Full textAbstract:
Myofibroblasts are contractile, α-smooth muscle actin-positive cells with multiple roles in pathophysiological processes. Myofibroblasts mediate wound contractions, but their persistent presence in tissues is central to driving fibrosis, making them attractive cell targets for the development of therapeutic treatments. However, due to shared cellular markers with several other phenotypes, the specific targeting of myofibroblasts has long presented a scientific and clinical challenge. In recent years, myofibroblasts have drawn much attention among scientific research communities from multiple disciplines and specialisations. As further research uncovers the characterisations of myofibroblast formation, function, and regulation, the realisation of novel interventional routes for myofibroblasts within pathologies has emerged. The research community is approaching the means to finally target these cells, to prevent fibrosis, accelerate scarless wound healing, and attenuate associated disease-processes in clinical settings. This comprehensive review article describes the myofibroblast cell phenotype, their origins, and their diverse physiological and pathological functionality. Special attention has been given to mechanisms and molecular pathways governing myofibroblast differentiation, and updates in molecular interventions.

Good health is the ultimatum to longevity. Varna (Skin Complexion) is considered to be an important aspect of health in Ayurveda. Therefore, the quality of skin and its appearance is a key indicator of good health. Deplorable skin conditions impact mental health which may further lead to stress, low personal drive, lack of motivation, fear of communicability of transmitting it to others. At the outset, this article underpins Varnya Mahakashaya of Ayurveda that can be alternatively used as Rasayana and curative medicine than its current extensive use, i.e., cosmetic skin care. Based on analysis and review of classical texts about the application of Varna Mahakashaya (i.e., the formulations that had Varna Mahakashaya as a key ingredient) under three broad categories - Rasayana, Vyadhihara (curative), and Varnya (as a cosmetic) - About 24 formulations lead to effective rejuvenation (Rasayana); 54 formulations were a remedy to skin diseases such as Kushta, Visarpa, Mukhadooshika etc (Vyadhiahara) and eight formulations were typically used for cosmetic purposes (Varnya). Among the group of drugs, Vidari, Yashtimadhu, Chandana and Ushira has been found to be incorporated more in the formulations under the said categories respectively. Therefore, we can conclude that Varnya Mahakashaya not only aids in providing healthy skin or cosmetic purposes, but also plays a vital role in treating a wide variety of skin disorders. This can effectively lead to a balanced, healthy, and stress-free life. In total, Varna Mahakashaya undoubtedly helps improve overall health

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSkin incisions for comprehensive study dissection, composite dissection, composite window corridor dissection and comprehensive window dissections are different. Many authors/practical volumes have described skin incisions for comprehensive study dissections. There is great need to establish, describe and define the incisions for comprehensive window dissections. The authors have studied and practiced their skin incisions for window dissections of various regions of limbs, during the last three years(2010-2012). The authors have established superior, inferior and vertical incision lines and skin was incised according to that. Skin incisions for various regions are made on the basic principle of windows. Superior and inferior incision lines limit the dissection area and vertical incision line provides better scope of expansion and exposure in a window view. The authors have established, described and defined the incisions for various dissection topics which gives better exposure and scope for expansion of dissection layer wise and in better window manner.

