Abstract In 1955, Paris Police Commissioner Guy Isnard curated the exhibition Le Faux dans l'art et dans l'histoire at the Grand Palais in Paris. Featuring a wide variety of forgeries, most notably counterfeit sculptures and paintings, the exhibition was an occasion to showcase the anti-counterfeiting efforts of the National Police. But in the broader context of the politically and economically weakened Fourth Republic, more was at stake. In the immediate postwar period, French society was steeped in uncertainty and a growing fear of inauthenticity, fueled by rumors of currency manipulation by foreign powers, the perceived corruption of the French language by an increasingly influential English, and anti-Americanism in intellectual and political circles. In this environment, the organizers of the exhibition called upon culture, and art in particular, to reaffirm a strict distinction between truth and falsity while also establishing France as the uncontested guardian of truth. This essay shows that Le Faux dans l'art et dans l'histoire constituted a crucial threshold moment in twentieth-century French history, both as an attempt to preserve a rapidly fading vision of truth and originality and as a prefiguration of aesthetic and philosophical debates to come.

Full textAbstract:
The essay argues that Charlotte Brontë's Villette (1853) grapples with the role of things in the constitution of persons. It is a paradigmatic novel about the fortunes of private, psychological interiority under commodity culture; its immediate context is the empire of things after the Great Exhibition of 1851. Villette represents subjectivity as a cabinet of curiosities, an interior–like a parlor–filled with intensely meaningful, even fetishized, bibelots. Lucy, the novel's narrator, longs to retreat from the public spectacles of commodity culture but, ironically, finds her identity also through relations with things. The novel suggests that bourgeois subjectivity, though it points to a thorough intimacy with objects, is paradoxically defined by the nostalgic notion that true interiority has been beset by or even lost to the pressure of things.

Full textAbstract:
In the spring of 1946, Jean Dubuffet presented the series Mirobolus, Macadam et Cie/Hautes Pâtes at the Gallery René Drouin. This exhibition has rightly been cast as a breakthrough event in the cultural landscape of the immediate post-war period; it was the first public unveiling of Dubuffet’s matter painting and the press erupted with cries of ‘cacaïsme’ and ‘peinture à la merde’, pronouncing him a ‘peintre en excréments’. The critical reception of this exhibition is part of the historical record. This article examines the popular (and even less sanitised) reception of Dubuffet’s contentious hautes pâtes, as recorded in several completely overlooked documents from the period, most notably the exhibition’s ‘livre d’or’ or Guest Book. Littered with swastikas and the francile, the insignia of Pétain’s collaborationist regime, the anonymous comments inscribed in the pages of the Guest Book charge Dubuffet with ‘décadence totale’, characterising his art as ‘judéo-décadent’. Despite the fact that the series avoids any reference to contemporary events, the materiality of his work raised anxious references to the polemic on decadence waged during the Occupation as well as to the post-war political purges of Nazi collaborators.

Full textAbstract:
Canton Express was a project situated within the larger exhibition Zone of Urgency in the Venice Biennale in 2003. It was the first comprehensive exhibition focusing on the relationship of urbanization and cultural landscape in the Pearl River Delta and presented on an international platform. Since the open-door policy in 1979, the Pearl River Delta played a pioneering role in China’s economic reform and urbanization throughout the 1980s and 1990s. This was resulted with unprecedent transformation of the cityscape and inhabitants’ lifestyle. More importantly, it defined the artistic context and character of the southern region uniquely from other parts of China, providing an opportunity for an alternative narrative in the discourse of contemporary Chinese art. Taking Canton Express as a case to reflect the uncanny observations and immediate responses among the fourteen participating artists and collectives on the new reality brought by urbanization and economic development which may, however, conflicted with the socialist-communist political ideology. And such tension nevertheless triggered a collective consciousness in the artistic community and their traits of flexibility, openness and self-autonomy to seek for an artistic identity independent from the existing narrative of contemporary Chinese art legitimized by the officials for biennales held inside and outside China. On this note, the essay will point out Canton Express proposed an interdisciplinary curatorial methodology for positioning ‘urbanism’ in the discourse. It will also provide examples of how it was instituted into the official system, expanding the multiplicity of contemporary Chinese art other than the market and political symbols, and shifted attention to art productions from a local perspective with global resonance. Through Canton Express and curatorial projects held afterwards, this essay attempts to prompt future research and discussion on qualities and conditions for artistic production and circulation of Chinese art in a world emerging from the COVID-19.

