relief wells are used extensively to relieve excess hydrostatic pressure in pervious foundation strata overlain by impervious top strata, conditions which often exist landward of levees and downstream of dams and hydraulic structures. placing well outlets in below-surface trenches or collector pipes helps dry up seepage areas downstream of levees and dams. relief wells are often used in combina...

Forty consecutive patients with uveitis constituted the probands. Behqet's disease was excluded by O'Duffy's criteria.2 The diagnosis and the localisation of the uveitis was based on clinical symptoms and signs. The nonspecific hypersensitivity to the needleprick pathergy test was done as previously described.3 The tissue typing for HLA B5 and HLA B27 was done with antisera against these 2 spec...

Wave transport in a media with a slow spatial gradient of its characteristics is found to exhibit a universal wave pattern ("gradient marker") in a vicinity of the maxima or minima of the gradient. The pattern is common for optics, quantum mechanics, and any other propagation governed by the same wave equation. Derived analytically, it has an elegantly simple yet nontrivial profile found in per...

Groundwater is one of the most crucial drinking water sources in Kurdistan. Development, urbanization, and human activities Erbil have led to a decline amount quality groundwater. This research aims investigate examine groundwater Kaniqrzhala (Erbil dumpsite) central basin Erbil, as well impact landfill this region. The investigation encompasses around 27 wells. static level assessed movement r...

This research discusses the optimization of production carried out in Well A and B. The two Wells are with three layers (multilayer) that have different characteristics for each layer. Based on performance evaluation Wells, it’s known B no longer able to produce naturally (natural flow). Therefore, necessary an artificial lift order be produce.The method used is install electric submersible pum...

For decades clinicians have been taught that pulmonary embolism—defined by the National Institutes of Health as a “sudden blockage in a lung artery”—always matters and to be vigilant because amissed embolism can be fatal.When a patient presents with shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, tachycardia, or signs of right heart strain, clinicians are trained to think “pulmonary embolism.” Becau...

This study tested the hypothesis that patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia would report the use of different thought control strategies in comparison with non-patients. The Thought Control Questionnaire [TCQ; Wells, A. & Davies, M. (1994). The thought control questionnaire: a measure of individual differences in the control of unwanted thoughts. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 32, 871-878...

[1] Indian megacities face severe water supply problems owing to factors ranging from growing population to high municipal pipe leakage rates; no Indian city provides 24/7 water supply. Current approaches to addressing the problem have been “utility centric,” overlooking the significance of decentralized activities by consumers, groundwater extraction via private wells, and aquifer recharge by ...

Methane emissions from liquid unloadings were measured at 107 wells in natural gas production regions throughout the United States. Liquid unloadings clear wells of accumulated liquids to increase production, employing a variety of liquid lifting mechanisms. In this work, wells with and without plunger lifts were sampled. Most wells without plunger lifts unload less than 10 times per year with ...
