    Artificial Intelligence for Subsurface Characterization and Monitoring provides an in-depth examination of how deep learning accelerates the process of subsurface characterization and monitoring and provides an end-to-end solution. In recent years, deep learning has been introduced to the geoscience community to overcome some longstanding technical challenges. This book explores some of the most important topics in this discipline to explain the unique capability of deep learning in subsurface characterization for hydrocarbon exploration and production and for energy transition. Readers will discover deep learning methods that can improve the quality and efficiency of many of the key steps in subsurface characterization and monitoring. The text is organized into five parts. The first two parts explore deep learning for data enrichment and well log data, including information extraction from unstructured well reports as well as log data QC and processing. Next is a review of deep learning applied to seismic data and data integration, which also covers intelligent processing for clearer seismic images and rock property inversion and validation. The closing section looks at deep learning in time lapse scenarios, including sparse data reconstruction for reducing the cost of 4D seismic data, time-lapse seismic data repeatability enforcement, and direct property prediction from pre-migration seismic data.

    The decision is made by an actor (or a more or less coherent set of actors) who makes a choice between several solutions likely to solve the problem, or situation, with which he is confronted. Generally speaking, a decision is the action of the mind that decides something or is decided after individual or collective deliberation:in psychology, a decision is the deliberate and deliberate action of the mind that is determined by the choice of one of the outcomes at the end of a deliberative process;in law or in administrative fields, a decision is a provision adopted by a single or collegial competent authority after deliberation, or a service instruction from a hierarchical authority (e.g., a decision by a person or a group of persons); in law or in administrative fields, a decision is a provision adopted by a single or collegial competent authority after deliberation, or a service instruction from a hierarchical authority (e.g., a decision by a person or a group of persons); in law or in administrative fields, a decision is a provision adopted by a single or collegial competent authority after deliberation: In economics, micro or macro decisions correspond to decisions taken by simple or complex economic agents; in strategy, the decision is first and foremost a courage constantly opposed to the detractors, applied to a situation of uncertainty, proving to be perceptive in its ability to anticipate and constantly updated to adapt to the hazards of adversity.

Fra sit middelklassehjem på Fyn fulgte han i sin far og farfars fodspor og blev som tusindvis af andre unge mænd uddannet smed på Odense Stålskibsværft.Han var hverken optændt af en faglig flamme eller politisk ideologi, men en blanding nysgerrighed, evner og tilfældigheder gjorde, at han kom ind i fagbevægelsen. Her arbejdede han sig op, og i 2012 overtog han posten som formand for Dansk Metal. Og med den post følger magt. Meget magt. ?Claus Jensen er en uomgængelig person, når der skal træffes store beslutninger i det politiske og organisatoriske Danmark. Han er som hovedforhandler for 600.000 privatansatte en central figur på det danske arbejdsmarked, og som medlem af et væld af råd, nævn, kommissioner og bestyrelser er hans netværk og indflydelse enestående i dansk erhvervsliv.?Modsat sin magt, netværk og indflydelse er metalformanden med det pæredanske navn dog langt fra en person, der vækker genkendelse i den brede befolkning.Men det burde han.

    1989. Verden er på randen af en revolution, og journalisten Allie Burns er tilbage. Ældre og måske lidt klogere, leder hun nu nyhedsafdelingen på The Sunday Globe i Glasgow. Hun er ikke længere graverjournalist, men nyhedsredaktør og stadig skrækslagen for at ende i rendestenen sammen med de brutale britiske tabloidmedier. Og hun får travlt. Året begynder med en mindegudstjeneste for ofrene fra Lockerbie-bombningen, og Allie har knap nok leveret den historie, før hun falder over en chokerende historie om aids-patienter. Den avisverden hun opererer i er under stærk forandring, og den kolde krig præger tiden. Da et mord sker, bliver Allie tvunget til at sætte spørgsmålstegn ved flere af sine gamle overbevisninger.1989 er anden bog i en planlagt serie på fem bind om Allie Burns. Vi følger hende fra 1979 og frem gennem fem årtier, på rejsen fra ung journalist til garvet ekspert, gennem mordsager og op- og nedture i karrieren, med Storbritanniens historie som medrivende bagtæppe. Allie Burns er baseret på Val McDermids egne erfaringer som ung journalist i 1970’ernes Glasgow.

    The reverberations of an unparalleled labor shortage echo through service-based industries, leaving the hospitality, tourism, and food and beverage sectors grappling with a critical challenge. The fallout from the 2020-2021 global health crisis has laid bare a systemic flaw: the absence of sustainable career pathways for front-line workers. From airlines to cruise ships, theme parks to restaurants, and bars, the shortage of front-line workers has reached a critical level, preventing organizations from operating at full capacity even as public health restrictions are lifted. This crisis stems not only from the economic aftermath of the pandemic but also from the longstanding neglect within these industries to cultivate a resilient front-line workforce. Front-line positions, often considered transient and unskilled, lack the structured development pipelines that other professional industries utilize successfully. As organizations struggle to address these workforce challenges, Career Pathways and Professional Identities for Front-Line Workers in the Service Industries serves as a guide filled with solutions in the face of industry-wide adversity. Career Pathways and Professional Identities for Front-Line Workers in the Service Industries responds to the urgency within the hospitality, restaurant, and tourism industries, by applying the dynamics of the 4th Industrial Revolution and the Gig Economy, to propose innovative solutions to engineer sustainable career pathways and foster professional identities. Ideal for employers, educators, and researchers involved in these industries, the book aims to guide organizations in optimizing operations, implementing leadership-focused succession planning, and minimizing the impact of labor fluctuations. From an academic perspective, it harmonizes industry-focused programs, offering a distinct element for hospitality, restaurant, and tourism management curricula. Additionally, it opens avenues for research on transitioning low-pay roles into meaningful, long-term careers with a focus on continuous improvement.
