Abstract (sommario):

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar os conflitos socioambientais provocados pela mineração relacionando-os ao Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Metodologicamente, baseia-se em análise bibliográfica, documental e cartográfica. O desenvolvimento sustentável, propagado como estratégia de mediação de conflitos socioambientais, reforça uma abstrata solução para uma questão estrutural, que é alicerçada na organização do modo de produção capitalista e possui determinantes sociohistóricos, com destaque para os países de capitalismo dependente. Nesse processo, o golpe de Estado intensifica a desregulamentação da mineração brasileira, o que por sua vez, reforça a insustentabilidade socioambiental. Assim, o artigo conclui que o desenvolvimento sustentável escamoteia questões estruturais e que os conflitos socioambientais se dão pela expropriação dos recursos naturais, velados pela relação de classe.Palavras-chave: Desenvolvimento sustentável. Conflitos socioambientais. Expropriação. Capitalismo dependente. Mineração.SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND THE SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICTS CAUSED BY MINING UNDER THE BANNER OF DEPENDENT CAPITALISMAbstractThis article aims to analyze the socio-environmental conflicts caused by mining related to Sustainable Development. Methodologically, it is based on bibliographic, documental and cartographic analysis. Sustainable development, propagated as a strategy to mediate socio-environmental conflicts, reinforces an abstract solution to a structural issue, which is based on the organization of the capitalist mode of production and has socio-historical determinants, especially for countries with dependent capitalism. In this process, the coup intensifies the deregulation of Brazilian mining, which in turn reinforces socioenvironmental unsustainability. It is concluded that sustainable development ignores structural issues and that socioenvironmental conflicts are caused by the expropriation of natural resources, veiled by class relations.Keywords: Sustainable development. Social and environmental conflicts. Expropriation. Dependent capitalism. Mining.

Abstract (sommario):

This article argues that popular revolution was closely tied to the establishment of capitalism. Contrary to the revisionist George V. Taylor’s view that the Revolution had nothing to do with the advance of capitalism because financial and productive capital were divided from one another, this article contends that the Revolution played a critical role in tying them together. Prior to the Revolution financiers began to make limited investments in wholesale trade, manufacturing and mining. But during the revolutionary crisis the sans-culottes pushed the Jacobins to create a national money and to curb speculation in order to foster production and exchange and reduce unemployment. With speculative activity blocked by popular resistance and state interference, bankers and other capitalists increasingly turned to productive investments and forged a link between financial and productive capital which proved crucial to further capitalist accumulation.

Abstract (sommario):

In the last decades of the nineteenth century, American mining engineers fanned out around the globe to potential or existing mines in China, Mexico, Siberia, South Africa, and beyond. This article examines the rise and work of mining engineer John Hays Hammond and the mining engineers, geologists, and capitalists with whom he worked. The paper reveals ways that a segment of the investor class depended upon members of the emerging professional middle class of university-trained mining experts for collaboration—and even inspiration—regarding possible sources of remunerative investment. The search for raw materials abroad opens up a chapter in the history of U.S. capitalism in which mining engineers like Hammond encouraged and facilitated a new phase of export of redundant U.S. capital and manufactured goods in a direction where investment would be secure, labor recruitable, and profits attractive and subject to repatriation. Filling in this vital narrative makes an essential contribution to the ongoing recovery of the history of the U.S. and world capitalism in the era of rapid industrialization.

Abstract (sommario):

Deforestation for mining can threaten the balance between human life and nature. This research was aimed to reveal language and power in some media to report deforestation in Buxwaha protected forest of Madhya Pradesh, India. The data were obtained from The Quint and The Times of India as most influential English-language digital media. Fairclough’s CDA theory was used to analyze the data for scrutinizing the connection of language in social use, power, and capitalism as the ideological element. Noticeably, the results showed power represented by local government and mining ministry that tend to accede to the proposed project without considering the ecological collapse Firstly, based on SFL theory, as the textual analysis the total of 40 data proved dominant process of material, mental, and verbal. Secondly, there was bias media to support the mining project by both online newspapers as the discursive practices. Thirdly, in prioritizing the beneficial business, India as a developing country and private company were elaborated as the socio-cultural contexts. Thus, this research expectantly participated to reconsider awareness on the ignorance of deteriorating social and environmental effects for capitalist goals.

