over the last several years, particularly distributed locking and recovery technology. To date it has been a matter of conjecture how well these ideas scale. We have had the opportunity to test those limits in the context of a product that runs on the largest systems in existence. While in many cases

Microorganisms were considered to be detrimental to the petroleum industry in the past. It is now known that they can also be beneficial in terms of oil recovery. There are three ways in which microorganisms may contribute to enhanced oil recovery (EOR): (a) microorganisms can produce

-existing communication infrastructure, e.g., disaster recovery environments. Ad hoc networking concept is not a new one, having been around in various forms for over 20 years. Traditionally, tactical networks have been the only communication networking application that followed the ad hoc paradigm. Recently

By integrating- continr m ls, high-efficiency oil contamination remod, oil control can add profitably to the bottom line. Firms have achieved better overall process performance, and such separation and reuse is a core component of minimum production costs.

As long as fossil fuels continue to be used, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is an essential countermeasure against global warming. This is particularly important for coal-fired power plants because they produce relatively large amounts of CO2. The important issues in CCS include the ability to capture large volumes of CO2 from coal-fired power plants as well the reduction of the

-borrowing delayed clock. A metastability-tolerant comparator then validates latch values sampled with the fast clock. In the event of a timing error, a modified pipeline mispeculation recovery mechanism restores correct program state. A prototype Razor pipeline was designed in 0.18 µm technology and was analyzed

. The inverted list technology that underlies much of Information Retrieval is well-suited to these queries, but should we implement this technology (a) in a separate loosely-coupled IR engine, or (b) using the native tables and query execution machinery of the RDBMS? With option (b), more than twenty years

charcoal samples were within the standard limits except particle size of charcoal made using the gasifier. Coconut shell biomass gasification with waste heat recovery technology can be used in dry processing method of virgin coconut oil production as a renewable, low cost and environmental friendly energy

The work deals with a possible solution on heat recovery related to the sand-drier SCH 5 in a foundry. The heat recovery applied on air entering the heating chamber is designed in this variant. The work consists of analysis of drying process including balance calculations, design with relevant

Abstract: Due to the water shortage in the state of Wyoming as a result of the warm temperatures and relatively little precipitations, development of a contaminant-leaching model for aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) was considered as an alternative option to replace some other more expensive
