Development and Evaluation of Fibrous Fluid Formulations for Horizontal Gas and Oil Well Cleanout by MAHMOUD, HUSAMELDIN ABDELHAMID

“…Therefore, the development of stable Fibrous Cleanout Fluids (FCFs) using different anionic polymeric formulations provide bases for efficient utilization of these materials toward successful hole cleaning. As a result, the main aim of this thesis is to provide fundamentals for cuttings, fiber, and polymer interactions, focusing on the development of stable fibrous water-based fluids for horizontal and vertical drilling hole cleaning applications. …”

Modification of Pd/CeO2 catalyst by Atomic Layer Deposition of ZrO2 by Onn, Tzia Ming

“…Calcination of the unmodified Pd/CeO2, prepared by precipitation of aqueous Ce(NO3)3 solutions, with Pd added by impregnation, caused a large decrease in surface area and an increase in crystallite size between 673 K and 1073 K; however, catalysts modified by 0.4 nm ZrO2 films showed no change in either surface area or CeO2 crystallite size upon calcination to 1073 K. …”

Green handover with a hybrid satisfaction mechanism by Zorba, Nizar

“…Therefore, this paper will present a hybrid handover mechanism where two conflict objectives of load balancing and energy consumption are tackled, where the operator's objective is to balance the data load among its macroand small-cells, while the user equipment objective is to decrease the consumed energy in order to guarantee a larger battery life. …”
