Goals include the development of models and methods that explain observed material and acoustic properties of different physical types of shallow-ocean mud sediments. Other goals are to assess prior data relating to the acoustic properties of mud and to provide guidance in the development and interpretation of experiments. A related goal is to construct models that will guide inversion techniqu...

optimization of drilling fluid parameters such as mud weight, salt concentration, and temperature is essential to alleviate instability problems during drilling through shale sections. the selection of suitable mud parameters can benefit from analyses that consider significant instability processes involved in shale-drilling–fluid interactions. this paper describes the development of analytical...

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched related donor (MRD) and matched unrelated donors (MUD) produces similar survival for patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. Whether these results can be extended to patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is unknown. Therefore, analysis of post-HCT outcomes for MDS was performed. Outcomes of ...

A batch experiment was conducted to compare the Cu scavenging capacity between two different red mud types: the first one was a highly basic red mud derived from a combined sintering and Bayer process, and the second one was a seawater-neutralized red mud derived from the Bayer process. The first red mud contained substantial amounts of CaCO3, which, in combination with the high OH activity, fa...

Polyanionic cellulose polymer is used as an additive in drilling mud in order to decrease water loss and mudcake- thickness. In this study effect of bulk and nanosize polyanionic cellulose on water loss and mud-cakethickness in mud drilling is investigated. Polyanionic cellulose nanoparticles are made by using of ball milling. Size of nanoparticles is measured by Particle size analyzer. Polyani...

The feasibility of applying a self-adaptive filter to eliminate noise in the downhole mud pressure phase shift keying (PSK) signals is studied. The self-adaptive filter with carrier wave as the filter input signal and mud pressure PSK signal including noise as the filter expected input signal in structure was adopted to process the mud pressure PSK signals with the broadband signal characterist...

Wireless broadband communications is a rapidly growing industry. New enabling technologies such as multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) are shaping the future of wireless systems. However, research efforts in improving MC-CDMA receiver performance have received limited attention and there is a need for innovative receiver designs for next generation MC-CDMA. In this thesis, we ...

Abstract The microstatistic multi-user receiver (MSF-MUD) belongs to non–linear single–stage multi-user receivers' family (NSS–MUD) [1-3]. The output of the MSF-MUD is taken as the sign of the multi-channel nonlinear transformation of the output of a bank of the matched filters (BMF). The non-linear transformation is made by multi-channel conventional microstatistic filter (M-CMF) [2]. The M-CM...

12 13 The removal of fluoride using red mud has been improved by acidifying red mud with 14 hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric acid. This investigation shows that the removal of fluoride 15 using red mud is significantly improved if red mud is initially acidified. The acidification of 16 red mud causes sodalite and cancrinite phases to dissociate, confirmed by the release of 17 sodium and alumi...

Wireless measure while drilling (MWD) transmits data by using mud pulse signal ; the ground decoding system collects the mud pulse signal and then decodes and displays the parameters under the down-hole according to the designed encoding rules and the correct detection and recognition of the ground decoding system towards the received mud pulse signal is one kind of the key technology of MWD. T...
