A common assumption for annular flow used in the petroleum industry is that the inner pipe
is concentrically located inside the flow geometry; however, this is rarely the case, even in
slightly deviated wells. Considering the increasing number of directional and horizontal …

Feasibility of drilling with pure supercritical carbon dioxide to serve the needs of deep
underbalanced drilling operations has been analyzed. A case study involving
underbalanced drilling to access a depleted gas reservoir illustrates the need for such a …

The process of formation permeability damage due to solids movement and capture was
quantitatively modeled by using principles of deep bed filtration and chemical reactions
kinetics. The developed theory describes the pore blocking mechanism caused by particles …

Pulmonary injury resulting from inhalation of chemical and particulate products of
incomplete combustion is one of the principal determinants of mortality following burn injury.
In this study, the histopathology of inhalation injury was examined in sheep. Mild, moderate …

A mechanistic model of an underbalanced-drilling (UBD) operation using carbon dioxide
(CO 2) is developed in this study. The use of carbon dioxide in UBD operations eliminates
some of the operational difficulties inherent with gaseous drilling fluids, such as generating …

The present study investigated antioxidant status in lavage fluid, lung, liver, heart and kidney
in a rat model to simulate an inhalation injury as might be encountered by firefighters and
burn victims. Anesthetized rats received either a 20% total body surface area (TBSA) full …

Few studies have evaluated interventions to improve the job‐related social skills of adults
with autism spectrum disorder. In this study, we examined the efficacy of a treatment
package for teaching several social skills that are critical to job success, such as responding …

As COVID-19 has become a global pandemic, health researchers and practitioners have
focused attention on identifying the factors that may help to shape health-protective
behaviors, protecting individual health and well-being, and helping to mitigate the spread of …

Purpose This paper aims to investigate how the reparative efforts of extensive apologies,
compensation and structural change affect trust after a violation has occurred. Specifically,
this paper presents a cognitive process model positing that voluntary reparative efforts will …

Pulmonary insufficiency has become a major problem in the care of patients with extensive
cutaneous burns and other forms of trauma. Although a variety of pathological changes have
been described in the lungs of such patients, probably the most common underlying lesion …
