For this study we selected 20 drill cores covering a wide range of depths (400-3000 m), from 15 wells, that provide a reasonable coverage of the field. Only andesite, the largely predominant rock type in the field, was included in this sample. We measured bulk density, grain (solids) density, effective porosity and (matrix) permeability on a considerable number of specimens taken from the cores...

in this work, we had examined 7 different types of neutron sources -an isotropic point source, sending 14.1(mev) monoenergetic neutrons ,an spherical source with 30 micron radius sending 14.1 (mev) monoenergetic neutrons, and a 30 micron radius spherical source having gaussian fusion energy spectrum from a d-t fusion, with different bandwidths -1,10,50,100 and 1000 kev and investigated 5 differ...

due to importance of combination therapies in cancer treatment, this study was performed to find the effects of hyperthermia and neutron irradiation and heir combination on the human lymphocytes. blood samples were treated separately with 41.5 °c for 30 and 60 minutes, 43 °c for 15 and 30 minutes, as well as 10 cgy neutron irradiation. they also treated with hyperthermia followed by irradiation...

Homogenisation of consolidation and compressible fluid flow in dual-porosity media has highlighted the existence of three characteristic macroscopic behaviours. These three behaviours are, namely, a dual-porosity description which includes memory effects, a single-porosity description with which the micro-porosity is simply ignored, and an intermediate behaviour which we refer as behaviour with...

background: high density concrete is extensively used for efficient radiation attenuation in radiotherapy rooms and nuclear reactors. over the past eight years, some efficient galena-based concrete samples for shielding x or gamma rays was produced. the goal of this study was to produce a novel high density concrete against neutron and photon radiations using tourmaline and galena. materials an...

background: the characteristics of secondary neutrons in a high energy radiation therapy room were studied using the mcnpx monte carlo (mc) code. materials and methods: two mc models including a model with full description of head components and a simplified model used in previous studies were implemented for mc simulations. results: results showed 4-53% difference between full and with the sim...

lithofacies identification can provide qualitative information about rocks. it can also explain rock textures which are importantcomponents for hydrocarbon reservoir description sarvak formation is an important reservoir which is being studied in the marun oilfield, in the dezful embayment (zagros basin). this study establishes quantitative relationships between digital well logs data androutin...

[1] In this study, we used porosity to assess the compaction state of the Nankai accretionary wedge sediments and any implications for stress and pore pressure. However, hydrous minerals affect porosity measurements, and accounting for them is essential toward defining the interstitial porosity truly representative of the compaction state. The water content of sediments was measured in core sam...
