The Method of Distributed Volumetric Sources for Forecasting the Transient and Pseudo-steady State Productivity of Multiple Transverse Fractures Intersected by a Horizontal Well
(2011-02-22)
This work of well performance modeling is focused on solving problems of transient and pseudo-steady state fluid flow in a rectilinear closed boundaries reservoir. This model has been applied to predict and to optimize gas ...
n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Suppress Mitochondrial Translocation to the Immunological Synapse and Modulate Calcium Signaling in T Cells
(2011-02-22)
T helper (Th) cell activation is necessary for the adaptive immune response. Formation of an immunological synapse (IS) between Th cells and antigen-presenting cells is the first step in Th cell activation. In vitro studies ...
Cartoon Noir: A Comparative Study of Visual Parody
(2011-02-22)
American film parody can be characterized as a distorted, comical and yet affectionate imitation of a given genre or specific work. Film noir as a genre with its distinct visual styles has been an easy target for such ...

(2011-02-22)
Competitive Bidding, Competitive Sealed Proposal, construction management agency, construction management at risk, Design-Build, Design-Build-Bridging, and job order contracting are seven project delivery methods that are ...
Glass as a Building Element – A Sustainable Approach: A Study of an Existing Academic Building
(2011-02-22)
In the aspects of global sustainability, buildings are known to be one of the largest energy consumers. Though sustainable building construction through technological advances is helping in achieving environment friendly ...
Quality of Life Assessment as a Preliminary Study on the Spatial Appraisal and Valuation of Environment and Ecosystems Methodology
(2011-02-22)
The concept of quality of life (QOL) has been addressed for decades. It was not
until recent times when geographical information systems (GIS) have become available
that a locale-specific approach could be enabled. Even ...
Prognostic Control and Load Survivability in Shipboard Power Systems
(2011-02-22)
In shipboard power systems (SPS), it is important to provide continuous power to
vital loads so that their desired missions can be completed successfully. Several
components exist between the primary source and the vital ...
Numerical Investigation of Interaction Between Hydraulic Fractures and Natural Fractures
(2011-02-22)
Hydraulic fracturing of a naturally-fractured reservoir is a challenge for industry,
as fractures can have complex growth patterns when propagating in systems of natural
fractures in the reservoir. Fracture propagation ...
Racism and Religious Bias in Castilian Spanish Language Dictionaries
(2011-02-22)
The present study examines the evolution of the definitions of 31 terms having to do with three prominent religions in Spain: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The definitions are analyzed for racism and religious bias in ...
Comparison of Experimental and Theoretical Forces on a Model Dredge Cutterhead
(2011-02-22)
Dredging is a critical part of maintaining the nation’s ports and harbors that play a major role in international trade. The design of dredge equipment requires knowledge of the forces expected on an average dredge. For a ...
