Abstract:
We report swimming Eastern Chipmunks, Tamias striatus, and a swimming Hairy-tailed Mole, Parascalops breweri, in southern Ontario in Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park. Although naturally swimming Eastern Chipmunks have been seen before, they have never been previously documented in the literature. Ours appears to be the first photograph of a swimming Hairy-tailed Mole and the first report of one successfully and apparently voluntarily swimming.

Abstract:
Thaddeus William Harris described the green mole of Maine, Condylura prasinata (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Talpidae), in the July 1825 issue of the Boston Journal of Philosophy and the Arts, and this was considered the original description of the species throughout most of the nineteenth century. In the early twentieth century, taxonomists began instead to cite an earlier notice in the June 1825 issue of the American Journal of Science and Arts. This short article also described the species, but also established a separate genus for it, Astromycter, despite Harris’s indications elsewhere that the species was congeneric with the star-nosed mole, Condylura cristata ( Linnaeus, 1758 ). Moreover, the American Journal of Science and Arts article cited as its source the “ Machias Star”, indicating the possibility of an even earlier description of the animal. With Astromycter prasinata in synonymy with C. cristata for over a century, little effort has been exerted to determine whether earlier source materials exist or why, within two months, the green mole was allocated to two different genera by its describer. The question is taxonomically relevant today because C. prasinata predates C. cristata nigra Smith, 1940 , as an available name for north-eastern populations of star-nosed moles. If subspecies of C. cristata are to be recognized, the north-eastern subspecies should correctly bear the name C. cristata prasinata. In fact, authority for both genus- and species-group names for the green mole have been misattributed since 1825. The descriptions of C. prasinata by Thaddeus William Harris in the Boston Journal of Philosophy and the Arts and American Journal of Science and Arts were preceded by at least three published descriptions of A. prasinatus by Thaddeus Mason Harris, his father.

Abstract:
The study was looking at achieving more cost-effective implementation of the Eastern Cape Thicket Rehabilitation Project. Project management has been identified as a key for a proper implementation of any kind of work. For project management to be effective, individual learning and development of project managers is of paramount importance. An improved communication process is vital, that clearly specifies objectives if any success will be achieved. A proper and structural way of addressing change is a need, so that no unnecessary delays are experienced. A need is there for processes to be streamlined to avoid duplications as they are unnecessary costs. Employees need to be given an opportunity to have their ideas looked at, a way of testing if they really have been empowered. The important thing is that their views must speak to the standards of the project. Reductions in costs are a must for more communities to benefit in the project. Continuous improvement is the way forward.

Weyl, Philip Sebastian Richard. ""Is more, less?" : insect-insect interactions in a biological control context using water hyacinth as a model." Thesis, Rhodes University, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1005410.

Full text
Abstract:
Interactions between insects have been shown to be important regulators of population abundances and dynamics as well as drivers of spatial segregation and distribution. These are important aspects of the ecology of insects used in biological control and may have implications for the overall success of a particular programme. In the history of biological control there has been a tendency to release a suite of agents against a weed, which in some cases has increased the level of success, while in others little change has been observed. In most of these cases the implications of increasing the level of complexity of the system is not taken into account and there is little research on the effect of releasing another agent into the system. A brief meta-analysis was done on all the biological control programmes initiated in South Africa. Emphasis was placed on multi-species releases and the effects that overlapping niches were having on the number of agents responsible for the success of a programme. Where overlapping niches were present among agents released the number of agents responsible for success was lower than the number established. Water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes (Martius) Solms-Laubach in South Africa has more arthropod agents released against it than anywhere else in the world, yet control has been variable. If the biology and host utilisation of all the agents against water hyacinth is considered, a definite overlap of niches is apparent in at least one life stage of all the agents. Therefore the probability of these insects interacting is high, especially if they are established at the same site in the field. Three of the insects released in South Africa have been selected to investigate possible interactions. They are Neochetina eichhorniae Warner, Neochetina bruchi Hustache and Eccritotarsus catarinensis (Carvalho). Y-tube olfactometer bioassays were used to measure responses of these insects to water hyacinth with prior feeding damage by either conspecifics or heterospecifics. This was done to determine whether olfactory cues played a role in host acceptability and avoidance of conspecifics or heterospecifics. The insects were given a choice between damaged and undamaged plants in various combinations. There was a significant preference for the undamaged plants when given a choice between undamaged and damaged plants. However when the insects were given a choice between two damaged plants there was no discrimination between heterospecific or conspecific damaged plants. This may indicate that there is little or no ecological cost for the insect to share a plant with other insects utilising a similar resource. Insect – insect interactions were investigated in a common garden plot experiment to measure the impact that pairwise combinations of the insect may have on their performance. There was a significant interaction between the mirid E. catarinensis and the weevil N. eichhorniae, with the weevil not performing as well when in combination with the mirid than when alone. Interestingly there was a negative interaction between the two weevil species when in combination, however it was impossible to determine which species was being affected if not both. None of the insects performed significantly better when in combination with another insect. A field study on Wriggleswade Dam in the Eastern Cape, South Africa was initiated to determine whether the relationship between the mirid E. catarinensis and the weevil N. eichhorniae could be determined in the field. The performance of the insects at the different sites in the field suggests that there was an interaction between the agents. This interaction did not limit the establishment of either insect at a site, but it did result in one insect dominating at a site over another. Interactions between the three species of insect tested in this thesis suggest that there are both negative and neutral relationships between them. A basic comparison between the insect performances from 15 sites around the country was done to determine if the spatial segregation observed in the field could be extrapolated to the natural South African situation. The interaction observed between N. eichhorniae and E. catarinensis does seem to extrapolate to the general South African situation where there is definite spatial segregation on a landscape level. The co–occurrence of the two Neochetina weevils at these sites suggests that the negative relationship observed between them in the common garden experiment does not extrapolate to the field. The results from this thesis suggest that the interactions between the agents tested would not limit establishment or have significant ramifications on performance. However, there may be spatial and temporal segregation of these species in the introduced range.

