Abstract Radial Jet Drilling (RJD) is a stimulation technique to increase well’s performance through creation of multiple laterals up 100 m long. The has been used in the petroleum industry for several years and recently also geothermal reservoirs. Interpretation well tests with may become problematic if effect not correctly modelled. In this work it investigated what impact RJD on pressure tra...

A wireless charging pad for drones based on resonant magnetic technology to recharge the internal battery is presented. The goal of study was design a robust, reliable and efficient station where drone can land automatically its battery. components power transfer (WPT) system board must be compact light in order not alter payload drone. In this study, non-planar receiving coil WPT integrated in...

Introduction Occasional difficulty is experienced in mobilizing the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, in spite of the use of the special cartilage knives and snares that have been designed to overcome this. The purpose of this paper is to describe a modification of the standard meniscectomy procedure and thereby simplify it. The modification consists of the section of the posterior attachm...

If the target in a crowding display differs from the distracters in its contrast polarity, the extent of crowding is reduced compared to the condition where all the elements in the display have the same polarity. In Experiment 1, we test the temporal properties of this polarity advantage by reversing the contrast of the target and flankers at four frequencies between 2 and 15 Hz. In the same po...

Three results pertaining to lateral control of heavy duty vehicles on Automated Highway System are presented. First, a time domain, frequency domain and pole/zero analysis of the linearized model for lateral control of tractor-trailer vehicles is presented. The steering response subject to variation of speed, road adhesion and look-ahead distance is studied. Based on the analysis, a simple base...

The adductor mandibulae complex has been a subject of discussion and uncertainties due to a wide range of differentiations and fusions that have occurred during teleost evolution. The adductor mandibulae of numerous catfishes was studied in detail and compared with that of several other teleosts described in the literature. Our observations and comparisons demonstrate that: 1) the adductors man...

This research studies lateral interference among items in the visual field under conditions in which central cognitive factors such as attention and memory limitations are eliminated or controlled for. Under these conditions lateral masking is still found, and it is still asymmetrical (peripheral items interfere with recognition of central items more than central with peripheral}. These experim...

The morphology of the swim bladder and inner ear of the nurseryfish, Kurtus gulliveri, appear adapted for enhanced pressure wave reception. The saccule is enlarged and surrounded by very thin bone and two large fontanelles that would present reduced resistance to pressure waves. The swim bladder is elaborate, with six dorsolaterally projecting pairs of lobes that are tightly encased in ribs and...

Selective attention allows to focus on relevant information and to ignore distracting features of a visual scene. These principles of information processing are reflected in response properties of neurons in visual area V4: if a neuron is presented with two stimuli in its receptive field, and one is attended, it responds as if the nonattended stimulus was absent (biased competition). In additio...

One of the most difficult aspects in rhinoplasty is resolving and preventing functional compromise of the nasal valve area reliably. The nasal valves are crucial for the individual breathing competence of the nose. Structural and functional elements contribute to this complex system: the nasolabial angle, the configuration and stability of the alae, the function of the internal nasal valve, the...
