Surface and Subsurface Geochemical Monitoring of an EOR-CO2 Field: Buracica, Brazil — This paper presents a surface and subsurface geochemical survey of the Buracica EOR-CO2 field onshore Brazil. We adopted a methodology coupling the stable isotopes of carbon with noble gases to investigate the adequacy of geochemical monitoring to track deep fluid leakage at the surface. Three campaigns of CO2...

We present new predictions for temperature (on small angular scales) and polarization (on large angular scales) CMB anisotropies induced during the epoch of reionization (EoR). Using a novel method calibrated from radiation-hydrodynamic simulations we model the EoR in large volumes (L & 2 Gpc/h). We find that the EoR contribution to the kinetic SunyaevZel’dovich power spectrum (patchy kSZ) rang...

Foam-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is poised to become one of the most promising tertiary techniques keep up with continuously increasing global energy demands. Due their low sensitivity gravity and permeability heterogeneities that improve sweep efficiency, foams are preferred injection fluids over water or gas. Although foam has been used in field control gas mobility, its success still hindere...

nied with no pupillary change, it was most probably realised through the activity of the oculomotor nerve although we did not perform EMG recording of the muscles. The afferent limb of this reflex is probably attributable to proprioceptive impulses rising in the deep tissues of the arm such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints participating in flexion of the arm. It is unlikely that pain ...

To increase the oil recovery factor (RF), enhanced (EOR) methods are applied: chemical, gas, thermal, and combined ones. Standard laboratory research for selecting optimizing EOR technologies require a lot of time resources, as well core material, which is often in short supply. optimize selection reagents field development technologies, use microfluidic technology proposed i.e. conducting expe...

Treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) consists of microsurgical resection followed by concomitant radiochemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy. The best outcome regarding progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) is achieved by maximal resection. The foundation of a specialized neuro-oncology care center (NOC) has enabled the implementation of a large technical portfolio including functional im...

Radio astronomical probes of cosmic reionization and the first luminous sources: probing the 'twilight zone' Abstract. The epoch of reionization (EoR) corresponds to a 'cosmic phase transition', when the neutral intergalactic medium (IGM) becomes ionized by the first stars and/or AGN. While the discoveries of Gunn-Peterson (GP) absorption troughs in the spectra of the highest redshift QSOs, and...

Humans can monitor actions and compensate for errors. Analysis of the human event-related brain potentials (ERPs) accompanying errors provides evidence for a neural process whose activity is specifically associated with monitoring and compensating for erroneous behavior. This error-related activity is enhanced when subjects strive for accurate performance but is diminished when response speed i...
