Uncertainty Analysis in Reservoir Production Forecasts During Appraisal and Pilot Production Phases

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The objective of this paper is to present a methodology for quantification of the impact of uncertainties in the economic evaluation of reservoirs. The methodology is based on the numerical flow simulation of many representative models of possible scenarios of the reservoir, through the combination of the attributes with uncertainty that characterize the reservoir. A set of data representing uncertainty values for each select attribute, and its associated probabilities are combined by the decision tree technique. After the simulation, a statistic treatment is done to obtain the expectation curve of production forecast and net present value. The procedure is done in a network of workstations, using parallel computing, with great reduction in the processing time and ensures the practical usage of this methodology. The methodology is applied to a real offshore field in Campos Basin – Brazil, in the appraisal phase, with few wells and few seismic lines.
Can Neutrophils Prevent Nosocomial Pneumonia after Serious Injury?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Nosocomial pneumonia is a leading cause of critical illness and mortality among seriously injured trauma patients. However, the link between injury and the development of nosocomial pneumonia is still not well recognized. Our work strongly suggests that mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs), especially mitochondrial formyl peptides (mtFPs) released by tissue injury, play a significant role in developing nosocomial pneumonia after a serious injury. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils, PMN) migrate toward the injury site by detecting mtFPs through formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) to fight/contain bacterial infection and clean up debris. Activation of FPR1 by mtFPs enables PMN to reach the injury site; however, at the same time it leads to homo- and heterologous desensitization/internalization of chemokine receptors. Thus, PMN are not responsive to secondary infections, including those from bacteria-infected lungs. This may enable a progression of bacterial growth in the lungs and nosocomial pneumonia. We propose that the intratracheal application of exogenously isolated PMN may prevent pneumonia coupled with a serious injury.
Automatic knowledge extraction from web images

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This report will provide an in-depth insight into my final year project (FYP) for the title of the project is automatic knowledge extraction for web images. It will be a brief introduction of the project and the software that used for this project. With the development of science and technology, human beings are more desirable for automation systems. Currently images are already widely used by the World Wide Web (WWW). This is important to build impressive ways to manage with retrieve images’ data or information. Beneficially, the network image contains rich context data compared to a conventional image that provides very little information. This project is to develop a program that can automatically obtain knowledge of web page. By using the program method, automatically upload the pictures to Google, and then extract similar images such as the URL, date and location. The two main problems that may bring many difficulties in developing the program: i) that the amount of data currently available on the Web keep changing, mostly in the form of natural language text; ii) The release data speed may be approaching the real-time processing of the text stream. Throughout the research and found out that the problems can be solved by using the python.
Effect of tannin-rich plant (Acacia nilotica) on some nutritional and bacteriological parameters in goats.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The effects of A. nilotica (tannin-rich plants) on the digestion coefficient of nutrients and its antibacterial properties were "in-vivo" investigated in this study. Twenty five male baladi goats aged 3-4 years and weighing 19-21 kg were randomly classified into five groups (5 per each). Each animal group was fed on one of the experimental diets containing different levels of A. nilotica leaves (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% & 20%). Chemical analysis of A. nilotica leaves revealed that its content of crude protein, crude fiber, ash were 12.1%, 30.5%, 13.2%, respectively, while the total soluble tannins were 34%. The digestion coefficient of dry matter (DM), crude protein, crude fiber and nitrogen free-extract (NFE) in the control group were better than those of the experimental diets. However, digestion coefficient of most nutrients were significantly decreased (P < 0.01) with increasing levels of A. nilotica in the goat's diets. Absorbed and retained nitrogen (g/day) were decreased with increasing levels of A. nilotica. Concerning nitrogen balance, all animals of the experimental groups showed positive nitrogen balance. Colony forming units (CFU) were drastically reduced in both faecal und ruminal juice samples. This reduction was directly proportional to levels of A. nilotica in the ingested feed. The CFU were reduced in the faecal samples from 5.9 x 10(8)/g (control group) to 2.8 x 10(4) (fifth group) (that received 20% Acacia nilotica). On the other hand, the CFU/ml of ruminal juice samples were reduced from 5.8 x 10(6) (control group) to 1.8 x 10(3) (fifth group). On the other hand, Cl. perfringens count was reduced from 1.0 x 10(4) to 6.3 x 10/g in the faecal samples while their count was reduced from 6.2 x 10(2) to 4.4 x 10/ml in case of ruminal samples. The reduction of total bacterial and Cl. perfringens counts were directly proportional to the levels of A. nilotica in the diets of goats.

