Modeling Fluid Flow In Heterogeneous And Anisotropic Porous Media

Permeability distribution in reservoirs is very important for the flow of water or oil and gas. In this study, the effects of various heterogeneous permeability distributions on the flow field are simulated using the finite difference technique. We have simulated the flow for two types of heterogeneous distributions, one is Gaussian and the other is self-similar or fractal, the latter being much rougher than the former. The results show that the flow is not sensitive to the roughness of the distribution. In the case of lineated heterogeneities, anisotropy in the flow properties occurs. The anisotropy is not very significant if the lineated highly permeable regions are surrounded by less permeable regions. However, in the case of lineated fractures, where the background permeability is small, the flow is very sensitive to the direction of the lineation, such anisotropy can produce orders of magnitude difference in permeability. Furthermore, it is shown that the degree of anisotropy depends on the connectivity of the fractures. The anisotropy decreases with decreasing connectivity.Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Extending the Rejection Sensitivity Model to the Stigma of Criminal Status: Trauma and Interpersonal Functioning in the Age of Mass Incarceration

Building on prior work on status-based rejection sensitivity, I propose a social-cognitive model of criminal-status-based rejection sensitivity (RS-criminal record) to account for differences in how people perceive and respond to threats of rejection based on their criminal histories. Study 1 develops a measure of criminal-status-based rejection sensitivity, defined as a tendency to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and negatively react to rejection based on one’s criminal status. Study 2 tests the predictions of the RS-criminal record model that anxious expectations of criminal-status-based rejection are associated with heightened perceptions of criminal-status-based rejection threat and responding to criminal-status-based stressors through self-silencing and anger. Together, Studies 1 and 2 show that RS-criminal record is distinct from general interpersonal rejection sensitivity (RS-personal), race-based rejection sensitivity (RS-race), and other relevant stigma constructs. Study 3 tests the predictions of the RS-criminal record model experimentally, establishing evidence of the negative effects of criminal record disclosure, RS-criminal record, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on interpersonal effectiveness in an interview (as assessed by an interaction partner and outside observers) and subsequent affective states. The three studies also test the prediction, based on the dynamics of our model and evidence from focus groups, that higher levels of RS-criminal record should predict greater PTSD symptom severity. Together, these studies provide evidence of the utility of RS-criminal record to illuminate the psychological and structural pathways through which stigma can undermine the task of social integration after being released from prison

Design for Reliability of Printed Circuit Boards.

A well designed product satisfies performance requirements and optimizes between reliability, producibility, supportability and cost criteria. In the design of electronics, these design criteria originate from a variety of disciplines. Electrical criteria include meeting signal distribution, power distribution, board I/O, and grounding rules, reducing crosstalk, and minimizing routing track lengths to meet speed and transmission line specifications. Environmental criteria include meeting environmental derating limits. Mechanical criteria involve designing for durability under vibrational and thermalmechanical loading. Manufacturing criteria include meeting geometric constraints for quality control, and providing acceptable assembly conditions
