Prion diseases are caused by propagation of misfolded forms of the normal cellular prion
protein PrP C , such as PrP BSE in bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle and PrP …

Objectives: To review our experience with thoracoscopyand talc poudrage during the
previous 15 years with regards toefficacy, side effects, morbidity, and mortality. Methods: Six …

Non-intrusive monitoring of animals in the wild is possible using camera trapping networks.
The cameras are triggered by sensors in order to disturb the animals as little as possible. …

Asphaltene precipitation and deposition can occur at different stages during petroleum
production, causing reservoir formation damage and plugging of pipeline and production …

The potential problem of asphaltene deposition during oil production has motivated the
development of several experimental techniques and theoretical models to understand and …

Asphaltenes are the heaviest and most polarizable components of crude oil. The phase
behavior of these polydisperse components is important in both the upstream and downstream …

The Schrödinger bridge problem (SBP) finds the most likely stochastic evolution between
two probability distributions given a prior stochastic evolution. As well as applications in the …

The insolubility of asphaltenes in light paraffin liquids and other incompatible fluids, such as
carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), is a source of problems during crude oil production operations. …

The current need for large databases to evaluate automatic biometric recognition systems
has motivated the developing of the GPDS-960 corpus, an off-line handwritten signature …

Asphaltene precipitation and subsequent deposition are responsible for one of the major
flow assurance concerns in the oil industry. Recent experimental evidence found on the …