Full textAbstract:
As an architect with the London County Council (LCC), a newspaper columnist, friend of artists and an incipient collector, Colin St John Wilson is a fascinating figure in the interacting circles of 1950s London. It was Wilson’s sketch-plan that ordered the ‘market-stalls’ of the This is Tomorrow exhibition and – in the opinion of Theo Crosby – the display he created with architect Peter Carter, engineer Frank Newby and sculptor Robert Adams most closely achieved the exhibition’s original aim of an anonymous synthesis of the arts. In this article, the author interprets Wilson’s life, work and theory as both critique and commentary in an examination of three pertinent issues within the Independent Group: the possibilities of artistic collaboration in architecture; the creative tension in architecture between science/technology and art/humanism; and the potential for a deeper psychologising of space – linked to psychoanalytical debates of the time. Interrogating these concerns is of importance, the author proposes, as they were so central to the discourses and form-making of architecture both at the time and in the immediate futures of the 1960s, the 1970s and afterwards.

The European reaction of the leading architects towards the period of international style, “The idea of style has yet again become up-to-date. The modern style, covering the whole world, is uniform and coherent...” [4], promoted at the exhibition “Modernist architecture” organized in Museum of Art in New York by architects Henry Russell Hitchcock and Philips Johnson, was immediate. The leading European architects: a) Walter Gropius wrote: “The aim of Bauhaus was not to promote one particular style...” [4], b) Le Corbusier formulated “Fundamental principles of aesthetics” [4], c) Bruno Taut wrote: “Five assumptions of new architecture” [4]. The message that “The form follows the function” became the very principle of modernism. The year 1972, when the blocks of flats in St. Louis, US were blown up, and the year of the actual end of the ideology originating from CIAM, is the agreed time marked as the end of modernism. It was a few years after Le Corbusier’s death (1965) - the death of the unchallenged spiritual ideologist of modernism.

Full textAbstract:
To dwell and to build is not an art, is not a technique, but a realm where things belong. This is a statement addressed by Heidegger in Bauen Wohnen Denken, his text more connected with architecture that is more contemporary than ever. In effect, two questions as What is it to dwell? and How does building belong to dwelling? are intertwined with others like How to dwell in the current world? and How to give form to the quality of dwelling? The responses should point out again to Heideggerian’s line of thought: ‘Only if we are capable of dwelling, only then can we build’. He pushes the argument to the limit adding that dwelling is to conciliate ‘earth’, ‘heaven’, ‘the mortals’ and ‘the gods’ (the divine). To dwell and to build should be the preservation of such square. It is remarkable that Heidegger’s writings on this topic, that stimulated and still stimulate the architectural debate, were strongly influenced by the philosopher’s life in the Schwarzwald, close to the village of Todtnauberg. In Heidegger’s Hut (Adam Scharr) the hut in which Heidegger lived in for five decades, since he ordered its construction in 1922, is described, as well as the bonds he created with the landscape and all environment. The hut was a place for him to dwell and to think, because both belong together and were mutually influencing body, feelings and sense of place. And if Norberg-Shulz left the phenomenological legacy of the genius loci as the spirit of the place, with its particular atmosphere and fundamental implications for building, genius loci within Heidegger’s thoughts on building, dwelling and thinking recall the sense of protection and of sacredness of a place like the one called home. Life in balance with the spirit of the place showed Heidegger that the emotional space is measured very differently from space measured mathematically. And to build and to dwell are activities with a significant order that resonates in mind, body and spirit.
 For phenomenology, place is not just the geographic or topographic location, but consists of effective elements such as materials, form, texture, colour, light, shadow playing together. The interdependence of all those elements, along with others allows the opportunity for some spaces, with identical functions, to express diverse architectural features and therefore countlessatmospheres to perceive, enjoy and cherish. ‘Sometimes I can almost feel a particular door handle in my hand, a piece of metal shaped like the back of a spoon. I used to take hold of it when I went into my aunt’s garden. That door handle still seems to me like a special sign of entry into a world of different moods and smells. I remember the sound of the gravel under my feet, the soft gleam of the waxed oak staircase, I can hear the heavy front door closing behind me as I walk along the dark corridor and enter the kitchen, the only really brightly lit room in the house’, confesses Peter Zumthor.
 On the shoulders of these inspiring ideas and experiences, the plot for the 5th number of Sophia was designed. It called original articles that discuss the core of interiority in architecture as a matter open to diverse ideas and practices in the realm of built space to be experienced by its dwellers. Interiority to be argued as a dimension that differentiates a place of a non-place. The non-places are spots with which the individual does not create any relation; they are transit- places without memory, identity, history, personal construction, references, emotions of which solace is not a minor one. Interiority claims that kind of space that accommodates thoughts, dreams, nightmares, intimacy, changes, silence, noise, neurosis...life. Shelter, shape, place, atmosphere portray scenarios that enhance experiences, events, occurrences beyond the functionalistic rhetoric enveloping them.
 All the texts that compose this issue display the strong insights the authors chose to approach the proposed topic. They trigger new thoughts and new questions. Three articles and an interview appear as the hard core of this volume.
 Preserving heritage through new narratives: designing a guesthouse within a cross-disciplinary team from Pedro Bandeira Maia and Raul Pinto discusses a very demanding design program of transformation of an interior space from a former pharmacy to a guest house in a historical building from the nineteenth century. The article exposes the methodology followed by a cross disciplinary team debating the project’s narrative illustrated with very expressive images.
 The role of architecture in an engaging and meaningful experience of the physical exhibition from Bárbara Coutinho and Ana Tostões evolves from the main argument that the physical exhibition is the immediate way to encounter the arts in line with the phenomenological understanding of the aesthetic experience. It recalls the inspiring role of exhibition designs of Frederick Kiesler, Franco Albini and Lina Bo Bardi as examples to contrast with the growing process of digitalisation and dematerialisation of the involvement with art. Authors address then the reasons why for contemporary times it is important that an exhibition is designed to be a physical matter between spectators and art.
 The need for Shelter. Laugier, Ledoux, and Enlightenment’s shadows from Rui Aristides and José António Bandeirinha discourses about the human need for shelter as the essence that defines the discipline of architecture. This approach is developed within an historical framework, namely referring the legacy of Laugier and Ledoux intertwined with philosophical and political issues.Based upon these reasoning, the authors go further and tackle the architecture’s role regarding shelter in contemporary times.
 The interview The Power of Imagination made to Danish Designer Hans Thyge is an exciting journey to pertinent themes thought from the professional practice of a designer who after 30 years in design still believes in the use of a pencil and a paper to sketch and to imagine. ‘Interiors’ is central in this storytelling as a challenge to create spatial experiences and staging atmospheres. Also his own house, designed by him, is a key moment to make special considerations regarding dwelling and building.
 We are very thankful for authors’ contributions and vivid minds.

