Full textAbstract:
2022 marks forty years since Patrick Brantlinger posed the question ‘What is Sensational About the Sensation Novel?’ Since then, scholars have continued to probe and extend early definitions of sensation fiction as a short-lived subgenre dealing with secret crimes taking place in genteel Victorian settings. Research on sensation fiction has developed apace, and scholars have developed approaches utilising methodologies from media studies, history of science, disability studies, and beyond. In doing so, they have greatly expanded the range of sensation novelists studied. Such research (benefitting from the enormous spread of digitisation since Brantlinger’s article) has also highlighted the significance of serialisation, adaptation, and experimentation in sensation fiction and the relationship between form and content has continued to be of interest. The past decade has also seen an interest in sensation as a global publishing phenomenon and this has led to scholars tackling more fully issues of race, racism, and national identity in sensation fiction. The articles in this issue build upon these recent interventions and seek to point out possible new paths in the study of sensation fiction.

Sasso, Eleonora. "‘[T]his world is now thy pilgrimage’: William Michael Rossetti's Cognitive Maps of France and Italy." Victoriographies 8, no. 1 (March 2018): 84–99. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/vic.2018.0296.
Full textAbstract:
This paper takes as its starting point the conceptual metaphor ‘life is a journey’ as defined by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) in order to advance a new reading of William Michael Rossetti's Democratic Sonnets (1907). These political verses may be defined as cognitive-semantic poems, which attest to the centrality of travel in the creation of literary and artistic meaning. Rossetti's Democratic Sonnets is not only a political manifesto against tyranny and oppression, promoting the struggle for liberalism and democracy as embodied by historical figures such as Napoleon, Mazzini, Cavour, and Garibaldi; but it also reproduces Rossetti's real and imagined journeys throughout Europe in the late nineteenth century. This essay examines these references in light of the issues they raise, especially the poet as a traveller and the journey metaphor in poetry. But its central purpose is to re-read Democratic Sonnets as a cognitive map of Rossetti's mental picture of France and Italy. A cognitive map, first theorised by Edward Tolman in the 1940s, is a very personal representation of the environment that we all experience, serving to navigate unfamiliar territory, give direction, and recall information. In terms of cognitive linguistics, Rossetti is a figure whose path is determined by French and Italian landmarks (Paris, the island of St. Helena, the Alps, the Venice Lagoon, Mount Vesuvius, and so forth), which function as reference points for orientation and are tied to the historical events of the Italian Risorgimento. Through his sonnets, Rossetti attempts to build into his work the kind of poetic revolution and sense of history which may only be achieved through encounters with other cultures.

Dent, Jonathan. "‘[T]he anguish and horror of her mind defied all control’: The Fragmented Manuscript and Representations of the Past in Ann Radcliffe's The Romance of the Forest (1791)." Victoriographies 2, no. 1 (May 2012): 15–30. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/vic.2012.0057.
Full textAbstract:
Focusing on the Gothic trope of the discovered manuscript, this essay examines Ann Radcliffe's representations of the past in The Romance of the Forest ( 1791 ). Radcliffe's third Gothic novel is set in seventeenth-century Roman Catholic France, but was published in the immediate aftermath of the French Revolution. The narrative follows the plight of its orphan heroine, Adeline, who finds herself taking refuge in a ruined abbey located in a gloomy French forest under the protection of Pierre de la Motte (a Frenchman fleeing Paris with his family). During her stay, Adeline enters a secret room and unearths a decaying manuscript. From this point onwards, the narrative is interspersed with fragments of the script, which records the harrowing experiences of someone who was murdered there many years ago. Concentrating on the manuscript and Radcliffe's utilisation of the Burkean sublime for historical purposes, this paper contends that The Romance of the Forest can be read as a complex response to shifting notions of history engendered by the outbreak of the French Revolution. What does Radcliffe's representation of the script reveal about the past and to what extent are her historical attitudes shaped by the culturally chaotic events of the early 1790s?

