A new in situ setup combining small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and dilatometry was used to measure water-adsorption-induced deformation of a monolithic silica sample with hierarchical porosity. The sample exhibits a disordered framework consisting of macropores and struts containing two-dimensional hexagonally ordered cylindrical mesopores. The use of an H2O/D2O water mixture with zero sca...

Carbon electrochemical capacitor electrodes containing nitrogen groups were studied with respect to their electrochemical behaviour, chemical composition and physical characteristics. Thermal treatment of nitrogen-enriched carbon materials in different atmospheres was used to control the specific type and concentration of nitrogen groups present, while importantly retaining similar pore size di...

Evaluation of hydrocarbon reservoir requires classification of petrophysical properties from available dataset. However, characterization of reservoir attributes is difficult due to the nonlinear and heterogeneous nature of the subsurface physical properties. In this context, present study proposes a generalized one class classification framework based on Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) ...

For years computerized X-ray tomography has been widely used as a medical diagnostic tool. This nondestructive technique soon turned out to be an important research tool for a wide variety of scientific subjects. For material research medical CT, microCT, and since very recently nanoor sub-micro CT are being used as non-destructive material evaluation techniques for engineering and geology purp...

Ceria is a technologically important material with applications in catalysis, emissions control and solid-oxide fuel cells. Nanostructured ceria becomes profoundly more active due to its enhanced surface area to volume ratio, reactive surface oxygen vacancy concentration and superior oxygen storage capacity. Here we report the synthesis of nanostructured ceria using the green Deep Eutectic Solv...

The competition between the quenching of pairing due to repulsive Coulomb interaction and dynamic correlations added by particle number symmetry restoration has been studied in a selected set Fermium Nobelium isotopes using hierarchy Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov--based approximations restricted variation after projection, all them based on $\mathrm{D}1{\mathrm{M}}^{*}$ parametrization Gogny force. I...

Abstract The thermal neutron porosity is routinely acquired in almost every well. When combined with the density, gamma ray and resistivity logs, basic petrophysical parameters of a reservoir are evaluated. design tool simple, but its interpretation complex affected by formation constituents. most challenging situation occurs when contains elements high absorption probability neutrons. existenc...

The well Sarai Sidhu-01 is located on Punjab Platform, Central Indus Basin, Pakistan. Punjab Platform is the eastern part of Central Indus Basin, and tectonically it is the stable portion of Indus Basin, which was least affected during Tertiary Himalayan orogeny. This study attempts to decipher reservoir potential for hydrocarbon exploration. It aims to delineate a subsurface hydrocarbon bearin...
