Aspectos de la gramatización antigua de la lengua vasca by Aurélie Arcocha-Scarcia, Joseba Andoni Lakarra

“…In §3 we address aspects of the grammatization of RS, contrasting it with Garibay and other old testimonies: in 3.1 we analyse the size of RS and the "direction" of the translation (Basque/Spanish); in 3.2 we examine certain very marked spellings of RS within the Basque text tradition ( and apical affricate sibilant), related more to the French than the Hispanic tradition; in 3.3 we demonstrate that Mares and not Porralis was the true publisher of the RS and in 3.4 that, in reality, this work was above all a teaching / learning instrument for languages (partic. …”

Comparison of Crushed-Zone Skin Factor for Cased and Perforated Wells Calculated with and without including a Tip-Crushed Zone Effect by Ekhwaiter Abobaker, Abadelhalim Elsanoose, Faisal Khan, Mohammad Azizur Rahman, Amer Aborig, Stephen Butt

“…The differences between the two simulations’ results show that currently available models for estimating the skin factor for vertical perforated completions need to be improved based on which of the two cases is closer to reality. This study has presented a better understanding of crushed zone characteristics by employing a different approach to the composition and shape of the crushed zone and permeability reduction levels for the crushed zone in the axial direction of the perforation.…”
