Bioavailable water concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and organochlorine pesticides (OCP) were measured in the water column from Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) collected in May 2008 using semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs). The sampling sites spanned the whole reservoir from the upstream Chongqing to the great dam covering more than 600 k...

the objectives of this study are to investigate chromosomal aberrations of snakehead fish in a leachate-affected reservoir located 100 meters from a municipal landfill which compared to non-affected reservoir. three snakehead fish were collected and chromosomal aberrations were studied using kidney tissue. lead and mercury were measured in water, sediment and snakehead fish from the affected re...

saymareh dam and hydro-power plant are under construction on saymareh river in ravandi anticline, ilam province. during boring the power tunnel which crosses the anticline, a large volume of water was encountered. this volume of water was not observed in the past. considering the water quality of springs, water level of dam site piezometers, geological and hydrogeological inspections, isotope a...

in this work, studies of underground gas storage (ugs) were performed on a partially depleted, naturally fractured gas reservoir through compositional simulation. reservoir dynamic model was calibrated by history matching of about 20 years of researvoir production. effects of fracture parameters, i.e. fracture shape factor, fracture permeability and porosity were studied. results showed that di...

Time-series observations were conducted in the Dowleiswaram dam reservoir that was constructed on the largest monsoonal river in India to understand the source of inorganic carbon, and fluxes to the atmosphere. The reservoir stores water during dry period of six months and water increases during the period when Indian subcontinent receives significant rainfall. Significant modification of organ...

water saturation and cation exchange capacity are the most significant parameters used to calculate a hydrocarbon zone potential. in clean formations, by applying the famous archie model, which assumes that in the formation the only electric conductor is the formation water, the water saturation can be calculated. additionally, in shaly sand formations this assumption may not be true as the ion...

dashte-mashhad reservoir provides the water supply needed for irrigating 120 acres of agricultural lands and also the soft water for people living in mashhad, chenaran, golbahar and a number of villages in the region. the deep wells of the region have been using the water stored in this reservoir since 1350 in a rate which exceeds that of water being imported to it, hence the decrement of the w...

Using a new measurement of the D/H fractionation efficiency and new estimates of the water loss, we calculate that Mars has the equivalent of a approximately 9 m global water layer in a reservoir that exchanges with the atmosphere. The measured D/H enrichment is about 5 times the terrestrial value, but without exchange, the atmosphere converges on an enrichment of 50 in about 0.5 Ma. Due to the...

This paper deals with a new technique for automatic segmentation of unconstrained handwritten connected numerals. To take care of variability involved in the writing style of different individuals a robust scheme is presented here. The scheme is mainly based on features obtained from a concept based on water reservoir. A reservoir is a metaphor to illustrate the region where numerals touch. Res...