Full textAbstract:
The recent development of gamma-ray probes makes it possible to perform radioguided surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). There have only been a few reports, however, regarding the use of a handheld gamma camera to detect parathyroid adenoma intraoperatively. The aim of this preliminary study was to assess the efficiency of a semiconductor gamma camera (eZ-SCOPE AN) in navigation surgery for PHPT. The eZ-SCOPE is designed to be used as a handheld, regional diagnostic imaging device. Eleven consecutive patients with documented primary hyperparathyroidism underwent surgery using this compact camera. Scintigraphy images of the neck by eZ-SCOPE were acquired: 1) before skin incision; 2) after adenoma location; 3) after adenoma excision; and 4) ex vivo imaging of the specimen. In scan-positive cases by preoperative Tc-MIBI, the eZ-SCOPE revealed parathyroid adenoma in all cases (100%), whereas ultrasound and CT showed a single adenoma in 63.6 and 72.7 per cent of cases, respectively. Navigation surgery for PHPT using the eZ-SCOPE permitted intraoperative identification and removal of parathyroid adenoma in all cases. Scintigraphy images of the neck by eZ-SCOPE also revealed a single adenoma even before skin incision. Our results suggest that Tc-MIBI scintigraphy with the eZ-SCOPE is useful for navigation surgery for PHPT. The eZ-SCOPE is useful for skin marking and could be easily applied for minimally invasive radioguided parathyroidectomy in scan-positive cases.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US. Training massage therapists (MTs) in skin cancer prevention and detection cre-ates opportunity for reducing skin cancer burden. Little is known about MTs’ perceptions of skin cancer prevention and detection, their discussions of these topics with clients, or their referral recom-mendations for suspicious skin lesions. Purpose: We surveyed MTs’ perceptions of their role in engaging in conversations about skin cancer prevention, viewing the skin for suspicious lesions, and referring clients with such lesions to health care providers.Setting, Participants, Research Design: We ad-ministered an online survey from 2015–2017 of licensed MTs practicing in the US and at least age 21 years (n = 102); quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed in 2017.Main Outcome Measures: The main variables assessed were MTs perceptions of (a) appropriate-ness for asking clients about skin cancer history, skin cancer prevention, suspicious lesion referral and follow-up; and (b) comfort with recognizing and discussing suspicious lesions, recommending a client see a doctor for suspicious lesion, and discussing skin cancer prevention.Results: Quantitative data revealed that most MTs were amenable to discussing skin cancer prevention during appointments; few were en-gaging in these conversations. MTs were more comfortable discussing suspicious lesions and recommending that a client see a doctor than they were sharing knowledge about skin cancer and sun safety. Categories based on qualitative content analysis were: sharing information for the client’s benefit, and concerns about remaining within scope of practice.Conclusions: MTs have boundaries for skin cancer risk-reduction content to include in a client discussion and remain in their scope of practice. These findings will help support a future educa-tional intervention for MTs to learn about and incorporate skin cancer risk-reduction messages and activities into their practice.

Community health outreach workers (CHOWs) have been demonstrated to increase CRC screening patient education for vulnerable, medically underserved patients as well as increase CRC screening rates in rural populations.1,2 This project examined the effectiveness of CHOWs in increasing CRC screening rates among low-income, underserved ethnic minorities in Portland, Maine. Eligible patients were ages 50-75; due for CRC screening; enrolled in Medicaid or had no health insurance; and spoke Arabic, English, French, Kinyarwanda, Somali, Spanish or Vietnamese. Seven CHOWs were trained in CRC screening outreach and assigned to patients from their own ethnic communities where they employed culturally sensitive interventions to reduce barriers to CRC screening. CHOWs attempted contact with patients by phone four times prior to sending a language-specific letter to patients recommending CRC screening. CHOWs offered fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) or colonoscopy and provided tailored education and frequent reminders for colonoscopies, explanations about procedures for bowel preps, transportation to colonoscopies, reminders and instructions for FIT completion as well as assistance with health insurance and financial barriers. Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to: Define the role of a community health outreach worker (CHOW) in CRC screening. State three common sociocultural barriers patients experience for CRC screening. Identify the efficacy of CHOWs in increasing CRC screening rates.

