Moreover, they represent the largest background for the direct photon measurement and an accurate estimate is therefore necessary to determine the decay photon contribution. The ALICE experiment measures $\\pi^{0}$ and $\\eta$ mesons via the two-gamma decay channel. The photon detection can either be direct, using the electromagnetic calorimeters EMCal and PHOS, or by reconstructing the electron-positron pairs from photon conversions in the detector material (photon conversion method, PCM). With the PCM, photons are reconstructed using the ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS) and the Time Projection Chamber (TPC). This method has full azimuthal coverage, which compensates for the small conversion probability. It provides a precise measurement at low transverse momentum. The calorimeters have reduced acceptance but trigger capabilities and provide the high $p_{\\mbox{\\tiny{T}}}$ measurement, where they also have good energy resolution. The errors from these measurements are independent thus their comparison is a good cross check and their combination gives a more precise result. In this presentation, we will show the $\\pi^{0}$ and $\\eta$ spectra in Pb--Pb collisions at $\\sqrt{s_{\\mbox{\\tiny NN}}}$ = 2.76~TeV and pp collisions at different center of mass energy obtained over a wide transverse momentum range.\n\n### Primary author\n\nMs Lucia Leardini (Physikalisches Institut (PI) Heidelberg)\n\n Slides" ]

[ "# Linear interpolation", null, "Given the two red points, the blue line is the linear interpolant between the points, and the value y at x may be found by linear interpolation.\n\nIn mathematics, linear interpolation is a method of curve fitting using linear polynomials.\n\n## Linear interpolation between two known points", null, "In this geometric visualisation, the value at the green circle multiplied by the distance between the red and blue circles is equal to the sum of the value at the red circle multiplied by the distance between the green and blue circles, and the value at the blue circle multiplied by the distance between the green and red circles.\n\nIf the two known points are given by the coordinates", null, "$(x_0,y_0)$ and", null, "$(x_1,y_1)$, the linear interpolant is the straight line between these points. For a value x in the interval", null, "$(x_0, x_1)$, the value y along the straight line is given from the equation", null, "$\\frac{y - y_0}{x - x_0} = \\frac{y_1 - y_0}{x_1 - x_0}$\n\nwhich can be derived geometrically from the figure on the right.

Outside this interval, the formula is identical to linear extrapolation.\n\nThis formula can also be understood as a weighted average.

Thus, the weights are", null, "${\\textstyle \\frac{x-x_0}{x_1-x_0}}$ and", null, "${\\textstyle \\frac{x_1-x}{x_1-x_0}}$, which are normalized distances between the unknown point and each of the end points. Because these sum to 1,", null, "$y = y_0 * (1-\\frac{x - x_0}{x_1-x_0}) + y_1 * (1-\\frac{x_1 - x}{x_1-x_0}) = y_0 * (1-\\frac{x - x_0}{x_1-x_0}) + y_1 * (\\frac{x - x_0}{x_1-x_0})$\n\nwhich yields the formula for linear interpolation given above.\n\n## Interpolation of a data set", null, "Linear interpolation on a data set (red points) consists of pieces of linear interpolants (blue lines).\n\nLinear interpolation on a set of data points (x0, y0), (x1, y1), ..., (xn, yn) is defined as the concatenation of linear interpolants between each pair of data points. This results in a continuous curve, with a discontinuous derivative (in general), thus of differentiability class", null, "$C^0$.\n\n## Linear interpolation as approximation\n\nLinear interpolation is often used to approximate a value of some function f using two known values of that function at other points. The error of this approximation is defined as", null, "$R_T = f(x) - p(x) \\,\\!$\n\nwhere p denotes the linear interpolation polynomial defined above", null, "$p(x) = f(x_0) + \\frac{f(x_1)-f(x_0)}{x_1-x_0}(x-x_0). \\,\\!$\n\nIt can be proven using Rolle's theorem that if f has a continuous second derivative, the error is bounded by", null, "$|R_T| \\leq \\frac{(x_1-x_0)^2}{8} \\max_{x_0 \\leq x \\leq x_1} |f''(x)|. \\,\\!$\n\nAs you see, the approximation between two points on a given function gets worse with the second derivative of the function that is approximated. This is intuitively correct as well: the \"curvier\" the function is, the worse the approximations made with simple linear interpolation.\n\n## Applications\n\nLinear interpolation is often used to fill the gaps in a table. Suppose that one has a table listing the population of some country in 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000, and that one wanted to estimate the population in 1994. Linear interpolation is an easy way to do this.\n\nThe basic operation of linear interpolation between two values is commonly used in computer graphics. In that field's jargon it is sometimes called a lerp. The term can be used as a verb or noun for the operation. e.g. \"Bresenham's algorithm lerps incrementally between the two endpoints of the line.\"\n\nLerp operations are built into the hardware of all modern computer graphics processors. They are often used as building blocks for more complex operations: for example, a bilinear interpolation can be accomplished in three lerps. Because this operation is cheap, it's also a good way to implement accurate lookup tables with quick lookup for smooth functions without having too many table entries.\n\n## Extensions\n\n### Accuracy\n\nIf a C0 function is insufficient, for example if the process that has produced the data points is known be smoother than C0, it is common to replace linear interpolation with spline interpolation, or even polynomial interpolation in some cases.\n\n### Multivariate\n\nLinear interpolation as described here is for data points in one spatial dimension. For two spatial dimensions, the extension of linear interpolation is called bilinear interpolation, and in three dimensions, trilinear interpolation. Notice, though, that these interpolants are no longer linear functions of the spatial coordinates, rather products of linear functions; this is illustrated by the clearly non-linear example of bilinear interpolation in the figure below. Other extensions of linear interpolation can be applied to other kinds of mesh such as triangular and tetrahedral meshes, including Bézier surfaces. These may be defined as indeed higher-dimensional piecewise linear function (see second figure below).", null, "Example of bilinear interpolation on the unit square with the z-values 0, 1, 1 and 0.5 as indicated. Interpolated values in between represented by colour.", null, "A piecewise linear function in two dimensions (top) and the convex polytopes on which it is linear (bottom).\n\n## History\n\nLinear interpolation has been used since antiquity for filling the gaps in tables, often with astronomical data. It is believed that it was used by Babylonian astronomers and mathematicians in Seleucid Mesopotamia (last three centuries BC), and by the Greek astronomer and mathematician, Hipparchus (2nd century BC). A description of linear interpolation can be found in the Almagest (2nd century AD) by Ptolemy.\n\n## Programming language support\n\nMany libraries and shading languages have a 'lerp' helper-function, returning an interpolation between two inputs (v0,v1) for a parameter (t) in the closed unit interval [0,1]:\n\n// Imprecise method which does not guarantee v = v1 when t = 1,\n// due to floating-point arithmetic error.\nfloat lerp(float v0, float v1, float t) {\nreturn v0 + t*(v1-v0);\n}\n\n// Precise method which guarantees v = v1 when t = 1.\nfloat lerp(float v0, float v1, float t) {\nreturn (1-t)*v0 + t*v1;\n}\n\n\nThis function is used for alpha blending (the parameter 't' is the 'alpha value'), and the formula may be extended to blend multiple components of a vector (such as spatial x,y,z axes, or r,g,b colour components) in parallel." ]

[ "# Implementing a PLC Calibration Routine to Ensure Accurate Instrument Readings\n\n## Why Calibrate?\n\nMany applications call for a means to take accurate analog measurements. Force, pressure, electrical current, lengths, positions and other analog values that are measured must be done so with a degree of accuracy. Factory and lab personnel use calibration procedures to ensure that equipment is reading accurately. If the readings are not as accurate as required, a calibration procedure should allow for the implementation of a correction factor. Personnel operating the equipment can perform their jobs more readily if the measurement system can easily be checked for accuracy and calibrated. Ideally, the process would be transparent to operators who do not need to understand the details of the operating system and only need to see and understand the measurement results reported by the equipment.\n\nAn engineer designing a measurement system will generally examine the voltage or current to be provided by the measuring transducer and the “counts” that should result after the analog input card converts the electrical signal to a number. The conversion factors can be set up to convert counts to real world units such as pressure or force. These theoretical or ideal factory published numbers are suitable for specifying equipment, but when the system is set up and running, the actual readings and numbers will differ from the theoretical. Wires will add resistances that cannot be calculated in advance and temperature changes will cause variations that must be accounted for. No analog system will run exactly per “book values” and thus a calibration routine must correct for the differences.\n\n## Calibration Method\n\nThe calibration method described here can be applied to any analog measurement such as pressure, amperage, weight, length or force. Let’s consider an example where the length of an object is being measured. We will assume that a device has been built that converts the length of the object to numerical readings via the analog input. The type of instrumentation used may be a laser measuring device, an LVDT, or any device that provides an analog signal that will vary with the length of the object being measured. We will assume the following:\n\n1. The object being measured ranges from 2 to 9 inches in length and the analog device is capable of measuring over this range.\n\n2. The analog device provides a voltage signal to the analog input card. The voltage is converted to a number or “counts” by the analog card. The “count” resides in real time in a register in the PLC and the ladder logic can perform math functions using this number. For example, let’s assume that an object is being measured 2 inches in length and the count is 100, and when an object 9 inches in length is measured the count is 3900.\n\nThe nice thing about the method described here is there is no need to be concerned with the amount of voltage provided by the transducer or received by the analog input card. By utilizing the counts and then converting the counts directly to length, the voltage becomes irrelevant as long as any change in counts is linear with any corresponding change in length. This provides the advantage of not needing to be concerned with calibration or setup of the transducer and its amplifier. Too often, time is spent setting the “zero” and “span” of amplifiers and signal conditioners where a person might determine: “This object measures 2.3 inches, therefore my voltage should be 1.2 volts”. Then they proceed to set the zero and span to achieve an exact voltage for the corresponding length. By using the calibration method described here, this process is no longer necessary and the exact voltage at any given length is of no concern. Time is saved because the calibration of the amplifier’s voltage is now rolled into the software calibration of the entire system. Additionally, if someone comes along later and adjusts the zero or span, the calibration procedure described below can be run and the PLC program will compensate for the changes.\n\n## Calibration Procedure\n\nCalibration routines are often set up to simply add in a correction factor; but this “one point” method leaves room for error over a range of readings. A car speedometer that is permanently stuck at 60 mph will appear accurate if checked when the vehicle is moving at 60 mph. A better calibration method uses two points; a “low point” and a “high point” and then calculates a line that goes through both points. We will use a 2-point calibration, which requires two calibration units of specific lengths. We will call these units “calibration masters”. In our example, they can be any length within the readable linear range. Let’s assume that one is 4.2 inches long and the other is 6.8 inches long.\n\nFour values will be captured during the calibration procedure:\n\na. The actual length of the “low” calibration master (4.2 inches)\n\nb. The analog reading (counts) when the low master is\nmeasured\n\nc. The length of the “high” cali- bration master (6.8 inches)\n\nd. The analog reading (counts) when the high master is\nmeasured\n\nFrom this point forward the four values, a through d, will be used to set up the math required to covert counts to inches. We will call the resulting value “e”.\n\nThe change in length for any corresponding change in counts is calculated as follows:\n\n(c-a)/(d-b) = e\n\nThe person performing the calibration enters the lengths of the high and low calibration masters (values a and c) via the operator interface and these values are stored in PLC registers. The corresponding analog counts for the high and low calibration masters (values b and d) are captured during the calibration routine and are also stored in PLC registers.\n\nWe will use the following data registers:\n\na = “low” calibration master = Register V3000 / V3001\n\nb = low master analog reading = Register V3002 / V3003\n\nc = “high” calibration master = Register V3004 / V3005\n\nd = high master analog reading = Register V3006 / V3007\n\nThe following ladder logic will calculate “e” and store this value in V3010/V3011. Data register V3014 is used to store temporary math results while the accumulator is in use performing other math. See Figure 1", null, "## Length Conversion\n\nAfter the calibration routine has been run and the values a through e are stored in the PLC, the formula for converting counts to length is:\n\n((counts – b) x e) + a\n\nThe following ladder logic will calculate the length from the counts and store the resulting length in V3012/V3013. The analog reading from the device being measured is stored in register V2000. See Figure 2", null, "Some of the advantages of this calibration procedure are:\n\nBecause the user chooses the calibration points, calibration masters can be at any length. Calibration masters no longer need to be made to a specified predetermined length.\n\nIf a specific range is the most critical, the calibration can be done at that specific range. In the example above, if the most critical readings are between 3.5 and 4.2 inches of length, the calibration masters can be approximately 3.5 and 4.2 inches. In this way, calculating the straight line over the critical range minimizes any non-linearity in the system and provides the most accurate readings in the critical range.\n\nBy displaying the actual calculated length and the analog counts on the operator interface, anyone who desires can follow along with the PLC and observe the math in action. This makes the system’s internal workings clear to anyone using the equipment.\n\nBy Gary Multer,\nMulteX Automation\n\nOriginally Published: Sept. 1, 2004" ]

These points are chosen in an optimal—or close to optimal—manner relying on recent developments in the problem of numerical integration over spheres. The method allows us to compute a series of models at short time intervals, namely 10 days in the present study. At each of these close dates several models are computed from independent sets of data; their redundancy in turn provides a control of results thanks to which the selection of data—for example, as a function of magnetic activity or latitude—may be reduced. We find that the internal low degree Gauss coefficients derived from Oersted and Champ data, respectively, differ from one another by 1 or 2 nT. We then take as a second example of the method application a brief study of the so-called external field. We compare the first-degree axisymmetric field with the Dst index.\n\n## 1. Introduction\n\nThe problem of computing a model of magnetic field that first fits ground observations, then satellite observations (since the years 1960) goes back to Gauss in the 1830s. The most recent models using Oersted and Champ data rely on a least squares technique providing the spherical harmonic coefficients, and some of these solve the Euler angles of the sensor attitude at the same time (Olsen et al., 2006). There is probably no need to abandon spherical harmonic expansion, which is so practical for all applications of the models. Nevertheless, even when keeping to this classical method, different options exist. We will describe and use one of these, the choice of which is guided by a few considerations.\n\nFirst, it is desirable to retain as much data as possible from high (>55°) latitude regions, despite the large disturbances which are present in those regions. Second, the key issue in spherical harmonic expansion modeling, i.e. the computation of Gauss coefficients, both internal and external, is the geographical distribution of data; integral orthogonality properties of the harmonics over the data points must be strongly adhered to, not loosely. Third, we call for a flexible algorithm, using the minimum but sufficient number of data points to compute the internal and external fields, at short time intervals, for night hours or day hours, different universal times, and different conditions of activity, etc.\n\nExcellent models have been computed by different teams according to their own methods: using data from Pogo, Magsat, Oersted and Champ satellites as well as from ground magnetic observatories (Sabaka et al., 2002) and Sabaka et al. (2004) have constructed comprehensive models covering the time interval (1960-2002). Maps of the internal field (core + crustal) and the external field (ionospheric and magnetospheric) are made available with a short time sampling. Other teams have produced models of the different ingredients of the geomagnetic field from satellite data covering the time interval (2000, 2005) (Maus et al., 2006; Olsen et al., 2006).\n\nWe present the general features of our method in the main text reserving more mathematical considerations for Appendix. Its efficiency will be demonstrated in the following sections.\n\n## 2. The Model\n\n### 2.1 Optimal arrays of points\n\nLet us consider a sphere S of unit radius. An optimal array—in the sense to be defined below—of N points on S is made of the points whose colatitude θ k and longitude ϕ k , k = 1,… N, are given by the formulae below", null, "A subroutine computes the longitudes ϕ k and colatitudes θ k of the optimal array, N being given (Appendix). In this paper, we will take N = 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 10000.\n\nLet the surface harmonic functions", null, "be ranked in the usual lexicographic order, and u j be the corresponding jth harmonic, internal or external (see Eq. (2)), in the corresponding series. The gradients u i , U j are orthogonal on the set of N points Q l , l = 1,… N. (see Appendix)", null, "((1))\n\nwith C i being the corresponding norm of u i .\n\n### 2.2 Array of points close to an optimal array\n\nLet us compute, as an example, a model based on night values of a given period of time. We first retain all measurement points P k satisfying this local time condition. Let E (Pk) = E (P k (r,θ,ϕ)) be this set of points. We pick up in E (P k ) the point P i which is the closest to the point Q i of a given optimal array, in the sense that the angle P i OQ i (O being the sphere center) is the smallest (Fig. 1). The number N of points P i , equal to the number of points Q i of the optimal array, is much smaller than the number of points P k . After this operation is made for each point Q i , we are left with an N array close to the optimal: E N (P i (r i ,θ i , ϕ i )). Now, let the geomagnetic potential to be computed be written in the usual form:", null, "((2))\n\nwith", null, ", and K[ext] being the degrees of the internal and external expansions.\n\nLet B⃗(P l ) = (X(P l ), Y(P l ), Z(P l )) be the vectorial measurement of B⃗ at P l ε E N (P). We want to compute the Gauss coefficients g and γ such that", null, "((3))\n\nis minimal.\n\nV contains K[tot] = K[int](K[int] + 2) + K[ext] (K[ext] + 2) unknown coefficients, and there are 3N equations (3). In this paper we will address the core field and, briefly, a component of the so-called external field, with K[int] = 165, and K[ext] = 2. For such values, N = 1000 already provides a largely overdetermined set of equations. The system (3) will be solved by the usual least squares technique, and the inversion of the resulting normal matrix by the Singular Value Decomposition algorithm. When computing this matrix, the following approximations of scalar products in Eq. (1) appear:", null, "with, for example,", null, "which allows for computing the following angles between the K[tot] column vectors of the matrix:", null, "Looking at the values of β ij is key to the method. Indeed, u j vectors are not expected to be strictly orthogonal on the {P i } array: their projections on the sphere (r = a) are not located exactly at points of the optimal array and, furthermore, radii of P i points may vary within 200 kilometers (see next paragraph).\n\nRemark We could correct B⃗(P i ) for the difference B⃗(P i )-B⃗(Q i ) using an a priori model. However, here we prefer to present a self-contained algorithm.\n\n### 2.3 A synthetic example\n\nFirst, we pick up a model {g j , γ j } from the literature (Langlais et al., 2003; K[int] = 16, K[ext] = 2 ) and compute the values X, Y, Z of the model field at M points which are “real” points in the sense that there are points of the orbits of Champ where real measurements were made (specifically the data points corresponding to 130 days centered at 2003.0). We select N points P l from the whole set, the one closest to an optimal array of 1000 or 3000 points {Q l }, as explained in Fig. 1, and compute back the Gauss coefficients {g j , γ j }. The differences between the initial Gauss coefficients and the recovered ones, g j and γ k , j = 1,… 288 k = 1,… 8, for N = 1000 and N = 3000, are of the order of 10-5 nT.\n\nLet us take the opportunity with this synthetic example— but with real orbit points—to be more specific about the orthogonality of u j vectors, taking the case N = 1000 (1000 points in array {Q l }). For K[int] = 16 and K[ext] = 2, we find that 99% of couples u i , u j vectors make angles", null, "with ε < 0.01 radian. The value of ε does not change much with the degree: from 0.005 for the low harmonic couples to 0.03 for the high harmonics. Simulations show that for such values of the departure ε from orthogonality, the coefficients g j and γ j can be recovered independently of one another with the required accuracy. Such will be the case for all the computations in the paper.\n\n### 2.4 The time sampling of the modeling\n\nA huge advantage of satellite data is their high density (108 per year!), which allows for a massive number of computations which could not be dreamed of in the pre-satellite times; this density makes it possible to split the data set into many subsets for various applications. In particular, it is possible to compute models at a succession of close time moments; in this paper, we will compute a model every 10 days, at times t k = t0 + k × 10 days. Nevertheless, those models are not genuine instantaneous models at t k . Indeed, to get a uniform enough distribution of local times when computing a model of the main field Eq. (2), it is necessary to consider data spanning a time interval τ around t k ;the duration τ is different for Champ and Oersted. So, our model at time t k is a model computed from data in a time interval of length τ centered on t k . But we keep g(t), h(t) (with a daily sampling) in the following temporal series, and not the decimated series with a sampling of τ days (τ = 130 in case of Champ; see below); a surprising amount of information on short term (τ) features is preserved in the process of computing the model from data in a window of length τ (e.g., Blanter et al., 2005).\n\n### 2.5 The choice of data amount\n\nWe have addressed the question of the number N of data points required to compute a model (an expansion) to degree d with an empirical point of view; indeed, not only the distribution of data points, but also the noise intervene in a broad sense, on the data. We compute a large number (100) of models {g i , h j } from suitable random simulations of data; we infer a mean value m and error bar σ on each coefficient. Each random simulation at N points is obtained by biasing the initial vector field (calculated from a 16-degree model) by a Gaussian random vector whose distribution parameters were estimated at each point using real data records. And we repeated those computations varying N from 700 to 6000 in 25 steps. For the large majority of coefficients, m is approximately stabilized at N = 2400 (Fig. 2). The value of σ decreases from 0.75 nT for N = 700 to 0.2–0.4 nT (depending on the coefficient) for N = 2400 and keeps decreasing slowly thereafter. From these results we retained N = 2400 in most of the computations of the present paper, for models of degree 16.\n\n### 2.6 Selecting the data as a function of magnetic activity We now switch to real data.\n\nIn most studies, measurements are selected according to the magnetic situation at the time of the measurement, as characterized by the value of the planetary Kp index. We made a series of experiments to evaluate the influence of magnetic activity on our modeling. We take advantage of redundant observations. Let us first retain all of the data, without any selection, versus magnetic activity. For each date t k (multiple of 10 days) we build a number of quasi-optimal arrays {P i } close to the same optimal array {Q i } (with, in general, N = 2400), from different disjoint sets of data; we then compute as many coefficient sets or models. Some of these appear to be perturbed by big magnetic storms; but it is always possible to find some which are not. The trend of the representative curves allows us to easily discard perturbed values due to the tightness of time sampling. Figure 3(a) has been chosen to illustrate the situation; it represents the evolution of the g 11 estimate. Crosses are for estimates computed from 130 days of Champ measurements without any selection in the function of magnetic activity. A segment of the curve, in the second half of 2002, is shifted 12 nT below the general trend. And a blank is observed in the first months of 2004. Both segments (S. Maus, personal communication) are characterized by a relatively low number of usable measurement points, which makes it harder to find points close to optimal data sets in the 130 days of data, especially if high magnetic activity is present during those intervals; in this situation, steps in (g, h) estimate may occur. In fact, due to the abundance of data, it is always possible—except in the case of long gaps—to find close to optimal subsets from which g, h estimates fill the gaps of the graphs of Fig. 3, and are on the general trend. Those conclusions hold for all low degree coefficients of the main field. We kept those gaps here for illustration. Nevertheless, it would be awkward not to take advantage of the large redundancy of data to avoid computations from data corresponding to high activity, e.g., a m > 20 nT (Mayaud, 1980). An extra verification is easily obtained by changing the threshold for a m . Coefficients computed with this condition are represented by dots in Fig. 3 together with those estimated without selection. Along the same lines, we keep the vectorial measurements in high latitudes (as Maus et al , 2006).\n\n## 3. Fitting Oersted and Champ Data\n\n### 3.1 The data\n\nWe use Champ data provided by the German team in the form of a list t, X(t), Y(t), Z(t), r⃗(t), r⃗(t) being the current point and τ being the time of the measurement on the orbit, counted in seconds from June 2001 to December 2004, and Oersted data provided by the Danish team in the same form, τ being then a multiple of 1.3 sec (see Stolle et al., 2006), running from March 1999 to June 2003. Note that these data are transformed data. To obtain geocentric components X, Y, Z, Euler angles of the sensor attitude have been determined by the teams in charge. We do not discuss this determination.\n\n### 3.2 Fitting the data\n\nA first opportunity to check the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm is to look at how coefficients issued from Oersted and Champ fit together, paying special attention to the overlapping period (June 2001–June 2003). We treat the data from both satellites exactly the same way, except for the time span τ required to build a model from data reasonably uniformly distributed in local time; indeed, 130 days are required in the case of Champ, while 2 years are needed in the case of Oersted to get the same performance; actually we use a 90-day time span for Oersted to the cost of a less strict condition on the uniformity of local time distribution.\n\nResults are illustrated, for a few Gauss coefficients in Fig. 4. Let us look, for example, at h 11 (Fig. 4(b)); at each time t k there are eight estimates for Champ, five for Oersted. We will systematically use this control in all our computations. Clearly, h 11 values derived from Oersted and Champ agree within 2 nT most of the time, without any further averaging. Other examples are for h 35 and h 45 (mind the enlarged scale). the mean values from Oersted and Champ coincide within a nT. In the computations of this section, we retained data subsets built in such a way that local times are reasonably uniformly distributed. The agreement between Oersted- and Champ-derived coefficients is pretty good but not perfect. There is a physical limitation to this agreement. the ionospheric field is not sampled in exactly the same way by the two satellites. Resulting departures are small and quite variable with the coefficient. For example, for coefficient g 01 , a tiny drift of Oersted estimates with respect to Champ ones is observed Fig. 4(a) (the differences remaining smaller than 2 nT).\n\nWe also computed the dipole moment and the angle between the geographical axis and the dipole axis over the 1999–2004 time span (Fig. 5(a)). Except for some trouble at the beginning of Oersted life, the linear decreasing trend appears almost perfect.\n\n## 4. Internal and External Field\n\nThe satellite sees as a field of internal origin the sum of the main field generated by the dynamo, the lithospheric field, and the field generated by electric currents flowing in the ionosphere below the perigee of the satellite, especially according to the classical views, in the E layer at 110 km altitude (Ratcliffe, 1972). The satellites also encounter electric currents since they are flying in the upper part of the F layer. In particular, the fields associated with field-aligned electric currents in the polar regions can be large. But, as discussed in Section 2.6, despite their large magnitude, they do not severely affect the aimed modeling (the computation of internal low ( 13) degree Gauss coefficients from data covering a given time interval). So, we may reasonably assume that the essential part of the field which is external to the solid Earth but internal to the satellites orbits is generated by currents in the E layer, i.e., currents driven by the atmospheric dynamo and currents driven in high latitude regions by forces originating high in the ionosphere (the polar current system) (Ratcliffe, 1972; Encrenaz et al., 2004).\n\nTo obtain a model of the main field, we have to get rid of this ionospheric field. As is well known, this is not an easy task (Olsen, 1996; Thomson, 2000). It is nevertheless possible to estimate the magnitude of the ionospheric contribution to the internal Gauss coefficients. We will not develop this question at length in the present paper. A classical method is to select data on the basis of local time, e.g., all local times, only day times or only night times (e.g., 6:00–18:00 or 18:00–6:00 LT). Our results will be illustrated by a few graphs. Figure 6(a) shows estimates of g 01 , over a time span of 4 years, derived from Champ data, computed respectively from data at all local times, day times, and night times. The difference between night time estimates and the all times estimates is almost everywhere smaller than 3 nT (2 nT in the second half of 2004). Results for g 22 are shown in Fig. 6(b) (mind the scale). Generally, the amplitudes of the differences between the different estimates as well as their evolution in time depend on the considered coefficient in a way which is not straightforward to understand. For all of the coefficients, differences between different estimates do not exceed 2 or 3 nT. A last graph Fig. 7 shows two estimates of g 01 using all local times; for the first one, no selection is made in the function of activity; for the second one, only measurements corresponding to a m 20 nT are retained. A significant difference of 2 nT shows up, but the trend is the same.\n\n### 4.1 The internal field\n\nTo obtain the main (dynamo) field model, we first take the average of models of the internal field (sources within the sphere r = rperigee) computing on all the universal times (practically at 0:00 UT, 1:00 UT to 23:00 UT). That comes down to compute a model I from points uniformly distributed in longitude; to check it we choose points Q i (see Section 2.1) whose measurements correspond to local times drawn randomly in the interval 0:00 LT–24:00 LT and compute a model II derived from this set of points. Figure 8(c) shows that the two models are indeed identical. Of course, adopting such a model for the main field means that the 24-h averaged ionospheric field is supposed to be zero—when averaged over a full day. It is such a model that we compute at days t k = t0 + k × 10 days, from data in a 130-day time span τ centered on t k .\n\nWe compare our two models, relative to 2003.0, with the POMME-3 model (Maus et al., 2006) relative to the same epoch, in two ways. First, we compare the coefficients of our models and those of the POMME-3 model by computing their differences as well as the mean and standard deviation of these differences (Fig. 8(a) and 8(b)). Except for g 01 andg 03 , the models can be said to be very similar. Our computation of the main field supposes we eliminate the ionospheric field by averaging in longitude, i.e. that this latter field has no zonal component, or, for approximate symmetry reasons, no component g 02k+1 . Choosing only night values leads to slightly different estimates (Fig. 6(a)). We then draw the maps of the vertical components of models I and POMME-3 at the core-mantle boundary (CMB) more precisely on a sphere of radius 3480 km. We also map their differences (Fig. 9). We note that, despite the smallness of difference in coefficients illustrated by Fig. 8, a few small scale anomalies may reach a notable amplitude. The geometrical factor", null, "is indeed equal to 4500; the downward continuation to the CMB of a core field contaminated by crustal anomalies is known to require some precautions. As expected, the largest discrepancies are observed in high lattitudes, due to field aligned currents.\n\n### 4.2 The external (ring current) field\n\nWe keep here a rather formal point of view, without addressing the physical nature of the field. This is the way the question has been treated for decades—the external field was globally called the ring current field up to recent modelings of satellite data (Olsen et al., 2000). Only external field coefficients of the first degree were considered to be safely determined. So we compute, with the same sampling interval (every 10 days), from the same sets of data, coefficients (we note them γ, ν for simplicity, γ for the cosine and ν for sine term) of the external field, i.e., external to the sphere containing the satellites’ orbits (r > rapogee max). It is useful to recall again that we are not computing an instantaneous field, but, at day t k ,a field based on a data set extracted from 130 days of data centered at t k (for Champ). For each data set we check that the orthogonality conditions required in Section 2 are verified: the VM[ext] are orthogonal, with a high accuracy, to one another, and orthogonal to all the VM[int] (Section 3). There is no contamination of the external coefficients by the internal ones, i.e., no contamination of the external field by the internal field. The results depend on what is being looked for. For example, y° value is much larger when computed only from night (18:00-06:00 LT) values than when computed from day (06:00–18:00) values. This asymmetry was pointed out as early as in 1970 by Olson (1970).\n\nWe retain all the local times—which comes down to averaging in longitude—and focus on the axisymmetric coefficients γ 0 k . The graph of Fig. 10 represents the variation from April 1999 to December 2004 of γ 01 . Data from both satellites, Champ and Oersted, are used. Again, the fitofthe models derived from the two data sets is excellent, within 1 or 2 nT. γ 01 displays variations with time constants of a few months and amplitudes of some 15 nT. At the bottom of Fig. 10 the evolution of Dst index is presented, averaged over a running window of 90 days to make the two graphs comparable (such a comparison is not a new idea (e.g. Cain et al., 1967). Let us recall that Dst (Sugiura, 1964) is “the disturbance field which is axially symmetric with respect to the dipole axis, and which is regarded as a function of storm time”. The correlation between Dst and γ 01 is good up to the end of 2002; amplitudes of γ 01 variations are smaller. An interesting observation concerns the base level; it is zero by construction for Dst index, while γ 01 evolves between 15 and 40 nT.\n\nMaus and Lühr recently performed a study of the mag-netospheric field during magnetically quet times (Maus and Luhr, 2005) using Oersted and Champ data from the years 1999–2004. The field is decomposed into contributions from sources in the solar-magnetic frame, and those in the geocentric-solar-magnetospheric frame. Such a separation is probably necessary for a coherent study of the external field. We pointed out at the beginning of this section the limited scope of our study of the “external field“.\n\n## 5. Conclusion\n\nThe general objective of the analysis we presented here is to model different ingredients of the field altogether. The method reported here is the realization. This paper also has also a methodological character; we computed Gauss coefficients of the main (dynamo) field, and computed coefficients of the so-called ring current field. The characteristics of the analysis are the following. To compute a given model of the main field, for example, it is possible to use for each τ-interval centered on day τ a number of disjoint data sets, each including a rather small (1000, 2400) number of points. In this way, spurious values of coefficient estimates are made conspicuous; this provides a control of the model (g, h) which allows us to release data selection. An advantage of a close time-spacing of the model is to provide time series whose trends can be studied in the usual way.\n\n## References\n\n1. Blanter, E., M. Shnirman, and J. L.

