Full textAbstract:
It is a biblical faith position that followers of the Christ should give away the bread they bake freely (Ecclesiastes 11:1-16, Matthew 5:38-42), rather than try to force your neighbour to accept it. Maybe the others only eat cake, or hard-boiled arguments. If the neighbours, however, need and ask for nutritious bread, we rich Christians are called by God to provide wholesome food for thought as well as bellies, says Scripture, with a gentleness, respect for the stranger, and with a sound, self-critical consciousness that may involve our getting hurt ourselves (I Peter 3:13-17).

Full textAbstract:
The centrality of the Shema in Jewish faith and life serves as a rich case study for Christian liturgical theology. The role and significance of the Shema in Jewish daily prayer, liturgy and performative ritualization points to dimensions of worship in which text and action, liturgy and life, prayer and politics, converge. Liturgical, historical, performative, biblical and theological aspects of the Shema are interpreted in relation to Paul Tillich’s notion of “ultimate concern” and Walter Brueggemann’s exegesis of “God-neighbour” to advance a more holistic Christian lex orandi.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the genetic diversity and relationships among eight millet genera were investigated by molecular and morphological data analyses. Sixty-nine millet accessions were analysed by using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers, and evaluated for morphological traits. Eight AFLP primer pairs were amplified successfully and 779 bands were scored for all accessions, with a high level of polymorphism detected. Nei’s genetic distance among all accessions varied from 0.0123 to 0.4246 and the Shannon’s index was estimated at 0.9708. The neighbour joining tree, using the unweighted neighbour-joining method and Dice’s dissimilarity coefficient, was constructed. The AFLP markers revealed the close relatedness between the Eragrostis and Panicum genera, whereas the greatest distance was found the Pennisetum and Echinochloa genera. Cluster analysis based on the AFLP profiles revealed that the majority of accessions of a given millet genus tend to group together. Clustering from morphological data allocated individuals into three main clusters with high variation. The genetic variability found between the analysed accessions was weakly negatively correlated (r = –0.074) with their morphological attributes. However, high molecular and morphological variability indicated that this collection includes rich and valuable plant materials for millet breeding.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe coupled thermal oxidation and deprotonation in air of iron-rich biotite (FeO + Fe2O3 = 34%) has been investigated by EXAFS and XANES spectroscopy at the Fe-K edge and by XANES spectroscopy at the Ti-K edge. Samples annealed for 5 h at temperatures between 250° to 600°C have been studied. Distortions mainly of the Fe-Fe correlation within the octahedral layers are reflected in increasing Debye-Waller factors of the Fe-Fe correlation peak proportional to the annealing temperature. Unchanged Fe-O nearest-neighbour and Fe-Fe next-nearest-neighbour coordination numbers show that these distortions, nonetheless, do not change the structural topology of the octahedral layers. A model is introduced to demonstrate that increasing distortions are compatible with the expected heterogenous deprotonation mechanism in biotite. Titanium occurs in octahedral coordination. It was found to be unaffected by the coupled oxidation/deprotonation process. Both the coordination number and the valence state stay constant during the annealing process, in spite of dramatic changes of the Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio. Thermally activated hopping conduction involving Ti according to Fe2+Ti4+ → Fe3+Ti3+ is, therefore, not a significant process during thermal deprotonation and oxidation in biotite.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractUsing microsatellite markers, the genetic structure of nine domestic duck (Anas platyrhynchos) populations in eastern China was analysed. The results showed that the heterozygosity was high in these populations, ranging from 0.5137 to 0.6055, with an average heterozygosity of 0.5523, reflecting the rich diversity. Considerable breed differentiation was observed and 25.65% of the total genetic variation came from breed differences; this low differentiation result affirmed that each breed has its own genetic diversity. The DA genetic distances suggested that greater differentiation existed between populations. The duck populations were clustered into four groups based on neighbour joining (NJ) clustering, and the clustering results showed relationships with duck breed distributions and economic utilization.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT We study the relation between the properties of the bulge/disc components and the H i mass fraction of galaxies. We find that at fixed stellar mass, disc colours are correlated with the H i mass fraction, while bulge colours are not. The lack of a correlation between the bulge colour and the H i mass fraction is regardless whether the bulges are pseudo, or whether the galaxies host bars or are interacting with a neighbour. There is no strong correlation between the colours of the discs and bulges either. These results suggest that the current total amount of H i is closely related to the formation of discs, but does not necessarily fuel the formation of (pseudo) bulges in an efficient way. We do not find evidence for the star formation in the discs to be quenched by the bulges.

