Algorithmic procedures for Bayesian MEG/EEG source reconstruction in SPM
Abstract The MEG/EEG inverse problem is ill-posed, giving different source reconstructions depending on the initial assumption sets. Parametric Empirical Bayes allows one to implement most popular MEG/EEG inversion schemes (Minimum Norm, LORETA,...

ParNCL and ParGAL: Data-parallel Tools for Postprocessing of Large-scale Earth Science Data
Abstract Earth science high-performance applications often require extensive analysis of their output in order to complete the scien- tific goals or produce a visual image or animation. Often this analysis cannot be done in situ because it requires...

Influence of Cell Boundary Flux Distribution on Well Pressure
Abstract Semi-analytic solutions to Poisson's Equation on two and three-dimensional rectilinear domains with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, and those extended to open systems using Green's Theorem, allow the role of boundary flux...

Palynology: A tool to identify abrupt events? An example from Chabahar Bay, southern Iran
Abstract Tsunami, storm and flood events are destructive agents that have the potential to cause much damage and cost lives. The coastal regions around the north-western Arabian Sea are prone to these natural disasters with recent events including...

Geometrical Shape Optimization of a Cavity Receiver Using Coupled Radiative and Hydrodynamic Modeling
Abstract By using a two-stage optimisation process we maximise the heat rate output of afour-parameter axisymmetric direct steam generation cavity receiver. The model includes radiative and hydrodynamic considerations. We show that a significant...

Theoretical analysis of chirp excitation of contrast agents
Abstract Analytic expressions are found for the amplitude of the first and second harmonics of the Ultrasound Contrast Agent’s (UCA’s) dynamics when excited by a chirp. The dependency of the second harmonic amplitude on the system parameters, the...

The challenges on the CCGS monitoring in the development of Santos Basin Pre-salt Cluster
Abstract The Santos Basin Pre-salt reservoirs are located in deepwater offshore Brazil and although the oil has a good quality, their CO2 concentrations are higher than those generally found in other Brazilian fields. PETROBRAS and its partners...

The role of CCS in the European electricity supply system
Abstract This paper investigates the role of CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technologies as part of a portfolio for reducing CO2 emissions from the European electricity supply system until the year 2050. The analysis is carried out with a...

Employing CCS technologies in the caribbean: A case study for trinidad and tobago
Abstract Public acceptance is one of the most critical factors affecting carbon dioxide capture and geological sequestration (CCS). Of the several reasons for public skepticism towards adoption of this technology, safety and reliability are leading...

Natural CO2 occurrence in geological formations and the implications on CO2 storage capacity and site selection
Abstract Accurate assessment of natural CO2 occurrence and its saturation state with respect to the mineral buffering effect could better guide CO2 storage site selection, injection performance and capacity estimation. The primary control on...

Combining brine extraction, desalination, and residual-brine reinjection with CO2 storage in saline formations: Implications for pressure management, capacity, and risk mitigation
Abstract For industrial-scale CO2 injection in saline formations, pressure increase can be a limiting factor in storage capacity. To address this concern, we introduce Active CO2 Reservoir Management (ACRM), which combines brine extraction and...

Economic modeling of carbon dioxide integrated pipeline network for enhanced oil recovery and geologic sequestration in the Texas Gulf Coast region
Abstract Naturally occurring CO2 is transported via pipelines to oil fields in West Texas to enhance production. A similar pipeline system is proposed for the Gulf Coast region of Texas. The CO2 would come from anthropogenic sources. Using GIS data, ...
