Klinkenberg permeability is an important parameter in tight gas reservoirs. There are conventional methods for determining it, but these methods depend on core permeability. Cores are few in number, but well logs are usually accessible for all wells and provide continuous information. In this regard, regression methods have been used to achieve reliable relations between log readings and Klinke...

Politics, public discourse, and legislation restricting abortion has settled on a moderate orthodoxy: restrict abortion, but leave exceptions for pregnancies that result from rape and incest. I challenge that consensus and suggest it may be much harder to defend than those who support the compromise think. From both Pro-Life and Pro-Choice perspectives, there are good reasons to treat all abort...

background the use of dietary supplements is very common in sport gyms worldwide. however, their use in exercisers in lebanese gyms has never been investigated. conclusions these results indicate a lack of awareness among people who exercise regularly on the benefits and side-effects of dietary supplements. there is an urgent need for the implementation of campaigns that target gym users in leb...

In 1955, in [2], Dieudonne, observing that each symplectic group Sp(V) is generated by its transvections, considered the problem of finding the minimal number of factors in the expression of elements 0 of Sp(V) as products of transvections in Sp(V).l The answer is in general residue cr, but with some classes of exceptions. Complications arise when the underlying field is 5, , and Dieudonne’s li...

Although still predominantly rural, Rwanda is one of the world’s fastest-urbanising countries. This paper considers the Rwandan Patriotic Front’s approach to urban development in the context of intense pressure on land and a stated long-term agenda of moving towards a future that is ‘100% urban’. The RPF government has won plaudits for its transformation of Kigali, and its Land Tenure Regularis...

The Coase theorem depends on a number of assumptions, among others, perfect information about each other's payoff function, maximising behaviour and zero transaction costs. An important question is whether the Coase theorem holds for real market transactions when these assumptions are violated. This is the question examined in this paper. We consider the results of Danish waterworks' attempts t...