In 1986 Howard Barker abridged Thomas Middleton's tragedy Women Beware Women and wrote a new ending. This version was published and staged as a collaboration between the Jacobean and the modern playwright. There are a number of differences, but also points of connection between Barker's version and Middleton's Jacobean tragedy. Middleton sets out a moral fable on the corrupting nature of desire and greed. Leantio, a clerk, falls in love with Bianca, a rich man's daughter. They elope and live in secrecy with Leantio's mother. Despite her husband's exhortations to keep herself private, Bianca is spotted by the Duke of Florence, who determines to make her his. A wealthy neighbour, the widow, Livia, aids him in this, luring Bianca and the mother to her house where Bianca is raped by the Duke. Bianca's story is mirrored by that of Isabella, who is being ‘sold’ into marriage with a rich fool and is tricked into an incestuous relationship with her uncle Hippolito. Bianca leaves her husband to become the Duke's mistress. Leantio is taken up by Livia.

Full textAbstract:
American Indian reservations have per capita incomes $9,000 lower than adjacent counties. This paper seeks to explain why using an approach akin to the analysis of country-level data. I estimate differences in levels of income and income growth for a decade where Indian economies were transformed greatly by casino gambling - the 1990s. I test several recent innovations in the theory of economic growth within the context of American Indian economies and assess how economic performance depends on veto players, human capital investment, and windfall wealth. I find that measures of rule of law, rent seeking, and human capital are the most economically significant predictors of the per capita income gap. In addition, the size of Indian casinos is strongly correlated with convergence and economic growth, suggesting that tribal investment in Indian casinos plays an important role in reservation economies. From the work done here, promoting economic growth through enhancing a stable investment climate appears to be the most successful development strategy. Moreover, this study contributes to the broader literature on economic growth by providing new insight into the way institutional quality affects the speed of, or potentially lack of, convergence.

Um dos temas mais populares no tratamento de dados nos ?ltimos dez anos gira em torno da descoberta que a recupera??o de sinais esparsos em sistemas lineares, pode ser feita com um n?mero de equa??es bem menor que o n?mero de vari?veis. Em linhas gerais, se A = AmN, queremos resolver Ax = b e procuramos solu??es esparsas, ou seja, com apenas s << N entradas n~ao-nulas em algum sistema de coordenadas, isto pode ser feito com um n?mero de equa??es m << N, minimizando a norma l1 de x, sujeito ? restri??o Ax = b + r, sob determinadas condi??es (8). Vale dizer, com muito menos equa??es que incognitas. D? o nome de Magica l1" para esta possibilidade de recuperar um sinal esparso, resolvendo um problema de otimiza??o convexa com relativamente poucas restri??es. Para algumas poucas matrizes A, de grande import?ncia em aplica??es, ha teorias razoavelmente estabelecidas indicando esta possibilidade, para muitas n?o. O objetivo desta disserta??o e situar e discutir casos nos quais a Magica l1" funciona, com foco nas rela??es entre a esparsidade s, o n?mero de linhas m e o n?mero de vari?veis N, para algumas matrizes importantes e associadas ? codifica??o de imagens 2D. Em particular, realizamos testes num?ricos com tr?s matrizes A, visando encontrar empiricamente rela??es entre s, m e N para as quais a Magica l1 e bem sucedida. Em duas delas, ha teorias matematicas, ainda em constru??o, indicando condic~oes de sucesso, grosso modo, na forma de m=s C log(N=s), sempre com alguma probabilidade de insucesso associada. Listamos inicialmente A = G, formada por entradas aleatorias com distribui??o gaussiana i.i.d., de media zero e colunas aproximadamente unitarias. A segunda e a transformada de Fourier, que usaremos numa vers~ao de transformada de cossenos 2D. A denotamos por A = DCT. Para probabilidades esmagadoras" de sucesso na recupera??o de sinais esparsos com G, usando a Magica l1", os resultados te?ricos estabelecem regi?es menores, vale dizer, valores mais elevados para a constante C. Se relaxamos um pouco esta exig?ncia de sucesso, obtemos regi?es mais amplas, conforme teremos oportunidade de discutir na disserta ??o. m=s C log(N=s) ainda e uma conjectura no caso de Fourier, se queremos probabilidades esmagadoras" de sucesso na recupera??o de sinais esparsos pela via da otimiza??o convexa acima prescrita. Os resultados emp?ricos por nos obtidos para iv estas duas matrizes ainda s~ao muito preliminares, mas se ajustam bem , via quadrados m??nimos, a m=s C log(s=N), com C em 1:6 e em 1, correspondendo aos resultados mais otimistas encontrados na literatura para G e DCT, nos quais a eficacia da Magica l1" e assumida num sentido mais fraco, no sentido de permitir alguma taxa de insucesso n~ao totalmente desprez??vel, porem de forma probabilisticamente controlada. No caso da matriz da transformada de Radon, n?o ha previs~ao teorica consolidada para o funcionamento daMagica l1" e sequer encontramos conjecturas sobre o que se pode esperar. Em nossos testes com matrizes de Radon, encontramos uma regi~ao para a validade da Magica l1", cujo ajuste de quadrados m??nimos a m=s C log(s=N) se deu com 2; 5 e C 0; 29

