Leakage mitigation methods are an important part of reservoir engineering and subsurface fluid storage, in particular. In the context multi-phase systems e.g., CO2 a reduction intrinsic permeability is not only parameter to influence potential flow or leakage; parameters, such as relative capillary pressure, key parameters that likely be influenced by pore-space due leakage methods, induced pre...

In this paper, we introduce a new measure of personal ethics in the form of marital cheating to examine the relationship between personal ethics and corporate misconduct. Firms with CEOs and CFOs who use a marital infidelity website are more than twice as likely to engage in two forms of corporate misconduct. The relationship is not explained by a wide range of regional, firm, and executive cha...

A distinction between forms of social identity formation in small interactive groups is investigated. In groups in which a common identity is available or given, norms for individual behavior may be deduced from group properties (deductive identity). In groups in which interpersonal relations are central, a group identity may also be induced from individual group members' contributions, making ...

In this paper, we describe a novel user interface for the visual defin ition of temporal abstractions based on a set of intuitive metaphors, which re present both temporal features and logical relations of abstractions.

I develop simple thermodynamic relations for a system of noninteracting classical particles confined in an isotropic harmonic trap. The volume occupied by the particles in such a trap is not well defined, and the pressure varies with position, indicating that the thermodynamic relations should be expressed in terms of more appropriate variables. I use the effective spring constant of the trap a...
