Abstract:

Albert Lewis Kanter launched Classic Comics in 1941, a series of comic books that retold classic literature for a young audience. Five of Shakespeare’s celebrated plays appear in the collection. The popularity of Classics Illustrated encouraged Seaboard Publishing to issue a competitive brand, Stories by Famous Authors Illustrated (1949-51), which retold three Shakespearean dramas. Although both these enterprises aimed to reinforce a humanist perspective of education based on Western literature, the classic comics belie a Posthuman aesthetic by presenting Shakespearean characters in scenes and postures that recall Golden Age superheroes. By examining the Shakespearean covers of Classic Illustrated and Stories by Famous Authors, this essay explores how Shakespearean characters are reimagined as Superhuman in strength and power.

Abstract:

This paper draws attention to some assumptions implicit in HIV/AIDS communication or prevention campaigns which use popular culture media, in this instance comics. Theoretically the analysis is placed in a framework of popular culture as the arena of negotiations about claims over hegemonic discourses. Methodologically the internal logics of a local Swahili comic from the magazine Kingo and of a comic from the Sara Initiative in Swahili (UNICEF-ESARO) are explored through a comparative textual analysis, focusing on differences and convergences in the use of dramaturgy and characterisation of the protagonists. The transformations of locally known comic characters and the differences in dramaturgical strategies are made visible in the comparison, exposing the communicative, historical and social underpinnings of both comics. It is argued that as long as these preconditions of the international campaigns, as well as of local popular culture production are not thoroughly explored, hegemonic Western claims of knowledge of HIV/AIDS will be rejected by African people (and why not?). The paper recommends that prevention design allow for ‘moments of freedom’ understood ‘as the potential to transform one's thoughts, emotions and experience into creations that can be communicated and shared’ (Fabian 1998).

Abstract:

Abstract Both mainstream and art comics often use various flourishes surrounding characters’ heads. These so-called “pictorial runes” (also called “emanata”) help convey the emotional states of the characters. In this paper, using (manipulated) panels from Western and Indian comic albums as well as neutral emoticons and basic shapes in different colors, we focus on the following two issues: (a) whether runes increase the awareness in comics readers about the emotional state of the character; and (b) whether a correspondence can be found between the types of runes (twirls, spirals, droplets, and spikes) and specific emotions. Our results show that runes help communicate emotion. Although no one-to-one correspondence was found between the tested runes and specific emotions, it was found that droplets and spikes indicate generic emotions, spirals indicate negative emotions, and twirls indicate confusion and dizziness.

Abstract:

This article focuses on the relatively little-known editorial context of children’s French-language comics serials at a time when they constituted the main distribution channel of the bande dessinée medium (before the album became the dominant format), from the immediate post-war years to the mid-1950s. I examine the importance given to the adaptation of films into bande dessinée by studying the editorial strategy to which this practice of adaptation contributes (focusing on the magazine L’Intrépide [The daredevil], which, at the time, specialised in adaptation) and the narrative and figurative aspects of the adapters’ approaches. I show in particular how bandes dessinées are inscribed in genres that structure the periodical publications, where these were previously established in the cinematographic domain such as the swashbuckler and the western. The processes of condensation or amplification of the narrative, as well as the use of the feuilleton, are at the centre of the case studies.

Abstract:

When talking about manga, we are typically referring to Japanese comics. The term is often mistaken and used interchangeably with the word anime, which contrarily to the written comics refers to the animated adaptations of Manga or to original animation products. Since 1970, Japanese Manga and Anime have experienced an unprecedented popularity, introducing an innovative way of telling stories and portraying reality eventually absorbed into our Western culture. This article examines the animated series adaptation of Kohei Horikoshi's Boku No Hero Akademia, paying particular attention to one of the main characters: All Might.

Abstract:

In this article, We explore the extent to which political cartoons and comic strips – as mediated public and political visual art, the ‘ninth art’ according to Groensteen’s The System of Comics (2007[1999] – subvert/confirm institutional values of so-called Western democracies during times of war. Our concern, as sociologists of sport, is with the ways dominant sporting sensibilities are (re)presented in cartoon art, and how sport itself is conflated with patriotic ideologies of war as a vehicle for propaganda. In particular, We interrogate how competitive-sporting ideals are aligned with war and conflict, and mobilized by cartoons during periods of Western-asserted conflict. We are intrigued by how some cartoon illustrations have the visual power to misplace, simplify and essentialize – via sporting analogy – the intense and complex emotions surrounding war. The aim of the article is to examine how the visual within popular culture is used to dis-connect and dis-engage a public with the realities of war and human conflict.

