We present an analytical approach for pressure transient test analysis in naturally fractured vuggy reservoirs. This analysis approach relies on a triple-continuum concept, using observed geological data from carbonate oil formations in western China, to describe transient flow behavior in fracture-vugmatrix reservoirs. In the conceptual mathematical model, fractured vuggy rock is considered as...

This study focused on alcohol consumption and college adjustment of 227 students classified as either first-generational college students (FGCS) or non-first generational college students (NFGCS). Chi-square analyses were used to examine differences in frequency of alcohol consumption and binge drinking. A MANCOVA was used to assess differences in social and academic adjustment by generational ...

High staff turnover presents a challenge to the provision of good quality community-based support people with an intellectual disability. While recent research has identified factors that are thought be important for retention, their relative importance social care is unknown. The aim this study was address gap. 205 who worked in disability services completed online questionnaire asked them to:...

Our purpose in this article is to propose a comprehensive, empirically grounded theory of action for improving the quality of mathematics teaching at scale. In doing so, we summarize current research findings that can inform efforts to improve the quality of mathematics instruction on a large scale, and identify questions that are yet to be addressed. We draw on an ongoing collaboration with ma...

–In recent years, voltage instability has been responsible for many major network collapses throughout the world; hence the growing interest of power engineers and researchers to address this problem. This thesis provides an introduction to the concepts and definitions related to voltage stability problems in power systems. It also gives a concise description of the stability problems of the di...

The growing demand for high-bandwidth communication between integrated circuits calls for large numbers of high-speed inputs and outputs (IOs) per chip. IO data rates have increased to the point where electrical signaling is now limited by the channel properties. In order to achieve multi-Gb/s data rates, complex designs that equalize the channel are necessary. Using optics for chip-to-chip int...

since the emergence of human civilization, drought has had extreme and sometimes catastrophic effects on human livelihoods. although drought itself is not a disaster, its impact on people and the environment may sometimes yield disastrous consequences; so a primary requirement is to better understand the natural and social dimensions associated with drought (wilhite 2000).  given that drought i...