Full textAbstract:
Fifty exceptional works of Andrea del Verrocchio (1435-1488) are on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. This important exhibit has sculpture, paintings and drawings of one of the most important Renaissance Masters of the fourteenth century. While considered foremost a master sculptor along with Donatello and Michelangelo, he was also noted for his important innovations in painting. As teacher, his workshop was the most important in Florence, and included the young Leonardo da Vinci, Pietro Perugino and Sandro Botticelli. His David and Boy with Dolphin are just of few of the masterpieces included in this important exhibition, which covers a full range of his contributions and will remain on view until January 12, 2020. This is the only opportunity to see this powerful collection in this country as it returns immediately to Italy.

Full textAbstract:
Increasingly, video is the medium of choice for learning about art, because it is immediate and revealing. However, not all art libraries include artists’ documentary videos in their collections. For libraries, video presents problems of changing formats, fugitive qualities, lack of reviews, and insufficient information regarding their existence and their availability. Videos frequently accompany exhibitions on contemporary artists. What happens to this documentation when the exhibit closes? What resources besides the Getty’s Art on Film Database keep track of these independently produced videos? How can art libraries work together in a co-ordinated effort to acquire, catalog, and preserve documentary video work on artists?

Full textAbstract:
Scenic representations in the arts and cultural practices create countless forms of contact. Not only are film, theatre, opera, performance and exhibitions forms of expression that evoke tactile and emotional responses, that is, that allow us to touch or that touch us in some way, but so are cultural theory and philology. This is achieved just as much through closeness and detachment and illusions of immediacy, or of an infectious or spellbinding nature as through forms of imagery, conceptuality and corporeality. Based on the concept of touching someone emotionally and from both historical and systematic perspectives, this book examines scenes which affect their viewers in some way. How can the tension between loss of distance and modulation in the process of evoking an emotional response at the point where aesthetic behaviour and reception meet and interact be described?

Ashwell, Ken, ed. Neurobiology of Monotremes. CSIRO Publishing, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/9780643103153.
Full textAbstract:
Neurobiology of Monotremes brings together current information on the development, structure, function and behavioural ecology of the monotremes. The monotremes are an unusual and evolutionarily important group of mammals showing striking behavioural and physiological adaptations to their niches. They are the only mammals exhibiting electroreception (in the trigeminal sensory pathways) and the echidna shows distinctive olfactory specialisations. 
 The authors aim to close the current gap in knowledge between the genes and developmental biology of monotremes on the one hand, and the adult structure, function and ecology of monotremes on the other. They explore how the sequence 'embryonic structure › adult structure › behaviour' is achieved in monotremes and how this differs from other mammals. 
 The work also combines a detailed review of the neurobiology of monotremes with photographic and diagrammatic atlases of the sectioned adult brains and peripheral nervous system of the short-beaked echidna and platypus. Pairing of a detailed review of the field with the first published brain atlases of two of the three living monotremes will allow the reader to immediately relate key points in the text to features in the atlases and will extend a universal system of brain nomenclature developed in eutherian brain atlases by G Paxinos and colleagues to monotremes.

