Abstract The present work proposes an analytical model to calculate the pressure response for multilayered radially composite reservoirs considering presence of formation crossflow along with all layers. behavior transient during production tests in non-communicating layers has been widely studied, however there is still a lack studies communicating layers, i.e., such model. In that sense, main...

Due to the complexity imposed by all attributes of fracture network many naturally fractured reservoirs, it has been observed that fluid flow does not necessarily represent a normal diffusion, i.e., Darcy’s law. Thus, capture sub-diffusion process, various tools have implemented, from fractal geometry characterize structure porous medium fractional calculus include memory effect in flow. Consid...

Developing green and sustainable cooling strategies is the key to reducing energy consumption carbon emission for energy-intensive facilities, particularly data centers. One clean strategy geothermal cooling, in which ground used as an infinite year-round stable heat sink. Heat rejection can be achieved by circulating water a closed loop between number of underground reservoirs computer room ai...

Abstract Fracture matrix transfer functions have long been recognized as tools in modelling naturally fractured reservoirs. If a significant degree of fracturing is present, models involving single blocks and block distributions become relevant. However, this captures only the largest fracture sets treats homogeneous, though possibly anisotropic. Herein, we produce steady transient baseline sol...

BACKGROUND, AIM, AND SCOPE Fujian reservoirs in southeast China are important water resources for economic and social sustainable development, although few have been studied previously. In recent years, growing population and increasing demands for water shifted the focus of many reservoirs from flood control and irrigation water to drinking water. However, most of them showed a rapid increase ...

HIV's ability to establish latent reservoirs of reactivation-competent virus is the major barrier to cure. "Shock and kill" methods consisting of latency-reversing agents (LRAs) followed by elimination of reactivating cells through cytopathic effects are under active development. However, the clinical efficacy of LRAs remains to be established. Moreover, recent studies indicate that reservoirs ...

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae have been isolated from humans and animals across the world. However, data on prevalence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae from rural water reservoirs is limited. This study aimed to isolate and characterize ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in rural water reservoirs in Guantao, China. ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae were...

Leishmania parasites cause a group of diseases collectively known as leishmaniases. The primary hosts of Leishmania are sylvatic mammals of several orders (Rodentia, Marsupialia, Carnivora, etc.). Under certain circumstances, particularly in peridomestic and domestic transmission foci, synanthropic and domestic animals can act as source of infection for phlebotomine sand fly vectors. Dogs have ...

Floating platforms at the hydropower plant reservoirs are attractive sites for aquaculture, fishing and other recreational activities. However, the unregulated construction of these platforms may negatively affect the fauna, flora and water quality of reservoirs. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of floating platforms on the limnological aspects of Nova Ponte hydropower plant reserv...

Many infectious agents, especially those that cause emerging diseases, infect more than one host species. Managing reservoirs of multihost pathogens often plays a crucial role in effective disease control. However, reservoirs remain variously and loosely defined. We propose that reservoirs can only be understood with reference to defined target populations. Therefore, we define a reservoir as o...
