2D seismic reflection and wellbore data were used to investigate the structure and stratigraphy of the East Pande block, offshore Tanzania, allowing an assessment to be made of basin development and ...the occurrence of petroleum system elements. Interpretation of the 2D seismic data showed that patterns of sedimentation were controlled by the Cretaceous- Quaternary oceanic circulation (including bottom currents) together with sea level changes and the basin-ward input of detrital material from the Tanzania mainland, resulting in the development of at least five reservoir-seal combinations. The identified reservoir rocks include hybrid turbidite-contourite deposits together with channel sands and their associated levee successions which have moderate porosity and a low shale volume. Regionally, the hybrid turbidite-contourite deposits have not been studied in detail; their presence in the East Pande area may be of interest to both local and regional researchers. Potential structural traps in the study area include faults and local folds; another trapping mechanism is provided by stratigraphic pinch-outs which are characterized in seismic data by flat spots indicative of hydrocarbon accumulations. Deep-rooted faults and erosive channel bases are interpreted to have allowed petroleum migration from underlying source rocks to shallower reservoir intervals. The mapped faults in the study area have N–S to NNW-SSE trends which conform to the Permo-Triassic fault systems of the coastal Tanzania basin. This suggests that the locations and orientations of younger faults was controlled by the pre-existing structural grain linked to Karoo (Permo-Triassic) faulting. The results of this study suggest that the East Pande area offshore Tanzania may have significant petroleum prospectivity.
•Interpretation of 2D seismic data and well logs of the East Pande block was done.•Petroleum system elements have been identified in different stratigraphic levels.•Reservoir rocks are contained in the hybrid turbidite-contourite and channel sands.•The East Pande block contains both stratigraphic and structural traps.•Gas chimneys and flat spots suggest a working petroleum system in the East Pande.
La comunidad cientifica se encuentra ante uno de sus mayores retos para resolver un problema sanitario de alcance global como es la pandemia del Covid-19. Esta situacion ha generado un volumen de ...publicaciones sin precedentes, pero ?cual es el volumen, en terminos de publicaciones, de la investigacion sobre Covid-19? Conseguir una vision global sobre el crecimiento diario de la produccion cientifica sobre Covid-19 en diferentes fuentes de informacion (Dimensions, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, PubMed y ocho repositorios) es el objetivo general de este trabajo de investigacion. En relacion a los resultados obtenidos, Dimensions indexa un total de 9.435 publicaciones (69% con revision por pares y 2.677 preprints) muy por encima de Scopus (1.568) y WoS (718). Nos encontramos ante un fenomeno clasico bibliometrico de crecimiento exponencial (R.sup.2 =0,92). El ritmo de crecimiento a nivel global es de 500 publicaciones diarias en los ultimos dias y la produccion de duplica cada 15 dias. En el caso de PubMed el crecimiento semanal esta en torno a las 1.000 publicaciones, tanto en Dimensions como en LitCovid. De los ocho repositorios analizados se situan a la cabeza PubMed Central, medRxiv y SSRN, a pesar de la enorme contribucion de estos las revistas siguen siendo el nucleo de la comunicacion cientifica. Finalmente se ha establecido que tres de cada cuatro publicaciones sobre el Covid-19 estan disponibles en acceso abierto. Estas cifras exigen una respuesta de los profesionales de la informacion ante una explosion de informacion sin precedentes que nos situa en el centro de la pandemia informativa.

The scientific community is facing one of its greatest challenges in solving a global health problem: the Covid-19 pandemic. This situation has generated an unprecedented volume of publications. What is the volume of scientific publications on Covid-19? The general objective of this research work is to obtain a global vision of the daily growth of scientific production on Covid-19 in various databases (Dimensions, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, PubMed, and eight repositories). In relation to the results obtained, Dimensions indexes a total of 9,435 publications (69% with peer review and 2,677 preprints) well above Scopus (1,568) and WoS (718). This is a classic bibliometric phenomenon of exponential growth (R.sup.2 = 0.92). The daily global growth rate is 500 publications and the production doubles every 15 days. In the case of PubMed the weekly growth is around 1,000 publications. Of the eight repositories studied, PubMed Central, medRxiv and SSRN are the leaders, but despite their contribution, journals continue to be the core of scientific communication. Finally, it has been established that three of every four publications on the Covid-19 are available in open access. The information explosion which places us, information professionals, at the centre of the information pandemic demands a serious and coordinated response.

