Calocybe indica, a tropical edible mushroom, is popular because it has good nutritive value and it can be cultivated commercially. The current investigation was undertaken to determine a suitable substrate and the appropriate thickness of casing materials for the cultivation of C. indica. Optimum mycelial growth was observed in coconut coir substrate. Primordia initiation with the different sub...

ABSTRACT- Almost all oyster mushroom producers in Iran produce this kind of mushroom without any kind of casing soil. Although different kinds of casing soils are available for Agaricus bisporus, limited information is available regarding Pleurotus ostreatus. Availability of peat in many regions around the world is a concern and some researchers' efforts have been devoted to a search for altern...

Brookhaven National Laboratory was requested to conduct a literature survey for the best available cement to use in the proposed casing patch as part of the Geothermal Drilling Organization (GDO) project on remediation of deformed casings. A total of 50 wells has been identified with deformed production casing in Unocal’s portion of The Geysers geothermal field. Reduced internal diameter and ca...

When the thermal stresses induced in a geothermal well’s casing string exceed the yield strength of the casing material, the fatigue behavior of the latter can be defined as low cycle fatigue (LCF). The connection threads in the casing body amplify the local stress distribution and lower LCF resistance. A theoretical approach is presented to evaluate LCF resistance and compared with preliminary...

This paper analyzed the characteristics of managed pressure drilling (MPD) technology and impact of wellhead back pressure on the wellbore annulus pressure profile, and found that the application of this technology provides room for improvement to the current casing program design. Meanwhile, the equivalent density of drilling fluid in wellbore annulus needs to consider the impact of back press...

SUMMARY Detailed measurements have been made of the casing boundary layer flow before and after the nozzle blades of a single stage model air turbine. The measurements were made with the natural casing inlet boundary layer and two artificially thickened boundary layers. The results differ considerably from those usually obtained in two dimensional cascades. There was no sign of the usual second...

This research paper presents numerical studies of the characteristics of warhead fragmentation in terms of initial velocities, spray angles of fragments and fragment mass distribution of high explosive (HE) warhead. The behavior of warhead fragmentation depends on shape and size of warhead, thickness of casing, type of explosive, number and position of detonator, and etc. This paper focuses on ...

One of the major problems faced by the oilfields in the middle time is casing damage. The neural network, the improvement BP as well as the three-layer feed forward neural network applied in damage diagnosis is a key way to prevent damage. The formations of the damage are corresponded to the input vector. Factors such as casing age limit, strata stress, soaking time are described as real Number...
