Often there is no well drilling without problems. The solution lies in managing and evaluating these problems developing strategies to manage scale them. Non-productive time (NPT) one of the main causes delayed operations. Many events or possibilities can lead a halt operations marginal decrease advancement drilling, this called (NPT). Reducing NPT has an important impact on total expenditure, ...

Neuroplasticity (NPL), neuromodulation (NM), and neuroprotection (NPT) are ongoing biophysiological processes that are linked together in sensory systems, the goal being the maintenance of a homeostasis of normal sensory function in the central nervous system. It is hypothesized that when the balance between excitatory - inhibitory action is broken in sensory systems, predominantly due to neuro...

Non-pneumatic tires (NPTs) have been widely used for their advantages of no run-flat, need air maintenance, and unique stiffness characteristics. This study focuses on the design a spoke Fibonacci spiral non-pneumatic tire (FS-NPT) based its properties three-dimensional stiffness. Finite element (FE) models, parametric studies, designs experiments (DOEs), sensitivity analyses are conducted to e...

the world intellectual property organization copyright treaty (wct) is an international treaty on copyright law adopted by the member states of the world intellectual property organization (wipo) in geneva on december 20, 1996. it provides additional protections for copyright deemed necessary due to advances in information technology since the formation of previous copyright treaties before it....

Asthma is a condition characterised by a chronic immunoinflammatory response to different triggers. Neopterin (NPT) is synthesised by human macrophages upon stimulation with interferon-gamma and is also capable of enhancing the oxidative potential of reactive oxygen species. NPT is useful for the monitoring of cell-mediated (Th1-type) immune activation. This study analysed the behaviour of NPT ...

We prove the existence of bound entangled states with negative partial transpose (NPT) in any d×d(d ≥ 3) Hilbert space with simple assumptions on Schmidt rank two states. We have assumed that the Schmidt rank two states should satisfy some bounds. Obviously the class of NPT bound entangled states belong to the class of conjectured to be bound entangled states by Divincenzo et.al [Phys. Rev. A, ...

A promoter probe, Tn5-VB32, was constructed and placed in a P group R plasmid containing bacteriophage Mu sequences, allowing transfer of the transposon to bacteria such as Caulobacter, Rhizobium, and Agrobacterium without retention of the plasmid. The probe carries an altered Tn5 transposon that allows detection of chromosomal promoter regions by virtue of acquired kanamycin resistance. A frag...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study, performed in an intensive care unit (ICU) population with a normal serum creatinine, was to estimate urinary creatinine clearance (CLCR) in a population of polytrauma patients (PT) through a comparison with a population of non trauma patients (NPT). METHODS This was a retrospective, observational study in a medical and surgical ICU in a university hospital....

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency chlorhexidine digluconate solution (CHX) as an adjunct nonsurgical therapy (NPT) patients with chronic periodontitis (CP), by analyzing presence and quantity periopathogenic microorganisms in subgingival biofilm. DNA extracted from biofilm obtained 40 CP divided into two groups (NPT+CHX NPT alone control) at baseline 2 months after therapy. s...
