Producing a 3-dimensional Geological Model of Alberta: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) has been tasked with integrating digital stratigraphic data from a variety of sources to produce a regional 3-dimensional geological model of Alberta, often referred to as ‘The Framework’. This is a suitable model name, as it has been widely recognized that this model provides a framework to integrate our data and evaluate multidisciplinary correlations. The Framework will be delivered as a multi-scale geocellular model based on the properties of each stratigraphic unit within the regional modelling domain. However the success of this model is contingent on well documented and transparent processes to generate reproducible and scientifically credible predictions, as well ensure that users are properly informed as to the model limitations and uncertainties. This presentation will provide an overview of the processes used to build ‘The Framework’ including a look at the good, bad, and ugly aspects of building a dynamically integrated, geostatistical model.

Competition in Healthcare: Good, Bad or Ugly?
The role of competition in healthcare is much debated. Despite a wealth of international experience in relation to competition, evidence is mixed and contested and the debate about the potential role for competition is often polarised. This paper considers briefly some of the reasons for this, focusing on what is meant by “competition in healthcare” and why it is more valuable to think about th...

An important determinant of health system performance is contracting. Providers often respond to financial incentives, despite the ethical underpinnings of medicine, and payers can craft contracts to influence performance. Yet contracting is highly imperfect in both single-payer and multi-payer health systems. Arguably, in a competitive, multi-payer environment, contractual innovation may occur...

متن کاملJava Memory Model Examples: Good, Bad and Ugly
We review a number of illustrative example programs for the Java Memory Model (JMM) [6, 3], relating them to the original design goals and giving intuitive explanations (which can be made precise). We consider good, bad and ugly examples. The good examples are allowed behaviours in the JMM, showing possibilities for non sequentially consistent executions and reordering optimisations. The bad ex...
متن کاملRange Extension for Weak PRFs; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
We investigate a general class of (black-box) constructions for range extension of weak pseudorandom functions: a construction based on m independent functions F1, . . . , Fm is given by a set of strings over {1, . . . , m}, where for example {〈2〉, 〈1, 2〉} corresponds to the function X 7→ [F2(X), F2(F1(X))]. All efficient constructions for range expansion of weak pseudorandom functions that we ...
