Summary A model-assisted analysis is presented of pressure-pulse-transmission data obtained under different pressure conditions with core plugs of shale-gas formations. Applications and validations for steady-state and transient-state laboratory tests are provided. Best-estimate values of the intrinsic permeability and tortuosity at a reference condition and the Langmuir volume and pressure are determined by matching the solution of a modified Darcy model to several pressure-pulse-transmission flow tests with core samples simultaneously. The data-interpretation model considers the prevailing characteristics of the apparent permeability under the various flow regimes involving gas flow through extremely low-permeability core samples. Further, the present fully pressure-dependent shale-and gas-property formulation allows for model-assisted extrapolation from the reference conditions to field conditions once the unknown model parameters have been estimated under laboratory conditions. The improved method provides a better match to the measurements of the pressure tests than previous models, which assume only Darcy flow.

In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for controlling the group velocity of transmitted and reflected pulse from defect medium doped with four-level InGaN/GaN quantum dot nanostructure. Quantum dot nanostructure is designed numerically by Schrödinger and Poisson equations which solve self consistently. By size control of quantum dot and external voltage, one can design a four-level quantum dot with appropriate energy levels which can be suitable for controlling the group velocity of pulse transmission and reflection from defect slab with terahertz signal field. It is found that in the presence and absence of terahertz signal field the behaviors of transmission and reflection pulses are completely different. Moreover, it is shown that for strong terahertz signal field, by changing the thickness of the slab, simultaneous peak and dip for transmission and reflection pulse are obtained.

Similar pressure and flow waveforms recorded in mammalian aortas suggest that pulse transmission characteristics may also be similar. We examined the validity of this hypothesis, utilizing allometric equations of pertinent hemodynamic parameters and a model of the arterial system. Results show that both the reflection coefficient and the propagation constant times the aortic length are essentially invariant across the mammalian species investigated. Resolved forward and reflected propagating waves are also similar. These findings suggest that the arterial system in these mammals indeed functions in a similar manner.