A integridade da pele é fundamental para a adaptação do recém-nascido (RN) à vida extrauterina. A padronização da avaliação de enfermagem sobre a condição de pele dos neonatos é essencial para a uniformidade no manejo das alterações encontradas. A Neonatal Skin Condition Score (NSCS) consiste em ferramenta amplamente utilizada na avaliação da condição de pele do RN em países cujo idioma é o inglês. Este estudo objetivou realizar a adaptação transcultural e validação clínica da NSCS para uso no Brasil. O método utilizado na adaptação transcultural foi proposto por Beaton e colaboradores. A adaptação transcultural se estendeu de junho a dezembro de 2011. Nesta fase a escala foi traduzida e adaptada para uso no Brasil e foi avaliada a clareza da versão pré-final. Para tal, foram incluídos no estudo 38 profissionais de saúde. A avaliação da clareza da escala foi verificada por meio de escala Likert , tendo como resultado um nível de clareza superior a 80% nas três variáveis da escala. Após a validação transcultural procedeu-se a validação clínica, que teve como delineamento um estudo transversal observacional. Os dados foram coletados entre maio e julho de 2012. Foram incluídos nesta etapa da pesquisa RNs de qualquer idade gestacional internados na Unidade de Internação Neonatal (UIN) e no Alojamento Conjunto mãe-bebê (AC) do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA). A seleção da amostra deu-se por conveniência, totalizando 47 RNs na UIN e 40 no AC. Realizou se um total de 188 avaliações na UIN e 160 avaliações no AC, considerando duas presenciais e duas por imagens digitais para cada paciente. A análise estatística da validação clínica buscou verificar a confiabilidade intra e interobservador por meio dos testes: Kappa ajustado (PABAK), coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (ICC) e método de Bland Altman. A análise da concordância item a item demonstrou boa concordância com uso do PABAK em ambas as unidades. A análise dos escores totais expressos pelo ICC demonstrou resultados satisfatórios apenas na UIN com confiabilidade intraobservador de 0,88 (muito forte) e intraobservador de 0,61 (forte). No AC a confiabilidade intraobservador foi de 0,49 (moderada) e a interobservador foi de 0,24 (fraca). O método de Bland Altman demonstrou qual foi a variação entre os escores intra e interobservadores em ambas as unidades, sendo que na UIN observou-se uma média de variação interobservador de 0,24 com 1,38 para mais e 1,87 pontos para menos enquanto a média de variação intraobservador foi de 0,1 com 0,83 pontos para mais e 1,03 pontos para menos. No AC a média de variação interobservador foi de 0,01 com 1,93 para mais e 1,91 para menos, enquanto na confiabilidade intraobservador a média de variação foi de 0,04, com variação de 1,51 pontos para mais e 1,44 para menos. Conclui-se que a adaptação 6 transcultural e validação clínica da NSCS está evidenciada para uso em UIN, sendo denominada Escala de Condição da Pele do Recém-nascido (ECPRN) na versão adaptada para o português falado no Brasil. Sugere-se a realização de novos estudos em AC, para validação da escala nesta área, bem como estudos de intervenções de cuidados com a pele com utilização da ECPRN.Skin integrity is fundamental for the adaptation of a newborn (NB) to extrauterine life. The standardized assessment of neonatal skin conditions by nurses is essential to ensure that possible abnormalities are handled uniformly. The Neonatal Skin Condition Score (NSCS) is a widely used tool in countries where the language is English. The purpose of this study was to adapt the NSCS cross-culturally and validate it clinically for use in Brazil. The method used for cross-cultural adaptation was originally described by Beaton et al. Cross-cultural adaptation was conducted from June to December 2011. In this phase, the score was translated and adapted for use in Brazil, and the clarity of the prefinal version was evaluated. For that purpose, 38 healthcare workers were included in the study. The evaluation of the clarity of the scale was verified by Likert scale, resulting in a level of clarity above 80% in the three variables. After cross-cultural adaptation was proceeded a clinical validation, which was outlined by a cross-sectional observational study. Data for clinical validation were collected from May to July 2012. Were included in this phase newborns of any gestational age hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and in the Rooming-in Care (RIC) of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA). The sample selection was made by convenience, comprising 47 NB in the NICU and 40 in the RIC. Obtained a total of 188 evaluations in the NICU and 160 in the RC; for each participant, two face-to-face and two evaluations using digital digital images were made. Statistical analyses of clinical validation evaluated intra and interobserver reliability using the following tests: Prevalence-Adjusted Bias-Adjusted Kappa (PABAK), intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots. The item-by-item analysis of agreement revealed good concordance using PABAK in both units. The analysis of total scores according to ICC revealed satisfactory results only for the NICU, with interrater reliability of 0.88 (excellent) and intrarater reliability of 0.61 (good). In the OCU, intrarater reliability was 0.49 (moderate), and interrater reliability, 0.24 (fair). Bland-Altman plots revealed the variation between the scores intrarater and interrater in both units. In the NICU, was an average variation interrater of 0.24, with deviation of 1.38 up and 1.87 down while an average variation intrarater reliability observed was 0.1, with deviation of 0.83 up and 1.03 down. In the RIC, average variation of interrater reliability was 0.01, with deviation of 1.93 up and 1.91 down while the average variation of intrarater reliability was 0.04, with deviation of 1.51 up and 1.44 down. We concluded that the cross-cultural adaptation and clinical validation of NSCS is evidenced to use in NICU, is called Escala de Condição da Pele do Recém-Nascido (ECPRN) in the adapted version for Brazilian 8 portuguese. Further studies should be conducted in the RIC to validate the scale for use in this type of unit as well studies of interventions skin care using ECPRN.