Full textAbstract:
This article reviews scholarship on the history and historiography of slavery in Spanish Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. Santo Domingo, the Spanish colony that became the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico, its island neighbour to the east, rank as two of the Western hemisphere's most racially mixed societies. Historical factors related in one way or another to slavery account for the high degree of racial admixture. Both countries experienced enslavement and the Atlantic slave trade intensely in the sixteenth century. This was followed by a long period of economic declension during which slave imports were low and the exploitation of slave labour fell into relative obsolescence. In the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, virtual economic autarchy in both colonies allowed for greater rates of miscegenation than in almost every other New World society significantly influenced by the institution of slavery.

Full textAbstract:
From the early 1990s many emerging and developing economies (EDEs) liberalized their capital accounts, allowing greater freedom for international lenders and investors to enter their markets, as well as for their residents to operate in international financial markets. Despite recurrent crises, liberalization has accelerated in the new millennium. Global financial integration of EDEs has been greatly facilitated by progressively looser US monetary policy, notably policies culminating in crises in the US and Europe and the ultra-easy monetary policies adopted in response. Not only have traditional cross-border financial linkages of EDEs deepened and their external balance sheets expanded rapidly, but also foreign presence in their domestic markets and the presence of their nationals in foreign markets have reached unprecedented proportions. As a result new channels have emerged for the transmission of financial shocks from global boom–bust cycles. Almost all EDEs are now vulnerable irrespective of their balance-of-payments, external debt, net foreign assets, and international reserves positions, although these play an important role in the way such shocks could impinge on them. This is a matter for concern since the multilateral system lacks mechanisms to prevent beggar-thy-neighbour policies in major advanced economies that exert strong impact on global economic and financial conditions or for orderly and equitable resolution of financial crises with international dimensions. This volume provides a comprehensive treatment of global financial linkages of EDEs and the vulnerabilities they entail, based on a rich set of data and information that have not been put together so far in the literature.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter introduces accounts of good neighbor and the democracy of everyday life in American literature. Settler, immigrant, and suburban portrayals demonstrate the centrality of this regulative ideal in people's moral imagination and in Americans' self-representation. Good neighbor as a facet of moral identity and as a collective American self-representation are rich composites created from an unprecedented and ever-increasing wealth of fiction, poetry, and memoir. The significance of these narratives is that they make particular places and moments in time vivid; they endow the subject with dimension. Like “thick” cultural ethnography, these narratives document what, in this place, anyone would do. Neighbors in literature as in life are driven to think about the ethics of their situation, but in fiction they think aloud.

