No full textHere is a curious book. Its title-page declares "The Artist's Book of Fables" but its pre-title-page has "Fables, Original and Selected, with a Memoir of the Author." After that title-page, it is identical with "Fables, Original and Selected" as in our copy printed by John Murray in 1833. There is again an AI at the front and an index of engravings and engravers at the back. I found that copy twenty years ago. I had found an inferior copy twenty-two years before that. At that time, I noted Aesopic fables here including "Stone Broth" and "The Mouse and the Oyster."This is a hardbound book (hard cover)James Northcote, R.A

The influence of the presence of oil in the produced geothermal water on injectivity
No full textIn this report is written what kind of influence oil has on the injection rate in geothermal wells. The geothermal well in Pijnacker (Ammerlaan) is used as a reference and their production water and produced oil is used in the experiments. The experiment consist of a microcell filled with beach sand in which production water with different quantities of oil is injected. The set-up was first tested by comparing the permeability derived from three different theories. After these tests the permeability of tap water, oil/brine mixtures of 0 ppm, 100 ppm, 1000 ppm and 10000 ppm oil are compared. The difference between 0 ppm and 100 ppm oil is about 8 Darcy while the difference between tap water and the 0 ppm oil mixture is 8 Darcy. The difference between the mixtures is caused by oil. The oil clogs and lowers the permeability. The difference between the brine and tap water is caused by some solvents in the production water which create an external filter cake on top of the sample. These solids are formed due to the cooling down from 72 to 40 degrees Celsius and oxidation. After each experiment pictures from the cross-sections where made from the samples with the use of UV-light,7 pictures per sample. On these pictures can be seen how and how far the oil has penetrated the samples. Most of the oil passes the microcell along the sides and the maximum penetration of the oil is about 3cm after 4 hours.Geoscience & EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience

Improving individual identification of wolves (Canis lupus) using the fundamental frequency and amplitude of their howls: a new survey method
No full textMany bioacoustic studies have been able to identify individual mammals from variations in the fundamental frequency (F0) of their vocalizations. Other characteristics of vocalization which encode individuality, such as amplitude, are less frequently used because of problems with background noise and recording fidelity over distance. In this thesis, I investigate whether the inclusion of amplitude variables improves the accuracy of individual howl identification in captive Eastern grey wolves (Canis lupus lycaon). I also explore whether the use of a bespoke code to extract the howl features, combined with histogram-derived principal component analysis (PCA) values, can improve current individual wolf howl identification accuracies. From a total of 89 solo howls from six captive individuals, where distances between wolf and observer were short, I achieved 95.5% (+9.0% improvement) individual identification accuracy of captive wolves using discriminant function analysis (DFA) to classify simple scalar variables of F0 and normalized amplitudes. Moreover, this accuracy was increased to 100% when using histogram-derived PCA values of F0 and amplitudes of the first harmonic

Turbulent entrainment in a shearless mixing layer at the edge of a cloud
No full textThree-dimensional direct numerical simulations which combine the Eulerian description of temperature, vapor content and velocity with a Lagrangian ensemble of cloud water droplets are used to study the turbulent entrainment and subsequent mixing of clear air with a cloudy air filament. The study is conducted in a shearless mixing layer setup which is adjusted to realistic conditions at a cumulus cloud boundary. The magnitude of turbulent velocity fluctuations in- and outside the cloud can be varied independently. We find that the evolution of the cloud water droplet ensemble depends slightly only on the contrast of turbulent velocity fluctuations in- and outside the cloud filament. The buoyancy feedback on the flow via the evaporating droplets causes a transient amplification of all fluctuations before the turbulence eventually decays. We study the evolution of the probability density functions of droplet size as well as of supersaturation, temperature and vorticity at the droplet positions
