According to IPCC Annual Report (AR-5), environmental impact assessment of any product prototype is recommended before its large-scale commercialization; however, no environmental profile analysis of any biodiesel prototype has been conducted in Pakistan.Therefore, objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA),
Velocity-Porosity-Mineralogy Model for Unconventional Shale and Its Applications to Digital Rock Physics
By examining wireline data from Woodford and Wolfcamp gas shale, we find that the primary controls on the elastic-wave velocity are the total porosity, kerogen content, and mineralogy.At a fixed porosity, both Vp and Vs strongly depend on the clay content, as well as on the kerogen content.Both velocities are also strong functions of the sum of the
Using Methods From Computational Decision-making to Predict Nonadherence to Fitness Goals: Protocol for an Observational Study
BackgroundCan methods from computational models of decision-making be used to build a predictive model to identify individuals most likely to be nonadherent to Collections personal fitness goals? Such a model may have significant value in the global battle against obesity.Despite growing awareness of the impact of physical inactivity on human healt
