to decompose the RIR in the time frequency domain, where the different subband signals are approximated by parametric models. The pole-zero models, evaluated by the Steiglitz-McBride iteration, perform perfect reconstruction of the early reflections, whereas the decay rate of the reverberant part is sufficiently approximated. The RIR of a real room is studied as an example case.
PPGIS in neighbourhood planning: a strategy for inner-city community gardens, Winnipeg, Manitoba

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

As spatial information has become more accessible and cheaper, interest in using Geographic Information System (GIS) has increased in a variety of fields including geology, social science, land management, and urban design. GIS has been considered a tool to provide geographically more accurate information and maps, but there are still underexplored questions about whether GIS is a tool that encourages or hinders active public participation in community planning practices; or whether it only intensifies fact-based research methods rather than encouraging more comprehensive approaches. In order to address these questions, this practicum examines how GIS may be useful to encourage public participation, how information and knowledge collected from residents or a neighbourhood can be applied to developing a GIS model and how these data may be incorporated with community plan. To analyze and illustrate the processes, this practicum explores community gardens in the Daniel McIntyre and St. Matthews Communities in Winnipeg, Manitoba and aims to develop a GIS model to assist with the process of identifying the strategical locations for future garden sites.
