Hydrocarbon prospectivity to the north-west of the assumood field, Sirt Basin, Libya
No full textThe area of study covers parts of the Assumood Ridge and the Wadayat Trough in the Sirt Basin, onshore Libya. The area is surrounded on three sides by gas fields producing from the Lower Oligocene Arida Formation, the Middle Eocene Gialo Formation and the Bahi /Gargaf Formation. The DDDl-6 well was drilled in the study area in 1965 and tested gas at low rates from carbonates of the Upper Palaeocene Harash Formation. Re-evaluation of data from this well in 1996 confirmed the presence of untested gas intervals in the Upper Cretaceous Kalash Formation and in the Gialo Formation. The re-evaluation encouraged Sirte Oil Company to acquire more seismic data in 1998 and to interpret all available seismic data in the area. The study area is about 380 km(^2) and contains 1196 km of 2-D seismic data comprising 48 seismic lines. The data consist of eight vintages of seismic data from 1971 to 1998. Borehole data from 10 wells were utilised. Three time structure maps were generated in this study for the tops of the following carbonate formations: the Kalash Formation, the Upper Palaeocene-Lower Eocene Kheir Formation and the Gialo Formation. The Kheir Formation was mapped because direct mapping of the Harash carbonate is not possible as its contact with the overlying Harash/Kheir limestone beds is usually not seismically resolvable. Two structural closures were identified as prospective locations for the Kalash Formation, the first located south of the DDDl-6 well and the second located southwest of the ZZl-6 well. One structural closure for the Gialo Formation was identified, approximately at the same location as the first closure at the Top Kalash horizon. No prospective locations were identified for the Kheir Formation. The new prospective location located south of DDDl-6 well is particularly recommended for exploration drilling since the same well could test structural closures in both the Kalash and Gialo formations
Esperienza ed evento della verità. Pratica filosofica e astrazione scientifica nel pensiero di A.N. Whitehead
No full textThis article analyzes the relationship between philosophy, experience and event in A.N. Whitehead’s thought. From the critics of the concept of object, the author retraces and describes the peculiar “abstract-concrete dialectic”, at the center of the researches concerning the perceptual experience.
Furthermore, according to Whitehead’s later works, she demonstrates how the philosophical practice is different from all other kinds of science, although it requires science itself because of the co-implication of object and event, abstraction and recognition
Il "Guerrin Meschino" di Gesualdo Bufalino : un'"opra" in versi
No full textGesualdo Bufalino first published Il Guerrin Meschino in 1991 in a non-commercial edition. In 1993, after a deep revision, he re-published his work with publisher Bompiani: the novel has a modified plot, and the author decided to insert three new poems in addition to the opening and closing poems, formerly present in 1991’s edition. This paper, in its entirety supported by handwritten material preserved at Fondazione Gesualdo Bufalino (Comiso), is divided in two parts: the first part illustrates the differences between the first and the second edition, the second part provides a critical edition of the five poems
A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE TEACHER. IN MEMORY OF THE EXCELLENT TEACHER AND SCIENTIST M.R. SAPIN
No full textM.R. Sapin (1925–2015) was a professor at I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, honorary academician of Russian academy of medical sciences (1988), and an outstanding representative of the Moscow anatomical school of the middle of XX – early XXI century. From the very beginning of his medical training, Mikhail Romanovich got interested in anatomy, especially in angiology and lymphology, and later concentrated on its studying. The author of more than 30 text books and guidelines for schools, universities, and colleges, Mikhail Romanovich was the doctoral and thesis advisor of 51 Ph.D. and approximately 70 MD dissertations. M.R. Sapin made a significant contribution to the development of anatomical education providing the departments with a various range of dry and wet specimens. His stunning and effective work as a tutor was highly appreciated by his students and colleagues, Russian and foreign anatomists. M.R. Sapin was the leader of the Laboratory of Functional Anatomy since 1972, president of the International Association of Morphologists (1992–2006), chairman of the expert commission of Higher Attestation Commission (1959–1994), etc. A man of a great willpower, M.R. Sapin faced a lot of obstacles in his life and research work but overcame that all successfully. The article presents the most important facts of anatomist’s career and lifetime.</jats:p
Verslag van het voorgevallene tijdens het hooge opperwater op de Nederlandsche rivieren in den winter van 1919 op 1920
No full textNadat de Rijn op 20 December 1919 tot even beneden den middelbaren zomerstand 1901-1910 (M.R.) was gedaald vertoonde zich op die rivier een sterke en vrij snelle was, waardoor het water te Keulen tot 6m +M.R. bij het einde van het jaar steeg. In de daarop volgende 11 dagen daalde de waterstand tot 1.5m +M.R. om daarna in 5 dagen weder te rijzen tot den zeer hoogen stand van 7m +M.R. Door een aanvankelijk sterken later flauweren val liep de stand weder terug tot 1.5m +M.R. op 30 Januari. Ook op de Maas vertoonden zich twee dicht op elkaar volgende sterke wassen. Bij den aanvang van den eersten was op 19 december stond het water te Maastricht op ruim 1m +M.R. en steeg het in 6 dagen tot 4.37m +M.R.; in de daaropvolgende 9 dagen bleef de stand steeds hoger dan 4m +M.R. en daalde toen tot ongeveer 2m +M.R. op 10 Januari 1920. De tweede was trad op laatsgenoemde datum in waarbij het water oplied tot 4.94m +M.R. op 15 Januari. Het water daalde daarna dadelijk en was op 29 Januari tot ongeveer 2m +M.R. weggevallen. Bij den tweeden was op Rijn en Maas werden de hoogst bekende waterstanden bij open rivieren overtroffen te Keulen met 7 cm en te Maastricht met 2 cm. De rivieren waren ijsvrij.Hoogwaterversla
