There is a correlation between mobility ratio and oil recovery by water displacement in homogeneous and heterogeneous reservoirs. Because of this correlation, it is essential to develop a mobility control process which ...

This paper summarizes an experimental program for developing a pilot procedure to check and predict field densities of compacted soils using static cone penetration tests. Three sandy soils were tested. The testing program ...

Dispersion behavior of the parameters of microstrip lines printed on ferrite substrate is presented. The characteristic impedance for lines on magnetized ferrite substrates are obtained for partially magnetized substrates ...

Twenty high-strength plain concrete deep beams were tested under torsion. The variables were concrete strength and depth/width (aspect) ratio. Concrete strengths of 51.01, 58.53, 76.60 and 83.66 MPa and depth/width (aspect) ...

This paper presents a comparative study of some of the best known and widely used arch profiles, in an endeavour to investigating their structural performance and to determining optimum arch form and depth. Arch profiles ...

An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model based on the back-propagation technique is trained with a number of variables from experimentally established relative permeability curves. The reservoir core input data covers an ...

Rutting has been a problem in Qatar's highway pavements since it began designing asphalt mixtures with the Marshall Method in the early 1990's. This paper describes specifications and rules-of-thumb which have been ...

This paper describes a microstrip optically controlled matching technique between microwave active devices with low impedance (less than 10 ohms) and a conventional 50 or 70 ohm communication system in the upper microwave ...

This paper describes a concurrent method to speed up the convergence of the QIOM (Cubic Interpolation Optimization Method) to obtain the global minima for any nonlinear continuous function. The QIOM is a naturally slow, ...

Fixed-point iteration is an efficient technique for manual and machine calculation of normal depth. The method is applied to the solution of Manning's equation for two basic uniform flow problems in trapezoidal and circular ...
