![]() ![]() For example, in the United States in 2005/2006, women earned 62% of associate degrees, 58% of bachelor's degrees, 60% of master's degrees, and 50% of doctorates. In some Western countries, women have surpassed men at many levels of education. Inequalities in education for girls and women are complex: women and girls face explicit barriers to entry to school, for example, violence against women or prohibitions of girls from going to school, while other problems are more systematic and less explicit, for example, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education disparities are deep rooted, even in Europe and North America. Broader related topics include single-sex education and religious education for women, in which education is divided along gender lines. The education of women and girls is important for the alleviation of poverty. It includes areas of gender equality and access to education. It is frequently called girls' education or women's education. This means that the pressure is uniform long the wellbore face, and the well is said to have infinite conductivity.Female education is a catch-all term for a complex set of issues and debates surrounding education ( primary education, secondary education, tertiary education, and health education in particular) for girls and women. Kuchuk extended the previous works (1, 11, 14) on pressure transient behaviour of horizontal wells to include the effects of a gas cap nd/or aquifer (15).Ī convenient model to represent the pressure behaviour in a horizontal drainhole is one that assumes no pressure drop in its interior during fluid flow. Daviau also analysed the pressure behaviour of horizontal wells, considering both infiniteconductivity nd uniform-flux inner boundary conditions (14). Ozkan compared the performances of horizontal wells and fullypenetrating vertical fractures (11–13). Thambynayagam used finite Fourier transforms to solve the anisotropic problem for the line-source case (1) they presented a solution for an infinite-conductivity horizontal well located in a semi-infinite, homogeneous and anisotropic reservoir of uniform thickness and width. Ramey to solve the 3D isotropic diffusivity equation (7, 9, 10). Most work dealing with the horizontal well pressure transient problem uses the instantaneous Green's function technique developed by A.C. Solutions to the pressure-transient response of a horizontal drainhole based on the use of source and Green's functions and In general, the techniques explaining the pressure-transient response in horizontal wells can be grouped into two categories: Analytical solutions for the pressure behaviour of uniform flux, as well as infinite-conductivity horizontal wells have been discussed in the literature (1–5). Interpretation of well tests from horizontal wells is much more difficult than interpretation of those from vertical wells because of a considerable wellbore storage effect, the three dimensional nature of the flow geometry and lack of radial symmetry, and strong correlations between certain parameters. An extensive literature survey on horizontal wells can be found. During the last decade, analytic solutions have been presented for the pressure behaviour of horizontal wells.ĭetermination of transient pressure behaviour for horizontal wells has aroused considerable interest over the past ten years. The use of transient well testing for determining reservoir parameters and productivity of horizontal wells has become common because of the upsurge in horizontal drilling. For both vertical and horizontal wells, steady-state and unsteady-state pressure-transient tests are useful tools for evaluating in situ reservoir and wellbore parameters that describe the production characteristics of a well. ![]()

![]() They simply feel more polished and sturdier than any other MIDI keyboard out there they’re truly in a different league (the 61-key Akai MPK261 weighs in at a hefty 15 lbs). So, why the premium price tag? If we had to describe these Akai MIDI keyboards in one word, it would be quality. These are not the most budget-minded keyboards, with the smallest one starting around $250. ![]() The Akai MPK249 seems to have improved on just about everything from its very popular predecessor, the MPK 49. Three flavors are available: the MPK225 with 25 keys, MPK249 with 49 keys, and MPK261 with 61 keys. One of our favorite lines of MIDI keyboards out there is Akai’s MPK2xx series, particularly the Akai MPK249 49-Key USB MIDI Drum Pad and Keyboard Controller.

Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S49 MK2 Gorgeous design, tons of pads, sliders & knobs, comprehensive DAW support and seamless integration with the included Arturia Analog Lab 3 collection of software synths. Ableton users might prefer the Launchkey, but otherwise the slight edge goes to this one. With an impressive build quality, superior drum pads, nice price tag, and plenty of pro users, the M-Audio Oxygen series is a worthy competitor to the Novation Launchkey. Lots of pros use this one, and if you can do without sliders and pads, you're good to go. Bonus points for the availability of 88-keys with the Keystation 88. If you don't need sliders knobs & pads, and simply want a great quality no-frills MIDI keyboard, the M-Audio Keystation is the one to get. We highly recommend the Novation Launchkey 61 MK2 if you're looking for a 61 keys. If you're an Ableton Live user, you'll love how everything maps seamlessly.