Full textAbstract:
The best-selling Victorian novelist Marie Corelli (1855–1924) is a literary figure enmeshed in contradictions. Famously refusing to identify as a New Woman writer, she was known for her womanly heroines and her own ultra-feminine style of dress. She shunned press photographers and ferociously protected her privacy. But Corelli was equally ferocious in her ambition for literary success and fame, and she does not altogether fit in with those women writers of the nineteenth century who staged an outer show of dominant domestic vocation and cast their fame as an unsought consequence of their natural genius. Through examination of Corelli's self-fashioned orphanhood, this article seeks to highlight her as an example of a fin-de-siècle woman writer who resisted consignment to the transgressive New Woman image and more traditional gender roles. Taking Corelli's critically neglected 1914 novel Innocent: Her Fancy and His Fact as its focal point, and analysing the success of her self-fashioning by drawing upon the remembrances of members of Corelli's local community in Stratford-upon-Avon, recorded as part of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust's Oral History Project, this article explores the ways in which Corelli strengthened her orphan identity in her later fiction and, in so doing, strove to legitimise female authorship and celebrity.

Full textAbstract:
At the close of the nineteenth century, amid pervasive fears of decadence and widespread pessimism, Frederic Leighton (1830–96) completed Flaming June (1895). Taking as its starting point Victorian responses to the work that seem incomprehensible to viewers today, this paper examines the possible meaning behind Flaming June's more impenetrable iconography. The following discussion highlights the significance of thermodynamics in the work's cultural context. It examines the impact of an implication of the second law of thermodynamics, known as the Sun's heat death – a fated apocalyptic event – and suggests that this resonated with late Victorian audiences plagued by concerns of degeneration and decadence. Considered within this context, this paper reveals further layers of meaning embedded within the imagery of Flaming June available to a Victorian audience, but which have since been eclipsed by a dominant focus on other aspects of the painting's cultural milieu.

Full textAbstract:
Ouida’s Under Two Flags (1867) is not a widely read Victorian novel today, but it is offers important insight into the philosophical concerns of a novelist who was hugely popular in her time. In Under Two Flags, Ouida explores what she saw as the epistemological problem developing in the nineteenth century, a nihilistic view that promoted scepticism, aestheticism, and idleness, which is a perspective she believed was responsible for the demise of the aristocracy. Wishing to restore the power and position of the aristocracy, Ouida sends her protagonist Bertie Cecil, a dandy who embodies the aestheticism and ennui of the upper class, to the French Foreign Legion in order to make an important social and psychological point. Ouida draws upon the legend that the French Foreign Legion rehabilitated its wayward recruits to present a society in which something is demanded of Bertie and where he rises to that demand. Symbolically speaking, Bertie regains his inheritance and his title in the novel only after a radical transformation that restores him, and by implication the aristocracy, to a foundational moral and chivalrous code.

Abstract. The 1951–2009 drought history of China is reconstructed using daily soil moisture values generated by the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) land surface macroscale hydrology model. VIC is applied over a grid of 10 458 points with a spatial resolution of 30 km × 30 km, and is driven by observed daily maximum and minimum air temperature and precipitation from 624 long-term meteorological stations. The VIC soil moisture is used to calculate the Soil Moisture Anomaly Percentage Index (SMAPI), which can be used as a measure of the severity of agricultural drought on a global basis. We have developed a SMAPI-based drought identification procedure for practical uses in the identification of both grid point and regional drought events. As a result, a total of 325 regional drought events varying in time and strength are identified from China's nine drought study regions. These drought events can thus be assessed quantitatively at different spatial and temporal scales. The result shows that the severe drought events of 1978, 2000 and 2006 are well reconstructed, which indicates that the SMAPI is capable of identifying the onset of a drought event, its progression, as well as its termination. Spatial and temporal variations of droughts in China's nine drought study regions are studied. Our result shows that on average, up to 30% of the total area of China is prone to drought. Regionally, an upward trend in drought-affected areas has been detected in three regions (Inner Mongolia, Northeast and North) from 1951–2009. However, the decadal variability of droughts has been weak in the rest of the five regions (South, Southwest, East, Northwest, and Tibet). Xinjiang has even been showing steadily wetter since the 1950s. Two regional dry centres are discovered in China as the result of a combined analysis on the occurrence of drought events from both grid points and drought study regions. The first centre is located in the area partially covered by the North and the Northwest, which extends to the southeastern portion of Inner Mongolia and the southwest part of Northeast. The second one is found on the central to southern portion of the South. Our study demonstrates the applicability and the value of using modeled soil moisture for reconstructing drought histories, and the SMAPI is useful for analyzing drought at different spatial and temporal scales.

