the effects of 450-days of flooding on morphological and gas exchanges responses were investigated under controlled conditions for populus deltoides (colon 77.51) and taxodium distichum seedlings. seedlings were subjected to three outdoor treatments: not flooded (control), flooded to 3 cm above the soil surface (shallow flooded), and flooded to 15 cm above the soil surface (deep flooded). flood...

various researches on laboratory and field scale illustrate that manipulating the ionic composition and the ion concentration of injected water can affect the efficiency of water flooding and the interaction of injected water with rock and other fluids present in porous media. the objectives of this paper are to investigate parameters that affect low salinity water flooding; mainly the effect o...

in order to investigated the effect of flooding, different nutrition levels an anti-oxidant characteristics, chlorophyll fluorescence, amount of chlorophyll (a, b) and carotenoids leaves soybean (glycine max (l.) merr), cultivar dpx research at the university of agricultural sciences and natural resources, gorgan, in a completely randomized design to factorial arrangement with three replication...

the importance of the use of activated charcoal tubes for sampling gases and vapors is very well-known. for producing these tubes in the country, their production started in the laboratory of the department of occupation al health using activated charcoal, polyurethane foam and glass wool and consequently two types of foamed and foamless tubes were produced. to investigate the quality of the ra...

in many reservoirs, after water flooding, a large volume of oil is still left behind. hot water injection is the most basic type of thermal recovery which increase recovery by improved sweep efficiency and thermal expansion of crude.in the present work, the effects of injection rate and the temperature of the injected water were surveyed by using core flooding apparatus. water flooding was perf...

Information dissemination (flooding) forms an integral part of routing protocols, network management, service discovery and information collection (sensing). Given the broadcast nature of ad hoc network communications, information dissemination provides a challenging problem. This paper introduces Utility Based Flooding (UBF). UBF is a distributed optimised flooding mechanism for ad hoc network...

In this paper, a new anisotropic material concept namely composite foam is proposed as an alternative to next generation helmet liners which can potentially reduce head rotational accelerations. The Layered Composite foam concept comprises of foam layers with different densities which are glued to each other in a parallel or series configuration. Initial experiments such as static combined shea...

Negative Poisson's ratio foam was used in the development of seat cushions which exert reduced peak pressure upon the skin of seated persons. Foam processing techniques were scaled up. A longer processing time was required for cushion size samples in comparison with small samples. Pressure distributions on a seated subject were measured using a pressure-sensitive array. Seated pressure distribu...

Performance advantages of incorporating fluid channels into foam made of DERTEX VN600 (Vinyl Nitrile) are evaluated. This foam has the potential to replace the traditional foam material of helmet liners, like Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). Experiments involved dropping a certified size E headform vertically onto a flat, solid anvil. Elastically deformable and resilient VN foam outperformed EPS dur...