Trabalho Final do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina apresentado à Faculdade de MedicinaIntroduction: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disorder of unknown aetiology, which may involve the skin and internal organs to varying degrees and with different courses. The extent of skin involvement has a major impact on disease prognosis in the diffuse cutaneous subtype of SSc. However, there is scarce data regarding skin course in the limited cutaneous form (lcSSc). Our aims were to investigate skin involvement courses, and identify predictors for these courses, in lcSS patients.Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis including patients with lcSSc fulfilling the 2103 ACR/EULAR Classification Criteria for Systemic Sclerosis. Skin improvement, progression or stable course was defined by a cut-off of 3.5 points change in mRSS from baseline to last appointment. The European Scleroderma Trial and Research group Disease Activity Index (EUSTAR-DAI), clinical and laboratorial features were assessed. Baseline characteristics were compared between groups using chi-square and independent samples t-test, as appropriate. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify possible predictive factors associated with skin course involvement.Results: We included 71 lcSSc patients [87.2% female, mean age at diagnosis 55.7 (SD 11.6) years]. The mean follow-up time was 15.5±9.2 years from baseline to last appointment. Maintenance of mRSS was observed in 65.2% (n=45), improvement in 27.6% (n=21) and progression in 7.2% (n=5) of the patients. A high baseline mRSS was associated with an improvement course (p<0.001). LcSSc patients with an inactive disease (EUSTAR-DAI<2.5) at baseline tend to have a stable mRSS course (p=0.001). In multivariate analysis, a high baseline skin score was predictor of skin improvement course during the follow-up (OR [95 IC]: 21.44 [5.86-78.49], p<0.001).Conclusions: LcSSc patients with advanced skin fibrosis at baseline are more likely to improve skin score than patients with milder skin fibrosis. Recognizing distinct patterns of mRSS course could help tailoring clinical management and cohort enrichment. Studies with a larger sample size will be needed to shed some light on skin involvement and its prognostic value in lcSSc.

In traditional Chinese medicine, syndrome of qi vacuity means that the body of patient has a low level of energy to react to stress. Recently, we used a score, namely QV score, by scaling the severity of symptoms and signs to evaluate the degrees of qi vacuity in patients with tiredness. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the QV score and skin electrical conductance in patients with tiredness. One hundred and forty-three healthy controls and 103 patients with tiredness where involved. Each subject received a weak AC electrical stimulation with a constant voltage (1.75 volt) and the conductance between two different limbs was detected. The mean value of skin conductance among four limbs was calculated and expressed by a special unit, namely Chin. The correlation between the skin conductance and QV score was analyzed by a linear regression analysis. The results show that skin electrical conductance of healthy controls negatively correlates with age (r-coefficient = -0.51, P < 0.001). The skin conductance of patients with tiredness is significantly lower than that of healthy controls with matched age (P < 0.001 by Student's t-test). Moreover, there is a positive correlation between the decrease of skin conductance and the QV score in patients with tiredness (r-coefficient = + 0.68, P < 0.001). These results suggest that decrease of skin electrical conductance may closely relate to the severity of qi vacuity . It is worth to consider using skin conductance test as a simple, reliable and quantitative method for detection of the syndrome of qi vacuity.

