In the international practice of developing hydrocarbon fields, one of the most common methods of influencing the bottomhole formation zone to stimulate the inflow is acid treatment. Despite the significant accumulated experience, subsoil users increasingly face with a decrease in planned and actual increases in production rates after this type of measures, which is due to both the deterioration of the resource base and the adoption of erroneous decisions during their design. It is necessary to scientifically substantiate the design of acid treatments, taking into account individual well conditions and a preliminary assessment of their effectiveness to reduce technological and economic risks. This study presents a method for predicting the result of acid stimulation on the formation based on multivariate regression analysis and laboratory studies on rock samples. Its approbation was carried out on the example of a carbonate production facility of an oil field in the Perm Krai. The obtained statistical dependencies made it possible to determine with high accuracy the potential success of the planned geological and technical measures, to give recommendations on their adjustment to achieve the target indicators. In the course of laboratory experiments, the optimal technological parameters of the impact were identified: the prospects of multi-volume acid treatments were established with the exclusion of the stage of acid aging for the reaction. The integration of the results of mathematical and physical modeling made it possible to select the required design of acid treatments in relation to the considered geological and physical conditions and assess their expected technological efficiency. The developed technique can be used to rank candidate wells, form and adjust targeted programs for geological and technical measures for short and long term periods, and determine the stimulation technology. The described algorithm can be successfully replicated to other fields.

The first and one of the most important functions of management is planning. At the same time, in the current market conditions, the time for the implementation of this stage is very limited. In many ways, this applies to the oil and gas industry all the same. Due to the reduction of the resource base of the industry, the share of super-profitable projects has decreased significantly. Extraction of hard-to-recover oil and gas reserves is associated with active investment activities and with the need to introduce expensive technologies and equipment. The most common type of investment project associated with the geological and technical activities is being considered in the present paper. In order to increase the economic efficiency of the geological and technical activities it is proposed to implement an automated model at the stage of planning. This model, on the basis of the generalized geological, technological, statistical, macroeconomic and economic indicators, allows to solve quickly the following problems: of more precise and prompt planning the expenses on carrying out geological and technical actions; of defining minimum admissible profitable level of an oil flow rate after carrying out geological and technical actions; of determining the most economically justified duration of the overhaul of the well; of organizing the projects of geological and technical measures according to their attractiveness. As a result of the implementation of the automated model, an efficiency matrix for a particular field was compiled that determines the impact of the necessary investments and planned flow rate on the economic indicators of the project. The use of this matrix made it possible to exclude several inefficient geological and technical measures from the plan. The method of ranking based on the calculation of the integrated efficiency coefficient has been developed. On its basis, the issue of making optimal management decisions taking into account the impact of risk assessment in the case of projects with the same economic efficiency is solved.

Abstract Background Tranexamic acid reduces surgical blood loss and reduces deaths from bleeding in trauma patients. Tranexamic acid must be given urgently, preferably by paramedics at the scene of the injury or in the ambulance. We developed a simple score (Bleeding Audit Triage Trauma score) to predict death from bleeding. Methods We conducted an external validation of the BATT score using data from the UK Trauma Audit Research Network (TARN) from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2018. We evaluated the impact of tranexamic acid treatment thresholds in trauma patients. Results We included 104,862 trauma patients with an injury severity score of 9 or above. Tranexamic acid was administered to 9915 (9%) patients. Of these 5185 (52%) received prehospital tranexamic acid. The BATT score had good accuracy (Brier score = 6%) and good discrimination (C-statistic 0.90; 95% CI 0.89–0.91). Calibration in the large showed no substantial difference between predicted and observed death due to bleeding (1.15% versus 1.16%, P = 0.81). Pre-hospital tranexamic acid treatment of trauma patients with a BATT score of 2 or more would avoid 210 bleeding deaths by treating 61,598 patients instead of avoiding 55 deaths by treating 9915 as currently. Conclusion The BATT score identifies trauma patient at risk of significant haemorrhage. A score of 2 or more would be an appropriate threshold for pre-hospital tranexamic acid treatment.