Abstract (sommario):

Women mostly depend on agriculture, which indicates that women have their economic resources to help the family economy. The presence of the Kulon Progo Coastal Farmers Association of Farmers is the beginning of a bright future for farmers, women. This article discusses the empowerment of women in the Kulon Progo Coast Farmers Association. The purpose of this study is to find out how far women can be empowered with the organization of the Kulon Progo Coastal Farmers Association. This research is a qualitative study with data collection techniques using a purposive sample. The data collection process is done by in-depth interviews and snowball after the key informant is found. The data obtained were analyzed using the Longwe analysis framework. The results of this study indicate that female farmers are equal in agricultural areas, but in the political domain (organization) female farmers are still below male farmers.

Abstract (sommario):

AbstractThis article analyzes the impact of colonialism on nineteenth-century Native California communities, particularly during the American annexation of the West and capitalist ventures in mining and milling towns. Using the case study of Mono Lake Kutzadika Paiute employed by the Bodie and Benton Railroad and Lumber Company at Mono Mills, the lasting legacies of colonialism and its impacts on contemporary struggles for self-determination are explored. The study highlights the role of capitalism as a potent form of colonialism and its enduring effects on tribes’ ability to meet federal acknowledgment standards. This approach contributes to a richer understanding of colonial processes and their impacts on indigenous communities both historically and today.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract This case study examines how a group of late nineteenth century Victoria businessmen adjusted to the transition from traditional family capitalism to joint stock company management of a remote speculative mining venture. They encountered numerous unfamiliar obstacles including prejudicial management, the long-distance factor, public investors, and innovations in advertising and financing. Ultimately, Victoria’s unique geography and cultural setting foiled their efforts to establish themselves as Western Canada’s centre of venture capitalism.

Abstract (sommario):

The wave of working-class radicalism that swept across France at the turn of the twentieth century has largely been attributed by historians to the pressures of industrialization undermining traditional methods and organizations of labor. However, the Angers slate mining industry experienced a very stable production process from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries limited as much by the environment as by the economy. Working-class formation here instead must be understood in contradistinction to capitalist-class formation coming in response to those same economic and environment factors. The steady growth of an entrepreneurial class in the slate mines around Angers, France, took place within a legal and social framework that allowed mine investors to begin associating and identifying as a class distinct from their workers. It was against this capitalist-class formation that workers began organizing in order to preserve the social organizations and independence they had enjoyed in the pre-capitalist era.

Abstract (sommario):

Between 1889 and 1914, American mining engineers drew on their experience in mining in the American West into management positions with prominent mining finance firms in the British Empire. The careers of three engineers, Hennen Jennings, John Hays Hammond, and Herbert Hoover, demonstrate their influence on British gold mining investment and on the imperial system. The professional biographies of these engineers demonstrate their racialized labor practices, access to technology and capital, ideas about management, and willingness to interfere in the politics and economies of sovereign nations for the interests of the mining finance industry, notably the Transvaal Republic and late Qing China. In their actions in the colonies, they employed the latest mining technologies to extract gold from low grade ores, imposed labor conditions on the basis of race (including the legal foundations of Apartheid in South Africa), and directed investment capital toward profitable mining in support of the monetary gold standard and shareholder dividends. Along with hundreds of other mining engineers, they oversaw a world-historical expansion of the world’s gold supply through the expansion of gold mining on the Witwatersrand in the Transvaal Republic and in Western Australia, effectively doubling the world’s supply of gold in two decades.

These engineers were agents of transnational extractive capitalism and the British and American empires. As an integral component of their careers, they operated in the core of empire: major centers of investment such as London and New York, the media and publishing worlds, and even world’s fairs. They communicated their professional activities and technical developments through the Engineering and Mining Journal, the premier mining publication of the era. They promoted world’s fairs, ensuring that mining was prominently featured as an aspect of civilization at these expositions. They also acted as public intellectuals, speaking and publishing on topics of empire, well beyond the purview of the mine. Based on archival research, contemporary technical journals and media accounts, and autobiographical documents, this dissertation analyzes the influence of American Mining Engineers, both good and bad, in shaping the British Empire and the modern world system before the outbreak of World War 1.