Full textAbstract:
Since it was restored to the English theatre during the 1930s, Volpone has enjoyed a unique currency amongst Ben Jonson's works; it has had a more consistent and successful performance history than any other of his plays. Although its beast fable scheme has apparently rendered it more immediately accessible (and allegedly more universal) than the author's humours comedies, it has also provoked responses of ambivalence and unease, in that its coupling of the animal and the human actively unsettles the ethical relations between nature, culture, economics and morality that the allegory ostensibly intends to clarify. In performance, the play has given rise to a critical discourse of vituperation, deviance and excess which reflects the tensions and contradictions endemic to the cultural vocabulary of anthropomorphism. Theatre practice has dealt with the play's problems and provocations by incorporating the image of the animal into an inclusive, consensual and predominantly realist mode of characterization and mise en scène. A notable exception was in 1968, when Tyrone Guthrie directed a production for the National Theatre at the Old Vic which literalized animal identities to the point of excess. The result was a radically contradictory rethinking of the play, and of the performance vocabularies which have been, and can be, deployed to animate it.

Full textAbstract:
In eusocial insects, inclusive fitness theory predicts potential queen–worker conflict over the timing of events in colony life history. Whether queens or workers control the timing of these events is poorly understood. In the bumble-bee Bombus terrestris , queens exhibit a ‘switch point’ in which they switch from laying diploid eggs yielding females (workers and new queens) to laying haploid eggs yielding males. By rearing foundress queens whose worker offspring were removed as pupae and sexing their eggs using microsatellite genotyping, we found that queens kept in the complete absence of adult workers still exhibit a switch point. Moreover, the timing of their switch points relative to the start of egg-laying did not differ significantly from that of queens allowed to produce normal colonies. The finding that bumble-bee queens can express the switch point in the absence of workers experimentally demonstrates queen control of a key life-history event in eusocial insects. In addition, we found no evidence that workers affect the timing of the switch point either directly or indirectly via providing cues to queens, suggesting that workers do not fully express their interests in queen–worker conflicts over colony life history.

Full textAbstract:
À partir de l'étude d'un corpus de films de fiction sortis en salles entre 1990 et 2012 et dont l'action est située dans les campagnes françaises contemporaines, cette thèse analyse la construction des représentations de la ruralité française sous l'angle des tensions entre permanence et changements.En nous attachant à éclairer la démarche des cinéastes qui ont fait le choix d'ancrer leur récit dans les campagnes, nous questionnons l'influence de ce choix sur les techniques de narration, la mise en scène ou encore la distribution. Vivants portraits, les films sont autant de définitions de campagnes idéelles et sensibles. Que voit-on et qui voit-on dans ces films ? Que font les personnages et que disent-ils ? Comment vivent-ils ? Peut-on parler d'une école ou d'un courant durant cette période charnière ? À la force toujours opératoire d'anciens stéréotypes urbanocentrés répond le désir de certains cinéastes de décentrer les regards, pour explorer une géographie humaineThis thesis analyzes the construction of French rurality's representations in terms of tensions between permanency and change, on the basis of a corpus of fiction films released between 1990 et 2012, which narration takes place in contemporary French countryside. By actively shedding light on the approach of the filmmakers who decided to root their films in the countryside, we question the way this decision impacts narrative techniques, directing or even casting. Films being living portraits, each one is a definition of the countryside, ideal or sensitive. What, and who do we see in those films? What do the characters do and what do they say? How do they live? Can we talk of a “school” or a “wave” defining this pivotal period? Despite the enduring power of old urban-centric stereotypes, these directors are set on off-centering the points of view to explore a human geography

Full textAbstract:
Taking a broadly chronological approach, this volume of original essays traces the origins of the concept of ‘grammar’. In doing so, it charts the social, moral and cultural factors that have shaped the development of grammar from Antiquity, via the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Modern Europe, to current education systems and language learning pedagogy. The chapters examine key turning points in the history of language teaching epistemology, focusing on grammar for language teaching across different European cultural contexts. Bringing together leading scholars of classical and modern languages education, The History of Grammar in Foreign Language Teaching offers the first single-source reference on the evolving concept of grammar across cultural and linguistic borders in Western language education. It therefore represents a valuable resource for teachers, teacher-educators and course designers, as well as students and scholars of historical linguistics, and of second and foreign language education.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter draws out some common threads from the history of emotions in Chinese literature. The first of these threads is orthodoxy. Specific Chinese traditions—and here Confucianism is the case in point—dictated the rules of proper behavior: these rules were considered to regulate even the emotions. The second thread is context. Whether, or how, an emotion was expressed was a product of the venue (textual or otherwise) in which it was to be described or expressed. The third thread is the role of the formula (or, the formulaic) in emotion and its expression, or how we understand professions and descriptions of emotion that are expressed via stock phrases.