Regulation of protein secretion by crinophagy in perfused rat liver.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

We examined the secretion of three serum proteins, albumin (RSA), alpha 2 mu-globulin (alpha 2 mu G), and transferrin (Trf), in the isolated perfused liver. Within 4 h of perfusion, only 20 to 35% of previously synthesized proteins were secreted by the liver into the recirculating medium. Low temperature inhibited the secretion of alpha 2 mu G and Trf, but not RSA. The amount of RSA secreted by the liver increased twofold in the presence of leupeptin, a proteinase inhibitor, or primaquine, a weak base capable of neutralizing acidic compartments. Neither drug affected Trf secretion, while the release of alpha 2 mu G was enhanced threefold by primaquine treatment. Only 55 to 70% of the total amount of these serum proteins present in the liver at the onset of perfusion could be accounted for after 4 h of perfusion. Our evidence suggests that these losses are due to protein degradation. The degradation of RSA and alpha 2 mu G was inhibited at 15 degrees C and by both leupeptin and primaquine. Contrary, RSA degradation was not altered when livers were perfused at 20 degrees C. Morphological techniques combined with immunological probes were utilized to identify possible intracellular sites of RSA degradation. RSA and cathepsin L were colocalized to large vacuoles found near the cell periphery. Entry of RSA into these vacuoles occurred at 20 degrees C but not at 15 degrees C. Our results using perfused rat livers suggest that as much as 40% of hepatic serum proteins are degraded via fusion of secretory vesicles with lysosomes (e.g., crinophagy).
Listener Judgments of Motor-Perceptual Characteristics of Bisyllable Nonsense Words

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of subjects to judge the relative difficulty of articulating bisyllable nonsense words. Twenty-five trained listeners were instructed to listen to each of 240 nonsense words produced by one speaker and rate their ability to articulate the sequence. The 240 bisyllable words represented the combination of three vowels [i, ɑ, u] with each of 20 consonant sounds in each of four VCV stress-position configurations; the stress was on either the first or second syllable and the consonant served as either the final sound of the first syllable (VC) or as the initial sound of the second syllable (CV). A rating scale of 1 to 5 was used, 1 representing very easy, 5 representing very difficult. The median scale value for each of the 240 words by the 25 listeners was used as the criterion measure in most analyses; however, in certain instances, the method of graded dichotomies was used to obtain scale values. Relationships between the perceived difficulty of articulation and features such as place, manner, and voicing are discussed.
Study and optimization of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) to improve mass transfer and quality characteristics of candied green plums (Prunus mume)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Osmotic dehydration (OD) is the most important procedure for producing candied green plums. This study investigated high hydrostatic pressure treatment (HHP) to improve OD process. Central composite design was applied to optimize HHP parameters with pressure ranging from 50 to 400 MPa and time from 1 to 30 min. Innovative HPP procedure was compared with traditional heating treatments on the acceleration efficiency by Peleg’s model. The physico-chemical and sensorial properties were compared. The results showed that HHP was effective to accelerate the OD process, but was not as efficient as heating methods. HHP promoted higher titratable acid content, firmness and greener color than heating on the obtained product. Sensory results revealed that HHP allowed to better preserve the typical odor and flavor of the final products. Generally, HHP treatments show high potentiality to improve the OD performances of candied green plums, together with the overall quality of the final product. Practical applications: Candied green plum is a popular snack in Eastern Asian countries. The traditional process includes a heating assisted treatment in order to accelerate the candying progress, which may induce decrease to the quality of the final product. Non-thermal high hydrostatic pressure could improve the osmotic dehydration process performances, minimizing the thermal damages on the final products, promoting the improvement of its overall quality.
The Relevance of AOP to an Applications Programmer in an EJB Environment

