Gulf surges are transient disturbances that propagate along the Gulf of California (GoC) from south to north, transporting cool moist air toward the deserts of northwest Mexico and the southwest United States during the North American monsoon. They have been shown to modulate precipitation and have been linked to severe weather and flooding in northern Mexico and the southwest United States. Th...

This thesis was set to tackle the gas coning problem in oil-rim reservoirs with horizontal wells. The focus was short term production planning in the sub-critical phase only. Different controllers were developed and assessed based on the objective of netpresent-value (NPV) of oil produced in the sub-critical phase. The reservoir model is a 1-D partial differential equation describing the dynami...

Numerous applications processing 3D point data will gain from the ability to estimate reliably normals and differential geometric properties encoding curvature. In general, normal estimation is notoriously unreliable, the errors propagate and lead to unreliable curvature estimates. Frankot-Chellappa introduced the use of integrability constraints in normal estimation. Their approach deals with ...

California sea lions Zalophus californianus occupy 26 islands in the Gulf of California (GoC), Mexico. Although human presence is prohibited on these islands without a government permit, the law is not enforced and tourism to the islands is increasing. Tourists, along with local fishermen, often come ashore to get close to the animals, which may disrupt behaviors critical for reproduction. In t...

Over the past years, bottom-up bionanotechnology has been developed as a promising tool for future technological applications. Many of these biomolecule-based assemblies are characterized using various single-molecule techniques that require strict anaerobic conditions. The most common oxygen scavengers for single-molecule experiments are glucose oxidase and catalase (GOC) or protocatechuate di...

In this study, anatomical, morphometric and volumetric analyses of the mandible Hamdani sheep were performed using computed tomography (CT) three-dimensional (3D) software. For purpose, 16 (eight males, eight females) heads used. Images these taken on a 64-detector CT device applying 80 kV, 200 MA, 639 mGY, 0.625 mm section thickness. Scan images each subject converted into models 3D software r...

background and aims. odontogenic cysts and tumors have a wide spectrum of clinical characteristics that lead to the different management strategies. since definite diagnosis is difficult in some cases, it has been suggested that cd56 may be a candidate marker for definitive diagnosis of some odontogenic tumors. the present study was designed to examine cd56 expression in lesions with histopatho...

This paper presents a study of examining the correlation between the satellite observations and the ground-based measurements of air quality in Ontario, Canada. Two atmospheric parameters-total ozone burden (TOB), and aerosol optical depth (AOD) data-were extracted from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) atmosphere data products. TOB and AOD were then compared with the co...

Oxygen (O₂) concentration inside the substrate is an important measurement for silage-research and-practical management. In the laboratory gas chromatography is commonly employed for O₂ measurement. Among sensor-based techniques, accurate and reliable in situ measurement is rare because of high levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) generated by the introduction of O₂ in the silage. The presented study...