Toste, Marco, ed. Questiones super I-VII libros Politicorum. Leuven University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.11116/9789461664402.
Full textAbstract:
This volume is the first complete critical edition of Peter of Auvergne’s Questiones super I-VII libros Politicorum. The Questiones was produced at the Faculty of Arts of Paris sometime between late 1291 and 1296 and is the earliest surviving commentary in question form on Aristotle’s Politics. As the introduction explains, the Questiones was philosophically innovative and became the most influential question-commentary on the Politics in the Middle Ages. The volume also includes a critical edition of an earlier oral report (reportatio) of Peter’s teaching on Books I-II and part of III which became the basis for those sections of the Questiones. This volume is of interest to scholars of medieval philosophy and the history of political thought and is a reference point for future research on the medieval reception of Aristotle’s Politics and medieval Aristotelian practical philosophy more broadly.

Full textAbstract:
The expression of sentential negation follows Jespersen’s Cycle in the history of High and Low German, from a verbal clitic neg-particle (stage I) in the earliest stages of attestation via a bi-partite expression (stage II) to a free adverbial negator (stage III) in the present-day languages. Besides the expression of negation, also the interaction between sentential negation and indefinites in its scope changes, from the original verbal neg-particle co-occurring with n-free indefinites and the neg-particle co-occurring with neg-marked indefinites (Negative Concord) to neg-marked indefinites without a sentential negator, in the wake of the loss of the old neg-particle. Though these developments are largely similar, they happen at different speeds, and differ in points of detail.

Full textAbstract:
Since relevant political actors used the Tokyo Trial as a reference point, a critical reassessment of the trial holds the key to resolving the history problem. First, elements of victor’s justice in the trial need to be critiqued in light of the world-historical context of imperialism and colonialism. This critique will decrease ambivalence that many Japanese citizens feel toward the trial and help them accept Japan’s war crimes decisively. Second, Japan’s victimhood vis-à-vis war crimes of the Allied Powers need to be recognized. Such recognition will allow Japanese citizens to draw on their own victimhood to fully empathize with South Korean and Chinese victims and, in turn, help South Korean and Chinese citizens better understand Japan’s war commemorations. Third, the trial’s government-centered view on Japan’s past aggression needs to be challenged to clarify each Japanese citizen’s share of war responsibility and allow cosmopolitan contrition to become truly nationwide.

Full textAbstract:
This book situates Bhojpuri cinema within the long history of vernacular media production, which was kick-started by audio cassettes and spurred on further with VCDs and DVDs. The emergence of multiplex-malls and the evacuation of single-screen theatres all over north India, at a time of massive real estate development, particularly in peninsular Indian cities, which required working class migrants’ ‘manual labour’ also prepared the ground for new linguistic consolidations and cultural forms. Investigating the historical, theoretical and empirical bases of Bhojpuri media production, the book tries to make sense of cinema within the ‘comparative media crucible’, in which film history sits alongside floods, droughts, musical traditions, gendered segregation, real estate boom, libidinal youth cultures, urban resettlements and highway modernities. The book grapples with Bhojpuri media from within Hindi film history, from the vantage point of provincial north India, in the light of the socio-technical upheavals of the last three decades. Foregrounding the libidinal energies, language politics and curatorial informalities, the book argues that Bhojpuri cinema could be conceptualized via the logic of overflow. Animated by libidinal affordances which have breached all formal embankments, it thrives on a curious blend of scandalizing and moralizing overtones.

Chapter Six confirms the findings of chapter Five, via an examination of the dispute over the name of the town that is either Pointe au Chien or Pointe aux Chênes. Place naming is an important part of place-making: those who name a place are the authentic stewards of the place. The chapter traces the history of the confusion and shows that the long-standing dispute seems to pattern along ethnic lines today. However, via an examination of many factors, including the linguistic landscape, storytelling, and a consideration of semantics, it becomes clear that both groups lay claim to the same space, using the same means to do so. Because place is so closely tied to personal identity, the competing goals of the two sub-groups results in the need to characterize the place differently. The dispute over the name is not a dispute over boundaries or stewardship, but rather over characterization.

