User`s guide and documentation manual for ``BOAST-VHS for the PC``
No full textThe recent advancement of computer technology makes reservoir simulations feasible in a personal computer (PC) environment. This manual provides a guide for running BOAST-VHS, a black oil reservoir simulator for vertical/horizontal/slant wells, using a PC. In addition to detailed explanations of input data file preparation for simulation runs, special features of BOAST-VHS are described and three sample problems are presented. BOAST-VHS is a cost-effective and easy-to-use reservoir simulation tool for the study of oil production from primary depletion and waterflooding in a black oil reservoir. The well model in BOAST-VHS permits specification of any combination of horizontal, slanted, and vertical wells in the reservoir. BOAST-VHS was designed for an IBM PC/AT, PS-2, or compatible computer with 640 K bytes of memory. BOAST-VHS can be used to model a three-dimensional reservoir of up to 810 grid blocks with any combination of rows, columns, and layers, depending on the input data supplied. This dynamic redimensioning feature facilitates simulation work by avoiding the need to recompiling the simulator for different reservoir models. Therefore the program is only supplied as executable code without any source code

Effects of structural iron oxidation state on the hydraulic conductivity and potassium fixation of smectite clays and soils
No full textRestricted to the U of I community indefinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETDsChanges in oxidation states of structural Fe in smectites altered the physicochemical properties of the minerals, which is of great importance to agriculture and environment because the permeability of soils and availability of plant nutrients depends in large degree on these properties of clays.Two smectites (SWa-1 and API 25) and the clay fraction of Batestown till with different saturating cations (Na\sp+, K\sp+, and Ca\sp{2+}) were reduced by sodium dithionite (Na\sb2S\sb2O\sb4) or sulfide (Na\sb2S), both in suspension and in situ after consolidation. The results indicated structural Fe reduction altered the hydraulic conductivity of the clays. The changes in hydraulic conductivity depended on both the oxidation state and consolidation history of the clay, and the choice of reducing agents and saturating cations.The swelling of K-saturated SWa-1 was determined and compared with the swelling of Na-smectite at various Fe oxidation states. The results indicated that the swelling of oxidized K-smectite was much less than that of oxidized Na-smectite. Structural Fe reduction decreased the swelling of Na-smectite, but increased the swelling of K-smectite. The swelling of reduced K- and Na-smectite was similar.The two smectites, one illite (Fithian), and the clay fractions from the A horizon of three Illinois soils were studied by different methods and techniques. The results indicated that the structural Fe reduction altered the distribution of K between exchangeable and fixed states. In smectites, Fe reduction increased K fixation without changing the amount of exchangeable K. In Illite, the reduction treatment released K to the surrounding solution. The behavior of soil clays is thus largely dependent on the type of clay minerals and the original fixed K content. Redox cycling increased the amount of residual Fe(II), and also altered the fixed K in the clays.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T14:15:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 2

Influenza : a scientometric and density-equalizing analysis
No full textBackground: Novel influenza in 2009 caused by H1N1, as well as the seasonal influenza, still are a challenge for the public health sectors worldwide. An increasing number of publications referring to this infectious disease make it difficult to distinguish relevant research output. The current study used scientometric indices for a detailed investigation on influenza related research activity and the method of density equalizing mapping to make the differences of the overall research worldwide obvious. The aim of the study was to compare scientific effort over the time as well as geographical distribution including the cooperation on national and international level.
Methods: Therefore, publication data was retrieved from Web of Science (WoS) of Thomson Scientific. Subsequently the data was analysed in order to show geographical distributions and the development of the research output over the time.
The query retrieved 51,418 publications that are listed in WoS for the time interval from 1900 to 2009. There is a continuous increase in research output and general citation activity especially since 1990.
Results: The identified all in all 51,418 publications were published by researchers from 151 different countries. Scientists from the USA participate in more than 37 percent of all publications, followed by researchers from the UK and Germany with more than five percent. In addition, the USA is in the focus of international cooperation.
In terms of number of publications on influenza, the Journal of Virology ranks first, followed by Vaccine and Virology. The highest impact factor (IF 2009) in this selection can be established for The Lancet (30.75). Robert Webster seems to be the most prolific author contributing the most publications in the field of influenza.
Conclusions: This study reveals an increasing and wide research interest in influenza. Nevertheless, citation based-declaration of scientific quality should be considered critically due to distortion by self-citation and co-authorship
Ecology of Free-Ranging Cheetahs
No full textConsiderable research has been conducted on cheetah ecology. Cheetahs can exist in a wide variety of habitats from thick scrub to open grassland, and habitat selection is based on a variety of factors, including visibility, prey density, and avoidance of competitively superior predators. Cheetahs naturally occur at low densities and require a prey base of small to medium-sized ungulates that can be consumed rapidly, minimizing the risks for cheetahs of being detected by larger carnivores that can usurp their kills. Cheetahs exhibit wide ranging movements and large home ranges—over 2000 km2 in some areas. Reported densities generally range from 0.3 to 3.0 adult cheetahs per 100 km2. The species distribution, density, and activity patterns are impacted by human activities and the presence of larger carnivores. Understanding cheetah habitat requirements and movement ecology, especially pertaining to long-distance movements, will become progressively more important as the cheetah’s range becomes increasingly fragmented

Culture après le déluge: heritage ecology after disaster
No full textThis PhD dissertation examines the relationships between cultural heritage and the environment, focusing specifically on the devastation and rebuilding of New Orleans, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Departing from conventional approaches to the natural world (such as documentation- and conservation-based approaches), this thesis adopts a developmental-systems based approach to cultural heritage in order to construct a new way of interpreting it, within the specific context of natural disaster. This new approach, termed ‘heritage ecology’, reinterprets cultural heritage in two ways: first, as a physical assemblage of sites, materials, traditions, beliefs, and practices that are constructed in significant ways by their natural environments; and second, as a metaphorical ecosystem which impacts back on the assessment and construction of that natural environment in turn.
In order to construct this approach, the thesis poses three interrelated questions: how is cultural heritage transformed as a result of disaster, how do societies rebuild their heritage after disaster, and how does heritage contribute to the rebuilding process? Examining a rebuilding process in real-time provides a unique window on these processes; events and developments in New Orleans taken from the first four years of recovery (2005-2009) suggest that prior understandings of how societies rebuild themselves after disaster have neglected crucial aspects of cultural heritage that are integral to that process. The examination of data from the case study -- data of diverse forms, such as historiography, the culinary arts, music, the built environment, and memorial sites and landscapes -- reveals the limitations of traditional approaches to heritage and prompts a reassessment of a range of issues central to heritage research, issues such as materiality, authenticity, and commodification. This study moreover incorporates into heritage research concepts previously unconsidered, such as infrastructure and policy. In the coming century of global climate change and increased environmental hazards, this last theme will become increasingly central to heritage policy and research; the dissertation concludes accordingly, with a reflection on contingency and future disaster
Recognising Multi-textualism: Rethinking New Zealand's Legal History
No full textIn this article the author discusses various written agreements that the New Zealand government has entered into with Māori since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. It is argued that the legal history of New Zealand is more "multi-textual", and more like Canada, the United States, and Argentina than is often thought. It is argued also that the process of agreement-making has been a continuously evolving one and at the present day is more important than ever. The article distinguishes between various types of Crown-Māori agreements and explores which of them are more Treaty-like than others
