Establishing an Ad Hoc Infrastructure for Innovative Technologies Deployment: the Case of Knowledge- Based Systems

In this paper, referring to the Model for General Knowledge Management within the Enterprise (MGKME), we emphasize two of the operating elements of this model, which are essential to insure the organizational learning process that leads people to appropriate and use concepts, methods and tools of KM considered as an innovative technology: the “Ad hoc Infrastructures” element, and the “Organizat...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Innovative Technologies for Waste Water Disinfection and Pathogen Detection

New and improved methods are needed to disinfect pathogens in treated wastewater, especially highly resistant ones like Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts. In addition, new and improved methods are needed to detect pathogens and indicators for them in wastewater in order to monitor the efficacy of disinfection and other waste water treatment processes. Spores of the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium ...

Probabilistic Contaminant Source Identification in Water Distribution Infrastructure Systems

Large water distribution systems can be highly vulnerable to penetration of contaminant factors caused by different means including deliberate contamination injections. As contaminants quickly spread into a water distribution network, rapid characterization of the pollution source has a high measure of importance for early warning assessment and disaster management. In this paper, a methodology...
