Numerous reservoirs that play a significant role in worldwide petroleum production and reserves contain fractures. Typically, the fractures must form connected network for reservoir to be classified as naturally fractured. Characterizing with focus on its fracture is crucial modeling predicting performance. To simplify solution, dual-continuum techniques are commonly employed. However, use cont...

We study the assisted inflation scenario from the rolling of N BPS D3-brane into the NS5-branes, on a transverse geometry of R3 × S1, coupled to four dimensional gravity. We assume that the branes are distributed along S1 and the probe D3branes spin along R3 plane. Qualitatively this process is similar to that of N-tachyon assisted inflation on unstable D-branes. We further study the spinflatio...

We report foam coarsening studies which were performed in the International Space Station (ISS) to suppress drainage due gravity. Foams and bubbly liquids with controlled liquid fractions φ between...

We experimentally implement the Harper Hamiltonian for neutral particles in optical lattices using laser-assisted tunneling and a potential energy gradient provided by gravity or magnetic field gradients. This Hamiltonian describes the motion of charged particles in strong magnetic fields. Laser-assisted tunneling processes are characterized by studying the expansion of the atoms in the lattice...

The focus of this talk is on the use of airway clearance techniques to assist in the removal of secretions from the lungs with particular emphasizes on their use in the NICU and PICU setting. Until the early 1990’s the term, ‘‘Chest Physiotherapy’’ was synonymous with the terms, ‘‘airway clearance techniques, or postural drainage and percussion’’ with the latter being the traditional method of ...

We study the effect of rolling of N D3-branes in the vicinity of NS5-branes. We find out that this system coupled with the four dimensional gravity gives the slow roll assisted inflation of the scalar field theory. Once again this expectation is exactly similar to that of N -tachyon assisted inflation on unstable D-branes. e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected]

OBJECTIVE To discuss the main steps of renographic technique and underline some pitfalls related to the acquisition, processing and interpretation of diuretic renography, an important method for guiding the management of asymptomatic congenital hydronephrosis. METHODS Despite guidelines and consensus protocols, renographic procedures differ among centres, causing difficulties in comparison an...
