Formation Damage in Oil and Gas Reservoirs: Nanotechnology Applications for Its Inhibition/Remediation
The production of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons can be affected by several sources of damage under subsurface conditions that can hinder well productivity. Damage may occur during different stages of oil and/or gas well formation such as production, drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and workover operations.For years, formation damage was considered negligible or was not treated adequately, causing reductions in the production rate up to the loss of both producer and injector wells. Nowadays, formation damage is an essential parameter to be considered in the wells' development as its prevention and/or engineered remediation may lead to cost reduction and improvement of production...
Asphaltene Deposition Control by Chemical Inhibitors
Asphaltene Deposition Control by Chemical Inhibitors: Theoretical and Practical Prospects is the most advanced reference focused on chemical dispersants and inhibitors from both an experimental and modeling viewpoint. Adequate knowledge of the effective parameters in each treatment method, interactions, mechanisms and economic viewpoints involved in asphaltene treatment are crucial for future development, recovery forecast, and reserve prediction, hence this reference delivers on all these aspects. Sections cover the environmental impacts of asphaltene deposition, prevention methods, and experimental methods, both static and dynamic, to test the effectiveness of inhibitors on restricting asp...
Enabling the Business of Agriculture 2019
Enabling the Business of Agriculture 2019 presents indicators that measure the laws, regulations and bureaucratic processes that affect farmers in 101 countries. The study covers eight thematic areas: supplying seed, registering fertilizer, securing water, registering machinery, sustaining livestock, protecting plant health, trading food and accessing finance. The report highlights global best performers and countries that made the most significant regulatory improvements in support of farmers.
Women, Business and the Law 2020
The World Bank Group’s Women, Business and the Law examines laws and regulations affecting women’s prospects as entrepreneurs and employees across 190 economies. Its goal is to inform policy discussions on how to remove legal restrictions on women and promote research on how to improve women’s economic inclusion.
Applied Computer Sciences in Engineering
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th Workshop on Engineering Applications, WEA 2019, held in Santa Marta, Colombia, in October 2019. The 62 revised full papers and 2 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 178 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: computer science; computational intelligence; bioengineering; Internet of things; power applications; simulation systems; optimization.
Excavating Women
Archaeologists are increasingly aware of issues of gender when studying past societies; women are becoming better represented within the discipline and are attaining top academic posts. However, until now there has been no study undertaken of the history of women in European archaeology and their contribution to the development of the discipline. Excavating Women discusses the careers of women archaeologists such as Dorothy Garrod, Hanna Rydh and Marija Gimbutas, who against all odds became famous, as well as the many lesser-known personalities who did important archaeological work. The collection spans the earliest days of archaeology as a discipline to the present, telling the stories of w...
User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on User Modeling, Adaption and Personalization, held in Aalborg, Denmark, in July 2014. The 23 long and 19 short papers of the research paper track were carefully reviewed and selected from 146 submissions. The papers cover the following topics: large scale personalization, adaptation and recommendation; Personalization for individuals, groups and populations; modeling individuals, groups and communities; Web dynamics and personalization; adaptive web-based systems; context awareness; social recommendations; user experience; user awareness and control; Affective aspects; UMAP underpinning by psychology models; privacy; perceived security and trust; behavior change and persuasion.
The Dictator's Seduction
The dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo, who ruled the Dominican Republic from 1930 until his assassination in 1961, was one of the longest and bloodiest in Latin American history. The Dictator’s Seduction is a cultural history of the Trujillo regime as it was experienced in the capital city of Santo Domingo. Focusing on everyday forms of state domination, Lauren Derby describes how the regime infiltrated civil society by fashioning a “vernacular politics” based on popular idioms of masculinity and fantasies of race and class mobility. Derby argues that the most pernicious aspect of the dictatorship was how it appropriated quotidian practices such as gossip and gift exchange, leaving almos...
Mecanismos alternativos de solución de conflictos
Este libro, sobre mecanismos alternativos de solución de conflictos (MASC), es el resultado del trabajo colaborativo de varios de los profesores y los estudiantes que participaron del seminario del Doctorado en Derecho de la Universidad del Rosario que se llevó a cabo en 2021, cuyas reflexiones académicas gravitaron sobre el desarrollo y los límites que han tenido los instrumentos creados con el propósito de resolver las tensiones generadas por las controversias que se suscitan en el seno de las sociedades contemporáneas ante la incapacidad de la justicia institucional para resolverlas oportunamente. En la obra se integran contribuciones que abordan la temática de los MASC en la esfer...
