Displacement of oil and water in porous media of reservoir rocks is described by relative                      permeability curves, which are important input data for reservoir performance simulation and drive mechanism studies. Many core studies, such as multiphase relative permeability, capillary pressure and saturation exponent determination, depend on the volume fractions of multiphase flui...

Engineered Water Injection (EWI) has been increasingly tested and applied to enhance fluid displacement in reservoirs. The modification of ionic concentration provides interactions with the pore wall, which facilitates oil mobility. This mechanism carbonates alters natural rock wettability being quite an attractive recovery method. Currently, numerical simulation this injection method remains l...

This position paper presents observations from a flipped classroom experience of teaching an HCI bachelor course at the University of Trento (Italy) in Fall 2015. Students were provided with conventional lectures, digital learning materials in Moodle, and a collaborative prototyping platform for supporting project work over the 2-months course duration. Overall, students highly appreciated the ...

Photographs have always been artifacts for creating memories and engaging in storytelling activities with others. To date there has been much research in the HCI community towards sharing of both analog and digital photographs. With recent advances in network technology further research has been done with photos being shared almost immediately after capture. However, most of the research has fo...

Clickers and paper forms were used in a senior level HCI class for peer evaluation of student project presentations. Scores given by teachers and students were compared and subjective opinions of students analyzed. Students gave higher scores than teachers and scarcely used the higher and lower ends of the scale. The medium used for evaluation did not have a significant effect on the scores. St...

There has been limited consideration of teenagers (defined as 12-19 year olds in this work) as participants and end-users in Child-Computer Interaction and mainstream HCI communities. Teenagers reside in a fascinating and dynamic space between childhood and adulthood, and working more closely with teenagers within HCI may bring great insights and benefits. This paper provides an overview of tee...

HCI is diverse, exciting, and expanding. Inevitably the HCI community pulls itself in different directions, sometimes with the result that some worthwhile research is under-valued. This paper explores the systemic issues, and makes some constructive suggestions.

Music and other art based methods should play a significant role in the HCI field when designing with children, taking the developmental stage of the children into consideration. Music has been neglected in the design process in HCI research, while there is a lot of meaningful research in social and educational studies. HCI research has concentrated more on technological products and technologi...
