Estimation of Pile Deviation at Slope Using Finite Element Method
Abstract: This paper presents results and discussion of the pile deviation, which occurred during slope construction at the Depot LRT Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru (KKSB) Ampang Line Extension Project. The piles at RW5 slope area deviated for almost 1 m from its original location which caused tremendous cost impact to mitigate and was time consuming. An investigation was carried out by referring to the Geotechnical Assessment Report and the simulation work …

Artificial Intelligence for Tracking Cognitive Deviation in Aging Populations: A Comprehensive Review of Techniques, Challenges, and Ethical Concerns
Abstract: Population aging is accelerating worldwide, and with it the burden of cognitive health conditions such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and dementia. Detecting and monitoring cognitive change early is central to timely intervention, yet conventional diagnostic tools often miss the subtle signals that appear before overt symptoms. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising complement to clinical assessment because it can work through high-dimensional data and …

Breathing prediction of fracture deviated wellbore through flooding mechanism
Abstract: Wellbore breathing is a common occurrence during drilling operations, but the down hole mechanism and how it manifests itself in surface and subsurface processes, is not well understood. It often result in a drilling fluid gain at surface and are misidentified as a kick, resulting in unneeded shut in periods and associated non-productive time (NPT). Further, misidentification of wellbore breathing as underbalance often results in increases in mud weight, which …

Robust Design of Damping Controller for Power System using a combination of Flower Optimization algorithm and Optimal Control Theory
Abstract: The power system experience low frequency oscillations due to various disturbances. It is verynecessary to damp these oscillations else it will endanger the system security and stability. High gainand fast acting excitation systems do not provide the necessary damping torque and it can provide thesufficient synchronising torque only. Lack of damping torque causes the oscillations of generator rotor,So, Power system stabilizer (PSS) is used in the proposed work along with …

The Application of Python Programming Language in the Automation of a Mathematical Model for Well Trajectory Selection Optimisation for a Given Field
Abstract: Directional drilling plays a major role in the exploration and recovery of hydrocarbons. There are three basic trajectories that a well may follow. They include; Build-and-Hold, Build-Hold-andDrop and Continuous-Build Trajectories. The selection of a trajectory is usually based on experience/trial and error approach and may be associated with errors. This work has therefore developed a mathematical model that optimised the automatic selection of a well trajectory type for a given …

Estimation of Drilling Waste Generation for Effective Waste Management
Abstract: Drilling operations remains the second generator of oil and gas waste after production activities. They are prominent among the primary sources of exploration and production waste. Wastes from drill cuttings and mud, and obnoxious gas emissions are the major contributors of these drilling wastes. These have direct and indirect impact on both humans and the environment. Poor estimation of waste may lead to solid and or liquid loadings at the …

The fundamental premises of efficient linear regression and applying Regression
Abstract: Linear regression is a statistical technique for estimating the value of a dependent variable from an independent variable. Linear regression is a way to assess how two variables are related.A dependent variable is predicted using this modelling technique based on one or more independent factors. Many analyses are based on linear regression. Sometimes the data must be changed to satisfy the needs of the analysis, or extra room must be …
