A Generalized Chemical Balance Analysis Tool for Combustion and Catalytic Reactions

In this study, the latest version of river boundary modular in MODFLOW, was employed in this watershed for the case study of coupled calculation between river and aquifer. Because of the complex interaction of groundwater and surface water in this area, the coupling model of SFR modular for river diffusive wave model and isochronal cell method for overland flow confluence model and numerical calculation of groundwater is coupled to simulate the runoff process of Weihe river. The model validation was aiming at river flow rate and groundwater field. The results show that 65% of the abstracted shallow groundwater comes from the river water and the reduced amount of river baseflow by the groundwater abstraction is 122 million m3 per year, which is also validated by a water balance analysis of river links. The 50% reduction of shallow groundwater abstraction may lead to a recover of 3 m of the lowest groundwater level. The study provides a sound analysis tool to the integrated water resources and ecology management in the region.

Amount Of Knowledge

To effectively evaluate a gas condensate reservoir performance, the reservoir engineer must have a reasonable amount of knowledge about the reservoir to adequately analyze the reservoir performance and predict future production under various modes of operation. Due to the multiphase flow that exists in the reservoir, characterization of gas condensate reservoirs is often a difficult task with the variation of its overall composition in both space and time during production which complicates well deliverability analysis and the sizing of surface facilities. This study is primarily concern with the evaluation of a gas condensate reservoir performance of Akpet GT 9 Reservoir in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria with material balance analysis tool “MBal” without having to run numerical simulations. The result obtained with MBal on the analysis of Akpet GT 9 reservoir gave 23.934 Bscf of gas initially in place which compares favorably with the volume obtained from volumetric techniques. Results also shows that the most likely aquifer model is the Hurst–Van Everdingen - Dake radial aquifer and the reservoir is supported by a combined drive of water influx and fluid expansion.

Ethnogeriatrics is an evolving specialty in geriatric care that focuses on the health and aging issues in the context of culture for older adults from diverse ethnic backgrounds. This article is an introduction to ethnogeriatrics for healthcare professionals including speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This article focuses on significant factors that contributed to the development of ethnogeriatrics, definitions of some key concepts in ethnogeriatrics, introduces cohort analysis as a teaching and clinical tool, and presents applications for speech-language pathology with recommendations for use of cohort analysis in practice, teaching, and research activities.

Disordered Speech

Spectral moment analysis (SMA) is an acoustic analysis tool that shows promise for enhancing our understanding of normal and disordered speech production. It can augment auditory-perceptual analysis used to investigate differences across speakers and groups and can provide unique information regarding specific aspects of the speech signal. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the utility of SMA as a clinical measure for both clinical speech production assessment and research applications documenting speech outcome measurements. Although acoustic analysis has become more readily available and accessible, clinicians need training with, and exposure to, acoustic analysis methods in order to integrate them into traditional methods used to assess speech production.
