Abstract Radial Jet Drilling (RJD) is a stimulation technique to increase well’s performance through creation of multiple laterals up 100 m long. The has been used in the petroleum industry for several years and recently also geothermal reservoirs. Interpretation well tests with may become problematic if effect not correctly modelled. In this work it investigated what impact RJD on pressure tra...

Case Description: After orthodontic diagnosis, treatment undertaken was the surgical removal of the mesiodens and the use of a palatal crib therapy in order to discontinue the thumb habit. Then, orthodontic brackets were bonded on maxillary central incisors and the diastema closed allowing the spontaneous irruption of the maxillary laterals incisors. When acceptable levels of overbite and overj...

Kaytetye is an Australian language with a unique combination of phonemic pre-stopping in its nasals series, as well as non-contrastive pre-stopping in its lateral series. In this paper, we describe two phonetic correlates of pre-stopping in Kaytetye, segmental duration and extent of tongue movement. With nasals, pre-stopped segments are longer and have greater tongue movement than their plain c...

In the absence of suitable specialized models to simulate soil wetting patterns in subsurface drip irrigation systems considering hydraulic conditions along laterals, a new model was developed and named “comprehensive model” this study. This couples lateral characteristics with properties utilizes Hydrus-3D software as complementary section front beneath lateral. To evaluate model, three 16 mm ...

The dilated odontoma is an infrequent developmental alteration that appears in any area of the dental arches and can affect deciduous, permanent and supernumerary tooth. Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly resulting from invagination of a portion of crown forming within the enamel organ during odontogenesis. The most extreme form of dens invaginatus is known as dilated odontoma. The aim...

The magnitude of the tongue tip gesture in laterals in /VlC/ sequences produced by 8 American English speakers was measured with ultrasound imaging. Gestural reduction was found for prelabial and pre-velar contexts relative to alveolar contexts. Also, for some speakers, reduction was greater for high-frequency than for low-frequency words. These patterns are tentatively interpreted as contribut...

A system dynamics model was developed to estimate the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with conveyance of water from the water source to the distribution laterals of the Las Vegas Valley. In addition, the impact of several water management policies, including water conservation, reuse, and population growth rate change was evaluated. The results show that, at present, nearly 0.53 milli...

BACKGROUND Hump reduction in aesthetic rhinoplasty destabilizes the middle vault. Secondary maneuvers are necessary to avoid the long-term functional and aesthetic sequelae of middle vault collapse. We describe a new technique of reinserting the resected hump that combines (a) placement of the modified hump between the upper laterals and (b) bridging sutures between the upper laterals. METHOD...