Abstract:
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that of all the live births per year no more than 10-15% of these should be delivered by caesarean section. Despite this recommendation there has been a global increase in the percentage of caesarean section deliveries over the past few decades. In South Africa the percentage is as high as 70% in certain health care institutions which is of concern to midwives. Caesarean section deliveries are needed when the life of the baby, mother or both are at stake. However, this method of delivery bears more disadvantages than advantages to the baby and mother. Despite these disadvantages, some women request a caesarean section in their birth plans while others are influenced by health professionals to request a caesarean section. Therefore, there is a need for labouring women to be guided where possible to have vaginal birth because of its many advantages. This study sought to explore and describe the perceptions of the midwives regarding their role in facilitating the choice of delivery mode for labouring women in public hospitals and midwifery obstetric units (MOUs) of the Nelson Mandela Bay and Sarah Baartman districts. Based on the results of the study, guidelines for midwives in this role were developed. Maputle’sWoman-Centred Childbirth Model (2010) was used as the theoretical lens through which this study was viewed. The researcher selected a quantitative survey design using an explorative, descriptive and contextual research approach. The population consisted of midwives who were working in labour wards at public hospitals and midwife-led MOUs. A non-probability convenience sample was used to collect data using a structured, self-administered questionnaire. The reliability and validity of the data collection instrument were ensured by using various means including a pre-test and an expert panel. Altogether, 300 questionnaires were distributed and 288 were returned. This number excluded the pilot study. Data was collected over a period of three months using the assistance of two fieldworkers. Data was captured and analysed under the supervision of the statistician and supervisors. Analysis was done by means of descriptive analyses that involved the production of frequencies and presented using charts, figures and tables. The major findings of the study are: -The midwives perceived themselves as the main facilitators of a suitable decision by the labouring woman for a safe delivery method - The midwives emphasised the importance of the delivery position preferred by the labouring woman -The midwives indicated that a collaboration between doctors, senior midwives, midwives and midwives in management positions could assist with a decision for a suitable delivery mode option. -The midwives agreed that the culture of the labouring woman should be considered when deciding on a delivery mode and therefore midwifery curriculum should include lessons about cultural diversity. Three principal guidelines were developed, namely: 1. Create an environment that promotes acceptance of a woman’s choice of a delivery mode. 2. Create an environment promoting a collaborative health care relationship 3. Create an environment that is sensitive to cultural needs in the maternity unit Ethical considerations in this study were upheld by maintaining the principles of beneficence, maleficence, autonomy and justice.

