Abstract
The Montserrat and Sant Llorenรง del Munt fan-delta complexes were developed during the Eocene in the Ebro basin. The depositional stratigraphic record of these fan deltas has been described as a made up by a several transgressive and regressive composite sequences each made up by several fundamental sequences. Each sequence set is in turn composed by five main facies belts: proximal alluvial fan, distal alluvial fan, delta front, carbonates platforms and prodelta.
Using outcrop data from three composite sequences (Sant Vicenรง, Vilomara and Manresa), a 3D facies model was built. The key sequential traces of the studied area georeferenced and digitalized on to photorealistic terrain models, were the hard data used as input to reconstruct the main surfaces, which are separating transgressive and regressive stacking patterns. Regarding the facies modelling has been achieved using a geostatistical algorithm in order to define the stacking trend and the interfingerings of adjacent facies belts, and five paleogeographyc maps to reproduce the paleogeometry of the facies belts within each system tract.
The final model has been checked, using a real cross section, and analysed in order to obtain information about the Delta Front facies which are the ones susceptible to be analogous of a reservoir. Attending to the results including eight probability maps of occurrence, the transgressive sequence set of Vilomara is the greatest accumulation of these facies explained by its agradational component.
This document discusses different well log measurements for determining porosity: sonic, density, and neutron logs. It provides details on how each log works, the parameters it measures, and how porosity can be derived from each log. A key point is that no single log directly measures porosity. By combining the logs, a more accurate estimate of porosity can be obtained by accounting for factors like lithology, fluid type, and borehole conditions. Secondary effects that can impact porosity calculations from each log are also reviewed.

ย
The document discusses sedimentary facies analysis and the concepts of facies, facies associations, and sedimentary processes. It defines a facies as the physical features of a sedimentary deposit that can be used to distinguish it from adjacent deposits. Facies associations are genetically related groups of facies that record particular depositional environments. Sedimentary processes include selective processes that transport and structure sediments, as well as mass processes involving large sediment movements like debris flows, grain flows, mud flows, and turbidity flows.
Net pay is difficult to define as it depends on factors like oil price and production, while net reservoir is easier to define as the portion of rock capable of storing hydrocarbons. Net reservoir can be determined from core data, well logs, and water saturation-height functions, and the net reservoir cutoff varies with height above the free water level. Upscaling properties for reservoir modeling requires identifying net reservoir to correctly average porosity, water saturation, and permeability over larger distances.

It generates artificial histories to draw inferences about system behavior and operating characteristics without disrupting the real system. Simulation is useful when analytical solutions are not possible due to complex, random factors or when experimentation and testing are needed. Key advantages include exploring changes safely, compressing or expanding time, and gaining insights into variable interactions. Common applications include manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and business processes.

The document summarizes a simulation study on the effects of well spacing, permeability anisotropy, and the Palmer and Mansoori model on coalbed methane production. The study used a dual-porosity simulation model to analyze gas production from a single coal seam under different well spacing and configurations. It found that closer well spacing increased production rates and recovery. Placing wells along the direction of higher permeability in anisotropic reservoirs also improved recovery. The Palmer and Mansoori model, which accounts for matrix shrinkage and cleat compression, impacted predicted production rates and should be considered in coalbed methane simulations.

The document discusses a physics-based model for Fowler-Nordheim tunneling write/erase operations in 3D nanocrystal flash memories with silicon nanocrystals. The model takes into account the influence of fin corner rounding. Comparison with 3D TCAD simulations and experimental data show that programming windows are larger and dynamics faster in corner regions due to their cylindrical geometry. The model can be extended to various 3D memory device architectures.

This document summarizes a study that uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model flow through a screen and validate an existing correlation for calculating pressure drop. The study models a screen with a 25% porosity and runs simulations over a wide range of Reynolds numbers from 0.1 to 105 for both incompressible (water) and compressible (air) fluids. Discharge coefficients calculated from the simulations are compared to published experimental values and correlations. The results show the effect of compressibility on discharge coefficients and validate the existing correlation for incompressible flow.
HardNet: Convolutional Network for Local Image DescriptionDmytro Mishkin
ย
We introduce a novel loss for learning local feature descriptors which is inspired by the Lowe's matching criterion for SIFT. We show that the proposed loss that maximizes the distance between the closest positive and closest negative patch in the batch is better than complex regularization methods; it works well for both shallow and deep convolution network architectures. Applying the novel loss to the L2Net CNN architecture results in a compact descriptor -- it has the same dimensionality as SIFT (128) that shows state-of-art performance in wide baseline stereo, patch verification and instance retrieval benchmarks. It is fast, computing a descriptor takes about 1 millisecond on a low-end GPU.
Design of miniaturized patch crossover based on superformula slot shapesIJECEIAES
ย
In this paper, miniaturized microstrip crossover circuits are proposed using slots shapes obtained using the superformula. The design starts by using a conventional half-wavelength square patch crossover. For miniaturization purposes, different superformula slot shapes are introduced on the square patch. The proposed crossovers are designed to operate at 2.4 GHz using a 0.8 mm thick FR-4 substrate with a relative permittivity of 4.4. The designs are simulated using the high frequency structure simulator (HFSS). One of the miniaturized designs is fabricated and its scattering parameters are measured using a vector network analyzer. Simulated and measured results agree very well. At the design frequency, the measured input port matching is better than ห19 dB, while ๐12, ๐13 and ๐14 have the values of ห12 dB, ห2.2 dB and ห10 dB, respectively. Furthermore, a 71% size reduction is achieved as compared to the conventional crossover area.

This document summarizes research on quantifying the microstructure of fuel cell materials through image analysis. The researchers developed tools to analyze fuel cell material micrographs and directly calculate key properties like tortuosity, pore size distribution, and structural diffusivity. They applied their methods to analyze the microstructure of a gas diffusion layer, calculating metrics from over 300 random volume images. Their results provided a more comprehensive representation of properties like tortuosity than single values. They also compared measured diffusivity to empirical models, finding significant errors. Overall, the tools allow direct quantification of structural properties that are difficult to measure experimentally.
