avo as a known methodology is used to identify fluid type and reservoir lithology in subsurface exploration. method discussed in this paper, consists of three stages, including: direct modeling, inverse modeling and cross plot interpretation. by direct modeling we can clarify lithology or fluid dependent attributes. analysis performed using both p-p and p-sv attributes. inverse modeling deals w...

in this work the performance of a wavelength division multiple access (wdma) system with direct detection receiver is investigated. for this purpose, the probability of error in a wdma network with ook modulation considering crosstalk, isi, photo detector noise and thermal noise is calculated and the effect of each on system performance is investigated. the system performance in presence of pin...

Molecular dosimetry for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-DNA adducts, genetic predisposition to cancer, and their interrelationships are under study in numerous laboratories. This report describes a modified 32P-postlabeling assay for the detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-DNA adducts that uses immunoaffinity chromatography to enhance chemical specificity and quantitative reliability. ...

Coastal salt marshes are highly sensitive wetland ecosystems that can sustain long-term impacts from anthropogenic events such as oil spills. In this study, we examined the microbial communities of a Gulf of Mexico coastal salt marsh during and after the influx of petroleum hydrocarbons following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Total hydrocarbon concentrations in salt marsh sediments were high...

Water detection in hydrocarbon emulsions represents a serious challenge in petroleum production industry. In this paper, a systematic and an applicable method of water detection in hydrocarbon emulsion is achieved using thermoacoustic effect. The study focused on sensing the presence of water in kerosene using the established correlation between the content of hydrocarbon emulsion and the chara...

The purpose of this study is the detection of lateral and vertical gradients of relative concentrations of compounds presented in oil. In addition, the detection allows us to assess potential drainage zones in a reservoir during the reservoir production by steam injection. In this paper, a new method for monitoring of steam chamber development in a 2D model was created and tested. The methodol...