Abstract (sommario):

The Winn family were landowners with estates at Nostell in Yorkshire and Appleby in Lincolnshire. Their property was mainly agricultural but included a small colliery on the Yorkshire estate. In the late 1850s the Winns’ land was heavily mortgaged and the family was in financial difficulty. The thesis centres on the successful efforts led by Rowland Winn (1820-1893), elder son of the landowner Charles (1795-1874), to restore the estates’financial ‘equilibrium through the exploitation of their mineral resources. Edmund Winn (1830-?1908), Rowland’s younger brother, supported him in these endeavours, as did George Winn (1863-1952), Rowland’s fourth son. The thesis places the Winn family in the context of the mid-nineteenth century landowning class, with particular reference to their characteristic attitudes to the preservation, management and economic development of landed property. The Winns’previous experience in mining is linked to their plan for a new and larger colliery at Nostell, which they considered the best opportunity for increasing the income from their estates. This plan was overtaken by the discovery of ironstone on the Lincolnshire property, and the thesis investigates the Winns’ rationale for leasing the stone rather than mining it on their own account. The ironstone generated a rapid and growing income and, building on this success, the Winns sank a new colliery at Nostell that opened in 1866. Unlike the ironstone, the colliery was directly financed and managed by the Winn family, who took on the full capital risk of the venture. The thesis investigates the sources of the colliery capital, and considers the running of the colliery between 1866 and 1914 from the perspectives of accounting policy, transport and logistics, marketing and management. It concludes that in establishing and running the colliery the Winn family combined the characteristic and in some ways contrasting approaches to entrepreneurialism and management of the landowning class, and of the personal capitalists who dominated contemporary British industry. The conclusion challenges the suggestion that the mid-late nineteenth century landowning class had an inherent dislike of all forms of industry. The thesis also attempts to contribute to the knowledge of the evolution of marketing and management in the Victorian and Edwardian coal industry.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation is an historical examination of policy and discourse as it impacts on ecological questions in South Africa, with a focus on land, mining and fishing. It shows how ecological issues are embedded in relations of class, race and gender. It argues that relation of nature and society and social relations form each other historically. Specifically, it makes visible how apparently progressive ideas to overcome the legacy of apartheid have served to perpetuate the ecological crisis after the end of apartheid. That is, although liberation ideology aims to overcome irrational and harmful forms of domination, current strategies of overcoming racial dispossession on the basis of capitalism rely on increasing and unbridled exploitation of natural resources. The dissertation concludes with a consideration of political perspectives and agency responding to the ecological crisis in South Africa today. It provides a survey of government, activist and community initiatives and assesses their capacity to help create a new relationship of nature and society, as the basis for a new society.

Abstract (sommario):

During the summer of 2013, fierce protests broke out against a test-mining operation in Gállok (Kallak) outside Jokkmokk, Sweden. Environmental activists joined with local indigenous Sámi in the protest. The incident made national and international headlines, resonating with other instances of conflict between mining companies and indigenous peoples around the world. This thesis aims to explore political discourses and historical narratives behind those, and other, protests and tensions in relation to mining between, on the one hand, the Swedish state which express – through various institutions – to be a proud 'mining nation' with a firm environmental legislation, and, on the other, indigenous Sámi in the Swedish north. Using discourse analysis in combination with a novel application of concepts from narrative theory (the concept of masterplots), the narratives and ideologies of the national institutions responsible for decision-making in mining affairs in Sweden – the government, the parliament, and the Mining Inspectorate – are investigated by analyzing various written and verbal sources. The investigation show a coherent trend within the institutions in making the Sámi people, their rights to land and water, and Sweden's colonial history towards them and their land, Sápmi, invisible, misunderstood, and/or belittled. Mining is understood as an evidently vital and typically Swedish industry, fundamental for the rise of Sweden as a modern welfare state, and an industry which 'makes the world better' by providing the necessary raw materials for the (assumed) inevitable progress and benefit of (western) technology and (western) civilization. The exclusion of certain histories allow for a hegemony in which a certain future is naturalized, made out to be unavoidable. Furthermore, the plot structures employed to create and sustain the hegemony draw on several colonial masterplots. The conclusion of this thesis is that the hegemonic discourse sustains a colonial attitude towards Sápmi and the Sámi people, without it ever being expressed nor understood as such.

