Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

High temperature high oil pressure oil and gas well completion testing have always been a technical challenge and basic theoretical research is one of the key factors needed to ensure a successful completion test. The completion test basic theory includes: a stress analysis of the completion string completion string buckling behavior and temperature and pressure distribution prediction. The completion string is the main bearing and power transmission component for oil and gas well operations and production and it is required to take on a combination of loads which result in completion string deformation. Because of these complex relationships completion string stress analysis has become increasingly more complicated. This book discusses the characters of tubular strings in HTHP (High Temperature - High Pressure) oil and gas wells. These characters include the mechanical behavior of tubular strings and the temperature and pressure variation of tubular strings in different conditions. Mathematical models are established for different conditions and solution existence and uniqueness of some models is discussed providing algorithms corresponding to the different models. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the validity of models and the feasibility of algorithms and the impact of the parameters of models for oil and gas wells is also discussed. This book is written for production and testing engineers to provide them with the tools to deal more effectively with the numerical decisions they have to take and for researchers and technicians in petroleum and gas testing and production engineering. Finally it is also intended to serve as a reference book for mathematicians college teachers and students. | Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Teaching Strings in Today's Classroom A Guide for Group Instruction

Teaching Strings in Today's Classroom A Guide for Group Instruction

Teaching Strings in Today’s Classroom: A Guide for Group Instruction assists music education students in-service teachers and performers to realize their goals of becoming effective string educators. It introduces readers to the school orchestra environment presents the foundational concepts needed to teach strings and provides opportunities for the reader to apply this information. The author describes how becoming an effective string teacher requires three things of equal importance: content knowledge performance skills and opportunities to apply the content knowledge and performance skills in a teaching situation. In two parts the text addresses the unique context that is teaching strings a practice with its own objectives and related teaching strategies. Part I (Foundations of Teaching and Learning String Instruments) first presents an overview of the string teaching environment encouraging the reader to consider how context impacts teaching followed by practical discussions of instrument sizing and position chapters on the development of each hand and instruction for best practices concerning tone production articulation and bowing guidelines. Part II (Understanding Fingerings) provides clear guidance for understanding basic finger patterns positions and the creation of logical fingerings. String fingerings are abstract and thus difficult to negotiate without years of playing experience—these chapters (and their corresponding interactive online tutorials) distill the content knowledge required to understand string fingerings in a way that non-string players can understand and use. Teaching Strings in Today’s Classroom contains pedagogical information performance activities and an online virtual teaching environment with twelve interactive tutorials three for each of the four string instruments.

Quantum Field Theory Of Point Particles And Strings

Quantum Field Theory Of Point Particles And Strings

The purpose of this book is to introduce string theory without assuming any background in quantum field theory. Part I of this book follows the development of quantum field theory for point particles while Part II introduces strings. All of the tools and concepts that are needed to quantize strings are developed first for point particles. Thus Part I presents the main framework of quantum field theory and provides for a coherent development of the generalization and application of quantum field theory for point particles to strings. Part II emphasizes the quantization of the bosonic string. The treatment is most detailed in the path integral representation where the object of interest the partition function is a sum over random surfaces. The relevant mathematics of Riemann surfaces is covered. Superstrings are briefly introduced and the sum over genus 0 supersurfaces is computed. The emphasis of the book is calculational and most computations are presented in step-by-step detail. The book is unique in that it develops all three representations of quantum field theory (operator functional Schr�dinger and path integral) for point particles and strings. In many cases identical results are worked out in each representation to emphasize the representation-independent structures of quantum field theory. | Quantum Field Theory Of Point Particles And Strings

Reconceiving Structure in Contemporary Music New Tools in Music Theory and Analysis

Reconceiving Structure in Contemporary Music New Tools in Music Theory and Analysis