We use an optimized motor with quiet operation in our SureSpeed fans so you get better airflow using less energy. Ceiling fan motor performanceĮven if you have the proper fan size, blade shape, and blade pitch, you still need a powerful motor to generate the movement that creates airflow. Our ceiling fan buying guide is a great resource for learning what the right ceiling fan size is for your space to produce the best airflow. Be sure to look for SureSpeed if you really want to feel the difference. Size is a big factor in efficient ceiling fan airflow. Installing a fan that's too small for your space won't circulate air effectively throughout the room. Alternatively, installing a fan that's too large for the space could overpower the room, even on a lower setting. Keep in mind that larger fans will also tend to have higher CFM due to the surface area, but that doesn’t always translate to air velocity. Our engineering team created a contoured, aerodynamic blade design for our SureSpeed ceiling fans that push air more efficiently compared to standard flat blades. Our SureSpeed precision blades produce a more uniform and smooth flow of cooling air instead of chopping or cutting through the air like the traditional flat blade. The number of blades on the fan isn’t necessarily an indicator of ceiling fan airflow, but the ceiling fan blade pitch (or fan blade angle) and shape can impact airflow. Pro Tip: To calculate airflow efficiency, divide the CFM by the energy (measured in watts) needed for operating the fan at the high-speed setting.įactors that determine ceiling fan airflow and velocity Fan blade shape and pitch We measured and designed our SureSpeed® ceiling fans based on airflow instead of CFM because airflow more directly translates to what you feel from a fan. Ceiling fans work by using the “wind chill effect” to cool people – and the faster the air comes from the fan, the cooler you’ll feel. It’s a lot like when you have the window open in a moving car. Hunter ceiling fans still produce high CFM ratings. We optimize our fans’ motors and blade pitch to move a lot of air while consuming less energy. What is a good airflow for a ceiling fan? So, if fan size and CFM doesn’t always translate to a cooler you – than what does? Let us break it down for you. So, if they turned off the central air, you wouldn’t feel the coolness you desire. Yet, the air you feel isn’t coming from that fan, it’s from a central air system. Think about when you’re at a gym, Costco, or Walmart – those big fans have a higher CFM than your fan at home. ![]() Simply put: CFM measures how much air is being moved while air velocity measures how fast it moves. The bigger the fan and greater CFM, doesn’t always translate to a cooler you. Airflow relates to the speed of the air movement, measured using miles per hour (mph).The testing measures are based on the Department of Energy’s (DOE) idea of average daily fan use. The bigger the fan, the more CFM. Our lab technicians measure a fan’s CFM when it's running on high and low speed, then calculate the average. CFM measures the volume of air a fan moves in cubic feet.The first thing to understand when evaluating which ceiling fan moves the most air and will cool you best is the difference between CFM and velocity. While CFM does talk about the air in relation to the fan, there are many more factors that go into a fan to produce the best airflow. There’s nothing like the feeling of a cool breeze from a fan during a summer day. To achieve it, you need a ceiling fan that moves the most air. When choosing the right fan, some look at the CFM (cubic feet per minute) number on the box or online product page. ![]() ![]() ![]() We made this book together… although, of course, I had to do that horrible 12 weeks of doing nothing else and sleeping five hours a night in order to ultimately pull it all together with all the pictures the book is beautifully designed.

In some cases a VIN check will provide requestors with a car's accident history and information about whether the vehicle manufacturer has recalled it. The search results of a VIN check will typically include information on the car's make, model, and year, as well as its current owner and previous owners. Once confirmed, the requesting party can enter the number into the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database or through third-party-owned alternatives. They may also be located on other parts of the vehicle, such as the engine, chassis, or on the vehicle's registration documents. To do a VIN lookup, the requesting party will need the car's vehicle identification number, which is typically embossed on a vehicle's dashboard or driver's side door pillar. VIN lookup services are also offered by third-party aggregate sites and, to some degree, state DMVs. In the US, the Department of Transportation maintains an online resource with which individuals, car dealerships, insurance companies, and law enforcement agencies can decode and look up VIN numbers. ![]() Unlike a license plate lookup which is useful for ascertaining plate number availability and the personal information of the vehicle owner, a VIN check will often provide vehicle-centric information. This number is unique to each vehicle and can be used to track down information about the car's history, such as ownership records, insurance information, and accident reports. A VIN lookup is a process whereby the identity of a vehicle is ascertained through its Vehicle Identification Number. ![]() ![]() Strain into a coupe or rocks glass with ice, salt rim optional. agave syrup (equal parts agave nectar and water) Preparation Combine everything in a cocktail shaker, add ice, and shake.

