Variable Pressure/Environmental SEM a Powerful Tool for Nanotechnology and Nanomanufacturing

Nanotechnology to Nanomanufacturing : Emerging Models

Science and technology are seen as important determinants for survival and growth of companies, regions and nations (Schumpter,1934) and are related to new theories of economic development, technological change and industrial innovation.(Dosi et al 1990;Romer 1990). In order to reach technology based economic growth, it is not only necessary to invest capital, intellect and time in science and ...

Nanotechnology and Neuroscience Convergence: A Novel Tool for Neurotransmitters Monitoring

Since neurotransmitters significantly influence the brain activity, our understanding of the human brain will remain imperfect until all aspects relating to them become clear. One of the key challenges in neuroscience researches and therapies is elucidating the mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter release take place and is regulated in quantity and in time. Despite the enormous number of st...

Habitat Simulation Technique as a Powerful Tool for Instream Flow Needs Assessment and River Ecosystem Management

Instream flow needs (IFN) assessment studies are performed to provide guidelines for stream water management and to assess the impacts of different water projects such as weirs, dams and stream diversions on the available fish habitat. The physical habitat simulation is one of the IFN assessment methods and also a powerful tool in management of river ecosystem that has not become a common metho...

Investigation of a Powerful Tool for the Development of Thinly Bedded Carbonate Reservoirs (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In thin-layered reservoirs, drilling engineers face tough challenges—planning their drilling programs to follow the most productive reservoir layers while avoiding nearby water, gas or high-pressure zones. The rewards for a successful drilling strategy are clear—increased oil production and reduced water cut. In an oil field in the Persian Gulf, for example, oil production was increased four- t...
