Heat flow and 2D multichannel seismic reflection survey of the Devil's Hole geothermal reservoir in the Wagner basin, northern Gulf of California

The Wagner basin, located in the northernmost Gulf of California, hosts a large reservoir with geothermal potential documented in recent heat flow surveys. Although there is evidence of heat generation above the average value for an oceanic crust in the Wagner basin, it is unclear what the heat source is. To better understand the thermal structure in the northern Gulf of California, we acquired four 2D multichannel seismic reflection profiles and two systematic heat flow profiles across the Wagner basin. The survey targeted a geothermal anomaly, which we denominated “Devil's Hole” in a clear reference to pockmarks on the seafloor, and very high heat flow values. The heat flow profiles are ∼12 and ∼9 km long, are sub perpendicular to each other, have a nominal measurement spacing of ∼1 km, and were located along the transects of two of the four seismic reflection profiles. The two remaining seismic profiles are ∼34 and ∼40 km long, respectively, and are oriented SWW-NEE. To obtain seismic images, we used a conventional seismic processing workflow. After heat flow data correction, the minimum, maximum, and standard deviation of heat flow values for the Wagner basin are 295±42 and 10,894±114 mW/m2. We interpret the relatively high heat flow and large variability in the central part of the acquired profiles is caused by upward fluid flow at the Wagner fault zone. In contrast, the lower heat flow in the western flank of the basin suggest conductive heat transfer given the absence of faults. Based on these observations, we develop a geological model in which venting is not the product of a nascent spreading center as other authors have suggested. Instead, hydrothermal activity appears to result from isolated thermal plumes, rising from the base of the sedimentary column, captured by permeable fracture systems.

Computerized generation and surface deviation correction of face gear drives generated by skiving

This paper presents the computerized generation and surface deviation correction of face gears generated by skiving. Firstly, the mounting relation among the skiving cutter, the virtual shaper, and the being-generated face gear is defined and the velocity relation analyzed. Secondly, the equations for the rake face angle and back flanks of the skiving cutter are defined, and the profile of the cutting blade obtained. Based on the kinematics of the generation movement of the skiving cutter, the surfaces of the face gear teeth are derived. The influence of the parameters of the cutter profile on the face gear surface topology is studied. Thirdly, the correction of the face gear tooth surface deviation has been achieved to some extent by adjusting the cutting depth, the rotation angle of the face gear, and the cutter offset distance during the process of machining. Finally, the simulation of the proposed machining process has been verified with VERICUT. The results show that the deviation of the face gear tooth surface is consistent with that obtained by the computerized generation as proposed in this paper.

An improved estimation method of gear fatigue strength based on sample expansion and standard deviation correction

The conventional data processing of gear fatigue staircase test is based on the Dixon-Mood method. Extreme estimates might appear under small-sample condition. To solve the aforementioned limitation, this paper proposes an improved estimated method based on standard deviation correction and sample expansion. Meanwhile, the bending fatigue test is carried out for validation. Results show that the relative error of fatigue strength between the Dixon-Mood method and the proposed method is only 0.51% with 22 samples. As the sample number reduces to 12, the maximum errors of the fatigue strength of the Dixon-Mood method and the proposed method are 12.70% and 5.32%, respectively. To control the maximum error within 10%, the sample number required by the Dixon-Mood method is 14, while the proposed method is 8. The proposed method provides a more effective gear fatigue estimation.

Prevention of gynecological diseases of cows using a new protocol and calculation of the effectiveness of its application