This book studies recent music in the western classical tradition offering a critique of current analytical/theoretical approaches and proposing alternatives. The critique addresses the present fringe status of recent music sometimes described as crossover postmodern post-classical post-minimalist etc. and demonstrates that existing descriptive languages and analytical approaches do not provide adequate tools to address this music in positive and productive terms. Existing tools and concepts were developed primarily in the mid-20th century in tandem with the high modernist compositional aesthetic and they have changed little since then. The aesthetics of music composition on the other hand have been in constant transformation. Lochhead proposes new ways to conceive musical works their structurings of musical experience and time and the procedures and goals of analytic close reading. These tools define investigative procedures that engage the multiple perspectives of composers performers and listeners and that generate conceptual modes unique to each work. In action they rebuild a conceptual methodological and experiential place for recent music. These new approaches are demonstrated in analyses of four pieces: Kaija Saariaho’s Lonh (1996) Sofia Gubaidulina’s Second String Quartet (1987) Stacy Garrop’s String Quartet no. 2 Demons and Angels (2004-05) and Anna Clyne’s Choke (2004). This book defies the prediction of classical music’s death and will be of interest to scholars and musicians of classical music and those interested in music theory musicology and aural culture. | Reconceiving Structure in Contemporary Music New Tools in Music Theory and Analysis

Reification and the Aesthetics of Music

Reification and the Aesthetics of Music

This innovative study re-evaluates the philosophical significance of aesthetics in the context of contemporary debates on the nature of philosophy. Lewis's main argument is that contemporary conceptions of meaning and truth have been reified and that aesthetics is able to articulate why this is the case with important consequences for understanding the horizons and nature of philosophical inquiry. Reification and the Aesthetics of Music challenges the most emphatic and problematic conceptions of meaning and truth in both analytic philosophy and postmodern thought by acknowledging the ontological and logical primacy of our concrete practice-based experiences with aesthetic phenomena. By engaging with a variety of aesthetic practices including Beethoven's symphonies and string quartets Wagner's music dramas Richard Strauss's Elektra the twentieth-century avant-garde Jamaican soundsystem culture and punk and contemporary noise this book demonstrates the aesthetic relevance of reification as well as the concept's applicability to contemporary debates within philosophy.

Virtual Topology and Functor Geometry

Virtual Topology and Functor Geometry

Intrinsically noncommutative spaces today are considered from the perspective of several branches of modern physics including quantum gravity string theory and statistical physics. From this point of view it is ideal to devise a concept of space and its geometry that is fundamentally noncommutative. Providing a clear introduction to noncommutative topology Virtual Topology and Functor Geometry explores new aspects of these areas as well as more established facets of noncommutative algebra. Presenting the material in an easy colloquial style to facilitate understanding the book begins with an introduction to category theory followed by a chapter on noncommutative spaces. This chapter examines noncommutative lattices noncommutative opens sheaf theory the generalized Stone space and Grothendieck topology. The author then studies Grothendieck categorical representations to formulate an abstract notion of affine open. The final chapter proposes a dynamical version of topology and sheaf theory providing at least one solution of the problem of sheafification independent of generalizations of topos theory. By presenting new ideas for the development of an intrinsically noncommutative geometry this book fosters the further unification of different kinds of noncommutative geometry and the expression of observations that involve natural phenomena.

Psychopath The Case of Patrick MacKay

Psychopath The Case of Patrick MacKay

First published in 1976 Psychopath is a study of Patrick Mackay who in 1974 – with a string of muggings and killings behind him – was on trial for murder and was imprisoned in November 1975. John Penycate and Tim Clark – responsible for the controversial BBC Panorama programme on Patrick Mackay’s case – here take their investigation further and raise the important question of how the various responsible agencies which came into contact with him failed to see the danger and prevent these needless killings. Mackay passed through five mental institutions as well as approved schools remand centres and homes. Twice he had been released from Moss Side Special Hospital – the North of England’s equivalent to Broadmoor – against the advice of his doctors. Penycate and Clark show that the signs were there for all to see. They give a detailed account of Patrick Mackay’s deterioration from his turbulent childhood through numerous suicide attempts acts of violence and spells in mental and penal institutions to his becoming London’s most notorious ‘mugger’ and a multiple killer culminating in the final maniacal axing of his friend Father Crean illustrated here with Mackay’s own words. This book will be of interest to students of criminology psychology penology government and media. | Psychopath The Case of Patrick MacKay

A Language of Contemporary Architecture An Index of Topology and Typology

A Language of Contemporary Architecture An Index of Topology and Typology

As a way to understand the contemporary project in architecture this book provides an index of ideas theories projects and definitions that string into a methodology for evaluating the contemporary language of architecture described as “contemporism” through a review of topology (form) and typology (system and elements). The contemporary project has been trying to answer the postmodern question of how to move beyond modernism through a thread of architectural styles that tried to respond to deficiencies from the modern promise and contextual changes. Yet the question remains should this ongoing struggle to move beyond modernism be a stylistic battle? Has the present architectural practice ever left the modernist tendencies and is there a structure for a contemporary language in architecture? This book presents a collection of highly illustrated projects that have worked under these parameters to break away from modernism in order to present a holistic integration of topology and typology as a language for “contemporism. ” The index is illustrated with individual spreads which can be read sequentially or independently and encourages the reader to make their own connections. It also includes interviews and contributions from Toyo Ito Anthony Vidler Ben van Berkel Christian Kerez and Greg Lynn. This book is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students in architecture. | A Language of Contemporary Architecture An Index of Topology and Typology

