The DIC is a contactless technique widely used to get full-field displacement and strain maps in experiments, through numerical reconstruction of the kinematic field shown by the surface points of the samples. For an optimal use of such a technique, the surface of the specimens needs to be ...
Some might argue that this attempt to link, via evolution, "microbial quorum sensing" to Homo sapiens' ability to use a culturally-dependent formation of scientific and technological knowledge to shape a Biology 2016, 5, 29 3 of 29 new form of "global consciousness" is but a delusional, ...
An alternative to the standard drawdown/buildup test is Harmonic Pulse Testing (HPT) because it can provide well performance and reservoir behavior monitoring without having to interrupt field production, which is appealing from an economic standpoint. Recorded pressure analysis is performed in the ...