The purpose of the research was to analyze the results of a change in service period, yaliiness and reduction of losses using the new protocol for the prevention of gynecological diseases, as well as the mathematical calculation of the forecast of changes in the coefficient of life-lifetime reproduction of cows.Materials and methods. The work was performed on 215 cows of the Holstetskaya breed of Leningrad type. To prevent the occurrence of gynecological diseases and the afternoon complications, we have been tested by the previously developed preparation of the new generation "Aldecosptimol". It is a preparation of a wide range of action, not a hormonal agent and non-antibiotic groups. As part of the conducted studies, it was found that the minimum bactericidal concentration of the drug is 0.001% of the working solution, which makes it possible to use it on the mucous membranes of the organism of animals and develop on its basis a new protocol for the prevention and correction of various deviations that increase the effectiveness of the insemination and the level of reproduction. Considering the activity of the drug Aldecosptimol and its bactericidal action, we investigated the possibility of its use to prevent postpartum gynecological complications. The following drugs were included in the composition: aldisseptimol, non-α-f2, nitamin. As a control, the drug was used non-aoxyl, well-proven himself for everyday work in veterinary practice. Studies were conducted within 4 months at the first switches of the Holstein breed.Results. The Aldecosptimol preparation in the new protocol has positively influenced the process of subbatencation, the active restoration of the epithelial fabric of the uterine structure and the proliferative process in the uterus, reduced the arrival time in the first hunt and increased the effectiveness of artificial insemination. Thus, the use of a new protocol for the prevention of gynecological diseases made it possible to reduce the service period from 179.9 days (control) to 102.3 days (experience). Calculation of the effectiveness of the application of the new protocol revealed an increase in reproduction by 7.2% (chicks) or 14.4% to exit calves.

Endoscopic Endonasal Repair of the Orbital Medial Wall Fracture Utilising Nasal Septal Cartilage as the Reconstructive Material.

To repair orbital medial wall fractures, otorhinolaryngologists often use the silicone sheet technique by inserting an inverted U-shaped silicone sheet into the middle meatus after the removal of fractured bones, and packing gauze inside the silicone sheet for several days to fix the shape of the medial wall. However, this method does not sufficiently reduce the orbital content. To describe the surgical procedure to repair medial wall fractures using nasal septal cartilage as the reconstructive material. First, endoscopic septoplasty is performed. Although the correction of the septal deviation is performed to secure the operative field, the nasal septal cartilage, except the L-strut is resected simultaneously. After septoplasty, the fractured bones of the lamina papyracea are removed from the herniated orbital contents, and then the orbital contents can be reduced without resistance by pushing laterally. Subsequently, the cartilage is inserted beneath the fracture edges of the orbital medial wall with great care to avoid entrapping the orbital soft tissue and extraocular muscles. The cartilage can be placed appropriately along the medial wall of the orbit. This technique enables to repair most cases of orbital medial wall fractures using the endoscopic endonasal approach alone without alloplastic implants.

Osteotomy "scarf" in the treatment of patients with valgus deformity of the first toe

The use of scarf osteotomy in 9 patients (14 feet) with valgus deformity of great toe was analysed. That technique was showed to provide stable correction of varus deviation of the first metatarsal bone and valgus deformity of the great toe as well as correction of the length of the first metatarsal bone and elimination of its pronator rotation without development of avascular necrosis of the head in postoperative period. Rigid fixation of bone fragments provides the possibility of early activization and rehabilitation of patients.

Optimization and determination of the volume structural resolution of a coordinate measuring system with sub-micrometer X-ray tube

Coordinate measuring systems with sub-micrometer X-ray tubes require both correction of geometry deviations and correction of drift to achieve the theoretically achievable structural resolution, which results from the focal spot size, the imaging properties of the detector and the projection geometry. A new method for the determination of the volume structural resolution from reconstructed volume data is presented. Using this method, it was shown on an example that the theoretically achievable volume structural resolution of the measuring system is reached by applying geometry and drift correction.

Clinical profile and management of sixth nerve palsy in pediatric patients (0-15 years) in Southern India - A hospital-based study.