Abstract:
In his assessment of the theory development within international market entry mode, Cumberland (2006) outlines the importance of devoting more attention to the research linking the theoretical level and the operational level. Other researchers have shown the performance of a firm is highly affected by its internationalisation process and selecting the right entry mode is one of the most critical managerial decisions. Despite many years of interest from researchers, the entry choice strategy area is still considered a frontier issue. Researchers have suggested that managing risk is one of the major strategic objectives for managers of multinational firms. Furthermore, risk is regarded as a key determinant in relation to entry mode choice. Research has found that the various risk variables should be regarded as an integrated measure in relation to entry mode choice and not single measures. By looking at a single risk variable, the firm might analyse the situation incorrectly, which may lead to an incorrect entry mode. This study investigates the relationship between entry mode choice, perceived risk and risk tolerance for Danish firms entering Central and Eastern Europe by using a probabilistic model. The results indicate risk should be regarded as an integrated measure in relation to entry mode. Despite not all risk variables showing significant correlation with entry mode, some relations were found. The preferred model for predicting entry mode included years of CEE experience, number of competitors, cultural difference, consumer taste and future market potential. In addition, the analysis showed that Danish firms generally are relatively risk averse. Regardless of entry mode, the analysis showed that Danish firms regard CEE as politically stable and do not see a potential risk in government involvement in their activities. Furthermore, Danish firms experience relatively high and increasing competition in CEE, however, they indicate the same methods are available for marketing in CEE as in Denmark.

Abstract:

This study investigates if and to what extent there is a statistically significant predictive relationship between cultural distance, and its subfactors (power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism/collectivism, and masculinity/femininity), and entry mode by Western Europe MNE into Eastern Asia. Using transaction cost economic theory, the quantitative study with a predictive correlational design was conducted on 490 cross-border mergers and acquisitions by MNE from seven Western European countries entering five Eastern Asian countries from 2005 to 2015. Data for the entry mode criterion was obtained from SDC platinum and Hofstede?s cultural dimensions were used as predictors. Hierarchical multiple regression was conducted on entry mode and cultural distance as a construct, and hierarchical multiple regression was conducted on entry mode and four cultural dimensions. The findings indicate that cultural distance has an inverted U-shaped predictive relationship with entry mode, R2 = .024, p = .001. As cultural distance increases MNE managers tend to use a higher equity entry mode until reaching a point after which any further increase in cultural distance a lower equity entry mode was used. It was also found that uncertainty avoidance has a positive predictive relationship with entry mode, R2 = .010, F(1, 488) = 5.157, p = .024, B = .034, p = .024. Additionally, entry mode is best predicted by a model with uncertainty avoidance and power distance, R2 = .022, p = .004. These findings indicate that using unindexed cultural dimensions may also demonstrate a significantly predictive relationship while providing additional contextual information than can be found with an indexed cultural distance construct.

Abstract:
The arid conditions found in the west allow for the production of high quality hay for export. However, hay production in this region is highly dependent upon irrigation. There is significant interest in developing a hay export market in the eastern U.S. Therefore, a greater understanding of the challenges and opportunities with containerizing hay in high humidity environments is needed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of hay preservatives on the stability of containerized hay. Treatments included 1) propionic acid at baling, 2) propiopnic acid at baling + surface applied propionic acid at container loading, 3) propionic acid at baling + ammonization of the container after loading, and 4) no preservatives. Propionic acid was applied at a rate of 2.5 kg Mg-1 of hay at baling to all treatments except the control. Hay was then stored for 5 weeks before compressing to a density of 320.0 kg m-3. Immediately before containerizing hay, treatment 2 received a surface application of propionic acid at a rate of 3.4 g bale-1. After loading hay into containers, treatment 3 was ammoniated at a rate of 1.5 kg NH3 Mg-1 DM. Temperature and relative humidity in the containers were monitored for the 45-day storage period. Hay was sampled at compression and immediately after opening the containers. There were no treatment effects on nutritive value parameters after containerization (P > 0.05). Neither propionic acid at harvest, nor treatments at containerization had an effect on mold development in this study (P > 0.05).