Abstract (sommario):

Following years of speculation about the potential economic value of mineral deposits in northeastern Minnesota, the first full-scale attempts to exploit that potential began in 1882. That year, the Minnesota Iron Company (MIC) imported dozens of miners to start extracting iron ore from the Soudan Mine on the south shore of Lake Vermilion. They concurrently imported hundreds of men to Agate Bay on the north shore of Lake Superior, approximately 70 miles south of the mine. The MIC selected Agate Bay as the spot for their ore shipping port and they needed men to start the simultaneous construction of an ore dock in the harbor and a railroad north from the harbor to the mine. Immediately after choosing Agate Bay as the spot for their shipping port location, the MIC bought up all the land along the north and west sides of Agate Bay except for a four-acre parcel that owner Thomas Sexton refused to sell. As the MIC-controlled community of Two Harbors developed around it, Sexton's parcel, which he platted as the community of Agate Bay, remained outside of company control. It quickly developed a reputation as a sea of iniquity that eventually became known as "Hell's Four Acres," which included a particularly notorious section called Whiskey Row. Sexton's platted community of Agate Bay existed for just a few years before the iron company acquired it early in 1886. At that point the company removed or demolished all of the remaining structures and covered much of what had been the settlement of Agate Bay with a coal storage platform. This project examines the town site of Agate Bay by looking at the documentary information in the historical record as well as the material culture remains recovered during archaeological excavations. Agate Bay is examined in terms of its position in a world economy (World Systems Theory) with consideration of the potential impacts of industrial capitalism.

Abstract (sommario):

