PurposeThe purpose of this form is to provide readers of your manuscript with information about your other interests that could influence how they receive and understand your work. The form is designed to be completed electronically and stored electronically. It contains programming that allows appropriate data display. Each author should submit a separate form and is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the submitted information. The form is in seven parts.Identifying informationThe work under consideration for publication.This section asks for information about the work that you have submitted for publication. The time frame for this reporting is that of the work itself, from the initial conception and planning to the present. The requested information is about resources that you received, either directly or indirectly (via your institution), to enable you to complete the work. Checking "No" means that you did the work without receiving any financial support from any third party -- that is, the work was supported by funds from the same institution that pays your salary and that institution did not receive third-party funds with which to pay you. If you or your institution received funds from a third party to support the work, such as a government granting agency, charitable foundation or commercial sponsor, check "Yes".Relevant financial activities outside the submitted work.This section asks about your financial relationships with entities in thebio-medical arena that could be perceived to influence, or that give the appearance of potentially influencing, what you wrote in the submitted work. You should disclose interactions with ANY entity that could be considered broadly relevant to the work. For example, if your article is about testing an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonist in lung cancer, you should report all associations with entities pursuing diagnostic or therapeutic strategies in cancer in general, not just in the area of EGFR or lung cancer.Report all sources of revenue paid (or promised to be paid) directly to you or your institution on your behalf over the 36 months prior to submission of the work. This should include all monies from sources with relevance to the submitted work, not just monies from the entity that sponsored the research. Please note that your interactions with the work's sponsor that are outside thesubmitted work should also be listed here. If there is any question, it is usually better to disclose a relationship than not to do so.For grants you have received for work outside the submitted work, you should disclose support ONLY from entities that could be perceived to be affected financially by the published work, such as drug companies, or foundations supported by entities that could be perceived to have a financial stake in the outcome. Public funding sources, such as government agencies, charitable foundations or academic institutions, need not be disclosed. For example, if a government agency sponsored a study in which you have been involved and drugs were provided by a pharmaceutical company, you need only list the pharmaceutical company.Intellectual Property.This section asks about patents and copyrights, whether pending, issued, licensed and/or receiving royalties.Relationships not covered above.Use this section to report other relationships or activities that readers could perceive to have influenced, or that give the appearance of potentially influencing, what you wrote in the submitted work.Definitions.Entity: government agency, foundation, commercial sponsor, academic institution, etc.Grant: A grant from an entity, generally [but not always] paid to your organizationPersonal Fees: Monies paid to you for services rendered, generally honoraria, royalties, or fees for consulting , lectures, speakers bureaus, expert testimony, employment, or other affiliationsNon-Financial Support: Examples include drugs/equipment supplied by the entity, travel paid by the entity, writing assistance, administrative support, etc. Other: Anything not covered under the previous three boxesPending: The patent has been filed but not issuedIssued: The patent has been issued by the agencyLicensed: The patent has been licensed to an entity, whether earning royalties or notRoyalties: Funds are coming in to you or your institution due to your patent。
comparative and superlative (definitions)
Superlative (极致)
• In the superlative you talk about one thing only and how it is the best, worst, etc. You do not compare two things.
“As…as”
• Another way to compare adjectives is to use the “as .. as” expression. When comparing with as .. as, the adjective does not change.
• She's twice as old as her sister. • He's not as stupid as he looks!
• 2-syllable adjectives ending in -y: change the y to -iest • happy - the happiest. • easy - the easiest
• Other 2-syllable adjectives and adjectives with 3 or more syllables: use the most with the unchanged adjective
Irregular (不规则的) adjectives:
• good - better – the best • bad – worse – the worst • far – farther (further) – the farthest (the furthest) • little (少) – less – the least