The Numerical Integration Over Spheres\n\n### Appendix A. The Numerical Integration Over Spheres\n\nThe question of distributing uniformly N points on a surface—we consider here the case of a sphere—is by no means a trivial one; it has been of interest to mathematicians since Antiquity, and is still the object of research (Hardin and Saff, 2004).\n\nWe want an algorithm which distributes a set of N points on a sphere in such a way that the distribution of these points converges to an uniform distribution when N gets large. But uniformity makes sense only for infinite sets. For N finite, we look for a configuration which is optimal with respect to some property, but which may be poor with respect to another property.\n\nFor example, we may want to approximate the integral of a function over the sphere S2 by an arithmetic sum (without weights) of values ƒ (⃗k) at some N well-chosen points ⃗k on S2, in other words we want the difference", null, "((A.1))\n\nto be small for a large class of functions. Such a configuration of points will be called optimal for the evaluation of the integral. The problem has not yet received a general precise solution, but explicit particular solutions have been found. For example Delsarte et al (1977) considered so-called {N, t} spherical designs: configurations of N points ⃗k such that for all polynomials Pm(⃗) (i.e., polynomials in three variables (x, y, z) = r⃗) of degree m t, the difference in Eq. (A.1) is equal to zero. By means of a computer search, Hardin and Sloane (1996) found spherical designs for all t 13 with a minimal number of points; for instance, they produced a (94, 13)-design. A variety of algorithms have also been proposed for explicitly constructing asymptotically uniform distributions of points on S2. The most recent approach is to look for configurations corresponding to the minimum potential energy of N repelling points (repelling force needs to be redefined). The problem with the minimum energy configurations algorithm is that it is long and cumbersome. That is why we consider in this paper much more straightforward “spiral sets” which are almost as good as the “polynomial adapted” or “energy sets” refered to above. They are also good with respect to the property of orthogonality of spherical harmonics; this essential property will be simply checked.\n\nLet us now describe the spiral set devised by Rakhmanov, Saff, and Zhou (Rakhmanov et al., 1994), used in the present study. In spherical coordinates (θ,ϕ), 0 θ π, 0 ϕ 2π 0 ≤ϕ ≤2π, we take the following coordinates of the N points as:", null, "((A.2))\n\nThe estimate of the maximum diameter of N nonoverlapping disks on the spherical surface (the so-called “best packing argument” (Habicht and van der Waerden, 1951)) suggests the constant in Eq. (A.2) to be chosen such that", null, "The following version of the latter construction with a good choice of the constant is easy to remember: we first generate N points (x, y) belonging to the unit square 0 x, y 1 and then use the cylindrical equal-area projection (i.e., θ = arcsin(2y - 1), ϕ = 2πx) onto the spherical surface. The generation of the initial sequence in the square is also simple: xk = {(k - 1)sfϕ} (here braces denote the non-integer part of the real value) and γk = (k - N - 1). The good value of the constant in Eq. (A.2) corresponds to", null, "(the reciprocal of the so-called “golden number”). This spiral set is illustrated in the main text for N = 1000 and N = 3000 (Fig. 1).\n\nLet the surface harmonic functions Pmn (cos θ) cos , Pmn (cos θ) sin be ranked in the usual lexicographic order, let uj be the jth surface harmonic in the corresponding series. Their gradients ui, uj are orthogonal to one another on the set of N points r⃗l, l = 1,… N:", null, "((A.3))\n\nThis ensures that computing Gauss coefficients g mn , h mn in the main text through non-weighted averages taken on the points r⃗l of the spiral set (Ql in the main text) is valid. To keep a practical point of view we checked that this orthogonality property is satisfied with a sufficient accuracy for our needs in the present study (see main text).\n\nAs we do not know of any other algorithm as simple to operate as this spiral set one, while producing better results for the problem at hand, we did not extend the analysis to other constructions.\n\n## Rights and permissions\n\nReprints and Permissions\n\nLe Mouël, J.L., Shebalin, P. & Khokhlov, A.

Integer division (result without fractional part) of dividend by modulus: 12/13 / 49 = 0\n2. Multiplication of the result right above (0) by the divisor (49): 0 × 49 = 0\n3. Subtraction of the result right above (0) from the dividend (12/13): 12/13 – 0 = 0.(923076).\n\nCalculation examples similar to the modulo division 12/13%49, but more detailed, can be found in our article in the header menu.\n\nOther operations belonging to the modulo 49 division category include, for example:\n\nNote that you can locate all of our calculations, including 12/13 modulus 49, quickly, by filling in the search box placed in the header and sidebar; the result page contains all relevant posts.\n\nAhead is the summary of our information.\n\n## Remainder of 12/13 Divided by 49\n\nYou have reached the final section of this post, and you should be able to answer questions like what is 12/13 mod 49?, compute is value, and name its part.\n\nHowever, if you are in doubt about something related to the quotient and remainder of 12/13 by 49, or if you like to leave feedback, then simply use the comment form at the bottom of this article.\n\nAlternatively, send us an email with a meaningful title such as 12/13 modulus 49 division.\n\nEither way you let us know your question, we will get back to you as soon as possible.\n\nIn conclusion:\n\nIf our 12/13 remainder 49 math has been of help to you, hit the sharing buttons and place a bookmark in your browser.\n\nWe recommend to you installing our absolutely free PWA app (see menu or sidebar).\n\nThanks for visiting our post about 12/13 modulo 49.\n\nSubmitting..." ]

Basically, SPSS excludes one of my variables because it claims that the variable is constant, but I just don't believe it!\n\nI've got four variables that I'm concerned with, all are binary:\n\nisSpeaking: 0 = No, 1 = Yes\nisNodding: 0 = No, 1 = Yes\nTaskRole: 0 = Instructor, 1 = Learner\nRecipientRole: 0 = Secondary, 1 = Primary.\n\nEach data point is a time point per person. isSpeaking and RecipientRole are exclusive, by that I mean if isSpeaking is 1, then there will be no data for RecipientRole (as a person can't be a speaker and a recipient at the same time here). If isSpeaking is 0, then there should be a value for RecipientRole. So a person may be speaking, nodding, a learner and no entry for recipient role.\n\nWhen I perform a correlation analysis there is an interaction between isNodding and isSpeaking (and lots of other interactions):", null, "isSpeaking is constant w.r.t. RecipientRole as expected.\n\nHowever, when I try to predict isNodding (in a binary logistic regression), the isSpeaking variable is excluded all together (see point b):", null, "However, it's just not constant for the selected cases! It's constant w.r.t to RecipientRole in that whenever there is a value in the RecipientRole variable there is a 0 in isSpeaking.. but surely this just means there's no interaction between them?\n\nAm I missing something with how a regression works here?\n\nThanks,\n\nRegards\nStuart\n\n#### blastStu\n\n##### New Member\nOK. I have part of the answer now. I didn't realise that if there is a missing value for a variable then SPSS excludes that entire case. In my situation the isSpeaking and RecipientRoles variables are such that, if isSpeaking is 0, then RecipientRole will be 1 or 0. If isSpeaking is 1, then there will be no value for Recipient Role.\n\nAs this is the case, SPSS is excluding all cases where isSpeaking = 1, and hence isSpeaking is always a constant 0.\n\nIs there a way to force SPSS to analyse all the data, even when there's a missing value in a datapoint?\n\nThanks,\nS\n\n#### Mean Joe\n\n##### TS Contributor\nI'm not much help since I don't know SPSS.\n\nBut is there a command to tell SPSS to analyze subjects \"where isSpeaking=0\"? Or can you make a subset, where isSpeaking=0, and then analyze that subset? Or just drop the isSpeaking variable from your analysis?" ]

The first robot also has its own Instructable which can be found here: https://www.instructables.com/id/James-Your-first-Arduino-Robot/\nThe video shows the construction process however it is in fast motion and I will cover some of the more complicated things here more in depth.\n\nSo to make ben you will need the following components:\n·         A small sheet of acrylic\n·         An Arduino Nano\n·         Two Continuous Rotation Servos\n·         Two hobby wheels (I used model aeroplane wheels)\n·         A castor wheel\n·         9V battery\n·         4.8V rechargeable battery pack (or just 4 AA’s in a battery case)\n·         Two Light Dependant Resistors\n·         Two 10,000 ohm Resistors\n·         Double Sided Foam Tape\n·         A Power Switch (not necessary but would be handy)\n\nYou won’t need any tools for the construction however you could replace the Double Sided Foam Tape with Hot Glue in which case you would need a Hot Glue Gun.\n\nNow the first thing that may need further explanation is the use of the Light Dependant Resistors. Light Dependant Resistors (or LDR’s) are resistors whose value changes depending on the amount of ambient light, but how can we detect resistance with Arduino? Well you can’t really, however you can detect voltage levels using the analog pins, which can measure (in basic use) between 0-5V. Now you may be asking “Well how do we convert resistance values into voltage changes?”, it’s simple, we make a voltage divider. A voltage divider takes in a voltage and then outputs a fraction of that voltage proportional to the input voltage and the ratio of the two values of resistors used. The equation for which is:\nOutput Voltage = Input Voltage * ( R2 / (R1 + R2) )\nWhere R1 is the value of the first resistor and R2 is the value of the second.\n\nThe circuit schematic for which looks like this\nA diagram of this in our situation looks a little something like this\n\nNow this still begs the question “But what resistance values does the LDR have?”, good question. The less amount of ambient light the higher the resistance, more ambient light means a lower resistance. Now for the particular LDR’s I used their resistance range was from 200 – 10 kilo ohms, but this changes for different ones so make sure to look up where you bought them from and try to find a datasheet or something of the sort.\n\nNow in this case R1 is actually our LDR, so let’s bring back that equation and do some math-e-magic (mathematical electrical magic).\n\nNow first we need to convert those kilo ohm values into ohms:\n200 kilo-ohms = 200,000 ohms\n10 kilo-ohms = 10,000 ohms\nSo to find what the output voltage is when we are in pitch black we plug in the following numbers:\n5 * ( 10000 / (200000 + 10000) )\nThe input is 5V as that is what we are getting from the Arduino.\nThe above gives 0.24V (rounded off).\nNow we find what the output voltage is in peak brightness by using the following numbers:\n5 * ( 10000 / (10000 + 10000) )\nAnd this gives us 2.5V exactly.\n\nSo these are the voltage values that we are going to get into the Arduino’s analog pins, but these are not the values that will be seen in the program, “But why?” you may ask. The Arduino uses an Analog to Digital Chip which converts the analog voltage into usable digital data. Unlike the digital pins on the Arduino that can only read a HIGH or LOW state being 0 and 5V the analog pins can read from 0-5V and convert this into a number range of 0-1023.\n\nNow with some more math-e-magic we can actually calculate what values the Arduino will actually read. Because this will be a linear function we can use the following formula:\nY = mX + C\nWhere; Y = Digital Value\nWhere; m = slope, (rise / run), (digital value / analog value)\nWhere; C = Y intercept\nThe Y intercept is 0 so that gives us:\nY = mX\nm = 1023 / 5 = 204.6\nTherefore:\nDigital value = 204.6 * Analog value\n\nSo in pitch black the digital value will be:\n204.6 * 0.24\nWhich gives approximately 49.\n\nAnd in peak brightness it will be:\n204.6 * 2.5\nWhich gives approximately 511.\n\nNow with two of these set up on two analog pins we can create two integer variables to store their values two and do comparison operators to see which one has the lowest value, turning the robot in that direction.\n____________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nNow that was probably the most complex thing about the whole robot build however there is just one more thing that I would like to mention and it’s to do with using servos with Arduino.\n\nThere are several tutorials and diagrams on the internet showing that you must connect the voltage in of the servo up to the 5V rail of the Arduino and the ground of the servo to the ground of the Arduino, this is dangerous! Servos can draw a lot of current, and in most cases that current draw will be more than the voltage regulator on the Arduino can supply, this will lead to bad things happening. The proper way to hook servos to your Arduino is to use an external power supply. In Bens cause I am running the continuous rotation servos of a 4.8V rechargeable Ni-Cd battery pack, this is ideal as the servos operate well from 4.8-6V, 6V being the peak charge voltage of the battery pack.\n\nNow you may be tempted to just hook up V+ of the battery to the V+ of the servos and the GND of the battery pack to the GND of servos and the signal pins to the Arduino, this won’t work either! You need to remember that electricity needs to flow from one ‘point’ back to its original point, not connecting the ground of the servos and battery pack to the Arduino’s ground won’t allow the electricity to flow from the signal pins.\n\nHere is a diagram showing the proper circuitry\n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nCombining the two diagrams shown earlier gives the complete circuitry required to make Ben.\nNow I won’t explain the code as it is heavily commented and should pretty much explain itself.\nCode", null, "Participated in the\nToy Contest", null, "Participated in the\nKit Contest", null, "Participated in the\nArduino Contest\n\n## Recommendations\n\nArduino: 1.6.7 (Windows 10), Board: \"Arduino Nano, ATmega168\"\n\nBuild options changed, rebuilding all\nMultiple libraries were found for \"Servo.h\"\nUsed: C:\\Users\\Shane\\Documents\\Arduino\\libraries\\Servo\nNot used: D:\\Shane\\Arduino\\libraries\\Servo\n\nSketch uses 2,552 bytes (17%) of program storage space.

[ "# Chapter 11", null, "Chapter 11 The Cost of Capital Learning Objectives 1. Understand the different kinds of financing available to a company: debt financing, equity financing, and hybrid equity financing. 2. Understand the debt and equity components of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and explain the tax implications on debt financing and the adjustment to the WACC. 3. Calculate the weights of the components using book values or market values. 4. Explain how the WACC is used in capital budgeting models 5. Determine the beta of a project and its implications in capital budgeting problems. 6. Select optimal project combinations for a companys portfolio of acceptable potential projects.\n\n11-2 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.1 The Cost of Capital: A Starting Point 3 broad sources of financing available or raising capital: debt, common stock (equity), and preferred stock (hybrid equity). Each has its own risk and return profile and therefore its own rate of return required by investors to provide funds to the firm. Figure 11.1 Component sources of capital. 11-3 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.\n\n11.1 The Cost of Capital: A Starting Point The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is estimated by multiplying each component weight by the component cost and summing up the products. The WACC is essentially the minimum acceptable rate of return that the firm should earn on its investments of average risk, in order to be profitable. WACC discount rate for computing NPV IRR > WACC for acceptance of project. 11-4 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.1 The Cost of Capital: A Starting Point (continued) Example 1: Measuring weighted average cost of a mortgage\n\nJim wants to refinance his home by taking out a single mortgage and paying off all the other sub-prime and prime mortgages that he took on while the going was good. Listed below are the balances and rates owed on each of his outstanding home-equity loans and mortgages: Lender Balance First Cut-Throat Bank Rate \\$ 150,000 7.5% Second Considerate Bank \\$ 35,000 8.5% Third Pawn Mortgage Co.\n\n\\$ 15,000 9.5% Below what rate would it make sense for Jim to consolidate all these loans and refinance the whole amount? 11-5 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.1 The Cost of Capital: A Starting Point (continued) Example 1 Answer Jims weighted average cost of borrowing = Proportion of each loan * Rate (10,000/200,000)*.075+(35,000/200,000) *.085+(15,000/200,000)*.095 (.75*.075) + (.175*.085) (+.075*.095) = .07825 or 7.825%\n\nJims average cost of financing his home is 7.825%. Any rate below 7.825% would be beneficial. 11-6 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 Components of the Weighted Average Cost of Capital To determine a firms WACC we need to know how to calculate: 1. the relative weights and 2. costs of the debt, preferred stock, and common stock of a firm. 11-7 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.\n\n11.2 (A) Debt Component The cost of debt (Rd) is the rate that firms have to pay when they borrow money from banks, finance companies, and other lenders. It is essentially measured by calculating the yield to maturity (YTM) on a firms outstanding bonds, as covered in Chapter 6. Although best solved for by using a financial calculator or spreadsheet, the YTM can also be figured out as follows: 11-8 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (A) Debt Component (continued) YTM on outstanding bonds, indicates what investors require for lending the firm their\n\nmoney in current market conditions. However, new debt would also require payment of transactions costs to investment bankers reducing the net proceeds to the issuer and raising the cost of debt. We must adjust the market price by the amount of commissions that would have to be paid when issuing new debt, and then calculate the YTM. 11-9 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (A) Debt Component (continued) Example 2: Calculating the cost of debt Kelloggs wants to raise an additional \\$3,000,000 of debt as part of the capital that would be needed to expand their operations into the Morning Foods sector.\n\nThey were informed by their investment banking consultant that they would have to pay a commission of 3.5% of the selling price on new issues. Their CFO is in the process of estimating the corporations cost of debt for inclusion into the WACC equation. The company currently has an 8%, AA-rated, non-callable bond issue outstanding, which pays interest semi-annually, will mature in 17 years, has a \\$1000 face value, and is currently trading at \\$1075. Calculate the appropriate cost of debt for the firm. 11-10 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (A) Debt Component (continued) Example 2 Answer First determine the net proceeds on each bond\n\n= Selling price Commission =\\$1075-(.035*1075) = \\$1037.38 Using a financial calculator we enter: P/Y = C/Y = 2 Input 34 ? -1037.38 40 1000 Key N I/Y PV PMT FV Output 7.60% The appropriate cost of debt for Kelloggs is 7.6% 11-11 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (B) Preferred Stock Component Preferred stock holders receive a constant dividend with no maturity point; The cost of preferred (Rp)can be estimated by dividing the annual dividend by the net\n\nproceeds (after floatation cost) per share of preferred stock: Rp = Dp/Net price 11-12 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (B) Preferred Stock Component (continued) Example 3: Cost of Preferred Stock Kelloggs will also be issuing new preferred stock worth \\$1 million. They will pay a dividend of \\$4 per share which has a market price of \\$40. The floatation cost on preferred will amount to \\$2 per share. What is their cost of preferred stock? Answer Net price on preferred stock = \\$38; Dividend on preferred = \\$4\n\nCost of preferred = Rp = \\$4/\\$38 = 10.53% 11-13 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (C) Equity Component The cost of equity (Re) is essentially the rate of return that investors are demanding or expecting to make on money invested in a companys common stock. The cost of equity can be estimated by using either the SML approach (covered in Chapter 8) or the Dividend Growth Model (covered in Chapter 7). 11-14 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.\n\n11.2 (C) Equity Component (continued) The Security Market Line Approach: calculates the cost of equity as a function of the risk-free rate (rf) the market riskpremium [E(rm)-rf], and beta (i). That is, 11-15 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (C) Equity Component (continued) Example 4: Calculating Cost of Equity with the SML equation Remember Kelloggs from the earlier 2 examples? Well, to reach their desired capital structure their CEO has decided to utilize all of their expected retained earnings in the coming\n\nquarter. Kelloggs beta is estimated at 0.65 by Value Line. The risk-free rate is currently 4%, and the expected return on the market is 15%. How much should the CEO put down as one estimate of the companys cost of equity? Answer Re = rf + [E(rm)-rf]i Re=4%+[15%-4%]0.65 Re= 4%+7.15% = 11.15% 11-16 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (C) Equity Component (continued) The Dividend Growth Approach to Re: The Gordon Model, introduced in Chapter 7, is used to calculate the price of a constant growth stock. However, with some algebraic manipulation it can be\n\ntransformed into Equation 11.6, which calculates the cost of equity, as shown below: where Div0 = last paid dividend per share; Po = Current market price per share; and g = constant growth rate of dividend. 11-17 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (C) Equity Component (continued) For newly issued common stock, the price must be adjusted for floatation cost (commission paid to investment banker) as shown in Equation 11.7 below: where F is the floatation cost in percent.\n\n11-18 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (C) Equity Component (continued) Example 5: Applying the Dividend Growth Model to calculate Re Kelloggs common stock is trading at \\$45.57 and its dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6%. The company paid a dividend last year of \\$2.27. If the company issues stock they will have to pay a floatation cost per share equal to 5% of selling price. Calculate Kelloggs cost of equity with and without floatation costs.\n\n11-19 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (C) Equity Component (continued) Example 5 Answer Cost of equity without floatation cost: Re = (Div0*(1+g)/Po) + g (\\$2.27*(1.06)/\\$45.57)+.0611.28% Cost of equity with floatation cost: Re = [\\$2.27*(1.06)/(45.57*(1-.05)]+.06 11.56% 11-20 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (C) Equity Component (continued)\n\nDepending on the availability of data, either of the two models, or both, can be used to estimate Re. With two values, the average can be used as the cost of equity. For example, in Kelloggs case we have (11.15%+11.28%)/211.22% (without floatation costs) or (11.15%+11.56%) /211.36%(with floatation costs) 11-21 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.2 (D) Retained Earnings Retained earnings does have a cost, i.e. the opportunity cost for the shareholders not being able to invest the money themselves. The cost of retained earnings can be calculated by\n\nusing either of the above two approaches, without including floatation cost. Also, since interest expenses are tax deductible, the cost of debt, must be adjusted for taxes, as shown below, prior to including it in the WACC calculation: After-tax cost of debt = Rd*(1-Tc) So if the YTM (with floatation cost) = 7.6%, and the companys marginal tax rate is 30%, the after-tax cost of debt7.6%*(1-3)5.32% 11-22 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.3 Weighting the Components: Book Value or Market Value? To calculate the WACC of a firm, each components cost is multiplied by its proportion in the capital mix and then\n\nsummed up. There are two ways to determine the proportion or weights of each capital component, using book value, or using market values. 11-23 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.3 (A) Book Value Book value weights can be determined by taking the balance sheet values for debt, preferred stock, and common stock, adding them up, and dividing each by the total. These weights, however, do not indicate the current proportion of each component. 11-24\n\n2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.3 (B) Adjusted Weighted Average Cost of Capital Equation 11.9 can be used to combine all the weights and component costs into a single average cost which can be used as the firms discount or hurdle rate: 11-25 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.3 (B) Adjusted Weighted Average Cost of Capital (continued) Example 6: Calculating Adjusted WACC Using the market value weights and the component costs determined earlier, calculate Kelloggs adjusted WACC.\n\nCapital Component Weight After-tax Cost% Debt .38 7.6%*(1-.3) =5.32% Rd (1-Tc) Preferred Stock.14 10.53% Rp Common Stock .48 11.36%* Re *using average of SML and Div. Growth Model (with floatation cost) Answer WACC = .38*5.32% + .14*10.53%+.48*11.36% =2.02%+1.47%+5.45%=8.94% 11-26 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.3 (C) Market Value\n\nMarket value weights are determined by taking the current market prices of the firms outstanding securities and multiplying them by the number outstanding, to get the total value; and then dividing each by the total market value to get the proportion or weight of each If possible, market value weights should be used since they are a better representation of a companys current capital structure, which would be relevant for raising new capital. 11-27 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.3 (C) Market Value (continued) Example 7: Calculating capital component weights: Kelloggs CFO is in the process of determining the firms WACC and needs to figure out the weights of the various types of capital sources.\n\nAccordingly, he starts by collecting information from the balance sheet and the capital markets, and makes up the Table shown below: Component Debt Preferred Stock Common Stock Balance Sheet Value \\$ 150,000,000 \\$ 45,000,000 \\$ 180,000,000 Number outstanding 150,000 1,500,000 4,500,000\n\nWhat should he do next? 11-28 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Current Market Price \\$1,075 \\$40 \\$45.57 Market Value \\$161,250,000 \\$ 60,000,000 \\$205,065,000 11.3 (C) Market Value (continued) Example 7 Answer\n\n1) Calculate the total book value and total market value of the capital 2) Divide each components book value and market value by their respective totals. Total Book Value = \\$375,000,000; Total Market Value = \\$426,315,000 Book Value Weights: Market Value Weights: Debt = \\$150m/\\$375m=40%; Debt = \\$161.25m/\\$426.32m=38% P/ S=\\$45m/\\$375m=12%; P/S = \\$60m/\\$426.32=14% C/S = \\$180m/\\$375m=48%; C/S= \\$205.07m/\\$426.32m=48% (Rounded to nearest whole number) He should use the market value weights as they represent a more current picture of the firms capital structure. 11-29 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.\n\n11.4 Using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital in a Budgeting Decision Once a firms WACC has been determined, it can be used either as the discount rate to calculate the NPV of the projects expected cash flow or as the hurdle rate which must be exceeded by the projects IRR. Table 11.1 presents the incremental cash flow of a \\$5 million project being considered by a firm whose WACC is 12%. Table 11.1 Incremental Cash Flow of a \\$5 Million Project 11-30 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.4 Using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital in a Budgeting Decision (continued)\n\nUsing a discount rate of 12%, the projects NPV would be determined as follows: Since the NPV > 0 this would be an acceptable project. Alternatively, the IRR could be determined using a financial calculator14.85% Again, since IRR>12%, this would be an acceptable project. 11-31 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.4 (A) Individual Weighted Average Cost of Capital for Individual Projects Using the WACC for evaluating projects assumes that the project is of average risk. If projects have varying risk levels, using the same discount rate could lead to incorrect\n\ndecisions. 11-32 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.4 (A) Individual Weighted Average Cost of Capital for Individual Projects Figure 11.3 Capital project decision model without considering risk. 4 projects, whose IRRs range from 8% to 11%, but the risk levels also go from lowmoderatehighvery high With a WACC of 9.5%, only Projects 3 and 4, with IRRs of 10% and 11% respectively would be accepted. However, Projects 1 and 2 could have been profitable lower risk\n\nprojects that are being rejected in favor of higher risk projects, merely because the risk levels have not been adequately adjusted for. 11-33 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.4 (A) Individual Weighted Average Cost of Capital for Individual Projects To adjust for risk, we would need to get individual project discount rates based on each projects beta. Using a risk-free rate of 3%; a market risk premium of 9%; a before-tax cost of 10%, a tax rate of 30%; equally-weighted debt and equity levels, and varying project betas we can compute each projects hurdle rate as follows: 11-34\n\n2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11.4 (A) Individual Weighted Average Cost of Capital for Individual Projects Under the risk-adjusted approach, Project 1 (IRR=8%>7.7%) and Project 2 (IRR=9%>8.6%) should be accepted, while Project 3 (IRR=10%<10.4%) and Project 4 (IRR=11%<13.1%) should be rejected. Figure 11.4 Capital project decision model with risk. 11-35 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

However, since project betas are not easily available, it is more of an art than a science. There are two approaches generally used: 1. Pure play betas: i.e. matching the project with a company that has a similar single focus, and using that companys beta. 2. Subjective modification of the companys average beta: i.e. adjusting the beta up or down to reflect different levels of risk. 11-36 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

[ "#### Authors\n\nSung-Soo Ahn, Sejun Park, Michael Chertkov, Jinwoo Shin\n\n#### Abstract\n\nMax-product Belief Propagation (BP) is a popular message-passing algorithm for computing a Maximum-A-Posteriori (MAP) assignment over a distribution represented by a Graphical Model (GM). It has been shown that BP can solve a number of combinatorial optimization problems including minimum weight matching, shortest path, network flow and vertex cover under the following common assumption: the respective Linear Programming (LP) relaxation is tight, i.e., no integrality gap is present. However, when LP shows an integrality gap, no model has been known which can be solved systematically via sequential applications of BP. In this paper, we develop the first such algorithm, coined Blossom-BP, for solving the minimum weight matching problem over arbitrary graphs. Each step of the sequential algorithm requires applying BP over a modified graph constructed by contractions and expansions of blossoms, i.e., odd sets of vertices. Our scheme guarantees termination in O(n^2) of BP runs, where n is the number of vertices in the original graph. In essence, the Blossom-BP offers a distributed version of the celebrated Edmonds' Blossom algorithm by jumping at once over many sub-steps with a single BP. Moreover, our result provides an interpretation of the Edmonds' algorithm as a sequence of LPs." ]

