The MPS-Based Fracture Network Simulation Method: Application to Subsurface Domain
No full textNatural fractures conduct fluids in subsurface reservoirs. Quick and realistic predictions of the fracture network organization and its fluid flow efficiency from limited amount of data is critical to optimize resources productivity. We recently developed a method based on multiple point statistics (MPS) technique to produce geologically-constrained fracture network simulations. The method allows to account for the intrinsic non-stationarity of these networks by considering a multivariate input data instead of averaged distribution of fracture parameters. In addition, the method considers probability maps reflecting the influence of fracture drivers in the network variability. Consequently, the simulated fracture networks derived from the innovative MPS approach are geologically better constrained than in classical discrete fracture network modelling approaches. This paper proposes to apply this method in subsurface conditions where available data are sparsely distributed. We developed a workflow where data are gathered from wellbore and from additional sources (outcrops). These data are used to extrapolate a network around the borehole as training images and themselves are extrapolated at the reservoir scale following a geological probability map.This work also presents innovations on the way how training images and probability maps that may integrate more geology constrain than relying almost entirely on available data.Accepted Author ManuscriptApplied Geolog

Objective: This study aims to estimate the joint correlations among cervical vertebrae maturation (CVM), spheno-occipital synchrondrosis (SOS), midpalatal suture maturation (MPS), and third molar mineralization (TMM) and to assess the predictive potential of SOS on MPS. This study also explores the relationship and correlations between facial growth pattern (FMA and ANB) and CVM, SOS, and MPS.
Methods: 570 CBCT scans from an Illinois private practice orthodontic office were analyzed and MPS, CVM, SOS, and TMM stage were recorded by two independent investigators. FMA and ANB were analyzed in a subset of 114 growing subjects. Intra and inter-rater reliability tests were evaluated with weighted Cohen’s Kappa Tests. Non-parametric Spearman correlation coefficients for ordinal data were used to estimate the pairwise correlations among SOS, CVM, MPS and TMM. To evaluate if SOS can predict MPS, ordinal regression models were estimated.
Results: Our results confirm prior research showing a strong positive correlation between SOS and CVM and SOS and MPS, and a moderate correlation between CVM and MPS and TMM and SOS. Weak correlations are reported for TMM with MPS and SOS. ANB and FMA were not significantly correlated with SOS, MPS, or CVM. Our results confirm prior findings that SOS can be used to predict CVM using ordinal regression, and we report a similar model for the first time that can be used to predict MPS from SOS fusion stage.
Conclusions: SOS is strongly correlated with MPS, and SOS stage along with the patient’s age can be used to predict MPS using ordinal regression. This finding is helpful as a diagnostic tool when MPS stage is not clear (i.e. excessively thin or curved palate) or when more information on the skeletal maturity of the patient is desired. Facial growth pattern (FMA and ANB) is not significantly correlated with SOS, MPS, or CVM.

Lessons learned from developing mbeddr: a case study in language engineering with MPS
No full textLanguage workbenches are touted as a promising technology to engineer languages for use in a wide range of domains, from programming to science to business. However, not many real-world case studies exist that evaluate the suitability of language workbench technology for this task. This paper contains such a case study. In particular, we evaluate the development of mbeddr, a collection of integrated languages and language extensions built with the Jetbrains MPS language workbench. mbeddr consists of 81 languages, with their IDE support, 34 of them C extensions. The mbeddr languages use a wide variety of notations---textual, tabular, symbolic and graphical---and the C extensions are modular; new extensions can be added without changing the existing implementation of C. mbeddr's development has spanned 10 person-years so far, and the tool is used in practice and continues to be developed. This makes mbeddr a meaningful case study of non-trivial size and complexity. The evaluation is centered around five research questions: language modularity, notational freedom and projectional editing, mechanisms for managing complexity, performance and scalability issues and the consequences for the development process. We draw generally positive conclusions; language engineering with MPS is ready for real-world use. However, we also identify a number of areas for improvement in the state of the art in language engineering in general, and in MPS in particular.Programming LanguagesSoftware Technolog
Uncertainty in centrifuge test of slope failure and its simulation by MPS method
No full textWe sometimes encounter a case in which very small change of computation or experiment condition causes the significant difference in response when strong nonlinearity is involved. Slope failure simulation due to gravity by MPS method is performed to examine feature of uncertainty. The simulation results show that the output uncertainty is proportional to input uncertainty in weak nonlinear or linear behavior. In strong nonlinear behavior, the output uncertainty is constant irrespective of uncertainty level of input data when the input uncertainty is less than certain level. The range of the constant uncertainty depends on the strength of nonlinearity in the phenomenon. Comparison of uncertainties in centrifuge slope failure test and its simulation by MPS method is shown and discussed

