The paper presents the methodology for the combined use of GIS-based multi-criteria analysis and simulation-optimisation modelling for management of the groundwater resources of the Dore river basin in France. The study identifies the suitable location and maximum discharge for the new groundwater pumping wells. The multi-criteria analysis (MCA), with the help of GIS-based geospatial analysis, ...

background: the aim of the study is to determine the correlation between clinical and echocardiographic fi ndings and risk factors of patients with suspected acute pulmonary thromboembolism (pte) who underwent computed tomography pulmonary angiography (ctpa). materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 310 hospitalized patients aged >18 years with high clinical suspicion of pte referr...

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the utilization and diagnostic yields of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) using the Revised Geneva score and Wells’ criteria, in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE).    Methods: One hundred and twelve adult patients underwent CTPA for suspected PE were participated in this study. The outcome was positive or neg...

The selection of appropriate wells for hydraulic fracturing is one of the most important decisions faced by oilfield engineers. It has significant implications for the future development of an oilfield in terms of its productivity and economics. In this study, we developed a fuzzy model for well selection that combines the major objective criteria with the subjective judgments of decision maker...

Abstract The first phase of any hydraulic fracturing (HF) operation is to select carefully the best layers and wells based on a specific set criteria. Selecting HF candidates plays pivotal role in achieving desired objective such that attempt execute this treatment fails without performing comprehensive studies regard. In paper, data from 3 fractured carbonate reservoir one biggest oilfields Ir...

National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program collected or compiled data on ground water from 1926 private wells in rural areas across the United States from 1986 to 1999. These private wells, also called domestic wells, are owned and operated by the homeowners and provide water for household uses, including drinking, food preparation, watering lawns and gardens, bathing, and washing clothe...

We numerically study structural transitions inside shallow nanoscale wells with square cross-section, filled with nematic liquid crystal material. We model the wells within the Landau-de Gennes theory for nematic liquid crystals, in the absence of any external fields. We obtain two qualitatively different states: (i) the DSD state for relatively large wells with lateral dimension greater than a...

BACKGROUND Lower limb cellulitis and deep vein thrombosis share clinical features and investigation of patients with cellulitis for concurrent DVT is common. The prevalence of DVT in this group is uncertain. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with lower limb cellulitis and to investigate the utility of applying the Wells algorithm to this pati...
