Waterflooding remains the most commonly used method to improve oil recovery. Although injected brine type is mainly dependent on its availability, few of characteristics can be controlled during project design. Published laboratory work indicates that adjustment composition cause an increase in production by wettability alteration. This research objective propose a novel four-step framework for...

BM’s announcement of its intention to “retire” the Deep Blue computer from chess revived the interest of both the mass media and the general public in the chess match between World Champion Gary Kasparov and Deep Blue. In a sense, by refusing a rematch with Kasparov or a new match with another grand master, IBM closes a chapter in the history of artificial intelligence. AI researchers had long ...

Approximate searching on the primary structure (i.e., amino acid arrangement) of protein sequences is an essential part in predicting the functions and evolutionary histories of proteins. However, because proteins distant in an evolutionary history do not conserve amino acid residue arrangements, approximate searching on proteins’ secondary structure is quite important in finding out distant ho...

OBJECTIVE To examine the match injury profile of professional rugby union players by individual playing position. DESIGN 4-season prospective cohort design. SETTING 14 English Premiership clubs. PARTICIPANTS 899 professional players. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Incidence of match injury (recorded as the number of injuries/1000 player-hours of match exposure), severity of injury (recorded as th...

When applying rules produced by induction from training examples to a test example, there are three possible cases that demand different actions: (i) no match; (ii) single match; and (iii) multiple match. Existing techniques for dealing with the "rst and third cases are exclusively based on probability estimation. However, when there are continuous attributes in the example space, and if these ...

Existing stable matching algorithms reveal the preferences of all participants, as well as the history of matches made and broken in the course of computing a stable match. This information leakage not only violates the privacy of participants, but also leaves matching algorithms vulnerable to manipulation [8, 10, 25]. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a private stable matching ...

conclusions independent of their level, professional soccer players, need 48 hours to recover after an official match. professionals gain more fatigue than young players after a match, but recover as fast. thus, they recover more efficiently especially due to a better physical condition and fitness training. it is expected that the results showed in the study help elite soccer and fitness coach...
