RACIONALIDAD PRÁCTICA: FRÓNESIS Y SINDÉRESIS PARA UNA TEORÍA DE LA DECISIÓN MORAL by Fabio Morandín

“…Se define a la prudencia como el método para alcanzar los fines que se desean y a la sindéresis como la capacidad natural para juzgar la manera recta. Si bien se ha pensado que son dos conceptos inequiparables, en este trabajo sostengo que (Φρόνησις – phronēsis) prudencia y (Συντήρηοη – syndêrêsis) sindéresis son dos momentos que forman parte de una teoría de la decisión, con la salvedad de que existen elementos racionales que se implican en la deliberación moral, pero, sobre todo, que es producto de una deliberación intuitiva de la persona, basada en los primeros principios.…”

Effect of Matrix-Wellbore Flow and Porosity on Pressure Transient Response in Shale Formation Modeling by Dual Porosity and Dual Permeability System by Daolun Li, Wenshu Zha, Dewen Zheng, Longjun Zhang, Detang Lu

“…Parametric studies are conducted for a horizontal well with multiple infinite conductivity hydraulic fractures in shale-gas reservoir to investigate effect of matrix-wellbore flow, natural fracture porosity, and matrix porosity. We find that the ratio of fracture permeability to matrix permeability approximately decides the bottom hole pressure (BHP) error caused by omitting the flow between matrix and wellbore and that the effect of matrix porosity on BHP is related to adsorption gas content. …”