This chapter explores the development of pedagogical choices and historical practice via familial and professional mentorship. Rodríguez argues for the critical role of mentorship for the development of women in the historical profession. Naming her work “a history of the gaps,” she discusses widening the definition of historical actors as well as subjects of historical analysis. As an example, the chapter points to the continuum of women acting against racist violence, documenting, analyzing, and historicizing racist violence—against previously masculinist narratives. Demonstrating a “history of the gaps,” Rodríguez’s chapter concludes with the testimonies of Mexican and Mexican American women whose X marks confirmed anti-Mexican murders at the turn of the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the phonological implications of a general theory of language forged by the Danish linguists Louis Hjelmslev (1899–1965) and Hans Jørgen Uldall (1907–57) called Glossematics. Its point of departure is the dual nature of all things linguistic, with the parallel structure of the expression plane and the content plane. Central here is an analysis of Hjelmslev’s two treatments of an expression system, viz. of Danish (1948/1951) and French (1948/1970). The elements of Hjelmslev’s analyses are not traditional phonemes but morphophonological abstract entities. The chapter further describes the impact of Glossematics on the strong Danish tradition of structuralist dialect descriptions and looks at the influence on phonological descriptions of French where André Martinet (1908–1999) plays a key role. Glossematics put much more emphasis on paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations than on a phonetic analysis, and scholars from the glossematic milieu contributed important phonotactic and prosodic studies.

My title is deliberately chosen to reflect that of the comic account of British history 1066 and All That (Sellar and Yeatman 1930), for the same reason that I entitled a previous paper ‘The Catalogue of Ships and All That’ (Dickinson 1999a). In both cases I used it to indicate how an idea has become so embedded in the general consciousness of the educated as to be readily accepted as ‘what everyone thinks’ – or rather ‘remembers’, since, as the authors of 1066 and All That point out in their Compulsory Preface, ‘History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember’ (Sellar and Yeatman 1930: vii).

Russia’s relations with China (and vice versa) have evolved steadily during the post-Soviet period. Leaders on both sides have proclaimed, for a number of years now, that their bilateral relations are at their best point in history. How did the China-Russia relationship reach such a stage, especially given their long (and largely discordant) history? This chapter traces the evolution of China-Russia relations since the collapse of the Soviet Union. It identifies the commonalities and common purposes Moscow and Beijing have in world affairs, as well as their bilateral economic, cultural, and military relations.

The need for a transformation of the teaching and learning process of history has long been called for from the field of history education research. A change is advocated which affects both the methodology and the epistemology of the field and promotes the development of historical thinking. This chapter presents an intervention programme aimed at primary education students in Spain and validated via expert judgement with the aim of contributing to the aforementioned change in the teaching of history by including work on the historical thinking skills along with the use of active methodologies such as gamification. The objective of this chapter is to present this gamified project for the development of historical thinking in such a way that it can serve as a point of reference and to propose a series of steps to facilitate the design of gamified learning experiments.

Full textAbstract:
The author gives an overview of the judicial system through the prism of the French legal theory of public services, according to which the state is a set of public services, namely legislative, administrative and judicial public services. The paper contains a theoretical analysis of the notion of state power and then the notion of public service, services of general interest and French legal theory. Within the concept of public service, the author gives an overview of the history of the emergence of public services. Furthermore, the notion of the judicial system is defined as a type of judicial power and as a type of judicial public service on the other hand for the purpose of their mutual comparison and more detailed analysis. Emphasis is also placed on criminal justice as a part of the judiciary that also provides services of general interest. The aim of the paper is to point out that the judiciary is not only a power, a syntagm that most often appears in the legal literature and practice, but that it also contains elements of public service and represents a kind of "citizen service".

The “Scrapbook Series” was a popular, long-running BBC broadcast launched in the late 1920s; conceived as a ‘microphone medley’ or ‘sonic pageant’, it revisited the acoustic highlights since the advent of recording technology. This remarkable audio documentary provides the starting-point for this Chapter, which explores essential links between cooperative broadcasting policies, Woolf’s heightened acoustic sensibility in the 1930s, and the era’s awareness of itself as being, for the first time in history, dimensioned by reiterable sound. Retracing the evolution of the European Broadcasting Union via sound archives, wave-length legislation, and primetime BBC programmes, the chapter charts the richest, most overlooked experiments in cultural diplomacy on air, designing a safer, more harmonious Europe which linked common listeners at home via the boldly trans-European resonance of music.

