Does decision quality (always) increase with the size of information samples? Some vicissitudes in applying the law of large numbers.

Adaptive decision making requires that contingencies between decision options and their relative assets be assessed accurately and quickly. The present research addresses the challenging notion that contingencies may be more visible from small than from large samples of observations. An algorithmic account for such a seemingly paradoxical effect is offered within a satisficing-choice framework. Accordingly, a choice is only made when the sample contingency describing the relative evaluation of the 2 options exceeds a critical threshold. Small samples, because of the high dispersion of their sampling distribution, facilitate above-threshold contingencies. Across a broad range of parameters, the resulting small-sample advantage in terms of hits is stronger than their disadvantage in false alarms. Computer simulations and experiments support the model predictions. The relative advantage of small samples is most apparent when information loss is low, when the threshold is high relative to the ecological contingency, and when the sampling process is self-truncated.

Flow Reaction Forces upon Blowdown of Safety Valves

The activation of safety valves causes the development of flow reaction forces that have to be transferred in an adequate way via the piping to the steel structure or via the connected vessel into the foundation. If the safety valve outlet piping is connected to a blowdown system or, in case of blowing off into the atmosphere, are equipped with a T‐piece at the outlet, the stationary reaction forces are compensated completely. The transient opening process, however, develops flow reaction forces which culminate in peaks of short duration. In this article, a simple method will be proposed for the estimation of the resulting reaction forces as a function of the length of the pipe at the safety valve outlet. CFD calculations and blowdown tests executed with a full‐lift safety valve have confirmed this method on principle. Special importance is attributed to the short duration of the effect of the reaction forces which seems to have only a negligible impact on the supporting steel structure.     

大庆长垣以东地区深层天然气输导特征及成藏

大庆长垣以东地区深层天然气输导通道主要由断裂、不整合面和砂体构成。该区砂体横向分布不稳定，物性差，不是天然气侧向长距离运移的输导通道，但可以起到衔接输导作用。输导通道时该区天然气成藏与分布起到了重要控制作用，主要表现在断裂将天然气输导致上覆不同储集层中聚集成藏。不整合面和砂体将天然气输导到四周古隆起上聚集成藏。沿断裂输导的天然气形成以断层为主的构造气藏。沿不整合面和砂体输导的天然气形成以地层及岩性为主的气藏。沿断裂输导运移聚集的天然气在剖面上呈串多层分布，沿不整合面和砂体输导运移聚集的天然气在平面上呈环状分布。