Abstract:

In early 2014, Marvel Comics released a new series called Ms. Marvel. The main character of this series is a Pakistani-American Muslim girl named Kamala Khan. Her story is a breakthrough against the negative representation of Islam in the Western world, especially after 9/11. This research examines five issues taken from the first volume of the Ms. Marvel comic book series. The paper discusses the reason why this series is substantial in the struggle of Muslim immigrants to survive as a minority group in the United States. The results show that Ms. Marvel serves as a medium of communication for the under-represented American Muslim community. Furthermore, by accepting the new superhero, the American society itself has also transformed and it is beginning to adapt to the idea that Muslim immigrants are members of their society.Keywords: Muslim, superhero, comic book, identity, popular culture

Abstract:

Perkembangan teknologi telah mengubah cara penyebaran komik di Indonesia. Saat ini internet dan media sosial menjadi salah satu media utama penyebaran komik. Salah satu media yang menjadi pilihan tempat menyebarkan dan membaca komik adalah Webtoon. Tulisan ini bermaksud menganalisis wacana homoseksualitas dan maskulinitas yang terdapat dalam komik No Homo karya Apitnobaka yang diterbikan dalam Webtoon. Menggunakan pemahaman Foucault dan Bartkly tentang panoptikon dan gender hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pembicaraan masyarakat (gosip) merupakan alat utama dalam pengonstruksian gender di masyarakat. Gosip berperan sebagai pengawas perilaku seperti apa yang boleh dilakukan laki-laki dan sebaliknya. Gosip berperan sebagai panoptikon dalam mengawasi pelanggengan konstruksi maskulinitas di masyarakat. Selain itu, ditemukan juga salah satu penanda maskulinitas ideal di masyarakat yaitu, laki-laki harus menjadi seorang alfa dan tidak bergantung pada orang lain. Jika seorang laki-laki tidak mampu memenuhi hal tersebut dirinya akan digolongkan bukan laki-laki ideal. Dalam komik No Homo dipandang memiliki orientasi seksual lain yaitu homoseksual yang dianggap tabu dalam masyarakat. Selain itu, komik No Homo merefleksikan dan melanggengkan anggapan bahwa orientasi seksual yang bukan hetero seperti homoseksual bukanlah berasal dari Indonesia. Hal itu dipandang sebagai bagian dari budaya Barat.Technological developments have changed the way in which comics are circulated and distributed throughout Indonesia. Currently the internet and social media have become the primary media for the distribution of comics. One of the media that has been chosen for circulation, distribution and consumption of comics is Webtoon. This paper intends to analyze discourse in subjects such as homosexuality and masculinity as can be observed in Apitnobaka's No Homo comic as published on Webtoon. Using Foucault's and Bartkly's understanding of the panopticon and the gender; this study suggests that community talk (gossip) plays a major role in gender-building in society. Gossip serves as a supervisory behaviour that shapes gender norms in society i.e., what is considered as acceptable behaviour by a male or vice versa. Gossip serves as a panopticon in overseeing the construction of masculinity in consumer society. Moreover, it can be observed that one of the markers of ideal masculinity in the community is that a male must be an alpha and does not rely on the others can be found within this comic. If a male does not capably fulfil these terms, he will consequently be classified a as non-ideal man by consumer society. In No Homo comics, the male is portrayed as being of homosexual orientation and it is considered as taboo in society. In addition, No Homo comics reflect upon and perpetuate the assumption that sexual orientation other than heterosexual such as a homosexual is apart from Indonesian heteronormative culture. However, it is viewed as being a symptom of western culture.

Abstract:

