Article Abstract

The imbibition of water into the pores of tight oil/gas reservoir can displace the oil/gas out. Thus it is an important method to improve the recovery efficiency of tight shale gas and oil. This paper investigated the influence of four main dimensionless parameters on the spontaneous imbibition based on a pores distribution of a real shale sample. The results show that the connectivity has the greatest impact on the average imbibition velocity while the impact of the contact angle is the smallest. The capillary number has the greatest impact on the oil displacement efficiency. The impact of main factors on imbibition and displacement is not monotonic, but rather a combination of these factors.

Background: Labor shortages in health care pose significant challenges to sustaining high-quality care for people with intellectual disabilities. Social robots show promise in supporting both people with intellectual disabilities and their health care professionals; yet, few are fully developed and embedded in productive care environments. Implementation of such technologies is inherently complex, requiring careful examination of facilitators and barriers influencing sustained use.

In this cross-sectional study, carried out in 2012, we assessed factors associated with tooth loss among adolescents from Minas Gerais, Brazil, utilizing data from a secondary database. Individual and local-level variables were selected to represent health determinants. Individual covariates included sex, age, skin color, maternal education, household income, use of dental services, and self-perceived need for dental care.

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a key driver of global climate variability. Early-season westerly wind bursts (WWBs) have long been suggested to be important for ENSO evolution and diversity, with the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) among the main sources of WWBs. However, MJO's contribution to ENSO evolution has been difficult to quantify.