The Exhibition was an immediate commercial success, but it also had a legacy that went way beyond the event itself. The final chapter of this book shows both the short and long-term manifestations of the Exhibition’s impact. It includes material taken from the debates about the appropriate use of the Exhibition’s surplus funds and the future of the Crystal Palace along with an account of the closing ceremony. It provides reports about the rebuilding of the Palace at Sydenham and its destruction by fire in 1936. The long-term material benefits of the Exhibition are represented through the work of the Royal Commission and its scholarships and its lasting impact on the architecture of South Kensington in London. The chapter evaluates the role that the Exhibition has played, and continues to play, in debates about nationalism, imperialism, and the significance of British culture.

Museums in Zimbabwe often face several conservation challenges caused by different agents of deterioration. The Batonga Community Museum find it challenging to maintain and properly take care of the collections on display. This chapter examines the effectiveness of the conservation strategies being employed at the BCM. The study made use of qualitative and ethnographic research approaches. The majority of collections at the BCM are deteriorating at an unprecedented level. The study gathered that bats have posed serious and extreme conservation challenges as well as affected the presentation of exhibitions. The chapter concludes that bats are the main problem bedeviling the museum and needs immediate control.

The clattering sound of a child’s shoes across the cold stone floors; the echo is magnificent. I am nine or ten years old and I make my way through the prehistoric exhibition at the National Museum in Copenhagen. The dimly lit display cases are filled with arrowheads, heavy beads of perforated amber, funnel beakers, and bronze artefacts. I reach my goal, the alluring Bronze Age oak cists where the buried men and women from the heaths of Jutland are looking back at me. I touch the glass. My eyes wander over their reddened hair and their clothes, stained in deep shades of peat brown. My eyes seek theirs in the hollow orbits of their skulls. I close mine and imagine a life thousands of years ago. My small hand moves across the glass, leaving an almost invisible trace. Small fingerprints; a dreaming child’s gesture. I would stay there forever, dreaming of the past. Feeling it. I know that it was moments like this, when I could see and feel the humanity of the past that made me want to become an archaeologist. The immediate encounter with an individual from the past is a privileged moment. For a brief moment our destinies cross paths, and hundreds, even thousands of years are transcended. Scenes like this one, of children gazing at the dead and seeing the past, are not unusual. In museums across Europe, the archaeological findings from burials, including both the human remains and the items that accompanied the dead, are often displayed with pride and confidence. The public expects this and is drawn in with fascination to stand face-to-face with the deep past. Beyond this, the display of the dead and of death itself, with all of the allure and drama that accompany it, becomes a privileged locus for pedagogy and communication. But while this confident attitude towards the display of the dead may be typical in Europe, it is not as evident in North America. In North American museums, it is rare to see human remains from archaeological contexts displayed in any form (exception seems to be given to Egyptian mummies, which still are prominently displayed by many institutions that have them among their collections).

Full textAbstract:
Memorial response in the wake of violence is an expression of resilience—whether marking “everyday” acts of murder, or more dramatic outbreaks of terrorism or war. Particularly in an age of mass death, when individuals become statistics signifying the anonymous death of millions, such response is about more than providing a tranquil sacred space for rituals of mourning. It is a protest, a way of saying, “We will not let these dead become faceless and forgotten. This memorial exists to keep their names, faces, stories in our memories.” Increasingly, memorial expression has become an immediate language of engagement, not just a language of commemoration. This is clearly evident in the rise of a new generation of activist memorial environments, in particular the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Oklahoma City National Memorial, consciously modeled after the Holocaust Museum. Both include memorial space, museum exhibition space, archival space, educational space, and outreach programs, promoting activist agendas designed to spark civic energies to combat anti- Semitism, terrorism, and other ills of modernity. Ideally, these institutions are sites of conscience on the civic landscape. Their role is to immerse visitors in a compelling and often horrific story, and transform them into actively engaged citizens. The terrorist attacks in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, and in New York on September 11, 2001, brought communities together and at the same time tore them apart. Whether represented in thousands of letters suggesting appropriate memorial forms, in the creation of so called spontaneous memorials—so popular now that they represent “planned spontaneity” and perhaps even memorial cliché—or in the formation of formal memorial processes, memorial expression helps people to transform bereavement, anger, fear, and resolve into an active communal grief that mournfully celebrates ongoing life, albeit transformed. There is instability in memorial expression, however. The fragility of memory is never more apparent than when memorials are envisioned. Memorial expression tasks creators to ensure remembrance through significant memorial forms, since the danger of forgetfulness, even oblivion, is enduring. There is instability as well in the rhetoric of civic resilience, which bravely proclaims that just as those murdered will be intensely remembered through memorials, the cityscape will be intensely remembered through acts of civic renewal.

