finding a representative fluid in a hydrocarbon reservoir is crucial for integrated reservoir management. in this study, a systematic approach for screening and selecting consistent fluid samples in a reservoir was developed. the model integrated quality control (qc) of well conditioning before sampling, qc of pvt data, thermodynamic modeling and compositional gradient within a reservoir. well ...

Professional paper Previous research and commentary has underscored the importance of providing support for autonomy and promote physical and psychological well-being amongst exercisers and athletes. Autonomy support concerns the degree to which actions perceived to emanate from significant others which are supportive of individual choices, recognize the difficulty of behavioral change, and eng...

introduction: allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (hsct) is the only therapeutic modality capable of correcting the hematologic manifestations of fanconi anemia (fa). the development  of well  tolerated,  immunosuppressive  conditioning  regimens  for fa patients  undergoing hsct has proven to be a rather challenging task for hematologists. methods: we analyzed the outcome of 30 fa pa...

This report provides a brief overview of aspects of training nonhuman primates who have been, and continue to be, used in this laboratory. The research context involves applied behavioral studies in which animals are trained to perform complex operant behavioral sequences, often in their homecage environment. In such studies, animals have freedom to choose whether to engage in appetitively rein...

Awake, behaving rhesus monkeys are widely used in neurophysiological research. Neural signals are typically measured from monkeys trained with operant conditioning techniques to perform a variety of behavioral tasks in exchange for rewards. Over the past years, monkeys' psychological well-being during experimentation has become an increasingly important concern. We suggest objective criteria to...