La educación durante los últimos años viene haciendo un llamado a la transformación constante debido, tanto al desarrollo de la tecnología, como al reciente evento mundial de la pandemia del ...COVID-19. El objetivo de este artículo reflexivo se centra en el reconocimiento de lo que generó la educación confinada y las posibilidades del uso de algunos dispositivos tecnológicos y herramientas digitales que se pudieron adoptar y adaptar a las diversas situaciones, saberes y contextos de las comunidades educativas. De otro lado, busca comprender el reclamo a algunas instituciones educativas rurales y urbanas para la transformación de la educación acordes a los retos y desafíos del siglo XXI. Con una metodología de corte cualitativo y el uso de la técnica de análisis documental, se utilizaron para la recolección y organización de la información instrumentos como matrices, fichas de análisis de categorías y fichas de análisis bibliográfico, lo cual permitió agrupar y clasificar la información para su posterior interpretación y producción reflexiva. Como conclusión principal se resalta la importancia para todos los actores educativos, de adquirir la conciencia contextualizada, en cuanto a la serie de cambios que se vienen presentando en los últimos años en el sistema educativo.
God Almighty in his manifestations as Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva (Tri Murti) is an object of substance that can be reached by Hindu society to be revered. Of the three manifestations of God, ...Pande’s ancestors were worshipers of God Brahma as the main deity. This is related to the profession that put into operation is ‘memande’ at perapen (per-api-an) to make household appliance and various weapons. Brahma god symbolized as fire (agni) is of course considered the closest in providing holy rays, protection, rezeki abundant and prosperity for the class of Pande in carrying out his profession. The worship of the God Brahma is evident during the celebration of the Tumpek Landep holy day which falls every 210 days. Tumpek Landep used as a medium of respect for God in the form of Brahma as the whole nature creator included of earth elements made from metal, such as iron, steel, gold, silver, and copper. Therefore, between Tumpek Landep and Perapen are closely related and even become a symbol of identity booster for the existence class of Pande in Bali.
In this work, the distinct lattice spring model (DLSM) is further developed for handling practical geotechnical problems. The Zienkiewicz-Pande (ZP) constitutive model is implemented into the DLSM ...for a better prediction of soil plasticity. The beam finite element is introduced to simulate supporting structures. The birth–death particle method is developed for the DLSM to simulate the multistage construction. The accuracy and stability of the enriched DLSM are verified against both analytical solutions and numerical results from well-established commercial software. Following this, the enriched DLSM is applied to analyze the stability of one actual deep foundation pit construction project, and its numerical prediction is compared with the actual monitoring data. Finally, a preliminary trial on the design of the foundation pit supporting structure is carried out by using the enriched DLSM. These applications show that the enriched DLSM can be an alternative numerical method for the stability and collapse analysis of deep foundation pit excavation.
Discussions of Zadie Smith's 2000 novel White Teeth have often focused on the novel as an example of optimistic multiculturalism, seeing both the eclectic style and characters as representative of a ...modern, diverse London. This article moves away from this reading of the text and instead takes a historical approach that draws on concepts of nostalgia and memory. Specifically, it examines how the novel's discussion of Mangal Pande, supposed instigator of the 1857 Indian Rebellion, allows the South Asian characters to reckon with their complex relationship with British colonial violence. By exploring a figure of colonial resistance alongside a narrative of modern-day Britain, Smith shows that memories of the British Empire are still embedded in the everyday lives of British South Asians, and consequently act as both a help and a hindrance to anti-racism activism and the possibilities of successful multiculturalism.
