FIRST EXPERT ELICITATION OF KNOWLEDGE ON POSSIBLE DRIVERS OF OBSERVED INCREASING HUMAN CASES OF TICK-BORNE ENCEPHALITIS IN EUROPE

First Expert Elicitation of Knowledge on Possible Drivers of Observed Increasing Human Cases of Tick-Borne Encephalitis in Europe

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a viral disease endemic in Eurasia.The virus is mainly transmitted to humans via ORG CHIA SEEDS ticks and occasionally via the consumption of unpasteurized milk products.The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control reported an increase in TBE incidence over the past years in Europe as well as the emergence

Evaluation of gas condensate reservoir behavior using velocity dependent relative permeability during the numerical well test analysis

Gas condensate is one of the most different fluids in reservoir simulation due to retrograde condensation in case of pressure reduction.In this kind of fluids, two phenomena named negative inertia and positive coupling, become significant in the high velocity zone around the wellbore.In this study, a modified black oil simulator is developed that t

Analysis of high-field side plasma instabilities in tokamak edge

Balanced double-null configurations are of general interest for boundary plasma physics, and they Refrigerator have been proposed for some future designs.Experimental observations demonstrate absence of plasma fluctuations in tokamak high-field side scrape-off layer in a balanced double-null configuration (Smick et al., 2013), and it is commonly as
