UDP traffic has recently been used extensively in flooding-based distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, most notably by those launched by the Anonymous group. Despite extensive past research in the general area of DDoS detection/prevention, the industry still lacks effective tools to deal with DDoS attacks leveraging UDP traffic. This paper presents our investigation into the proportiona...

We develop a comprehensive and efficient workflow for stochastic assessment of key parameters governing two-phase flow conditions associated with core-scale experiments. rely on original detailed datasets collected Berea sandstone sample. These capture the temporal evolution pressure drop across core three-dimensional maps phase saturations (determined via X-ray CT) in oil- brine-displacement f...

MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand, Magritek Ltd., Wellington, New Zealand Fluids confined in reservoir rocks may differ significantly in their properties depending on temperature or pressure [1,2]. Here we report on a setup allowing to saturate and flood rock cores ...

Prior to the implementation of CO2 injection EOR projects, the screening evaluation of candidate reservoirs will promote the economic benefits of CO2 injection. Currently, a uniform screening method for CO2 miscible flooding does not exist. Based on more than 112 successfully implemented CO2 miscible flooding reservoirs, which was referred in 2010 Worldwide EOR Survey, and CO2 miscible flooding...

In rosette plants, root flooding (waterlogging) triggers rapid upward (hyponastic) leaf movement representing an important architectural stress response that critically determines plant performance in natural habitats. The directional growth is based on localized longitudinal cell expansion at the lower (abaxial) side of the leaf petiole and involves the volatile phytohormone ethylene (ET). We ...

The immiscible displacement of oil by water through a porous and permeable reservoir rock can be described by the use of a fractional flow curves (fw versus Sw). Water flooding project parameters can be obtained from the fractional flow curve. However, developing a representative fractional flow curve for a specific reservoir can be quite challenging when fluid and special core analysis data is...

In order to identify the degree of water flooding in a reservoir and discover any remaining oil-enriched areas, this paper, systematic study on cores obturated coring wells is carried out. With observations testing data cores, based notion sedimentary facies, water-flooding degrees 4–7 sand groups member one Paleogene Sanduo Formation (E2s14–7) Zhenwu area Gaoyou Sag are determined. Overall, re...

The impacts of flooding on socioeconomic outcomes have become a global concern for governments, policymakers, and international organizations alike. situation is particularly challenging in developing nations where poor communities are more vulnerable to the flooding. Consequently, this study investigated impact poverty levels Africa with particular reference Makoko community Lagos State, South...
