Carbon dioxide miscible flooding has become one of the important technologies for improving oil recovery. The Minimum Miscible Pressure (MMP) is key parameter to realize flooding. As MMP in research area higher than formation fracture pressure, cannot be formed. To address this problem, it necessary find a way reduce MMP. Citric acid isobutyl ester chosen carbon and crude research. effect citri...

The authors examined the extent to which nonverbal behavior contributes to culturally shared attitudes and beliefs. In Study 1, especially slim women elicited especially positive nonverbal behaviors in popular television shows. In Study 2, exposure to this nonverbal bias caused women to have especially slim cultural and personal ideals of female beauty and to have especially positive attitudes ...

Facial electromyography (EMG) was used to gauge emotional responding towards images of slim and overweight individuals, and findings were compared with data from a series of alternative measures including two implicit attitudinal procedures, the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) and the Implicit Association Test (IAT), and explicit measures of anti-fat prejudice and discriminatory...

input frequency is one of the important variables in design and performance analysis of single-sided linear induction motors (slims). changing the frequency changes both the dimension of the slim in design process and the performance of the designed motor. the frequency influences the induced eddy currents in the secondary sheet as well as saturation level of the secondary back-iron. in this pa...

This paper presents the evaluation of seismic performance and cost-effectiveness of a multiple slim-type damper system developed for the vibration control of earthquake excited buildings. The multiple slim-type damper (MSD) that consists of several small slim-type dampers and linkage units can control damping capacity easily by changing the number of small dampers. To evaluate the performance o...

A dynamic thrust calculation method is proposed on the basis of gap flux density and motor speed. In this method, the steady and dynamic end effect of SLIM are considered with less coupling parameters. Then the aberrance extent of magnetic flux density at different slip frequency and the influence to dynamic thrust of SLIM is analyzed. Using this method, a SLIM can be optimized to increase runn...

S OF PAPERS 217 molecular function terms belonging to 325 diverse functions, summarized into 21 GO slim categories. A total of 302 proteins had assigned 1617 GO cellular component terms belonging to 231 cellular compartments, grouped into 17 GO slim categories. A total of 275 proteins had designated 2256 GO biological process terms from 690 biological processes, fused into 18 GO slim categories...

A better similarity mapping function across heterogeneous high-dimensional features is very desirable for many applications involving multi-modal data. In this paper, we introduce coupled dictionary learning (DL) into supervised sparse coding for multi-modal (crossmedia) retrieval. We call this Supervised coupleddictionary learning with group structures for MultiModal retrieval (SliM). SliM for...

Given a transmembrane protein, we wish to find related ones by a database search. Due to the strongly hydrophobic amino acid composition of transmembrane domains, suboptimal results are obtained when general-purpose scoring matrices such as BLOSUM are used. Recently, a transmembrane-specific score matrix called PHAT was shown to perform much better than BLOSUM. In this article, we derive a tran...

In the field of microwave hyperthermia, the use of minimally invasive applicators is recognized as a very promising technique for the treatment of small tumours because a very thin applicator can be easily introduced inside the body and precisely localized using the most advanced 3D imaging techniques and surgical robots. Minimally invasive hyperthermic applicators (MIHA) have been successfully...
