In this study, simulation of low salinity polymer flooding in the core scale is investigated using Eclipse-100 simulator. For this purpose, two sets of data are used. The first set of data were adopted from the results of experimental studies conducted at the University of Bergen, performed using Berea sandstone and intermediate oil. The second data set, related to sand pack and heavy oil syste...

Hurricane Sandy caused extensive physical and economic damage; the long-term mental health consequences are unknown. Flooding is a central component of hurricane exposure, influencing mental health through multiple pathways that unfold over months after flooding recedes. Here we assess the concordance in self-reported and Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) flood exposure after Hurricane Sandy ...

Real-time performance is critical for many time-sensitive applications of wireless sensor networks. We present a constrained flooding protocol, called CFlood that enhances the deadline satisfaction ratio per unit energy consumption of time-sensitive packets in sensor networks. CFlood improves real-time performance by flooding, but effectively constrains energy consumption by controlling the sca...

Efficient and scalable information dissemination is important in network management, packet routing and auto configuration. Given the very nature of a mobile ad hoc network, this information dissemination provides a challenging problem. This paper introduces a new packet flooding mechanism for information dissemination in mobile ad hoc networks. Neighbor Aware Adapative Power (NAAP) flooding, a...

Intense rainfall in urban areas often generates both pluvial flooding due to the limited capacity of drainage systems, as well as fluvial flooding caused by deluges from river channels. The concurrence of pluvial and fluvial flooding can aggravate their (individual) potential damages. To analyse the impact caused by individual and composite type of flooding, the SIPSON/UIM model, an integrated ...

BACKGROUND Flooding significantly reduces the growth and grain yield of soybean plants. Proteomic and biochemical techniques were used to determine whether the function of cotyledon and root is altered in soybean under flooding stress. RESULTS Two-day-old soybean plants were flooded for 2 days, after which the proteins from root and cotyledon were extracted for proteomic analysis. In response...

Fixed dose combination (FDC) products are gaining more interest by pharma companies worldwide considering their importance in treating the disease and the increased safety/efficacy profile. Very few general guidelines are available with respect to FDCs in USA whereas Europe has some guidelines while India has just started developing such guidelines. Indian market is flooded with several irratio...

The paper presents recent studies on spatial and temporal characterization of the clogging of a large infiltration system and main factors affecting its evolution. Thickness, organic content, density, particle size distribution, biomass and saturated hydraulic conductivity were then evaluated during 10 campaigns from September 2009 to February 2011. The results show that the sediment accumulati...

Excess water in the form of waterlogged soil or deeper submergence (generically termed 'flooding') influences plant growth, survival and species distribution in many natural ecosystems. It also has a negative impact on crop growth and yield since many agricultural species are flooding intolerant. The often devastating effect of flooding on plant performance is related to its interference with g...