This book summarizes the basic features of living fish. It is introduced by a chapter on the diversity of a group which has over 30,000 species, the largest within the vertebrates, describing the classification systems used for them and the variety of their habitats and morphology. Thereafter the physiology of fish is described and discussed initially by categories such as the outer boundary (the skin), the circulatory system, food processing, reproduction, hormones as integrators and controllers, the nervous system and the very complex set of sensory receptors including the eyes, ears, lateral line and electro-receptors. Unusual structures, adaptations and behaviours reveal the breadth of fish lifestyles from deep-ocean to shallow reef habitats, with both fresh water and marine margins favouring some near-terrestrial forms even emerging to spawn. With enormous ranges of size, shape and lifecycles, fish are capable of extreme longevity and amazing adjustments to their environment, including colour change, light emission by photophores and sporadic hermaphroditism (both sexes in one individual). The use of fish types by scientists is discussed. Referenced throughout, the scope of the book includes reviews of historically important and recent discoveries and some speculation on the future for fish and fish conservation. Appendices are provided to give in-depth information on some topics, including material briefly describing practical procedures, relevant to experimentation and aquaculture, which may prompt further investigation. The glossary with explanations of terms, and the copious illustrations help understanding of this complex subject area.

This chapter describes four films that made Mancini feel so betrayed that he would wish seriously to have his name removed from being credited at all. These are Blake Edwards' Skin Deep (1989), Sidney Poitier's Ghost Dad (1990), Blake Edwards' Switch (1991), and Arthur Hiller's Married to It (1991). Mancini's yearning for reprieve from that pinched prosaic kind of scoring—having to fight for every thirty-second cue of synthesized filler, working for those New Hollywood committees that made films by compromise and that certainly had no commitment to the value of a narrative music score—can be felt in the last two pop music albums he would record in 1992 under his aforementioned renewed RCA contract: two programs of old, old songs from the so-called Great American Songbook.

Abstract Since social media have increasingly become forums to exchange personal opinions, more and more approaches have been suggested to analyze those sentiments automatically. Neural networks and traditional machine learning methods allow individual adaption by training the data, tailoring the algorithm to the particular topic that is discussed. Still, a great number of methodological combinations involving algorithms (e.g., recurrent neural networks (RNN)), techniques (e.g., word2vec), and methods (e.g., Skip-Gram) are possible. This work offers a systematic comparison of sentiment analytical approaches using different word embeddings with RNN architectures and traditional machine learning techniques. Using German comments of controversial political discussions on YouTube, this study uses metrics such as F1-score, precision and recall to compare the quality of performance of different approaches. First results show that deep neural networks outperform multiclass prediction with small datasets in contrast to traditional machine learning models with word embeddings.

Full textAbstract:
Conventionally, textiles are known to cover up the human skin, but by scientific administration, clothing can be extended to serve other human skins’ functions. Accepting the chemical and dermatological complexity of human skin, the effect of humidity, microbes, pH, temperature, and wind can be engineered by wrapping it by functional clothing. In this regard, the latest class of textile material has been added called functional textiles. Such clothing materials consist of the potential of delivering more than one functionality apart from its primary function to coverups the human body. This present chapter offers state-of-the-art viewpoints on the application of functional textiles, including assorted concerns. First, the skin responds to various environmental stimuli and then overviews various techniques to incorporate functionalities in textiles. Finally, the applications and future scope and possibilities of research in this field are included in this chapter. Miniaturisation to small micro to nanometre scale is registered as one of the most exciting meadows in engineering and science over the past few decades. This drift also grasps colossal potential to functionalise the textiles. Various techniques are available now to develop a thin uniform film of functional materials on clothing surface to offer extra functionalities hitherto unrevealed to textile processors. These technologies are based on layer-by-layer assembling, immobilisation of enzymes on textile surfaces, nanocoating of textile substances, plasma for nanoscale modifications, and loading of various functional biomaterials micro and nanoencapsulation by minimum influence on breathability, feel, handle, and strength. The manufacturing of functional textiles can be classified into two groups. One is to functionalise the fibre by adding dope additives, modifying the fibre forming polymer, and then converting it to clothing. The fibre surface is also functionalised by adding some resins on the fibre surface. The other is to modify the textile surfaces by functional biomaterials, resins, finishes.