Abstract:
Seasonal hydrologic extremes such as drought and floods have devastating impacts on human and natural systems (e.g. 2015-2017 Western Cape drought). Sentence has been reworded to: Therefore, the need for a reliable seasonal hydrologic forecast is significant and becoming even more urgent under future climate, as the assimilation of seasonal forecast information in decision making. Hence, SHF becomes part of the short and long-term climate change adaptation strategies in a range of contexts such as energy supply, water supply and management, rural-urban, agriculture, infrastructure and disaster preparedness and relief. This work deals with implementation and evaluation of the Pitman/Water Resources Simulation Model 2012 model (WR2012) in seasonal hydrological forecasting mode. The aim of the study is to improve the understanding of seasonal hydrological forecasting by evaluating the performance of a hydrological model (Pitman Model) in the seasonal forecast mode in Kraai River tertiary catchment (D13) as a case study and the objectives are: To determine steps to be undertaken to implement integration of Pitman in WR2012 configuration with climate forecast to generate seasonal hydrological forecast and to evaluate the performance of the model forced by climate model data in the simulation and forecast mode. Pitman model in the WR2012 version works with a specific rainfall dataset spanning the period of 1920-2009. Operationalizing the seasonal hydrological forecast with Pitman model requires, therefore, updating of the WR2012 rainfall so that it extends to-date. To achieve that, two datasets were evaluated: Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station Data (CHIRPS), which is a satellite-based gridded rainfall dataset, and rain gauge-based dataset from South African Weather Service (SAWS). The analyses revealed that CHIRPS rainfall data had better correlation and lower bias with respect to the WR2012 data when compared with SAWS rainfall data for the overlap period 1981-2009. The CHIRPS data showed no significant difference from the WR2012 in all the three rainfall zones of the Kraai River catchment. Therefore, CHIRPS data were used to extend the WR2012 data and were used as input to set up Pitman model/WR2012 in the seasonal hydrological forecasting mode. The Pitman/WR2012 model was forced with 10 ensemble seasonal climate forecast from Climate Forecast Systems v.2 which is downscaled using the Principal Components Regression (PCR) approach. The generated seasonal hydrological forecast focused on the summer season, in particular on the Dec-Jan-Feb (DJF) period, which is the rainy season in the catchment. The hydrological forecast showed skills more especially in Dec and Feb (assessed through ROC and RPSS forecast verification methods) with Jan having a poor skill. Importantly, the skill of streamflow forecast was better than that of rainfall forecast, which likely results from the influence of initial conditions of the hydrological model. In conclusion Pitman/WR2012 model can perform realistically when implemented in seasonal hydrological forecasts mode, and it is important that in that model, the model is run with near real time rainfall data in order to achieve good initial conditions. However, the results in terms of forecast skill are specific to the studied catchment and analysed forecast, and skill of forecast in any other catchment has to be investigated separately.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract High viscosity friction reducers (HVFRs) have been recently gaining more attention and increasing in use, not only as friction-reducing agents but also as proppant carriers. Reusing of produced water has also been driven by both environmental and economic benefits. In Marcellus Shale regions, slickwater fracturing fluids are commonly used, which reduce the number of fluid additives required and foster high retained conductivity but require high water volumes and pumping rate. In contrast, HVFRs can also exhibit high retained conductivity with less water and horsepower required and much more other operational and economical advantages. Currently, most friction reducers on the market are anionic friction reducers, which are fully compatible with most produced water with low to medium level of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) but show significant decreasing at high TDS conditions in term of their friction reduction performance in most cases. Concerns remain about performances of using anionic HVFRs with produced water to transport proppant. The ultimate objective of this experimental study is to investigate whether increasing loading of the anionic HVFR can compensate the side effects of high TDS and temperature in Marcellus Shale formation. Anionic HVFRs at 4, 6, and 8 gallons per thousand gallons (GPT) were selected and analyzed. The rheology measurement of different concentrations of anionic HVFRs were conducted with deionized (DI) water, high TDS Marcellus Shale formation water, and 30,000 mg/L NaCl solution at temperature of 60 °C. Static and dynamic proppant settling tests were conducted with various HVFR concentrations at high TDS and temperature conditions. The results showed that high TDS and temperature decreased the viscous and elastic profiles of the anionic HVFR. In particular, the elastic profile became negligible. Differences between monovalent and divalent cations effects on the rheology properties and proppant transport capability of the anionic HVFR were also negligible at high TDS and temperature conditions. Increasing loading of the anionic HVFR had very limited effects on improving its rheology properties and further proppant transport capabilities at Marcellus Shale formation conditions. Therefore, future study can be focused on modifying proppant, such as sizes and concentrations, and slurry injection rate to get better fracturing results in Marcellus Shale formation.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the hydraulic fracturing treatment design, including cluster spacing and fracturing fluid volume on the hydraulic fracture properties and consequently, the productivity of a horizontal Marcellus Shale well with multi-stage fractures. The availability of a significant amount of advanced technical information from the Marcellus Shale Energy and Environment Laboratory (MSEEL) provided an opportunity to perform an integrated analysis to gain valuable insight into optimizing fracturing treatment and the gas recovery from Marcellus shale. The available technical information from a horizontal well at MSEEL includes well logs, image logs (both vertical and lateral), diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT), fracturing treatment data, microseismic recording during the fracturing treatment, production logging data, and production data. The analysis of core data, image logs, and DFIT provided the necessary data for accurate prediction of the hydraulic fracture properties and confirmed the presence and distribution of natural fractures (fissures) in the formation. Furthermore, the results of the microseismic interpretation were utilized to adjust the stress conditions in the adjacent layers. The predicted hydraulic fracture properties were then imported into a reservoir simulation model, developed based on the Marcellus Shale properties, to predict the production performance of the well. Marcellus Shale properties, including porosity, permeability, adsorption characteristics, were obtained from the measurements on the core plugs and the well log data. The Quanta Geo borehole image log from the lateral section of the well was utilized to estimate the fissure distribution s in the shale. The measured and published data were utilized to develop the geomechnical factors to account for the hydraulic fracture conductivity and the formation (matrix and fissure) permeability impairments caused by the reservoir pressure depletion during the production. Stress shadowing and the geomechanical factors were found to play major roles in production performance. Their inclusion in the reservoir model provided a close agreement with the actual production performance of the well. The impact of stress shadowing is significant for Marcellus shale because of the low in-situ stress contrast between the pay zone and the adjacent zones. Stress shadowing appears to have a significant impact on hydraulic fracture properties and as result on the production during the early stages. The geomechanical factors, caused by the net stress changes have a more significant impact on the production during later stages. The cumulative gas production was found to increase as the cluster spacing was decreased (larger number of clusters). At the same time, the stress shadowing caused by the closer cluster spacing resulted in a lower fracture conductivity which in turn diminished the increase in gas production. However, the total fracture volume has more of an impact than the fracture conductivity on gas recovery. The analysis provided valuable insight for optimizing the cluster spacing and the gas recovery from Marcellus shale.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The paper considers the problematics of identifying proper analogues for understanding carbonate and clastic reservoir distribution and prediction in the Lower Permian and Upper and Lower Carboniferous within the Dnieper-Donets basin. The focus of the exploration team was finding meandering rivers. This choice was proven good in mapping reservoirs and finding traps deeper in the Upper and Middle Carboniferous, although for Permian clastic section the approach was not helpful. The second option was desert dunes, but poor sorting of reservoirs suggests a more complex picture. Analogues such as desert environment is quite logical for describing Lower Permian as aridic climate, with red and brown shales and sands. Lower Permian reservoirs have a moon-like shape in the vertical sections that could be easily mistaken for river channels, but in such a dry climate, it is very likely water flow channels with sporadic hurricane-related activities. Core and logs shows chaotic grain sizes, but more with fine grains with almost no coarse grains. The source of sedimentary material could be mountains of Ukrainian Rock Shield from the South and Voronezh massif from the North. This conceptual model is proposing not to look for meandering channels, but more for braided channels with poorly sorted material. The current time analogue could be the Oman desert between the mountains and peninsula. From satellite images, braided channels are clearly visible in the direction towards the Indian Ocean. The channels’ internal structure is quite heterogeneous. This method suggests exploration targets with possible widths of the channels as big as hundreds of meters and their lengths under 10 and between 10-20 kilometres maximum.