The depiction of boyhood in the Western world of comics underwent a subtle transformation in the shadow of the Second World War. Major artists of these sequential artistic texts (such as Schultz and Spiegelman) fine-tuned key elements in the set of resources they drew on, effectively changing how readers/viewers engage with the young male protagonists in comics. The shift in affect was realized in storylines; instead of these being driven by external, performance-oriented representations of ‘boyhood’ punctuated by mischievous deeds or heroic exploits, drama was created by a much more complex and nuanced depiction of boyhood that explored the internal emotional and psychological worlds of main boy characters. Drawing on representative examples from two different sets of comics, this article applies a bi-modal, semiotic approach that specifically addresses how facial expressions, gaze and speech/thought bubbles, elements of the interpersonal meta-function, construct a more complex representation of boyhood.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the depiction of warfare in post-9/11 ancient world epics and assesses the extent to which these films engage with contemporary events by means of allegory and analogy. Inspired by scholarship on allegorical and analogous interpretations of 1950s-60s ancient world epics, I explore how the current cycle engages with the American socio-political landscape in the wake of 9/11, with particular emphasis on the War on Terror and ensuing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. I chart the genre’s evolution in relation to the combat film, and examine how the current cycle of ancient world epics integrates the tropes of other genres into its portrayal of warfare, invasion, occupation and imperialism. Within this context, I explore the recurrent motif of the father-son dynamic, and assess how its use in combat films corresponds to that in ancient world epics. I also discuss how this motif was employed in 1980s Vietnam War films, and what its use in these modern epics suggests about the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Furthermore, I discuss the use of the unreliable narrator to engage with wider debates on the value of historical films compared to written history. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the ancient world epic is a malleable construct with which filmmakers can engage with the present while depicting the past. I build on existing studies of the ancient world in cinema, contributing new understanding of the current cycle’s relationship to its predecessors, to other genres, and to post-9/11 American society. In so doing this thesis contributes to notions of film as art, as industry, and as history, and how they intersect in cinematic depictions of the ancient world.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in shale reservoirs has been recently shown to increase oil recovery significantly from this unconventional oil and gas source. One of the most studied EOR methods in shale reservoirs is gas injection, with a focus on carbon Dioxide (CO2) mainly due to the ability to both enhance oil recovery and store the CO2 in the formation. Even though several shale plays have reported an increase in oil recovery using CO2 injection, in some cases this method failed severely. This research attempts to investigate the ability of the CO2 to mobilize crude oil from the three most prominent features in the shale reservoirs, including shale matrix, natural fractures, and hydraulically induced fracture. Shale cores with dimensions of 1 inch in diameter and approximately 1.5 inch in length were used in all experiments. The impact of CO2 soaking time and soaking pressure on the oil recovery were studied. The cores were analyzed to understand how and where the CO2 flowed inside the cores and which prominent feature resulted in the increase in oil recovery. Also, a pre-fractured core was used to run an experiment in order to understand the oil recovery potential from fractured reservoirs. Results showed that oil recovery occurred from the shale matrix, stimulation of natural fractures by the CO2, and from the hydraulic fractures with a large volume coming from the stimulated natural fractures. By understanding where the CO2 will most likely be most productive, proper design of the CO2 EOR in shale can be done in order to maximize recovery and avoid complications during injection and production which may lead to severe operational problems.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Accurate estimation of the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) is critical in decision making processes related to the development of conventional oil reservoirs. Existing methods have limitations when it comes to predicting such long-term production behaviors. This study analyzes the performance of deep learning methods such as long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks on time-series data, and their effective application to accurately estimate the EUR in conventional reservoirs. Synthetic data that are realistic and representative of many major conventional oil reservoirs were generated for this study. The generated dataset was used by the LSTM model for the purpose of forecasting the EUR. The results of the LSTM model were compared with that of a reservoir simulation model from a full-physics reservoir simulator. EUR forecasts from the physics-based reservoir simulator is used as a benchmark and the LSTM model shows a good predictive accuracy while forecasting the long-term production behavior from a well in a conventional oil reservoir. The LSTM model-based deep learning method can be effectively used with real-field data obtained from wells in conventional reservoirs to accurately predict the EUR, and the study provides a comparative analysis of the results and factors affecting the EUR forecasts from the LSTM model and reservoir simulation model. Deep learning methods such as LSTMs have an inherent advantage in identifying trends in time-series data and making forecasts using the data. The existing literature has a limited number of studies that outline the use of deep learning methods for EUR forecasts and this study covers this gap by providing details analyses, best practices and workflows on the use of such methods for conventional oil reservoirs.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Data Science is the current gold rush. While many industries have benefitted from applications of data science, including machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the applications in upstream oil and gas are still somewhat limited. Some examples of applications of AI include seismic interpretations, facility optimization, and data driven modeling – forecasting. While still naïve, we will explore cases where data science can be used in the day to day field optimization and development. The Midway Sunset (MWSS) field in San Joaquin Valley, California has over 100 years of history. The field was discovered in 19011 and had limited development through the 1960s. Since the start of thermal stimulation in 1964, the field has seen phased thermal flooding and cyclic stimulation. Recently there has been an increase in heat mining vertical and horizontal wells to tap the remaining hot oil. As with any brownfield, the sweet spots are long gone. Effort is now to optimize the field development and tap by-passed oil, thereby increasing recovery. The current operational focus includes field wide holistic review of remaining resource potential. Resources in the MWSS reservoirs are produced by cyclic steam method. Cyclic thermal stimulation has been effective as an overall depletion process and for stimulating the near wellbore region to increase production. It is imperative to properly identify target wells and sands for cyclic stimulation. Cyclic steaming in depleted zones or cold reservoirs is often uneconomical. The benefit comes when we can identify and stimulate only the warm oil. Identification of warm oil and short listing the wells for cyclic stimulation is a labor-intensive process. The volume of data can get so large that it may not be feasible for a professional to effectively do the analysis. In this paper, we present a case study of data analytics for high grading wells for cyclic stimulation. This method utilizes the machine power to integrate reservoir, and production data to identify and rank wells for cyclic stimulation and potentially increase success rate by minimizing suboptimal cyclic candidates.

