Sustainable treatment of oil contaminated waste: oil-based mud (OBM) drill cuttings and soil.
… of petroleum hydrocarbons in oil based mud (OBM) drill cuttings and soil. Soil washing using biosurfactant is one of such technological developments. Biosurfactants are surface active compounds produced from biological origin. They are amphiphilic molecules, consisting of hydrophilic and …

Processing, structure and thermo-mechanical properties of reclaimed nanoclay, and its application in polyamide 6 and low-density polyethylene nanocomposites.
Oil-based mud (OBM) wastes are generated every year all over the world, and remain a serious challenge for the oil and gas industry. The potential solution for this global problem is either to destroy these hazardous chemicals completely - a significant challenge - or to use/utilise them for …

Admicellar Polymerization to Compatibilize Calcium Carbonate With Oil-Based Drilling Mud
… oil and gas drilling operations. Oil-based mud (OBM), a more preferred drilling mud, being hydrophobic is particularly non-compatible with hydrophilic CC. This work explored an economically viable admicellar polymerization technique to surface-modify the high energy hydrophilic CC surface to a …

A comprehensive approach to preventing errors in a hospital setting: Organizational behavior management and patient safety
… several organizational behavior management (OBM) intervention techniques have been used to improve particular behaviors related to patient safety, there remains a lack of patient-safety-focused behavioral interventions among healthcare workers. OBM interventions are often applied to needs …

Analytical Modeling and Diagnosis of Penetration Rate Performance of PDC Bits
… field examples of bit balling in oil base mud (OBM), although uncommon, were also found. This study developed analytical models to describe some of these interactions. The other questions addressed were whether some form of balling causes slow ROP in deep shales drilled with OBM and whether …

Wellbore Strengthening by Means of Nanoparticle-Based Drilling Fluids
… of 65% and 30%, respectively. Oil based mud (OBM) containing in-house prepared nanoparticles (NPs) was used for hydraulic fracturing experiments performed in an experimental set-up that scaled a drilled, cased and cemented wellbore in a core. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscope …

Three Essays on Incentive Problems of Parties with Potential Conflict of Interest
… number of original brand manufacturers (OBMs) do not have in-house production capability, and thus rely on competitive contract manufacturers (CCMs) on the supply side. This increasing demand puts CCMs in a capacity allocation dilemma between their own product and the OBM’s product. I …

AN EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECTS OF FEEDBACK AND ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT TRAINING ON DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL ACTIVE TREATMENT IMPLEMENTATION, STRESS, AND JOB SATISFACTION
… contingencies. ACT's utility in the area of OBM is still in the early stages of exploration. Experiment 1 examined the effect of a verbal and written performance feedback system with a low cost probabilistic contingency reward program and an eight hour ACT training program on the percentage …

Exploring the Predictive Utility of Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) with Respect to Performance in Organizations
The Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) has been used as a means of measuring implicit attitudes, or assessing implicit verbal relations, for several years. Much of the early work with IRAP consisted of validating the results obtained using the IRAP with those of another well-documented …