"The Impact of Formation and Fracture Properties Alterations on the Productivity of the Multi-Stage Fractured Marcellus Shale Horizontal Wells." In SPE Eastern Regional Meeting. SPE, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/211892-ms.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract As the reservoir deplete, the pore pressure decreases and the effective stress increases. The increase in the effective stress results in the formation compaction which can alter the formation and hydraulic fracture properties. This is particularly significant for a Marcellus shale horizontal well with multi-stage hydraulic fracture due to low Young's modulus and moderate Poisson's ratio of the Marcellus shale. The degree of effective stress increase depends on the initial productivity of the well, which is influenced by the hydraulic fracture properties, stage spacing, as well as the operating conditions. It is therefore necessary to couple the geomechanical and fluid flow simulations to accurately predict the gas production from a horizontal Marcellus Shale well with multi-stage fractures. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the formation mechanical properties (Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio), the hydraulic fracture properties (length, initial conductivity, spacing), as well as operating conditions (wellbore pressure) on the productivity of a horizontal Marcellus Shale well with multi-stage fractures. The advanced technical information available from the Marcellus Shale horizontal wells located at the Marcellus Shale Energy and Environment Laboratory (MSEEL) site provided an opportunity to investigate the impact of the shale compressibility on gas production. The core, well log, well test, completion, stimulation, and production data from the wells at MSEEL site were utilized to estimate the shale mechanical and petrophysical properties as well as the hydraulic fracture characteristics. The results of the data analysis were then utilized to develop a reservoir model for a horizontal well completed in Marcellus Shale with multi-stage hydraulic fractures. A geomechanical (Mohr-Coulomb) module was coupled with reservoir model to determine the effective stress distribution and the formation compaction and its impact on the shale porosity. The impact of the shale compaction on the permeability (for both matrix and fissure) and the conductivity of the hydraulic fractures were determine from the Marcellus shale core plug analysis as well as the published measurements on the propped fracture conductivity in Marcellus shale and were incorporated in the reservoir model. The inclusion of the compressibility impacts in the reservoir model provided a more realistic simulated production profile. The gas recovery was found to be negatively impacted by the formation compaction due to the increase in the effective stress. The reduction in the conductivity of the hydraulic fractures due to the compressibility impact was found to have the most adverse effect on the gas recovery. The compressibility impacts were found to be more severe during the early production due to higher production rates. Finally, the model was employed to investigate the impact of the formation mechanical properties, hydraulic fracture properties, and the operating conditions on the gas recovery. The higher values of the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio can mitigate the compressibility impacts and lead to higher recovery. Conversely, the higher values of the fracture half-length as well as the closer fracture spacing will amplify the adverse impacts of the compressibility on the early gas recovery. However, the adverse impacts diminishes with time. The higher values of the initial hydraulic fracture conductivity can also mitigate the compressibility impacts.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract In Poland there are approximately 60 oil fields located in different geological structures. Most of these fields have been producing for several years to several dozen years, and now require redefining of the development plan by utilizing an improved oil recovery (IOR) or enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method to achieve a higher oil recovery factor. Here we present the redevelopment plan for the Polish Main Dolomite oil field, that aimed to optimize and maximize the oil recovery factor. Considering all available geological and reservoir data, both a static and dynamic model were built and calibrated for three separate reservoirs connected to the same production facility. Then the comprehensive study was performed where different development scenarios was considered and tested using reservoir numerical simulation. The proposed redevelopment scenarios included excessive gas reinjection to the main reservoir, additional high-nitrogen (N2) gas injection from a nearby gas reservoir (87% of N2), carbon dioxide (CO2) injection, water injection, polymer injection, water-alternating-gas (WAG), well stimulation, and a combination of these methods. Development plans assumes also drilling new injection and production wells and converting existing producers to gas or water injectors. The key component in development scenarios was to arrest the pressure decline from the main field and decrease the gas/oil ratio (GOR). An additional challenge was to implement in the simulation model all key assumptions behind various development scenarios, while also taking into account specific facility constraints and simultaneously handling separate reservoirs that are connected to the same facility, and hence affecting each other. From numerous scenarios, the scenario that requires the least number of new wells was selected and further optimized. It considers the drilling of only one new producer, one new water injector, and conversion of some currently producing wells to gas and water injectors. The location of the proposed well and the amount of injection fluids was optimized to achieve the highest oil recovery factor and to postpone gas and water breakthrough as much as possible. The optimized case that assumes low investments is expected to improve incremental oil production by 90% over No Further Actions Scenario. However, the study suggests the potential of more than tripling incremental oil production under a scenario with considerably higher expenditures. The improved case assumes drilling one more producer, four new water injectors, and injection of three times more water. The presented field optimization example highlights that in many existing Polish oil fields there is still a potential to reach higher oil recovery without considerable expenditures. However, to obtain more significant oil recovery improvement, higher capital expenditure is necessary. To facilitate the selection of the best development scenario, a detailed economic and risk analysis needs to be conducted.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Hydrocarbon recovery from conventional reservoirs is currently at a declining rate, thus, the petroleum industry needs to find ways to economically produce hydrocarbon from mature and marginal oilfields in conventional reservoirs. Non-conventional well technology can enable the oil industry to do so. This study investigated how a novel non-conventional well technology coupled with a geomechanical approach can potentially improve hydrocarbon recovery from mature fields. Here, we utilized data from Brown field XX located in North Africa, and it is composed of distinct geological formations. One of the formations, "Upper Gir," is an ideal candidate for the application of the non-conventional well technology. We used a reservoir simulator (SURE) to create a dynamic model by incorporating geomechanical tools from a static model previously built using Petrel software. SURE was used to model five simulation scenarios, with each scenario featuring a different well type. The scenarios simulated are the base case, do-nothing, vertical wells, horizontal wells, and multi-lateral wells. The model developed in this study forecasted 25 years of oil production for each simulation scenario and analyzed the results. The results of our numerical simulation study revealed that for 25 years, the multilateral wells produced +0.9% and +0.5% more hydrocarbon than the conventional wells and the horizontal wells, respectively. We also observed a reduction in the average water-cut from 25% to 20% (achieved in the conventional-well scenario) and from 23% to 20% (achieved in the horizontal-well scenario). Our proposed non-conventional well technology has shown promising potentials to improve hydrocarbon recovery, stabilize reservoir pressure, economic returns, and eliminate the risk of water conning in mature fields.

