Filtration index of the drilling fluid is an important parameter of well drilling, especially at drilling-in the reservoirs. Standard parameter in the study of drilling fluids is static filtration index. At the same time, it is more feasible to determine dynamic filtration index, if considering actual conditions of the well. Use of polymer carbonate-weighted drilling fluids is advisable at dril...

The article considers the issue of reducing the influence of clayless mud components on the filtration parameters of the reservoir. In the composition of such solutions, calcium carbonate of various fractions is often added as a weighting and colmatizing additive. It is generally accepted that weighting bridging agents are sufficiently inert substances and their addition does not affect the rhe...

Filtration of the drilling mud is one of it's most important parameters, especially when drilling-in producing formation. Decrease of filtration characteristics allows reducing both solid and liquid phases's penetration zone into the formation. The study of the effect of the weighting-bridging agent's fractional composition on the filtration rate allows selecting of optimal composition of the s...

OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to describe inpatient anticoagulation and bridging in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and to identify whether differences exist in length of stay (LOS) among bridged versus non-bridged NVAF patients. DESIGN Administrative claims data were used to select patients ≥18 years with a primary or secondary discharge diagnosis of NVAF ...

This paper aims to motivate the impact of personality on essential elements of the behaviour of agents (e.g. decisionmaking processes, emotions, moods, or coping strategies). We show that available works on agent behaviour and works that investigate the nature of emotions are somewhat disconnected and that bridging this gap is able to further our efforts in conceptualising human behaviour in so...

Bridging and bonding are concepts that come from social capital discourse. In this paper, we describe a novel multi-agent model of social evolution, called Statistical Evolution of Social Groups (SESG). We use the model to simulate and monitor the generation and evolution of social communities that exhibit bridging, bonding, or a mix of both.

In the last few years, efforts have been done towards bridging the gap between agent technology and de facto standard technologies, aiming at introducing multi-agent systems in industrial applications. This paper presents an experience done by using one of such proposals, Agent UML. Agent UML is a graphical modelling language based on UML. The practical usage of this notation has brought to sug...

Liquid metal as liquid bridging agent to connect heat fillers at the filler/filler interface plays a vital role enchance thermal conductivity of polymer composite, which has high TC 2.64 ± 0.10 W m ?1 K .

The creation of a general architecture for the use of agents in production planning is addressed. The modularity and flexibility provided by an agent-oriented system proves itself useful in dynamic scenarios. The anthropomorphic features of the agents make them suitable for Electronic Commerce systems. Agents enable the interconnection of already existent web-based systems with the production l...