Gamma ray logging is a method of measuring naturally occurring gamma radiation to characterize the rock or sediment in a borehole. It is sometimes used in mineral exploration and water-well drilling, but most commonly for formation evaluation in oil and gas well drilling. Different types of rock emit different amounts and different spectra of natural gamma radiation. In particular, shales usually emit more gamma rays than other sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone, gypsum, salt, coal, dolomite, or limestone because radioactive potassium is a common component in their clay content, and because the cation exchange capacity of clay causes them to adsorb uranium and thorium. This difference in radioactivity between shales and sandstones/carbonate rocks allows the gamma tool to distinguish between shales and non-shales.Spontaneous potential log, commonly called the self-potential log or SP log, is a measurement taken by oil industry well loggers to characterise rock formation properties. The log works by measuring small electric potentials (measured in millivolts) between depths in the borehole and a grounded voltage at the surface.The change in voltage through the well bore is caused by a buildup of charge on the well bore walls. Clays and shales (which are composed predominantly of clays) will generate one charge and permeable formations such as sandstone will generate an opposite one. This build up of charge is, in turn, caused by differences in the salt content of the well bore fluid (drilling mud) and the formation water (connate water). The potential opposite shales is called the baseline, and typically shifts only slowly over the depth of the borehole. Whether the mud contains more or less salt than the connate water will determine the which way the SP curve will deflect opposite a permeable formation. The amplitudes of the line made by the changing SP will vary from formation to formation and will not give a definitive answer to how permeable or the porosity of the formation that it is logging.The SP tool is one of the simplest tools and is generally run as standard when logging a hole, along with the gamma ray. SP data can be used to find:∙Where the permeable formations are∙The boundaries of these formations∙Correlation of formations when compared with data from other analogue wells ∙Values for the formation-water resistivityThe SP curve can be influenced by various factors both in the formation and introduced into the wellbore by the drilling process. These factors can cause the SP curve to be muted or even inverted depending on the situation.∙Formation bed thickness∙Resistivities in the formation bed and the adjacent formations∙Resistivity and make up of the drilling mud∙Wellbore diameter∙The depth of invasion by the drilling mud into the formationThe drilling mud salinity will affect the strength of the electromotive forces (EMF) which give the SP deflections. If the salinity of the mud is similar to the formation water then the SP curve may give little or no response opposite a permeable formation; if the mud is more saline, then the curve has a positive voltage with respect to the baseline opposite permeable formations; if it is less, the voltage deflection is negative. In rare cases the baseline of the SP can shift suddenly if the salinity of the mud changes part way down hole.Mud invasion into the permeable formation can cause the deflections in the SP curve to be rounded off and to reduce the amplitude of thin beds.A larger wellbore will cause, like a mud filtrate invasion, the deflections on the SP curve to be rounded off and decrease the amplitude opposite thin beds, while a smaller diameter wellbore has the opposite effect.Resistivity logging is a method of well logging that works by characterizing the rock or sediment in a borehole by measuring its electrical resistivity. Resistivity is a fundamental material property which represents how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. In these logs, resistivity is measured using 4 electrical probes to eliminate the resistance of the contact leads. The log must run in holes containing electrically conductive mud or water.Resistivity logging is sometimes used in mineral exploration and water-well drilling, but most commonly for formation evaluation in oil- and gas-well drilling. Most rock materials are essentially insulators, while their enclosed fluids are conductors. Hydrocarbon fluids are an exception, because they are almost infinitely resistive. When a formation is porous and contains salty water, the overall resistivity will be low. When the formation contains hydrocarbon, or contains very low porosity, its resistivity will be high. High resistivity values may indicate a hydrocarbon bearing formation.Usually when drilling, drilling fluids invade the formation, changes in the resistivity are measured by the tool in the invaded zone. For this reason, several resistivity tools with different investigation lengths are used to measure the formation resistivity. If water based mud is used and oil is displaced, "deeper" resistivity logs (or those of the "virgin zone") will show lower conductivity than the invaded zone. If oil based mud is used and water is displaced, deeper logs will show higher conductivity than the invaded zone. This provides not only an indication of the fluids present, but, at least quantitatively, whether the formation is permeable or not.Density logging is a well logging tool determining rock bulk density along a wellbore. This is the overall density of a rock including solid matrix and the fluid enclosed in pores. Geologically, bulk density is a function of the density of the minerals forming a rock (i.e matrix) and the enclosed volume of free fluids (porosity).A radioactive source applied to the hole wall emits medium-energy gamma rays into the formation so these gamma rays may be thought of as high velocity particles which collide with the electrons in the formation. At each collision the gamma ray loses some of its energy to the electron, and then continues with diminished energy. This type of interaction is know as Compton scattering. The scattered gamma rays reaching the detector, at the fixed station from the source, are counted as an indication of formation density.The number of Compton scattering collisions is related directly to the number of the electron density of the formation. Consequently, the electron density determines the response of the density tool. Electron density is related through equationSonic logging shows a formation’s interval transit time, designated Dt. It is a measure of a formation’s capacity to transmit sound waves. Geologically, this capacity varies with lithology and rock textures, notably porosity.Quantitatively, the sonic log is used to evaluate porosity in liquid filled pores. The sonic tool is only capable of measuring travel time. Many relationships between travel time and porosity have been proposed, the most commonly accepted is the Wyllie time average equation. The equation basically holds that the total travel time recorded on the log is the sum of the time the sonic wave spends traveling the solid part of the rock, called the rock matrix and the time spent traveling through the fluids in the pores.A caliper log is a set of measurements of the size and shape of a bore hole commonly made when drilling oil and gas wells. This can be an important indicator of cave ins or shale swelling in the bore hole.The caliper tool measures the variation in bore hole diameter as it is withdrawn from the bottom of the hole. It is constructed with two or more articulated arms that push against the bore hole wall to take measurements. The arms show variable movements of the cursor by measuring electrical resistance, creating electrical variation. The variation in output is translated into changes of diameter after a simple calibration. The caliper log is printed as a continuous series of values of hole diameter with depth.Known challenges with caliper logging include borehole spiralling. The position of the drill bit may precess as it drills, leading to spiraling shapes in the wellbore wall, as if the hole had been drilled by a screw. If the arms of the caliper log follow the grooves of the spiral, it will report too high an average diameter. Moving in and out of the grooves, the caliper will give erratic or periodically varying readings.。

Definition by examples
Modern literature in most countries deals with real social issues. For example, many contemporary novels of Africa and India portray the lives of ordinary people struggling against misfortune. Furthermore, poetry from South America and North America speaks out against social and economic oppression. In still another instance, modern European drama performs the fate of the working men in dreary confrontation with life. Even films, popular songs and folk drama from all around the world, tell the story of the little man and his battle against the giants of impersonal corporations, remote governments or aggressive neighboring nations. It is clear from these limited examples that contemporary literature in many parts of the world deals with the social issues of the day.”

Para. B Some people believe that it is good to be an extremist in some areas, but those people are actually changing the meaning the word. According to the Random House Dictionary of the English Language, the word extreme itself means "excessively biased ideas, intemperate conduct." The extremist goes too far in whatever the person is doing. It is good to be enthusiastically and sincerely in love, but extremists love excessively and intemperately. People who love well may be tender and sensitive and attentive, but extremists are possessive or smothering. The same can be said of patriotism. Good patriots love their country, but extreme patriots love their country so much that they think citizens that they lose their sense of balance. They may begin with a good objective, but they focus on it so much that they can become destructive, nasty, and often pitiful. The worst effect is that these extremists lose their completeness as human beings.
