The accelerated diagenesis, maturation, and catagenesis of organic matter to hydrothermal petroleum was studied in sediments from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 139 in Middle Valley, northern Juan de Fuca Ridge. Sediments at Sites 855 and 856 have experienced high heat flow resulting in accelerated diagenesis of the immature organic matter...

A series of profiles of velocity microstructure along 152°E in the western North Pacific Ocean were collected in May–June 1982. Large, averaged turbulent dissipation rates, ϵ, found in the main thermocline (400 to 1000 m) were determined by a combination of large independent estimates of ϵ and a greater rate...
Optimal well placement and optimal well control are two important areas of study in oilfield development. Although the two problems differ in several respects, both are important considerations in optimizing total oilfield production, and so recent work in the field has considered the problem of addressing both problems jointly. Two...
A commercially available, three-dimensional finite-element analysis software was used to model the load-displacement
behavior of metal-plate-connected (MPC) joints in wooden trusses. Model features included consideration
of material properties, teeth-to-grain-to-direction-of-force orientation, wood-to-wood interaction, and gaps between wood
members. To simulate wood-to-plate interaction, the main feature of the model, each tooth of...