Full textAbstract:
The Ludus Danielis, a spiritual game in the Latin language from the late 12th century, is not only a stroke of luck from the point of view of music history, but also from the point of view of media theory. Completely preserved and thoroughly composed through, it represents the possibility of systematically analysing questions such as the specific relationship between the media involved – text and music or melody. Translations inevitably come into view: from text to melody and vice versa. With the help of the monophonic solo song “Surge frater” from the Ludus Danielis, this essay will examine the translation processes in terms of Pierce’s sign types. At issue will be the exercise to carry out a categorical trace-back of text and melody (space, time, movement). A condition for this seems to be a specific semantic momentum of its own in both media, which, in the case of the formation of coherent statements by the interpreter, reveals itself as interference with increasing performative potentials.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Redundant robots find important applications in non structured environment, particularly in presence of obstacles. The number of degree of freedom (DOF) allow a choice of the configuration over range, even when the path has been planned and the constraints have been taken into account. Optimization of the time history, to be planned for the robot, can be achieved with respect to several objective functions. Following to a previous work by the Authors, the present paper analyzes the vibration eigenfrequencies, and their oscillation principal directions applied to a plane 3R manipulator, over its entire workspace. A dynamic performance map, correlated to the robot geometrical parameters, has been calculated via Monte Carlo method.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Milne Point Field initiated the first polymer injection pilots on the North Slope of Alaska starting in 2018 and have rapidly progressed to full-field polymer injection within four years. The two initial pilot projects injected at an initial total rate of 6,000 bwpd utilizing 5 horizontal injection wells. Expansion activities began two years later in 2020 with the addition of 4 additional polymer injection units. By the end of 2021, total field polymer injection rate was 32,000 bwpd via 29 horizontal injection wells. Targeted reservoirs have average permeabilities ranging from 100 – 1000md and in-situ oil viscosities ranging from 40 cp to 1300 cp. Both secondary and tertiary floods are being conducted in both greenfield and brownfield development areas each with varying, yet all promising, results. The highest observed recovery is in a secondary polymer flood pattern at 27% of OOIP with an oil viscosity of 850 cp and no water breakthrough observed to date. Responses in injection well injectivities have ranged from as low as 0% up to 50% loss to date and are observed to be correlated by well spacing and total reservoir mobility. Multiple polymer injection designs exist throughout the field which were driven by existing infrastructure, specific needs from pattern to pattern, and increased learning over time. A logistics system has also been successfully developed that allows for large scale polymer flood on the North Slope of Alaska. The intent of this paper is to a.) provide sufficient historical context to give insight into field development when polymer flood was started b.) highlight what has been done to date in regards to moving from polymer flood concept to near full field expansion and c.) present observed results with the hope that they can help set expectations for future polymer flood projects.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper presents a parameter identification technique for multibody dynamic systems, based on a nonlinear least-square optimization procedure. The procedure identifies unknown parameters in the differential-algebraic multibody system model by matching the acceleration time history of a point of interest with given data. Derivative information for the optimization process is obtained through dynamic sensitivity analysis. Direct differentiation methods are used to perform the sensitivity analysis. Examples of the procedure are presented, applying the technique both to perfect data; i.e. data produced by the assumed model with the optimal choice of parameters, and to experimental data; i.e. data measured on the real system and thus subject to noise and modelling imperfections.

Full textAbstract:
Point process is an expressive tool in learning temporal event sequence which is ubiquitous in real-world applications. Traditional predictive models are based on maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). This paper aims to improve MLE by discriminative and adversarial learning. The initial model is learned by MLE explaining the joint distribution of the occurred event history. Then it is refined by devising a gradient based learning procedure with two complementary recipes: i) mean square error (MSE) that directly reflects the prediction accuracy of the model; ii) adversarial classification loss which induces the Wasserstein distance loss. The hope is that the adversarial loss can add sharpness to the smooth effect inherently caused by the MSE loss. The method is generic and compatible with different differentiable parametric forms of the intensity function. Empirical results via a variant of the Hawkes processes demonstrate its effectiveness of our method.

