We reviewed the use of advanced display technologies for monitoring in anesthesia. Researchers are investigating displays that integrate information and that, in some cases, also deliver the results continuously to the anesthesiologist. Integrated visual displays reveal higher-order properties of patient state and speed in responding to events, but their benefits under an intensely timeshared l...

The objectives of in situ experiments studying ocean acidifi cation vary widely, with most recent studies centering on the effects of changing carbonate chemistry on the biology and ecology of organisms and ecosystems. The advantages of in situ observations are that they offer a completely independent approach to laboratory experiments, one that is based on looking directly at how organisms and...

In situ monitoring has been increasingly accepted during the past five years. This approach has been applied to measurement of gas tensions such as p2 and Pco2 to pH and ions, to the assessment of jaundice by measurement of bilirubin, and to analysis for 14C02 after administrationof labeledantipynne and aminopyrine, for evaluation of hepatic damage. Various techniques have been developed for in...

We develop an experimental technique that uses computed tomography (CT) scanning to provide high-resolution measurements of aperture distribution and in situ saturation along with capillary pressure and relative permeability for the same roughwalled fracture. We apply this technique to an induced fracture in a cylindrical basalt core undergoing water drainage. We find that the sum of the water ...

Nanocomposites containing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and surface functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized. The dispersion of MWNTs in PMMA was characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).The synthesized nanocomposites were successfully foamed using a simple method based on the in-situ generation of supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2</sub...

Advanced and Integrated Petrophysical Characterization for CO2 Storage: Application to the Ketzin Site — Reservoir simulations and monitoring of CO2 storage require specific petrophysical data. We show a workflow that can be applied to saline aquifers and caprocks in order to provide the minimum data set for realistic estimations of storage potential and perform pertinent simulations of CO2 inj...
