Unconventional gas reservoirs have shown the potential to be the next world primary energy resource and have received a lot of attention in the past few years in the world. Even with the significant progress that has been made world-wide towards commercial development of natural gas from these unconventional resources, understandings or modeling tools of gas flow in these extremely low-permeabi...

Abstract The aim of this study is to characterize the stress–strain behavior three construction steels (SM490, SM570, and F18B) through both experimental numerical investigations. material performance was evaluated by conducting tests on round bar specimens subjected monotonic, fatigue, incremental step fully reversed loading conditions. campaign conducted provide valuable information mechanica...

A detailed multi-scale investigation of the geotechnical, chemical and mineralogical properties was conducted on contaminated sediment samples collected within Mar Piccolo, a marine basin in south Italy. The is located close to one most important industrial sites Europe, which has also been declared ‘at high risk environmental crisis’ prioritised for remediation activities. multidisciplinary ca...

The paper evaluates the distributional effects of conventional and unconventional monetary policies for the USA. The distributional effects are evaluated for the overall impact on the income distribution, using Gini index. The paper also assesses the effects of conventional and unconventional monetary policies on the different parts of income distribution, employing corresponding percentile rat...

statement of problem: low- fusing compound (type 1) is used for border molding and impressions. flow and reproducibility of surface detail are two important characteristics of these materials. there are no valid data available comparing domestic and imported brands. purpose: the purpose of this study was to evaluate these two properties of four different products including kerr (kerr manufactur...

Unconventional Superconductors Many novel superconductors show properties different from standard superconductors (overview); Aim of this lecture: • discuss structure of Cooper pairs from a symmetry point of view key symmetries: time reversal and inversion symmetry • learn the techniques of the phenomenological approach: generalized Ginzburg-Landau theories broken symmetries and order parameter...

Unconventional fossil hydrocarbons fall into two categories: resource plays and conversion-sourced hydrocarbons. Resource plays involve the production of accumulations of solid, liquid or gaseous hydro-carbons that have been generated over geological time from organic matter in source rocks. The character of these hydrocarbons may have been modified subsequently, especially in the case of solid...