Purpose:This study was done to evaluate the clinical profile in pediatric patients (0–16 years) presenting with acute onset esotropia due to sixth nerve palsy and its management options in a tertiary care set up of Southern India.Methods:A total of 12 patients presenting to our OPD with acute onset esotropia due to sixth nerve palsies were included in this retrospective study. All patients were observed for 6 months and managed with prism and/or patching while waiting for spontaneous resolution and later managed surgically. Neuroimaging was done in all cases.Results:The mean deviation of esotropia at presentation was 30.17 ± 5.7 Prism Diopter (range 12–50 Prism Diopter 95% CI, SD 10.11). Mean age of the patients during presentation was 8.6 ± 2.4 years (range: 1–15 years, SD 4.27). Among the common causes of sixth nerve palsy in our study population were trauma and idiopathic intracranial hypertension followed by tumor and miscellaneous causes. Only three patients underwent surgical correction of residual deviation after a waiting period of 6 months for self-resolution. Spontaneous resolution was observed in 41.6% patients, and surgical correction (unilateral resection–recession) was done in 25% of the patients with good surgical outcome.Conclusion:At 1-year follow up, the motor outcome was satisfactory except for one patient who had diffuse pontine glioma and had worsening neurological symptoms on follow-up.

Caudal Septal Deviation: A Computed Tomography-Based Evaluation Method.

Caudal septal deviation (CSD) correction during septorhinoplasty is challenging, and various surgical modifications and evaluations remain controversial. This study aimed to introduce an objective evaluation method based on computed tomography (CT) images to measure the effectiveness of septorhinoplasty for CSD treatment. We retrospectively analyzed preoperative and postoperative CT images of patients who had undergone functional open septorhinoplasty by the plastic surgery and otorhinolaryngology teams between January and September 2019. Using OsiriX Lite (Pixmeo, Switzerland), CSD was calculated as the distance between the septum midline and palatal plane. Deformation was categorized as C-shaped unilateral or S-shaped bilateral deviations. The change in the distance between preoperative and postoperative images was considered because of surgical intervention. Twenty patients (mean age, 35 years; 13 males [65%], 7 females [35%]) were included. The median deviation was 3.01 mm (range, 0.45-7.34 mm) preoperatively and 1.6 mm (range, 0.5-2.86 mm) postoperatively, indicating a reduction of 1.26 mm (median, P < 0.05) due to surgical intervention. C- and S-shaped deviations were seen preoperatively in 9 (45%) and 11 (55%) patients and postoperatively in 6 (30%) and 14 (70%) patients, respectively. The mean ± SD time of analysis was 7 ± 2.1 minutes. Caudal septal deviation showed significant changes from preoperative to postoperative CT images, based on the distance between the actual septum midline and the constructed straight septum. This allowed effective evaluation of surgical efficacy for septum straightening. Although additional studies are needed, this method allows clearer stratification of surgical outcomes.

Identification of start of combustion based on contribution level of principal component in vibration signal of cylinder head surface

The surface vibration signal measured from diesel engine cylinder head is caused by in-cylinder pressure (ICP) excitation and non-combustion excitations. These excitation response signals are coupled together, which increases the difficulty of identifying combustion information from the vibration signal. Furthermore, there always exists a phase deviation between the identified phase combustion parameter and the theoretical value, which decreases the recognition accuracy of combustion parameter. To accurately extract the combustion information, this paper firstly simulates the vibration signal caused by the combine of ICP, piston side pressure, piston slap and reciprocating inertial force of an SD2100TA diesel engine. Then, the principal component analysis (PCA) is introduced to analyze the contribution level of the combustion excitation response signal in the vibration signal under different working conditions. Meanwhile the influence of measuring point position and number on the contribution level is also discussed. Results show that the contribution level decreases gradually with the increase of the rotation speed and slightly increases with the increase of the torque. In addition, the contribution level is higher when the measuring point is farther away from adjacent cylinder. Finally, the relationship between the contribution level and the identified phase deviation of the start of combustion (SOC) is analyzed, and the deviation correction method is proposed. Results show that the maximum error of SOC after correction is within ± 1 deg.