Abstract:

Abstract Cutting transportation is one of the most crucial drilling problems during penetrating shale formations juxtapose well stability events. It is equally important the drilling team should consider real time monitoring to the flow rate based on hole problem in the shale formation being drilled. Several authors have conducted extensive analysis to optimize the optimum flow rate in real time bases but the problem has not been fully understood especially when it comes for hole enlargement. Due to its simplicity, drilling engineers usually use deterministic method to control cutting transportation. The method adjusts drilling parameters such as pump flow rate (FR), plastic viscosity (PV), yield point (YP), Rate of penetration (ROP), revolution per minute (RPM), and mud weight (MW). The past practices of this method did not show significant improvements in well stability's events. This paper will introduce a numerical model to quantify the most sensitive hole cleaning parameters. For that purpose, the research will examine the real time modification of the drilling parameters based on rock fragments for sufficient hole cleaning. A tornado chart has been constructed based on hole enlargement considering hole cleaning, mud weight, elastic viscosity, yield point, ROP, RPM, and well angle. A Monte Carlo simulator has been utilized to reduce the uncertainty in hole enlargement during calculating the optimum parameters. 1000 trials have been fitted to the model based on the range of 0.5 to three times of hole enlargement. This method can articulate a huge impact on selecting drilling parameter based on the probabilistic evaluation. Drilling data from sixty wells in Southern Iraq have been investigated and they revealed a significant augment in none productive time because of the inappropriate selection of drilling parameters deteriorates well stability. This paper develops an engineering method to ensure sufficient lifting capacity to the rock cuttings while drilling an instable formations and it offer acceptable range of flow rate, yield point and elastic viscosity based on the severity of wellbore instability. The traditional wellbore stability is not panacea to wellbore problems without considering wellbore condition. Thus, a combination of all the interstice and extrinsic factors can be crucial in order to drill a well safely and cost effectively.

Abstract:

Abstract For many years, reverse osmosis (RO) elements have been used in the treatment of produced water, including at several sites in California. The RO reduces salts and organics in the produced water to a level that allows for disposal or reuse. The RO elements used to treat produced water are similar in chemistry and construction to the conventional seawater RO membrane. But compared to seawater, the characteristics of produce water are unique and varied. The conventional seawater membrane comes with pressure and temperature limitations that restrict its ability to treat a wide range of produced waters. Specifically, conventional membranes have a temperature limit and a pressure limit. Only a portion of the produce waters needing treatment fall within the membrane's temperature and pressure limitations. Many produced waters, including produce waters associated with SAGD, require membranes that can accommodate higher temperatures up to 60 C. Other produced waters may allow for treatment at ambient temperatures but their higher salinities above 60,000 mg/l TDS require RO membrane to overcome high osmotic pressures and operate at feed pressures up to 1800 psi. In recent years, membrane manufacturers have enhanced their exiting RO elements to address the challenges associated with the treatment of unique industrial streams such as produced water. Specifically, new, more robust element construction allow designers to push beyond the normal limits of temperature and pressure. One such element allows for operation at temperatures up to 90 C while a second, ultra high-pressure RO (UHPRO), can concentrate the total dissolved salts (TDS) up to 120,000 ppm (12%) while operating at pressures up to 1,800 psi (124 bar). These unique elements can be used to increase the overall efficiency of the treatment facility by reducing the cost of brine disposal and maximizing water recovery. This paper will show how these new elements perform when operated beyond conventional pressure and temperature limits - including how individual ion passage and water permeability are affected at extreme conditions. This paper will share element performance data from laboratory and pilot studies. The data will be used as a basis for new designs at the extreme conditions associated with produced water treatment.