[ "Energy, in physics, the capacity for doing work. It may exist in potentialkineticthermal, electrical, chemicalnuclear, or other various forms. There are, moreover, heat and work—i.e., energy in the process of transfer from one body to another. After it has been transferred, energy is always designated according to its nature. Hence, heat transferred may become thermal energy, while work done may manifest itself in the form of mechanical energy.\n\nEnergy with Wilson, science made simple through innovative videos and content that aid understanding of this GCSE content.\n\nFor other content head over to Chemistry, Biology or back to Physics\n\nIf you are looking for the videos that accompany this content then head over to the YouTube channel: Science with Wilson\n\n## Lessons\n\n### Lesson 1 – Energy stores and systems\n\nThis lesson offers an introduction to the energy topic and describes the different energy stores and types. It then goes on to explain how energy is transferred in a system and describes the changes involved in energy systems when an energy transfer takes place.\n\nClick on the resources below to accompany the lesson video.\n\n### Lesson 2 – Energy changes\n\nWe now begin to look at performing calculations around gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy as well as explaining the relationship between the two equations. This allows us to then make predictions based on those types of energy in different contexts.\n\n### Lesson 3 – Energy changes in systems & Specific heat capacity required practical\n\nThis lesson hinges around the Specific Heat Capacity AQA Required practical and explains how the specific heat capacity of a substance effects how quickly it will heat up or cool down. This allows us to then quantify this using the equation and to apply it to novel situations.\n\n### Lesson 4 – Power\n\nPower is defined as the rate at which energy is transferred or the rate at which work is done. In this lesson we will look at that in more detail and apply this using the power equation.\n\n### Lesson 5 – Energy transfers in a system & Investigating thermal insulators required practical (Physics only)\n\nThis lesson looks at how energy is transferred in a closed system and links in ideas of how a reduction of unwanted energy transfers can be achieved. The latter parts focus on thermal conductivity and identifying factors that effect the rate of such conductivity. This also includes the physics only required practical ‘investigating thermal insulators’.\n\n### Lesson 6 – Efficiency\n\nThe energy efficiency for any energy transferred can be calculated using an equation. This lesson applies the concept of efficiency to mathematical problems and solves them as decimals and percentages. For higher tier students it also looks at ways that efficiency of an intended energy transfer can be increased.\n\n### Lesson 7 – National and global energy resources\n\nThe Earth has available energy resources that humans use. This lesson compares the different energy resources and considers environmental impacts and long term impacts of their uses.\n\nFor other content head over to ChemistryBiology or back to Physics" ]

The information is based on the my book and research I have done since publication of the book:\n\nClark, R.N., Visual Astronomy of the Deep Sky, Cambridge University Press and Sky Publishing, (book of 355 pages), 1990. Copyright Roger N. Clark and Sky Publishing. This book is referred to as \"Visual Astronomy\" from here on.\n\nInformation may be freely used and printed for personal non-profit use by amateur astronomers for their pursuit of visual observing.\n\nOptimum Magnified Visual Angle\n\nIn the book \"Visual Astronomy,\" I derived a concept called the Optimum Magnified Visual Angle (OMVA). This is the angle to which an observer looking through a telescope can detect the faintest and lowest contrast objects. Using data from a World War II study to help soldiers see better at night, I interpreted the data from the perspective of viewing through a telescope. A long held concept in amateur astronomy observing is to increase the magnification of a telescope to \"increase the contrast of the object being viewed.\" While the effect is real, the explanation is incorrect. As one changes magnification, all objects change size (e.g. object and sky background), so the contrast stays constant. But the eye's sensitivity to contrast changes as the object size changes, with lower contrast objects easier to detect when they appear larger, meaning at higher power.\n\nAs one magnifies an object in a telescope, the object appears larger, but its surface brightness (e.g. apparent magnitude per square arc-second) decreases. If the object is magnified too much, its surface brightness may be too faint to see. While some magnification can help viewing, too much hurts. So, there appears to be an optimum. I derived the optimum curve in \"Visual Astronomy\" and here I discuss the concept and the confusion that has surfaced since publication of the book.\n\nContrast Discrimination\n\nVisual astronomical observations depend not just on detecting faint light but also on contrast discrimination. Both abilities are involved in seeing such things as spiral arms of galaxies and dark rifts in nebulae, and in simply perceiving any object against the sky background. Contrast detection thresholds, as a function of background surface brightness for several object diameters, are plotted in Figure 2.5 from \"Visual Astronomy\". This diagram shows that, for a given background (e.g. the night sky), less contrast is needed to see a larger object.", null, "Figure 2.5 from Visual Astronomy. The minimum contrast needed to detect an object of a given angular size shown as a function of background surface brightness, do. The larger an object appears to the eye, the easier it is to detect. For small, bright objects on a bright background, a contrast less than 0.01 is enough for detection. But against the very dim night-sky background seen in a telescope (fainter than 25 magnitudes per square arc-sec), a large object must have a contrast of nearly 1.0, and a small object more than 100, to be detected. Derived from data in Table VIII of Blackwell (1946).\n\nCritical Visual Angle\n\nThe data in Figure 2.5 were used to plot minimum detectable contrast versus angular size at constant values of background luminance to make Figure 2.6. Here we notice that for objects with small angular sizes, the smallest detectable contrast times the surface area is a constant. As an object becomes larger, this product is no longer constant. The angle at which the change occurs is called the critical visual angle. An object smaller than this angle is a point source as far as the eye is concerned. (A point can be considered the angular size smaller than which no detail can be seen.)", null, "Figure 2.6 from Visual Astronomy. The smallest contrast needed to detect objects of various sizes on various backgrounds. This diagram is the most important one in the book, so it's worth taking the time to figure out its complexities. This is the same data as in Figure 2.5, except that contrast detection ability is plotted against angular size for various background surface brightnesses (magnitude per square arc-second).\n\nWhen an object is magnified in a telescope, the contrast between object and background does not change since both are magnified equally. However, the object becomes larger as viewed by the eye. Therefore, moving horizontally across the chart corresponds to increasing the magnification.\n\nAs we start with low magnification on the left side, the contours of background surface brightness are diagonal straight lines. At a point called the critical visual angle, the lines begin to curve. Objects smaller than this value appear as point sources (the smallest detail that can be distinguished). As one moves to the right of the critical visual angle line, the faintest detectable surface brightness decreases faster than the background surface brightness. Thus, fainter objects--or detail within objects--can be seen as magnification is increased.\n\nThis is true only until the \"optimum magnified visual angle\" is reached. Thereafter, higher magnification decreases the detection threshold faster than surface brightness. A faint object is most visible when magnified to this angle. Derived from data in Table VIII of Blackwell (1946).\n\nThis critical angle is shown in Figure 2.7a plotted for various background luminances. Figure 2.7a shows that as the background becomes fainter, the size of a \"point source\" becomes larger for objects that are just detectable. In other words, the eye's resolution or ability to see detail is much coarser in the dark.", null, "Figure 2.7a from Visual Astronomy. The eye's resolving power, unlike a camera's depends on an object's surface brightness. The critical visual angle is the angle below which no detail can be seen and objects appear as point sources.\n\nOptimum Magnified Visual Angle\n\nA low-contrast object is more easily detected if it is larger. For an extended object such as a galaxy viewed in a telescope, magnification does not change the contrast with the background, because both the sky's and the object's surface brightnesses are affected equally. Some visual observers have stated that a dim object's contrast with the sky background increases with higher magnification, but this is clearly wrong. The contrast merely looks greater because of the increased detection capabilities of the eye. Clark (1990) coined a name for the maximum magnification that will help detection: the \"optimum magnified visual angle\" (OMVA). This angle is shown in Figure 2.6 and also Figure 2.7b.", null, "Figure 2.7b from Visual Astronomy. The \"optimum magnified visual angle\" of an object depends on surface brightness. This angle is the size for which a faint object, or detail within an object, should be magnified in order to maximize the possibility of detection.\n\nIf an object is at the threshold of detection and smaller than the optimum angle, more magnification will make it easier to see. When the object is magnified beyond the optimum angle, its surface brightness decreases faster than the eye's contrast detection threshold, and the object will become harder to detect. Remember that even for an object somewhat above the detection threshold, higher magnification may bring out details within the object that are smaller than the optimum angle at a lower magnification.\n\nControversy\n\nThere has been a fair amount of confusion, discussion and criticism over this concept. Here are some links:\n\nIn a long public and private email series among the above authors, we tried to understand each others points and to try and figure out what is correct (this was not simple). These discussions ended without full resolution of the issues. However, we did learn a few things.\n\nFirst, two general methods were being used to derive the OMVA.\n\n• 1) Some were deriving OMVA from the surface brightness detection lines. This, however means changing the contrast as one moves along constant surface brightness.\n• 2) Others were holding contrast constant as occurs when changing magnification in a telescope.\n\nI derived the original OMVA by hand methods in the early 1980s before I had the modern computer tools, but using method 2 above. Nils Olof Carlin and I generally used method 2 and the Mel Bartels page above uses method 1. In our long discussions, and on the pages above, the other authors have yet to derive a new OMVA curve.\n\nSome of the disagreement centered on my saying the OMVA occurs at a slope of -1 on the curves of constant surface brightness in Figure 2.6. Derivations by others in our discussions came out with a slope of -2. But I think people are solving different problems (e.g. the method 1 above). Methods which change contrast while changing magnification in a telescope are incorrect in my view, because the contrast of extended objects does not change when you change magnification in a telescope. This fact, I believe, is the root cause of much of the confusion.\n\nWhen one magnifies an object in a telescope, one moves horizontally across the Figure 2.6 diagram. The object gets larger proportional to the magnification, m, but the surface brightness decreases in proportion to 1/m2. So it is the horizontal spacing of the surface brightness curves in Figure 2.6 that controls where the optimum is located. If the slope is steeper than -1 on the Figure, increasing magnification helps detection. As the slope of the surface brightness curves becomes more horizontal, the spacing stretches out (in constant contrast, or horizontally) and one loses detection ability due to loss in surface brightness faster than one gains by increasing the apparent size. This trade point occurs at a slope of -1. This is the optimum. On this point, at least some of the others (above) probably still disagree. Perhaps after reading this page, we can collectively go over the data, including the new data I present below, and derive a better solution.\n\nRegardless of where the correct optimum is, the data I present below shows the optimum is a shallow function, and if you follow the advice in the very last paragraph, you will observe all detail close enough to the optimum that this academic disagreement is meaningless in practice.\n\nOne thing that came of our discussions, the Optimum Detection Magnifications in Appendix F of Visual Astronomy (in which I used method 1 in a way I didn't realize until these discussions) is wrong. Do not use it! The program I wrote changes contrast and thus is flawed.\n\nHowever, the \"Minimum Optimum Detection Magnification\" (MDM) in Appendix E is still correct to the best of my knowledge.\n\nSo what does all this mean?\n\nWhat few people realize is that the data presented in Figure 2.5 and 2.6 are projections of a 3-dimensional surface onto 2-dimensional graphs. The 3-D surface is shown below in Figure A.", null, "Figure A. The \"Blackwell Surface\" for threshold detection. Detection of a faint object by a visual observer depends on 3 things: 1) surface brightness of the object, 2) the object's angular size, and 3) the contrast with the background. An object is detectable if it plots on the surface or above it.\n\nFigure 2.5 is the projection of Figure A to the upper left plane. Figure 2.6 is the projection of the data onto the upper right plane. The third projection is the floor and is shown below in Figure B.", null, "Figure B. The threshold contrast as a function of apparent angular size and surface brightness. The curves on the plot are constant contrast. The red diagonal lines represent the magnification trend in a telescope. The optimum magnified visual angle (OMVA) occurs tangent to a contrast curve. The white line shows my new derivation of the OMVA, first presented at the May 2001 Riverside Telescope Makers Convention (RTMC). The idea for this derivation was first presented to me by _______ of England in 19__ (I'm searching for this letter).\n\nThe OMVA in Figure B shows a second way to look at the Blackwell data and derive the OMVA. As one can see from the tangent points, and considering the data have been re-interpolated a couple of times, one might wonder how accurate the derivation of and OMVA is. Let's look at another way to check what the OMVA is.\n\nThe Minimum Aperture Needed to Detect M57 as a Ring\n\nA simple method to check the OMVA is actual observations of simple deep-sky objects. An excellent object is M57. What is the minimum aperture needed to detect the ring nature of the object as a function of magnification? For this test, I did it in one night when the object was overhead and used aperture masks, so variations in sky conditions was minimal and telescope transmission was a constant. The results are shown in Figures C and D.", null, "Figure C. The minimum aperture needed to detect the ring nature of M57 at various magnifications. The curve shows the \"barely\" to \"easy\" apertures as the bottom and top curves, respectively. The average of the barely and easy is shown as the heavy line. The image is an M57 drawing using my 12.5-inch telescope and many magnifications.\n\nThe central hole is about 3/4 arc-minute across. The minimum aperture occurs at a magnification of about 130x (+/- 30), which means the optimum diameter occurs at about 100 arc-minutes as viewed by your eye. The background surface brightness is about 25.5 magnitudes /square arc-second (including 0.4 mag/sq. arc-sec. for transmission loss in the telescope).", null, "Figure D. The mean surface brightness of M57 as a function of magnification when it is just detectable at each aperture in Figure C.\n\nNote how shallow the minimum is in the M57 ring detection experiment in Figure C. The OMVA is not a precise value.\n\nNow let's try and determine the OMVA at the brighter surface brightnesses. Click on the figure below to see a test chart of low contrast spots of various sizes.\n\nIf you print this chart at 300 dpi, and hold it at 30 inches from your eye, the 27 pixel diameter spots appear about 10.3 arc-minutes across. Viewing the chart in low room light gets near the right side of Figure 2.7b. For the low contrast spots, how large do they have to be to be seen (just above the threshold)? I tried some various lighting conditions and found a range of about 6 to 13 arc-minutes were needed to detect the low contrast spots (e.g. the 2 DN brighter than the background). I did the experiment before computing the spot sizes so I did not know what the outcome would be.\n\nPlotting the M57 point, the low contrast spot experiment, along with OMVA from Figure 2.6 and Figure B, we see the result in Figure E, below.", null, "Figure E. OMVA from Figure 2.6 and Figure B and the derived point from the M57 experiment.\n\nConclusions\n\nThe new Optimum Magnified Visual Angle (OMVA) curve (Figure E, red line) is much more complex than the original OMVA curve (Figure E, black line). However, both indicate a general upward trend of increasing apparent angular size with decreasing surface brightness. Which is correct? It appears that the original OMVA agrees with observational data so far, but more precise data are needed to be sure. I do not think the OMVA data are good enough with the interpolations that have been done (starting with Blackwell, 1946). It is clear that the OMVA has a broad minimum. It is also clear that the OMVA for very faint objects is on the order of 0.5 to 1.5 degrees (it may be more than about 100 arc-minutes at the faint end).\n\nThus, the observing strategy to detect deep-sky objects, or detail within objects, is to magnify those objects, or detail within the objects. so they appear about 100 arc-minutes in size. For example, if you are trying to detect a dark nebula in a galaxy arm, magnify that dark nebula so that it appears about a degree across or more.\n\nWhat Does All This Mean?\n\nTo see all the detail in an object, use many powers, from very low to very high, examining the entire object with each magnification. Because the OMVA appears to be a shallow minimum, one need not be precisely on the optimum. Within a factor of 2 or a little less in magnification is fine.

[ "## What is a diode in parallel to an inductive load called?\n\nA flyback diode is a diode connected across an inductor used to eliminate flyback, which is the sudden voltage spike seen across an inductive load when its supply current is suddenly reduced or interrupted.\n\n## What happens when diodes are connected in parallel?\n\nWhen the diodes are connected in parallel the current carrying capacity of the diodes increases. If the load current is greater than the diode current rating of one diode, then more than one diode can be connected in parallel to increase the forward current rating.\n\nWhat is the purpose of diode in parallel with switch if load is inductive?\n\nIf the load is inductive, there are times when the switch (MOSFET) must be on, but current flows in the oposite direction. The diode gives this current a path to flow. If the diode is not used, the inductive current ceases instantly, generating high voltage peaks.\n\nWhy diode is connected in parallel with relay?\n\nA flyback diode or freewheeling diode is placed with reverse polarity from the power supply and in parallel to the relay’s inductance coil. The use of a diode in a relay circuit prevents huge voltage spikes from arising when the power supply is disconnected.\n\n### Why diode is used in IGBT?\n\nThis means that unlike a MOSFET, IGBTs cannot conduct in the reverse direction. In bridge circuits, where reverse current flow is needed, an additional diode (called a freewheeling diode) is placed in parallel (actually anti-parallel) with the IGBT to conduct current in the opposite direction.\n\n### Can I put 2 diodes in parallel?\n\nIt is not recommended to connect two diodes in parallel. Every diode has a slightly different forward voltage; even diodes with the same part number are not perfectly matched. If two diodes are connected in parallel, the one with the lower voltage drop will conduct most of the current.\n\nWhat happens when diode is connected in series?\n\nIn this case, one Zener diode will be forward biased while the other is reverse biased. In the end-to-end arrangement, the cathode of one diode is connected to the anode of another diode, so both will be forward biased or both will be reverse biased. End-to-end and back-to-back current-voltage diodes in series.\n\nWhat is the purpose of anti parallel diode?\n\nAntiparallel diodes are often used for ESD protection in ICs. Different ground or supply domains at the same potential or voltage may be wired separately for isolation reasons. However, during an ESD event across the domains, one would want a path for the high current to traverse.\n\n## Do I need a diode on a relay?\n\nWith a transistor output driving a relay, a freewheeling diode is absolutely necessary, because the voltage spike will destroy the transistor. When using a switch to turn on/off a relay, omitting the diode will work, but your switch will be happier when you use a diode (one individual diode for each relay).\n\nParallel connection means the components are connected across each other, having two common points. Current differs across each component while voltage drop is same. When diodes are connected in parallel, this same trend is observed. Diode Characteristics in Parallel Configuration Current carrying capacity increases.\n\n## How are inductors in parallel series and parallel connection?\n\nInductors in Parallel. In the parallel connection, the voltage across each inductor is equal and also if the total current is changed, the voltage drop across each individual inductor will be less as compared with series connection. For a given rate of change of current, less will be the inductance in less voltage.\n\nHow is a flyback diode chosen for an inductor?\n\nFor an ideal flyback diode selection, a diode which has very large peak forward current capacity (to handle voltage transients without burning out the diode) should be selected, moreover, low forward voltage drop, and a reverse breakdown voltage fitted the inductor’s power supply.\n\nHow are Schottky diodes connected in a circuit?\n\nSchottky diodes are connected in parallel at both ends of the line. When the current flowing in the coil disappears, the induced electromotive force generated by the coil is consumed by the work formed by the diode and the coil. This protects the safety of other components in the circuit.\n\nWhat is a diode in parallel to an inductive load called? A flyback diode is a diode connected across an inductor used to eliminate flyback, which is the sudden voltage spike seen across an inductive load when its supply current is suddenly reduced or interrupted.

[ "#### Howdy, Stranger!\n\nIt looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!\n\nOptions\n\n# Lecture 47 - Chapter 3: Adjoint Functors\n\nedited June 2018\n\nWe spent a lot of time in Chapter 2 studying Galois connections. Now all that time is going to pay off! We're going to generalize Galois connections between preorders, and get 'adjoint functors' between categories. These are one of most fruitful ideas in category theory.\n\nRemember, given two preorders $$A$$ and $$B$$, a Galois connection is a pair of monotone maps $$f: A \\to B$$ and $$g: B \\to A$$ such that\n\n$$f(a) \\le b \\textrm{ if and only if } a \\le g(b)$$ for all $$a \\in A, b \\in B$$. We call $$f$$ the left adjoint of $$g$$, and $$g$$ the right adjoint of $$f$$.\n\nBut now we know that a preorder is a special sort of category: a category where there's at most one morphism from any object $$x$$ to any object $$y$$. We denote the existence of a morphism by $$x \\le y$$.\n\nSo how do we generalize Galois connections to arbitrary categories? A first guess might be this:\n\nFirst Attempt at a Generalization. Given categories $$\\mathcal{A}$$ and $$\\mathcal{B}$$, an adjunction is pair of functors $$F: \\mathcal{A} \\to \\mathcal{B}$$ and $$G: \\mathcal{B} \\to \\mathcal{A}$$ such that there is a one-to-one correspondence between morphisms\n\n$$m: F(a) \\to b$$ and morphisms\n\n$$n : a \\to G(b)$$ for all objects $$a$$ in $$\\mathcal{A}$$ and $$b$$ in $$\\mathcal{B}$$. We call $$F$$ the left adjoint of $$G$$, and $$G$$ the right adjoint of $$F$$.\n\nYou can check that this generalization does indeed reduce to the definition of Galois connection when our categories are preorders. However, it's not the right generalization!\n\nThe reason is that merely saying there exists a one-to-one correspondence is not enough to do much. We should at the very least specify a one-to-one correspondence, and make it part of the definition.\n\nThis is not good enough either, but it's a step in the right direction, so let's write it down.\n\nRemember, the set of morphisms from $$F(a)$$ to $$b$$ in the category $$\\mathcal{B}$$ is called $$\\mathcal{B}(F(a),b)$$. The set of morphisms from $$a$$ to $$G(b)$$ in the category $$\\mathcal{A}$$ is called $$\\mathcal{A}(a,G(b))$$. So, we're going to specify a one-to-one correspondence, also known as a bijection, between these two sets.\n\nSecond Attempt at a Generalization. Given categories $$\\mathcal{A}$$ and $$\\mathcal{B}$$, an adjunction is pair of functors $$F: \\mathcal{A} \\to \\mathcal{B}$$ and $$G: \\mathcal{B} \\to \\mathcal{A}$$ together with a bijection\n\n$$\\alpha_{a,b} : \\mathcal{B}(F(a),b) \\to \\mathcal{A}(a,G(b))$$ for every pair of objects $$a$$ in $$\\mathcal{A}$$ and $$b$$ in $$\\mathcal{B}$$. We call $$F$$ the left adjoint of $$G$$, and $$G$$ the right adjoint of $$F$$.\n\nThis is getting nice. We could actually do a fair amount with this. But for serious work we'll need $$\\alpha$$ to be a natural isomorphism, which gives a bijection $$\\alpha_{a,b}$$ when we feed it a pair of objects $$(a,b)$$.\n\nAnd this, in turn, means that we need to interpret $$\\mathcal{B}(F(-),-)$$ and $$\\mathcal{A}(-,G(-))$$ as functors, which give sets $$\\mathcal{B}(F(a),b)$$ and $$\\mathcal{A}(a,G(b))$$ when we feed them a pair of objects $$(a,b)$$. The blanks stand for slots where we can feed in $$a$$ and $$b$$ - this is standard math notation.\n\nDefining these functors takes a little work. Let me run through it rapidly now in a sketchy way. Next time we'll look at some examples, and eventually we'll need to get serious about the details.\n\nFor any pair of categories $$\\mathcal{A}$$ and $$\\mathcal{B}$$ there's a category $$\\mathcal{A} \\times \\mathcal{B}$$, called the 'product' of $$\\mathcal{A}$$ and $$\\mathcal{B}$$. Objects here are pairs $$(a,b)$$ where $$a$$ is in $$\\mathcal{A}$$ and $$b$$ is in $$\\mathcal{B}$$; There's more that needs to be said - I haven't filled in all the details - but let's move ahead.\n\nFor any category $$\\mathcal{A}$$ there a category $$\\mathcal{A}^{\\text{op}}$$ called the opposite of $$\\mathcal{A}$$, which has the same objects but has morphisms going the opposite way. In other words, a morphism $$f: a \\to a'$$ in $$\\mathcal{A}^{\\text{op}}$$ is defined to be morphism $$f: a' \\to a$$. There's more that needs to be said, but let's keep moving!\n\nGiven functors $$F: \\mathcal{A} \\to \\mathcal{B}$$ and $$G: \\mathcal{B} \\to \\mathcal{A}$$, I claim that there are functors\n\n$$\\mathcal{B}(F(-),-) : \\mathcal{A}^{\\text{op}} \\times \\mathcal{B} \\to \\mathbf{Set}$$ and\n\n$$\\mathcal{A}(-,G(-)) :\\mathcal{A}^{\\text{op}} \\times \\mathcal{B} \\to \\mathbf{Set}$$ that give sets $$\\mathcal{B}(F(a),b)$$ and $$\\mathcal{A}(a,G(b))$$, respectively, when we feed them an object $$(a,b) \\in \\mathcal{A}^{\\text{op}} \\times \\mathcal{B}$$.\n\nSo, for an adjunction, what we want is a natural isomorphism between these functors!\n\nNow we are ready - except for the important details I left out - for the correct definition:\n\nDefinition. Given categories $$\\mathcal{A}$$ and $$\\mathcal{B}$$, an adjunction is pair of functors $$F: \\mathcal{A} \\to \\mathcal{B}$$ and $$G: \\mathcal{B} \\to \\mathcal{A}$$ together with a natural isomorphism\n\n$$\\alpha : \\mathcal{B}(F(-),-) \\to \\mathcal{A}(-,G(-)).$$ We call $$F$$ the left adjoint of $$G$$, and $$G$$ the right adjoint of $$F$$.\n\nNote that the final definition is shorter than our two previous guesses! But it packs a bigger punch... and it takes more work to really understand it. We'll start next time.\n\nTo read other lectures go here.\n\n## Comments\n\n• Options\n1.\nedited June 2018\n\nSince I didn't teach a class on Thursday and Friday, I did it on Saturday and Sunday!

Suppose we attempt to define the homset functor as $$\\hom : \\mathcal{C} \\times \\mathcal{C} \\to \\mathbf{Set}$$ such that any pair of objects $$(c,c')$$ is mapped to the set of morphisms $$\\mathcal{C}(c,c')$$ between these objects. We have to define what happens the morphisms $$(f,f') : (c,c') \\to (d,d')$$, and applying the homset functor to the morphism pair should give us a map sending morphisms in $$\\mathcal{C}(c,c')$$ to morphisms in $$\\mathcal{C}(d,d')$$.\n\nLet $$h$$ be any element of $$\\mathcal{C}(c,c')$$ and $$h'$$ an element of $$\\mathcal{C}(d,d')$$ such that $$\\hom (f,f') (h)=h'$$.

[ "Recently, while trying to compare the distribution of two samples, I discovered that you can plot both on the same graph in base R, which is a nice feature if you just want to examine the data quickly. We can explore this with a psychological dataset from the Open Psychometrics site. This hosts a range of open psychometric tests and stores the data in an accessible form. Let’s pull out the data for the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (note that there are two different scoring methods in common use on this scale - on the website they have used a 1 - 4 Likert scale for the data output as a csv, but it is not unusual to see the use of a 0 - 3 scale, (which is the method used to give participants on the website feedback) so we need to be cautious when comparing these total scores with published norms - see https://socy.umd.edu/about-us/using-rosenberg-self-esteem-scale.\n\nFirst we will load two packages we are going to use. We want the tidyverse for manipulating the variables and we will use the psych package for creating total scores on the measure itself.\n\n``````library(tidyverse)\nlibrary(psych)\n``````\n\nNext we want to set an url object to direct the download.file() to the right place to pull the data. I have called it my_url for simplicity. We pass this as the first argument in the download.file() function. We then set a destination for the file to be saved with the dest argument. Finally we use unzip to unpack the zipped file.\n\n``````my_url <- \"http://openpsychometrics.org/_rawdata/RSE.zip\"\nunzip (\"data.zip\", exdir = \"./\")\n``````\n\nNow we can import the data with the read_tsv() function. We can’t use the read_csv() function with the data, because despite having a .csv extension, the data is actually tab-separated not comma-separated.\n\n``````df <- read_tsv(\"RSE/data.csv\")\n``````\n\nIn the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale Items 2, 5, 6, 8, 9 are normally reverse scored. However, whoever loaded the questions on the website put them in a different order, with items 3, 5, 8, 9, 10 needing reversing. We need to create a total score for the measure and to be mindful of the reverse coded items. The psych package provides a function for this called scoreFast. We need to pass it a list called keys.list which specifies the direction of each item in turn (items are scored as-is if they have no leading ‘-’ minus sign, but all items with a minus are reverse scored). We won’t bother recoding the data from the 1 - 4 scale to 0 - 3 as it makes little difference for your graphs.\n\n``````keys.list <- list(c('Q1', 'Q2', '-Q3', 'Q4', '-Q5', 'Q6', 'Q7', '-Q8', '-Q9', '-Q10'))\ndf\\$total <- scoreFast(keys.list, items = df[1:10], totals = TRUE, min = 1, max = 4)\n``````\n\nNow we have our dataset, we can look at comparing distributions. We might want to know if the distribution of self-esteem scores differs between men and women. Checking the codebook on the website, we can see that males are coded as ‘1’ and females as ‘2’.\n\n``````men <- df %>%\nfilter(gender == 1)\nwomen <- df %>%\nfilter(gender == 2)\n``````\n\nSo let’s plot the total self-esteem scores for the women in the sample as a simple histogram.\n\n``````hist(women\\$total)\n``````", null, "We can see a fairly normal distribution of scores. We can check the mean, but we might predict it is around 25.\n\n``````mean(women\\$total)\n``````\n``````## 25.74368\n``````\n\nNext we can add the men’s scores to the same plot. Here we simply create the first plot, then make a second plot with the argument add set to TRUE. We will set the density to 35 so we can see through the bars on the histogram.\n\n``````hist(women\\$total, col = 'red', main = \"Histogram of Total scores on Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale\", xlab = \"Total score\")\nhist(men\\$total, add = TRUE, col = 'blue', density = 35)\n``````", null, "I have used the pipe to separate my data into individual gender dataframes, but this is only one way to do it, and I do find this code very easy to read. However, we could have done the same thing using a traditional R approach of indexing instead.\n\n``````hist(df\\$total[df\\$gender== 2], col = 'orchid', main = \"Histogram of Total scores on Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale\", xlab = \"Total score\")\nhist(df\\$total[df\\$gender==1], add = TRUE, col = 'royalblue', density = 40)\n``````", null, "Now we have seen the distributions, we might wonder if the sexes differ on the measure of self-esteem. Let’s run a quick t-test to see.\n\n``````t.test(men\\$total, women\\$total)\n``````\n``````##\n## \tWelch Two Sample t-test\n##\n## data: men\\$total and women\\$total\n## t = 23.785, df = 37496, p-value < 2.2e-16\n## alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0\n## 95 percent confidence interval:\n## 1.436304 1.694284\n## sample estimates:\n## mean of x mean of y\n## 27.30897 25.74368\n``````\n\nYes they do! With men having a significantly higher mean score on self-esteem (though the absolute difference is quite small.)\n\nPosted on:\nOctober 12, 2019\nLength:\n4 minute read, 816 words" ]

[ "Commenced in January 2007\nFrequency: Monthly\nEdition: International\nPaper Count: 30127\n##### A Stochastic Diffusion Process Based on the Two-Parameters Weibull Density Function\n\nAbstract:\n\nStochastic modeling concerns the use of probability to model real-world situations in which uncertainty is present. Therefore, the purpose of stochastic modeling is to estimate the probability of outcomes within a forecast, i.e. to be able to predict what conditions or decisions might happen under different situations. In the present study, we present a model of a stochastic diffusion process based on the bi-Weibull distribution function (its trend is proportional to the bi-Weibull probability density function). In general, the Weibull distribution has the ability to assume the characteristics of many different types of distributions. This has made it very popular among engineers and quality practitioners, who have considered it the most commonly used distribution for studying problems such as modeling reliability data, accelerated life testing, and maintainability modeling and analysis. In this work, we start by obtaining the probabilistic characteristics of this model, as the explicit expression of the process, its trends, and its distribution by transforming the diffusion process in a Wiener process as shown in the Ricciaardi theorem. Then, we develop the statistical inference of this model using the maximum likelihood methodology. Finally, we analyse with simulated data the computational problems associated with the parameters, an issue of great importance in its application to real data with the use of the convergence analysis methods. Overall, the use of a stochastic model reflects only a pragmatic decision on the part of the modeler. According to the data that is available and the universe of models known to the modeler, this model represents the best currently available description of the phenomenon under consideration.\n\nDigital Object Identifier (DOI): doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1125047\n\nReferences:\n\n R.

