Petrophysical Regression regarding Porosity, Permeability, and Water Saturation Driven by Logging-Based Ensemble and Transfer Learnings: A Case Study of Sandy-Mud Reservoirs by Shenghan Zhang, Yufeng Gu, Yinshan Gao, Xinxing Wang, Daoyong Zhang, Liming Zhou

“…From a general review, most petrophysical models applied for the conventional logging interpretation imply that porosity, permeability, or water saturation mathematically have a linear or nonlinear relationship with well logs, and then arguing the prediction of these three parameters actually is accessible under a regression of logging sequences. …”

Water Quality Assessment of Rivers in Aquatic Eco-environmental Function Regions in Changzhou City by WANG Xuesong, ZHANG Ge, LI Ying, XU Jinqian, CAI Yongjiu

“…In 2018,57 monitoring sections were arranged for a quarterly water quality survey in Changzhou,which can help grasp the water quality of 13 aquatic eco-environmental function regions.The current situation,characteristics of spatial heterogeneity,and seasonal changing laws of main water quality indicators are evaluated by multiple methods such as the water quality grade analysis,comprehensive water quality identification index (WQII) method,redundancy analysis,and principal component analysis.In this way,we can explore the major influencing factors of water quality.The results are as follows:① In 2018,the water quality of rivers in Changzhou City was mainly classified as Grade IV according to the Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water (GB 3838—2002),which indicates the poor water quality.② The results show significant spatio-temporal difference in the concentration of main water quality indicators,and the water quality in the western hills is better than that in the eastern plains.The grade of water quality is higher in summer and autumn than in spring and winter.③ From the perspective of aquatic eco-environmental function regions,the water quality of III-09 (ecologically Grade III), IV-02 (ecologically Grade IV),and IV-03 (ecologically Grade IV) regions in the eastern urban area is poor,while the water quality of I-02 (ecologically Grade I), II-01 (ecologically Grade II),III-08 (ecologically Grade III) regions in the west is good.The grades of aquatic eco-environmental function regions are highly consistent with the water quality,which proves that the function regions can provide scientific reference for the monitoring, assessment,and environmental management of water quality.④ The redundancy analysis shows that the land for construction is the main influencing factor in the deterioration of water quality.The increase in the relative proportion of arable land and the decrease in the aquatic area closely correlate with the deterioration of water quality when the scale is over 2,000 m.⑤ The principal component analysis indicates that the five-day biochemical oxygen demand,COD,and permanganate index have high interpretation rates.This shows that the water quality of rivers in Changzhou City is mainly affected by organic pollution and eutrophication. …”

SCIENTIFIC PARADIGM SHIFT AS THE BACKGROUND OF LANGUAGE EDUCATION by V. D. Tabanakova

“…Semantic information processing is carried out by linguists «manually»; therefore, fundamental linguistic knowledge is required in the fields of semantics, syntactics, pragmatics of the language sign, laws of linguistic nominations, laws of references, regularities of perception and reproduction, mechanisms of understanding and interpretation, etc.Practical significance. Philosophical conceptualization of a modern paradigm of scientific linguistic knowledge allows to draw a conclusion on the need of fundamental linguistic education support at the high level on behalf of preservation, realization and full development of all unique functions of a natural language as means of thinking and communication, a tool of information technologies and a sign system, and, at last, as a cultural phenomenon.…”