Abstract:

Abstract One of the main challenges in production enhancement in mature fields is finding the optimum method to develop different reservoirs under the best exploitation strategy. Ecuador's Eden Yuturi is a mature field where nearly 15% of the field's production comes from a highly laminated, low permeability reservoir with viscous oil properties. The development of this layer requires hydraulic fracturing to economically produce the wells. Hydraulic fracturing was implemented in Eden Yuturi in 2011. The fracturing technology has evolved since then. In 2019, the channel-fracturing technique was introduced, where proppant is pumped in pulses to achieve a heterogeneous placement within the reservoir, creating infinite-conductivity channels. The hydraulic fracture conductivity generated by open channels is higher than a conventional proppant pack. In conventional fractures, flow through proppant is described by Darcy's law; however, for an open fracture channel, the Navier-Stokes equation is applied, implying that effective permeability is 100 times higher. Based on lessons learned for the past 6 years, some of the best practices include: perforating the entire reservoir in cluster, aggressive fracture designs averaging approximately 60,000 lbs of 20/40 proppant pumped, using resin-coated proppant to reduce proppant flowback and using ESP pumps with more robust stages that are well suited to handle solids production and viscous oil. For the frac design, conductivity is increased from 3,500 md-ft to more than 500,000 md-ft with the channel fracturing technique. The associated dimensionless fracture conductivity increased from 2 to 50, and the resulting fracture width increased by 400%. As a result, the average fractured well productivity index increased by two-fold, resulting in higher production rates from 300 to 500 BOPD, ensuring the required volume to be economic as they decline smoothly, reaching cumulative volumes beyond 300,000 bbl of oil per well. This has enabled the Asset to increase reserves in the last campaigns by 2.5 MMbbl. This result leads the NOC to better optimize their development strategy. Nearly 10 MMbbl are estimated to be recovered from this reservoir. Hydraulic fracturing has made the economic exploitation of this tight layer a reality since the reservoir was previously considered an uneconomic target. Through this aggressive strategy, Eden Yuturi Field has become the pioneer in economically exploiting laminated reservoirs in Ecuador.

Abstract:

Doğan Avcıoğlu, says in his famous book, Regime of Turkey that Turkey has oriental roots with attempts to cope to occidental cultures. Since westernization was always conceptualized as economic growtIn and development from the Ottoman times to young Turkish Republic western values and techniques were modified to our country. Although we accomplished in surface the oreintalist roots remained in the core of social structure of country. Thus Turkey attemted to organize capitalist western economic structure in eastern habits. In this study I aim to give some projections for coming decades under those arguments.

Abstract:

Abstract In-situ extraction of heavy sulfured oil based on steam injection comes with a high level of risk in terms of H2S production, resulting from aquathermolysis reactions. This could lead to on-site living being casualties, environment damage, surface facilities and wells corrosion. Also, there is a strong need to understand aquathermolysis reactions and to forecast acid gases generation in such context. For that aim a tailor-made workflow was developed to estimate H2S concentration at the well-head. To meet these challenges, a 3-steps approach combining laboratory studies and numerical predictions has been developed. It firstly consists in a fast preliminary assessment of the highest H2S risk areas, based on the measurements of sulfur characteristics of reservoir core samples using our Rock-Eval Sulfur set-up. Then aquathermolysis experiments from the previously selected core samples are conducted in order to calibrate the compositional chemical model of the reservoir simulator. The latter is eventually used to carry out thermal compositional reactive simulations at field scale. The reservoir simulator allows simulations of SAGD processes and handles H2S distribution over oil/water/gas phases and its migration in these phases. Simulation results show that acid gases are generated within the steam chamber, before they accumulate at the chamber edges where they dissolve in the water and oil phases. This contributes to reduce viscosity, allowing the oil to flow along the steam chamber edges before it has reached the steam temperature. Therefore the H2S produced at surface is mainly carried towards the wells by water and to a lesser extent oil. This flowing oil has not reacted with the steam: its composition is close to the initial reservoir oil but enriched with dissolved gases. The steam chamber shape, the temperature distribution and the H2S produced at surface are strongly modified when heterogeneities are introduced in the reservoir model. Synthetic cases allow a deeper understanding of the effects of heterogeneities. Vertical permeability is thus found to be a key factor of H2S production variations. When steam reaches a lower permeability lithology, a delayed rise in H2S production at wellhead is observed as aquathermolysis reactions rates increase. Finally Foam Assisted-SAGD has been considered. While the foam improves the Steam-Oil ratio, no clear improvement was observed regarding the H2S production.

Abstract:

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a localized dilation of the infrarenal aorta, represents a significant disease in the western population. There are approximately 200,000 patients in the US and 500,000 patients worldwide diagnosed with AAAs every year (Bosch, et al. 2001), and rupture of AAAs currently ranks as the 13th leading cause of death in the US. (Silverberg and Lubera 1987) In the past 30 years, the diagnosis of AAA has tripled in the Western world, and this will likely increase in the coming years as the average age of the population is increasing.