[ "## February 07, 2012\n\n### Issue of Mirrored UVs and Normal Map when rendering in Unity\n\nRecently, I found my model has normal map seam when rendering in Unity with our custom shader.\nAnd I try to use the Unity built-in shader to render it. The result shows that there's no seams. How strange? Soon I found that because of all UV of my models are symmetry. It means that half of my UV are flipped. Hence, the binormal of the half model has been reversed. (tangent basis is calculated by normal and UV, http://www.3dkingdoms.com/weekly/weekly.php?a=37). In Maya, I never notice that, because it auto-detects the UV winding direction. So, I just need to do the same thing in my shader.\n\nSo after researching, I got the method how to detect the UV winding. Here's the formula:\n\ntangent[a].w = (Dot(Cross(n, t), tan2[a]) < 0.0F) ? -1.0F : 1.0F;\n\nhere tangent is stored by float4, the w stores the UV winding direction, 1, or -1.\nAnd tan2 would be the binormal, n is the normal, and t is the actual orthogonalized tangent.\n\nAlthough this equation answer my question, it didn't solve my problem. It's kind impossible to calculated the orthogonalized tangent in a shader. But it give me a hint. Would Unity has calculated the UV winding for us and stored it in tangent.w?\n\nWith an easy debug shader to show the tangent.w, I got my answer:\n\nSo the actual key is:\nI just need to write a branch to see if I need to flip the binormal when calculating the tangent space.\n\nfloat3x3 rotation = float3x3(v.tangent.xyz, binormal.xyz, v.normal.xyz);\n\nif(v.tangent.w > 0)\nrotation = float3x3(v.tangent.xyz, -binormal.xyz, v.normal.xyz);\n\nSo, here is the result without the UV winding detection:\n\nAnd this is the correct rendering with UV winding detection\nNote: Why we don't want to use the built-int shader in Unity? Just because even the shader is simple as bump spec one which really has a lot of junk inside. And the most important: they hide those expensive calculations in compiled functions.\n\n#### 3 意見:\n\nEdy said...\n\nHave you tried disabling Tangent Calculation on the Unity 3D importer? That fixed the problem for me.\nImage\n\nEdy said...\n\nHave you tried disabling Tangent Calculation on the Unity 3D importer?

The algorithm works by finding k centroids, where each centroid represents the center of a cluster. It then assigns each observation to the nearest centroid, creating a cluster. The algorithm iteratively moves the centroids to minimize the distance between the observations and their assigned centroid. This process continues until the centroids no longer move, or a maximum number of iterations is reached.\n\n## Key Highlights\n\n• K-Means is a type of unsupervised learning algorithm used to identify patterns in data.\n• K-Means is easy to implement and is one of the most commonly used clustering algorithms in data science.\n• The algorithm can be used for a wide range of applications, including image segmentation, customer segmentation, and anomaly detection.\n\n## References", null, "" ]

[ "# Cross-Entropy Loss Leads To Poor Margins\n\nNeural networks could misclassify inputs that are slightly different from their training data, which indicates a small margin between their decision boundaries and the training dataset. In this work, we study the binary classification of linearly separable datasets and show that linear classifiers could also have decision boundaries that lie close to their training dataset if cross-entropy loss is used for training. In particular, we show that if the features of the training dataset lie in a low-dimensional affine subspace and the cross-entropy loss is minimized by using a gradient method, the margin between the training points and the decision boundary could be much smaller than the optimal value. This result is contrary to the conclusions of recent related works such as (Soudry et al., 2018), and we identify the reason for this contradiction. In order to improve the margin, we introduce differential training, which is a training paradigm that uses a loss function defined on pairs of points from each class. We show that the decision boundary of a linear classifier trained with differential training indeed achieves the maximum margin. The results reveal the use of cross-entropy loss as one of the hidden culprits of adversarial examples and introduces a new direction to make neural networks robust against them.\n\nPDF Abstract\n\n## Code Add Remove Mark official\n\nNo code implementations yet.

[ "# [erlang-questions] Heap alloc error in lists:foldl/3\n\nTue Nov 6 15:29:32 CET 2012\n\n```Hello.\n\n%% if I use sum, instead of foldsum, everything is ok\n\nThis is because foldsum/2 creates a list of 10 000 000 integers (call to\nlists:seq/2). And you create Np of such lists in total, each one in a different\nprocess. A list in Erlang is a chain of cons pairs (as in Lisp). Each cons\noccupies 2 words, where one word is either 32bits or 64bits, depending on your\nHW architecture. Thus one such list takes\n\n10 000 000 * 8 = 80MB (on 32-bit architecture)\n\nHence it is fairly possible that your system simply ran out of memory.\n\nThe version using sum/2 does not exhibit this behaviour, because it runs in\nconstant space.\n\nHTH,\n\nOn 6.11.2012 15:03, Arif Ishaq wrote:\n> Hi,\n>\n> I'm a newbie, playing with a toy programme to see how parallel processing works\n> in Erlang.\n>\n> The goal is to calculate the value of pi using Leibnitz series.

If the condition is dropped that $X$ be inhabited it is still called a pseudo-torsor.\n\n## Properties\n\n###### Proposition\n\nSuppose $G$ acts transitively on $X$ by $* : G \\times X \\to X$, and suppose moreover that this action is faithful. Then $G$ acts freely (and hence regularly) on $X$ if and only if the group $Aut_G(X)$ of $G$-equivariant automorphisms (i.e., bijections $\\phi : X \\to X$ commuting with the action of $G$) acts transitively (and hence regularly) on $X$.\n\n###### Proof\n\nFirst we show that $Aut_G(X)$ acts freely on $X$. Suppose $\\phi \\in Aut_G(X)$ is such that $\\phi(x) = x$ for some $x\\in X$, and let $y\\in X$ be arbitrary. By the assumption that $G$ acts transitively, there is a $g \\in G$ such that $y = g*x$. But then $G$-equivariance implies that\n\n$\\phi(y) = \\phi(g*x) = g*\\phi(x) = g*x = y.$\n\nSince this holds for all $y\\in Y$, $\\phi$ must be equal to the identity $\\phi = id_X$, and therefore $Aut_G(X)$ acts freely on $X$.\n\nNext, suppose that $G$ also acts freely on $X$, and let $x,y \\in X$ be arbitrary. Then we can define a $G$-equivariant automorphism $\\phi$ such that $\\phi(x) = y$ by\n\n$\\phi = z \\mapsto g_z*y,$\n\nwhere for each $z$, $g_z$ is the unique group element such that $z = g_z*x$. Conversely, suppose that $Aut_G(X)$ acts transitively on $X$, and let $x\\in X$, $g\\in G$ such that $g*x = x$. By the assumption, for any $y \\in X$, there exists $\\phi \\in Aut_G(X)$ such that $\\phi(x) = y$, from which it follows that\n\n$g*y = g*\\phi(x) = \\phi(g*x) = \\phi(x) = y.$\n\nSince $g*y = y$ for all $y \\in X$, therefore $g = 1$ by the assumption that $G$ acts faithfully on $X$.\n\n## Examples\n\n• The action of $G$ on itself by multiplication $\\cdot : G \\times G \\to G$ (on the left or on the right) is a regular action, called the (left or right) regular representation of $G$.\n\n• If one views a combinatorial map $M$ as the transitive action of a certain group of permutations, then $M$ represents a regular map (Siran 2006) just in case this action is regular. For example, the five Platonic solids may be represented as regular combinatorial maps.\n\n## In homotopy type theory\n\nWe discuss regular actions via homotopy type theory.\n\nSince doing group representation theory in homotopy type theory corresponds to working in the context of a delooped group in homotopy type theory, the regularity of an action is naturally expressed there. Transitivity ensures that all the points in the homotopy quotient are connected by equivalences, while freeness means that the space of equivalences between two points is itself contractible. Hence if $\\ast \\colon \\mathbf{B} G \\vdash X(\\ast): Type$ corresponds to a regular action, then the quotient $\\sum_{\\ast: \\mathbf{B} G} X(\\ast)$ is contractible.\n\nRestriction to 1-groups is unnecessary here, and we say\n\n###### Definition\n\nAn ∞-action of an ∞-group is a regular $\\infty$-action if its homotopy quotient is contractible.\n\nFor any $G$-action (∞-action) $X \\colon BG \\to U$, its automorphism group is (see at automorphism ∞-group in HoTT)\n\n$B Aut_G(X) \\coloneqq \\sum_{(P:BG \\to U)} \\|P=X\\|$\n\nand\n\n$\\tilde{X} \\colon B Aut_G(X) \\to U$\n\nby $\\tilde{X}(P,-) \\coloneqq P(\\ast)$.\n\n###### Proposition\n\nIf $X$ is regular, then $\\tilde{X}$ is regular.\n\n###### Proof\n\nFirst, we need to argue that $X(\\ast)$ is merely inhabited. Since $X$ is regular, we have $\\sum_{(b:BG)} X(b)$ contractible. This gives a center of contraction $(b,x)$. Now, since $B G$ is connected, it follows that $\\|b=\\ast\\|$. Since we are proving the mere proposition $\\|X(\\ast)\\|$, we get to use $b=\\ast$. Now we obtain $\\|X(\\ast)\\|$.\n\nNext, to show that $\\tilde{X}$ is regular we need to show that $\\tilde{X}$ has a contractible total space. The dependent sum type $\\sum_{(b : BAut_G(X))} \\tilde{X}(b)$ is equivalent to $\\sum_{(P:BG \\to U)} \\|P=X\\| \\times P(\\ast)$. Contractibility is a mere proposition, and we have $\\|X(\\ast)\\|$, so we get to use a point $x:X(\\ast)$. This gives us a center of contraction $(X,refl,x)$ of the total space of $\\tilde{X}$.\n\nNow let $P : BG \\to U$, let $\\| P = X \\|$, let $p_0 : P(\\ast)$. To show regularity, it suffices to find a term of type\n\n$\\sum_{\\alpha : P = X} \\mathrm{trans}(\\alpha)(p_0) = x \\,.$\n\nThis type is equivalent to showing that there are\n\n$K : \\prod_{b:BG} P(b) \\simeq X(b) \\;\\;\\;\\; \\text{and} \\;\\;\\;\\;\\; K(*,p_0) = x_0 \\,.$\n\nNow we use that $X(b)$ is equivalent to $b=\\ast$ (we get this fact from regularity, together with a point $x:X(\\ast)$). Since we need this particular fiberwise equivalence, it suffices to show that\n\n$\\sum_{b:BG} P(b)$\n\nis contractible. Now this is a mere proposition, so we can eliminate $t : \\| P = X \\|$ to obtain the proof.\n\n###### Proposition\n\nIf $X$ is a principal homogeneous space on $G$, in the sense that the type $\\sum_{(g:G)} g_\\ast(x)=y$ is contractible for all $x,y:X(\\ast)$, and $\\tilde{X}$ is regular, then $X$ is regular.\n\n###### Proof\n\nAgain, we first show that $X(\\ast)$ is merely inhabited. The total space of $\\tilde{X}$ has center of contraction $(P,p_0)$. Since $\\|P=X\\|$ and since we are proving a mere proposition, we get to use $P=X$. Now $\\|X(\\ast)\\|$ follows from $p_0:P(\\ast)$. The regularity of $X$ is a mere proposition, so we get to use $x_0:X(\\ast)$. This gives us the center of contraction $(\\ast,x_0)$. It remains to show that\n\n$\\prod_{(b:BG)} \\prod_{(x:X(b))} \\sum_{(\\alpha : b=\\ast)} \\mathrm{trans}(\\alpha,x) = x_0$.\n\nOf course, it would suffice to prove the stronger statement\n\n$\\prod_{(b:BG)} \\prod_{(x:X(b))} \\mathrm{isContr} (\\sum_{(\\alpha : b=\\ast)} \\mathrm{trans}(\\alpha,x) = x_0)$.\n\nHowever, now we get to use that $BG$ is connected. Therefore it suffices to show that\n\n$\\prod_{x:X(*)} isContr (\\sum_{\\alpha : G} \\mathrm{trans}(\\alpha,x) = x_0)$\n\nThis holds by assumption.\n\n• Jozef Siran, “Regular Maps on a Given Surface: A Survey”, Topics in Discrete Mathematics, 2006.

[ "# Binary Numbers with Playing Cards\n\n## Overview and Objective\n\nIn this lesson, students will explore the binary system. Students will use the 1, 2, 4, and 8 playing cards to represent numbers in base 2.\n\n## Warm-Up\n\nShow the selected game cards to students. Ask them if they notice any particular pattern about the cards. Discuss which card can be added to the left side of the set if there are infinitely many game cards in a deck. You may want to emphasize the difference between the powers of 2 and the multiples of 2.\n\n• first two cards (1+2=3)\n• first three cards (1+2+4=7)\n• first four cards (1+2+4+8=15)\n\nDiscuss with students any patterns between the sums and the next number in the sequence. Clarify with the students that the next number on the left will always be one more than the sum of the previous numbers.\n\n## Main Activity\n\nIn the first set, there are (8+4+1) 13 shapes.\n\nThe following sets have 9, 10, 4, 5, and 14 shapes consecutively.\n\nAsk students to determine all possible numbers that can be created with these cards. Consider having students work on this in pairs and allow them some time to try the other numbers. Share students' examples with the class while recording the numbers found on a table. Ask students if there can be a shortcut to writing the numbers like a code. Let them share their ideas. As you're comfortable, lead them to use \"0\" for the turned-over cards and \"1\" for the face-up cards.\n\nStart filling the codes all the numbers up to 15.\n\nDiscuss the largest and the smallest number they can write and how they can write the numbers bigger than 15.\n\nIf students need a visual for 16, you may use this canvas to ask them different combinations of the numbers.\n\nAsk students to create numbers like 23, 25, and 30. Invite them to share their answers.\n\nNow discuss with students if there can be an easier way to express larger numbers. If students have not already mentioned using on/off like systems, you can suggest using 0s for the turned-down cards and 1s for the face-up ones.\n\nLet them express numbers like 5, 12, 17, 21, 30 using 1s and 0s. This system of writing numbers is called the Binary system. The numbers which are written only by using 0s and 1s are called binary numbers, and they are written in base 2 instead of base 10.\n\nIn the last part, let students work out the value of 1001, 10101, 11010, 100000, 1101011. They can use cards to express these numbers in base 10.\n\n1001= 8+0+0+1 =9\n\n10101= 16+0+4+0+1 =21\n\n11010= 16+8+0+2+0 =26\n\n100000= 32+0+0+0+0+0 =32\n\n110101= 32+16+0+4+0+1= 53\n\nIf the students need clarification on expressing binary numbers in base 10, you may use a table to highlight the place values.\n\n## Closure\n\nSome students might already know that computers use only zeros and ones to represent everything like words, pictures, numbers, movies, and sound.\n\nIf time, to close the lesson, let students explore\n\n• What happens when a zero is added to the right-hand side of the number? For instance, 101 → 1010 or 111→ 1110.\n\nClarify with students if we do the same thing base 10; the number gets 10 times as large. Since now we work on base 2, the number gets twice as large.\n\n101 → 1010; 5→10\n\n111→ 1110; 7→ 14" ]

[ "Understanding Common Misconceptions\n\n2017-12-25 | Daniel Lakens", null, "A p-value is the probability of the observed, or more extreme, data, under the assumption that the null-hypothesis is true. The goal of this blog post is to understand what this means, and perhaps more importantly, what this doesn’t mean. People often misunderstand p-values, but with a little help and some dedicated effort, we should be able explain these misconceptions. Below is my attempt, but if you prefer a more verbal explanation, I can recommend Greenland et al. (2016).\n\nFirst, we need to know what ‘the assumption that the null-hypothesis is true’ looks like. Although the null-hypothesis can be any value, here we will assume the null-hypothesis is specified as a difference of 0. When this model is visualized in text-books, or in power-analysis software such as g*power, you often see a graph like the one below, with t-values on the horizontal axis, and a critical t-value somewhere around 1.96. For a mean difference, the p-value is calculated based on the t-distribution (which is like a normal distribution, and the larger the sample size, the more similar the two become). I will distinguish the null hypothesis (the mean difference in the population is exactly 0) from the null-model (a model of the data we should expect when we draw a sample when the null-hypothesis is true) in this post.", null, "I’ve recently realized that things become a lot clearer if you just plot these distributions as mean differences, because you will more often think about means, than about t-values. So below, you can see a null-model, assuming a standard deviation of 1, for a t-test comparing mean differences (because the SD = 1, you can also interpret the mean differences as a Cohen’s d effect size).", null, "The first thing to notice is that we expect that the mean of the null-model is 0: The distribution is centered on 0. But even if the mean in the population is 0, that does not imply every sample will give a mean of exactly zero. There is variation around the mean, as a function of the true standard deviation, and the sample size. One reason why I prefer to plot the null-model in raw scores instead of t-values is that you can see how the null-model changes, when the sample size increases.", null, "When we collect 5000 instead of 50 observations, we see the null-model is still centered on 0 – but in our null-model we now expect most values will fall very close around 0. Due to the larger sample size, we should expect to observe mean differences in our sample closer to 0 compared to our null-model when we had only 50 observations.\n\nBoth graphs have areas that are colored red. These areas represent 2.5% of the values in the left tail of the distribution, and 2.5% of the values in the right tail of the distribution. Together, they make up 5% of the most extreme mean differences we would expect to observe, given our number of observations, when the true mean difference is exactly 0 – representing the use of an alpha level of 5%. The vertical axis shows the density of the curves.\n\nLet’s assume that in the figure visualizing the null model for N = 50 (two figures up) we observe a mean difference of 0.5 in our data. This observation falls in the red area in the right tail of the distribution. This means that the observed mean difference is surprising, if we assume that the true mean difference is 0. If the true mean difference is 0, we should not expect such a extreme mean difference very often. If we calculate a p-value for this observation, we get the probability of observing a value more extreme (in either tail, when we do a two-tailed test) than 0.5.\n\nTake a look at the figure that shows the null-model when we have collected 5000 observations (one figure up), and imagine we would again observe a mean difference of 0.5. It should be clear that this same difference is even more surprising than it was when we collected 50 observations.\n\nWe are now almost ready to address common misconceptions about p-values, but before we can do this, we need to introduce a model of the data when the null is not true. When the mean difference is not exactly 0, the alternative hypothesis is true – but what does an alternative model look like?\n\nWhen we do a study, we rarely already know what the true mean difference is (if we already knew, why would we do the study?). But let’s assume there is an all-knowing entity. Following Paul Meehl, we will call this all-knowing entity Omniscient Jones. Before we collect our sample of 50 observations, Omniscient Jones already knows that the true mean difference in the population is 0.5. Again, we should expect some variation around this true mean difference in our small sample. The figure below again shows the expected data pattern when the null-hypothesis is true (now indicated by a grey line) and it shows an alternative model, assuming a true mean difference of 0.5 exists in the population (indicated by a black line).", null, "But Omniscient Jones could have said the true difference was much larger. Let’s assume we do another study, but now before we collect our 50 observations, Omniscient Jones tells us that the true mean difference is 1.5. The null model does not change, but the alternative model now moves over to the right.", null, "Now, we are finally ready to address some common misconceptions about p-values. Before we look at misconceptions in some detail, I want to remind you of one fact that is easy to remember, and will enable you to recognize many misconceptions about p-values: p-values are a statement about the probability of data, not a statement about the probability of a theory. Whenever you see p-values interpreted as a probability of a theory or a hypothesis, you know something is not right. Now let’s take a look at why this is not right.\n\n1) Why a non-significant p-value does not mean that the null-hypothesis is true.\n\nLet’s take a concrete example that will illustrate why a non-significant result does not mean that the null-hypothesis is true. In the figure below, Omniscient Jones tells us the true mean difference is again 0.5. We have observed a mean difference of 0.35. This value does not fall within the red area (and hence, the p-value is not smaller than our alpha level, or p > .05). Nevertheless, we see that observing a mean difference of 0.35 is much more likely under the alternative model, than under the null-model.", null, "All the p-value tells us is that this value is not extremely surprising, if we assume the null-hypothesis is true. A non-significant p-value does not mean the null-hypothesis true. It might be, but it is also possible that the data we have observed is more likely when the alternative hypothesis is true, than when the null-hypothesis is true (as in the figure above).\n\n2) Why a significant p-value does not mean that the null-hypothesis is false.\n\nImagine we generate a series of numbers in R using the following command:\n\n``````rnorm(n = 50, mean = 0, sd = 1)\n``````\n\nThis command generates 50 random observations from a distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. We run this command once, and we observe a mean difference of 0.5. We can perform a one-sample t-test against 0, and this test tells us, with a p\n\nShould we decide to reject the null-hypothesis that the random number generator in R works? That would be a bold move indeed! We know that the probability of observing surprising data, assuming the null hypothesis is true, has a maximum of 5% when our alpha is 0.05. What we can conclude, based on our data, is that we have observed an extreme outcome, that should be considered surprising. But such an outcome is not impossible when the null-hypothesis is true. And in this case, we really don’t even have an alternative hypothesis that can explain the data (beyond perhaps evil hackers taking over the website where you downloaded R).", null, "This misconception can be expressed in many forms. For example, one version states that the p-value is the probability that the data were generated by chance. Note that this is just a sneaky way to say: The p-value is the probability that the null hypothesis is true, and we observed an extreme p-value just due to random variation. As we explained above, we can observe extreme data when we are basically 100% certain that the null-hypothesis is true (the random number generator in R works as it should), and seeing extreme data once should not make you think the probability that the random number generator in R is working is less than 5%, or in other words, that the probability that the random number generator in R is broken is now more than 95%.\n\nRemember: P-values are a statement about the probability of data, not a statement about the probability of a theory or a hypothesis.\n\n3) Why a significant p-value does not mean that a practically important effect has been discovered.\n\nIf we plot the null-model for a very large sample size (N = 100000) we see that even very small mean differences (here, a mean difference of 0.01) will be considered ‘surprising’. We have such a large sample size, that all means we observe should fall very close around 0, and even a difference of 0.01 is already considered surprising, due to our substantial level of accuracy because we collected so much data.", null, "Note that nothing about the definition of a p-value changes: It still correctly indicates that, if the null-hypothesis is true, we have observed data that should be considered surprising. However, just because data is surprising, does not mean we need to care about it. It is mainly the verbal label ‘significant’ that causes confusion here – it is perhaps less confusing to think of a ‘significant’ effect as a ‘surprising’ effect (as long as the null-model is realistic - which is not automatically true).\n\nThis example illustrates why you should always report and interpret effect sizes, with hypothesis tests. This is also why it is useful to complement a hypothesis test with an equivalence test, so that you can conclude the observed difference is surprisingly small if there is no difference, but the observed difference is also surprisingly closer to zero, assuming there exists any effect we consider meaningful (and thus, we can conclude the effect is equivalence to zero).\n\n4) If you have observed a significant finding, the probability that you have made a Type 1 error (a false positive) is not 5%.\n\nAssume we collect 20 observations, and Omniscient Jones tells us the null-hypothesis is true. This means we are sampling from the following distribution:", null, "If this is our reality, it means that 100% of the time that we observe a significant result, it is a false positive. Thus, 100% of our significant results are Type 1 errors. What the Type 1 error rate controls, is that from all studies we perform when the null is true, not more than 5% of our observed mean differences will fall in the red tail areas. But when they have fallen in the tail areas, they are always a Type 1 error. After observing a significant result, you can not say it has a 5% probability of being a false positive. But before you collect data, you can say you will not conclude there is an effect, when there is no effect, more than 5% of the time, in the long run.\n\n5) One minus the p-value is not the probability of observing another significant result when the experiment is replicated.\n\nIt is impossible to calculate the probability that an effect will replicate, based on the p-value, and as a consequence, the p-value can not inform us about the p-value we will observe in future studies. When we have observed a p-value of 0.05, it is not 95% certain the finding will replicate. Only when we make additional assumptions (e.g., the assumption that the alternative effect is true, and the effect size that was observed in the original study is exactly correct) can we model the p-value distribution for future studies.\n\nIt might be useful to visualize the one very specific situation when the p-value does provide the probability that future studies will provide a significant p-value (even though in practice, we will never know if we are in this very specific situation). In the figure below we have a null-model and alternative model for 150 observations. The observed mean difference falls exactly on the threshold for the significance level. This means the p-value is 0.05. In this specific situation, it is also 95 probable that we will observe a significant result in a replication study, assuming there is a true effect as specified by the alternative model. If this alternative model is true, 95% (1-p) of the observed means will fall on the right side of the observed mean in the original study (we have a statistical power of 95%), and only 5% of the observed means will fall in the blue area (which contains the Type 2 errors).", null, "This very specific situation is almost always not your reality. It is not true when any other alternative hypothesis is correct. And it is not true when the the null-hypothesis is true. In short, the p-value basically never, except for one very specific situation when the alternative hypothesis is true and of a very specific size you will never know you are in, gives the probability that a future study will once again yield a significant result.\n\nConclusion\n\nProbabilities are confusing, and the interpretation of a p-value is not intuitive. Grammar is also confusing, and not intuitive. But where we practice grammar in our education again and again and again until you get it, we don’t practice the interpretation of p-values again and again and again until you get it. Some repetition is probably needed. Explanations of what p-values mean are often verbal, and if there are figures, they use t-value distributions we are unfamiliar with. Instead of complaining that researchers don’t understand what p-values mean, I think we should try to explain common misconceptions multiple times, in multiple ways.\n\nHere you can find the R code for the graphs.\n\nThis post originally was published on December 5th 2017 on daniellakens.blogspot.de/.

On the other hand, the digital system requires expensive components such as a CPU, a DSP, etc.\n\nSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION\n\nThe present invention aims at reducing the cost of the above described control apparatus.