Experimental Volumetric Hydrogen Uptake Determination at 77 K of Commercially Available Metal-Organic Framework Materials

Storage is still limiting the implementation of hydrogen as an energy carrier to integrate the intermittent operation of renewable energy sources. Among different solutions to the currently used compressed or liquified hydrogen systems, physical adsorption at cryogenic temperature in porous materials is an attractive alternative due to its fast and reversible operation and the resulting reduction in storage pressure. The feasibility of cryoadsorption for hydrogen storage depends mainly on the performance of the used materials for the specific application, where metal-organic frameworks or MOFs are remarkable candidates. In this work, gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen uptakes at 77 K and up to 100 bar of commercially available MOFs were measured since these materials are made from relatively cheap and accessible building blocks. These materials also show relatively high porous properties and are currently near to large-scale production. The measuring device was calibrated at different room temperatures to calculate an average correction factor and standard deviation so that the correction deviation is included in the measurement error for better comparability with different measurements. The influence of measurement conditions was also studied, concluding that the available adsorbing area of material and the occupied volume of the sample are the most critical factors for a reproducible measurement, apart from the samples’ preparation before measurement. Finally, the actual volumetric storage density of the used powders was calculated by directly measuring their volume in the analysis cell, comparing that value with the maximum volumetric uptake considering the measured density of crystals. From this selection of commercial MOFs, the materials HKUST-1, PCN-250(Fe), MOF-177, and MOF-5 show true potential to fulfill a volumetric requirement of 40 g·L−1 on a material basis for hydrogen storage systems without further packing of the powders.

Improved lip esthetics in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion and facial asymmetry after isolated mandibular orthognathic surgery

Asymmetry of the lips severely affects facial esthetics and is often one of the chief complaints of orthognathic patients, especially those with Class III malocclusion. The objectives of this study were to investigate the changes in lip symmetry in patients with mandibular prognathism and deviation and the relationships between jaw hard tissue and lip soft-tissue changes. Three-dimensional facial scan and cone-beam computed tomography scan data of 30 orthodontic-orthognathic patients treated with bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy were combined to conduct the research. Paired-sample t test and Pearson correlation coefficient were applied to compare the differences in the same variable before and after the orthognathic surgery and the potential correlations between the changes in hard and soft variables. To explore the important hard tissue variables influencing the lip soft-tissue changes, linear regression analysis was performed. Although there was significant upper lip asymmetry presurgery, the upper lip asymmetry was corrected postsurgery. Surgical correction of the mandibular deviation was also accompanied by lengthening of the bilateral philtrum crests. Improvement in lip asymmetry and lengthening of the philtrum crests were primarily related to the transverse correction of the mandible rather than sagittal changes. The corresponding prediction formulas were established. The isolated mandibular bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy surgery can substantially improve the upper and lower lip asymmetry in patients with mandibular prognathism and deviation, but one should be wary of the unesthetic effects associated with lengthening of the philtrum crests.

Reconsideration of the Bill of Lading as a Document of Title

The bill of lading is a primary transport document generally signed by or on behalf of the carrier by sea. Because of its comprehensive characteristics, it also plays an important role in the field of international trade. It is widely treated as a document of title in maritime law research and legal practice, but as to the specific meaning of the document of title, there is no accurate and universally accepted interpretation. It is an academic topic left to scholars to discuss. With the changes in the form of bills of lading in practice, it is also a fundamental issue to reduce the disputes arising from the delivery of goods and payment settlement in trade. This paper reviews the different expressions and variations of the bill of lading in relevant conventions and different domestic laws and analyzing the provisions or presumed meanings of the document of title. Based on the various functions of the bill of lading in transportation and trade, it further emphasizes that the dual legal nature of the document of title is mainly for delivery requests and constructive possession of goods. The correction of deviation regarding the implication of document of title in the Chinese context, especially the controversy about the bill of lading as a document of property and the document of debt, and the further clarification of legal nature of a different bill of lading in particular application stage could be obtained.

Deep Learning-Based Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Diagnosis of Ischemic Penumbra in Early Cerebral Infarction.

