Good agreement with field data has been obtained when using a commercial kick simulator to analyse a 56 bbl gas kick taken in a 59 deg deviated wellbore. Fast kick detection and reaction are necessary when drilling at high rates of penetration since high pump rates, necessary for hole cleaning and cuttings transport, imply that a gas influx may be rapidly circulated to surface. A simulated exam...

The passage of seismic waves through highly heterogeneous media leads to significant scattering of seismic energy and an apparent attenuation of seismic signals emerging from the heterogeneous zone. The size of this scattering attenuation depends on the correlation properties of the medium, the rates of Pand S-wave velocities, and frequency content of the incident waves. An estimate of the effe...

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding the Training Group GRK 2218 “SiMET—Simulation of mechano-electro-thermal processes in lithium-ion batteries” at Karlsruhe Institute Technology (KIT) cooperation with Offenburg University Applied Sciences and Helmholtz Ulm. has been running since 2017. To date, more than 50 PhD students, postdocs, principle investigators are or have SiMET members. ...

Prediction of phosphorus (P) availability from soil-applied composts and manure is important for agronomic and environmental reasons. This study utilized chemical properties of eight composted and two non-composted beef cattle (Bos taurus) manures to predict cumulative phosphorus uptake (CPU) during a 363-d controlled environment chamber bioassay. Ten growth cycles of canola (Brassica napus L.)...

People frequently make decisions under stress. Understanding how stress affects decision making is complicated by the fact that not all stress responses are created equal. Challenge states, for example, occur when individuals appraise a stressful situation as demanding, but believe they have the personal resources to cope, and are characterized by efficient cardiovascular reactivity and approac...

FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS Nematode genomics and informatics: leveraging C. elegans PAUL W. STERNBERG. CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, PASADENA, CA HHMI, Caltech and WormBase C. elegans has emerged as a model organism, not only for classical biology but also for genomics and bioinformatics. With the emergence of additional genome informatic resources, the C. elegans and parasitic helminth commu...