The control unit can comprise a command value generation unit for generating a voltage command value for the inverter based on the non-matching state between the converted command value and the converted detection value; and a selection unit for selecting the output of one of the first conversion unit and the command value generating unit based on the selection signal and for outputting the selected output as the control voltage.\n\nA method of controlling an output voltage according to the present invention is to perform feedback control of the output voltage of an inverter which drives an AC machine, and includes the steps of converting the command value for the output voltage of the inverter into a pulse density; converting the detection value of the output voltage of the inverter into a pulse density; detecting a deviation of the converted command value from the converted detection value, and generating a control voltage for use in controlling the inverter based on the detected deviation.\n\nThis output voltage control method can further comprise the step of altering the resolution of the conversion to a pulse density of at least one of the command value and detection value.\n\nThis output voltage control method can further comprise the steps of detecting a polarity of a difference between the converted command value and the converted detection values; providing the deviation as digital data based on the detected polarity; and generating a control voltage based on the obtained deviation.\n\nThis output voltage control method can further comprise the steps of generating a selection signal according to a time period of non-matching state between the converted command value and the converted detection value; generating a voltage command value for the inverter based on the non-matching state; and selecting one of the command value converted into a pulse density and the voltage command value according to the selection signal, and then outputting the selected value as the control voltage.\n\nAccording to the present invention, a voltage command value is converted into a pulse density (digital data), and an output voltage detection value is also converted into a pulse density (digital data) using a Δ-Σ modulation converter, and an output voltage detection value is also converted into a pulse density (digital data) using, for example, a Δ-Σ modulation converter. Therefore, a controller can be designed as digital hardware. It is a combination of an analog system and a digital system, and can be realized as a low-cost device.\n\nBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS\n\nFIG. 1 shows the configuration according to the first embodiment of the output voltage control apparatus according to the present invention;\n\nFIG. 2 shows the configuration of a variation of the first embodiment of the present invention;\n\nFIG. 3 shows the configuration according to the second embodiment of the output voltage control apparatus according to the present invention; and\n\nFIG. 4 shows the configuration of a variation of the second embodiment of the present invention.\n\nDESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT\n\nFIG. 1 shows the configuration according to the first embodiment of the output voltage control apparatus according to the present invention.\n\nAs shown in FIG. 1, the output voltage control apparatus comprises a pulse density modulation type converter (PDM) 1; a non-matching detection circuit (exclusive OR circuit: EOR circuit) 2; an AND circuit (polarity detection circuit) 3; up and down counters (UDC) 4A and 4B; shift (multiplication) circuits 5A and 5B; an adder 6; and a Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7. In FIG. 1, V* indicates a first voltage command value input to the control apparatus; V** indicates a second voltage command value output from the control apparatus toward an inverter, etc.; CLK indicates a clock signal; Tc indicates a carrier signal; Vist indicates a voltage detection value. The Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7 can be a commercially available sequential serial comparison type A/D converter, etc. The voltage detection value Vist is a detection value of the voltage output by the PWM inverter, etc. to drive an AC motor.\n\nThe voltage command value V* is input to the PDM 1 and converted into a pulse density. The voltage detection value Vist is input to the Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7 and is also converted into a pulse density. The non-matching detection circuit 2 obtains the deviation (or difference) between the output of the PDM 1 and the output from the Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7. The deviation and the output from the PDM 1 are input to the AND circuit 3. Since the AND circuit 3 outputs signals having a different polarity depending on the levels of the two input signals, it is determined whether or not the voltage command value is larger than the detection value (non-matching polarity detecting function).\n\nNext, the output from the AND circuit 3, the output from the non-matching detection circuit 2, and the carrier signal Tc are input to the UDCs 4A and 4B, and the deviation is obtained as digital data. The signal obtained by the UDC 4A functions as a proportional element for output control. Since the UDC 4B feeds its output back to its input terminal, the obtained signal functions as an integral element for output control (integral control function). If only a proportional element or an integral element is required, only the one corresponding UDC is required.\n\nThe output of the UDCs 4A and 4B are respectively input to the shift circuits 5A and 5B, respectively assigned the amounts of shift signals (shifting amounts) SF1 and SF2. Therefore, a shifting operation such as a multiplication by 2n is performed depending the amount of the shift signal. Furthermore, the result of the shift operations are added by the adder 6 and provided to, for example, a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit (not shown in FIG. 1) as a voltage command value (second voltage command value) to generate a gate signal for a switching element of an electric power converter including an inverter. According to the gate signal, the AC motor is controlled to perform a predetermined operation based on the voltage command value.\n\nFIG. 2 shows a variation of the first embodiment.\n\nThis variation is obtained by adding, as shown in FIG. 2, dividers (frequency dividers) 8A and 8B for dividing the clock signal CLK of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1. The detailed description of operation is omitted here because the other units are the same as those described with respect to FIG. 1. Since using the dividers 8A and 8B avoids the necessity for quick-response circuits for the PDM 1 and Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7, a lower cost control apparatus can be successfully realized. Although two dividers 8A and 8B are provided in this example, just one divider can be used for either one of the PDM 1 and the Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7.\n\nFIG. 3 shows the configuration of the output voltage control apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention.\n\nAs shown in FIG. 3, the output voltage control apparatus according to the second embodiment comprises the PDM 1; the non-matching detection circuit 2; a hold (flipflop, or latch) circuit 3A; the Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7; a mono-stable circuit 9; and a data selection circuit 10. Since the functions of the PDM 1, non-matching detection circuit 2, and Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7 are the same as those according to the first embodiment, the descriptions are omitted here. The signals V*, V**, CLK, and Vist are the same as those shown in FIG. 1.\n\nThe voltage command value V* is input to the PDM 1 and converted into a pulse density. The voltage detection value Vist is input to the Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7 and converted into a pulse density thereby. The non-matching detection circuit 2 obtains the deviation of the output of the PDM 1 from the output of the Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7. Up to this step, the operations are the same as those shown in FIG. 1.\n\nIn FIG. 3, the hold (latch) circuit 3A detects the polarity when the output voltage command value does not match the output voltage detection value, and generates the voltage command value as digital data. Using the hold circuit 3A, the above described proportional control function or integral control function can be realized. The output of the non-matching detection circuit 2 is input to the mono-stable circuit 9 from which a signal corresponding to the non-matching time period is output. The outputs of the mono-stable circuit 9, hold circuit 3A, and PDM 1 are input to the data selection circuit 10. The data selection circuit 10 comprises two AND circuits. The output of the hold circuit 3A and the output of the mono-stable circuit 9 are input to one of the AND circuits. The output of the PDM 1 and the inverse output of the mono-stable circuit 9 are input to the other AND circuit. Therefore, the data selection circuit 10 selects the output from the hold circuit 3A during the hold period in which the mono-stable circuit 9 operates, and selects the output from the PDM 1 in other periods. The output of the data selection circuit 10 is provided to, for example, a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit (not shown in FIG. 3) as a voltage command value (second voltage command value), and output as a gate signal for the switching element of the electric power converter including an inverter as in the case shown in FIG. 1.\n\nFIG. 4 shows a variation of the second embodiment of the present invention.\n\nIn this variation, as in the example shown in FIG. 2, the dividers 8A and 8B for dividing the clock signal CLK are provided for the PDM 1 and the Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7 to avoid the necessity for quick-response circuits for the PDM 1 or Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7, thereby realizing a low-cost apparatus. Since the other units are the same as those shown in FIG. 3, further descriptions are omitted here. As described above by referring to FIG. 2, only one of the dividers 8A and 8B can be provided for either of the PDM 1 or the Δ-Σ modulation type converter 7.\n\nAccording to the present invention, the output voltage command value and the output voltage detection value are converted into digital data, and the control apparatus can be designed as a digital hardware configuration. Therefore, the control apparatus can be realized as a simple and low-cost device." ]

This is used internally in some algorithms.\n\n```/**\n* @var {Uint8Array} a\n*/\nrshift1(a);\n// `a` is half double its previous value```\n\nThe default behavior is congruent to JavaScript's `>>` operator.

Use `msb()` to check if the output is negative.\n\n```/**\n* @var {Uint8Array} a\n* @var {Uint8Array} b\n*/\nconst c: Uint8Array = bignum.sub(a, b);```\n\n#### bignum.xor()\n\nReturns `a ^ b` (bitwise XOR).\n\n```/**\n* @var {Uint8Array} a\n* @var {Uint8Array} b\n*/\nconst c: Uint8Array = bignum.xor(a, b);```\n\n## Limitations\n\n### Potentially Dangerous on 32-bit Applications\n\n32-bit v8 (and, presumably, a lot of other 32-bit implementations) do things wrong, and our implementation might be variable-time on it.\n\nSpecifically, the most significant bit of a 32-bit integer distinguishes values from pointers. As a result, accessing the highest bit of a 32-bit number in 32-bit JavaScript engines (such as v8) is potentially variable-time.\n\nTo mitigate this risk, the `int32` class was created which wraps operates on 16-bit limbs (wrapping `Uint16Array`).\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n### But Why Though?", null, "For science!\n\nThis is a proof-of-concept library, that will eventually implement all of the algorithms described in the accompanying blog post.\n\nThe main purpose of this library is to demonstrate the concepts in a programming language widely accessible outside of the cryptography orthodoxy (which today is largely C and sometimes Python, and hopefully soon Rust).\n\n### Can I use this in a project?\n\nHold off until v1.0.0 is tagged before you even think about relying on it for anything.

We call these diagonal subhomogeneous (DSH) algebras.\nUsing homomorphisms that also exhibit a kind of diagonal structure, we study certain limits of DSH algebras. Our first result is that a simple limit of DSH algebras with diagonal maps has stable rank one.  As an application we show that whenever $X$ is a compact Hausdorff space and $\\sigma$ is a minimal homeomorphism thereof, the crossed product algebra $C^*(\\mathbb{Z},X,\\sigma)$ has stable rank one. We also define mean dimension in the context of these limits. Our second result is that mean dimension zero implies $\\mathcal{Z}$-stability for simple separable limits of DSH algebras with diagonal maps. We also show that the tensor product of any two simple separable limit algebras of this kind is $\\mathcal{Z}$-stable.\n\nA copy of the thesis can be found here: Lutley-thesis" ]

This differential\nequation is a good approximation when θ is small.\nBy defining ω (omega) as the derivative ω = θ˙, we can convert this single second-order\nODE into a system of two first-order ODEs,\nθ˙ = ω\nω˙ = − g\nL\nθ.\nThis system of ODEs is linear and therefore can be written in matrix form, θ˙\nω˙\n =\n 0 1\n− g\nL\n0\nθ\nω\n .\nAlternatively, we can write it as\nx˙ = Ax\nwhere\nx =\nθ\nω\n , A =\n 0 1\n− g\nL\n0\n .\nWe will solve the system of differential equations over the time interval 0 ≤ t ≤ T for\nT = 10 with initial conditions θ(0) = 0, ω(0) = 0.5.\n(5 points) Problem 1: MATLAB Grader\nThe forward Euler formula for a system of linear differential equations is\nxk+1 = xk + ∆tAxk.\nImplement the forward Euler method with ∆t = 0.005 to solve the initial value problem\nfor the pendulum.

At each time step of backward Euler, we must solve\nthis linear system with the same matrix I −∆tA but a different right-hand side vector\nxk. This is a good candidate for LU decomposition.\n(a) Perform an LU decomposition on the matrix I − ∆tA with ∆t = 0.005 to obtain\nmatrices L, U, and P. Store the matrix L in the variable ans2.\n(b) Implement the backward Euler method with ∆t = 0.005 to solve the initial value\nproblem for the pendulum. At each time step, you should use the LU decomposition\nto solve the linear system.

The Leapfrog method is based on using a central difference to approximate\nthe derivative:\nxk+1 − xk−1\n2∆t\n= f(xk) ⇒ xk+1 = xk−1 + 2∆tf(xk).\nThis method is explicit like forward Euler because the formula we end up with only\ndepends on past solution values. A major difference between this method and the Euler\nmethods is that it is a multistep method – the iteration actually uses two past solution\nvalues: xk−1 and xk. This means that each time we generate a new iterate xk+1, we need\nto use the ‘current’ solution value xk as well as the one before it, xk−1.\nSince this method is a multistep method, we cannot start the iteration with just the\ninitial values because the formula to compute x1 is\nx1 = x−1 + 2∆tf(x0),\nwhich is a problem since x−1 isn’t defined. To get around this, we perform a single step\nof Forward Euler to calculate x1, and then switch over to Leapfrog to calculate x2 and\nthe remaining iterates.\nImplement the Leapfrog method with ∆t = 0.005 to solve the initial value problem for\nthe pendulum.

Use the quiver function to draw a grid\nof arrows with components (θ˙, ω˙), where θ˙ and ω˙ are given by the ODEs of the pendulum\nsystem. Include labels for the axes. Unlike the activity, you do not need to draw axes.\nYou should see something (somewhat) like the following:\n-0.6 -0.4 -0.2 0 0.2 0.4 0.6\n-0.6\n-0.4\n-0.2\n0\n0.2\n0.4\n0.6\nThe exact solution to the system of differential equations with initial conditions\nθ(0) = 0 and ω(0) = 0.5 is\nθ(t) = 0.5\n\nL\ng\nsin\n(√\ng\nL\nt\n)\nω(t) = 0.5 cos\n(√\ng\nL\nt\n)\nCreate a vector of the exact solution θ(t) for all times from t = 0 to t = 10 in steps of\n∆t = 0.005. Do the same for ω(t). Use these vectors to add a trajectory to the phase\nportrait. Make the color of the trajectory different from the color of the arrows.\nWe will now construct another phase portrait, but instead of drawing a trajectory for the\nexact solution we will draw trajectories using numerical solutions.\n(a) Begin exactly as in Problem 6.

Include a legend so that the methods can\nbe identified. In order to include the trajectories in your legend and not the quiver\narrows, you may want to look at the documentation for the legend command in the\nsection “Included Subset of Graphics Objects in Legend”.\nNonlinear Pendulum\nThe linear pendulum equation is based on the small angle approximation sin(θ) ≈ θ.\nWithout this approximation, the equation is more accurate and becomes\nθ¨ = − g\nL\nsin(θ).\nThis second-order ODE is nonlinear and so is more difficult to solve. In particular,\nimplicit methods like backward Euler are harder to implement for nonlinear ODEs.\nThis equation can also be converted to a system of differential equations in terms of θ and\nω = θ˙. We will solve the system of differential equations for the nonlinear pendulum over\nthe same time interval 0 ≤ t ≤ T for T = 10 with the same initial conditions θ(0) = 0,\nω(0) = 0.5.\n(10 points) Problem 8: MATLAB Grader\nUse the MATLAB function ode45 to solve the initial value problem for the nonlinear\npendulum. Make it so that ode45 outputs the solutions at equally spaced times from\nt = 0 to t = 10 in steps of ∆t = 0.005.

Then create a column vector named ans10\nthat contains the values of ω(t).\nConstruct a phase portrait for the nonlinear pendulum. Use meshgrid to generate a grid\nof points. Use 25 equally-spaced points for θ between −2pi and 2pi. Use 20 equally-spaced\npoints between −8 and 8 for ω. Use the quiver function to draw a grid of arrows. The\nresulting picture should look similar to what you obtained in Problem 6 in the middle of\nthe plot, but different around the edges (this is due to the nonlinearity of the system).\nUse ode45 to solve the system at the same times as in Problem 8 and with the following\nvariety of initial conditions:\n• θ(0) = 0, ω(0) = 0.5\n• θ(0) = 2, ω(0) = 1\n• θ(0) = pi, ω(0) = −10−4\n• θ(0) = 2pi, ω(0) = −7\n• θ(0) = −2pi, ω(0) = 7\nAdd these solution trajectories to the phase portrait. These solution trajectories should\nflow with the arrows from quiver. Set the axes to display from −2pi < θ < 2pi and\n−8 < ω < 8. You do not need to add a legend because it is self-explanatory which\ntrajectory belongs to which initial condition.\nThese trajectories come in two varieties: those that repeatedly encircle the origin, and\nthose that do not. Describe the behavior of the pendulum for each of these two types of\ntrajectories.

A method of analysis for predicting the i n i t i a t i o n and propagation of fractures in Oilsand has been developed. The prediction of fracture i n i t i a t i o n involves a stress analysis of the domain. Analysis of fracture propagation requires a coupled stress and flow analysis'. In the method proposed herein, the stress and flow analyses are f i r s t considered as two separate analyses that are later coupled through volume compatibility. For the f l u i d flow analysis, the fractures are appro-ximated as parabolic in shape. Fracture propagation has been analyzed incrementally, the direction of propagation being perpendicular to the computed minor principal stress direction at the tip of the fracture. The results are in good agreement with both laboratory and f i e l d exper-ience. The results indicate that the presence of a propagating fracture causes significant changes in both the magnitude and orientation of the minor principal stress, at the tip of the fracture. As a result, a path of propagation that is significantly different from the i n i t i a l in-situ minor principal stress plane direction has been observed. The rate of pumping of f l u i d , i s an important factor in predicting the propagation behaviour of fractures in Oilsand. In fracture operations carried out at shallow depths, that involve high rates of pumping, the fractures must be dominently horizontal in orientation. This is a result of the increase in f l u i d carrying capacity of the horizontal fractures, observed with propagation.

Oilsand is comprised of a dense sand matrix with its pore spaces f i l l e d with bitumen, water and free or dissolved gasses(7). The presence of bitumen reduces the effective permeability of the material and the presence of dissolved gasses makes sampling and testing problems unique to this material(3). Oilsand, at zero stresses, possess negligible tensile strength(17). Hence, virtually no energy is expended in creating an open mode fracture in such a material. The material behaviour of Oilsand is complicated being non-linear, inelastic and stress level dependent(6). Fracture Mechanics analyses traditionally deal with materials of considerable tensile strength and the stress-strain behaviour is often idealized as linear-elastic. Thus, the applicability of fracture initiation and propagation c r i t e r i a based on Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics(LEFM) theories, to the fluid fracture initiation and propagation in Oilsand, is questionable. Fluid induced fracture propagation is associated with the rapid transmission of flu i d inside the open fracture. Flow of fl u i d is accompanied by a drop in fl u i d pressure due to viscous dissipation of energy. The resulting fluid pressure distribution 2 is dependent on the size of the opening created and vice versa. Hence, the prediction of f l u i d fracture behaviour involves a coupled stress and fluid flow analysis. The purpose of this thesis is to develope a method for predicting initiation and propagation of fluid fracturing in Oilsand, where fracture propagation is a coupled problem of stress and f l u i d flow analyses. 1.2 The concept of fluid fracturing and i t s objectives The concept of generating fluid fractures in s o i l or rock by injecting fluids at high pressures and rates of flow, often referred to as \"Hydraulic Fracturing\" in the literature, has been recognized by the Petroleum Industry since 1947(30). In i t s simplest form f l u i d fracturing consists of sealing off a section of a wellbore and injecting fluid, at sufficiently high pressure .and rate, to overcome the in-situ stresses and the tensile strength of the formation until an open fracture is created at the wellbore. This fracture is then extended by continued injection of the fracturing flu i d . The prime objective of such a process is to either enhance the effective reservoir permeability or create paths for introducing steam or air for heating the viscous hydrocarbons. In addition to the in-situ o i l recovery processes, fl u i d fracturing has also been employed in underground waste disposal and geothermal energy recovery programs(26). 3 1.3 The interpretation of fluid induced fracture data. In general, the variation of injection pressure measured at the ground surface and the volume of fl u i d pumped in, with time, are recorded throughout the entire fracture operation. In open hole fluid fracture operations, sealing off a section of the wellbore is achieved by using a straddle packer configuration. This consists of two rubber sealing elements, at a set distance apart, which are inflated to isolate the zone of pressurization from the rest of the hole. Perforated steel casings which contain compression packers to permit sealing off a section are also being used. It is commonly assumed that the pressure loss due to flow of fluid and leakages inside the wellbore is balanced by the gain in pressure head with depth(37). Based on this assumption, the injection pressure measured at the ground surface is essentially the same pressure at the sealed off section, at some depth. In some . fracture operations ground displacements are also measured to aid in the estimation of the extent and the orientation of a created fracture. The variation of injection pressure with time provides a preliminary means of interpretation of the initiat i o n , propagation and the orientation of a fracture. Two such idealized curves obtained for br i t t l e rock and Oilsand are shown in fig(1.1). The i n i t i a l abrupt drop in the injection pressure concomitant with an increase in the rate of flow defines the Breakdown pressure(BDP) of the formation, or the fracture initiation pressure. It is believed that the pressure at which a Fig (1.1) Idealized injection pressure - rate histories for (a) brittle rock (b) oilsand 5 fl u i d f i l l e d fracture closes, under a decreasing state of pressure, nearly defines the minor principal total stress across the fracture faces. The injection pressure observed after an instantaneous shut down of pumps(i.e.zero flow rate), is defined as the Instantaneous Shut-in pressure(ISP). Under above conditions, the fluid pressure in the fracture just balances the stresses forcing the closure of the fracture and hence is a measure of the magnitude of the minor principal total stress. The difference in magnitude of the Breakdown pressure and the Instantaneous Shut-in pressure, under low rates of flow and with low viscosity fluids, is considered to be the tensile strength of the formation. Any pressure higher than the Instantaneous Shut-in pressure causes a fl u i d pressure greater than the stresses forcing the closure, and fracture propagation takes place. This is defined. as the Fracture Propagation pressure(FPP). The various pressures defined above are illustrated in f i g ( 1 . 1 ) together with the flow rate variations with time to provide a better understanding. It has been shown both by laboratory and f i e l d experiments that f l u i d induced fractures propagate in planes perpendicular to the in-situ minor principal stress direction(4,11,31,36). Other criteria(28,39) based on energy considerations have also been proposed . for the direction of propagation and will be discussed in Chapter 2. Assuming that fractures propagate in planes perpendicular to the in-situ minor principal stress direction, and considering 6 an idealized vertical-horizontal principal stress orientation, the fracture orientation can be identified by making a comparison ' of the Instantaneous Shut-in pressure with the overburden pressure corresponding to the depth of the fracture. Hence, i f , ISP £ oy fractures are horizontal i f , ISP < av fractures are vertical where, av is the overburden pressure corresponding to the depth of fracturing. In the absence of ISP data, FPP data are used for the above purpose. 1.4 The scope of the thesis The modelling of fluid induced fracture behaviour, as mentioned in Section 1.1, requires a coupled stress and fluid flow analysis. The analysis can be simplified, by f i r s t separating the fluid flow analysis from the stress analysis. The propagation of a fluid f i l l e d fracture is associated with flow of fluid to f i l l the newly created volume. Thus, at any given time, with appropriate assumptions regarding the leakage of fluid to the surrounding region, the volume of fluid pumped in is seen to be directly related to the volume of the cavity. By imposing this compatibility condition the stress and the flow analyses are coupled together. The stress analysis is performed using a non-linear, incremental elastic finite element program. Fracture propagation 7 is analysed incrementally, taking account of the changes in orientation of the fractures during propagation. The path of propagation of a fracture, in a given domain with given i n i t i a l stress conditions, is not known beforehand. For this reason, the analyses are performed with a mesh reorientation process that allow for the changes in orientation of fractures. The mesh reorientation process is carried out at the end of each load increment. For the fl u i d flow analysis the quasi-static fracture is assumed to be represented by a series of parallel plate segments. Between each segment the flow is described by parallel plate flow equations. The fl u i d flow analysis predicts the variation of velocity of propagation of the fracture with the rate of flow of fl u i d inside the fracture and the resulting fluid pressure distribution, at quasi-static(i.e. equilibrium) fracture lengths. 1.5 Organization of the thesis. The thesis consists of seven chapters each of which serves a selected purpose. In Chapter 2, a review of previous work is given with special consideration of the fracture c r i t e r i a , problem idealizations, numerical modelling techniques and the effects of flu i d flow on propagation behaviour. The proposed methods of Fracture Mechanics analysis and the Fluid flow analysis are presented in Chapter 3. 8 Chapter 4 summarizes the mathematical formulations used in the development of the finite element program. The predictions of the fin i t e element fracture model are compared to existing theoretical solutions and laboratory and f i e l d observations in Chapter 5. A summary of the work together with the major conclusions is presented in Chapter 6. Recommendations for further research work are outlined in Chapter 7. 9 CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF PREVIOUS WORK 2.1 Introduction Since the introduction of the concept of fluid fracture in 1947, a considerable amount of research has been done on this subject. Classical fracture mechanics consider materials that are strong in tension. Rock is strong in tension whereas soil is not. As a result, a greater portion of the research work on flu i d induced fracture behaviour is appropriate to rock rather than s o i l . Nevertheless, i t is of interest to examine the basic fracture c r i t e r i a , problem idealizations and the numerical techniques that are employed in the analysis of fl u i d fracture in rock. Fluid fracture propagation modelled using coupled stress and f l u i d flow analyses are briefly reviewed. The change in orientation of fractures, which has lead to injection pressure time records that are d i f f i c u l t to interpret, are examined. Further, the theoretical models developed for predicting the ground displacements are also reviewed. 2.2 Fracture initiation An extensive analysis on fracture initiation pressures including theoretical formulations as well as experimental observations has been reported by Haimson and Fairhurst(20). Rock is idealized as a b r i t t l e , elastic, homogeneous, isotropic linear and porous material. The theoretical formulations are based on the analogy that exists between the elasticity of a porous material and thermoelasticity. Fluid flow through the 10 pores is assumed to take place according to Darcy's law. A distinction between the penetrating and non-penetrating fracture fluids has been incorporated into the theoretical formulations. In the case of penetrating fluids, in the vicinity of the wellbore wall, a pore fluid pressure that is equal in magnitude to the pressure at the wellbore face, p^, is assumed. For non-penetrating fluids, a pore fluid pressure equal to the i n i t i a l in-situ pore pressure, p 0, which is different from the f l u i d pressure at the wellbore face, is assumed. The effective normal stress (compressive taken positive), for the above two cases, is expressed as; for non-penetrating fluids; a'= a - po 2.1 for penetrating fluids; CT'= a - p b 2.2 where, a'= effective normal stress a = total normal stress If the tensile stress at rupture is denoted by -o|, fracture initiation occurs when; a'<c -at' 2.3 Therefore, i f aQ'\\$ a vertical fracture results and i f -o{ a horizontal fracture results. where, o'Q is the effective circumferential stress and oz' is the effective a x i a K i . e . vertical) stress in the vicinity of the wellbore face. 11 The c r i t i c a l fracture initiation pressures derived from the stress conditions for a cylindrical hole in an infinite medium, and for the fluid conditions described by equations 2.1 & 2.2 are as follows; (a) For vertical fracturing with penetrating fluids; pP = at + 3 a2 ~ ai -p0 2.4 [2 - a{(l-2*)/(1 -*v )} ] and with non-penetrating fluids; p\"P= at + 3 az - a, -p 0 2.5 Note that a l l symbols are defined after equation 2.8. (b) For horizontal fracturing away from the ends of the hole, with penetrating fluids; Pc = gt + P 3 ~Po 2.6 [\\-a{(\\-2v)/{\\-v)}] For non-penetrating fluids the pore fluid pressure everywhere is equal to the i n i t i a l in-situ pore fluid pressure. Thus, the application of a wellbore pressure does not influence the magnitude of the axial effective stress. As reported by Haimson & Fairhurst(20), fracture initiation for this case is possible only i f the wellbore wall is prefractured or notched. (c) For horizontal fracture initiation near the ends of a pressurized hole with solid packers and penetrating fluids; D V „ _ Pc = °\\ + \" 3 \"Po 2.7 [ l . 9 4 - o { ( l - 2 t v ) / ( l - r v ) } ] and with non-penetrating fluids; 12 c = \"Po 2.8 .94 where, Po = i n i t i a l pore fluid pressure = wellbore pressure c r i t i c a l initiation pressure with penetrating fluids . P C K = c r i t i c a l initiation pressure with non-penetrating fluids = maximum horizontal principal total stresses(comp +ve) a2 = minimum horizontal principal total stresses(comp +ve) o3 = vertical principal total stress(comp.+ve) = the fl u i d pressure p nP in equation 2.5, of a thick walled hollow cylinder under no lateral loads(i.e. fractured vertically) aj = the fluid pressure pcnP in equation 2.8, of a thick walled hollow cylinder under horizontal lateral loads and a negligible vertical load(i.e. fractured horizontally). a = Biot's constant for a poro-elastic material. This is defined as [1-material matrix compressibility/ material bulk compressibility]. v = Poisson's ratio The c r i t i c a l fracture initiation pressures obtained for penetrating fluids are reported to be lower than those obtained for non-penetrating fluids, in theoretical predictions as well as experimental observations. In wellbores sealed with rubber packers the initiated fractures are found to be vertical 13 irrespective of the stress conditions. Horizontal fracture initiation is reported to be possible only with rigid packers. The f l u i d pressure that acts on the packer faces results in an axial load which is transmitted to rock as a boundary load at the wellbore face. With rigid packers that are in contact with the wellbore wall, this axial load is transmitted to rock as a shear load. Rubber is a liquid-solid elastomer. Rubber packers, under the above axial load would apply a similar radial load to rock. The application of a radial load would have a negative effect on the stress concentrations in the vertical direction and the chances of horizontal fracture initiation would thus be minimized(20). The placement of a flexible rubber liner at the wellbore face prevents the penetration of f l u i d into the material. Fluid fracture experiments carried out on rock samples with and without rubber liners are reported by Schonfeldt & Fairhurst(36). The magnitude of the fluid pressure required for fracturing of the lined samples are about 100% higher than those for the unlined samples. Furthermore, the magnitude of the initiation pressure for the unlined samples increased with increasing rate of pressurization. Based on the above findings, the authors suggest an initiation mechanism that is strongly dependent on fl u i d intrusion into the medium. Fluid intrusion into rock through a multitude of fine cracks eventually leading to a macroscopic fracture on planes perpendicular to the minor principal stress direction is proposed. Bjerrum et al(5) report the results of the f i e l d 14 permeability tests(i.e.falling head) carried out in s i l t y sands found near the Dead Sea area in Israel. The results indicate a rapid increase in the in-situ coefficient of permeability once the water pressure exceed a certain c r i t i c a l value. These high in-situ coefficients of permeability were found to be inconsistent with the type of material found in the area. The above inconsistency lead Bjerrum et al(5) to believe that the apparent increase in permeability is due to hydraulic fracture taking place in s o i l . As a result, theoretical studies were undertaken to predict safe water pressures to be used in in-situ permeability tests. The theoretical study carried out by Bjerrum et al(5) is based on the effective stress approach, the pore water pressure varying logarithmetically with the radial distance from the wellbore wall. The c r i t i c a l water pressures causing fracture have been derived for a radial plane strain domain consisting of a linear elastic material. The f i e l d permeability test involves the installation(by driving) of a piezometer which alters the state of stress around i t , the magnitude of which is material dependent. Bjerrum et al(5) take account of these stress changes by introducing two material dependent coefficients a & ^ , in equations 2.9 & 2.10. Furthermore, when the piezometer is pressurized, s o i l could deform outwards and separate from i t . Such a condition is referred to as a 'Blow-off condition. Fracturing could take place prior to, or, after 'Blow-off. If fracturing takes place after 'Blow-off, the resulting changes encountered in the state of stress and the geometrical boundary conditions of the problem would significantly influence the c r i t i c a l pressure for 15 fracturing.' For this reason, the c r i t i c a l water pressure for hydraulic fracture is considered to be the lesser of the c r i t i c a l pressures for fracturing, computed prior to and after 'Blow-off. The c r i t i c a l excess water pressures for fracturing, for the various stress conditions are as follows; (a) for vertical fracturing(i.e. minor principal stress horizontal) prior to blow-off; [p \" PolA; = U\\-v)/v}[(\\-a)K0 + ot'/av'] 2.9 subjected to the condition {(l-»')/i>}[(1-a)Ko + o[/a^] < (1 + ^8 )K0 and for vertical fracturing after blow-off; [p \" PcJAj = (1-a)[(2+ (4 -a)K0 + o{ /aj ] 2.10 subjected to the condition K 0O+p) < (1-a) [ (2-a+ f, )K0 + o[/o^] (b) for horizontal fracturing(i.e. minor principal stress vertical); [p \" p 0 ] / * v =1 2.11 where, a,p = coefficients to account for stress changes due to driving of a piezometer, dependent on the so i l type. v = Poisson's ratio K0 = earth pressure coefficient(at rest) = effective overburden pressure (compressive positive) af' = effective tensile stress of so i l at rupture 16 p - p0= excess pressure for fracturing The c r i t i c a l excess pressures based on the above equations, for different s o i l types are presented in Table 2.1. The values presented in Table.2.1 are based on a Poisson's ratio of 1/3. The observed c r i t i c a l pressures from in-situ permeability tests are reported to be in the range of values predicted by the above equations for the respective s o i l types. «. & ^ in Table 2.1, correspond to the same in equations 2.9 & 2.10.

