Nuclear logging is one of most important logging services provided by many oil service companies. The main parameters of interest are formation porosity, bulk density, and natural radiation. Other services are also provided from using complex nuclear logging tools, such as formation lithology/mineralogy, etc. Some parameters can be measured by using neutron logging tools and some can only be me...

Logging activities within the forestry sector commonly take several seasons for each region. Throughout each season, the workers directly involved within the logging activities are hosted at an accommodation close to the current logging location. However, the next cities or villages are usually far away. A common solution to this problem is the construction of logging camps that contain the com...

In the recovery of failed processes in a distributed program, causal logging schemes offer several benefits. These benefits include no rollback of unfailedprocesses and simple approaches to output commit. Unfortunately, previous approaches to the recovery of multiple simultaneous failures require that the distributed execution be blocked or that recovering processes coordinate. The latter requi...

Over 20% of the world's tropical forests have been selectively logged, and large expanses are allocated for future timber extraction. Reduced-impact logging (RIL) is being promoted as best practice forestry that increases sustainability and lowers CO2 emissions from logging, by reducing collateral damage associated with timber extraction. RIL is also expected to minimize the impacts of selectiv...

The expansion of selective logging in tropical forests may be an important source of global carbon emissions. However, the effects of logging practices on the carbon cycle have never been quantified over long periods of time. We followed the fate of more than 60 000 tropical trees over 23 years to assess changes in aboveground carbon stocks in 48 1.56-ha plots in French Guiana that represent a ...

Up till now, there is no production logging data interpretation module in CIFLog, which is the 3rd generation well-logging software platform in China. So the situation has a strong impact on its promotion and utilization. In this paper, firstly, the authors introduce the characteristics of the existing and mature logging interpretation software, and design the data interpretation module functio...

This paper presents a new algorithm for supporting fault tolerant objects in distributed object oriented systems. The fault tolerance provided by the algorithm is fully user transparent. The algorithm uses checkpointing and message logging scheme. However the novelty of this scheme is in identifying the checkpointing instances such that the checkpointing time will not aaect the regular response...

1. INTRODUCTION Current databases need logging and recovery to maintain the correctness properties of transactions and consistency of the database under failures. Also, logging and recovery have tremendous performance implications. While there has been a lot of work that deals with logging and recovery algorithms for traditional disk resident databases ([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) and Main Memory Database...

Logging of input and output variables is very useful in computational steering. In this paper we describe how we added logging functionality to a computational steering environment developed at CWI. We show how a 2D interface can be augmented with logging by using the third dimension for the display of the logged variables. The user specifies which graphical representations of variables must be...

PROBLEM It is well documented that logging is one of the most dangerous occupations and industries in which to work, and trees fellers are at greatest risk of injury. The objective of this study was to determine whether West Virginia (WV) logging companies experienced a reduction in injuries after beginning to use feller-bunchers (tree cutting machines, which replace some of the work done with ...
