Meandering river sand body architecture and heterogeneity: A case study of Permian meandering river outcrop in Palougou, Baode, Shanxi Province

Abstract Through actual measurement, careful sand body anatomy and lithofacies analysis of the meandering river sand bodies in the Permian of the Palougou profile in Baode county, Shanxi province, the architectural models of different kinds of meandering river sand bodies are established to characterize their interior sedimentary heterogeneity quantitatively, and predict the remaining oil areas in different kinds of meandering river sand bodies. Based on the outcrop characteristics, such as lithology, grain size, sedimentary structure, color, and so on, eight kinds of lithofacies are identified. By careful anatomy and lithofacies analysis of sand bodies, the bottom trough cross bedding sand body was separated from the classical point bar and named “bottom bar”, and the upper planar cross bedding was named “marginal bar”. Based on fine description of the sedimentary characteristics and superimposed relationships of bottom bar and marginal bar, four kinds of channel sand bodies, namely, lateral migration channel type, chute cutoff channel type, neck cutoff channel type and abandoned channel type, were identified. According to the architecture and heterogeneity characteristics of different types of channel sand bodies, it is concluded the lateral migration channel sand body has weak heterogeneity and little remaining oil, the chute cutoff and abandoned channel sand bodies with a little stronger heterogeneity is richer in remaining oil, and the neck cutoff channel sand body with the strongest heterogeneity has the most abundant remaining oil.

Your Loss Is Their Gain: The Corporate Body and the Corporeal Body in Richard Powers's Gain

This essay explores the inverse relationship between the corporate body and the corporeal body in Richard Powers's Gain. The novel's careful anatomy of corporate and American history demonstrates that as the corporation (considered a “person” by law) gains rights, the individual is stripped of them. Notwithstanding the novel's fantasy of a sovereign subject able to resist this biopolitical incorporation, Gain makes it clear that in the neoliberal age the corporate body has narrowed its “responsibility” to increasing shareholders' profits, while the subject's responsibility for her newly “privatized” body has expanded with troubling implications.

Role-Playing Simulation as an Educational Tool for Health Care Personnel: Developing an Embedded Assessment Framework

Simulation- and video game-based role-playing techniques have been proven effective in changing behavior and enhancing positive decision making in a variety of professional settings, including education, the military, and health care. Although the need for developing assessment frameworks for learning outcomes has been clearly defined, there is a significant gap between the variety of existing multimedia-based instruction and technology-mediated learning systems and the number of reliable assessment algorithms. This study, based on a mixed methodology research design, aims to develop an embedded assessment algorithm, a Knowledge Assessment Module (NOTE), to capture both user interaction with the educational tool and knowledge gained from the training. The study is regarded as the first step in developing an assessment framework for a multimedia educational tool for health care professionals, Anatomy of Care (AOC), that utilizes Virtual Experience Immersive Learning Simulation (VEILS) technology. Ninety health care personnel of various backgrounds took part in online AOC training, choosing from five possible scenarios presenting difficult situations of everyday care. The results suggest that although the simulation-based training tool demonstrated partial effectiveness in improving learners' decision-making capacity, a differential learner-oriented approach might be more effective and capable of synchronizing educational efforts with identifiable relevant individual factors such as sociobehavioral profile and professional background.