Accordingly, in a porous medium, fracture initiation occurs when the boundary fl u i d .pressure f i r s t exceeds the total normal stress on a potential fracture plane, which outcrops on the boundary, by more than the tensile strength of the formation. The analysis considers penetrating fracture fluids. Accordingly, the stress 17 conditions for fracture initiation are identical to those given by equations 2.2 & 2.3. In summary, i t can be concluded that the magnitude of the flui d induced fracture initiation pressure, in a porous material, is strongly dependent on the penetration of fluid into the medium, being significantly greater for non-penetrating media. When either high viscosity fluids or low viscosity fluids at high rates of pumping are used, causing a partial non-penetrating condition, significantly higher fracture initiation pressures are observed. The orientation of the fracture is dependent on the orientation of the minor principal stress direction. 2.3 Fracture propagation Classical fracture mechanics considers three fracture modes; a tension mode and two shear modes which are shown in fi g ( 2 . l ) . Depending on the loading conditions, a fracture could propagate as a single mode fracture or a mixed mode fracture. This behaviour results in single mode as well as mixed mode Fracture Mechanics theories. These theories have found extensive application in predicting the conditions under which fl u i d fracture propagations occur and their possible paths of propagation, in materials strong in tension. 2.3.1 Theories of propagation Fracture mechanics analyses assess the stability of a fracture, in single mode propagation, by comparing the stress 18 mode-1 mode-2 mode-3 Fig{ 2.1) The different modes of fracturing 19 intensity factors in the vicinity of the tip of a fracture with the c r i t i c a l stress intensity factor for the material. The stress intensity factors are a function of the fracture length and the distribution and magnitude of the boundary loads(34). If the stress intensity factor(for the mode) computed at the tip of the fracture is greater than or equal to the c r i t i c a l stress intensity factor for the material, the fracture propagates. If not, the fracture would not propagate. The methods of assessment of the stability of a fracture, in mixed mode propagation, are briefly examined in the following sections (a) to (c). (a) The maximum hoop tensile stress theory(28) This theory investigates the stress state near the ti p of a fracture in plane stress or plane strain conditions under mode-1 and mode-2 loading. Fracture extension of a b r i t t l e material under slowly applied plane loads are considered. Fracture propagation starts at the tip of the fracture in the plane perpendicular to the greatest tension when the hoop tensile stress reaches a c r i t i c a l material value. Accordingly, ae =j^p Cos(t9/2)[K1Cos2(t9/2)-1 .5 K 2Sin ( 6) ] + 0 [ r 2 , r 2 , etc ] 2.12 r r e = 7^7Cos(t9/2)[K1Sin(c9)+K2(3Cos(t9)-l)] + t 9 [ r 2 , r 2 , e t c 3 2.13 K! = a[ 7TL ] 2 2.14 K2 = r U L ] 2 20 where, oQ = the hoop tesile stress Tre= the shear stress 0 = fracture branch angle w.r.t the i n i t i a l orientation K,2 = mode-1 & 2 stress intensity factors r = the radial distance measured from the fracture t i p L = fracture half length The direction of propagation is obtained by setting rre =0 From equation 2.13, i t can be seen that for a pure mode-1 f racture (i .e. K2 = 0), the fracture branch angle, 0 = 0 (0=±7r is a t r i v i a l solution for the equations). This indicates propagation in the direction of the i n i t i a l orientation. For any combination of mode-1 & 2 (i.e. K;1 ,K2 ^ 0) or for pure mode-2 (i.e. K,=0), 65 is different from 0. Further, i t is seen that at the tip of the fracture(r=0), equations 2.12 and 2.13 are singular. In this case, the maximum strain energy release rate is considered as the governing parameter. Fractures propagate in a direction where the strain energy release rate is a maximum, when this maximum reaches a c r i t i c a l material value. (b) The maximum strain energy release rate theory(27) 4 9/% 1-0A [(i+3Cos 2e) + G(0) = E[3+Cos20] 1+0/7T 8Cos0Sin0 K, K2+(9-5Cos20) K 2] 2.15 K, = a[ 7rL] 2 2.16 21 K2 = T [ T T L ] 2 where, G(0) = the strain energy release rate 0 = propagation branch angle E = Young's modulus of the elastic medium K = mode-1 & 2 stress intensity factors L = fracture half length a = tensile normal stress T = shear stress Again, i t can be shown that for pure mode-1(i.e. K2=0), fracture propagation occurs without change of i n i t i a l orientation. The mathematical singularity observed in the previous theory, at the tip of the fracture, is not present in this theory. The strain energy density near the point of propagation is the governing parameter in this theory. Fracture extension occurs in the direction of minimum strain energy density, when the strain energy density factor reaches a c r i t i c a l material value. (c) The minimum strain energy density factor theory(39) S(0) = r [dW/dA] = a,,K* +2 a 1 2 K, K 2+a 2 2K 2 2.17 where, a n = [ (1+cos0) (X -cost?) ]/l6G a 1 2= sin0[2 cos0-(# -1)]/16G a 2 2= [(* +1)(1-cos0)+(1+cos0)(3 COS0-1)]/16G where, 22 S(t?) = strain energy density factor dW = the incremental strain energy dA = the area of the element r = radial distance from the fracture tip G = shear modulus ^ = (3-4f) for plane strain <& = (3-*>)/(\\+v) for plane stress where v is the Poisson's ratio K 1 2 = stress intensity factors for modes-1 & 2 As in the previous theories for the special case of pure mode-1, fracture propagation is predicted in the direction of the i n i t i a l orientation. The strain energy density dW/dA, given by equation 2.17 above, becomes unbounded at r=0. From the examination of the above theories of mixed mode fracture propagation it follows that; (1) Initiation of fracture propagation and the direction of propagation are controlled by the stresses and strains in the vicinity of the tip of the fracture as opposed to the far f i e l d conditions. (2) Fracture extension without change of orientation is possible only if the loading conditions prefer a pure mode-1 fracture. 23 2.3.2 Path of propagation The path of propagation of a flu i d induced fracture has been assumed to be perpendicular to the in-situ minor principal stress direction(23,25,26,36,37,46). Laboratory (4,5) and f i e l d (11,31,36) experimental data obtained from small scale f l u i d fracture tests justify such an assumption. Dusseault(17) proposes the consideration of mixed mode fractures for the analysis of fluid fracture propagation in Oilsand. Wiles and Roegiers(45), incorporate the c r i t i c a l strain energy release rate theory for predicting the paths of propagation of fractures in rock. Pollard and Holzhausen(34) consider a two dimensional linear elastic model, and using the method of successive approximation (discussed in section 2.4) predict horizontal as well as vertical fractures, initiated at shallow depths, propagating towards the ground surface. These predictions are for materials that are strong in tension and are based on the significant increase in the normalized mode-2 stress intensity factors(i.e. K2/Ko0= rJltL/ph J~TfL= r/p b where, T=shear stress, L=fracture length/2 and p^ =wellbore pressure) observed at the tip of the fracture. For horizontal fractures a significant increase in the normalized mode-2 stress intensity factors is observed when the fracture propagates to a distance greater than about the magnitude of the depth of fracturing below the ground surface. During fracturing, with high temperature fluids(i.e. steam), heat is transferred to the material in the vicinity of the created fracture. Therefore, an analysis of the heating 24 patterns of the region of fracturing provides information on the location of the fracture in the ground. Based on the heating patterns observed by Jenkins & Kirkpatrick(1978), Dusseault(17) concludes that vertical and horizontal fractures climb towards the ground surface during propagation. Holzhausen et al(24) report a f l u i d fracturing test carried out in Athabasca Oilsand with ground displacement measurements. The ground response indicates that steam injection into the Oilsand is not a continuous process but rather is characterized by numerous episodic events. During the events the wellhead pressures dropped, injection rates increased and ground surface rose. The i n i t i a l propagation pressure based on the criterion described in Section 1.3 corresponds to that for a vertical fracture but in contrast the ground surface displacements have a symmetrical dome shaped distribution indictive of a horizontal fracture. After two weeks of steam stimulation the propagation pressure increased to that required for a horizontal fracture. The thermal expansion of the medium leading to the closure of the i n i t i a l l y created vertical fracture and an increase in the horizontal state of stress has been suggested as reasons for such observations. Dusseault(17) concludes that in massive hydraulic fracturing schemes in Oilsand, where fracture initiation favours vertical fractures, horizontal fractures would eventually prevail. The proposed hypothesis for such a behaviour is seen to be different from that suggested by Holzhausen et al(24). In Dusseault's view, the i n i t i a l fractures created are vertical. He 25 suggests that the high fluid pressures acting on the vertical fracture faces subsequently lead to an increase in the horizontal state of stress in the vicin i t y of the fracture. Once the horizontal stresses are increased beyond the vertical overburden total pressure, a horizontal fracture is initiated at the wellbore face and the injection pressure now corresponds to the overburden pressure which is higher than the i n i t i a l horizontal stress. If the rate of pumping is high enough to exceed the f l u i d carrying capacity of a fracture, an increase in the wellbore pressure results. The result would be an increase in the stresses around the fracture. Therefore, the effects of rate of pumping of f l u i d are important. However, to Dusseault, the variations in the rate of pumping are less dominant for the stress changes. The thermal strains induced by heating the reservoir, in Dusseault's view, are negligible. Dusseault and Simmons(l9) justify the above hypothesis by carrying out a two dimensional f i n i t e element analysis. The analysis considers three vertical and parallel fractures and predicts the altered state of stress due to the excess fl u i d pressures acting on the fracture faces. In summary, i t can be seen that the theoretical predictions as well as f i e l d observations indicate that, at shallow depths, horizontal and vertical fractures propagate towards the ground surface. Results from small scale laboratory experiments indicate propagation perpendicular to the in-situ minor principal stress direction. Therefore, the extrapolation of results from laboratory experiments to large scale f i e l d operations, is questionable. Furthermore, the magnitudes of the 26 injection induced stresses are seen to have a significant influence in deciding the final orientation of the fractures. 2.3.3 Fluid flow aspects An integral part of propagation of fractures is the flow of fluid within them. The resulting aperture of the fracture and the pressure distribution due to flow of fluid inside the fracture are highly inter-dependent. The stress analysis can be simplified by specifying arbitrary distributions of pressure thereby ignoring the flow of fl u i d inside the fracture. Zoback and Pollard(46) report that many authors including Secor(l975), Pollard(1976) and HSU(1975) prescribe arbitrary pressure distributions in their two dimensional models. Furthermore, Abed976), Perkins(1961), Nordgren(1972) and Kern(1969) consider the coupled fluid-flow stress-analysis problem but assume uniform pressure in the entire fracture length to obtain simplified expressions for the extent and the width of the fracture. Hagoort et al(22) and Settari and Raisbeck(37), in their two dimensional linear elastic models, incorporate mode-1 fractures e l l i p t i c in shape. The former authors analyse fracture in rock whereas the latter in Oilsand. Both models assume single phase compressible flow of fl u i d with a uniform pressure distribution inside the fracture. The propagation has been coupled with the mass balance of fluid within the fracture. In effect, this means that the fracture propagation occurs only i f there is fl u i d available to f i l l up the fracture. The model 27 developed by Settariand Raisbeck(37), predicts fracture lengths of several miles for an injection period of a few days. Such predictions are reported to be rea l i s t i c for air or cold water injection fracturing. Zoback and Pollard(46) investigate the coupled fluid flow-stress analysis problem in detail using a two dimensional(plane strain) fracture model in an infinite medium of linear elastic, homogeneous and isotropic material. The predictions are based on the mode-1 stress intensity factors computed at the tips of the fractures. The analytical solution for uniform loading of a portion of the wall of a fracture in an infinite region is employed in the prediction of the stresses, stress intensity factors and the displacements. For this purpose, the non-uniform pressure distribution is approximated as a series of uniform pressure segments and superimposed to obtain the final stresses and displacements. The fluid flow and elasticity equations are solved iteratively to obtain a consistent fracture shape-pressure variation for a prescribed wellbore pressure, viscosity and fracture length. Steady, constant property flow of a Newtonian fl u i d is assumed. For given rate of flow of fluid and viscosity, the analysis predicts the variation of the mode-1 stress intensity factors computed at the tip of the fracture with fracture length. The stress intensity factors indicated a drop in magnitude with length up to a c r i t i c a l length. Beyond this c r i t i c a l length the stress intensity factors increased rapidly. For higher fl u i d viscosities, larger c r i t i c a l lengths are observed. Based on these results the authors conclude the existence of a c r i t i c a l fracture length of stable propagation. 28 This conclusion indicates that stable fracture growth can precede breakdown when high viscosity fluids are used for fracturing and hence can lead to erroneously low estimates of o, predicted by equation 2.5, in regions where vertical fractures occur. Wiles and Roegiers(45) consider a two dimensional (plane strain) linear elastic fracture model that is appropriate for rock, using a displacement discontinuity approach. The coupled f l u i d flow-stress analysis problem is solved iteratively to obtain a consistent fracture shape-pressure distribution. Non-linear stress-strain variations are assigned to the discontinuities. Hanson et al(23) consider a numerical model that simulate the process of flu i d fracturing, in porous media, including the porous fl u i d flow and pore pressure effects in the surrounding region due to f l u i d penetration. The model consists essentially of a solution (in fi n i t e difference form) of the two dimensional, time dependent porous flow equations which numerically overlays the static two dimensional description of the elastic continuum. The analysis considers mode-1 fractures that are e l l i p t i c a l in shape. The mode-1 stress intensity factors computed at the tip regions of the fracture indicate a reduction with time when the porous flow effects are accounted for. Hence, if a fracture becomes stationary for a period of time the depressurization due to leakage of fl u i d to the surrounding low pressure regions, would reduce i t s tendency to propagate further. 29 The above review highlights the fact that the true solution for the coupled fluid flow-stress analysis problem can be attempted by an iterative type stress and flow analysis. Such analyses have been restricted to two dimensions and linear elastic materials. Only mode-1 or open mode fractures allow the necessary transmission of flu i d inside the fracture. The viscosity of the fracture fluid and the leakage of flu i d to the surrounding region are seen to be important for the propagation of a fracture. The f i l l i n g of the fracture with fluid during propagation offers a volume compatibility condition through which the stress and flow analyses are linked together. 2.4 Ground displacement predictions The mathematical closed form solution developed by Sun(42) predicts the vertical and horizontal ground surface displacements due to a horizontal , uniformly pressurized and penny shaped fracture embedded in a semi-infinite elastic continuum. The original derivations for a fracture in an infinite continuum are later modified to account for the presence of a free surface. The formulations consider the fracture length to consist of two separate regions, an inner region and an outer or an edge region as illustrated in fig(2.2). The essential difference in the two types of regions is that the fracture fluid does not penetrate into the edge region and is present only in the inner region. In effect this defines two different lengths, the fluid pressurized length of 3 0 Fig (2.2) The cross-section of the fracture considered for Sun's solution 31 the fracture and the true fracture length, the latter being always the larger. Accordingly, for a fracture with a fl u i d pressurized length, L^, and a true fracture length, L; W = [/k Sin(0/2) - d Cos(6/2)/{hfk }] A 0 2.18 U = [{L+L/k\" Sin(6?/2)/A1 + {/)T L Sin(0/2)-d/T Cos(0/2) - L k Cos(0)/A 2]A o r d/L 2.19 where, the true length and the f l u i d pressurized length are related by, [1-(L^/L ) 2 ] 2 = (Ujj-ar.cD/Up 2.20 in which, j_ 1 k2 = [(r 2+d 2-L 2)/L 2+(2d/L) 2]« 6 = Cof 1[(r 2+d 2-L 2)/2 d L] A 0 = the maximum aperture= 8 (1 -v2 ) (U^-tf.djL/TrE A, = (d + L/k Cos 2(0/2)) 2 + ( L + L/k Sin(0/2)) 2 A 2 = ( d/k Cos(65/2) - L/k Sin(65/2) + L k Cos (65 ) ) 2 + ( L/k Cos(65/2) + d/k Sin(£5/2) + L k Sin ( t 5 ) ) 2 where, W = the vertical ground displacement U = the horizontal ground displacement d = the depth of the fracture from the ground surface L = the true fracture length Lp= the fluid pressurized fracture length ~X = the unit weight of the material Uj3= the flu i d pressure inside the fracture r = the radial distance. 32 E,v= the elastic parameters of the medium Pollard and Holzhausen(34), using the method of successive approximation, predict ground displacements for arbitrary fracture orientations and pressure distributions. The method of successive approximation is useful for solving problems in regions bounded by several contours ( for the present problem the free surface and the fracture boundary are considered as two contours). The analytical solutions for uniform loading of a planar surface of a semi-infinte region and for uniform loading of a portion of the fracture wall in an infinite medium are required. The two solutions are successively(iteratively) superimposed. Each superposition results in the correct boundary conditions on one of the contours but alters the boundary conditions on a l l other contours. The analysis is performed in a two dimensional(plane-strain), elastic, homogeneous and isotropic medium. The numerical model formulated by Hungr and Morgernstern(26) is related to both the Boundary Integral Equation Method and the Displacement Discontinuity Method. The approach ut i l i z e s the simple classical solutions for point loads in an elastic half-space. The fl u i d pressure is considerd as a series of point loads. The analysis is restricted to linear elastic, homogeneous and isotropic materials. The advantage of such an approach is that planar three dimensional penny shaped fractures of any arbitrary orientation subjected to arbitrary flu i d pressure variations can be analysed. 3 3 CHAPTER 3 METHOD OF ANALYSIS 3 . 1 Introduct ion The fl u i d induced fracture behaviour, in reality, is essentially a three dimensional problem. However, in a medium with an idealized vertical-horizontal principal stress orientation and for fractures initiating from the circular periphery of a vertical wellbore on planes perpendicular to its axis, the problem simplifies to permit an axisymmetric analysis. On the other hand, if fractures are to occur on planes parallel to the axis of the wellbore, a plane strain analysis can be performed on the assumption that a sufficient length of the wellbore is pressurized to permit such an analysis. The analyses carried out in this study have been restricted to the above two types of fractures. The infinite domain in which fractures occur in reality has been assumed to be represented by the finite domains shown in figs 3 . 1 & ' 3 . 2 . For the plane strain domain considered(i.e.for the vertical fracture analysis), the effect of infinity is incorporated by the inclusion of springs which represent the elastic stiffness of the medium from the outer boundary to in f i n i t y . Theoretically, i t can be shown that in a radial plane strain domain, vertical fracture initiation occurs simultaneously at diametrically opposite p o i n t s ( 1 l ) . Further, i t can be expected that the symmetry of the problem would lead to radial propagation of such a fracture. Hence, only half the domain needs to be considered. The lateral extent of the 0 0 f t . 4 0 5 5 7 o So ^ 10 o IIS 130 (£•0 l i l l l l l l l l | Kofe Fig(3-2) The axisymmetr ic domain cons ide red for ho r i zon t a l fractures 7> 36 axisymmetric domain(i.e. for the horizontal fracture analysis) is selected such that a fracture with a prescribed maximum length causes negligible changes in the state of stress of the elements in the extreme right boundary. The lower boundary represents the rockbed. The wellbore walls are assumed to be supported by smooth steel casings, the pressurized zone being perforated. The loss of pressure head due to flow of fluid through the perforations are ignored. The stress changes caused by the installation of these, casings are assumed to be negligible. Oilsand is basically plastic in shear and b r i t t l e only in tension. As discussed in Section 2.3.3, for fl u i d induced fracture propagation i t suffices to consider only an open mode fracture. Only an open mode fracture permits the rapid transmission of fluid along the fracture which is essential for the propagation of the fracture. The analysis of fluid fracture propagation requires a coupled stress and flow analysis. The above analysis can be simplified by f i r s t uncoupling the fl u i d flow analysis from the stress analysis. If the flu i d pressure distribution inside the fracture is known or assumed, the size and shape of the fracture that correspond to the known or assumed flu i d pressure distribution can be obtained from a finite element analysis. The fluid flow analysis is then coupled to the problem through volume compatibility based on the fracture shape predicted from the finite element analysis(i.e. from the stress analysis). The fractures are assumed to be symmetric about their major axes. 37 The fracture shape is approximated by a series of parallel plate segments and the flow at a point is assumed to be described by parallel plate flow equations. The fluid flow analysis in return predicts a pressure distribution which can be compared with the assumed pressure profile. The iterative type of analysis thus formulated, has been restricted to a single iteration in the present method of analysis. In a porous medium, i t is the effective stresses that govern the response of the material. The effective stress-strain relations for Oilsand are highly complex being non-linear, inelastic and stress level dependent. Further, the presence of dissolved gasses makes the estimation of effective stresses complicated. Because of the inherent d i f f i c u l t i e s associated with an effective stress approach a simpler approach based on total stresses has been taken for the present study. Linear elastic and linear elastic-perfectly plastic stress-strain relations are assigned to the unfractured and the fractured material, respectively. However, the non-linear incremental elastic f i n i t e element program developed in this thesis is capable of handling non-linear stress-strain variations. The simplification mentioned above is only the f i r s t step towards the understanding of the coupled stress-fluid flow analysis problem. The problem is further simplified by ignoring the presence of bedding features, pre-existing fractures, dilation behaviour of dense Oilsand and the thermal aspects of the problem. 38 3.2 Criterion for fracture initiation A fluid induced fracture is initiated . by sealing off a section of the wellbore, at the depth where a fracture is required, and pressurizing this sealed section with a flui d . The magnitude of the fracture initiation pressure, as concluded in Section 2.2, is highly dependent on the degree of penetration of the fracture fluid into the medium. A macroscopic view of the region in the vicinity of the wellbore face is shown in fig(3.3). The compressive normal effective stress, a', in the vicinity of the wellbore face, can be expressed as; a' = a - u 3.1 where, a is the total normal stress and u is the pore f l u i d pressure. For fully penetrating fluids; u = u p 3.1a where u^ is the fluid pressure at the wellbore face. For fully non-penetrating fluids; u = u' 3.1b where, u' is the pore f l u i d pressure in the material when subjected to the boundary f l u i d pressure,u p, under undrained conditions. For partially penetrating fluids; u' < u < U p 3.1c The state of stress of an element of s o i l , adjacent to the wellbore face, can be represented by three mutually perpendicular principal stresses, which are in general different in magnitude. If a', in equation 3.1, represents any one of these stresses, material separation occurs when, 39 boundary fluid pressure = pore fluid pressure=u - sand grains nominal boundary Fig(3-3) A macroscopic view of the region in the vicinity of the pressurized zone o 40 o' ^ -o\\ 3.2 where, -a\\ = effective tensile stress at rupture (comp. ,+ve). and a fracture is said to be initiated. For a given material, this f i r s t occurs when a' in equation 3.2 corresponds to the minor principal effective stress. Oilsand is a porous material exhibiting a porosity of approximately 30%. In such a medium, most of the fracture fluids of common use can be considered as fully penetrating fluids. Oilsand, at zero stresses, possess essentially zero tensile strength. Accordingly, u = u^and -a\\ - 0. Substituting for u and in equations 3.1 & 3.2, fracture initiation f i r s t occurs when; or, u b ~ < W > 0 3.3 where, a m i n = total minor principal stress (comp.+ve) Fracture propagation, which wi l l be discussed later in this chapter, requires the flow of fluid into the fracture. Therefore, the opening should outcrop on the flu i d boundary. From an effective stress point of view, fracture initiation occurs when the minor principal effective stress f i r s t becomes zero on a plane outcropping the fluid boundary. From a total stress point of view, fracture initiation occurs when the boundary fl u i d pressure f i r s t exceeds the minor principal total stress on a plane outcropping the fluid boundary. 41 3.3 The Finite Element representation of a fracture Physically, fractures can be visualized as thin line discontinuities and can be discretized into a series of short line segments. Prior to fracturing, the region enclosed by a segment offers a near infinite stiffness in the direction of its minor axis. This is a direct result of the negligible thickness of the segment in comparison to its length. Once fractured, the region enclosed by the same segment is f i l l e d with the fracture f l u i d . The stiffness contribution of the fracture f l u i d in comparison to the surrounding material is negligible. Hence, after fracturing the stiffness of the segment in the direction of the minor axis is nearly zero. The f i r s t step in the Finite Element Method of analysis is the discretization of the domain into f i n i t e elements with acceptable aspect ratios (i.e. length/width ratio). In such a process the presence of thin line discontinuities, such as fractures, generate a large number of elements. Such an approach becomes cumbersome in the analysis of fracture propagation since the path of propagation is not known beforehand. Furthermore, the generation of a large number of elements increases the computation time required for the analysis. For the above reason, a fracture segment is represented by a f a i r l y thick element with an aspect ratio < 2.5. The fracture initiation criterion, as discussed in Section 3.2, can be incorporated into the f i n i t e element analysis by specifying a stiffness (in the direction of the minor axis of a fracture susceptible element) pore fluid pressure variation as 42 shown in fig (3.4) . The fluid pressure in excess of the minor principal total stress of the fracture plane leads to additional deformations in the process of fracturing. This is quantified in the finite element analysis by converting the f l u i d pressure on the fracture faces into equivalent nodal forces, and treating them as additional nodal loads for the increment. The above process is easily carried out by modifying the nodal force vector obtained from the f i n i t e element formulations(refer to Chapter 4 for details). 3.4 Criterion for fracture propagation The propagation behaviour of a fracture, which is essentially a new initiation, has been analysed incrementally. Once a fracture is initiated, the domain is analysed with the new boundary fluid pressures. Thereafter, the propagation is analysed as a new initiation but with the current stresses and the current boundary fluid pressures. The prediction of fracture propagation is accomplished by defining a quantity called the the Fracture Potential. The Fracture Potential(F.P) for the element i+1, shown in fig (3.5), is defined as; [U l > r \" <W ] 3.4 the fluid pressure at the right boundary of element i the computed minor principal total stress in element i+1 F.P where, U j r a = miiA.

The direction of propagation is assumed to be perpendicular to the minor principal stress direction in the region of the fracture t i p . A mesh reorientation process is built into the program to trace the path of a fracture and to include the effects of previous fracturing on subsequent fracturing. The mesh reorientation process is useful only for the special case of axisymmetric fractures initiating in a domain where the in-situ minor principal stress direction is vertical. 3.5 The proposed method of stress analysis The analyses are performed using a version of the computer program NLSSIP (8), modified to incorporate axisymmetric formulations and mesh reorientation. The program uses isoparametric elements and a tangent modulus approach (see Chapter 4). The load is applied in increments starting from known i n i t i a l in-situ stress conditions. Each increment in fracture length is treated as a new load increment, and each increment is analysed twice. The stresses, strains and displacements are computed for moduli corresponding to the average stresses, at the beginning and end of an increment. The moduli corresponding to the stresses at the end of the increment are stored to be used in the beginning of the next increment of 46 loading. The stresses and strains are computed at the centre of an element. The method of stress analysis is described below. The f i r s t step in the stress analysis is to specify the in-situ state of stress for the domain under consideration. The boundary pressure in the region where a fracture is required is increased until i t exceeds the minor principal total stress of any one of the elements in the vicinity of the fl u i d boundary that leads to a fracture which outcrops on the f l u i d boundary. At this value of the boundary fluid pressure the orientation of the above element(i.e. the one with the lowest minor principal total stress) is changed to that corresponding to the direction of the current minor principal stress plane, as illustrated in fig 3.6(a). The moduli of the element are reduced to near zero values and the nodal loads that correspond to the pressure that is in excess of the minor principal total stress of the element are applied at the nodes of the element. The nodal loads are equivalent of the excess fluid pressure acting on the two fracture faces. The domain is then analysed for the displacements and the stresses and the strains of the elements are computed. Once fracture is initiated the next fracture susceptible element is obtained by computing the Fracture Potential of the elements in the vicinity of the tip of the fracture, as described earlier in Section 3.4. If the boundary flu i d pressure is high enough to cause fracture (i.e. F.P ^0), the second element is oriented in the direction of its current minor principal stress plane, as shown in fig 3.6(b). Thereafter, as for the f i r s t element, the moduli are reduced to near zero values and the excess pore fluid pressure is converted (a) min i < i 1 i 1 2 • 1 i 1 < i (b) 1 f x • -€ j ( > V 2 / i / t • nodes changed due to reorientation of element 1 o nodes changed due to reorientation of element 2 Fi g( 3.6) Mesh reorientation (a) for element 1 (b) for element 2 48 into equivalent nodal loads and added to the nodal load vector. The domain is analysed for the displacements and the new stresses and strains in the elements are computed. For subsequent elements the procedure is identical to the one described for the second element. This process is repeated until the fracture propagates to a prescribed length. As described above, fracturing of each element is considered as a separate load increment. Therefore, i f a fracture extends for 'n' number of elements there are 'n' number of load increments. The shape of the fracture is computed by summing the incremental nodal displacements, for each increment of loading, of the nodes that f a l l on the fracture boundary. A fracture extending to four elements together with the relevant nodes is shown in fig(3.7). The incremental nodal displacements mentioned above are computed after reducing the moduli of the elements 1,2,3 & 4 to near zero values and applying the equivalent nodal loads. These nodal loads correspond to a fluid pressure in excess of the current minor principal total stress, acting on the fracture faces. The nodal displacements of the two nodes that correspond to the tip of the fracture are assumed to be zero in shape calculations. The ground surface displacements are computed in a similar manner, the relevant nodes being those in the upper boundary of the domain in this case. The details of the method of analysis are presented in Appendix A in step form. 4 9 1' 2< -© .

