A comparative analysis of step-drawdown tests was performed in order to estimate the well performance in Slovenian thermal and mineral water wells. Tests were performed in 30 wells, each having its own maximum production rate determined in the concession decrees. The main focus of well performance analysis, using graphical analysis of the Jacob approximate equation, was to estimate the adequacy of the wells production rate as well as to identify possible changes in the technical status of the wells over years. 5 of total 30 wells were not included in the analysis due to technical issues during test performance. Well performance analysis includes the calculation of nonlinear well losses related to turbulent flow and linear head loss (aquifer and well) assumed to be related to laminar flow. Results indicate that the ratios between nonlinear well losses and linear head (well and aquifer) losses, in this paper referred as laminar losses, are from 6.9 % to 97.4 %. Laminar losses parameter suggests, all investigated wells were classified with either good (11 wells), medium (7 wells) or poor (7 wells) performance. The addressed analysis represents a very important basis for further thermal and mineral water extraction, e.g. optimizing the maximum allowed production rate as granted in concession decrees and diagnose potential changes in the technical status of each well

Account is the key of every systems in order to access the system. Nowadays, every people has some different account systems. All of these account must be remembered, so that they could access the system. Facing this issue, the management account devices which is centralized by using Single Sign On (SSO) protocol is needed. This research was using sequential linear system development models. The sequential linear system development through four stages, analysis, design, coding and testing. Some tests were also performed, such as blackbox test, performance test, efficiency, portability, usability, Eigenface alghorithm test, and multi login test. The result of the research were the stages of system development with blackbox test of system functions were running well. Performance test shown the excellence of system performance. Efficiency test has a result above-average GTMetrix. Portability aspect test shown that system could being accessed in three browser. Usability test shown that the process of face verification is going well without any mistakes. Accessing the system by login through some different system implied that multi login system test is successful. The conclusion could be implied from this research is SSO login system could simplify the management account for administrators and users. SSO login system needs to be applied by using face authentication recognition. Some advices for further system development are the  additional function of encryption and the establishment of dedicated server for Face Recognition

This article discusses the problem about the method for the optimization of cutting parameters. A newly developed computational method which is different from the former was used for the optimization of cutting parameters. This method has its advantages of the controllability of the precision and higher speed when the precision requirement of the system is not very high. It can optimize cutting parameters toward the objectives of maximum production rate, minimum production cost and maximum profit rate.

RESUMO A Região Metropolitana de Natal, no estado do Rio Grande do Norte, é detentora de grandes reservas de águas subterrâneas pertencentes ao aqüífero Dunas/Barreiras. Essas águas são utilizadas pela população para seu abastecimento e consumo industrial. Além disso, essas reservas possuem características de águas minerais, localizando-se principalmente nos municípios de Parnamirim e Macaíba na região sul e no município de Extremoz, na parte norte. Em contrapartida, o crescimento urbano acelerado da Grande Natal, associado com a falta de esgotamento sanitário e drenagem adequada, resultaram no aporte de carga contaminante originária, principalmente, de fossas e sumidouros domésticos em direção às águas do aqüífero. Este artigo tem como finalidade avaliar as concentrações de nitrato nas fontes de águas minerais, tomando-se como base a proximidade de poços contaminados por esses teores. Para isso, basicamente, se comparou dados que representavam concentrações de NO3- em águas minerais, com teores de nitrato pertencentes à poços de abastecimento público ou particulares da região circunvizinha a essas águas, ambos obtidos através dos projetos de Iniciação Científica desenvolvidos no CEFET-RN. As atividades que fizeram parte da realização do trabalho foram constituídas pela localização da área de estudo, seleção dos poços a serem analisados, análises laboratoriais do íon nitrato, tabulação e tratamento dos dados obtidos, além das considerações a respeito da qualidade das águas subterrâneas. Através dos resultados obtidos foi possível demonstrar a que níveis de concentração de nitrato estão os poços produtores de água mineral, destacando-se dois, dos dez selecionados, que apresentaram valores acima de 10 mg/L. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: água mineral, águas subterrâneas, aqüífero Dunas/Barreiras, contaminação, nitrato e Região Metropolitana de Natal. EVALUATION OF NITRATE CONCENTRATIONS ON MINERAL WATERS PRODUCED IN THE METROPOLITAN REGION OF NATAL ABSTRACT The Metropolitan Region of Natal, located in the state of the Rio Grande do Norte, is detainer of great reserves of groundwater from Dunas/Barreiras aquifer. These waters are used by the population for your supplying and industrial consumption; moreover these reserves possess mineral water characteristics, situated mainly in the cities of Parnamirim and Macaíba, in the south region, and in the city of Extremoz, in the part north. However, the fast urban growth of Natal, associate with the lack of sanitation and drainage, has caused the increase of contamination, mainly by the infiltration of septic tanks effluents in soil. The presented work has as main purpose the evaluation of nitrate concentrations in the mineral water sources, taking in consideration the proximity of wells already contaminated by nitrate. For this, data of nitrate concentrations in mineral waters were compared with those from wells of the public or private supplying from the surrounding region. The work comprised the localization of the study area, selection wells to collect samples, laboratory analyses of the ion nitrate, treatment of data, and the global evaluation of underground waters quality. Through the results was possible to demonstrate the levels of nitrate concentration on mineral water wells, including two with concentration higher than 10 mg/L. KEY WORDS: mineral water, underground waters, aquifer Dunas/Barreiras, contamination, nitrate and Metropolitan Region of Natal.

Summary Hydrocarbon-reservoir-performance forecasting is an integral component of the resource-development chain and is typically accomplished using reservoir modeling, by means of either numerical or analytical methods. Although complex numerical models provide rigorous means of capturing and predicting reservoir behavior, reservoir engineers also rely on simpler analytical models to analyze well performance and estimate reserves when uncertainties exist. Arps (1945) empirically demonstrated that certain reservoirs might decline according to simple, exponential, hyperbolic, or harmonic relationships; such behavior, however, does not extend to more-complex scenarios, such as multiphase-reservoir depletion. Because of this limitation, an important research area for many years has been to transform the equations governing flow through porous media in such a way as to express complex reservoir performance in terms of closed analytical forms. In this work, we demonstrate that rigorous compositional analysis can be coupled with analytical well-performance estimations for reservoirs with complex fluid systems, and that the molar decline of individual hydrocarbon-fluid fractions can be expressed in terms of rescaled exponential equations for well-performance analysis. This work demonstrates that, by the introduction of a new partial-pseudopressure variable, it is possible to predict the decline behavior of individual fluid constituents of a variety of gas/condensate-reservoir systems characterized by widely varying richness and complex multiphase-flow scenarios. A new four-region-flow model is proposed and validated to implement gas/condensate-deliverability calculations at late times during variable-bottomhole-pressure (BHP) production. Five case studies are presented to support each of the model capabilities stated previously and to validate the use of liquid-analog rescaled exponentials for the prediction of production-decline behavior for each of the hydrocarbon species.
