Biyad Formation is mainly made up of clastic sediments that contain substantial amount of proven crude oil in the eastern Yemen. The Byiad clastic is divided into Upper and Lower Biyad clastic units. Several vertical wells have been drilled and penetrated this formation. This study is concerned with the petrophysical evaluation by means of well log data of the Lower Cretaceous rocks at the East...

The exponentiation function in a finite field of order p (a prime number) is believed to be a one-way function. It is well known that O(log log p) bits are simultaneously hard for this function. We consider a special case of this problem, the discrete logarithm with short exponents, which is also believed to be hard to compute. Under this intractibility assumption we show that discrete exponent...

Pseudo-deterministic algorithms are randomized search algorithms which output unique solutions (i.e., with high probability they output the same solution on each execution). We present a pseudo-deterministic algorithm that, given a prime p, finds a primitive root modulo p in time exp(O( p log p log log p)). This improves upon the previous best known provable deterministic (and pseudo-determinis...

Trevisan has shown that constructions of pseudo-random generators from hard functions (the Nisan-Wigderson approach) also produce extractors. We show that constructions of pseudo-random generators from one-way permutations (the Blum-Micali-Yao approach) can be used for building extractors as well. Using this new technique we build extractors that do not use designs and polynomial-based error-co...

The radius of investigation (ROI) is an essential parameter in many reservoir engineering applications. Inconsistencies and ambiguities still exist between different ROI evaluation methods, especially for the dual-porosity (DP) system representing naturally fractured reservoirs. This paper revisited impact inter-porosity flow DP presented equations early late periods based on Laplace space solu...

— Suppose that G is a locally compact abelian group with a Haar measure μ. The δ-ball Bδ of a continuous translation invariant pseudo-metric is called d-dimensional if μ(B2δ′ ) 6 2μ(Bδ′ ) for all δ′ ⊂ (0, δ]. We show that if A is a compact symmetric neighborhood of the identity with μ(nA) 6 ndμ(A) for all n > d log d, then A is contained in an O(d log d)-dimensional ball, B, of positive radius ...

Hollow manganese phosphonate microspheres of an inorganic-organic hybrid with hierarchically porous shells were prepared through a template-free hydrothermal method using ethylene diamine tetra(methylene phosphonic acid) as the coupling molecule. The hollow structures with hierarchical porosity were confirmed by SEM, TEM and N2 sorption. FT-IR, XPS and TG-DSC measurements revealed that the orga...

We show that O(n) exchanging flips suffice to transform any edge-labelled pointed pseudo-triangulation into any other with the same set of labels. By using insertion, deletion and exchanging flips, we can transform any edge-labelled pseudo-triangulation into any other with O(n log c+h log h) flips, where c is the number of convex layers and h is the number of points on the convex hull.