The ultimate conservation success story continues for the other white rhino subspecies, the southern white. On a more positive note, continental black rhino numbers have increased to 3,725 as a whole, a rise of 3.2% over the last two years: this from an all time low of 2,410 in 1995. Efforts to locate further animals continue, but we must now face the possibility that the subspecies may not recover to a viable level,” he continued. Restricted in the wild to Garamba National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, recent ground and aerial surveys conducted under the direction of African Parks Foundation and the AfRSG have only found four animals. “Also the northern white rhino is on the very brink of being lost. “As a result this subspecies has been tentatively declared as extinct,” says Dr Martin Brooks, AfRSG chairman.

Hauer died last year at 75.īloober has been focusing its efforts on psychological horror games since the release of 2016’s Layers of Fear. Rutger Hauer ( Blade Runner, The Hitcher) voiced Daniel Lazarski in Observer. The game is set in the year 2084, and players assume the role of a detective, called an Observer, tasked with hacking the minds of criminals and their victims. The original Observer was released in 2017 for Linux, Mac, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC (a Nintendo Switch port arrived in 2019). On Twitter and YouTube, Bloober Team posted a short teaser video titled “Incoming Call.” The “signature” for that video references Chiron Incorporated, the corporation/governing body featured in the first Observer, and includes a message in binary that reads, “Daniel, are you there?” - seemingly a reference to Daniel Lazarski, the protagonist of that game. The psychological-horror game developer behind Layers of Fear, Observer, and Blair Witch teased a new project on Thursday, with all signs pointing to Observer 2 (or whatever the creators at Bloober Team choose to call the sequel). ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the biggest downsides of all-electric vehicles is “range anxiety,” or the fear that you won’t have a high enough charge to make the distance from one charging station to another, heightened by the lack of electric car charging stations in some areas. Admittedly, maintenance costs can vary depending on the type of hybrid car you have, so make sure to do a bit of research on the specific make and model! You won’t experience “range anxiety” with a hybrid car This often means less need for oil or coolant, and fewer routine maintenance costs than cars that rely solely on combustion fuel engines. (Author’s note: have you seen the episode of The Office where Andy pins Dwight up between the fence and his car? He’s able to sneak up and catch him off guard because, as Oscar points out, a Toyota Prius remains completely silent when driven under five miles per hour.) Hybrid cars often require less maintenanceīecause hybrid cars have two sources of power (the gas engine and the electric motor), there is less regular wear and tear on the car’s engine. had to pass laws to require both hybrids and electric vehicles to make audible sounds when traveling at certain speeds because of safety concerns. Hybrid cars are much quieter than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles thanks to their electric motors. Before you purchase a hybrid car, also check to see if there are any state or local incentives available to help decrease your costs even further. (Note: regular hybrids are not eligible for this incentive). Depending on your tax status and the type of car you choose, you can save as much as $7,500 with this incentive. In addition to savings on gasoline, the federal government currently offers a favorable tax credit if you purchase a plug-in hybrid vehicle. For some numbers, take a look at Edmund’s “Gas Guzzler” calculator: this can help estimate how much you can save on gas by switching to a hybrid based on your state, the car, and how many miles you drive. However, it can be difficult to estimate just how much you can save since savings depend heavily on your own driving habits, your reliance on gas for power, your area, and more. With a hybrid vehicle, you can avoid making frequent trips to the gas station and paying high charges to fill up your tank thanks to efficient engines and the option to switch to electricity for fuel. If you’re curious about what this means for you, check out this tool from the Department of Energy (DOE): they have an interactive tool that displays the annual emissions per vehicle based on a state’s electricity mix. your electricity mix) impacts your overall transportation emissions, known as well-to-wheel emissions. That said, how environmentally friendly your commute is in a hybrid car will vary depending on where your electricity comes from: while more and more of our electricity comes from renewables each year, fossil fuels continue to generate the majority of electricity throughout the country. When doing so, you will have no direct tailpipe emissions. However, if you buy a hybrid, it’s pretty likely that you’ll also use electricity to run your car, especially if you buy a plug-in hybrid. If you run your hybrid car solely on gasoline, you’ll still emit greenhouse gases from your tailpipe, but less so than you would with gasoline-only counterparts because they’re more fuel-efficient–some hybrids allow for more than 50 miles per gallon! This means you’ll use less gas to travel the same distance, and therefore emit less pollution. With hybrid cars, you have two options for fuel: gasoline or electricity. Even before the gasoline hits your engine, extracting the fuel to use as energy has a number of environmental costs to consider as well. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a typical passenger vehicle emits 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, plus other pollutants like methane and nitrous oxide – all greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Over time, this can have a large impact on the environment: according to the U.S. There are many negative environmental impacts of using gasoline-powered vehicles: for one, these cars emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases straight from their tailpipes.
