The main challenge facing the oil industry is to reduce development costs while accelerating recovery with maximizing reserves. One of the key enabling technologies in this area is intelligent well completions. Intelligent well technology (IWT) is a relatively new technology that has been adopted by many operators in recent years to improve oil and gas recovery. Intelligent well completions emp...

The Water Department will open fire hydrants to flush out sediment that has collected in the water mains during the past year. This flushing program is a standard operating procedure for water departments. Flushing the mains may cause some slight but temporary reduction in water pressure and possible water discoloration. However, your water remains safe for drinking. We suggest you refrain from...

In four experiments we examined the effect of an irrelevant drive on classical conditioning with food and water. In the first experiment the irrelevant drive weakened the conditioned response in extinction. In Experiments 2 and 3, this suppressive effect was found also in acquisition. Furthermore, the presence of an irrelevant drive during nonreinforced presentations of the conditioned stimulus...

Abstract. Two types of DC electrical discharges in atmospheric air (streamer corona and transient spark) were tested for decontamination and decoloration of water contaminated by bacteria and organic dyes. The flowing water passed through the high voltage (HV) needle electrode into the active discharge region. The bacteria were killed most efficiently by transient spark and streamer corona with...