Full textAbstract:
In this chapter, we consider what happens when solids begin to form from solution. To grow solids from solution, solution conditions are changed from a condition in which all species are completely soluble to a condition in which they are insoluble. In the context of hydrolysis diagrams, the solution composition moves in pH and total dissolved metal concentration from a regime below a solubility or saturation limit (given by the bold solid line in Figs. 5.2 and 5.3) to a regime above this limit where the solution is supersaturated. Supersaturated solutions are inherently unstable and have the potential to generate hydroxide or oxide solids. Sometimes these solutions can be maintained in a metastable state in which precipitation does not occur immediately. However, Mother Nature eventually reduces the energy of the solution by forming a stable mixture of solids plus solution species. As solids form, soluble complexes are removed from solution until concentrations drop back to the solubility limit. The precipitation of a solid from an aqueous solution is a surprisingly complex process, involving nucleation and growth phenomena that occur at nanometer-length scales. Nucleation involves reactions between oligomers to form new clusters or particles that are sufficiently large that they do not redissolve spontaneously via the reversible reactions denoted in hydrolysis diagrams. Homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation processes represent events that occur within the bulk solution or at the interface of another phase, respectively. Growth involves the addition of monomers to clusters in solution or oligomers to existing particles or surfaces. The combination of nucleation and growth phenomena can lead to oxides exhibiting a bewildering range of sizes, shapes, and crystal structures. How do metal complexes decide whether to form a new particle or add to an existing particle? What determines the size, shape, and crystal structure of evolving particles? Do the particles aggregate with one another in an organized fashion? Because nucleation typically involves extremely rapid (<1 millisecond) events involving objects that are extremely small (on the order of a nanometer), it is difficult to probe such phenomena at a molecular level.

Full textAbstract:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began composing at the age of four. He toured as a prodigy for three years before the age of ten, astounding audiences with his ability to perform on the harpsichord, voice, organ, and violin. He would compose on sight in different styles and on different instruments. He could “most accurately name from a distance any notes that may be sounded for him either singly or in chords, on the clavier or on every imaginable instrument, including bells, glasses, and clocks.” When his father was recovering from an illness, eight-year-old Wolfgang was not allowed to play the piano. He filled his time by composing his first symphony (K.16) for all instruments of the orchestra. When we hear the word “gifted” in connection with music, the musical prodigy immediately comes to mind. The arguments of recognizing talent through performance, creative endeavors, or music aptitude tests seem incidental in comparison to the possibilities and accomplishments of the musical prodigy. There is no question that these young musicians show incredible levels of musical talent, often exhibiting musical capabilities equal to those of a highly trained adult. Mozart remains the preeminent example of the prodigy, described by his father and teacher as a “God-given miracle,” knowing “in his eighth year what one would expect from a man of forty. Indeed, only he who sees him can believe it.” A prodigy is a child who displays extraordinary talent at an early age. Prodigies occur most often in the field of music, exceeding the total of all other fields combined. Musical prodigies show outstanding abilities at a younger age than other prodigies, with some as young as three or four years old. The field of chess is a distant second place in number, with prodigious achievement often seen at five or six years of age. Relatively few prodigies are identified in the natural sciences, philosophy, dance, or plastic arts. Even the field of mathematics, whose young calculating wonders gain media recognition, have few true prodigies capable of original mathematical reasoning prior to their teen years. The literature offers differing opinions concerning age and prodigious talent.