In this analysis the wellbore pressure and the fl u i d viscosity, for both vertical and horizontal fracture analyses, are assumed to be constant and are specified. For a given wellbore pressure and fluid viscosity, the pressure distribution within a fracture of given length and the resulting fracture shape are highly inter-dependent. The solution for this coupled problem, as concluded in Section 2.3.3, can be obtained by an iterative type stress and flow analysis. Such an approach requires assumptions regarding the i n i t i a l shape of the fracture or the i n i t i a l pressure distribution inside the fracture. The design of fluid fracture operations are often based on prescribed f l u i d pressure distributions and are referred to as geometric pressure profiles. Wiles and Roegiers(45) compare the fluid pressure distribution predicted from a coupled fluid flow-stress analysis with the existing geometric pressure profiles (in their figures 4,6 & 8). This comparison corresponds to a viscosity that is representative of water. A l l the geometric pressure profiles except the one proposed by Daneshy(l2) are seen to be significantly different from the predicted 51 distribution. Daneshy's geometric fl u i d pressure profile proposed for a 2D case, is mathematically expressed as; i Px = P,, + t P b \" H M x / L f >\"]T 3.5 where, P b = the wellbore pressure p_ = the far f i e l d stress p x = the pressure at a distance x measured from the wellbore wall L_p = the fl u i d pressurized half length of the fracture n = an exponent 2,4 or 8 For no leakage of fluid, the fl u i d pressure distribution given by equation 3.5 with n=4 indicates the best f i t for the pressure distribution obtained from the coupled fluid flow-stress analysis. The far f i e l d stress, p^ , in equation 3.5, is assigned the in-situ minor principal stress which inturn is the tip fluid pressure. According to the fracture c r i t e r i a used in the fin i t e element fracture model, the t i p f l u i d pressure changes with the length of propagation. Furthermore, the fluid pressurized fracture length and the actual fracture length are considered to be the same. Hence, the pressure distribution given by equation 3.5, modified for the tip fluid pressure and length of fracture, provides an i n i t i a l pressure distribution that can be assumed for the iterative analysis. Accordingly, the following modifications are performed on 52 equation 3.5. (a) replace p^ by p ^ where, p^ . is the fluid pressure at the t i p of the fracture. (b) replace by L where L is the true fracture length as discussed in Section 2.4. P> - Rap + [Pb - P 4 i p][l-(x/L)\"]\"^ 3.6 For a given pressure distribution, the size of the opening is dependent on the boundary conditions of the domain in which the fracture is present, the location of the fracture with respect to the boundaries, and the material properties of the domain. The size and shape of a fracture that corresponds to the pressure distribution given, by equation 3.6, at an equilibrium length, is obtained by inputting the pressure distribution into the respective fractured domains.. For a given length(L) and a constant wellbore pressure(p b), a pressure profile leading to an equilibrium fracture is obtained by varying p such that the Fracture Potential in the next, fracture susceptible element records a value just below zero. This is a t r i a l and error procedure and is repeated for various equilibrium fracture lengths to obtain the variations in size and shape with length. The shapes obtained from the fin i t e element analysis after one iteration are observed to be approximately parabolic. If the shape is approximated by a parabola the f l u i d flow formulations can be simplified considerably. Such an approach, however, limits the iterative stress and flow analysis to a single 53 iteration. A comparison of the shape predicted for a vertical fracture, with the approximated parabolic shape, is shown in fig(3.8). The shape is seen to f i t well to the parabolic variation. It was found that the fracture shape observed for short horizontal fractures(those with depth/length ratio 3-4) does not correspond very well with the parabolic shape. At larger fracture lengths, the f i t is significantly better. Fluid induced fracture operations are usually carried out at great depth below ground surface. Hence, the visual examination of the created fractures is an impossibility. For this reason, Pollard(33) suggests an analogy between the fluid fractures and sheet intrusions caused by the intrusion of liquid magma into the earth, which could be visually examined at outcrops. The thickness measurements of vertical dikes as a function of length, as reported by Pollard(33), are shown in fig(3.9). It can be seen that the f i e l d data closely approximates a parabolic shape. In the f l u i d flow formulations described in Section 3.6.2, both horizontal and vertical fractures are described as parabolic in shape. The analysis is restricted to a single iteration. Hence, the size of the opening of the fracture and the t i p f l u i d pressure correspond to the results obtained from the i n i t i a l pressure distribution given by equation 3.6. The fracture shape is approximated by a series of parallel plates and hence the flow at a point is governed by the parallel plate flow equations. Steady state laminar flow of a constant property Newtonian flu i d between each parallel segment is assumed. The parabolic approximation finite element results 0 0-4 1 2 3 distance from the wellbore axis (ft) Fig(3-8 ) The parabolic approximation for the shape of a fracture Fig( 3.9) The approximated parabolic shape vs field observations of shape obtained from Pollard ( 33 ) 56 leakage of fluid into the surrounding medium is ignored. Also, the vertical fractures created are assumed to propagate at constant height. 3.6.2 The fl u i d flow formulations In this section, the mathematical formulations involved with the fl u i d flow model are described. As outlined in Section 3.1, the symmetrical fractures considered herein are either vertical or horizontal in orientation. A propagating fracture is analysed as a quasi-static fracture. The aperture of a fracture, is dependent on a number of factors. They are, (a) material properties of the domain (b) boundary conditions of the domain (c) location of the fracture w.r.t the boundaries of the domain (d) wellbore pressure, p b (e) fracture half length, L (f) distance from the wellbore wall to the location within the fracture, where the aperture is required(i.e. x) The two domains(see figs 3.1 & 3.2) analysed are assumed to consist of linear elastic and isotropic material with similar properties. Wellbore pressures that are equal in magnitude are considered for the analysis of the two fracture types. Therefore, in a given domain, the aperture, B(see f i g . 3.10), of a fracture depends only on (e) & (f) and can be expressed as B=B[x,L]. As outlined in the latter part of Section 3.6.1, the 57 shapes obtained for the vertical and horizontal fractures, from the finite element analyses, are approximated as parabolic in shape. Therefore, as shown in Appendix C, B[x,L] can be written as, B[x,L] = B 0 [ L ] B'[x/L] 3.7 where, B 0 [ L ] , represents the maximum half aperture of the fracture and B'[x/L] is a shape function which is quadratic in x/L, representing the parabolic variation used in this analysis. It should be noted that B 0 is also dependent on the factors (a) to (e) and that i t can be written as B 0 [ L ] only with the simplifications mentioned above. Consider a fracture exhibiting a length L at time T and a length L+8L at time T+5T , as shown in figure 3.10. The equation for volume balance across section A-A, at a distance x from the wellbore axis, can be written as; for a vertical fracture, 5V = J~B 0[L+5L]B' [x/L] dx- _f B 0 [ L ] B ' [x/L] dx 3.8a x * for a horizontal fracture, L + S L L SV = 2it J\"B 0[L+5L]B'[x/L]x dx-27r J B 0 [ L ] B' [ x/L ] x dx 3.8b * x where, 5V is the net volume of fluid flown across the section at A-A. As shown in Appendix C, equations 3.8 can be rearranged to take the form, 58 Fig(3.10) The quasi-static fracture 59 for a vertical fracture, 6V = 6L f,[L,x] 3.9a for a horizontal fracture, SV = SL f'jL,x] 3.9b Dividing equations 3.9 by ST and taking the limit as ST 0, we have; for a vertical fracture, cW dL f j L , x ] 3.10a 5T dT for a horizontal fracture, 2>V dL f', [L,x] 3.10b \\$T dT where, 3V volume flow rate across A-A 3T and dL fracture propagation velocity dT Therefore, for volume compatibility, the flow rate is linear in dL/dT. The flow of fluid between the fracture faces is accompanied by a drop in fluid pressure. Let 'p' represent the resulting pressure at a point in the parabolic fracture. Since the flow at a point within the fracture is assumed to be described by parallel plate flow equations, the gradient of the resulting pressure distribution can be written as; 60 for a vertical fracture, 3p 3V [-12 M/B 3] ax B T 3V f 2 [ B , M ] 3.11a aT for a horizontal fracture, ap av [-6 M/{TTB 3X}] 3x &T SV f'2[B,/x,x] 3.11b aT Li = absolute viscosity B = separation of the parallel plates x = distance from the wellbore axis From equations 3.11 i t can be seen [ap/dx], is linear in [ 5 V/aT].

(?) . wellbore pressure (h) u, f l u i d viscosity (i) L, fracture half length (j) p , fluid pressure at a distance x(r0<x<L). Out of the above quantities, (g) & (h) are externally controlled and hence are knowns. In the following section, the procedure for estimating the quantities listed under (i) & (j) will be described. In Section 3.4, i t was outlined that fracture propagation is analysed incrementally. Within each increment a static stress analysis is carried out with the fl u i d pressure distribution given by equation 3.6. Criteria for stable fracture, as 62 described by equation 3.4, are imposed by varying the fluid pressure at the tip of the fracture until i t becomes approximately equal to the minor principal total stress at the t i p of the fracture. This involves a t r i a l and error procedure. The above process is repeated for each increment and the magnitude of the f l u i d pressure at the tip of the fracture at varying fracture lengths are obtained. From the above results and equations 3.13, dL/dT can be computed at the end of each increment in fracture length. From equations 3.10 and the dL/dT values computed at different fracture lengths, av/aT that correspond to the same fracture lengths can be computed. When x=L or X=x/L=1, equations 3.13 denote the fluid pressure at the tip of the fracture. But as shown in Appendix-C, f 4(x,L,/i) and f„(x,L,m) contain terms such as 1/(L 2-x 2), 1/(L2-x 2 ) 2 and log(L-x). Thus, for a non-trivial solution (i.e. dL/dT^O), the tip fluid pressure should be negative in f i n i t y . However, i f the fracture tip is defined differently, the above singularity can be eliminated. A typical cross section of a fracture tip is shown in fig(3.11). The material in the shaded area may be highly non-linear and visco-elastic-plastic and may not form a continuum(35). The classical fracture mechanics theories indicate stress singularities at the t i p of the fracture. However, in reality, these stresses will get redistributed and the shape of the tip may adjust i t s e l f to form a finite state of stress. The blunt fracture tip shape assumed in this study, to 63 Fig(3.11) A typical cross section of a fracture tip 64 FigC3.12) The quasi-static fracture wi th o blunt-1ip 65 eliminate the pressure singularity, is shown in fig(3.12). The formulations described above are modified to account for the new shape of the fracture. For the new shape, the tip of the fracture is defined at x = a 0L. The limits of integration in equations 3.8 would change to x - a0(L+5L) and x - a 0L. The resulting changes are as follows; Equations 3.8 5V = J B 0 [ L + 8 L ] B ' [ X / L ] dx- JB 0[L]B'[x/L] dx 3.14a SV = 27r / B 0 [L+5L]B' [ X / L ] X dx-27r JB0 [L]B' [x/L] x dx 3.14b x x Equations 3.9 6V = 6L f,[L,x,a 0] 3.15a SV = SL f,[L,x,a 0] 3.15b Equations 3.12 ^p dL f 3 [ ( i,x,L,a 0] 3.16a dx. dT dp dL £ 3[n,x,L,a 0] 3.16b Sx dT Equations 3.13 p = p, + d L [ A - f ( , ( x , a 0 , L , M ) ] 3.17a D dT p = p. + dL [ A ' - f ( x , a 0 ,L,M) ] 3.17b b dT where,the fracture tip is given by X = a0 and the fracture tip velocity is given by [d(a 0L)/dT]. Once dL/dT is known at any given length of a fracture, the pressure distribution within the fracture is given by equations 3.17. 66 CHAPTER 4 THE FINITE ELEMENT FORMULATIONS 4.1 Introduction For the two fracture types mentioned in Section 3.1, the analyses simplify to the following two classes; (a) Axisymmetric - horizontal fractures (b) Plane strain - vertical fractures The s o i l is modelled by isoparametric quadrilateral or triangular elements. The finite element formulations for the above two classes are outlined briefly in the following sections. A complete formulation is given in Appendix-B. 4.2 The Axisymmetric Formulation 4.2.1 The constitutive matrix [D] An axisymmetric problem is characterized by its symmetry with respect to both geometry and loading. Because of the symmetry, the stress components are independent of the angular (0) coordinate. Hence, a l l the derivatives with respect to 6 vanish. Accordingly, 6e 2 3 = 6e 3 2 = 0 4.1a 8e,3 = 5e3, = 0 4.1b v = 0 4.1c Subscripts 1,2 & 3 refer to r, z and 6 directions with corresponding displacements u,v and w, respectively. From the generalized Hooke's law of incremental elasticity, i t 67 follows that; 5a 2 3 = 5o3 2 = 0 4.2a 5a,3 = 6a 3 1 = 0 4.2b With the strains and stresses given in equations 4.1 & 4.2, the incremental stress vector {6a}, and the incremental strain vector {5e} reduce to; {5af = [ 6 a n 6a 22 § \" 3 3 Sa, j] 4.3 T {Se} = [ 6c,, Se 2 2 oe-33 6e 1 2 ] 4.4 where, T denotes the transpose of the matrix. The constitutive relations for such a case are given by; 6a, , \\-v V V 0 6e , , ha 22 E V \\-v V 0 § E 2 2 6a3 3 (1+y)(1-2?) V V \\-v 0 5e3 3 6a, 2 0 0 0 (1-2l0/2 8e , 2 where, E = tangent Young's modulus v = tangent Poisson's ratio Alternately the constitutive relations can be written in terms of the shear and bulk moduli as; 68 8a, , B' +G' B' -G' B' -G' 0 8e , , SO 2 2 B' -G' B' +G' B' -G' 0 5e2 2 8a3 3 B' -G' B' -G' B' +G' 0 8a, 2 0 0- 0 G' 5e , 2 where, G' = E/{2(^+^>)} and B' = 3B/{2(l+v)} in which E,B & v are the tangent Young's modulus, bulk modulus and the Poisson's ratio respectively. In matrix notation equation 4.6 is written as; {6a} =[ D ] { 8 e } 4.7 where, [D] = the constitutive matrix. 4.2.2 The strain displacement matrix [B] In compatible isoparametric elements both the geometry and the displacements are expressed by the same shape functions. The displacement u,v and the coordinates r,z at a point are approximated by; u N, 0 N2 0 N3 0 N, 0 {8} 4.8 V 0 N, 0 N2 0 N-3 0 N, r N, 0 N2 0 N3 0 Nfl 0 15'} 4.9 z 0 N, 0 N2 0 N3 0 where, {8} is the incremental nodal displacement vector g.iven by; {8} = [u, v, u 2 v 2 u 3 v 3 u, v a] and {6'} is the nodal coordinate vector for the element given 69 by; {6' }T = [r, z, r 2 z 2 r 3 z 3 r 8 z, ] and N, =(1-s)(1-t)/4 N2 =(1-s)(!+t)/4 N3 «(1+s)(1+t)/4 N4 =(1+S) d-t)/4 U j , V ; being the nodal displacements and rj ,Zj being the nodal coordinates of the element in r & z directions, respectively. s,t are the coordinates of a point in the local frame. The incremental strains for an axisymmetric problem, in terms of the displacements are expressed as; Ue-} = Se , , 6e 2 2 6e 3 3 6e , 2 au/dr dv/az u/r dv/dr + 3u/dz 4.10 substituting for u & v from equation 4.8 into equation 4.10, 3NX 3r~ 0 3N2 3r~ 0 3N3 3r 0 3N4 3r~ 0 u l v l 0 3~Z~ 0 3N2 3Z~ 0 3N3 3Z~ 0 3N4 3Z~ \"2 v2 r 0 N2 r 0 ! l r 0 ^4 r 0 \"3 v3 3NX 3Nj 3N2 3N2 3N3 3N3 3N4 3N4 u4 3Z 3r 3Z 3r 3Z 3r 3Z 3r v4 4-11 70 or, in matrix notation; {6e} = [B] {8 } 4.12 where [B] is called the strain displacement matrix and contains the f i r s t derivatives of N(with respect to r and z. Since the shape functions, N,', are functions of s & t, [B] is not a constant for the element. For this reason, i t is evaluated numerically at selected points within an element. The details of the selection of the Gauss quadrature for numerical integration are given in Appendix-B. 4.2.3 The stiffness matrix [K] The force displacement relationship which results in the formulation of the stiffness matrix for an element is based on the principle of virtual work. For a virtual nodal displacement vector {8e}, the resulting virtual strain increment vector, as given by equation 4.12 i s ; {Se} = [B]{5e} 4.13 The internal work done, W(int), is expressed as; W(int) = j, {5e} {So} dv 4.14a where, dv is the volume of the element. Substituting from equation 4.13, J{5e} [B] [D] [B] {8} dv 4.14b 71 The external work done, W(ext), by the external load vector {f} due to the virtual increment in displacements is written as; W(ext) = {Se} {f} 4.1 5 From the principle of virtual work, W(ext) = W(int) hence, 4. 16 (f) = J\"[B]T[D] [B] {5} dv {f} = [K] {6} 4.17 4.18 where [K] =J[B][D][B]dv, which is called the stiffness matrix V for the element. If a pore f l u i d pressure of magnitude 6U is present in the element, {6a} = {6a'} + 6U 4. 19 where {8a'} is the matrix containing the element effective stresses. Substitution of equation 4.19 in 4.14 gives; W(int) = J { oeHB]~[D' 1 [B]{5}dv v ° 8U dv 4.20 where, [D'] is a new constitutive matrix in terms of effective 72 stresses. From equations 4.15,4.16 & 4.20, {f} = [K'] {6} + 6U{k'} 4.21 {f'} = {f} -6U{k'} = [K']{6} 4.22 where [K' ] = J [BHD'] [B]dv {f} = the modified nodal load vector which includes the presence of 5U. - j | 1 |dv which is a matrix associated with {k'} = I [B] T v the pore fluid pressure. 4.3 Plane strain formulation 4.3.1 The constitutive matrix [D] Plane strain problems are characterized by the following conditions; (1) no deflection in z direction (2) f i r s t derivative of the deflections in x & y directions with respect to z are zero. Accordingly, 5e 3 3 = 6e 1 3 = 6e 23 =0 4.23a w = 0 4.23b Subscripts 1,2 & 3 refer to x,y & z directions respectively, with corresponding displacements u,v,w.

With the strains and stresses given in equations 4.23 & 4.24, the incremental stress vector {6a}, and the incremental strain vector {5e} reduce to; {6a} = [5a,, 6a2 6a 1 2] {Sef = [6e,, 6e2 2 5e , 2 ] 4.25 4.26 as; 5a, , 5a2 2 6a, 2 E ( ( 1-2v) for a plane v 0 V \\-v 0 0 0 (1 - 5e , , 8£ 2 2 5e , 2 4.27 where E = tangent Young's modulus v = tangent Poisson's ratio Alternately the constitutive relations can be written in terms of the shear and bulk moduli as; {5a} = B' +G' B'-G' B'-G' B' +G' 0 0 4.28 {6} 74 where, G'= E/{2(1+j>)} and B'= 3B/{2(1+»v)} in which E,B & v are the tangent Young's modulus, bulk modulus and the Poisson's ratio respectively. In matrix notation equation 4.28 is written as; {6a} = [D]{6e} 4.29 where [D] is the Constitutive matrix. 4.3.2 The strain displacement matrix [B] For plane strain formulation, the geometry of the element(i.e. x,y) and displacements(i.e. u,v) are approximated as, x = [x1N1+x2N2+x3N3+xllNfl ] 4.30 y = [yiN1+y2N2+y3N3+y(tNfl ] u = r u 1 N 1 + u 2 N 2 + u 3 N 3 + u , N , ] 4.31 v = [v1N,+v2N2+v3N3+vl|Nl) ] where, Xj ,y- = nodal coordinates in x & y directions.

Finite element analyses are performed for two different principal stress orientations. A state of stress which represents a minor principal stress that is horizontal in orientation(i.e. K0<1) and a state of stress which represents a minor principal stress that is vertical in orientation(i.e. K0>1) are considered. The domains considered are shown in figs(3.1) and (3.2), respectively. The results, expressed as ratios of the initiation pressure to the overburden pressure, are shown in Table 5.1.

The theoretical pressures correspond to a Poisson's ratio of 1/3. The tensile strength of the material, has been assumed to be zero. For sands, the material matrix compressibility is negligible when compared to the material bulk compressibility. As a result, the Biot's constant(see Section 2.2) for sands is close to 1. Hence, in computing the c r i t i c a l pressures from equations 2.4,2.6 & 2.7, a Biot's constant of 1 has been assumed. Furthermore, the i n i t i a l in-situ pore fl u i d pressure has been assumed to be zero. For K0<1, the finite element analysis predicts the initiation of a vertical fracture, and for K0>1, a horizontal fracture. The magnitude of the initiation pressure is equal to the magnitude of the in-situ minor principal total stress that correspond to the location of the fracture in ground. For the vertical and horizontal fractures, the theoretical initiation pressures, computed for penetrating fluids, are dependent of the Poisson's ratio for the material. However, for noh-penetrating fluids, the above pressures are independent of the Poisson's ratio. It is important to note that the initiation pressures predicted in the f i n i t e element analyses, for both vertical and horizontal fractures, are also independent of the Poisson's ratio. The theoretical pressures computed for vertical fracture ini t i a t i o n , using penetrating fluids, are about 40% higher than the results obtained from the fin i t e element analysis. For horizontal fracture initiation away from the ends of the 79 wellbore and with penetrating fluids, the theoretical pressure is about 100% higher than the pressure predicted in the finite element analysis. For horizontal fracture initiation closer to the ends of the wellbore and with similar f l u i d conditions as above, the theoretical pressure is 30% lower than the finite element results. The horizontal fracture initiation pressure that corresponds to the equation given by Bjerrum et al(5) is identical to the pressure predicted in the f i n i t e element analysis. The theoretical fracture initiation pressures obtained with non-penetrating fluids are seen to be higher than those obtained with penetrating fluids. 5.1.1(b) A comparison with f i e l d data Data on actual fracture operations carried out in Oilsand, are extremely limited. Settari & Raisbeck(37) have presented results of the injection pressure, rate and time histories obtained from fracture operations in the Coldlake area in Alberta. The paper by Holzhausen et al(24) presents injection pressure-time-rate data on a fracture operation carried out in the Athabasca Oilsand region in Alberta. The fracture initiation pressures obtained from the above fracture operations are compared with the predictions of the finite element fracture model. Because of the different magnitudes of the stress conditions involved, the comparison is based on the ratio of the init i a t i o n pressure to the minor principal total stress across the fracture faces. 80 The injection histories reported in the paper by Settari & Raisbeck(37) are shown in f i g ( 5 . l ) . From these results, Dusseault(17) deduces a fracture in i t i a t i o n pressure ratio that is approximately one. The results presented by Holzhausen et al(24), shown in fig(5.2), indicate a fracture initiation pressure ratio of about 1.5, which is 50% higher than the estimated ratio. The f i n i t e element analyses predict a fracture initiation pressure ratio of one. The magnitude of the fracture in i t i a t i o n pressure for a cohesionless.material, as discussed in Section 2.2, is dependent on the degree of penetration of the f l u i d into the medium. The degree of penetration depends on the rate of pumping of f l u i d , the fluid viscosity and the porosity of the material. Thus, a proper comparison is feasible only i f the degree of penetration of the fracture fluid is similar for the two cases. For the aforementioned data, both the material and the injection fluids are almost the same whereas the pumping rates of the two studies differ. On the other hand, the material may possess some tensile strength which would result in an increased fracture initiation pressure. The finite element analyses performed assume zero tensile strength for the material and hence the initiation pressures predicted are a lower bound. It can be concluded that the magnitudes of the fracture initiation pressures predicted from the finite element analyses are only in partial agreement with the theoretical predictions as well as the limited f i e l d data. The differences between the finite element results and the field data could be due to the 82 Fig {5-2) The injection history for Oilsand at Athabasca area (adapted from Holzhausen (2 A )) 83 varying degrees of penetration of fracture fluid and the tensile strength of the formation that are not taken account of in the analyses. 5.1.2 Fracture propagation In this section, the fracture propagation results obtained from laboratory experiments are compared with the results from the f i n i t e element analyses. The f i n i t e element analyses are carried out assuming; (a) fully penetrating fracture fluids, and (b) a material of negligible tensile strength. 5.1.2(a) A comparison with laboratory observations Hydraulic fracture tests carried out on laboratory t r i a x i a l samples of a s i l t y clay are reported by Bjerrum and Anderson(4). A small piezometer (shown in fig 5.3) is installed in the centre of the sample and consolidated to a prescribed anisotropic state of stress that leaves a horizontal minor principal stress. The piezometer is then pressurized at a constant rate of flow of water mixed with fluorecene. The important observations made in these tests are; 1. The pressure in the piezometer increased to a c r i t i c a l value, remained constant for a short time, and started to decrease. In a short time the rubber membrane started bulging out and the pore pressure in the top of the specimen started to increase. These observations indicate that a fracture was formed a l l the way out to the rubber membrane. 84 2. The horizontal and vertical slices, when visually examined, did not indicate the presence of a fracture. When illuminated by ultraviolet light, the horizontal slices indicated large concentrations of fluorecene on a diametrical plane, as shown in fig (5.4). These observations indicate that the created fracture was vertical and upon removal of the excess pressure the fracture had closed completely. 3. The fracture closure pressure provides a reliable estimate of the minor principal total stress and is independent of the type of f l u i d used in fracturing. (both paraffin and water indicated identical closure pressures). These results are illustrated in f i g (5.5) as obtained from Bjerrum & Anderson(4). The finite element fracture model developed in this study has been employed to model the propagation behaviour observed in the hydraulic fracture tests in t r i a x i a l samples. For the above case, a horizontal section of the sample subjected to an identical vertical-horizontal stress ratio of 1/2 (i.e. K0=1/2) has been analysed. The analysis assumes plane strain conditions. The domain selected is shown in fig(3.1). The radial symmetry of the domain considered indicates equal probability for a fracture to initiate at any diametrically opposite pair of points. However, if the existence of a weaker plane is assumed, fracture initiation could take place in that plane. With this assumption, the finite element fracture model predicts fracture initiation on a diametrical plane. Because of the small dimensions of the specimen mentioned 85 soil sample C z = -s cr, Fig( 5-3) The laboratory f racture test condi tions (adapted from Bjer rum!- A nde rson^Aj) Fig(5-4) The cross-section of the slice-6 indicating a vertical f racture (adapted from Bjerrum <rAnrierson(4 )) — initial pore pressure •us 3 ' i . flow rate (cm / mm) Fig( 5-5 ) The pressure-flow rate variation for different fracture fluids (adapted from Bjerrum h Anderson(4 )) 87 in the above experiment, i t could be assumed that the viscous pressure drops would have been negligible. With such an assumption the finite element analysis predicts the vertical fracture propagating to the outer boundary of the domain. Experimental results reported by Haimson & Fairhurst(20) on small rock samples and Schonfeldt & Fairhursts(36) on large f i e l d rock samples, with a minor principal stress horizontal in orientation, indicate behaviour similar to that predicted by the analysis. Since the vertical fracture analysis is restricted to a plane strain analysis, predictions regarding the climbing behaviour of vertical fractures cannot be made. The propagation behaviour of a horizontal fracture has been modelled next, using the f i n i t e element fracture model developed. The domain shown in fig(3.2) has been analysed for a vertical to horizontal stress ratio of 2 (i.e.K 0=2). The analysis assumes axisymmetric conditions. Laboratory results obtained from samples subjected to a minor principal stress that is vertical, indicate horizontal fractures propagating to the outer boundaries. As shown in fig(5.6), at larger fracture lengths the predictions of the f i n i t e element analysis deviate from the above experimental observations indicating a fracture climbing towards the ground surface. This occurs once the fracture half length exceeds about the depth of the fracture from the ground surface. The presence of a free surface makes the geometry of the problem asymmetric about a horizontal axis. As a result, the stress distribution caused by the pressure inside a horizontal opening is also ground surface elevation = 00 for a uniform pressure distribution & a weightless fracture fluid U 6 distance from the wellbore axis(ft) 10 Fi g(56 ) The predicted path of propagation for a horizontal fracture 89 asymmetric about the axis of the opening. The significant shear stresses induced in the vicinity of the tip of the fracture, due to the cause mentioned above, reorient the minor principal stress plane towards the free surface. For this reason, the analysis predicts fractures climbing towards the free surface. The theoretical work of Pollard & Holzhausen(34) and Dusseault's(17) conclusions regarding the climbing behaviour of fractures support the above predictions. In conclusion, i t can be seen that the finite element fracture model satisfactorily predicts the fluid induced fracture propagation behaviour. Field observations as well as laboratory observations are modelled correctly. 5.1.3 The results from the fluid flow analysis The results presented herein are for a specified wellbore pressure and fluid viscosity. Domains shown in figs(3.l) and (3.2) are analysed for the same isotropic stress state with similar material properties. The mesh reorientation process has been bypassed. Therefore, only fractures propagating on vertical or horizontal planes are considered. For the above idealized conditions, the analysis predicts the rate of flow of f l u i d between the fracture faces, the velocity of propagation of the t i p of the fracture and the f l u i d pressure within the parabolic fracture at equilibrium fracture lengths. These predictions are based on the tip f l u i d pressure and the magnitude of the aperture predicted from the f i n i t e element analyses and correspond to the pressure distribution at the start of the 90 f i r s t i t e r a t i o n .

Further, the rate of flow of fluid was allowed to vary with no fixed upper bound. However, in reality, no geotechnical material is fully impermeable and often the maximum rate of pumping is limited to the capacity of the pumps available. In fracturing of permeable materials, significant leakage of fluid takes place and the resulting fluid pressure inside the fracture can be significantly different in distribution and magnitude from that for no leakage of f l u i d . The effects of the above factors, discussed later in Section 5.2.3, are to reduce the velocity of propagation of fractures. In an isotropic stress f i e l d , the pressurization of a section of a wellbore would induce vertical and horizontal fractures simultaneously. The results shown in f i g 5.7 indicate that at i n i t i a l stages of propagation, the vertical fractures grow faster. This is a result of the larger fluid carrying capacity of vertical fractures, observed during the i n i t i a l stages of propagation. The horizontal fractures grow, but at a slower rate. However, after the vertical fractures propagate a certain distance, the increase in velocity of propagation as well as the fluid carrying capacity reduce significantly. A horizontal fracture of longer length of propagation exhibits a larger f l u i d carrying capacity than a vertical fracture. High rates of pumping of fluid force the fractures to accommodate large quantities of fl u i d . Therefore, i f only the rate of flow is considered, in fracture operations with high rates of pumping of fluid, fractures should be dominently horizontal in 93 orientation. The pressure distributions predicted for the parabolic fractures are compared with the pressure distribution assumed at the start of the f i r s t iteration, in fig(5.8). The predicted pressure distribution is seen to be in good agreement with the assumed distribution except for the region close to the tip of the fracture, where the maximum deviation is about 10% of the wellbore pressure. 5.1.4 A comparison of displacements with Sun's closed form solution The closed form solution presented for ground surface, displacements by Sun(43), is based on highly idealized conditions. In order to permit a comparison of the numerical solution with the closed form solution, similar idealizations are made to the model developed in the present study. Thus, only uniformly pressurized penny shaped horizontal fractures embedded in a linear elastic, homogeneous and isotropic medium are considered. The radius of the wellbore is reduced to zero and no self weight stresses are considered. Further, the two fracture lengths defined in the closed form solution, and L, discussed in section 2.4, are assumed to be the same for the analysis. Figures (5.9) & (5.10) illustrate the comparisons of the horizontal and vertical ground displacement predictions from the fi n i t e element analysis with the closed form solution. The data used for these predictions are shown in Table 5.2.