Full textAbstract:
In a political and military sense, none of Israel’s neighbors loom as large in the biblical imagination as the Philistines. Indeed, the Bible depicts the Philistines as inextricably involved with Israel’s early experience with the monarchy, threatening the existence of the new nation. Throughout 1 Samuel—most famously in the story of David and Goliath—the Philistines antagonize Israel. Decades of archaeological research have given us an independent view of the Philistines—as a cultured people who were a contingent of the so-called Sea Peoples who migrated east after the collapse of the Late Bronze Age political system in the Mediterranean world. Though no substantial native Philistine literary culture or even a script to speak of survives, archaeological work at sites along the coastal plain has presented rich examples of a distinctive Philistine pottery tradition, iconography, and glimpses into their religious practice.

This chapter analyzes the dramatic economic and demographic transformations that D.C. experienced in the early twenty-first century. Driven by a nationwide housing boom and post-September 11 government expansion, new development injected millions of dollars of capital into neighborhoods that had not seen significant investment since the 1950s. Young, affluent residents swarmed back into Washington, reversing the city’s five-decade population slide, replenishing its tax base, and reshaping the landscape and the culture. But as the city became younger, wealthier, and whiter, many established residents, particularly black Washingtonians, felt alienated from their new neighbors and unwelcome in their own city. Unable to afford homes as D.C. real estate prices skyrocketed, many lower-income residents sought affordable housing in the suburbs. Those who stayed used their dwindling political strength to fight back against displacement and the policymakers who supported unbridled development. On the verge of financial collapse in the mid-1990s, by 2010 the nation’s capital was thriving economically but remained sharply divided along racial lines.

Full textAbstract:
The Russian countryside has a rich variety of small and independent farmers, in addition to household producers. While many appear in records, the existence of others is hidden or is misrepresented in official typologies. Like household producers, these other independent producers cover a spectrum from those that are engaged primarily in producing for personal consumption to those that are oriented to the market and may employ hired labour. Their legal status varies; some are formally registered with local authorities as a separate farm, business, or smallholding but others exist within the framework of a larger organization or on the basis of informal contracts. Among the former are peasant farm economies (krestyankie fermskie khozyaistva) hereafter private farms, formed under the provisions of the land reform, small specialized agricultural businesses, and the allotments and smallholdings of urban residents. Among the latter is a rich variety of permanent and temporary businesses that use land under sharecropping and other rental agreements negotiated with larger farms and local authorities. They include the ranches (koshary) and peripatetic teams or rental brigades (arendnie brigady) described in the previous chapter, and more orthodox types of tenant farms. The justification for pulling this mixed bag together into a single chapter is that they either overlap or share some crucial characteristic with household producers: it may be the small scale of their operations or that much of their activity takes place ‘in the shadows’, or that like household producers they can be simultaneously involved in producing for their own consumption and for the market. Their existence suggests the need to examine the ways in which capital is reworking economic and social relationships in rural Russia, inside and outside existing institutions and the formal structures of power. Soviet collective and state farms were not unchanging institutions; their management structure, forms of labour organization, methods of remuneration, and forward and backward linkages evolved over the course of the sixty years after collectivization.

For a growing number of African economies the discovery of natural resources is a tremendous opportunity, but one accompanied by considerable risks. Many African countries dependent on oil, gas, and mining have weaker long-run growth, higher rates of poverty and greater income inequality than their less resource-dependent neighbours. One major risk comes from the structure of resource-rich economies themselves. Relative prices make it more difficult to diversify into internationally competitive activities outside the resource sector, thus narrowing the scope for structural change. This chapter focuses on how countries can use natural resources to diversify. Drawing on country-level evidence it explores three key themes: the institutions needed to manage a resource boom, the construction sector, and linking industry to the resource.

This introduction provides a theoretical overview of the main mechanisms through which a market economy emerges. The chapters in this volume offer rich ethnographic exploration of daily interactions among traders, suppliers, customers, family members, neighbors, and officials within Vietnam and across its borders. These quotidian encounters occur within contested spaces, through expanding and contracting circuits of mobility, and across physical and conceptual boundaries that are fixed, yet porous. Taken together, the diverse contributions to this collection demonstrate that markets form and transform through uneven interplay among global processes, state regulatory regimes, and local trajectories of economic and social development. Rather than impede market function, these trading frictions shape the necessary ground on which new forms of political economy emerge.

