Distance Dependent Localization Approach in Oil Reservoir History Matching: A Comparative Study
To perform any economic management of a Collectable Coins petroleum reservoir in real time, a predictable and/or updateable model of reservoir along with uncertainty estimation ability is required.One relatively recent method is a sequential Monte Carlo implementation of the Kalman filter: the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF).The EnKF not only estimat
Dactylogyrus fraternus Wagener, 1909 (Monogenea: Dactylogyridae) Parasitic on Alburnus alburnus (Cyprinidae) from Turkey
Dactylogyrus species are a group of monogenean gill parasites that are highly specific to freshwater fishes; represents the most dominant genus among the Monogenea with regard to host distribution and location.They were Coat sampled 14 species from more than 27 host collected in Turkey.Among these dactylogyrid parasites, Dactylogyrus fraternus coul
Membrane properties of striatal direct and indirect pathway neurons in mouse and rat slices and their modulation by dopamine.
D1 and D2 receptor expressing striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) are ascribed to striatonigral ("direct") and striatopallidal ("indirect") pathways, respectively, that are believed to Back pack function antagonistically in motor control.Glutamatergic synaptic transmission onto the two types is differentially affected by Dopamine (DA), however, le