This chapter discusses the concept of the Open in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Jean-François Lyotard. The literal pulse of the body and its movement in response to the world provides scope for arguing that the defining characteristic of an affective spectatorship must be the Open. In Georges Franju’s Le Sang des bêtes/Blood of the Beasts (1949), the rhythms of life encapsulate the shocks, bursts, or surges of energetic flow that connect and open the animals in the slaughterhouse to the ‘felt’ sensations of the spectator. Drawing on Deleuze’s theory of sensation as a diastolic-systolic opening and Lyotard’s conceptualisation of a libidinal economy wherein passages of intensity travel the open ‘libidinal skin’, the behaviour of the rhythm of life, in this chapter, is characterised as a pulse.

Morphing is a technology with high potential to reduce emissions in aviation, since it enables wings to adapt their shape to operate at a higher efficiency over the full range of flight conditions. This paper is presenting a concept to adapt camber by drooping the nose. The scope is the setup and bench top testing of a full scale wing tip leading edge wind tunnel model with a morphing droop nose. The complete model features a span of 1.3 m and a strong taper from the root to the tip. For completeness, the design approach is covered as well. The design comprises a GFRP skin to be drooped by two compliant mechanisms, which are driven by linear motors. The compliant morphing devices are “designed-through-optimization”, with the optimization algorithms including Simplex optimization for composite compliant skin design, continuum-based and load path representation topology optimization methods for compliant internal substructure design. The compliant mechanism is manufactured by nickel-titanium alloy to allow high strains in the order of several percent, which is shown to be critical in the design of such compliant mechanisms. In order to validate the models, strains within the mechanisms are measured while drooping the nose in the bench top test. This is done after installing the mechanisms into the leading edge skin. It can be shown, that the simulation for the inboard mechanism is close to the experimental results. The comparison of strain levels in the skin and in the mechanism during droop reveals that the stiffness distribution between these two components is quite different. As a result this ratio can be taken into account in future design processes in order to distribute strains more evenly. Moreover the 3D shapes of the morphed and clean skin are measured and their comparison with the target shapes is presented as well. Finally, the bench top tests are a proof of concept for the overall concept and design which resultes in a “go” for the following low speed subsonic wind tunnel tests.

Full textAbstract:
A modified low-Reynolds number k-ε model for predicting effects of high free stream turbulence (FST) on transport of momentum and heat in a flat plate turbulent boundary layer is presented. An additional production term incorporating the effects of FST intensity (velocity scale) was included in the TKE equation. The constant cμ in the equation for the transport coefficient μt was modified using empirical information. These modifications were applied to two well tested k-ε models (Launder-Sharma and K-Y Chien,) under high FST conditions (initial FST intensity, Tui > 5%). Models were implemented in a two-dimensional boundary layer code. The high FST data sets against which the predictions (in the turbulent region) were compared had initial FST intensities of 6.53% and 25.7%. In a previous paper, it was shown that predictions of the original models became poorer (overprediction upto more than 50% for skin friction coefficient and Stanton number, and underprediction of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) upto more than 50%) as FST increased to about 26%. In comparison, the new model developed here provided excellent results for TKE in the boundary layer when compared to the data set with Tui = 6.53%. Results for skin friction coefficient and Stanton number were also very good (within 2% of mean experimental data). For the case of data set with Tui = 25.7%, results of skin friction coefficient, Stanton number and TKE have also vastly improved, but still have scope for more improvement. The present model incorporates physics of free stream turbulence in turbulence modeling and provides a new method for simulating flows with high FST. Future work will focus on including length scale effects in the current model to obtain better predictions for the higher intensity case (Tui = 25.7%) and simulate flows typical in gas turbine engine environments.

