Background/introduction Unilateral lung flooding replaces air with saline in lung parenchyma. It has been shown, that in flooded condition ultrasound guidance and HIFU ablation of central lung cancer tissue is feasible. The flooding process generates a saline-lung compound which is different than known parenchymal tissue. Complete understanding of the flooding process is essential for its imple...

A hydrothermal doublet system was drilled in a fault-related granitic reservoir Cornwall. It targets the Porthtowan Fault Zone (PTF), which transects Carnmenellis granite, one of onshore plutons Cornubian Batholith SW England. At 5058 m depth (TVD, 5275 MD) up to 190 °C were reached dedicated production well. The injection well is aligned vertically above and reaches 2393 MD. As part design pro...

Due to the serious climate change, severe weather conditions constantly change the environment’s phenomena. Floods turned out to be one of the most devastating catastrophes for Europe's population, economy and environment during the past decades. In this paper we are using geographic information systems (GIS) as a modeling tool for the prediction and prevention of such effects. We provide an em...

The Chobe River Basin (CRB), a sub-basin of the Upper Zambezi Basin shared by Namibia and Botswana, is a complex hydrologic system that lies at the center of the world’s largest transfrontier conservation area. Despite its regional importance for livelihoods and biodiversity, its hydrology, controlled by the timing and relative contributions of water from two regional rivers, remains poorly und...

Denial of Service attacks is divided into two types, one is logic attack and the another one is flooding attack. Logic attack exploits security holl of the software such as operating system and web server bugs, then causes system crash or degrade in the performance. Logic attack can be defended by upgrading software and/or filtering particular packet sequences. Comparing each packets of the flo...

The flooding games, which are called Flood-It, Mad Virus, or HoneyBee, are a kind of coloring games and they have been becoming popular online. In these games, each player colors one specified cell in his/her turn, and all connected neighbor cells of the same color are also colored by the color. This flooding or coloring spreads on the same color cells. It is natural to consider the coloring ga...

In this paper, taking account of the major physical and chemical mechanisms, such as: for polymer, shearing propertypermeability reduction, adsorption, inaccessible porous volumes, for gel, gelation speed, water viscosity changing with gel, permeability reduction, adsorption and retention in reservoir rocks, a three-dimensional, three-phase (oleic, vapor, aqueous) and six-component mathematical...
