OIL WELL CEMENT ADDITIVES: Critical Review of the Common Polymers[ ]


Oil well cementing is a critical operation required for successful completion of oil or gas wells. The longevity and integrity of wells depend on good cementing operations. Several chemicals known as oilfield additives are needed to modify the API properties of cement slurries for optimum performance. These additives fall into the following broad categories: retarders, accelerators, extenders, densifiers, dispersants, fluid loss control agents, lost circulation agents, strength retrogression prevention agents, free water/free fluid control agents, expansion agents, and special additives.

Artifact correction of EEG signals using Kernel FastICA based on Mutual Information[ ]


The signals collected from scalp are often called as electroencephalography (EEG) signals .These are usually contaminated by other signals like electrooculography (EOG) signals which are often called as artifacts. The recorded brain signals are mixtures of both EEG and EOG signals. Since the required EEG signal is having an extra unwanted EOG information, this leads to wrong diagnosis of brain activity. The main objective here is removal of this unwanted EOG signal. There are several signal processing methods to solve this problem.
