Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the resonance failure sensitivity analysis of straight-tapered assembled pipe conveying nonuniform axial fluid by an active learning Kriging (ALK) method. Design/methodology/approach In this study, first, the motion equation of straight-tapered assembled pipe conveying nonuniform fluid is built. Second, the Galerkin method is used for calculating the natural frequency of assembled pipe conveying nonuniform fluid. Third, the ALK method based on expected risk function (ERF) is used to calculate the resonance failure probability and moment independent global sensitivity analysis. Findings The findings of this paper highlight that the eigenfrequency and critical velocity of uniform fluid-conveying pipe are less than the reality and the error is biggest in first-order natural frequency. The importance ranking of input variables affecting the resonance failure can be obtained. The importance ranking is different for a different velocity and mode number. By reducing the uncertainty of variables with a high index, the resonance failure probability can be reduced maximally. Research limitations/implications There are no experiments on the eigenfrequency and critical velocity. There is no experiments about natural frequency and critical velocity of straight tapered assembled pipe to verify the theory in this paper. Originality/value The originality of this paper lies as follows: the motion equation of straight-tapered pipe conveying nonuniform fluid is first obtained. The eigenfrequency of nonuniform fluid and uniform fluid inside the assembled pipe are compared. The resonance reliability analysis of straight-tapered assembled pipe is first proposed. From the results, it is observed that the resonance failure probability can be reduced efficiently.

From a phenomenological perspective, the reflective quality of water has a visually dramatic impact, especially when combined with the light of celestial phenomena. However, the possible presence of water as a means for reflecting the sky is often undervalued when interpreting archaeoastronomical sites. From artificial water spaces, such as ditches, huacas and wells to natural ones such as rivers, lakes and puddles, water spaces add a layer of interacting reflections to landscapes. In the cosmological understanding of skyscapes and waterscapes, a cross-cultural metaphorical association between water spaces and the underworld is often revealed. In this research, water-skyscapes are explored through the practice of auto-ethnography and reflexive phenomenology. The mirroring of the sky in water opens up themes such as the continuity, delimitation and manipulation of sky phenomena on land: water spaces act as a continuation of the sky on earth; depending on water spaces’ spatial extension, selected celestial phenomena can be periodically reflected within architectures, so as to make the heavenly dimension easily accessible and a possible object of manipulation. Water-skyscapes appear as specular worlds, where water spaces are assumed to be doorways to the inner reality of the unconscious. The fluid properties of water have the visual effect of dissipating borders, of merging shapes, and, therefore, of dissolving identities; in the inner landscape, this process may represent symbolic death experiences and rituals of initiation, where the annihilation of the individual allows the creative process of a new life cycle. These contextually generalisable results aim to inspire new perspectives on sky-and-water related case studies and give value to the practice of reflexive phenomenology as crucial method of research.

Objective: To characterize ultrasound images of placenta and amniotic fluid in cases of singleton pregnancies beyond term predictions, and also explore the relationship between placenta, amniotic fluid and labor transfer status, postpartum child status. Image properties of prenatal placenta and amniotic fluid are immediately examined with ultrasound in 267 cases of postterm pregnancy beyond prediction at Obstetric Department, Hue Central Hospital. Results: In postterm pregnancy, placenta thickness decreases gradually according to gestational age. Oligohydramnios is 30.3%. There is a correlation between amniotic fluid index and birth method with r = 0.41. Sensitivity is 89.15%. Specificity is 48.55%. There is also a correlation between amniotic fluid echogenicity and method of birth: r = 0.478. Sensitivity is 97.67%. Specificity is 42.75%. Amniotic fluid index and baby Clifford's syndrome are also relevant, with r=0.466. Sensitivity is 83.78%. Specificity is 78.26%. Conclusions: Ultrasound scanning of amniotic fluid properties should be noted in the case of postterm pregnancy.

We have tested several approximate formulas that relate atomic and molecular energies to the electrostatic potentials at the nuclei, V0 and V0,A, respectively. They are based upon the assumption that the chemical potentials can be neglected relative to V0 and V0,A. Exact, Hartree-Fock and density-functional values were used for the latter. The results are overall encouraging; the errors in the energies generally decrease markedly as the nuclear charges Z increase and the assumptions become more valid. Improvement is needed, however, in fitting the V0 and V0,A to Z.