Full text
Abstract:
Research from the ClimVis Europe project shows that climate information must be presented in more effective ways to reduce climate risks and support adaptation. Users need information that is easy to access, in their own language, and designed to help them make connections between real-time weather events and long-term climate developments. Users of weather and climate data in Europe are aware of only a few (if any) relevant, available tools that provide them with the insights into current, future and long-term meteorological trends that they seek. However, efforts to boost awareness of available tools, while important, will not be enough to meet user demands. Providers of climate information need to consult with stakeholders to co-develop new tools to meet needs and support the uptake of information. Existing European tools have two key shortcomings: limited language and insufficient context. The provision of climate information exclusively in English excludes many users (especially at local and regional levels and in Eastern Europe and Russia). Tools do not link real-time extreme weather with long-term past or future climate trends; such connections are essential to assess climate change-related impacts and adaptation needs. We interpret the results as a call to action, to enhance related communication that is fundamental to the need to reduce climate risks and support adaptation.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review examines evidence on the structural causes and drivers of gender inequalities in the Eastern Neighbourhood region and how these gender inequalities contribute to instability in the region. While the Eastern Neighbourhood region performs relatively well on gender equality compared with the rest of the world, women and girls continue to face systemic political and economic marginalisation and are vulnerable to gender-based violence. Research on Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Moldova identifies the key underlying cause to be a set of traditional patriarchal gender norms, intersecting with conservative religious identities and harmful customary practices. These norms do not operate in isolation: the literature highlights that gender inequalities are caused by the interplay of multiple factors (with women’s unequal economic resources having a critical effect), while overlapping disadvantages affect lived experiences of inequalities. Other key factors are the region’s protracted conflicts; legal reform gaps and implementation challenges; socio-economic factors (including the impact of COVID-19); and governance trends (systemic corruption, growing conservatism, and negative narratives influenced by regional geopolitics). Together these limit women and girls’ empowerment; men and boys are also affected negatively in different ways, while LGBT+ people have become a particular target for societal discrimination in the region. Global evidence – showing that more gender unequal societies correlate with increased instability – provides a frame of reference for the region’s persistent gender inequalities.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review explores socio-economic and political issues that may affect the effectiveness of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor (CMAR). It specifically focuses on key socioeconomic and governance issues around marine protected areas (MPAs) and exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Panama based in the Eastern Tropical Pacific ocean. Research highlights the importance of understanding perceptions and context in environmental governance analyses and practice (Partelow, Jäger & Schlüter, 2021); and MPAs are increasingly recognised as being embedded in social-ecological systems, where human dimensions (e.g., social, economic, cultural, political, and institutional) interact with ecological characteristics (Burbano & Meredith, 2020, p.2). How do you define the effectiveness of an MPA is another key question to consider (but not explored in detail in this review). Bearing in mind that most MPAs have multiple objectives, including non-biological, which highlights the need for the development and adoption of standardised effectiveness metrics beyond biological considerations to measure factors contributing to their success or failure (Giakoumi et al., 2018). For example, there are growing calls for marine conservation success to move beyond area coverage to include a broader set of metrics related to the effective and equitable management of the marine environment (see Bennett et al., 2021). Hence, the more information the better when establishing integrated, well-designed and connected MPAs – for example, the more information on a sea area, the coastal populations and their socio-ecological relationships, the better stressors, systemic impacts and inter-annual variabilities can be identified, and the more effective protection can be developed (Relano, Palomares & Pauly, 2021, p.13).