Full textAbstract:
The introduction looks at the importance of geopolitical borders for Nordic cinematic constructions of the neighbouring countries that lay behind the Iron Curtain. Offering an overview of rich depictions of Russia and Eastern Europe from the silent film era to the end of the Cold War, the chapter traces anti-Russian and anti-Soviet sentiment in early Nordic films. The chapter elaborates on the definition of Eastern noir, within the discourse of which Russia is constructed as a crime scene and Russians (Soviets) as threatening the existence of the Nordic subjects. It draws an important distinction between representations of Russia and the other eastern neighbours in Nordic cinemas. Eastern noir is considered in relation to the currently much discussed genre of Nordic noir. The introduction also elaborates on the conceptual frame of border/boundary underlying the book’s main argument, and discusses the research scope and structure of the book.

The aim of the paper is to review the way of presenting Georgia and Georgians in the sources created by the Venetian diplomats or for their milieu in the period between 1573 and 1645, i. e. mainly in the reports and dispatches from missions in Constantinople and Aleppo. The analyzed texts contain relatively rich descriptions of ethnic and confessional reality of the Georgian lands. They mainly focus on political situation of the Georgian princedoms and their relations with bordering Muslim neighbours, including the course and effects of subsequent wars in the region. This focus is not surprising since the Georgians could be treated by the Venetian diplomacy as potential allies against the Ottoman Empire. It is of particular interest the frequently returning motive of a local ruler being secret Christian and formal Muslim, illustrating the perception of Georgia as a category sui generis on the map of politico-religious entities of the early modern world.

The Mississippi River Delta between A.D. 1400 and 1600 was a resource-rich area with a large variety of domestic and wild resources, allowing Mississippian people to be better nourished than many. Yet community-level hierarchies may have been a major factor structuring biological stress across the landscape. Ross-Stallings compares health status from human remains from the Hollywood site (a high-status mound center) and the Flowers #3 site (a low-ranked satellite of the Hollywood center). Greater prevalence of biological stress and poorer diets are found among the people of the satellite settlement, which reflected differential access to resources. This was further underscored by an extractive economic relationship, as the Hollywood chiefs likely siphoned off various forms of tribute in the form of food from their subaltern neighbors.

Geographically Mongolia has two neighbors. Mongolia’s existence today depends largely on mutually friendly relationships with two big neighbors. The main pillars of Mongolia’s new international strategy were incorporated in Mongolia’s National Security Concept adopted on June 30, 1994. This document, approved by the Mongolian Parliament, emphasizes a balanced policy towards the country’s two giant neighbors, underlines the importance of economic security in protecting Mongolia’s national integrity, and warns about too much dependence on any one country for trade. In today’s world of globalization and interdependence, Mongolia has to engage with other countries beyond these two neighbors, Russia and China. This is fundamental thing of the Mongolia’s searching third neighbor. Mongolia needs more friends to ensure its national security interests and achieve economic prosperity its ‘Third Neighbor Policy’1 is a policy of extending its friends all around the world. Two immediate neighbors of Mongolia, Russia and China, remain the foreign policy priority and this priority is not contradictory to the policy of having more friends. Mongolia is becoming an arena of clashes of economic interests of developed countries, multinational corporations due its rich mining deposits. Mongolia's Third Neighbor Policy is aimed to leverage the influence of neighboring countries in the national security issues of Mongolia. In contrast with other satellite states of the former Soviet Union, Mongolia concurrently instituted a democratic political system, a market-driven economy, and a foreign policy based on balancing relations with Russia and China while expanding relations with the West and East. Mongolia is now pursuing a foreign policy that will facilitate global engagement, allow the nation to maintain its sovereignty, and provide diplomatic freedom of maneuver through a “third neighbor” policy. 2 This policy is very much alive today but there is no reason to claim that its implementation is satisfactory. Mongolia has major investors from the US, Japan, Germany and France from the EU, for example. There are many universal conventions related to landlocked country. For Mongolia, access to sea via our two neighbors, means promoting economic ties with the third neighbors, as an important factor conducive to reinforcing the material foundations of Mongolia’s third neighbor policy.