The prefiltered image was imported into the local higher-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) denoising algorithm (GL-HOSVD)-optimized diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) image, which was compared with the deviation correction nonlocal mean (NL mean) and low-level edge algorithm (LR + edge). Regarding the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), root mean square error (RMSE), sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and consistency, the application effect of the GL-HOSVD algorithm in DWI was investigated, and its adoption effect in the examination of ischemic penumbra (IP) of early acute cerebral infarction (ACI) patients was evaluated. A total of 210 patients with ACI were selected as the research subjects, who were randomly rolled into two groups. Those who were checked by conventional DWI were set as the control group, and those who used DWI based on the GL-HOSVD denoising algorithm were set as the observation group, with 105 people in each. Positron emission tomography (PET) test results were set as the gold standard to evaluate the application value of the two examination methods. It was found that under different noise levels, the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the GL-HOSVD algorithm and the root mean square error (RMSE) of the FA parameter were better than those of the nonlocal means (NL-means) of deviation correction and low-rank edge algorithm (LR + edge). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and consistency (8.76%, 81.25%, 87.62%, and 0.52) of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (57.78%, 53.33%, 57.14%, and 0.35) (P < 0.05). Moreover, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the DWI images of the observation group was basically consistent with that of the PET images, while the control group had a poor display effect and low definition. In summary, under different noise levels, the GL-HOSVD algorithm had a good denoising effect and greatly reduced fringe artifacts. DWI after denoising had high sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and consistency in the detection of IP, which was worthy of clinical application and promotion.

The Black-Box Deconstruction of Dynamic Sustainable Development Ability Driving Environmental Performance of Manufacturing Enterprises.

Based on the conceptual model of the black-box deconstruction of dynamic sustainable development ability driving environmental performance of manufacturing enterprises, the nonparametric percentile bootstrap method based on deviation correction is used to demonstrate the theoretical hypothesis and empirically deconstruct the black-box of dynamic sustainable development driving environmental performance. Empirical results show that (1) dynamic sustainable development ability has a positive influence on environmental performance; (2) green resource integration ability, green duality, low-carbon manufacturing practice, and green intelligence capital play mediating roles in the influence of dynamic sustainable development ability on environmental performance; and (3) environmental regulation positively moderates the mediating mechanism of green resource integration ability, green duality, low-carbon manufacturing practice, and green intelligence capital of the relationships between dynamic sustainable development ability and environmental performance.

Second order cubic corrections of large deviations for perturbed random walks

We prove that the Beta random walk, introduced in [BC17] 2017, has cubic fluctuations from the large deviation principle of the GUE Tracy-Widom type for arbitrary values α>0 and β>0 of the parameters of the Beta distribution, removing previous restrictions on their values. Furthermore, we prove that the GUE Tracy-Widom fluctuations still hold in the intermediate disorder regime. We also show that any random walk in space-time random environment that matches certain moments with the Beta random walk also has GUE Tracy-Widom fluctuations in the intermediate disorder regime. As a corollary we show the emergence of GUE Tracy-Widom fluctuations from the large deviation principle for trajectories ending at boundary points for random walks in space (time-independent) i.i.d. Dirichlet random environment in dimension d=2 for a class of asymptotic behavior of the parameters.

The Weil Osteotomy for Angular Correction of Axial Plane Deformities of the Lesser MTP Joints: A Radiographic Analysis

