Waterflooding Management and Identifying IOR Opportunities in a Mature Reservoir
This thesis has identified opportunities to improve production performance by utilizing secondary and tertiary recovery strategies in a mature oil reservoir. The identification techniques include analytical methods and simulation studies on field performance. Recommendations based on the field …

Social Inhibition of return: Causes and properties
… named Social Inhibition of Return (social IOR) two individuals, sitting opposite each other take turns to respond to targets appearing on either side of a visual display. Typical results reveal that reaction times are longer when responses are directed to where the co-actor just responded. …

Neural Correlates of Tactile Attention: Behavioural measures and event-related brain potentials of inhibition of return, exogenous and endogenous attention in touch
… tactile processing and inhibition of return (IOR) - an area previously unexplored. In all studies a variation of the Posner cue-target paradigm was used. Typically, a cue was presented to the left or right hand. Following a stimulus onset asynchrony of 800 ms, a target would appear at the same …

FUTURE MARITIME SECURITY CONCERNS OF THE SRI LANKA NAVY: CHALLENGES VERSUS SOLUTIONS
… peace and stability in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). Specifically, the analysis examines security concerns in the IOR, the extra-regional power rivalry between India and China, why sea lines of communication need protection, initiatives to improve maritime security, and why maritime cooperation …

Essays on Corporate Finance and Financial Markets
… respond differently to interest on reserves (IOR) policy. For low IOR rates, large banks are non-responsive to IOR rate changes, leading to weak pass-through of IOR rate changes to deposit rates. In these circumstances, a central bank digital currency (CBDC) may be used to provide competitive …

Exploring constraint removal motion planners
… the family of iterative obstacle removing RRTs (IOR-RRTs). This family of algorithms operate similarly to the RRT but iteratively tolerate more collisions in trying to identify a path. One member of the family that performs well is the search informed IOR-RRT. This search technique first performs …

Totems: Verifying the Integrity of Visual Information using Neural Light Field
… access to totem shape and index of refraction (IoR), so achieving this consistency would be extremely difficult. Our work focuses on designing such algorithms that detect inconsistencies between the totem view and camera view given totem shape and IoR. In contrast to prior learning-based …

THE GREAT POWER STRUGGLE IN THE INDIAN OCEAN REGION AND ITS EFFECTS ON SRI LANKA
… amid the dynamics of the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), presenting it with the challenge of balancing regional powers—India and China. As a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement, Sri Lanka has historically pursued a non-aligned foreign policy, which proved beneficial during the Cold War and …

Effect of Depression on Attention via Mood Induction in a Healthy Population
… increased in the stimuli. Inhibition of Return (IOR) is suspected to be a problem due to longer probe presentation of 750 milliseconds. An interaction effect was found between gender and group on valence of the images. Women in the negative mood group responded faster to targets paired with …

Enhancing Special Core Analysis Insights into Wettability through the Application of Magnetic Resonance
… optimisation of improved/enhanced oil recovery (IOR/EOR) fluids to increase hydrocarbon production from existing fields by altering the wettability of the system. Wettability is the preference of a fluid to adhere to the surface of a rock core whilst in the presence of another immiscible fluid …

Novel insights into low salinity water flooding enhanced oil recovery in sandstone reservoirs
… industry to the cheapest improved oil recovery (IOR) techniques, such as low salinity (LS) waterflooding. Also, the reduction in reservoir energy and the friendly environmental aspects of low salinity water flooding (LSWF) provide additional incentives for its use. That LS water requires …

The relationship between hand-nearness, emotional arousal, and visual processing
… of the Fox et al.: 2002) inhibition-of-return: IOR) study, in which the IOR effect was substantially reduced following an angry compared to a happy or a neutral face-cue. In the present dissertation it was found that hand-nearness attenuated the effect of emotional arousal following the presence …

Selective attention and Individual differences in infant learning: a comprehensive investigation of exogenous orienting among 7-month-old infants.
… a process known as inhibition of return (IOR). This dissertation consists of two studies. Study 1 examined whether selective attention biases modulate 7-month-old infants’ learning of predictable information. Study 2 addressed individual differences in 7-month-old infants’ sensitivity to …

Compositional modeling of gas injection in tight oil reservoirs
… execution of Improved/Enhanced Oil Recovery (IOR/EOR), even with a minor improvement of 1%, would prompt a substantial production increase. Based on various field pilots, gas injection is by far the most promising IOR/EOR technology for tight oil reservoirs. This work developed an improved …

Investigating and modeling tar-mats in a Kuwaiti carbonate reservoir and their role in understanding oil reserves and recovery economics
… necessitating further improved oil recovery (IOR) technology applications. However, this research considers tar-mats as potential sources for unlocking extremely difficult crude oil, less than 5 ⁰API. The main objective of the study was to understand the qualitative physical and chemical …

Rheological Behavior of Coal-Water Slurries
<p>The rheological behavior of coal-water slurries was stud ied, using a Brookfield Rheolog viscometer with a thermosel system to maintain constant temperature. The coal used for making up the slurries was Sarpy Creek subbituminous coal from Montana. The effect of particle size, slurry concen …

The dynamics of attention in digital ecosystems
… to build a broad understanding of human behav- ior. However, myopic design patterns of these platforms, as well as the broader attention economy, have enabled the proliferation of misinformation and undermined collective in- telligence. These situating factors motivate a guiding research …