A procedure for solving compositional model equations is described. The procedure is based on the Newton Raphson iteration method. The equations and unknowns in the algorithm are ordered in such a way that different fluid property correlations can be accommodated leadily. Three different correlations have been implemented with the method. These include simplified correlations as well as a Redlich-Kwong equation of state (EOS). The example problems considered area conventional waterflood problem,displacement of oil by CO, andthe displacement of a gas condensate by nitrogen. These examples illustrate the utility of the different fluid-property correlations. The computing times reported are at least as low as for other methods that are specialized for a narrower class of problems. Introduction Black-oil models are used to study conventional recovery techniques in reservoirs for which fluid properties can be expressed as a function of pressure and bubble-point pressure. Compositional models are used when either the pressure. Compositional models are used when either the in-place or injected fluid causes fluid properties to be dependent on composition also. Examples of problems generally requiring compositional models are primary production or injection processes (such as primary production or injection processes (such as nitrogen injection) into gas condensate and volatile oil reservoirs and (2) enhanced recovery from oil reservoirs by CO or enriched gas injection. With deeper drilling, the frequency of gas condensate and volatile oil reservoir discoveries is increasing. The drive to increase domestic oil production has increased the importance of enhanced recovery by gas injection. These two factors suggest an increased need for compositional reservoir modeling. Conventional reservoir modeling is also likely to remain important for some time. In the past, two separate simulators have been developed and maintained for studying these two classes of problems. This result was dictated by the fact that compositional models have generally required substantially greater computing time than black-oil models. This paper describes a compositional modeling approach paper describes a compositional modeling approach useful for simulating both black-oil and compositional problems. The approach is based on the use of explicit problems. The approach is based on the use of explicit flow coefficients. For compositional modeling, two basic methods of solution have been proposed. We call these methods "Newton-Raphson" and "non-Newton-Raphson" methods. These methods differ in the manner in which a pressure equation is formed. In the Newton-Raphson method the iterative technique specifies how the pressure equation is formed. In the non-Newton-Raphson method, the composition dependence of certain ten-ns is neglected to form the pressure equation. With the non-Newton-Raphson pressure equation. With the non-Newton-Raphson methods, three to eight iterations have been reported per time step. Our experience with the Newton-Raphson method indicates that one to three iterations per tune step normally is sufficient. In the present study a Newton-Raphson iteration sequence is used. The calculations are organized in a manner which is both efficient and for which different fluid property descriptions can be accommodated readily. Early compositional simulators were based on K-values that were expressed as a function of pressure and convergence pressure. A number of potential difficulties are inherent in this approach. More recently, cubic equations of state such as the Redlich-Kwong, or Peng-Robinson appear to be more popular for the correlation Peng-Robinson appear to be more popular for the correlation of fluid properties.

AbstractGas bubbles grown on solids are more than simple vehicles for gas transport. They are charged particles with surfaces populated with exchangeable ions. We here unveil a gateway for alkali metal ion transport between oxygen bubbles and semi-conducting (iron oxide) and conducting (gold) surfaces. This gateway was identified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using an ultramicroelectrode in direct contact with bubbles pinned onto these solid surfaces. We show that this gateway is naturally present at open circuit potentials, and that negative electric potentials applied through the solid enhance ion transport. In contrast, positive potentials or contact with an insulator (polytetrafluoroethylene) attenuates transport. We propose that this gateway is generated by overlapping electric double layers of bubbles and surfaces of contrasting (electro)chemical potentials. Knowledge of this ion transfer phenomenon is essential for understanding electric shielding and reaction overpotential caused by bubbles on catalysts. This has especially important ramifications for predicting processes including mineral flotation, microfluidics, pore water geochemistry, and fuel cell technology.

Abstract In this work, we study a generalization of the coupled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model with U(1) charge conservations. The model contains two copies of the complex SYK model at different chemical potentials, coupled by a direct hopping term. In the zero-temperature and small coupling limit with small averaged chemical potential, the ground state is an eternal wormhole connecting two sides, with a specific charge Q = 0, which is equivalent to a thermofield double state. We derive the conformal Green’s functions and determine corresponding IR parameters. At higher chemical potential, the system transit into the black hole phase. We further derive the Schwarzian effective action and study its quench dynamics. Finally, we compare numerical results with the analytical predictions.