Strategic Responses to Domestic Contestation The EU Between Politicisation and Depoliticisation

Strategic Responses to Domestic Contestation The EU Between Politicisation and Depoliticisation

How have EU-level actors responded to the increase in salience and contestation across the member states? This volume explores and explains the actors’ strategic responses and emphasises that domestic pressure has triggered both depoliticisation and politicisation. Long gone are the times when EU decisions left citizens indifferent and when the supranational was largely irrelevant for public opinion and electoral politics across the member states. Instead a string of existential crises has struck and unsettled the Union over more than a decade. These crises have politicised Europe tested the endurance of the supranational system to its core and put EU-level actors under unprecedented pressure. This volume explores how and why EU-level actors respond to the various sometimes competing ‘bottom-up’ demands and challenges the view that domestic contestation necessarily limits EU-level room for manoeuvre. Instead contributions show that domestic pressure can be perceived as either constraining or enabling with responses therefore ranging from the restrained to the assertive. Driven by the survival of the Union by the preservation of their own powers and by different perceptions of domestic demands actors will choose to politicise or depoliticise decision-making behaviour and policy outcomes at the supranational level. The volume concludes that whilst domestic pressure triggers supranational responses such responses should not be assumed to be restraining; they may equally be empowering including for European integration itself. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy. | Strategic Responses to Domestic Contestation The EU Between Politicisation and Depoliticisation

Rethinking Medieval and Renaissance Political Thought Historiographical Problems Fresh Interpretations New Debates

Rethinking Medieval and Renaissance Political Thought Historiographical Problems Fresh Interpretations New Debates

This collection of essays written by leading experts showcases historiographical problems fresh interpretations and new debates in medieval and Renaissance history and political thought. Recent scholarship on medieval and Renaissance political thought is witness to tectonic movements. These involve quiet yet considerable re-evaluations of key thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas and Machiavelli as well as the string of lesser known political thinkers who wrote in western Europe between Late Antiquity and the Reformation. Taking stock of thirty years of developments this volume demonstrates the contemporary vibrancy of the history of medieval and Renaissance political thought. By both celebrating and challenging the perspectives of a generation of scholars notably Cary J. Nederman it offers refreshing new assessments. The book re-introduces the history of western political thought in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the wider disciplines of History and Political Science. Recent historiographical debates have revolutionized discussion of whether or not there was an Aristotelian revolution in the thirteenth century. Thinkers such as Machiavelli and Marsilius of Padua are read in new ways; less well-known texts such as the Irish On the Twelve Abuses of the Age offer new perspectives. Further the collection argues that medieval political ideas contain important lessons for the study of concepts of contemporary interest such as toleration. The volume is an ideal resource for both students and scholars interested in medieval and Renaissance history as well as the history of political thought. | Rethinking Medieval and Renaissance Political Thought Historiographical Problems Fresh Interpretations New Debates

Fortran 2018 with Parallel Programming

Fortran 2018 with Parallel Programming

The programming language Fortran dates back to 1957 when a team of IBM engineers released the first Fortran Compiler. During the past 60 years the language had been revised and updated several times to incorporate more features to enable writing clean and structured computer programs. The present version is Fortran 2018. Since the dawn of the computer era there had been a constant demand for a “larger” and “faster” machine. To increase the speed there are three hurdles. The density of the active components on a VLSI chip cannot be increased indefinitely and with the increase of the density heat dissipation becomes a major problem. Finally the speed of any signal cannot exceed the velocity of the light. However by using several inexpensive processors in parallel coupled with specialized software and hardware programmers can achieve computing speed similar to a supercomputer. This book can be used to learn the modern Fortran from the beginning and the technique of developing parallel programs using Fortran. It is for anyone who wants to learn Fortran. Knowledge beyond high school mathematics is not required. There is not another book on the market yet which deals with Fortran 2018 as well as parallel programming.
