High-yielding oil wells were recently found in the first member of Paleogene Shahejie Formation, the Binhai area of Qikou Sag, providing an example of medium- and deep-buried high-quality reservoirs in the central part of a faulted lacustrine basin.By using data of cores, cast thin sections, scanning electron microscope and physical property tests,
Effects of gear modifications in a North Atlantic pelagic longline fishery: A multiyear study.
The threat of population declines caused by pelagic longline fisheries in the Atlantic has increased the concern to find strategies that minimize the bycatch and mortality of non-target marine animals.Gear modification, such as the use of circle hooks instead of conventional J-hooks, has been identified as an effective bycatch reduction strategy in
Boethius on the Problem of Evil
The problem of evil is one the most important challenges presented to the belief in the existence of an Omnipotent, Omniscient and All-Benevolent God.The toughest side of this problem is that there seems to be an inconsistency between these attributes and the existence of evil.The aforementioned inconsistency is not straightforward, but rather it r
Semantic Similarity Assessment of Volunteered Geographic Information
The recent development in communication Vitamin A technologies between individuals allows for the establishment of more informal collaborative map data projects which are called volunteered geographic information (VGI).These projects, such as OpenStreetMap (OSM) project, seek to create free alternative maps which let users add or input new material
Activity Monitoring with a Wrist-Worn, Accelerometer-Based Device
This study condenses huge amount of raw data measured from a MEMS accelerometer-based, wrist-worn device on different levels of physical activities (PAs) for subjects wearing the device 24 h a day continuously.In this study, we have employed the device to build up assessment models for quantifying activities, to develop an algorithm for sleep durat
