OPTIMIZATION OF RATE OF PENETRATION AND MECHANICAL SPECIFIC ENERGY USING RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY AND MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION

Optimization of Rate of Penetration and Mechanical Specific Energy Using Response Surface Methodology and Multi-Objective Optimization

Optimizing the drilling process is critical for the exploration of natural resources.However, there are several mechanic parameters that continuously interact with formation properties, hindering the optimization process.Rate of penetration (ROP) and mechanical specific energy (MSE) are considered two key performance indicators that allow the ident

Changes in a Giant Iceberg Created from the Collapse of the Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, Derived from Sentinel-1 and CryoSat-2 Data

The giant tabular iceberg A68 broke away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, in July 2017.The evolution of A68 would have been affected by both the Larsen C Ice Shelf, the surrounding sea ice, and the nearby shallow seafloor.In this study, we analyze the initial evolution of iceberg A68A—the largest originating from A68—in

Positive Autoregulation of an Acyl-Homoserine Lactone Quorum-Sensing Circuit Synchronizes the Population Response

ABSTRACT Many proteobacteria utilize acyl-homoserine lactone quorum-sensing signals.At low population densities, cells produce a basal level of signal, and when sufficient signal has accumulated in the surrounding environment, it binds to its receptor, and quorum-sensing-dependent genes can be activated.A common characteristic of acyl-homoserine la

Neutrosophication of statistical data in a study to assess the knowledge, attitude and symptoms on reproductive tract infection among women

Statistics mainly concerned with data that may be qualitative or quantitative.Earlier we have used the notion of statistics in the classical sense where plastic insert we assign values that are crisp.But in reality, we find some areas where the crisp concept is not sufficient to solve the problem.So, it seems difficult to assign a definite value fo