Category:Lesser Toes; Midfoot/ForefootIntroduction/Purpose:The oblique shortening (Weil) osteotomy of the distal metatarsal neck has been described as an effective means of correcting lesser toe metatarsophalangeal joint deformity. Previous studies have focused on clinical outcomes, complications, and the magnitude of plantar displacement and shortening. The aim of this study was to quantify the magnitude of axial plane correction obtainable when a medial or lateral displacing Weil osteotomy was used in conjunction with other procedures in forefoot reconstruction surgery.Methods:Consecutive patients with a minimum 12-month follow-up who were treated by the senior surgeon from January 1, 2008, to September 1, 2018, were included. Review of the medical records identified 234 toes in 190 patients that had medial or lateral displacement Weil osteotomies as a part of their treatment for metatarsalgia and lesser toe deformity. Concomitant procedures were recorded. Pre- and post-operative weightbearing radiographs were analyzed to determine the amount of transverse plane change and residual varus/valgus alignment. Radiographs were then classified as good (<10 degrees of angulation), intermediate (10-15 degrees), or bad (>15 degrees). Any worsening of the post-operative alignment compared to the pre- operative alignment was noted. Follow-up notes were reviewed for clinical observations of floating toe, resting alignment, persistent pain and swelling at 3 months, complications, and need for revision surgery.Results:The average transverse plane correction was 12.5 degrees (range 0-45 degrees). Most toes remained in some degree of radiographic varus or valgus alignment as a true neutral toe was rare. Over a third, (35%, n=81) had increased postoperative angulation; 42% of radiographs were graded as good alignment (n=99), 20% as intermediate (n=46), and 38% as bad (n=90). The most common concomitant procedures were PIP joint resection arthroplasty and distal chevron bunionectomy. Review of clinic notes revealed low incidences of floating toe (7%, n=16), clinical malalignment (8%, n=18), and need for revision surgery (3%, n=8). Persistent swelling was the most common complication, present in 44% of patients at the 3-month follow-up.Conclusion:The medial and lateral displacing Weil osteotomy can be a powerful tool to correct lesser toe MTP joint transverse plane deviation. It was typically used with PIP joint resection and hallux valgus procedures to improve the lesser toes and overall forefoot alignment. Interestingly, most toes had a neutral or good clinical alignment regardless of the radiographic alignment. Further studies to correlate radiographic and clinical outcome measures may help define its role in correcting lesser toe deformity.

ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT OF STATE MANAGEMENT OF INVESTMENT PROJECTS

Current trends in social and economic development in Ukraine, which are characterized by an increase in interest in boosting investment revenues, have made it necessary to search for new approaches to organizational support of state management of investment projects. This problem emerged due to the fact that the post-war restoration of territories requires a holistic theory of the formation, management and development of investment activities at various levels (state, regional), which is currently absent. The difficulty of solving this problem largely lies in the limited opportunities for domestic government savings, the inability of investors to compensate for the lack of investment in the real sector of the economy due to the low profitability of enterprises and a high degree of risks. Based on this, the purpose of the study is to develop organizational support of state management of investment projects. Scientific works of domestic and foreign authors, separate regulatory provisions and instructions served as the theoretical basis for this paper. The generalization of different scientific points of view regarding the organizational support of state management of investment projects allowed the author to come to the conclusion that there is no single point of view regarding the interpretation of this category, which is why the author's interpretation is proposed. The detailed concept expands the existing scientific basis taking into account current trends and allows accomodating the interests of all participants in the investment process. Based on the principles of monitoring, an architecture of organizational support of state managment of investment projects has been developed, which includes information, analytical and communication components, making it possible to form a comprehensive system for monitoring changes. The expediency of using the Microsoft Project investment project management applied software package, the advantage of which is its relative ease of use, availability, and ability to correct resource deviations, is substantiated. Theoretical research was practically tested in the framework of teaching the discipline "State mechanisms for managing investment programs and projects". The practical value of the results obtained lies in the fact that they are the basis for making managerial decisions in the development of national and regional projects and programs for investment and social and economic development of regions. The material can be useful for scientists, employees of government agencies, industry associations, university teachers, postgraduates and students

Exploring the path of correction of deviations in the implementation of public policies of grass-roots governments ——Take COVID-19 protection as an example

Public policy implementation is an important part of government public administration, and is the central link to achieve policy objectives and solve practical problems. The effective implementation of public policies is not only an important guarantee for the stable, orderly, harmonious and healthy development of society, but also a strong political guarantee for winning the "double victory" of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. However, due to the influence of multiple factors, public policies often deviate in the implementation process, resulting in disorder or loss of control in social management. Conducting research on the deviation of grass-roots governments in implementing public policies for COVID-19 protection, exploring the causes of deviations in depth, and proposing effective countermeasures in a targeted manner according to the reasons has certain practical significance to help improve the implementation of grass-roots governments in China.
