This paper addresses the use of the Constrained Direct Iterative Surface Curvature (CDISC) design method in the aircraft design process. A discussion of some of the requirements for practical use of CFD in the design process is followed by a description of different CFD design methods, along with their relative strengths and weaknesses. A detailed description of the CDISC design method highligh...

Antinociceptive action of diclofenac (non-opioid analgesic) was investigated in male and female normotensive (WKY) and genetically established hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive WAG. The drug was administered subcutaneously in doses of 10 mg/kg body weight and per os 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg. Statistically significant differences in pain threshold were reported between male and female rats of inv...

In this study we quantified maternal behavior in genetic epileptic rats with deficiencies in the DA system known to be involved in maternal behavior in order to assess whether these rats have disturbances in maternal care. Wistar Albino Glaxo/Rijswijk (WAG/Rij) rats, a genetic model for generalized absence epilepsy and Wistar rats were compared. Maternal behavior parameters and activity scores ...

Several studies have shown that oil recovery significantly increased by low salinity water flooding (LSWF) in sandstones. However, mechanism of oil recovery improvement is still controversial. CO2 that develops buffer in presence of water is expected as a deterrent factor in LSWF efficiency based on mechanism of IFT reduction due to pH uprising. No bright evidence in literature suppo...

Background: The health benefits associated with moderate wine consumption, as with ethanol and phenolic compounds, include different mechanisms still little understandable. Aim: Evaluate glycemic and weight variations, and the deposit of triglycerides, cholesterol and liver glycogen with red wine consumption. Methods: 60 ApoE knockout mice were divided into three groups of 20: Wine Group (...

It is necessary to do collaborative observe dynamics interactions groups during learning. purpose this study was group student self-efficacy uses descriptive qualitative methods with data triangulation through observations, interviews surveys.

In this study, oil production and retention were observed compared in 72 reservoir simulation cases, after which an economic analysis for various CO2 prices was performed. Reservoir cases comprise different combinations of water alternating gas (WAG) ratios, permeabilities, well distances. These models set at three depths; thus pressure temperature conditions, to see the impact miscibility on s...

More than half of all recoverable oil reserves are found in carbonate rocks. Most these fields highly fractured and develop different zonations during primary secondary recovery stages; therefore, they require a developmental approach conventional reservoirs. Experimental results for water-alternating gas injection [WAG] foam-assisted [FAWAG] under tertiary conditions were used to investigate e...
