Two-phase flow in a porous medium modeling

This research is devoted to the multiphase modeling in substances containing pores. The experimental setup is built in Comsol Multiphysics package and constitutes a soil column that deals with two substances when one of them goes from above of the column while the other one goes from below. Throughout the experiment air represents the 'upper' substance while the second one varies. The varying matter allows checking the model for its accuracy. After the check the transition to the air/oil system is done. The result of simulation is distribution of substance pressure in the laboratory column at the final time

application of the ads method to predict a hidden basal detachment nw borneo fold and thrust belt

Abstract The NW Borneo margin is characterized by a complex deepwater fold-and-thrust belt. Despite previous studies, the definition of a univocal detachment level for folding and thrusting is still lacking. The area-depth-strain (ADS) method can be used to determine the location for a detachment in areas lacking data, and to balance geological cross sections. This study applies the ADS method to the central part of the NW Borneo fold-and-thrust belt to predict a structurally conclusive detachment level in an area lacking a seismic detachment reflection. Seismic interpretations were completed after the ADS-determination of the basal detachment, providing input for a 2D sequential restoration that delivered values on shortening distribution and shortening rate. The kinematic and mechanic analyses presented, document that the central part of the NW Borneo fold-and-thrust belt is affected by both, near- and far-field stresses, and that the far-field crustal shortening component becomes more important northward. This work demonstrates that the ADS method can be effectively applied in fold-thrust belt settings with limited information on the detachment, supports in a quantitative way the tectonic and stratigraphic interpretation of seismic-reflection data and provides a robust structural base for the restoration of balanced cross-sections, including the reconstruction of syn-kinematically eroded stratigraphy

Using an OPEN UMS format for document flow formalization in medicine

The question about construction of medical documents by means of AURRORA MIS with the use of the Open UMS format is considered in the work. The approach suggested allows data storage in the electronic form suitable for generation of required statistical reports and different researches and preserves a possibility of correct data interpretation

24 auf einen Streich. Nowitzki ein Phänomen - auch von der Linie ; Gedanken aus Sicht der Angewandten Sportwissenschaft ; Teil 1

Dirk Nowitzki ist zweifelsohne die Gallionsfigur des deutschen Basketballs. Er stellte in der Saison 2011/2012 einen NBA-Rekord auf, indem er in einem Spiel alle seine 24 Freiwürfe traf. Die Verfasser beleuchten diese außergewöhnliche Leistung aus trainingswissenschaftlicher, biomechanischer, pädagogischer und sportpsychologischer Perspektive

Телекоммуникационные системы для мониторинга и охраны лесных ресурсов России

Излагаются результаты разработки и полномасштабного внедрения телекоммуникационных систем семейства "Ясень" для мониторинга и охраны лесных ресурсов России, составляющих более четверти ресурсов мира. Описаны модификации систем семейства "Ясень" для федерального, регионального уровней и для подразделений, в которых предусмотрена интеграция каналов связи (наземных, радио, сотовых, спутниковых), документированная связь, геоинформационный мониторинг и сопровождение подвижных объектов

Is student mentoring career-defining in surgical disciplines? A comparative survey among medical schools and medical students for mentoring programs

Objective Facing a shortage of young surgeons, this study aimed to examine the availability of mentoring programs and if this can counteract this lack. Summary background data Medical mentoring programs have proven to be decisive to influence students’ later career decisions. Since their structure may depend on the medical school and the effort of single disciplines, the offers are often very heterogeneous. Methods Anonymous online-questionnaires were developed and distributed among medical students in Germany and the dean for teaching of the medical schools from July 2019 to January 2020 in Germany. Data of the availability of mentoring programs, their structure and the impact of surgery were collected. Results Forty three medical schools participated, with 65% offering mentoring programs. 18 of medical schools had no additional funding available for this. Surgical subjects participated in these programs in only 30%. Additionally, 1,516 medical students participated in the second survey. A total of 70% had already participated in a mentoring program with a significantly higher proportion of men. Of these, 94% stated that this was helpful and had an impact on their career planning, without any gender differences. 95% would participate in structured surgical mentoring programs and 95% agreed that this could have an impact on their career planning. Conclusion Mentoring programs may be able to influence career planning, nevertheless participation by surgical specialties has been low. Becoming more active in providing mentoring programs with a special focus on women and offering more surgical content can be a way to counteract the lack of surgical trainees