In the Italian culinary tradition, young and tender leaves of Genovese basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) are used to prepare pesto sauce, a tasty condiment that attracts the interest of the food processing industry. Like other leafy or aromatic vegetables, basil is harvested more than once during the crop cycle to maximize yield. However, the mechanical stress induced by successive cuts can affect crucial parameters associated with pesto processing (leaf/stem ratio, stem diameter, and dry matter). Our research accordingly aimed to evaluate the impact of successive harvests on three field-grown Genovese basil cultivars (“Aroma 2”, “Eleonora” and “Italiano Classico”) in terms of production, physiological behavior, and technological parameters. Between the first and second harvest, marketable fresh yield and shoot dry biomass increased by 148.4% and 172.9%, respectively; by contrast, the leaf-to-stem ratio decreased by 22.5%, while the dry matter content was unchanged. The increased fresh yield and shoot dry biomass at the second harvest derived from improved photosynthetic efficiency, which enabled higher net CO2 assimilation, Fv/Fm and transpiration as well as reduced stomatal resistance. Our findings suggest that, under the Mediterranean environment, “Italiano Classico” carries superior productive performance and optimal technological characteristics in line with industrial requirements. These promising results warrant further investigation of the impact successive harvests may have on the qualitative components of high-yielding basil genotypes with respect to consumer expectations of the final product.

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) has been shown to play a key role in endothelial function and perhaps pivotal in the correlation between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease (CVD). For the study, the impact of MMP-9 of periodontitis and CVD on serum and saliva concentrations was analyzed. For the study patients with periodontitis (n = 31), CVD (n = 31), periodontitis + CVD (n = 31), and healthy patients (n = 31) were enrolled. Clinical and demographic characteristics as well as serum and salivary MMP-9 were evaluated. MMP-9 concentrations in serum and saliva were statistically elevated in patients with CVD (p < 0.01) and in patients with periodontitis plus CVD (p < 0.001) compared to patients with periodontitis and healthy subjects. Multivariate regression analysis showed that c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was the only significant predictor for MMP-9 serum (p < 0.001), whereas hs-CRP (p < 0.001) and total cholesterol (p = 0.029) were the statistically significant salivary MMP-9 predictors. This study evidenced that patients with CVD and periodontitis + CVD presented elevated MMP-9 concentrations in serum and saliva compared to patients with periodontitis and healthy subjects. Furthermore, hs-CRP was a negative predictor of serum and salivary MMP-9.

Abstract Catchpole, T. L., Revill, A. S., Innes, J., and Pascoe, S. 2008. Evaluating the efficacy of technical measures: a case study of selection device legislation in the UK Crangon crangon (brown shrimp) fishery. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 267–275. Bycatch reduction devices are being introduced into a wide range of fisheries, with shrimp and prawn fisheries particularly targeted owing to the heavy discarding common in these fisheries. Although studies are often undertaken to estimate the impact of a technical measure on the fishery before implementation, rarely have the impacts been assessed ex post. Here, the efficacy of the UK legislation pertaining to the use of sievenets in the North Sea Crangon crangon fishery is assessed. Three impacts were evaluated: on fisher behaviour (social), on the level of bycatch (biological), and on vessel profitability (economic). An apparent high level of compliance by skippers was identified despite a low level of enforcement. The estimated reduction in fleet productivity following the introduction of the legislation was 14%, equalling the mean loss of Crangon landings when using sievenets calculated from catch comparison trawls. Sievenets did reduce the unnecessary capture of unwanted marine organisms, but were least effective at reducing 0-group plaice, which make up the largest component of the bycatch. Clearly the legislation has had an effect in the desired direction, but it does not address sufficiently the bycatch issue in the Crangon fishery.
