Organic geochemical evaluation of the Madbi Formation as the main source rock of the Al-Jawf Basin, NE Central Yemen was the main objective of this study. The organic geochemical methods used in the study include: rock-eval pyrolysis, total organic carbon, and optical measurements as the vitrinite reflectance and thermal alteration index. In this study, 67 well core and side-well core samples o...

AB STRACT: The pur pose of this study was to eval u ate, in vi tro, the prop er ties (wear and rough ness) of glass ionomer ce ments that could in flu ence their in di ca tion as pit and fis sure seal ants. The uti lized ma te ri als were Fuji Plus, Ketac-Mo lar and Vitremer (in two dif fer ent pro por tions: 1:1 and 1⁄4:1). The resin-based seal ant Delton was used as con trol. By means of an e...

Biomass was subjected to conventional and microwave pyrolysis, to determine the influence of each process on the yield and composition of the derived gas, oil and char products. The influence of pyrolysis temperature and heating rate for the conventional pyrolysis and the microwave power was investigated. Two major stages of gas release were observed during biomass pyrolysis, the first being CO...

In this study, we propose a predictive model for maceral discrimination based on Raman spectroscopic analyses of dispersed organic matter. micro-spectroscopy was coupled with optical and Rock-Eval pyrolysis set seven samples collected from Mesozoic Cenozoic successions the Outer sector Carpathian fold thrust belt. Organic petrography evidence type II/III kerogen complex organofacies composed by...

â â â  â  â â â â â â â  abstract â  the abtalkh formation in the kopeh-dagh basin in northeastern iran with an age of late cretaceous (turonian – santonian) is selected to evaluate resolution of magnetic susceptibility for assessing sea level fluctuations. thirty-nine shale samples were collected and studied for magnetic susceptibility and palynology. assuming the average ms magnitude as the...

We propose a new class of rigorous methods for derivative-free optimization with the aim delivering efficient and robust numerical performance functions all types, from smooth to non-smooth, under different noise regimes. To this end, we have developed methods, called Full-Low Evaluation organized around two main types iterations. The first iteration type (called Full-Eval) is expensive in func...

Most dynamic languages allow users to turn text into code using various functions, often named <tt>eval</tt>, with language-dependent semantics. The widespread use of these reflective functions hinders static analysis and prevents compilers from performing optimizations. This paper aims provide a better sense why programmers <tt>eval</tt>. Understanding <tt>eval&lt...