A partire dal contesto fertile e dinamico della Provincia Nord in Nuova Caledonia e della recente costruzione di un’industria di trattamento del nichel (Koniambo-Nickel) la tesi vuole far emergere la peculiarità di un milieu nel quale è la popolazione autoctona stessa, o meglio una sua parte significativa, a impegnarsi a de-costruire una concezione demoniaca e coloniale dell’industrializzazione. Con un impianto che mescola etnografia e riferimenti teorici volto a far emergere in ogni parte l’interazione tra attori, pratiche e discorsi, la tesi è suddivisa in tre macro-sezioni che presentano ciascuna un focus diverso (politico, ambientale ed economico) da cui guardare lo stesso “oggetto di studio”: l’engagement dei Kanak nel settore minerario e metallurgico. Nello specifico, nella prima parte si analizza come gli indipendentisti kanak, azionisti maggioritari di uno dei più importanti impianti di trattamento del nichel al mondo, organizzano la problematica coesistenza tra il capitalismo e le economie morali in un periodo contrassegnato da un processo di decolonizzazione. Nella seconda parte, l’attività mineraria viene riletta attraverso la lente della metafisica Kanak. Analizzando l’intersezione tra l’economia delle miniere e il mondo invisibile degli spiriti e degli antenati, si supera l’idea di una cultura e di un’economia considerate come “fuori” dall’ambiente. La terza parte, infine, è dedicata a far emergere l’intreccio tra la governance locale e la governance d’impresa, così come le modalità economiche di inclusione (ed esclusione) della comunità locale nel progetto Koniambo. Il caso etnografico in questione risulta peculiare in quanto fa emergere uno spazio intermedio alla rigida dicotomia tra assoggettamento e resistenza. I Kanak, decolonizzando il nichel, cercano di scrollarsi di dosso l’eredità coloniale pur sapendo di restarne in qualche modo prigionieri. Scelgono di farlo disinnescando dall’interno quei meccanismi di diseguaglianza e di esclusione prodotti dalle politiche coloniali e dal monopolio minerario francese. Si riappropriano della risorsa ripensandola secondo un modello che vuole differire da quello della classica enclave. Non si tratta tanto di un processo di indigenizzazione ma di una volontà di esserci nella “modernità” e nel mercato globale, apportando al contempo la propria impronta culturale. Questa tesi non si limita ad una lettura neoliberista e post-coloniale che si concentra sulle dimensioni di violenza e sfruttamento riducendo l’incontro/scontro coloniale a delle rigide dicotomie. Focalizzando la lente etnografica soltanto sull’azione di estrazione della risorsa e di rimozione della terra, si rischia di “extrahĕre”, “trarre fuori”, anche quei margini e quei residui in cui il capitalismo e la cultura entrano in relazione e contribuiscono a creare la “località”. E’ alla montagna che invece si volge lo sguardo etnografico. Questa non è un mero sostrato materiale che fa da sfondo all’incontro tra la multinazionale e il paesaggio, bensì un insieme di relazioni ambientali e quindi di pratiche culturali. La montagna è laddove si intersecano forze economiche e forze religiose, in cui si gioca la ricerca dell’equilibrio tra la coutume e le pratiche imprenditoriali contemporanee e si stabiliscono nuovi modelli che riconoscono la connessione sociale delle imprese. E’ in questo senso che il minescape appare come una co-abitazione di spazi, una configurazione di attori umani e non umani che non si dà mai una volta per tutte.
Starting from the fertile and dynamic context of the Northern Province of New Caledonia and the recent construction of a nickel processing industry, the thesis aims to bring out the peculiarity of a milieu in which it is the indigenous population itself, or rather a significant part of it, to engage in a deconstruction of a demonic and colonial conception of industrialisation. With a mix of ethnography and theoretical references aimed at showing the interaction between actors, practices and discourses, the thesis is divided into three macro-sections (political, environmental and economic), each presenting a different reading lens to analyse the same "object of study”: the engagement of Kanak in the mining and metallurgical sector. Specifically, the first part analyses how the Kanak independentists, majority shareholders of one of the most important nickel treatment plants in the world, organise the problematic coexistence between capitalism and moral economies in a period marked by a process of decolonisation. In the second part, mining activity is re-read through the lens of Kanak metaphysics. By analysing the intersection between the mining economy and the invisible world of spirits and ancestors, we overcome the idea of a culture and economy considered as "outside" the environment. The third part, finally, is dedicated to bring out the intertwining of local governance and corporate governance, as well as the economic modalities of inclusion (and exclusion) of the local community in the Koniambo project. This ethnographic case is peculiar in that it reveals an intermediate space to the rigid dichotomy between subjection and resistance. Kanaks, by decolonising nickel, try to shake off their colonial heritage while knowing that they remain somehow prisoners of it. They choose to do so by unleashing from within those mechanisms of inequality and exclusion produced by colonial policies and the French mining monopoly. They re-appropriate the resource by rethinking it according to a model that wants to differ from that of the classic enclave. It is not so much a process of indigenisation but a desire to be in "modernity" and in the global marketplace, while at the same time bringing its own cultural imprint. This thesis is not limited to a neoliberal and post-colonial reading that focuses on the dimensions of violence and exploitation, reducing the colonial encounter/clash to rigid dichotomies. Focusing the ethnographic lens only on the action of extracting the resource and removing the earth, there is a risk of "extrahĕre", "drawing out", even those margins and residues where capitalism and culture come into relation and contribute to create the "local". It is to the mountain that we turn our ethnographic gaze instead. This is not a mere material substratum that is the background of the encounter between the multinational company and the landscape, but a set of environmental relations and therefore of cultural practices. The mountain is where economic and religious forces intersect, where the search for a balance between coutume and contemporary business practices is played out and new models are established that recognise the social connection of businesses. It is in this sense that the “minescape" appears as a co-habitation of spaces, a configuration of human and non-human actors that is never given once and for all.

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of this thesis is to centre three people’s stories, their experiences and un- derstandings of the Swedish planning framework for mining establishments. The sto- ries centred are from Sami people whom in different ways analyses, questions, chal- lenges and changes the diverse expressions of colonialism, racism and capitalism within this framework. Through centring indigenous and decolonial planning this the- sis tries to expose colonial planning practices and how indigenous knowledges, worldviews and perspectives are made marginalised. But at the same time it reformu- lates, reconstruct and reimagines planning where non-hierarchical and relational thinking is centred. This thesis is made through guidance of (mainly) indigenous and decolonial theories, methodologies and methods.

Abstract (sommario):

Recently, there has been a growth of risk-based governance in coal mining safety regulation in many European and commonwealth countries. However, it is puzzling that the progress is much slower in the U.S. This dissertation seeks to explore this puzzle by examining the question what are the barriers keeping the American coal mining industry and the U.S. government from moving toward risk-based governance? Based on the theoretical framework introduced by Braithwaite and Drahos (2000), particularly the theory of modeling, this research found three major barriers that keep the American coal mining industry from fully embracing the model of risk management. First, the existence of a large number of small operators prevents this model from being diffused in the industry. Second, increasingly prescriptive regulations have consumed the resources that companies could use to develop risk management systems and have created a mentality of compliance that is not compatible with the idea of risk management. Third, a group of model mongers, missionaries, and mercenaries have advocated a competing model â behavior-based safety â that is more attractive to the industry. This dissertation also found that the lack of three factors helps explain the failure of the U.S. governmentâ s move toward risk-based governance: (1) strong imitative pressure from general occupational heath and safety (OHS) regulation; (2) strong model mongers, missionaries, and mercenaries; and (3) webs of dialogue.

