To obtain sustainable economical oil production and recovery of investment, some oil fields adopted the strategy of multilayer commingling production at an early stage. This leads to interlayer interference and losing part of the recoverable reserves. In this paper, dynamic interference behaviors of arbitrary multilayer commingling production in heavy oil reservoirs are analyzed. Based on the non-Darcy flow equation, the Buckly-Leverett equation, and the material balance equation, a mathematical model of arbitrary multilayer commingling production is obtained. Oil and water relative permeability, saturation, and bottom hole flow pressure microelement and the iteration method are employed to solve the mathematical model in the time domain. The new model is verified by comparing the results from the typical black oil model using the Darcy law. The sensitivity analysis of critical parameters on interference behaviors, such as permeability, oil viscosity, effective drainage boundary, and voidage replacement ratio, is carried out. The model obtained in this paper can be used for oil and liquid productivity analysis during the overall process of commingling production and extended to be applied in numerical experiments with different combinations of typical parameters as well.

The demand for affordable prostheses is particularly high in Low Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Currently, sockets are predominantly manufactured using monolithic thermoplastic polymers, which lack durability and strength, or consumptive thermoset resin reinforcing with expensive composite fillers like carbon, glass, or Kevlar fibers. However, there exist unmet and demanding needs among amputees for procuring low-cost, high-strength, and faster socket manufacturing methods.

Unlabelled: Air crashes or explosions with numerous victims may result in thousands of fragmented human remains that present a massive challenge for disaster victim identification teams. Genetic identification may present important financial and technical limits, and the physical re-association of fractured bones by forensic anthropologists may require a time-consuming phase of cleaning and drying. A virtual re-association (VRA) of fragmented human remains using postmortem computed tomography (CT)-scan images could enhance the identification process and reduce the number of genetic analyses required.

Long-distance transport can cause stress to beef cattle impairing health and growth performances. This study aimed to deepen the knowledge of the effects of long-distance transport on young bulls' metabolic profile to identify reliable blood parameters for monitoring their health and welfare. Eighty Charolais young bulls, transported for 12 hours to the final fattening unit, were weighed and blood sampled at three time intervals: before leaving the commingling centre (day -1), upon arrival at the fattening unit (day 0), and 7 days post-arrival (day 7).

Evaluation of heat stress abatement for pre-weaned dairy calves is a rare endeavor. We aimed to assess the impacts of cooling the environment of pre-weaned calves through ceiling fans on their performance after weaning and during their first lactation. We randomly assigned female Holstein calves to one of two treatment at birth (day 0): individual frame-wire hutches in a non-cooled barn ("SH", n = 125) and individual frame-wire hutches in a barn equipped with ceiling fans ("SHF", n = 101).

A review of the contributions of forensic archaeology and anthropology to the process of disaster victim identification.

Forensic archaeology and anthropology have developed significantly over past decades and now provide considerable assistance to the investigation process of disaster victim recovery and identification. In what are often chaotic death and crime scenes, the formal process of utilizing archaeological methods can bring control, order, and ensure systematic search. Procedures assist in defining scene extent, locating victims and evidence, rule out areas for consideration, and provide standardized recording and quality assurance through dedicated use of standardized forms (pro formas).