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Many of the examples that are used to demonstrate the value of aspect-oriented programming are based on crosscutting concerns such as distribution support, remote access of objects, and synchronisation. Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), a standard component model for component transaction monitors (CTMs), provides inbuilt support for these concerns, thereby reducing the need for the applications programmer to be concerned about them. Does this make aspect-oriented programming irrelevant in an EJB environment? In this paper, we describe a distributed system developed using EJB where crosscutting concerns were managed by the EJB environment. The system is an eVoting system that allows students to vote online in Student Union elections in Trinity College
Behaviours monitoring and infections control in neonatal intensive care unit: how to improve ourselves?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Healthcare-associated infections are important events in neonatal intensive care unit. Hand hygiene is considered one of the most important procedures to control these complications. Methods: Healthcare workers procedures for patient’s approaching were directly monitored from February to April 2018 in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Istituto Giannina Gaslini, Genova, Italy. Number and type of total contacts with patients or “patient unit” (e.g.: ventilator, monitor, incubator) were recorded as well as errors related to lack of hand hygiene after and before performing procedures. Results: A total of 1040 actions were observed on patient or patient unit: 560 actions by nursing staff, 240 by residents and 240 by consultants. The most common misbehaviour was the “double touch” in nursing staff (30%), “glasses, hair or nose” in residents (35%), and “double touch” and “glasses hair or nose” in consultants (25% and 23% respectively). Conclusions: Extemporaneous contact as the more frequent potential “high risk” moment in patient care in NICU.
FOOT &amp; ANKLE INTERNATIONAL Copyright 2011 by the American Orthopaedic Foot &amp; Ankle Society DOI: 10.3113/FAI.2011.0659 Correction of Moderate to Severe Coronal Plane Deformity with the STAR

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Prior studies have demonstrated a correlation between the degree of preoperative coronal plane deformity and failure following ankle replacement. We reviewed all of our patients who underwent ankle replacement utilizing the STAR prosthesis from 2000 to 2009 to evaluate the outcome of those with moderate (10 to 19 degrees) and severe (20 degrees or greater) coronal plane deformity. Materials and Methods: Out of 130 consecutive patients, 43 patients had at least 10 degrees of preoperative coronal plane deformity. Twenty-five ankles had 10 to 19 degrees degrees of deformity and 18 ankles had 20 degrees or greater deformity. Average age was 66 years. Average length of followup was 41 (range, 12 to 98) months. Results: Average talar preoperative deformity was 17.9 (range, 10 to 29) degrees, while average initial talar postoperative deformity was 3.5
Solution Properties and Phase Behavior of Ammonium Hexylene Octyl Succinate in Water and Water-Oil System

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The solution properties and phase behavior of ammonium hexylene octyl succinate (HOS) was investigated in water and water-oil system. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of HOS is lower than that of anionic surfactants having same carbon number in the lipophilic part. The phase diagrams of a water/ HOS system and water/ HOS/ C10EO8/ dodecane system were also constructed. Above critical micelle concentration, the surfactant forms a normal micellar solution (Wm) at a low surfactant concentration whereas a lamellar liquid crystalline phase (La) dominates over a wide region through the formation of a two-phase region (La+W) in the binary system. The lamellar phase is arranged in the form of a biocompatible vesicle which is very significant for the drug delivery system. The surfactant tends to be hydrophilic when it is mixed with C10EO8 and a middle-phase microemulsion (D) is appeared in the water-surfactant-dodecane system where both the water and oil soluble drug ingredient can be incorporated in the form of a dispersion. Hence, mixing can tune the hydrophile-lipophile properties of the surfactant. Key words: Ammonium hexylene octyl succinate, mixed surfactant, lamellar liquid crystal, middle-phase microemulsion.

