Knowledge of the distribution of permeability and porosity in a reservoir is necessary for the prediction of future oil production, estimation of the location of bypassed oil, and optimization of reservoir management. But while the volume of data that can potentially provide information on reservoir architecture and fluid distributions has increased enormously in the past decade, it is not yet ...

Persistence of the latent viral reservoir has been recognized as a major obstacle to eradicating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in infected individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy. It has been suggested that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) may purge HIV in the latent viral reservoir. However, the effect of HDACis on the degree and extent of HIV expression in the latent viral re...

Abstract. Reservoir computing is a recent paradigm that has proved to be quite effective given the classical difficulty in training recurrent neural networks. An approach to using reservoir recurrent neural networks has been recently proposed for static problems and in this paper we look at the influence of the reservoir size, spectral radius and connectivity on the classification error in thes...

This paper presents a mathematical model for transient flow of the non-Newtonian power-law fluid in double porous media and fractal reservoir. By using Douglas-Jones predictor-corrector method, we obtain the solution for the constant rate condition at a single well in an infinite reservoir. The flow behavior is also analyzed. Finally, we discuss the pressure response to the various parameters. ...

The impact of rainwater on the microbial quality of a tropical freshwater reservoir through atmospheric wet deposition of microorganisms was studied for the first time. Reservoir water samples were collected at four different sampling points and rainwater samples were collected in the immediate vicinity of the reservoir sites for a period of four months (January to April, 2012) during the North...

OBJECTIVE To determine the usefulness of a separate reservoir placed at the site of the shunt in evaluation of shunt malfunction. METHODS AND MATERIALS A ventricular catheter was placed alongside the proximal catheter of the shunt and connected to a subgaleal reservoir in 17 patients, in 9 a double-lumen catheter with integrated reservoir and in 13 patients a dual catheter with a double-port ...

A dynamic water allocation framework for a multipurpose, single reservoir is formulated to utilize climate information based reservoir inflow forecasts to quantify the reliability of use for the given demand. Based on the semi-parametric approach of De Souza and Lall [2003], 12 months lead retrospective reservoir inflow forecasts were developed for the period July 1990June 2000 for the Oros res...

Mercury pollution was compared in two Oregon reservoirs of similar size and age, located within the same ecoregion. Cottage Grove Reservoir was distinguished by a history of mercury mining and processing within its watershed, while Dorena Reservoir was not. Mercury concentrations in sediments of the reservoirs, tributary streams, and three species of fish were measured. Sediment mercury concent...

the source of cement in oilfields is critical to the prediction of the distribution of cements in the reservoirs and also prediction of reservoir quality. the source of mineral forming cements has been determined for the storrington oolitic carbonate reservoir (middle jurassic great oolite formation, weald basin, onshore uk) using a combination of petrography, electron microscopy, fluid inclusi...

The Conowingo Reservoir is situated on the Susquehanna River, immediately upstream of Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States. Sedimentation in the reservoir provides an unintended benefit to the bay by preventing sediments, organic matter, and nutrients from entering the bay. The sediment storage capacity of the reservoir is nearly exhausted, however, and the resulting increas...