Abstract (sommario):

This reflection examines the intersection of art, mining and sustainability through the creation of the Heavy Metal Suite—a collaborative musical project exploring the future of minerals and mining. The music was composed by artists from across the globe, and premiered in a Vancouver performance by Axiom Brass on Earth Day (22 April) 2024. The Suite comprises eight compositions focused on the key resources of copper, lithium, zinc, gold, silver, platinum, water and silicon. Each movement explores the intrinsic chemical properties of these resources, and develops the themes of colonialism, capitalism and consumption relevant throughout this volume. All of the composers contributed a movement to the Suite, inspired by a resource with particularly relevance to their own country. Following a brief introduction to the conception and evolution of this project by Philippe Tortell and Dorival Puccini, Jr., the founder of Axiom Brass, the eight composers reflect in turn on their creative processes and the resultant musical works.

Abstract (sommario):

AbstractIn recent years, and since the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in particular, we have seen an increased interest (and concern) about the amount of private information that is collected by the applications and services we use in our daily lives. The widespread collection and commodification of personal data has been mainly driven by companies collecting, mining, and selling user profiles for targeted advertisement, a practice also referred to as “surveillance capitalism.” However, as we detail in this chapter, this is not the only form of surveillance and can be necessary and even beneficial by increasing the safety of citizens—if it is aligned with the principles of digital humanisms in providing transparency, oversight, and accountability. We also detail mechanisms users can deploy to protect their own privacy, as well as mechanisms that help to develop more privacy-friendly technologies.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract The purpose of this study is to help industry practitioners learn how to get the most benefit from attending technical conferences (organizing attendees to participate in the highest impact talks, maximizing vendor interactions, and using data analytics to identify prevailing technology trends and research partnerships). Using the SPE/AAPG/SEG Unconventional Resources Technology Conference (URTeC) as a case study, we illustrate a systematic approach to gather useful competitive intelligence information and communicate findings from a technical conference to various internal stakeholders (business units, research, laboratory). We utilize a hybrid approach involving statistical data mining and soliciting curated input from subject matter experts during the conference life-cycle (before, during, after). Our approach relies on easy-to-use templates for practitioners to apply the methods described in this paper. Broadly, our process flow is: (1) Identify important talks (2) Ensure proper attendance levels to cover key talks but not overload people (3) Synthesize the most important technical content (automated and human-derived) (4) Balance stakeholder needs (business versus centralized researchers) (5) Use data mining/data analytics to discover key technology and partnerships trends (6) Disseminate condensed learnings for business consumption. We found that our systematic approach maximized the value of attending URTeC with respect to the significant people-hours and direct financial costs invested in the effort because it simplified an otherwise unstructured and overwhelming effort (akin to herding cats) into a series of smaller more manageable decisions to enable a coherent dissemination of technical information to the business. Based on 5+ years of organized competitive intelligence gathering at URTeC, we recommend giving attendees (especially business and laboratory) more flexibility to interact with vendors/speakers. We resisted the temptation to "over-book" attendees with assigned talks and allowed almost two-thirds free time to capitalize on "day of" opportunities. The tangible outcomes of our "playbook" include the following: (1) Dominant technical topics (via text data mining) and their evolution through time (2) Paper "market share" plots vs time to track overall industry participation levels and identify the dominant conference participants (3) Affiliation mapping to identify partnerships (IOC's, universities, service companies, independents) (4) Efficient scheme to manage personnel time (w/ different objectives and priorities) (5) Communicating company benchmarking for key technology topics (value versus relative skill against competitors) (6) Templates/procedures that could be adapted for other technical conferences. We believe strategic coordination of conference attendance will benefit the broader industry and that sharing our URTeC "playbook" can aid companies in developing and improving their own conference participation. Increased budgetary scrutiny has encouraged streamlining of conference participation for competitive intelligence analysis. Our personal experience affirms the value of integrating partners such as library science professionals with technical experts for formal upstream technology benchmarking and competitive intelligence gathering via technical conferences.

