for technical and economic success of miscible gas injection projects, an accurate laboratory measurement of minimum miscibility pressure (mmp) at reservoir conditions is essential. on the other hand, compositional reservoir simulator is a useful tool in gas injection studies and prediction of mmp. the main goal of this paper is to describe a procedure to generate a three phase sequential type ...

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Sliding Memory Plane (SliM) Array Processor, a mesh-connected SIMD architecture. To build the array processor, we developed the SliM chip consisting of mesh-connected 5 x 5 processing elements (PEs). Due to the idea of sliding, that is, overlapping the inter-PE communication with the computation, the SliM chip can greatly reduce the inter-P...

background and aim: some risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea (osa) such as upper respiratory airways abnormalities and obesity overlap with the risk factors for eustachian tube dysfunction (etd). in this study, we investigated the prevalence of etd in a population of patients with osa. methods: tubal dysfunction was determined by tympanometry and inflation-deflation test in 36 patients dia...

The publicly available Japanese data on the use of slim holes in geothermal exploration and reservoir assessment are reviewed in this report. Slim holes have been used for (1) obtaining core for geological studies, (2) delineating the stratigraphic structure, (3) characterizing reservoir fluid state (pressure, temperature, etc . ) , and (4) defining the permeability structure for reservoir asse...

For technical and economic success of miscible gas injection projects, an accurate laboratory measurement of Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) at reservoir conditions is essential. On the other hand, compositional reservoir simulator is a useful tool in gas injection studies and prediction of MMP. The main goal of this paper is to describe a procedure to generate a three phase sequential t...

Short linear motifs (SLiMs) in proteins are self-sufficient functional sequences that specify interaction sites for other molecules and thus mediate a multitude of functions. Computational, as well as experimental biological research would significantly benefit, if SLiMs in proteins could be correctly predicted de novo with high sensitivity. However, de novo SLiM prediction is a difficult compu...

Input frequency is one of the important variables in design and performance analysis of single-sided linear induction motors (SLIMs). Changing the frequency changes both the dimension of the SLIM in design process and the performance of the designed motor. The frequency influences the induced eddy currents in the secondary sheet as well as saturation level of the secondary back-iron. In this pa...

Although, Single-Sided Linear Induction Motor (SLIM) utilization has increased in railway applications due to their numerous advantages in comparison to Rotational Induction Motors (RIM), there are some sophistication in their mathematical models and electrical drive. This paper focuses on the problems of SLIM modeling, with assuming end-effect on the basis of Field Oriented Control (FOC) as a ...

We introduce SLIM, a hybrid storage system that uses disks within data center racks to implement persistent caches for storage area networks (SANs). SLIM leverages compression and block overwrites to reduce traffic on data center oversubscribed network links and to improve performance for low-cost SANs. We evaluate SLIM using various microbenchmarks and industry standard benchmarks. Our results...
