Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device may include receiving one or more measurements of drilling parameters. In addition, the computing device may include accessing historical drilling logs for one or more wells in a geographic region. Also, the computing device may include training, using one or more processors, a machine learning model to determine predicted values for a triple combo log for a new well in the geographic region. Further, the computing device may include determining, using the one or more processors, one or more formation properties from the triple combo log. In addition, the computing device may include determining, using the one or more processors, an adjustment to one or more drilling parameters based at least on the one or more formation properties. The adjustment can be applied to a drilling process on a drilling rig.

Abstract: Hip arthroplasty apparatus and methods are described to determine an orientation of an acetabular cup impactor, the acetabular cup impactor being moveable to a desired orientation relative to a patient's pelvic region for implantation of an acetabular cup. In one embodiment an electronic orientation sensor is transitionable between a first location on the patient's pelvic region and a second location on the acetabular cup impactor. At the first location, the orientation sensor is adapted to record a reference orientation of the patient's pelvic region. At the second location the orientation sensor is adapted to determine an orientation of the acetabular cup impactor relative to the reference orientation.

Abstract: Mixed-phase TiO2 nanofibers prepared via a sol-gel technique followed by electrospinning and calcination are provided as photocatalysts. The calcination temperature is adjusted to control the rutile phase fraction in TiO2 nanofibers relative to the anatase phase. Post-calcined TiO2 nanofibers composed of 38 wt % rutile and 62 wt % anatase exhibited the highest initial rate constant of UV photocatalysis. This can be attributed to the combined influences of the fibers' specific surface areas and their phase compositions.