Full text
Abstract:
North-eastern Neo-Aramaic (also known as NENA) languages and literature are a prosperous and encouraging field of research. They abound with oral traditions and expressions that incorporate various spoken forms including everyday language, tales, songs, chants, prayers, proverbs, and more. These are used to transfer culture, knowledge, and community values. Some types of oral forms are idioms and fixed expressions. Idioms are extremely problematic to translate for a number of reasons, including: cultural and linguistic differences between languages; their specific connection to cultural practices and interpretations, and the difficulty of transferring the same meanings and connotations into another language with accuracy. This paper explores how to define and classify idioms, and suggests specific strategies and procedures to translate idioms from the NENA dialect Bartella (a local Aramaic dialect in Nineveh Plain) into English – as proposed by Baker (1992: 63–78). Data collection is based on 15 idioms in Bartella dialect taken from the heritage play Khlola d baretle teqta (Wedding in the old Bartella). The findings revealed that only three strategies are helpful to transfer particular cultural conceptualisations: using an idiom of similar meaning and form; using an idiom of similar meaning but different form, and translation by paraphrasing. Based on the findings, the author provides individuals and institutions with suggestions on how to save endangered languages and dialects, particularly with regard to the religious minorities’ heritage. Key among these recommendations is encouraging researchers and scholars to direct translation projects and activities towards preserving minority languages with their oral heritage and cultural expressions, which are susceptible to extinction.

