Rheological properties of different heavy oils and their emulsions were measured using RheolabQC rheometer, and their phase inversion were observed using XP-300C microscopic image system. The viscosity of water in oil emulsions constantly increases as the content of bound water rises, and suddenly decreases while it increases to a certain extent, which is corresponding to its phase inversion po...

Clostridium difficile is a nosocomial pathogen that can cause severe gastrointestinal infections. C. difficile encodes a family of cell wall proteins, some of which are implicated in pathogenesis. Here we have characterized CwpV, the largest member of this family. CwpV is surface expressed and posttranslationally processed in a manner analogous to the major S-layer protein SlpA. Expression of c...

In this work, a new mathematical model of thermoelasticity theory has been considered in the context of a new consideration of heat conduction with fractional order theory. A functionally graded isotropic unbounded medium is considered subjected to a periodically varying heat source in the context of space-time non-local generalization of three-phase-lag thermoelastic model and Green-Naghdi mod...

In characterizing reservoirs, we are often interested in retrieving detailed elastic parameters for only a very limited part of the subsurface. One way of doing so involves studying the seismic reflection response within the region of interest. To that end, we introduce a local solver that uses an acoustic solver to propagate the wavefield to a subdomain on which we use a local elastic solver. ...

A quasi real-time inversion strategy is presented for groove characterization of a conductive non-ferromagnetic tube structure by exploiting eddy current testing (ECT) signal. Inversion problem has been formulated by non-iterative Learning-by-Examples (LBE) strategy. Within the framework of LBE, an efficient training strategy has been adopted with the combination of feature extraction and a cus...

The permutation-inversion symmetry group of fullerite C70 in the intermediate phase (at temperatures 270 K < T < 340 K) and the permutation-inversion site symmetry group of a rotating molecule C70 in a nonrigid crystal are generated. Their irreducible representations compatible with the principle of symmetry of wave functions with respect to the permutations of identical nuclei are found. Group...

A series of benchmarks based on the physical situation “phase inversion” between two immiscible liquids is presented. These aim at progressing towards direct numerical simulation two-phase flows. Several CFD codes developed in French laboratories and using either Volume-of-Fluid or Level-Set interface tracking methods are used to provide solutions benchmarks, convergence studies code comparison...
