throughout life cycle of oil production wells, it is imperative to have production optimization and real response time to rapid changes of well conditions and more understanding of subsurface otherwise it is the matter of expenditure losing. smart well capabilities meet aforementioned issues. however there is a key concern in managers' mind that they have limited budget and several fields' docu...

block heights and capillary continuity between matrix blocks play paramount role in the sensitivity analysis and therefore the history matching of cumulative oil production and production rate of carbonated fractured reservoirs. in this study, the influence of these parameters upon cumulative production and recovery factor of an iranian fractured reservoir were studied by the usage of a simulat...

the energy efficiency, greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions, and carbon efficiency of paddy rice production were analysed in sari in the mazandaran province of iran during 2011–2012. data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with paddy producers. the results showed that the net energy gain was 27,932 mj ha-1 and energy efficiency was 1.83 during production. the results of the cobb-doug...

suspension system as one of the most important key elements of vehicle has always been considered by research centres and auto makers over the world and this issue is more important on sport cars which have special sensitive working conditions and even the smallest defect can strongly affect their performances. in this study, optimization of effective handling parameters of a sport car with thr...

abstract accurate water measurement and delivery are basic issues in irrigation networks management and performance. in this regard, baffle modules have been considered as appropriate means for delivering almost constant discharge within a specific range of upstream water variation. the structure is meant for low discharge delivery and could be employed in farm irrigation. however, the design c...

introduction: contrast sensitivity is one of the most important psychophysical tests that may be used for the evaluation of refractive state of eye and retinal image quality. yellow vs. blue color contrast sensitivity may be more suitable in this regard. materials and methods: thirty myopic eyes were considered in this study. yellow vs. blue color contrast sensitivity was evaluated under the sa...

objective: there are some studies about the good effects of herbal medicine on blood glucose. this study was designed to evaluate the synergism effect of peganum harmala (p.harmala), quercus infectoria (q.i), vaccinium myrtillus (v.myrtillus), citrullos colocynthis (c.colocynthis), securigera securidaca (s.s) on blood glucosein type 2 diabetic patients. materials and methods: twenty four type 2...

conclusions using tzpsad as an adjunct to psa may improve the specificity of psa in the diagnosis of pca and decrease the number of unnecessary prostatic biopsies in iranian men with serum psa level < 20 ng/ml. results among 1120 men who were eligible for enrolment, prostate cancer was detected in 265 patients. mean serum psa levels were 9.7 ± 4.3 ng/ml and 8.5 ± 3.7 ng/ml in patients with and ...