The dramaturgy of ritual performances in Indian parliamentary debates
No full textThe content, style and form of MPs' performances on the floor of both Houses of the
Indian Parliament has undergone dramatic change within the last decade. For example,
97% of the productive hours of the Winter (Nov-Dec) 2010 Session were lost due to
intense disruption by MPs across the political spectrum seeking to stall the House.
Moreover, an increasing number of Bills are debated for less than an hour, if at all, on
the floor of Parliament - raising the conceptual question of whether legislation can still
be considered one of parliament's key functions in India. These changes require, at the
very least, an attempt to re-conceptualize the meaning and significance attributed to
various tropes of parliamentary performances, including those which seemingly subvert
all notions of parliamentary procedure, decorum and etiquette. In my thesis, I adopt a
novel interdisciplinary analytical framework, drawing upon performance studies, microsociological
dramaturgy of face-to-face interaction, interpretations of procedural
invocations, rhetorical political analysis and the study of political rituals. My primary
research question was whether the concept of ritual could usefully be mapped onto
performances of debates in the Indian parliamentary context. I then asked what the
significance of the absence or presence of rituals in this context would mean. Two case
were studies selected for this analysis, namely the Prevention of Terrorism Act (2001-
2004) and the Women's Reservation Bill (1996-2011), informed by a more general
ethnography of the Indian Parliament undertaken for this research. Both studies were
chosen using the logic of 'extreme case study selection' as these performances exhibit
extreme forms of dramaturgical violence, protest and polarized rhetoric that is
increasingly reflective of the everyday performances of the Indian Parliament. In my
research, I have adopted an interpretivist-constructivist approach to the ethnographic
method and have conducted two tranches of field research in New Delhi for that
purpose. My analysis demonstrates the presence of a diverse range of rituals of debate
being performed simultaneously during the legislative process within the Indian
Parliament, namely, procedural rituals, interpersonal rituals and disruptive rituals. These
findings corroborate the broader argument that the study of rituals are integral to an
understanding of parliamentary processes. Moreover, instead of dismissing certain
aspects of performance (e.g. physical obstruction of debate) as being symptomatic of
what many scholars have called the 'decline of parliament', my findings support the
cause for re-signifying, or re-reading parliamentary disruption as supporting, rather than
diminishing, the processes of political representation and widening the spectrum of
forms of political action considered as legitimate modes of political deliberation. The
evolution of these newer, sometimes disruptive, forms of representative ritual can be
read into wider processes of vernacularization and mediatization currently transforming
the ethos, identity and modus operandi of the Indian Parliament
Book review: the House of Commons: an anthropology of MPs at work by Emma Crewe
No full textA new book by Emma Crewe explores the day to day lives of Members of Parliament as they cycle through the House of Commons. MPs are pushed and pulled by various interests and allegiances. Marion Koob finds The House of Commons: An Anthropology of MPs at Work insightful, and is a strong case for anthropologists to be more widely involved in political analysis. The book also gives an excellent overview of the 2010-2015 Parliament, through which the author charts more recent changes, such as the impact of social media and the 24 hours news cycle, the weakening of whips, and more diversified representation
Brexit and parliamentary sovereignty : the Europeanisation of the House of Commons and MPs' rising role conflicts
No full textPublished online: 11 March 2021The causes of Brexit are usually analysed from the viewpoint of the domestic factors that led to the outcome of the 2016 referendum. In contrast, this article examines whether the impact of European integration on the United Kingdom’s parliamentary democracy can be used to help understand the context in which the debates about the UK’s departure from in the EU took place. Applying an interpretive sociological approach and analysing interviews with MPs in the House of Commons’ European scrutiny system and parliamentary reports, the author finds that MPs’ role conflicts have risen in three phases since 1992. Procedural adaptations have helped MPs play their deliberative role better, but they have also exposed important limitations for other traditional legitimation logics. The findings point to the need for further studies on the impact of European decision-making on domestic democratic practices, both to better understand the context of Brexit and to create more resilient democratic institutions in the EU
