in this paper, based on error correction model by using panel data, an empirical analysis of demand for international reserves for 16 islamic countries is investigated. besides addressing conventional issues, the model explicitly incorporates the impact of expected export revenues and the impact of the exchange rate system on reserve demand. the results reveal that, short run money market diseq...

a semi-micromechanical multilaminate model is introduced here to predict the mechanical behavior of soils. this model is like a bridge between micro and macro scale upon the satisfaction of minimum potential energy level during any applied stress/strain increments. the concept of this model is based on a certain number of sampling planes which constitute the elastic-plastic behavior of the soil...

Conventional oil reserves in Colombia are depleted. The country´s reserve-to-production ratio is estimated as 5 years. Therefore, the search for new resources and their conversion into proven essential. In this case, production of unconventional reservoirs an option Colombia. This work evaluates technical economic feasibility a Tight Oil source rock reservoir, considering parameters such fractu...

Nature reserves are widely considered as one available strategy for protecting biodiversity, which is threatened by habitat fragmentation, and wildlife extinction. The Chinese government has established a goal of protecting 15% of its land area by 2015. We quantitated the characteristics and distribution of nature reserves in mainland China and evaluated the expansion process for national natur...

This paper seeks to add to our understanding of how the creative process might affect patent value by investigating the possible effect of a further, as yet unexplored characteristic, “leisure time invention,” where the main insight leading to the invention emerges when the inventor is not engaged in paid work. Leisure time inventions, if mentioned in the literature at all, are disparaged as be...

The deposits of the Bazhenov formation are a unique reservoir unconventional oil reserves in Western Siberia. They contain both solid organic matter (kerogen) and liquid light oil. successful development these hydrocarbons is largely determined by adequacy void space models. aim study to identify types sediments distribution patterns across section researched wells. was studied electron optical...

Our own research data as well numerous publications of recent years on modern problems oil potential in the West Siberian and gas province were used this study. Based Palyanovskaya, Talinskaya adjacent areas Krasnoleninsky arch, issues deposits structure confinement to certain regional levels section, unconventional reservoirs formation zones tectonic deformations hydrothermal-metasomatic chang...

Tight sand is an important unconventional reservoir. Aiming at the problem of large unused reserves and poor development effect Chang 63 reservoir, this paper researches reunderstanding reservoir evaluating reserves. Employing rock slice scanning electron microscope (SEM), experiment low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), water-oil relative permeability experiment, space, movable fluid, oi...

In the present study we investigate hemispheric processing of conventional and unconventional visual stimuli in the context of visual and verbal creative ability. In Experiment 1, we studied two unconventional visual recognition tasks-Mooney face and objects' silhouette recognition-and found a significant relationship between measures of verbal creativity and unconventional face recognition. In...