As shown in the fig (5.11) because a fracture segment is represented by a fa i r l y thick element in the fini t e element analysis, the exact location of the centre of the fracture that suits the closed form solution is debatable. For this reason, the displacements are computed for the two possible locations of the centre of a fracture, as shown in fig (5.11) by sections 1 & 2. It is seen that the results are in close agreement with the closed form solution. The results agree extremely well with the closed form solution that corresponds to a depth as given by section 1. The displacements predicted are at most 13% higher than those obtained from the closed form solution when a depth that corresponds to section 2 is selected. The shape of the fracture predicted in the analysis is compared with that given by Sun's solution, in f i g (5.12).

From the f i n i t e element analysis i t was seen that when K0<1, the fractures created were vertical. As pointed out in Section 1.3, the magnitude of the fluid pressure at which a fl u i d f i l l e d vertical fracture closes, corresponds to the minor principal total stress(i.e. horizontal) at the location of the fracture. If the minor principal total s t r e s s ( a 2 ) , the tensile strength of the soil(o ) and the fracture initiation pressure obtained with a non-penetrating fl u i d are known, the magnitude of the intermediate principal total s t r e s s C a , ) can be estimated from the theoretical relation given in equation 2.5. However, if a penetrating f l u i d is used, CT, can be estimated from equation 2.4, provided the Poisson's ratio and the Biot's constant for the material are also known. If overly viscous fluids or high rates of pumping of even low viscosity fluids are used, due to partial penetration of the fracture fluid , a ^ computed from the above equations would be in error. In over-consolidated soils(i.e.K 0>1), the overburden pressure corresponds to the mi.nor principal total stress. For K0>1, the fractures created are horizontal in orientation. As a result, the f l u i d induced fracture data are useful only for estimating the overburden pessure and the tensile strength in 102 over-consolidated soils. 5.2.2 Fracture Propagation The common assumption that the path of propagation is perpendicular to the in-situ minor principal stress direction is relaxed in the present analysis. Instead, the new state of stress is estimated after each increment of the fracture length. The direction of propagation is assumed to be perpendicular to the current minor principal stress direction in the tip of the fracture. Such a process reflects the effects of previous fractures on the process of subsequent fracturing. Even though Pollard & Holzhausen(34) and Dusseault(17) predict climbing fractures, their hypotheses for the climbing behaviour are different. Pollard & Holzhausen(34) predict climbing fractures based on the significant increase in the normalized mode-2 stress intensity factors(i.e. K2/K00=r/pb in which r is the shear stress and p^ is the wellbore pressure) computed at the tip of the fracture. Dusseault proposes a work minimization criterion for the path of propagation and concludes that i t is a reduction in stress and hence the lesser work required to part the material that causes the fractures to climb towards the ground surface. The finite element analysis indicates that i t is because of the reorientation of the minor principal stress plane, in the vicinity of the tip of the fracture, that causes the shallow, horizontal fractures to propagate towards the free surface. The larger normalized mode-2 stress intensity factors, 103 predicted by Pollard & Holzhausen(34), are a result of larger shear stresses induced near the tip of the fracture. These shear stresses reorient the minor principal stress plane towards the ground surface. Hence, i t is seen that the results of the f i n i t e element analyses as well as the results obtained from Pollard & Holzhausens' analysis, predict climbing fractures for the same reason. However, because of the qualitative nature of Pollard & Holzhausens' predictions regarding climbing, a quantitative comparison of the change in orientation of the principal stress plane cannot be done. 5.2.3 The fluid flow aspects The objectives of the fluid flow analyses are to predict the variations in velocity of propagation, rate of flow and the fluid pressure distribution inside a fracture, with the length of propagation. As outlined in Section 3.6.2, inorder to achieve the above objectives, i t is necessary to know the variation of the maximum aperture of fracture and the fluid pressure at the tip of the fracture, at different fracture lengths. These data were obtained by carrying out finite element analyses in the domains shown in figs 3.1 & 3.2. The tip fluid pressures obtained from the finite element analyses are shown in Table 5.3. These results correspond to the same wellbore pressure of 6000 l b s / f t 2 . It should be noted that for the horizontal fracture, P^ .ip indicates a reduction with length whereas for the vertical fracture i t increases with length. 104 Table 5*3 The tip fluid pressure data with length horizontal fracture vertical fracture 1 ength* (.ft) P. dbf/ft2) tip length*(ft) P.

However, the t i p fluid pressure corresponds to the fluid pressure at the boundary of an element and is compared with the minor principal total stress at the centre of the element adjoining the boundary, to predict the stability of the fracture(i.e. propagation). When the element gets bigger in size, the minor principal stress at the centre of the element could be significantly higher than the same near the edge, where the t i p of the fracture is located. The radial domain in which the vertical fracture analysis is carried out, consists of elements that grow bigger in size with the radial distance. Hence, the increase in the tip fl u i d pressure could be a result of the change in element size with length of propagation. For the horizontal fracture analysis, the domain consists of rectangular elements that are approximately equal in size. Therefore, even though the stresses computed are higher than the stresses at the boundary(closer to the tip) of the element, the effect of the size of the elements will not be as significant as for the radial domain. When a free surface is introduced near a fracture, the resistance to deformation provided by a l l the material above that surface is removed. As a result, a significant portion of the strains are relieved as displacements perpendicular to the free surface. Also, a significant portion of the load caused by the excess fl u i d pressure, acting on the fracture face, is transferred to the material in the tip region. The load mentioned above, increases with length of propagation. Hence, the minor principal total stress at the tip of the fracture 106 decreases with length, .leading to lower tip f l u i d pressures( since they are identical for an equilibrium fracture). From equations 3.10 & 3.17, i t can be seen that the velocity of propagation and the rate of flow are directly proportional to Pb -P^p . As shown in Table 5.3, Pb-Ptip varies between 0.23Pb and O . 4 O P 5 , the influence of which, on velocity of propagation and rate of flow, is significant. In the following sections, the influence of the aperture-length variations on velocity of propagation and rate of flow are discussed, on the assumption that the tip fl u i d pressure is constant with length. Inorder to investigate the effect of aperture(B)-length(L) variations on velocity and rate of flow, i t was f i r s t decided to assume identical B-L curves for both types of fractures. Results obtained with a linear B-L relationship are shown in fig 5.13. The variation of velocity(L) with L, for both the fractures, are seen to.be identical. Hence, i t is seen that the velocity-length curves are useful in studying the influence of various aperture-length relations. The rate of flow, however, should be different because of the axisymmetric nature of the horizontal fracture and the constant height assumed for the vertical fracture. Next, the effect of two different shapes of B-L curves on L-L are examined. The B-L curves assumed are shown in fig 5.14 and the results that correspond to them are shown in fig 5.15. From f i g 5.15, the following could be deduced; (a) i f aperture is linear in length, L is also linear in L (b) i f the magnitude of the aperture is constant with L, L decreases with L (c) for a given length of fracture, for higher apertures the 107 B = (.533* 1.333L )«10' P = 4500 lbf/ft2 p,= 6000 distance from wellbore axis (ft) Fig(5-13) Results of the flow analysis with identical B-L curves for both fractures 108 BrL/IOOCK / *B=-004 / ^^C% - L / 2000 0 4 , 8 12 length (L) -Fi.

With increasing length of propagation, the pressure losses are likely to be higher since the area of material exposed is high. Hence, at larger fracture lengths, a considerable flattening of the B-L curves could be expected, which would eventually lead to lower velocities of propagation. The rate of flow inside a fracture varies with B 3. Therefore, the change in magnitude of B has a significant influence on the rate of flow. The horizontal fracture is axisymmetric in nature and the vertical fracture has been assumed to propagate with a prescribed height. The aperture(B) obtained for the horizontal fracture is seen to be higher than that for the vertical fracture at larger fracture lengths. As a result, the rate of flow for the horizontal fracture is seen to increase rapidly with length of propagation. If the rate of pumping of f l u i d exceeds the rate of flow of fluid that a fracture can accommodate, a build up of wellbore pressure results. If this increased wellbore pressure exceeds the secondary or the major principal total stress on a plane outcropping the fluid boundaries, a secondary fracture w i l l form in that plane. The resulting increase in the capacity will automatically reduce the wellbore pressure and w i l l be followed by an increase in the rate of flow to satisfy volume compatibility. Therefore, i f the rate of pumping changes significantly during fluid fracture operations, injection 1 12 pressure time variations that are significantly different from those corresponding to primary fracture propagation could result. The injection pressure-time data reported by Holzhausen et al(24) have been obtained under irregular rates of pumping of steam and may have been a result of such secondary fracturing, the rate effects probably playing a dominant role. The inter-dependency of the rate of pumping and the wellbore pressure, as reported by Settari & Raisbeck(37), is illustrated in fig(5.17). The consistent pattern of increase of the injection pressure with the rate of pumping supports the above reasoning. The flow of fl u i d inside a fracture is accompanied by a drop in f l u i d pressure with distance. If the pressure drops are ignored, the finite element analyses predict fractures that are unstable at a l l lengths of propagation. Hence, for proper modelling of fluid induced fracture behaviour this effect must be included. 5.2.4 Shape of the fractures It is of interest to examine the shape and the volume of the fractures that correspond to the different pressure distributions. The shapes obtained with uniform and non-uniform (given by equation 3.6) pressure distributions that correspond to the same maximum pressure, are compared in figs 5.18(a) and 5.18(b). The shape of the vertical fracture obtained for a uniform pressure profile is seen to be close to the theoretical e l l i p t i c a l shape and is shown in fig 5.18(a). The non-uniform 113 114 (a) uniform pressure non-uniform pressure (b) 1 2 3 4 fracture length(ft) uniform pressure non-uniform pressure 2 3 fracture length(ft) Fig(5-18) The shape of the fracture with uniform and non uniform pressure profiles (a) ve r t i ca l fracture (b) horizontal fracture 1 15 pressure distribution has lead to a flattening of the tip region. The cross-sectional area of the fracture for this case is seen to be somewhat lower than for the uniform presure distribution. The shape of the horizontal fracture obtained in the case of uniform pressure, digresses from the e l l i p t i c a l shape. Such a variation is thought to be a result of a major portion of the strains being relieved in the vertical direction due to the presence of a free surface. For the non-uniform pressure distribution, as in the vertical fractures, the tip area indicates a flattening together with a slight change of curvature. The cross sectional area of the fracture is seen to be smaller for the non-uniform distribution. The magnitude of the maximum opening obtained for the horizontal fracture is seen to be higher than that of the vertical fracture for both uniform and non-uniform pressure distributions. Even though the cross-sectional areas of the horizontal and vertical fractures, for a given pressure distribution, are approximately equal(for the case shown in figs 5.18(a) & 5.18(b)),the volume is seen to be higher for the horizontal fracture because of i t s axisymmetric nature and the height assumed for the vertical fracture. 1 16 CHAPTER 6 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS A method of analysis for the initiation and propagation of fluid induced fracture in Oilsand has been developed. The propagation of a fluid induced fracture involves a coupled stress and fluid flow analysis. This is solved herein by f i r s t considering the stress and the flow analyses separately. The results are then coupled through volume compatibility between the quantity of fluid pumped in and the volume of the fracture. For the stress analysis, linear-elastic and elastic-plastic stress strain relations have been assumed for the unfractured and fractured material, respectively. The stress analysis is based on a total stress approach. For the fluid flow analysis, the fractures are approximated as parabolic in shape. The flow of f l u i d between the fracture faces is assumed to be described' by parallel plate flow equations. The flu i d flow analysis has been restricted to steady, incompressible, laminar flow of a Newtonian f l u i d . The analyses performed assume a vertical-horizontal in-situ principal stress orientation. For horizontal fractures, three dimensional axisymmetric analyses have been performed. For vertical fractures, the analyses have been restricted to two dimensions. The magnitude of the fracture initiation pressure is strongly dependent on the intrusion of fluid into the medium. The use of high viscosity fluids or low viscosity f l u i d with high rates of pumping, causing partial fluid penetration, leads 1 17 to a fracture initiation pressure that is significantly higher than for a low viscosity fluid with low rates of pumping. However, the estimation of the instantaneous shut-in pressure is independent of the type of flu i d used. For f l u i d fracturing in Oilsand, with penetrating fluids, the analysis predicts a fracture initiation pressure that is equal in magnitude to the in-situ minor principal total stress that correspond to the location of the fracture. Fracture propagation can be considered as a new initiation subjected to the current stresses of the domain and the current boundary fl u i d pressures. Fluid induced fracture propagation requires the transmission of fluid inside the opening, which is possible only with an open mode fracture. The common assumption that the path of propagation is perpendicular to the in-situ minor principal stress direction has been removed. Instead, a direction perpendicular to the minor principal stress direction at the tip of the fracture is considered. The fracture c r i t e r i a predict the path of propagation based on the computed stresses at the end of each increment of fracture length. The presence of a flu i d pressurized fracture changes the state of stress of the domain in the vic i n i t y of the fracture and thus the orientation of the principal stresses. Hence, the true behaviour of a fluid induced fracture can only be simulated by analysing the propagation of the fracture incrementally, taking account of the stress changes caused in its course of propagation. For fractures initiating in a medium where the i n i t i a l in-1 18 situ minor principal stress direction is vertical, a path of propagation inclined towards the ground surface is predicted. This occurs once the fracture length propagates to a distance about the depth of the fracture from the ground surface. These results are in agreement with f i e l d observations of actual fracture operations and theoretical predictions. Propagation of a vertical fracture, under high rates of pumping of fl u i d , is limited in extent. For a selected wellbore pressure and fluid viscosity, a horizontal fracture exhibits a rapidly increasing fluid carrying capacity with length, than a vertical fracture. The velocity of propagation of a horizontal fracture increases with length with an increasing gradient, whereas for a vertical fracture i t increases with a decreasing gradient. Loss of fluid pressure resulting from leakage of fluid to the surrounding medium and the limiting values of rates of pumping experienced in practice, would reduce the velocity of propagation of the fractures. In fluid induced fracturing with rates of pumping higher than those corresponding to the maximum possible rate of flow in a vertical fracture, fractures must be dominently horizontal in orientation. The effects of rate of pumping of fl u i d on the propagation behaviour of fractures, which has been overlooked by a number of researchers in the literature, is seen to be important. The injection pressure time records obtained under high rates of pumping are considerably different from those obtained for primary fracture operations under low rates of pumping. The predictions of ground displacements and fracture shape 119 from the fin i t e element analyses are in good agreement with the theoretical closed form solution results. 120 CHAPTER 7 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH As described in Chapter-3 and discussed in Chapter-5, the analysis approximates the shape of the fracture with a parabola. It was also seen that such an approximation simplified the fluid flow formulations considerably. The shape of the fracture is important in determining the fluid pressure distribution inside the fracture. The correct pressures can be obtained only if the correct shapes are used. Such an analysis requires the fracture to be represented by its real shape. The above can be achieved by incorporating a numerical integration scheme to perform the volume calculations. The analysis can then be extended for a number of iterations to obtain a consistent shape-pressure distribution. The pressure profile described by Daneshy(l2) can be used as a f i r s t approximation in such an analysis. The flow model can further be developed by including multiphase, non-Newtonian fluids. The boundary traction forces exerted by the flow of fluid and the effects of leakage on the resulting pressure distribution could also be examined. Further, the temperature aspects of the problem can also be included. The behaviour of a porous material is governed by the effective stresses. By incorporating a pore pressure model to represent the pore fl u i d behaviour of Oilsand, the analysis can be extended to an effective stress approach. The complexity of the pore fluid of Oilsand requires the consideration of ideal gas laws. The actual f l u i d induced fracture problem is a truly 3D 121 problem. The model developed in this thesis cannot incorporate vertical and horizontal fractures simultaneously. For this reason, the observations such as fracture roll-over from horizontal to vertical or vice versa cannot be examined. Such behaviour can be examined only by a true 3D modelling program. 122 REFERENCES 1 .

For a uniform pressure distribution this will be the wellbore pressure. The next fracture susceptible element is the element with the highest Fracture Potential. (say i t occurs in element 1+1). STEP-7 Return to STEP-3. Substitute 1+1 for I and repeat the analysis. Continue until the fracture extends the required length.

For rectangular elements|J| is a constant. Hence, the product of the matrices [B][D][B] .IJ| contains terms such as s 2 , t 2 , s t . Therefore, a Gauss quadrature of 2x2 is sufficient for the numerical evaluation of the integral given in equation B.24 (i.e. 2*2 is good enough for a cubic polynomial). Accordingly, For n=4, w = .1 and hence, equation B.25 can be written as; where, f(s,t) represents the integrand of equation B.24 and f ( s j , t f ) represents the value of the integrand at the Gaussian points and w is a weight attached to the Gauss quadrature.

[ "# Iterative methods for non-conforming finite elements\n\n## Dr. Ivan Georgiev\n\nApril 25, 2007, 2 p.m. HF 136\n\nNon-conforming rotated multilinear finite elements were introduced by Rannacher and Turek (R. Rannacher, S. Turek 1992) as a class of simple elements for stable discretization of the Stokes problem.\n\nThe recent activities in the development of efficient solution methods for non-conforming finite element systems are inspired by their attractive properties as a stable discretization tools for ill-conditioned problems. The model anisotropic elliptic second order boundary value problem is considered. Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient iterative method is used for iterative solution of the resulting linear algebraic system. Two preconditioning algorithms are presented.\n\nModified Incomplete Cholesky (MIC(0)) preconditioner belongs to the class of incomplete LU factorization methods. Modification of the stiffness matrix is the first step of the algorithm, then MIC(0) factorization is applied. This approach is applied for precondition-ing of separate displacement components of the rotated trilinear FEM elasticity systems.\n\nA real-life benchmark problems are presented. Preconditioners based on various multilevel extensions of two-level finite element methods lead to iterative methods which often have an optimal order computational complexity with respect to the number of degrees of freedom of the system. Such methods were first presented by Axelsson and Vassilevski [O. Axelsson, P. Vassilevski 89&90], and are based on (recursive) two-level splittings of the finite element space. The key role in the derivation of optimal convergence rate estimates plays the constant γ in the so-called strengthened Cauchy-Bunyakowski-Schwarz (CBS) inequality, associated with the angle between the two subspaces of the splitting. The proposed variants of hierarchical two-level basis are first introduced in a rather general setting. Then, the involved parameters are studied and optimized. The major contribution is the derived estimates of the constant in the strengthened CBS inequality which is shown to allow the efficient multilevel extension of the related two-level preconditioners. Representative numerical tests well illustrate the optimal complexity of the resulting iterative solver." ]

[ "# The Four Color Theorem\n\nThis page gives a brief summary of a new proof of the Four Color Theorem and a four-coloring algorithm found by Neil Robertson, Daniel P. Sanders, Paul Seymour and Robin Thomas.", null, "History.\n\nThe Four Color Problem dates back to 1852 when Francis Guthrie, while trying to color the map of counties of England noticed that four colors sufficed. He asked his brother Frederick if it was true that any map can be colored using four colors in such a way that adjacent regions (i.e. those sharing a common boundary segment, not just a point) receive different colors. Frederick Guthrie then communicated the conjecture to DeMorgan. The first printed reference is due to Cayley in 1878.\n\nA year later the first `proof' by Kempe appeared; its incorrectness was pointed out by Heawood 11 years later. Another failed proof is due to Tait in 1880; a gap in the argument was pointed out by Petersen in 1891. Both failed proofs did have some value, though. Kempe discovered what became known as Kempe chains, and Tait found an equivalent formulation of the Four Color Theorem in terms of 3-edge-coloring.\n\nThe next major contribution came from Birkhoff whose work allowed Franklin in 1922 to prove that the four color conjecture is true for maps with at most 25 regions. It was also used by other mathematicians to make various forms of progress on the four color problem. We should specifically mention Heesch who developed the two main ingredients needed for the ultimate proof - reducibility and discharging. While the concept of reducibility was studied by other researchers as well, it appears that the idea of discharging, crucial for the unavoidability part of the proof, is due to Heesch, and that it was he who conjectured that a suitable development of this method would solve the Four Color Problem.\n\nThis was confirmed by Appel and Haken in 1976, when they published their proof of the Four Color Theorem [1,2].\n\nWhy a new proof?\n\nThere are two reasons why the Appel-Haken proof is not completely satisfactory.\n\n• Part of the Appel-Haken proof uses a computer, and cannot be verified by hand, and\n• even the part that is supposedly hand-checkable is extraordinarily complicated and tedious, and as far as we know, no one has verified it in its entirety.\nWe have in fact tried to verify the Appel-Haken proof, but soon gave up. Checking the computer part would not only require a lot of programming, but also inputing the descriptions of 1476 graphs, and that was not even the most controversial part of the proof.\n\nWe decided that it would be more profitable to work out our own proof. So we did and came up with a proof and an algorithm that are described below.\n\nOutline of the proof.\n\nThe basic idea of the proof is the same as Appel and Haken's. We exhibit a set of 633 \"configurations\", and prove each of them is \"reducible\". This is a technical concept that implies that no configuration with this property can appear in a minimal counterexample to the Four Color Theorem. It can also be used in an algorithm, for if a reducible configuration appears in a planar graph G, then one can construct in constant time a smaller planar graph G' such that any four-coloring of G' can be converted to a four-coloring of G in linear time.\n\nIt has been known since 1913 that every minimal counterexample to the Four Color Theorem is an internally 6-connected triangulation. In the second part of the proof we prove that at least one of our 633 configurations appears in every internally 6-connected planar triangulation (not necessarily a minimal counterexample to the 4CT). This is called proving unavoidability, and uses the \"discharging method\", first suggested by Heesch. Here our method differs from that of Appel and Haken.\n\nMain features of our proof.\n\nWe confirm a conjecture of Heesch that in proving unavoidability, a reducible configuration can be found in the second neighborhood of an \"overcharged\" vertex; this is how we avoid \"immersion\" problems that were a major source of complication for Appel and Haken. Our unavoidable set has size 633 as opposed to the 1476 member set of Appel and Haken, and our discharging method uses only 32 discharging rules, instead of the 300+ of Appel and Haken. Finally, we obtain a quadratic algorithm to four-color planar graphs (described later), an improvement over the quartic algorithm of Appel and Haken.\n\nConfigurations.\n\nA near-triangulation is a non-null connected loopless plane graph such that every finite region is a triangle. A configuration K consists of a near-triangulation G and a map g from V(G) to the integers with the following properties:\n\n1. for every vertex v, G\\v has at most two components, and if there are two, then the degree of v is g(v)-2,\n2. for every vertex v, if v is not incident with the infinite region, then g(v) equals the degree of v, and otherwise g(v) is greater than the degree of v; and in either case g(v)> 4,\n3. K has ring-size at least 2, where the ring-size of K is defined to be the sum of g(v)-deg(v)-1, summed over all vertices v incident with the infinite region such that G\\v is connected.\n\nWhen drawing pictures of configurations we use a convention introduced by Heesch. The shapes of vertices indicate the value of g(v) as follows: A solid black circle means g(v)=5, a dot (or what appears in the picture as no symbol at all) means g(v)=6, a hollow circle means g(v)=7, a hollow square means g(v)=8, a triangle means g(v)=9, and a pentagon means g(v)=10. (We do not need vertices v with g(v)> 11, and only one vertex with g(v)=11, for which we do not use any special symbol.) In the picture below 17 of our 633 reducible configurations are displayed using the indicated convention. The whole set can be viewed by clicking here. (We refer to (3.2) of our paper for the meaning of \"thick edges\" and \"half-edges\" in those pictures.)", null, "Any configuration isomorphic to one of the 633 configurations exhibited in is called a good configuration. Let T be a triangulation. A configuration K=(G,g) appears in T if G is an induced subgraph of T, every finite region of G is a region of T, and g(v) equals the degree of v in T for every vertex v of G. We prove the following two statements.\n\nTHEOREM 1. If T is a minimal counterexample to the Four Color Theorem, then no good configuration appears in T.\n\nTHEOREM 2. For every internally 6-connected triangulation T, some good configuration appears in T.\n\nFrom the above two theorems it follows that no minimal counterexample exists, and so the 4CT is true. The first proof needs a computer. The second can be checked by hand in a few months, or, using a computer, it can be verified in about 20 minutes.\n\nDischarging rules.\n\nLet T be an internally 6-connected triangulation. Initially, every vertex v is assigned a charge of 10(6-deg(v)). It follows from Euler's formula that the sum of the charges of all vertices is 120; in particular, it is positive. We now redistribute the charges according to the following rules, as follows. Whenever T has a subgraph isomorphic to one of the graphs in the figure below satisfying the degree specifications (for a vertex v of a rule with a minus sign next to v this means that the degree of the corresponding vertex of T is at most the value specified by the shape of v, and analogously for vertices with a plus sign next to them; equality is required for vertices with no sign next to them) a charge of one (two in case of the first rule) is to be sent along the edge marked with an arrow.", null, "This procedure defines a new set of charges with the same total sum. Since the total sum is positive, there is a vertex v in T whose new charge is positive. We show that a good configuration appears in the second neighborhood of v.\n\nIf the degree of v is at most 6 or at least 12, then this can be seen fairly easily by a direct argument. For the remaining cases, however, the proofs are much more complicated. Therefore, we have written the proofs in a formal language so that they can be verified by a computer. Each individual step of these proofs is human-verifiable, but the proofs themselves are not really checkable by hand, because of their length.\n\nPointers.\n\nThe theoretical part of our proof is described in . A 10-page survey is available on-line. The computer data and programs used to be located on an anonymous ftp server, but that server has been phased out. The same files are now available from http://people.math.gatech.edu/~thomas/OLDFTP/four/ and can be conveniently viewed. An independent set of programs was written by Gasper Fijavz under the guidance of Bojan Mohar.\n\nThe input to the algorithm will be a plane triangulation G with n vertices. (This is without loss of generality, as any planar graph can be triangulated in linear time.) The output will be a coloring of the vertices of G with four colors.\n\nIf G has at most four vertices color each vertex a different color. Otherwise if G has a vertex x of degree k < 5, then the circuit C surrounding it is a `k-ring'. Go to the k-ring analysis below. Otherwise G has minimum degree five. For every vertex we compute its charge as explained above, and find a vertex v of positive charge. It follows from our proof of Theorem 2 that either a good configuration appears in the second neighborhood of v (it which case it can be found in linear time), or a k-ring violating the definition of internal 6-connection can be found in linear time. In the latter case we go to the k-ring analysis below, in the former case we apply recursion to a certain smaller graph. A four-coloring of G can then be constructed from the four-coloring of this smaller graph in linear time.\n\nGiven a k-ring R violating the definition of internal 6-connection a procedure developed by Birkhoff can be used. We apply recursion to two carefully selected subgraphs of G. A four-coloring of G can then be constructed from the four-colorings of the two smaller graphs in linear time.\n\nDiscussion.\n\nWe should mention that both our programs use only integer arithmetic, and so we need not be concerned with round-off errors and similar dangers of floating point arithmetic. However, an argument can be made that our `proof' is not a proof in the traditional sense, because it contains steps that can never be verified by humans. In particular, we have not proved the correctness of the compiler we compiled our programs on, nor have we proved the infallibility of the hardware we ran our programs on. These have to be taken on faith, and are conceivably a source of error. However, from a practical point of view, the chance of a computer error that appears consistently in exactly the same way on all runs of our programs on all the compilers under all the operating systems that our programs run on is infinitesimally small compared to the chance of a human error during the same amount of case-checking. Apart from this hypothetical possibility of a computer consistently giving an incorrect answer, the rest of our proof can be verified in the same way as traditional mathematical proofs. We concede, however, that verifying a computer program is much more difficult than checking a mathematical proof of the same length.\n\nAcknowledgements.\n\nWe are indebted to Thomas Fowler, Christopher Carl Heckman and Barrett Walls for their help with preparing this page.

[ "", null, "CrossCorrelation2D - Maple Help\n\nSignalProcessing\n\n CrossCorrelation2D\n calculate the cross-correlation between a pair of one- or two-dimensional rtables", null, "Calling Sequence CrossCorrelation2D( A, B, options )", null, "Parameters\n\n A, B - two one- or two-dimensional rtables container - (optional) container to compute and store the cross-correlation", null, "Description\n\n • The CrossCorrelation2D command takes two 1-D or 2-D rtables and computes their 2-D cross-correlation.\n • The inputs are converted to Matrices of complex datatype, and an error will be thrown if this is not possible. For this reason, it is most efficient for the inputs to already be Matrices having datatype complex.\n • The cross-correlation is computed via Discrete or Fast Fourier Transforms (DFTs or FFTs), but the result is equivalent to the standard definition (see example below). However, there may be numerical artifacts in the result that are small in size.\n • Suppose Matrices A and B, respectively, have dimensions (a,b) and (c,d), and define p=a+c-1 and q=b+d-1. Then, the cross-correlation Matrix of dimension (p,q) is given by the formula\n\n${C}_{i,j}={\\sum }_{r=1}^{a}\\phantom{\\rule[-0.0ex]{0.4em}{0.0ex}}{\\sum }_{s=1}^{b}{A}_{r,s}\\stackrel{&conjugate0;}{{B}_{r-i+c,s-j+d}}$\n\n where A is assumed to be zero outside of the range of indices (1..a,1..b), and B is assumed to be zero outside of the range of indices (1..c,1..d).\n • FFTs are used when p and q, where p and q are as in the definition above, are powers of 2 and no less than 4 in value. Consequently, if p and q are both a little smaller than a power of 2, the user may want to pad the original Matrices with zeros. See below for an example.\n • If the container=C option is provided, then the results are stored in C. The container must have dimensions (p,q), and datatype complex.\n • If A is empty with no elements, a and b are both taken to be zero. Similarly, c and d are both taken to be zero if B has no elements. If both A and B are empty, an error will be thrown because the cross-correlation would have no meaning. However, if, say, B is empty but A is not, then the cross-correlation would be a zero Matrix of size (a-1,b-1).\n • As the underlying implementation of the SignalProcessing package is a module, it is also possible to use the form SignalProcessing:-CrossCorrelation2D to access the command from the package.
