In this study, simulation of low salinity polymer flooding in the core scale is investigated using Eclipse-100 simulator. For this purpose, two sets of data are used. The first set of data were adopted from the results of experimental studies conducted at the University of Bergen, performed using Berea sandstone and intermediate oil. The second data set, related to sand pack and heavy oil syste...

Various methods and approaches, including chemical and physical repellents, flooding, burrow fumigants, poison baits, vibrating devices and exclusion, have been explored for reducing mole problems. In addition to these, habitat management through reducing the moles food supply has received considerable attention, but environmental concerns and the lack of consistent results have tempered this a...

This paper introduces a new real-time air pollution alert system using mobile devices. Through the location awareness capability of mobile devices, Androidand iOS-based apps are developed to inform the public residing in the vicinity of air pollution areas. The apps have shown to be working successfully sending push notifications as well as a regional map to convey the air pollution information...

General comments: This paper (bg-2012-148) carefully studied about the bacterial and archaeal community structures in six water-flooding petroleum reservoirs with different temperatures (20 to 63 degree C). The microbial communities shifted from high-temperature (e.g. archaea: Thermococcus, Methanothermobacter, Thermoplasmatales, bacteria: Firmicutes, Thermotogae, Thermodesulfobacteria) to lowt...

Hurricane Sandy caused extensive physical and economic damage; the long-term mental health consequences are unknown. Flooding is a central component of hurricane exposure, influencing mental health through multiple pathways that unfold over months after flooding recedes. Here we assess the concordance in self-reported and Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) flood exposure after Hurricane Sandy ...

We describe some features of a three-dimensional numerical simulator currently under development for studying water physico-chemical properties during the flooding of hydroelectric plants reservoirs. The work is sponsored by the Brazilian Electric Energy National Agency (ANEEL) and conducted with Furnas Centrais Elétricas S. A., the leading Brazilian power utility company. An overview of the si...

Real-time performance is critical for many time-sensitive applications of wireless sensor networks. We present a constrained flooding protocol, called CFlood that enhances the deadline satisfaction ratio per unit energy consumption of time-sensitive packets in sensor networks. CFlood improves real-time performance by flooding, but effectively constrains energy consumption by controlling the sca...

Efficient and scalable information dissemination is important in network management, packet routing and auto configuration. Given the very nature of a mobile ad hoc network, this information dissemination provides a challenging problem. This paper introduces a new packet flooding mechanism for information dissemination in mobile ad hoc networks. Neighbor Aware Adapative Power (NAAP) flooding, a...

Intense rainfall in urban areas often generates both pluvial flooding due to the limited capacity of drainage systems, as well as fluvial flooding caused by deluges from river channels. The concurrence of pluvial and fluvial flooding can aggravate their (individual) potential damages. To analyse the impact caused by individual and composite type of flooding, the SIPSON/UIM model, an integrated ...

BACKGROUND Flooding significantly reduces the growth and grain yield of soybean plants. Proteomic and biochemical techniques were used to determine whether the function of cotyledon and root is altered in soybean under flooding stress. RESULTS Two-day-old soybean plants were flooded for 2 days, after which the proteins from root and cotyledon were extracted for proteomic analysis. In response...