"4 UNDERSTANDING THE FORMAT OF A STATUTE 3.4.1 Introduction Having spent time discussing the power of language, considering issues of meaning and becoming alerted to the influence of figurative language, the importance of excellent language skills for the study of law should be clear. In its legislative format, the language of the law will be found to be: • in an unusual grammatical form; • potentially confusing; • tediously literal, dense text; • exhibiting scant punctuation; • liberally peppered with alphabetical and numerical dividers. To read legislation and work to understand it involves the reader in the act of interpretation. Legislation is read for a range of different purposes but they all involve interpretation. Interpreters of legal texts strive to ascertain what is being suggested at all levels of the text. Some interpret from a biased position, for example, the prosecution or defence. Others interpret from an open position, merely asking: what does this legislation provide for? How might these legal rules apply to this fact situation? What is the general social impact of this legislation? Does this legislation effectively address the issue? It can be argued that an interpreter is creating something which is new by their act of interpretation: an interpretation which is triggered by the text but which, in reality, bears no resemblance to the writers’ intention. This concept may be the basis of the school of art criticism which says: do not confuse the intellect of the artist with the beauty of the work created; do not expect the artist to know the meaning of the work! Interpreters of legal texts have to adapt their methods according to the type of document they are dealing with, the myth of ascertaining the real meaning of words always being held out as an attainable and sensible goal. Much of the authority of English courts lies in their ability to know what the law means and to apply it. This chapter will demonstrate the importance of students developing expertise in using various techniques for breaking into texts containing statutory legal rules, using a range of skills and methods in preparation for evaluating, analysing and critiquing them. All these skills require constant practice and reflection, and each type of legal text requires different methods of analysis. Practice steadily increases intellectual awareness, language appreciation, skills of prediction concerning interpretation difficulties and the ability to evaluate. Immediately the interconnections between a range of skills becomes apparent: (a) skills of language analysis: • sophisticated comprehension skills; • vocabulary skills; • grammar skills; • excellent reading and writing skills;."

"Development of API 11D1 and API 19AC Validation Grade V0 Barrier-Qualified Gravel Pack System for Troll Phase 3 Big-Bore, High-Rate Gas Completions on the Norwegian Continental Shelf."

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Troll Phase 3 (TP3) wells were designed to enable high gas rates and sand free production for an expected lifetime of 40 years with a minimum pressure drop. By taking reservoir and production properties into account, open-hole gravel pack (GP) sand screens in the lower completion and big bore tubing in the upper completion were selected. To further reduce the pressure loss in the well, reduce rig time and cost, and reduce deployment risks, eliminating the intermediate completion was proposed. Traditionally, an intermediate completion is required to serve as a gas-tight barrier for running of the upper completion, mainly due to historical limitations of the GP extension (GP sleeve) not being a barrier qualified to API 19AC Validation grade V0 (referred to as V0 hereafter) after pumping sand slurry through it (post-erosion). An extensive qualification program was completed to qualify the GP system to API 11D1 and API 19AC V0 for use as a gas-tight barrier post-erosion. This allows the GP system to serve as a primary barrier while installing the upper completion and temporarily abandoning the well. The GP packer was qualified to API 11D1 V0 with the additional requirement to perform entire qualification in as-rolled casing and including a plug-in-tailpipe load case. The GP sleeve provided the most technically challenging requirements: a full-scale erosion test, immediate closure of the sleeve after pumping operation, followed by API 19AC Annex A V0 validation. Challenges were encountered trying to meet the rigorous V0 (zero bubble) acceptance criteria post-erosion. A significantly different approach was developed to achieve gas-tight performance in debris-laden environments. The new design successfully passed the post-erosion API 19AC V0 qualification to the full rating of the GP sleeve. The GP system development and qualification enabled the industry-first V0 post-erosion GP system for Equinor, which eliminates the need for an intermediate completion. This state-of-the-art gravel pack system enabled the simplified high gas rate, big-bore well design, not previously possible given well barrier considerations. The reduced pressure drop across the lower completion is expected to yield a higher gas production rate for the 40 years expected well life, contributing significant value to the TP3 project.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Digitalisation and automation can account for massive efficiencies in wells operations. Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) and Automated Well Control are examples of "smart" technologies that can mitigate risks and costs associated with drilling wells. The Automated Well Control system was developed to monitor the well, identify an influx, take control of the rig equipment and shut in the well. MPD provides annular pressure control, real-time information of the well parameters and conditions downhole and very accurate and immediate influx detection. However, if a high intensity influx is taken that exceeds the pre-planned operational limits of the MPD package, then secondary well control is required. Therefore, a combination of Automated Well Control and MPD has been developed to deliver both pressure control and well control in a safe, efficient and less error-prone manner. On an MPD operation, the Automated Well Control system shuts-in the well as soon as it is required to do so. With Automated Well Control in MPD mode, the MPD system decides when to shut in and the Automated Well Control technology will immediately space out, stop the mud pumps and top-drive, and shut in the well using the pre-selected blowout preventer. This interface between the two systems mitigates drilling hazards using automation. The sensitivity of MPD, combined with Automated Well Control technology enables fast identification, decision making and reaction to well control events. Consequently, this fully integrated solution improves safety and operational efficiency. The MPD and Automated Well Control systems were integrated into a test rig and several tests were efficiently performed. The tool enabled immediate action in the event of influxes, providing a valuable solution for the industry. This paper briefly describes MPD and Automated Well Control and summarises the interface between the two technologies, detailing how the integrated system works on a rig. Moreover, rig trialling results and further developments are presented.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract To maximize production from mature fields, it is essential to identify candidate's wells that are not producing up to their potential. Performing periodic interventions or workovers in wells is an established approach for arresting production decline and maximizing production from the fields. However, for mature fields with large well counts, the process of determining the best candidates for well interventions can be complicated and tedious. This can result in less-than-optimal outcomes. Advanced data analytics modeling offers quick and easy access to important information. The main objective of this study is to identify potential candidate wells for workover operation ahead of time so that we can fix them before they become problem. This was achieved via principal component analysis with the aid of XLSTAT in Excel. In this study, we developed a model based on PCA to quickly identify and rank the workover candidate's wells. The dataset used in this project comprises of 66 oil wells and were obtained from a field operating in the Niger Delta. The first step involved data gathering and validation and uploading into XLSTAT software. Data preprocessing procedures were conducted to condition the dataset so as to give optimum performance during model development. A model was built to identify potential wells for workover operation. The results obtained here showed that the wells are separated to areas designated as (A to E). Wells found in area A indicated that they are potential candidates for workover operation. Wells found in area B showed that they are not under immediate danger, but attention would be needed to monitor and prevent increasing water and gas rates in the future. Wells found in area C indicated that they required immediate attention to prevent further decline in oil production. Likewise, wells found in Area D indicated that they also required immediate attention to prevent further decline in oil production. Finally, Wells found in Area E showed that they have highest oil production, lowest water production and moderate gas production, indicating normal condition with no immediate workover operation required. With advanced data analytics modeling, reservoir engineers or geoscientists will now see a bigger picture either field by field or reservoir by reservoir and quicky identify potential candidate wells for workover operation ahead of time before they become a problem. Hence, the results of the analysis can help us to better target wells that are potential candidates for high water cut, high WOR, High gas rates and low oil rates.

