Results from two test cases showing gel and water fracturing maps are given and compared with initial production. Dual-array mapping provides for a much larger areal coverage and increased accuracy when accurate bottomhole locations and velocity structure are available, but do have trade-offs that need to be considered.

Kong F OLLOWING their defeat in World War II, Japan's state authorities initiated the building of recreational facilities with brothels, bars, cabarets, and restaurants to "comfort" (ian) the Allied military occupiers. "Comfort station" was a euphemism for the institutionalized system of military sex slavery implemented by the Japanese state throughout Asia during the war. In the immediate postwar period, Japanese officials adapted established practices developed during the imperial period about both forced and voluntary prostitution, sexuality, and its regulation to conceptualize a postwar "recreation scheme." They called it a "female floodwall" (onna no bōhatei)-a protective zone to separate the foreign occupation troops from the Japanese population and especially from women and girls. The initiative was aimed at protecting the "national body" (kokutai), a fuzzy concept of identity and unity originating in imperial Japan. With the sudden disintegration of its empire, this initiative helped Japan's authorities establish a new sense of community. Its emergence was shaped by imperial strategies being turned inwards as Japanese society shifted from colonizer to colonized with the imposition of American hegemony. Gender and sexuality, mediated by Japanese women's bodies, were key elements in this clash between the fall of the Japanese empire and the rise of the U.S. empire which forged the emergence of postwar Japanese nationalism. 1 This article analyzes the conceptualization and

This article investigates anarchist theory and practice in 1920s and 1930s imperial Japan. It deliberately focuses on concepts and interventions by a rather unknown group—the Nōson Seinen Sha—to highlight a global consciousness even among those anarchists in imperial Japan who did not become famous for their cosmopolitan adventures. Their trans-imperial anarchism emerged from a modern critique of the present and engagement with cooperatist communalist ideas and experiences in Asia, Russia, and Western Europe. Anarchists theorized and implemented new forms of living that challenged the forces of capitalism, imperialism, and increasing militarism. In doing so, they simultaneously positioned themselves against established conservative and fascist agrarianism as well as Marxist dogmatism in the socialist movement. Despite their repression by the imperial state, they offered a radical, universalist, yet pragmatic way of being in autarkic farming village communes that corresponded with similar ideas and movements worldwide.
