Experimental Investigation of Foam drilling fluid using Visualization Technique by Barooah, Abinash

“…The concentration of the borosilicate solid glass beads of 2-3 mm average diameter was varied between 0 - 4 wt. %. The results showed that increase in the liquid flow rate or Reynold number improved cutting transport, whereas increase in the gas flow rate and solid cuttings concentration decreased the cutting transport velocity for a constant gas input pressure. …”

Molecular epidemiology and genotype distribution of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) among Arab women in the state of Qatar by Bansal, Devendra

“…HPV 16 (4.6%) was identified as the predominant high-risk HPV genotype among women with normal cytology and HPV 16, HPV 18, and HPV 56 (22.2% each) were the most common identified high-risk genotypes in women with abnormal cytology Conclusions: The overall HPV prevalence in Arab women in Qatar was identified as 6.1% with an increased HPV prevalence seen in women with abnormal cytology results and no significant trends seen with age. In contrast to Western countries, we report a varied genotypic profile of HPV with a high prevalence of low-risk HPV genotype 81 among the Arab women residing in Qatar.…”

Investigation of gas-liquid flow using electrical resistance tomography and wavelet analysis techniques for early kick detection by Barooah, Abinash

“…It was observed that the liquid flow rate, air input pressure and inclination has a much bigger impact on gas volume fraction whereas eccentricity does not have a significant influence. An increase in the liquid flow rate and eccentricity by 60% and 30% decreased the gas volume fraction by an average of 32.8% and 5.9% respectively, whereas an increase in the inclination by 80 increased the gas volume fraction by an average 42%. …”