Full textAbstract:
In this work a torsional wave dispersion in a pre-strained three-layered (sandwich) hollow circular cylinder made from hyper-elastic materials is studied. It is assumed that the material of the core layer is soft than the materials of skin layers and the investigations are carried out within the scope of the piecewise homogeneous body model with the use of the three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies. The mechanical relations of the materials of the cylinders are described through their harmonic potential. The analytical expression is obtained for the low wave number limit values of the torsional wave propagation velocity. Moreover, numerical results on the influence of the problem parameters, such as initial strains arising as a result of the stretching or compression of the cylinders along the torsional wave propagation direction, thickness of the layers, mechanical constants of the layers’ materials and etc, are presented and discussed.

Abstract In this study, the design and development of an autonomous morphing wing concept were investigated. This morphing wing was developed in the scope of, the Smart-X project, aiming to demonstrate in-flight performance optimisation. This study proposed a novel distributed morphing concept, with six Translation Induced Camber (TRIC) morphing trailing edge modules, inter-connected triangular skin segments joined by an elastomer material to allow seamless variation of local lift distribution along the wingspan. An FSI structural optimisation tool was developed, to achieve this optimised design, and to produce an optimal laminate design of fibre Glass weave material, capable of reaching target shapes and minimise actuation loads. Analysis of the kinematic model of the embedded actuator was performed, and a conventional actuator design was selected to continuously operate at the required load and fulfil both static and dynamic requirements in terms of bandwidth, actuation force and stroke. Preparations were made in this study for the next stage of the Smart-X design, to refine the morphing mechanism design and build a functional demonstrator for wind tunnel testing.

Full textAbstract:
A modified low-Reynolds number k-ε model (named YI-diffn. model) for predicting effects of high free stream turbulence (FST) on momentum transport and heat transfer in a flat plate turbulent boundary layer is presented. An additional turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) diffusion term incorporating the effects of FST intensity (velocity scale) and length scale was included in the TKE equation. This model was developed with experience from many years of experimental and theoretical studies in the area of high FST flows. The constant cμ in the equation for the transport coefficient μt was modified using experimental data. These modifications were applied to a well-tested k-ε model (K-Y Chien called KYC in this study) under high FST conditions (initial FST intensity, Tui > 5%). Models were implemented in a 2-D boundary layer code. The high FST zero pressure gradient data sets against which the predictions (in the turbulent region) were compared had initial FST intensities of 6.53% and 25.7%. In a previous paper, it was shown that predictions of the original k-ε models became poorer (over prediction up to more than 50% for skin friction coefficient and Stanton number, and under prediction of TKE up to more than 50%) as FST increased to about 26%. In comparison, the new model developed here provided excellent results (within ±3% of experimental data) for skin friction coefficient and Stanton number for both the data sets. TKE results were excellent for Tui = 6.53%, but have scope for improvement in the case of Tui = 25.7%. The present model incorporates physics of transport of free stream turbulence in turbulence modeling and provides a new method for simulating flows with high FST. Future work will focus upon improving the model further and applying it to practical applications like flow over gas turbine blades.