"The Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of a Novel Dental Implant With an Interposed Internal Layer Imitating Periodontal Ligament’s Function." In ASME 2011 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. ASMEDC, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2011-64841.
Full textAbstract:
Osseointegrated dental implants are deficient in natural periodontal ligaments. It may therefore, disrupts the natural function of implant and leads to excessive stress and strain in jaw bone. Our new proposed implant has the nonlinear internal component which imitates periodontal ligaments function. A nonlinear finite element analysis developed to investigate the efficiency of utilizing this nonlinear internal layer for three conditions of bone implant interface conditions under vertical and horizontal loading conditions. Our results so far indicate that the use of a class of material exhibiting incompressible hyperelastic behaviour as a internal layer can reduce the peak stress deduced from different loads. The mobility of implant supported prosthesis is similar to that of natural tooth and micromotion at the bone-implant interface is decreased for both delayed and immediately loading treatment.

Full textAbstract:
The Government of Qatar took strong containment measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 with restrictions on daily living such as social distancing and the closing of businesses and schools. While these measures are essential to stop the virus spreading, several voices came to warn of their potential disruptive impact on the agri-food system. Therefore, this paper investigates the immediate impacts of COVID-19 on Qatari consumer awareness, attitudes, and behaviors related to food consumption. The study is based on an online survey in Qatar using a structured questionnaire that was administered in the Arabic language through the Survey Monkey platform from 24 May until 14 June 2020. The results reveal clear changes in the way consumers are eating, shopping, and interacting with food. Indeed, the survey results suggested (i) a shift toward healthier diets; (ii) an increase in the consumption of domestic products due to food safety concerns; (iii) a change in the modality of acquiring food (with a surge in online grocery shopping); (iv) an increase in culinary capabilities; and (v) the absence of panic buying and food stockpiling in Qatar. The results are expected to inform current emergency plans as well as long-term food-related strategies in Qatar.

Full textAbstract:
The effect of divider thickness on fluid flows in a two-pass smooth square duct with a 180 deg straight-corner turn is an important issue to the turbine blade internal cooling but has not been explored in the past. Laser-Doppler velocimetry measurements are thus presented for such a study at a Reynolds number of 1.2 × 104 and dimensionless divider thicknesses (Wd*) of 0.10, 0.25, 0.50. Results are presented in terms of various mean velocity components in two orthogonal streamwise planes and three cross-sectional planes, the local and regional averaged turbulent kinetic energy and resultant mean velocity distributions, and complemented by the liquid crystal measured heat transfer coefficient contours. The measured velocity data are able to reasonably explain published and present measured heat transfer results. Wd* is found to have profound effects on the flow features inside and immediately after the turn. The turbulence level and uniformity in the region immediately after the turn respectively decrease and increase with increasing Wd*.