Full textAbstract:
Offshore wind assets have reached multi-GW scale and additional capacity is being installed and developed. To achieve demanding cost of energy targets, awarded by competitive auctions, the operation and maintenance (O&M) of these assets has to become increasingly efficient, whilst ensuring compliance and effectiveness. Existing offshore wind farm assets generate a significant amount of inhomogeneous data related to O&M processes. These data contain rich information about the condition of the assets, which is rarely fully utilized by the operators and service providers. Academic and industrial research and development efforts have led to a suite of tools trying to apply sensor data and build machine learning models to diagnose, trend and predict component failures. This study presents a decision support framework incorporating a range of different supervised and un-supervised learning algorithms. The aim is to provide guidance for asset owners on how to select the most relevant datasets, apply and choose the different machine learning algorithms and how to integrate the data stream with daily maintenance procedures. The presented methodology is tested on a real case example of an offshore wind turbine gearbox replacement at Teesside offshore wind farm. The study uses k-nearest neighbour (kNN) and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms to detect the fault using supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data and an autoregressive model for the vibration data of the condition monitoring system (CMS). The implementation of all the algorithms has resulted in an accuracy higher than 94%. The results of this paper will be of interest to offshore wind farm developers and operators to streamline and optimize their O&M planning activities for their assets and reduce the associated costs.

Full textAbstract:
The Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) has been a main arena for development of subsea pipeline technology over the last 25 years. The pipeline infrastructure in the North Sea is well developed and new field developments are often tied in to existing pipeline systems, /3/. Codes traditionally require a pipeline system to be designed with a uniform design pressure. However, due to the pressure drop when transporting gas in a very long pipeline, it is possible to operate multi design pressure systems. The pipeline integrity is ensured by limiting the inventory and local maximum allowable pressure in the pipeline using inlet and outlet pressure measurements in a Safety Instrumented System (SIS). Any blockage in the pipeline could represent a demand on the safety system. This concept was planned to be used in the new Gjo̸a development when connecting the 130 km long rich gas pipeline to the existing 450 km long FLAGS pipeline system. However, a risk assessment detected a new risk parameter; the formation of a hydrate and subsequent blockage of the pipeline. In theory, the hydrate could form in any part of the pipeline. Therefore, the pipeline outlet pressure could not be used in a Safety Instrumented System to control pipeline inventory. The export pressure at Gjo̸a would therefore be limited to FLAGS pipeline code. Available pressure drop over the Gjo̸a pipeline was hence limited and a large diameter was necessary. Various alternatives were investigated; using signals from neighbour installations, subsea remote operated valves, subsea pressure sensors and even a riser platform. These solutions gave high risk, reduced availability, high operating and/or capital expenses. A new idea of introducing flow measurement in the SIS was proposed. Hydraulic simulations showed that when the parameters of flow, temperature and pressure, all located at the offshore installation, were used; a downstream blockage could be detected early. This enabled the topside export pressure to be increased, and thereby reduced the pipeline diameter required. Flow measurement in Safety Instrumented Systems has not been used previously on the NCS. This paper describes the principles of designing a pipeline safety system including flow measurement with focus on the hydraulic simulations and designing the safety system. Emphasis will be put on improvements in transportation efficiency, cost reductions and operational issues.

Full textAbstract:
We investigate opinion dynamics in multi-agent networks when there exists a bias toward one of two possible opinions; for example, reflecting a status quo vs a superior alternative. Starting with all agents sharing an initial opinion representing the status quo, the system evolves in steps. In each step, one agent selected uniformly at random adopts with some probability a the superior opinion, and with probability 1 - a it follows an underlying update rule to revise its opinion on the basis of those held by its neighbors. We analyze the convergence of the resulting process under two well-known update rules, namely majority and voter. The framework we propose exhibits a rich structure, with a nonobvious interplay between topology and underlying update rule. For example, for the voter rule we show that the speed of convergence bears no significant dependence on the underlying topology, whereas the picture changes completely under the majority rule, where network density negatively affects convergence. We believe that the model we propose is at the same time simple, rich, and modular, affording mathematical characterization of the interplay between bias, underlying opinion dynamics, and social structure in a unified setting.