Abstract (sommario):

Recent developments in applications such as computer data centers, electric vehicle power electronics, avionics, radars and lasers have led to alarming increases in heat dissipation rate, which now far exceeds the capability of air cooling schemes and even the most aggressive single-phase liquid cooling schemes. This trend is responsible for a recent transition to two-phase cooling, which capitalizes upon the coolant’s latent heat rather than sensible heat alone to achieve several order-of-magnitude increases in heat transfer coefficient. Three two-phase cooling configurations have surfaced as top contenders for the most demanding applications: mini/micro-channel, jet and spray. This study will explore the implementation of these configurations into practical cooling packages, assess available predictive tools, and identify future research needs for each. It is shown that the design and performance assessment of high-flux, two-phase cooling systems are highly dependent on empirical or semi-empirical predictive tools and, to a far lesser extent, theoretical mechanistic models. A major challenge in using such tools is the lack of databases for coolants with drastically different thermophysical properties, and which cover broad ranges of such important parameters as flow passage size, mass velocity, quality and pressure. Recommendations are therefore made for future research to correct any critical knowledge gaps, including the need for robust computer algorithms. Also discussed is a new class of ‘hybrid’ cooling schemes that capitalize upon the merits of multiple cooling configurations. It is shown that these hybrid schemes not only surpass the basic cooling configurations in heat dissipation rate, but they also provide better surface temperature uniformity.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Forecasting production from unconventional reservoirs is a slippery slope that could lead to unrealistic results even though a model has been history matched with production history and vetted by experienced engineers. The reasons for failing conventional decline curves lie in convoluting and heterogeneous reservoir properties, advancing drilling and completion techniques, and dynamic production and operations management. However, the initial rates, declining rate, and ultimate recovery of a well can be viewed as relatively static and predetermined properties of a declining profile. This paper will propose a machine learning-based framework to determine these properties for unconventional reservoir development. In the proposed algorithm, instead of directly data mining on the raw data from different categories and scales, we propose to convert these data into dimensionless variable groups to reduce the dimension of the problem. The dimensionless variables are developed using inspection analysis; most have physical meanings and are easy to upscale. In the case study, we used the production, completion, and petrophysical data to generate new type curves and developed a step-by-step process to explain the aspect of "engineering" code that incorporates physics into the machine learning (ML) process. Dimensionless variables are used in the machine learning process giving physical meaning and reducing the number of predictors, thus improving the speed and efficiency of the code. The results show that the quantity of cumulative oil production over time can be determined using machine learning models with R2 >= 0.90 for individual wells and R2>=0.80 for cross-validated cumulative production forecasts. We can use these determined values to assess the quality of initial rates, declining rates, and ultimate recovery to derive new type curves that incorporate physics and engineering practices. The work emphasizes the importance of accounting for completion parameters, fluid properties and rock quality, thus improving the confidence in results obtained through traditional engineering methods. The machine learning model results provide credibility and support to rates and recoveries for DCA forecasted wells. When modeling hundreds if not thousands of wells, this work shows the importance of utilizing machine learning to harness the power of the data that has been collected on them. The machine-learning-based declining profile is a promising technique and has some advantages over the classical methods based on averaging historical data. First, the determining parameters are highly scalable for newly drilled wells as the main input parameters are dimensionless variables derived from reservoir properties and well completions. Secondly, this algorithm explores not only the production data but also reservoir properties and completion data to capitalize on the advancing techniques.

Abstract (sommario):

The present paper presents the opportunities to ellaborate a personalized and interactive content for teaching-learning-self assessment and assessment, with the help of a Moodle platform-the Lesson. The paper is a mini-tutorial to present the main steps which must be taken to create a lesson. The presentation of the facilities of this digital instrument ensures the understanding of the necessity and of the utility of the ellaboration of a Moodle lesson as didactic material which motivates the students to do individual study. The simplicity of the creation of such a didactic resource means, for the teachers, an argument and a challenge to capitalize their own methodical creativity. The Moodle lesson is, practically, a succession of html pages easy to fill in with information and contents enriched with explanational videos, links to different virtual sources, practical use and self-assessment tests drawn up with the help of Wiris application, which are necessary for the facilitation of the understanding and of the assimilation of the subject/theme proposed to the students for study. In the paper it is presented the Moodle lesson which was offered in the virtual environment, for individual study, as an innovative method of the Flipped classroom teaching method - a flip-flop classroom. In the last part of th paper there are capitalized two of the advantages of using the Moodle lesson in the teaching process: the resposibility given to the pupils in what regards the handling of the understanding process and the assimilation of the transmitted information, the identification of the cognitive strategies of their consolidation through the insertion of explanatory exercisses corellated with previously acquired knowledge or in the study of other objects.

