This document summarizes work being done by the SKB Task Force related to modeling the engineered barrier system for a spent nuclear fuel repository. It discusses several tasks focused on thermomechanical modeling of bentonite clay buffer and backfill material using data from experiments at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory. The tasks aim to improve understanding and modeling of bentonite clay homogenization, water transport, gas transport, and the bentonite-rock interface using benchmarks from experiments. The ultimate goal is to better predict the long-term behavior of buffer/backfill materials under normal and abnormal conditions.
RhoVe II Empirical Velocity-Density-Temperature Effective Stress TransformMatt Czerniak
The rhob-velocity-effective stress (RhoVe) method represents an empirical approach to pore pressure analysis and calibration that utilizes a series of model-driven, genetically-linked “virtual” rock property relationships. The method is fundamentally a two-parameter approach (a-term and α), that is used to construct a velocity-vertical effective stress (VES) and density-VES family of curves that can be applied to a well of interest where convergence of the two transformed properties offers a robust solution.
When the a-term is set as a function of α (a = ƒ(α)), the RhoVe method is reduced to a single parameter (α’) that includes the effects of compositional changes related to clay diagenesis and the effects of ongoing chemical compaction. Once calibrated, the construct represents a fully-populated” petrophysical (shale-only) model volume that can be queried and interrogated to perform advanced calculations leading to a new empirical approach for calculating pore pressure from temperature that both frames the structural-stratigraphic history of fine-grained clastics in a sub-regional setting and allows for an interpretation of local diagenetic effects. The method utilizes a single master power law reference relationship between temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) and α’ that is applied as an instantaneous series. The same temperature – α’ power law function transforms sonic and density data for the entire stratigraphic section.
Accounting for the effects of ongoing chemical compaction and diagenesis using alternate associations like temperature extends the predictability of high-velocity, high-density, low-effective stress rock types such as those found in the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico mudstones and older onshore unconventional shale-play reservoir sections.

Sandia National Laboratories researched fluid inclusion and movement in tight rocks. They used modeling and experiments to understand how fluid inclusions migrate under thermal gradients and how their shape and movement are affected by factors like inclusion size, thermal gradient, solubility, and permeability of the surrounding rock. Their goal is to better understand how fluids can move even in very tight rocks and how this movement may impact issues like waste isolation.

This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.

Slope stability radar a need for open pit mines stabilityNIRAJ6665
Slope stability radar is a relatively new technology and is improving the way mines manage and minimize the risks associated with slope instability, enabling the appropriate precautionary measures to be taken. This technology meets the requirements that a monitoring system should have regarding precision, area coverage and failure mode detection. It is reliable in a variety of conditions, operates in a safe mode not requiring personnel to work on or near instability, and does not obstruct mining operations. The radar is equipped with a wireless link which transmits data in real time so engineers can make immediate decisions without having to be near a potentially unstable slope and the radar is trailer mounted for easy relocation. A variety of displays for data interpretation are available including deformation maps, digital photographs for reference and plots of deformation over time of specific points on the wall face. Alarm thresholds can be set, and are based upon total deformation and deformation of an area over a time frame.
Key words: Open Pit Mines Stability, Slope Stability Radar

This document discusses using geostationary satellites to predict aviation weather hazards like downbursts and fog. It describes how satellite measurements can be used to calculate indices like the Microburst Wind Potential Index (MWPI) to forecast downburst wind speeds up to 3 hours in advance. Case studies of downbursts in Southern California in 2014 and fog in Salt Lake City in 2015 are presented, showing how satellite data matched observations. The conclusions emphasize that MWPI has conditional skill in forecasting thunderstorm winds and that fog can be detected using infrared channel brightness temperature differences from GOES satellites.

This document summarizes research on measuring all-weather wind speeds using both passive microwave radiometers and active microwave scatterometers. It discusses the challenges of high wind speeds (>20 m/s) and winds in rain, and improvements made to wind retrieval algorithms. An improved Ku-band geophysical model function (GMF) for QuikSCAT was developed using WindSat winds for validation. Comparisons show WindSat provides more accurate winds than QuikSCAT in rain. The study concludes that while passive radiometers have strengths at high winds and in rain, scatterometers remain impacted without dual-frequency capabilities.
DETERMINATION OF STRENGTH OF SOIL ANDIT’S STABILITY USING ULTRASONIC PULSE VE...IRJET Journal
This document discusses using ultrasonic pulse velocity testing to determine the strength and stability of soil. Specifically, it examines using this non-destructive testing method on compacted soil samples with different stabilizer contents. The study analyzes how stabilizers like ground granulated blast furnace slag affect the engineering properties of clayey soil. It details the methodology of mixing soil with varying amounts of stabilizer, compacting the mixtures, and then conducting ultrasonic pulse velocity tests to measure the soil's density and modulus of elasticity. Graphs of density and velocity versus water content are used to evaluate the compaction characteristics and determine if ultrasonic testing can provide a fast alternative to standard compaction tests.
This document summarizes a thesis that explores optimizing stationary sensor networks for detecting drifting mines using an oceanographic drift model. The thesis:

3) Proposes a methodology for optimally deploying stationary sensors by evaluating sensor allocations that utilize the drift model inputs compared to allocations without the drift inputs, finding the drift-informed approach improves detection.
