Net pay thickness is defined as that portion of a reservoir which contains economically producible hydrocarbons with today’s technology, prices, and costs. This thickness is a key parameter of the volumetric calculation of in-place hydrocarbons, well test interpretation, and reservoir characterization. A reservoir interval is considered as net pay when it contains hydrocarbons that can flow at ...

BACKGROUND Proper suturing technique is needed to ensure good outcome in extensor tendon surgery. Different techniques have been reported for the repair of extensor tendon injuries at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ). These reports were in vitro studies on cadaver models. Repair techniques must be clinically tested, to determine results. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this in vivo...

results in the first series, cellularity and blood levels were significantly lower in capillary-fnb compared with cfnb (p < 0.001 and p = 0.011, respectively). there was no significant difference between cfnb and vacfnb in cellularity and blood (p = 0.15 and p = 0.1, respectively). in the second series, cellularity was significantly higher in cfnb compared with vacfnb (p < 0.001) with no signif...

this paper proposes a two-step approach for characterizing the reservoir properties of the world’s largest non-associated gas reservoir. this approach integrates geological and petrophysical data and compares them with the field performance analysis to achieve a practical electrofacies clustering. porosity and permeability prediction is done on the basis of linear functions, succeeding the elec...

Recent biomedical hydrogels applications require the development of nanostructures with controlled diameter and adjustable mechanical properties. Here we present a technique for the production of flexible nanofilaments to be used as drug carriers or in microfluidics, with deformability and elasticity resembling those of long DNA chains. The fabrication method is based on the core-shell electros...

The aspect oriented modeling (AOM) approach provides mechanisms for separating crosscutting functionality from core functionality in design models. Crosscutting functionality is described by aspect models and the core application functionality is described by a primary model. The integrated system view is obtained by composing the primary and aspect models. In this paper, we present a model com...
