Petrophysical typification of productive hydrocarbon deposits is one of the main stages of building a petrophysical model of a reservoir. For carbonate reservoirs characterized by a heterogeneous complex structure of the void space, the problem of identifying petrotypes is very relevant. An extensive literature review of existing methods of petrophysical typification showed that the most well-known and widely used of them were based on simple theoretical models of the structure of the void space of rocks, which did not allow a full description of complex carbonate deposits. Moreover, the petrotypes identified on the basis of these methods did not agree with the results of microdescription of thin sections. A new methodological approach to the identification of petrophysical types of complex carbonate rocks was proposed, based on the integration of the results of standard (determination of the absolute gas permeability and open porosity coefficients) and special (nuclear magnetic resonance studies) core studies and data obtained in the lithological description of thin sections. The developed approach took into account the main petrophysical properties of rocks that characterize its reservoir potential, as well as the structural features of the void space and the influence of secondary transformations. The proposed methodological approach was applied to distinguish petrophysical types in the section of the Assel-Sakmara deposits of the Yareyuskoye field: six petrotypes were identified and described in detail, combined into four zones (zone of development of healed fracturing, zone of development of leaching, zone of development of leaching and open fracturing, zone of development open fracturing), for each of them, individual dependences of the absolute gas permeability coefficient on the open porosity coefficient and the Leverett J-function on the water saturation coefficient were constructed. The information obtained would allow a differentiated approach to geological and hydrodynamic modeling of a hydrocarbon reservoir.

Isotopic Geochemistry

The NW Guizhou Pb-Zn metallogenic district is an important part of the Yunnan – Sichuan - Guizhou Pb-Zn metallogenic province (SYG), and also is one of the important Pb-Zn producers in China. We analyzed the Pb isotopic compositions of sulfides, hosting rocks and basement rocks, the results show that the206Pb/204Pb,207Pb/204Pb, and208Pb/204Pb ratios of sulfides range from 18.029 to 19.900, 15.357 to 17.716 and 38.004 to 40.695, respectively. The206Pb/204Pb,207Pb/204Pb and208Pb/204Pb ratios of hosting rocks and basement rocks range from 18.397 to 19.483, 15.545 to 16.700 and 38.204 to 39.140, respectively. This indicates that the compositions of Pb isotopes of sulfides are basically consistent with that of hosting rocks and basement rocks, so the metals were sourced from various strata of carbonate rocks and underlying rocks.

Although sections of frozen salt solutions have been used as standards for x-ray microanalysis, such solutions are less useful when analysed in the bulk form. They are poor thermal and electrical conductors and severe phase separation occurs during the cooling process. Following a suggestion by Whitecross et al we have made up a series of salt solutions containing a small amount of graphite to improve the sample conductivity. In addition, we have incorporated a polymer to ensure the formation of microcrystalline ice and a consequent homogenity of salt dispersion within the frozen matrix. The mixtures have been used to standardize the analytical procedures applied to frozen hydrated bulk specimens based on the peak/background analytical method and to measure the absolute concentration of elements in developing roots.

Tubular Arrays

In the normal peripheral circulation there exists a sub-population of lymphocytes which is ultrastructurally distinct. This lymphocyte is identified under the electron microscope by the presence of cytoplasmic microtubular-like inclusions called parallel tubular arrays (PTA) (Figure 1), and contains Fc-receptors for cytophilic antibody. In this study, lymphocytes containing PTA (PTA-lymphocytes) were quantitated from serial peripheral blood specimens obtained from two patients with Epstein -Barr Virus mononucleosis and two patients with cytomegalovirus mononucleosis. This data was then correlated with the clinical state of the patient.It was determined that both the percentage and absolute number of PTA- lymphocytes was highest during the acute phase of the illness. In follow-up specimens, three of the four patients' absolute lymphocyte count fell to within normal limits before the absolute PTA-lymphocyte count.In one patient who was followed for almost a year, the absolute PTA- lymphocyte count was consistently elevated (Figure 2). The estimation of absolute PTA-lymphocyte counts was determined to be valid after a morphometric analysis of the cellular areas occupied by PTA during the acute and convalescent phases of the disease revealed no statistical differences.

Microscopic Techniques

The determination of the absolute polarity of a polar material is often crucial to the understanding of the defects which occur in such materials. Several methods exist by which this determination may be performed. In bulk, single-domain specimens, macroscopic techniques may be used, such as the different etching behavior, using the appropriate etchant, of surfaces with opposite polarity. X-ray measurements under conditions where Friedel’s law (which means that the intensity of reflections from planes of opposite polarity are indistinguishable) breaks down can also be used to determine the absolute polarity of bulk, single-domain specimens. On the microscopic scale, and particularly where antiphase boundaries (APBs), which separate regions of opposite polarity exist, electron microscopic techniques must be employed. Two techniques are commonly practised; the first [1], involves the dynamical interaction of hoLz lines which interfere constructively or destructively with the zero order reflection, depending on the crystal polarity. The crystal polarity can therefore be directly deduced from the relative intensity of these interactions.

Maximum Possible Magnitude

A standardized index for effect intensity, the translocation relative to range (TRR), is discussed. TRR is defined as the difference between the expectations of an outcome under two conditions (the absolute increment) divided by the maximum possible amount for that difference. TRR measures the shift caused by a factor relative to the maximum possible magnitude of that shift. For binary outcomes, TRR simply equals the risk difference, also known as the inverse number needed to treat. TRR ranges from –1 to 1 but is – unlike a correlation coefficient – a measure for effect intensity, because it does not rely on variance parameters in a certain population as do effect size measures (e.g., correlations, Cohen’s d). However, the use of TRR is restricted on outcomes with fixed and meaningful endpoints given, for instance, for meaningful psychological questionnaires or Likert scales. The use of TRR vs. Cohen’s d is illustrated with three examples from Psychological Science 2006 (issues 5 through 8). It is argued that, whenever TRR applies, it should complement Cohen’s d to avoid the problems related to the latter. In any case, the absolute increment should complement d.
