The Effects of Hydro Confining Pressure on the Flow Properties of Sandstone and Carbonate Rocks
Abstract: There is a significant effect of the hydro confining pressure of the core holder on the flowing properties of the formation rocks. This effect is caused due to the mechanical elastic deformation of the core when carrying out laboratory studies of the water shutoff and polymer compositions. Consequently, this deformation will cause changing in the permeability and voids storage capacity of the studied core samples. Therefore, under the laboratory conditions …

Innovative Approaches to Luminescence: Exciton-Polariton Lasers and Quantum Confinement in 2D Materials
Abstract: The phenomenon known as luminescence occurs when an external energy of any kind excites a substance's electronic state, and the excited energy is released as light. Luminescence is the absence of heat produced by light emission. Luminescence comes in a variety of forms, including thermoluminescence, bioluminescence, and chemiluminescence. Examples of luminescence include flat-screen TVs, LED lights, and bioluminescent phytoplankton. The measurement of the emission spectrum produced when previously excited atoms …

Strengthening of RC Structures Using CFRP-Near Surface Mounted Technique
Abstract: This study reviews the literature on fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and their applications in near-surface mounted (NSM) applications. Since fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites outperform many conventional steel reinforcing methods in terms of quality, they are nearly entirely dependent on advanced concrete technology. Many structures that will still be in use two decades from now have already been constructed. A portion of these structures must undergo enhancements or be replaced, as they …