Abstract (sommario):

Our project focuses on gene expression and proteomics of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) species complex in relation to the internal anatomy and localization of expressed genes and virions in the whitefly vector, which poses a major constraint to vegetable and fiber production in Israel and the USA. While many biological parameters are known for begomovirus transmission, nothing is known about vector proteins involved in the specific interactions between begomoviruses and their whitefly vectors. Identifying such proteins is expected to lead to the design of novel control methods that interfere with whitefly-mediated begomovirus transmission. The project objectives were to: 1) Perform gene expression analyses using microarrays to study the response of whiteflies (B, Q and A biotypes) to the acquisition of begomoviruses (Tomato yellow leaf curl (TYLCV) and Squash leaf curl (SLCV). 2) Construct a whitefly proteome from whole whiteflies and dissected organs after begomovirus acquisition. 3) Validate gene expression by q-RTPCR and sub-cellular localization of candidate ESTs identified in microarray and proteomic analyses. 4) Verify functionality of candidate ESTs using an RNAi approach, and to link these datasets to overall functional whitefly anatomical studies. During the first and second years biological experiments with TYLCV and SLCV acquisition and transmission were completed to verify the suitable parameters for sample collection for microarray experiments. The parameters were generally found to be similar to previously published results by our groups and others. Samples from whole whiteflies and midguts of the B, A and Q biotypes that acquired TYLCV and SLCV were collected in both the US and Israel and hybridized to B. tabaci microarray. The data we analyzed, candidate genes that respond to both viruses in the three tested biotypes were identified and their expression that included quantitative real-time PCR and co-localization was verified for HSP70 by the Israeli group. In addition, experiments were undertaken to employ in situ hybridization to localize several candidate genes (in progress) using an oligonucleotide probe to the primary endosymbiont as a positive control. A proteome and corresponding transcriptome to enable more effective protein identification of adult whiteflies was constructed by the US group. Further validation of the transmission route of begomoviruses, mainly SLCV and the involvement of the digestive and salivary systems was investigated (Cicero and Brown). Due to time and budget constraints the RNAi-mediated silencing objective to verify gene function was not accomplished as anticipated. HSP70, a strong candidate protein that showed over-expression after TYLCV and SLCV acquisition and retention by B. tabaci, and co-localization with TYLCV in the midgut, was further studies. Besides this protein, our joint research resulted in the identification of many intriguing candidate genes and proteins that will be followed up by additional experiments during our future research. To identify these proteins it was necessary to increase the number and breadth of whitefly ESTs substantially and so whitefly cDNAs from various libraries made during the project were sequenced (Sanger, 454). As a result, the proteome annotation (ID) was far more successful than in the initial attempt to identify proteins using Uniprot or translated insect ESTs from public databases. The extent of homology shared by insects in different orders was surprisingly low, underscoring the imperative need for genome and transcriptome sequencing of homopteran insects. Having increased the number of EST from the original usable 5500 generated several years ago to >600,000 (this project+NCBI data mining), we have identified about one fifth of the whitefly proteome using these new resources. Also we have created a database that links all identified whitefly proteins to the PAVEdb-ESTs in the database, resulting in a useful dataset to which additional ESTS will be added. We are optimistic about the prospect of linking the proteome ID results to the transcriptome database to enable our own and other labs the opportunity to functionally annotate not only genes and proteins involved in our area of interest (whitefly mediated transmission) but for the plethora of other functionalities that will emerge from mining and functionally annotating other key genes and gene families in whitefly metabolism, development, among others. This joint grant has resulted in the identification of numerous candidate proteins involved in begomovirus transmission by B. tabaci. A next major step will be to capitalize on validated genes/proteins to develop approaches to interfere with the virus transmission.
