in this paper mathematical extensions and generalizations of the pearl-reed model for'growth with saturation are discussed. the derived differential equation are of bernoulli and riccati type that owing to their special forms could be explicitely integrated resulting in closed form solutions. the asymptotic bahaviour of the system in each case is briefly examined and the results are compar...

application of archie equation in carbonate reservoirs is not easy due to high dependence of its parameters on carbonate characteristics. carbonates are very heterogeneous in nature and hydrocarbon reserve estimation in these reservoirs of mostly oil-wet and intermediate-wet is highly influenced by the input values of saturation exponent. to our knowledge, non representative oils have been used...

All optical wavelength conversion is demonstrated at 10 Gbit/s over a wavelength span of 10 nm without any bit loss by the use of Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) in a Mach-Zehnder configuration. These wavelength conversion architectures are implemented by using SOA cross-gain modulation (XGM) and cross-phase modulation (XPM) techniques. We have compared the results of both techniques on t...

Laser fusion simulations are carried out for DT and D- He pellets by using a hydrodynamic code including heating from all charged reaction products and neutrons. It is shown that the inclusion of the side reactions and heating from all reaction products in the fuel pellets have an appreciable effect on the plasma temperature, the ICF drive energy requirement, fusion gain and the ignition c...

Flat-top, Ar-Xe laser pulses at 1.73 ,um have been achieved by pumping the laser medium with a constant-current electron beam for pulse durations of up to 2.5 ms. The 220 keV electron beam pumped an active volume of 50X 8X6 cm3 at power loadings of 6-100 W/cm3. Small signal gain, saturation flux, and nonsaturable absorption were determined as a function of Xe concentration, total gas pressure, ...
