The Impact

This study will explain the impact of China-Pak Economic Corridor (CPEC) on logistic system of China and Pakistan. This project is estimated investment of US $90 billion, CPEC project is consists of various sub-projects including energy, road, railway and fiber optic cable but major portion will be spent on energy. This project will start from Kashgar port of china to Gwadar port of Pakistan. Transportation is sub-function of logistic that consists of 44% total cost of logistic system and 20% total cost of production of manufacturing and mainly shipping cost and transit/delivery time are critical for logistic system. According to OEC (The Observing Economic Complexity) currently, china is importing crude oil which 13.4% from Persian Gulf. CPEC will china for lead time that will be reduced from 45 days to 10 days and distance from 2500km to 1300km. This new route will help to china for less transit/deliver time and shipping cost in terms of logistic of china. Pakistan’s transportation will also improve through road, railway and fiber optic cabal projects from Karachi-Peshawar it will have speed 160km per hour and with help of pipeline between Gwadar to Nawabshah gas will be transported from Iran. According to (www.cpec.inf.com) Pakistan logistic industry will grow by US $30.77 billion in the end of 2020.

The Impact

Across much of the Northern Hemisphere, Climate Forecast System forecasts made earlier in the winter (e.g., on 1 January) are found to have more snow water equivalent (SWE) in April–June than forecasts made later (e.g., on 1 April); furthermore, later forecasts tend to predict earlier snowmelt than earlier forecasts. As a result, other forecasted model quantities (e.g., soil moisture in April–June) show systematic differences dependent on the forecast lead time. Notably, earlier forecasts predict much colder near-surface air temperatures in April–June than later forecasts. Although the later forecasts of temperature are more accurate, earlier forecasts of SWE are more realistic, suggesting that the improvement in temperature forecasts occurs for the wrong reasons. Thus, this study highlights the need to improve atmospheric processes in the model (e.g., radiative transfer, turbulence) that would cause cold biases when a more realistic amount of snow is on the ground. Furthermore, SWE differences in earlier versus later forecasts are found to much more strongly affect April–June temperature forecasts than the sea surface temperature differences over different regions, suggesting the major role of snowpack in seasonal prediction during the spring–summer transition over snowy regions.

Penelitian ini mengembangkan model persediaan Joint Economic Lot Size (JELS) pada pemasok tunggal pembeli tunggal untuk jenis produk tunggal dengan mempertimbangkan produk cacat dan tingkat produksi terkontrol. Tingkat permintaan pada pembeli bersifat stokastik. Pengiriman dilakukan dari pemasok ke pembeli dalam ukuran lot pengiriman yang sama dan lead time pengiriman bersifat tetap. Produk cacat yang ditemukan oleh pembeli pada saat inspeksi disimpan secara sementara di gudang pembeli hingga pengiriman berikutnya tiba untuk selanjutnya produk cacat dikembalikan kepada pemasok. Fungsi tujuan dari model ini adalah meminimasi total biaya persediaan gabungan pemasok pembeli dengan variabel keputusan, yaitu frekuensi pengiriman, periode review, dan tingkat produksi. Analisis sensitivitas dilakukan untuk melihat pengaruh perubahan parameter-parameter tertentu terhadap model. Hasil yang didapatkan dari analisis sensitivitas menunjukkan bahwa total biaya persediaan gabungan sensitif terhadap perubahan nilai parameter persentase produk cacat, ketidakpastian permintaan, dan permintaan. In this paper, we consider a joint economic lot size (JELS) model consisting of single vendor single buyerwith single product. We intend to study the impact of defective items and controllable production rate onthe model. The demand in buyer side is assumed to be stochastic. The delivery of lot from vendor to buyer is conducted under equal size shipment and the lead time is assumed to be constant. The defective items founded by the inspector in buyer side are carried in buyer’s storage until the next shipment and will be returned to the vendor. The goal of the proposed model is to determine optimal delivery frequency, review period and production rate by minimizing the joint total cost. A sensitivity analysis is performed to show the impact of the changes of the decision variables on model’s behavior. The result from the sensitivity analysis shows that the joint total cost is sensitive to the changes of defect rate, demand uncertainty and demand rate.

Abstract This paper discusses the first fiber-optic (FO) installation in a vertical high-pressure high-temperature deep gas well in PDO, Oman. A specially designed fiber-optic cable was successfully installed and cemented behind the production casing, which was subsequently perforated in an oriented manner without damaging the cable. This paper also describes how the fiber-optic cable was used afterwards to acquire Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) data for the purpose of hydraulic fracturing diagnostics. Fiber-optic surveillance is becoming an increasingly important activity for well and reservoir surveillance. The added complexity of the fiber-optic installation will affect the well design, which is one of the elements that requires focused attention, especially when the fiber is installed behind casing. The impact on casing design, wellhead design, perforation strategy, and logging requirements will all be discussed. In order for a well to be completed with a permanent fiber-optic cable, a few critical procedures need to be followed, including: –modifying the wellhead design to include feedthrough ports for the cable;–optimizing the cement design;–imposing strict procedures to ensure the cable is installed behind the casing without getting stuck;–changing the perforation phasing to avoid damaging the cable;–mapping the location of the cable to allow the gun string to be oriented away from the cable. The fiber-optic cable itself needed to be designed to be protected in such a way that it would not be damaged during installation and completion (perf/frac) activities. Furthermore, the cable was also optimized to improve its detectability, to aid the oriented perforation. In deep gas wells, much more than in conventional shallow water injectors or oil producers, the well integrity aspect should be given special attention. Specifically, any risks related to unwanted gas leaks, either through the control line, poor cement, or because of other design errors should be avoided. In deep gas wells, high temperature and pressure will also play a big role in the expected lifespan of the cable. Finally, the well was hydraulically fractured in four stages, using the "plug-and-perf" technique, during which DAS and DTS data were acquired continuously and across all depths of the well. The data provided valuable information on the effectiveness of each of the frac stages, it could be used to analyze screen-outs and detect out-of-zone injection, and recommendations for the optimizations of future hydraulic frac designs could be derived. The fiber-optic data were also integrated with other open-hole data for improved understanding of the reservoir performance. The next step will be to acquire repeated time-lapse DAS and DTS data for production profiling, to gain more insights of how the long-term production performance is affected by the hydraulic frac operations.

General Climate

Two studies examined the impact of macrolevel symbolic threat on intergroup attitudes. In Study 1 (N = 71), participants exposed to a macrosymbolic threat (vs. nonsymbolic threat and neutral topic) reported less support toward social policies concerning gay men, an outgroup whose stereotypes implies a threat to values, but not toward welfare recipients, a social group whose stereotypes do not imply a threat to values. Study 2 (N = 78) showed that, whereas macrolevel symbolic threat led to less favorable attitudes toward gay men, macroeconomic threat led to less favorable attitudes toward Asians, an outgroup whose stereotypes imply an economic threat. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for understanding the role of a general climate of threat in shaping intergroup attitudes.