The September 11 events provided an opportunity for the US administration, initiating strong policies to better understand the region. It also reminded the world of America's political-military control capacity. The terrorist attacks on September 11 were not a real surprise. Indeed, 9/11 looked like the wild fantasies they needed to justify a new military role developed by American strategic analysts and military and intelligence planners. Terrorism is intended to intimidate or coerce individuals, societies or governments by a person or an organized group with the threat of threat or use of force. Terrorism is an illegal act, usually for ideological or political reasons. Oil is not an object, but also contains many positives and negatives. Turkey is a neighbor with its geopolitical position as the world's proven oil and natural gas reserves, with three-quarters of the country. It takes part in many important projects, including a natural "Energy Center" between the energy-rich Caspian, Central Asian, Middle Eastern countries and consumer markets in Europe. It supports these projects. As long as the strategic resource, oil and scarce brand are available, terrorism will not end. political instability in the oil belt of countries in the immediate vicinity of Turkey brings many disadvantages. This situation also adversely affect the Turkish economy, itself non-threatening terrorism and conflict of interest due to the large states to support terrorism in Turkey has led to more cautious.

Full textAbstract:
Uzbekistan, one of the highest population density and historically most influential countries in the Central Asian countries, has gained political independence in 1991. Among the transition economies during the post-independence period, it is noteworthy that Uzbekistan was the reformist country at the outset, however the most striking feature is the stagnation of reforms in the ongoing time frame. In this context, incorporation into the world economy, there has been a rapid growth in foreign trade with border countries, in particularly Russia, China and Turkey. In the study, Uzbekistan's foreign trade was examined for the period of 1995-2016, and with using Balassa index, which goods groups were superior and which were weaker were researched. In the analysis according to SITC Rev.3, Uzbekistan's competitive power against its natural resource rich neighbors like Russia and Kazakhstan is weaker outside a few sectors; whereas the need for natural resources such as Turkey and China were found to be high across the high country of the competitiveness. This indicates that a competitive power based on natural resources has developed in the country's economy. In other words, it is observed that Uzbekistan has remained its competitive power based on natural resources in general and has also made a breakthrough in various processed goods and chemical sectors recent years. It can be said that this last development will contribute to the development of the emphasis on supporting policy implementations.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Tuscaloosa Marine Shale (TMS) formation is a clay- and liquid-rich emerging shale play across central Louisiana and southwest Mississippi with recoverable resources of 1.5 billion barrels of oil and 4.6 trillion cubic feet of gas. The formation poses numerous challenges due to its high average clay content (50 wt%) and rapidly changing mineralogy, making the selection of fracturing candidates a difficult task. While brittleness plays an important role in screening potential intervals for hydraulic fracturing, typical brittleness estimation methods require the use of geomechanical and mineralogical properties from costly laboratory tests. Machine Learning (ML) can be employed to generate synthetic brittleness logs and therefore, may serve as an inexpensive and fast alternative to the current techniques. In this paper, we propose the use of machine learning to predict the brittleness index of Tuscaloosa Marine Shale from conventional well logs. We trained ML models on a dataset containing conventional and brittleness index logs from 8 wells. The latter were estimated either from geomechanical logs or log-derived mineralogy. Moreover, to ensure mechanical data reliability, dynamic-to-static conversion ratios were applied to Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. The predictor features included neutron porosity, density and compressional slowness logs to account for the petrophysical and mineralogical character of TMS. The brittleness index was predicted using algorithms such as Linear, Ridge and Lasso Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree, Random Forest, AdaBoost and Gradient Boosting. Models were shortlisted based on the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value and fine-tuned using the Grid Search method with a specific set of hyperparameters for each model. Overall, Gradient Boosting and Random Forest outperformed other algorithms and showed an average error reduction of 5 %, a normalized RMSE of 0.06 and a R-squared value of 0.89. The Gradient Boosting was chosen to evaluate the test set and successfully predicted the brittleness index with a normalized RMSE of 0.07 and R-squared value of 0.83. This paper presents the practical use of machine learning to evaluate brittleness in a cost and time effective manner and can further provide valuable insights into the optimization of completion in TMS. The proposed ML model can be used as a tool for initial screening of fracturing candidates and selection of fracturing intervals in other clay-rich and heterogeneous shale formations.