Abstract:
The quality of political inclusion of ethnic minorities1 in the Eastern Neighbourhood remains a significant challenge, despite institutions in place to promote the rights of national minorities and various programming designed to foster inclusion. This rapid review surveys donor, academic and NGO literature in this field. Literature on addressing the political exclusion of ethnic minorities is limited, with discussion of donor interventions even more sparse. The report thus draws on government initiatives; and on recommendations based on the country situation and international experience, which are not necessarily based on specific programming. There was greater information on Georgia and Moldova, than on Armenia (reflected in the sub-section country titles). In addition, there is limited discussion of programming to address the political exclusion of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees in the region. As such the report relies in part on general research and guidance on IDPs and refugees from a global perspective, including discussion of a few examples of initiatives outside of the Eastern Neighbourhood.

This paper explores the core challenges and opportunities of the Europeanization processes taking place in Belarus and Armenia. It argues that despite the constraining effects of “competing governance provider” Russia, the interests, perceptions, and preferences of the domestic elites are critical to the implementation of the EU policies in Belarus and Armenia. Thus, it offers a more dynamic structure- agency interplay approach to account for the dynamics of Europeanization in the EU-Russia contested neighbourhood. The article enquires into integration without membership dynamics between the EU and Eastern neighbours in the light of the Russian-dominated Eurasian integration.

Full text
Abstract:
Cocoa production has a long history in Ghana, originating in the late nineteenth century. Since then, cocoa production has seen significant changes. Originally, cocoa was cultivated in newly cleared forests in which many forest trees were preserved as shade trees. Cocoa is ideally suited to these conditions and produces high yields with minimum investment in labour and inputs. However, over time, as the forest conditions change, the cost of cultivating cocoa has increased and yields have declined. As long as new forest frontiers exist, farmers have continued to move into these areas, which have displaced older areas of cultivation, since the costs of production are significantly lower in the new frontiers. In recent years, however, new forest frontiers have declined and most cocoa farmers have been forced to rehabilitate and replant cocoa in open land. This study examines the rational of frontier development; changes in land relations, labour relations and use of technology; and the impact of these factors on different categories of farmers, including women and youth. This is developed through two comparative case studies drawn from the older cocoa frontier of the Eastern Region, and the more recent frontier of Western North Region.

Velocity field in the McMurdo shear zone from annual ground penetrating radar imaging and crevasse matching. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), December 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/42623.

Full text
Abstract:
The McMurdo shear zone (MSZ) is strip of heavily crevassed ice oriented in the south-north direction and moving northward. Previous airborne surveys revealed a chaotic crevasse structure superimposed on a set of expected crevasse orientations at 45 degrees to the south-north flow (due to shear stress mechanisms). The dynamics that produced this chaotic structure are poorly understood. Our purpose is to present our field methodology and provide field data that will enable validation of models of the MSZ evolution, and here, we present a method for deriving a local velocity field from ground penetrating radar (GPR) data towards that end. Maps of near-surface crevasses were derived from two annual GPR surveys of a 28 km² region of the MSZ using Eulerian sampling. Our robot-towed and GPS navigated GPR enabled a dense survey grid, with transects of the shear zone at 50 m spacing. Each survey comprised multiple crossings of long (> 1 km) crevasses that appear in echelon on the western and eastern boundaries of the shear zone, as well as two or more crossings of shorter crevasses in the more chaotic zone between the western and eastern boundaries. From these maps, we derived a local velocity field based on the year-to-year movement of the same crevasses. Our velocity field varies significantly from fields previously established using remote sensing and provides more detail than one concurrently derived from a 29-station GPS network. Rather than a simple velocity gradient expected for crevasses oriented approximately 45 degrees to flow direction, we find constant velocity contours oriented diagonally across the shear zone with a wavy fine structure. Although our survey is based on near-surface crevasses, similar crevassing found in marine ice at 160 m depth leads us to conclude that this surface velocity field may hold through the body of meteoric and marine ice. Our success with robot-towed GPR with GPS navigation suggests we may greatly increase our survey areas.
