Before possible multi-well pilots and full field-scale implementation, chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects usually follow an incremental screening procedure from the laboratory through single-well pilots. Laboratory-scale core floods at reservoir conditions validate surfactant performance before committing to field trials. However, in single short plugs, volumetric averages do not cor...

The characterization of fluid-transport properties of rocks is one of the most important, yet difficult, challenges of reservoir geophysics, but is essential for optimal development of hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs. Production of shale oil, shale gas, heavy oil and geothermal energy, as well as carbon-dioxide sequestration, are relatively recent developments where borehole fluid injecti...

60-year-old woman was treated for a brain metastasis. the patient received intensity-modulated radiation therapy (sib-imrt) dose of 30 gy for the whole brain and 40 gy delivered simultaneously to individual brain metastases in 10 fractions. the present report investigated the influence of applied novel prepared treatment plan, among others the fractionation protocol on the electroencephalogram ...

the present study aimed to analyze reprint request e-mail messages written by postgraduates (ma students) of two fields of study, namely physics and efl, to realize the differences and similarities between the two email types. to investigate the purpose of the study, a sample of 100 e-mail messages, 50 physics and 50 efl, were analyzed according to swales’ (1990) model for reprint requests and ...

modeling areas exposed to oil pollution in the coastal city of bandar abbas using electre-i and ahp models 1-introduction persian gulf coasts, is considered if the beach oil - gas, fisheries, trading and residential. during the persian gulf coast of the role of communication and sea transportation due to the national and international trade, legal and illegal, from oil and gas activities and fi...

Scintillation materials and detectors that are used in many applications, such as medical imaging, security, oil-logging, high energy physics and non-destructive inspection, are reviewed. The fundamental physics understood today is explained, and common scintillators and scintillation detectors are introduced. The properties explained here are light yield, energy non-proportionality, emission w...

Subsurface applications including geothermal, geological carbon sequestration, oil and gas, etc., typically involve maximizing either the extraction of energy or the storage of fluids. Characterizing the subsurface is extremely complex due to heterogeneity and anisotropy. Due to this complexity, there are uncertainties in the subsurface parameters, which need to be estimated from multiple diver...

We present a practical method to solve Faddeev three-body equations at energies above three-body breakup threshold as integral equations in coordinate space. This is an extension of previously used method for bound states and scattering states below three-body breakup threshold energy. We show that breakup components in three-body reactions produce long-range effects on Faddeev integral kernels...