Full textAbstract:
A design approach to avoid flutter of low pressure turbine blades in aircraft engines is described. A linearized Euler analysis, previously validated using experimental data, is used for a series of parameter studies. The influence of mode shape and reduced frequency are investigated. Mode shape is identified as the most important contributor to determining the stability of a blade design. A new stability parameter is introduced to gain additional insight into the key contributors to flutter. This stability parameter is derived from the influence coefficient representation of the cascade, and includes only contributions from the reference blade and its immediate neighbors. This has the effect of retaining the most important contributions to aerodynamic damping while filtering out terms of less significance. This parameter is utilized to develop a stability map, which provides the critical reduced frequency as a function of torsion axis location. Rules for preliminary design and procedures for detailed design analysis are defined.

Abstract Robotics is often referred to as an enabler towards safer and more cost-effective operations within the energy industry. However, for robots to achieve their full potential they too require their own enablers. This paper intends to present a collection of lessons learnt in robotic development to date that has resulted in the necessity to develop an encompassing digital architecture. This architecture, with an artificial intelligence component, has been designed to optimise both robot and digital twin capability, where the complete system is always working with the latest information available that reflects the ground truth. The architecture concept will be explained including why integration and standardisation are of paramount importance. The paper will also demonstrate how business value can be generated before fully explainable, transparent, verifiable autonomy is available for robotics to be deployed on future unmanned platforms that have been designed to optimise robot operation opposed to existing human engineered environments. All these topics are important within their own right, but all are also years away from adoption on an industrial scale. To ensure continued engagement until such a point is reached, the industry needs to focus more on the quick wins and immediate value that can be gained from robotics. The impact of COVID-19 has shown how quickly and effectively the energy industry has been able to transition to remote working. This represents a massive opportunity to prove what robotics can deliver via remote operation, minimizing vendors where possible. The concept of "full" autonomy will be discussed with respect to value generation and barrier to entry or adoption within the energy industry. The paper will address all practical considerations that have required attention to date plus explain the next programme of work in the evolving RAS (robotics and autonomous systems) digital architecture whilst ensuring complete integration with the data pipelines that have already been built.

The Mediterranean migrant crisis has resulted in the highest population displacement since the Second World War. In 2016 alone, over one million made the journey across the sea. Since 2013 over 15,000 have died as a result of this journey. Small vessels such as wooden fishing boats and RIBs are commonly used by smugglers as transport. These are often unseaworthy and filled with numbers of passengers far exceeding their intended capacity. When failure occurs, rescues are typically conducted by the nearest available vessel. These vessels are often ill-equipped for a large-scale Search and Rescue (SAR) operation making it highly dangerous for all involved. The size and quantity of lifeboats available are often insufficient for the large numbers of people to be rescued; as a result, repeat journeys are required, making the rescue process slow, inefficient and hazardous. This paper outlines a novel solution to this problem. A concept design is presented for a rapidly expandable lifeboat capable of holding large numbers of passengers, whilst still fitting into the operational envelope of common davits. The unique inflatable design can be deployed quickly from a range of vessels and aeroplanes offering an immediate platform from which disembarkation onto a suitable vessel can be achieved. CONOPS are outlined along with the required capabilities of the design. Drop stitch technology is identified as a viable means of manufacturing the large inflatable platforms. Finally, the paper discusses an alternative solution, retrofitting existing enclosed lifeboats with the solution to offer a more cost-effective alternative.

Full textAbstract:
Co-utilization of solid fuels with combustion turbines (CTs) can be accomplished by blending feedstocks in indirectly heated gasifier/liquifiers (IHG/L), Blending could improve the quality and yields of gaseous and liquid fuel outputs and, with gas clean-up (GCU) or liquid distillation, serve valuable societal functions. Gas yields vs. temperature, time and other variables have been obtained using batch fed and continuous fed laboratory scale IHG/Ls using particle sizes suitable for commercial systems. The rates of solids to gas/liquid conversion are mainly dependent upon the heat transfer and diffusion coefficients of the biomass rather than the rate constants for chemical decomposition. Phenomenological engineering formulas are developed for use with biomass that can be treated as a blend of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin. The main immediate goals are to develop: 1) laboratory scale process development units (PDUs) that can help anticipate results with commercial IHG/L systems, 2) predictive models for estimating gaseous, liquid and char yields when various blends of biomass and other domestic fuels are processed in IHG/Ls and 3) applications of IHG-GCU-CT systems that could drive technology development during periods of low oil and natural gas prices.