"Game Changing Cementless Annular Isolation Improving Economical Returns in Deep Water Wells." In SPE/IADC International Drilling Conference and Exhibition. SPE, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/204077-ms.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper will discuss a game-changing and innovative technology that enabled cementless annular isolation (liner to borehole) across the reservoir, removing the risk of previous experienced cost and time overrun from complex cement operations and securing the full economical return on the wells. The technology has been deployed in four Moho North Albian wells, drilled through a complex reservoir with highly laminated lithology requiring efficient zonal isolation for both acid treatment and water shut off. During the earlier field development, many cementing challenges were encountered that increased risk and cost and the ability to deliver effective isolation across the reservoir. Poor isolation leads to poor matrix acid stimulation, higher skin and a higher risk of water production. To address this the operator sponsored an industry challenge to achieve reservoir isolation with cost and risk reduction and to deliver overall efficiency gains. Through dialogue between the Operator and a leading service provider in Open Hole Zonal Isolation, a solution was identified that would effectively replace the cement across the reservoir with a metal expandable annular sealing system. Time for delivery was a key driver to meet the drilling schedule and materialize the cost and risk reductions on the remaining wells. A scope of work was completed that included extensive qualification, manufacture and field deployment. The solution has proven to deliver benefits that address several fundamental aspects which were associated with the cemented liners: Substantial reduction in risk and cost associated with drilling the extended rat hole (shoe track) into the highly pressurized water zone (+/- 100mMD)Removed the risk and cost for the additional run to under ream the 6 ½″ hole to 7 ¼″ (low-ROP)Provided more certainty for zonal isolation whilst delivering effective acid stimulation and maintaining the low skin values. The technology has many different applications within wells where conventional cement is challenged beyond its capabilities and inherently not fit for purpose, due to factors such as well trajectory, hole geometry, reservoir uncertainty, downhole environment (pressure, Temp, ECD) etc. Within these environments, the technology developed for Moho North adds a proven solution to the Operators toolbox, a technology that is already finding alternate applications and planned deployments.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Productivity index (PI) degradation is a critical issue that negatively impacts hydrocarbon recovery. This problem is very common in deepwater environments such as Gulf of Mexico (GOM). In recent years, several publications have addressed this issue proposing integrated workflows to assess and mitigate this problem and providing interesting insights into the causes of this phenomenon. Our organization commissioned a study (Knobles et al. 2017) to understand the reasons for the high productivity declines observed across our assets in GOM and identify lessons learned and best practices to reduce the severity of the PI degradation in cased-hole-frac-pack (CHFP) completions in high-permeability reservoirs (50-1000 mD), which are the most common in our operations. These findings have contributed to improve our CHFP performance. This performance has been assessed based on a completion scorecard that grades and weights the key design and execution parameters of the CHFP completion and yields a score (0 to 100) for the completion execution and productivity. Knobles et al. established a correlation between the productivity score in the completion scorecard and a qualitative ranking of the well productivity performance, namely productivity tiers. The wells in scope were categorized in four groups, tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, and tier 4. Tier 1 is the highest performance level, i.e., low initial skin and low productivity degradation. Later, the completion scorecard was reviewed by a group of completion subject-matter experts (SME) to improve the correlation between the productivity score and the productivity tiers. The updated scorecard enhanced this relationship making it suitable as an indicator of long-term productivity. However, the use of this correlation in production forecasting is limited because of its categorical nature. The objective of this work is to quantify the relationship between the completion scorecard and the productivity performance and use the results to narrow down the productivity degradation uncertainty range in production forecasts. We use data science concepts and tools to analyze our well productivity database, Integral Well Productivity Tracker (IWPT), and develop a numeric correlation between the actual well productivity data observed in the field and the completion scorecard results from the post-job evaluations. The process includes IWPT data wrangling, modeling, and visualization. We performed regression analyses on the normalized productivity index and cumulative liquid production for approximately 120 wells in the IWPT dataset to calculate PI degradation rate for each well and combine them with the completion scorecard results. The results validate the conclusion from Knobles et al.'s work, i.e., a correlation exits between the productivity score from the completion scorecard and the productivity performance. The new, numerical relationship allows us to consider the improvements in completion quality. This quantitative correlation can inform the definition of the productivity-degradation-uncertainty ranges in the production forecast during planning and after the completion job when the completion scorecard results are available. Narrowing down the uncertainty in productivity degradation significantly impacts the estimated-ultimate recovery (EUR) of any GOM deepwater project.