Immunohistological Study of Tonsil: Distribution of T Cell Subsets

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Employing a series of monoclonal antibodies directed against T cell subsets and the ABC (avidin-biotin complex) method as the immunoperoxidase technique, we studied the distribution of T cell subsets in frozen tissue sections of tonsils in 8 cases with various tonsillar lesions. Anti-Leu 1 and anti-Leu 4 antibodies, which react with all peripheral T cells, stained a majority of interfollicular cells and mononuclear cells in the lymphoepithelial symbiosis (LES). Approximately 80% of Leu 1+ and Leu 4+ cells were reactive with anti-Leu 3a antibody, which defines the helper/inducer T cell subset. Small lymphocytes in the mantle zone of the tonsillar follicle had IgD and IgM on their surface, whereas the cells in the germinal center showed membrane and/or cytoplasmic staining with anti-IgM serum. In addition, Leu 3a+ cells were found in the germinal center, especially on the capsular side showing a linear distribution. On the other hand, anti-Leu 2a antibody, which defines the suppressor/cytotoxic T cell subset, stained only a minority of lymphocytes in the interfollicular area and in the LES. Leu 2a+ cells were rarely found in the germinal centers. Anti-HLA-DR-positive cells were found with two types of staining pattern, i.e., with membrane staining found in the small lymphocytes in the mantle zone and the germinal center and with membrane and/or cytoplasmic staining found in large cells with dendritic processes in the germinal center, in the LES, and in the interfollicular areas. These findings demonstrate the presence of intimate cellular interactions in T cells, B cells, and macrophages in the tonsil, and indicate that immunohistological study of the tonsil may provide new insights into the pathogenesis of tonsillar lesions.
Integrated Health Monitoring of Transportation Structures with Magnetic Fe-SMA Wires

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this work, the magnetization response of FeMnAlNi superelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) is investigated under stress. Wires with a diameter of 0.5 mm were subjected to repeated abnormal grain growth heat treatments in order to obtain bamboo structured oligocrystalline grains that are necessary for superelasticity. Solution heat treated wires were aged at 200ºC for 3 h to strengthen the austenite matrix. Tensile cyclic tests were performed at room temperature until failure, while the magnetization response of the wires was monitored using a hall sensor during loading and unloading in each cycle. It is observed that after each cycle, overall magnetization of the alloy decreases once the irrecoverable strain is introduced after large deformations and magnetization of the sample is inversely correlated with the irrecoverable strain. The findings of this work show that the magnetic shift in Fe-SMAs under deformation can be used a health monitoring tool in next generation structures to detect large deformations and cracks.

Efficacy and Immunomodulating Properties of Eltrombopag in Aplastic Anemia following Autologous Stem Cell Transplant: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA) are currently indicated for the treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenia and relapsed refractory aplastic anemia. However, the off-label use of these drugs is more and more frequent, including in the setting of aplasia secondary to chemotherapy and hemopoietic stem cell transplant (SCT). Growing evidence suggests that mechanisms of action of TPO-RA go beyond the TPO-receptor stimulation and point at the immunomodulating properties of these drugs. Here, we present a case of prolonged bone marrow aplasia secondary to autologous SCT treated with eltrombopag. We describe the clinical efficacy and the immunomodulating effect of this drug on inflammatory cytokine profile and bone marrow histology. Furthermore, we provide a review of the most recent literature highlighting the efficacy and safety of TPO-RA after SCT and chemotherapy for hematologic conditions.
Performance of the CMS Level-1 Trigger during Commissioning with Cosmic Ray Muons

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The CMS Level-1 trigger was used to select cosmic ray muons and LHC beam events during data-taking runs in 2008, and to estimate the level of detector noise. This paper describes the trigger components used, the algorithms that were executed, and the trigger synchronisation. Using data from extended cosmic ray runs, the muon, electron/photon, and jet triggers have been validated, and their performance evaluated. Efficiencies were found to be high, resolutions were found to be good, and rates as expected.
Orthogonal Polynomials through Moment Generating Functionals

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

It is shown that if the linear functional w generates moments $\{ \mu _i \} _{i = 0}^\infty $ through the formula $\mu _i = \langle {w,x^i } \rangle $, $i = 0,1, \cdots $, then the Chebyshev polynomials $\{ p_i (x)\} _{i = 0}^\infty $ are orthogonal in the sense that $\langle {w,p_m p_n } \rangle = 0$ when $m \ne n$. In particular the Cauchy representations of the functionals associated with the Legendre, Jacobi and Bessel polynomials have this property when their action upon these polynomials is defined by a contour integral of sufficiently large radius.
