The Lorenz curve is used to estimate the heterogeneity of an oil reservoir. The corresponding permeability distributions in a series of concept reservoir models with a uniform average permeability but different heterogeneities are obtained and characterized by inverse calculation of the Lorenz curve. Then the development laws of a reservoir in relation to its heterogeneity are studied in method...

Background There is a lack of evidence-based substance use disorder treatment and services targeting returning inmates. Substance Use Programming for Person-Oriented Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) is a community-driven, recovery-oriented approach to substance abuse care which has the potential to address this service gap. SUPPORT is modeled after Indiana's Access to Recovery program, which wa...

Abstract Ultimate Taipan integrates trace abstraction with algebraic program analysis on path programs. supports data race checking in concurrent programs through a reduction to reachability checking. Though the subsequent verification is not tuned for checking, results are encouraging.

Super-resolution microscopy with phase masks is a promising technique for 3D imaging and tracking. Due to the complexity of the resultant point spread functions, generalized recovery algorithms are still missing. We introduce a 3D super-resolution recovery algorithm that works for a variety of phase masks generating 3D point spread functions. A fast deconvolution process generates initial guess...

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a promising technology used for bioenergy conversion from bio-wastes such as sewage sludge, livestock manure, and food waste. To determine the optimum HTC reaction temperature in maximizing the gross energy recovery efficiency of poultry slaughterhouse sludge cake, a pilot-scale HTC reactor was designed and operated under reaction temperatures of 170, 180, 19...

This paper provides a general statistical methodology for modeling environmental pathogen concentrations in natural waters. A hierarchical model of pathogen concentrations captures site and regional random effects as well as random laboratory recovery rates. Recovery rates were modeled by a Generalized Linear Mixed Model. Two classes of pathogen concentration models are differentiated according...

" apoplectic strokes " is one of the most important and most interesting fields for research at the present time. They cut short so many vigorous lives, or reduce them almost to the level of a vegetative existence. They arise, too, in the course of so many different diseases, and checkmate us when a prospect of recovery is in sight. The majority of the cases are accompanied by organic lesions, ...