Full textAbstract:
Stability and non-linear dynamics in a complex aircraft brake model are investigated. The non-linear contact between the rotors ands the stators, and mechanisms between components of the brake system are considered. The stability analysis is performed by determining the eigenvalues of the jacobian matrix of the linearized system at the equilibrium point. Parametric studies with linear stability theory is conducted in order to determine the effect of system parameters on stability. In order to obtain time-history responses, the complete set of nonlinear dynamic equations may be integrated numerically. But this procedure is both time consuming and costly to perform when parametric design studies are needed. So it is necessary to use nonlinear analysis : the center manifold approach and the rational approximants are used to obtain the limit cycle of the non-linear system and to study the behaviour of the system in the unstable region. Results from these nonlinear methods are compared with results obtained by integrating the full original system. These non-linear methods appear very interesting in regard to computational time and also necessitate very few computer resources.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract As a prudent operator, it is mandatory to have structured and justifiable plan along with robust gas transmission and distribution system in place to maximize value through sales of gas molecules from supply to customer, while balancing risk and rewards along the journey through sustainable gas supply. The current study approach is to establish the effective system by commencing the design, development and implementation of Network Simulation Model that can be leveraged to perform effective and resilient gas transmission and distribution to adhere to the commitment in terms of technical specifications and commercial obligations. A robust system to be in place that can be data driven to enable for sustaining gas supply to curb value loss to organization. Simulation Network model was developed from each feeders/field based on its geographical locations, embedded with thermodynamic equations to predict phase envelope, and associated also with flow correlations to establish hydraulics first principle under single platform. Integrating all these components under single platform minimizes data inconsistency and enhances the outcome quality. Post completion of the system architecture in the simulation environment the primary step is to perform history matching. It was observed that lesser the tolerance with past trending numbers, accurate is the future predictions. History matching related to matching of hydraulic principles such as pressure and flow along with the gas specifications to be in line with past trending numbers. Validated and history matched model was further deployed to perform multiple studies such as situational (what-if scenarios), gap analysis, trouble shooting, identification of faulty/bad elements and debottlenecking. All these studies could ensure safe transmission and distribution of gas from reservoir to intended customers. Situational analysis (what-if scenarios) were performed to evaluate to root cause analysis and troubleshoot at various intensities of the network to cater for equilibrium balance. Gap analysis was executed to arrive at necessary alterations to operating philosophy, partial segregation of system to cater for product demand and quality. Diagnostic analytics of end-to-end model could decipher risks for current operations and enabled also lining up of new gas feeders to cater for sustainable demand. System ullage, pressure balance, hydraulic fluxes, critical equipment performance were acknowledged, and model could envisage optimal results backed up with calculated data. Also, network model analysis created one stop point to manage queries from multiple stakeholders in terms of data management, system operability, field evacuation optimization, look-ahead scenarios, product quality assurance and appropriate mitigation by analyzing pain points. It not only qualified technical obligation but also empowered representative economic evaluation for the reforms by appending precise requirement in terms of sizing optimizing location of the compression, field clustering, contaminant managements. Study describes how network modelling approach could access pain points across network and summarizes granularity of a system to facilitate conversation on potential monetization options for identified opportunities and curb value leakage that affects system performance. It elaborates on re-imagine approach that includes innovative and comprehensive integrated modelling can lead to value creation in managing complex network effectively for gas transmission and distribution by sustaining gas supply for assuring stakeholders endurance.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Integrated Asset Modeling (IAM) approach1 is defined as simultaneously modeling the flow through the reservoir up the wellbore and through a surface network. Reservoir simulation history matching is one of the most complex and time consuming process, however, it ensures that the model developed is useful for forecasting and management decisions. By nature, an Integrated Asset Modeling model can be made up of hundreds of nodes, making it complex and difficult to manage if a proper methodology is not implemented to allow an effective history matching, especially when developing all the components of the IAM model. The purpose of this paper is to share lessons learned from a methodology that allows the development of reservoir models via material balance, proper matching of wellbore models and wellbore tests; calibration of the surface network and ultimately, history matching of an Integrated Asset Model, following rigorous quality assurance and quality check procedures. Issues addressed include: characterization of the reservoir-wellbore system, knowledge of main drive mechanisms, aquifer uncertainty, tubing flow assessment. The methodology enabled production history matching of 15 producing gas wells; ensuring that the IAM model developed is therefore a reliable forecasting tool. In addition, Simulation run time reduction was achieved by switching from a rate dependent constrained system to a pressure drop dependant system. Production history matching should precede any numerical simulation study, as it provides useful knowledge of the properties and characteristics of the reservoir-wellbore-surface network, leaving little room for adjustments, which constitutes an excellent starting point for numerical models; hence an IAM approach represents basis for the construction and quality check of more rigorous multi cells numerical reservoir simulation models.
