permeability can be directly measured using cores taken from the reservoir in the laboratory. due to high cost associated with coring, cores are available in a limited number of wells in a field. many empirical models, statistical methods, and intelligent techniques were suggested to predict permeability in un-cored wells from easy-to-obtain and frequent data such as wireline logs. the main obj...

Liquid paraffin as a coolant fluid can be  applied in electronic devices as a result to its suitable capabilities such as electrical insulating, high heat capacity, chemical and thermal stability, and high boiling point. However, the poor thermal conductivity of paraffin has been confined its thermal cooling application. Addition of high conductor nanoparticles to paraffin can fix this drawback...

the proper and quantitative recognition of the scale of turbulence in regard to issues such as sediment transport is of major importance. different experimental techniques can be used to determining the scale of turbulence, but the accuracy of these techniques is open to question. in this paper, after a review of the taylor method, the restrictions and advantages of velocity measurement techniq...

OBJECTIVE To perform a more sophisticated analysis of previously published data that advances the understanding of the efficacy of pedestrian countdown signal (PCS) installation on pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions (PMVCs), in the city of Toronto, Canada. METHODS This is an updated analysis of the same dataset from Camden et al. A quasi-experimental design was used to evaluate the effect of...

Cohort and case-control methodologies are the main tools for analytical epidemiological research. Other important types of epidemiological studies mainly for generating hypotheses include cross-sectional and ecological, or correlation studies. The conclusions that can be drawn from findings of these types of studies are, however, much weaker compared to those of cohort and case-control studies....

This paper presents an experimental comparisons of different forms of SSD and normalised cross correlation of image neighborhoods. Signal detection theory is used as a framework for analysis of correlation techniques. A sum of squared difference (SSD) of two image neighborhoods is shown to provide an optimal matching measure for tracking and registration. Correlation of the image, its gradient ...
