Deliverable objectives. This research aims at contributing to our understanding whether firms improve efficiency and productivity as a reaction to intensified import competition.
Deliverable objectives. The deliverable D3.5 – Performance Testing Tools Final Iteration is the description of the second release of the Performance Test tool as output of the Task 3.1. This report contains the first version of the F- interop Performance Test Tool CoAP Server and the required key enablers needed.
Deliverable objectives. The objectives of the Summer Challenges are:
(1) to attract the young students to a university, and possibly to entertain a career in STEM degrees – to do this we decided to show the students what the university looks like, and in particular what degrees such as Chemical, Mechanical and Biochemical Engineering offer; and
(2) to openly discuss the technology of hydraulic fracturing, the potential environmental footprint of the shale gas, and possible remediation measures.
Deliverable objectives. The Executive Committee is the decision-making body of the Consortium, and shall consist of one representative of each Partner. The responsibilities of the Executive Committee include:
i. overseeing all project programme activities
ii. approving interim bi-annual technical and financial progress reports produced using the project report template and submission of 18th months reports to the Commission
iii. review progress in relation to the previously agreed milestones, and deal with unforeseen circumstances that may require the review of the project deliverables
iv. reallocating project funds between partners if needed as approved by its members.
Deliverable objectives. 1.2.1 Work package Objectives • Research and develop performance test tools. • Research and develop tools for privacy risk assessment • Research and develop spatial representing tools to support experimenters. • Research and integrate testing tools with network virtualization technologies such as OpenFlow / OpenDayLight based SDN / NFV environments.
Deliverable objectives. A study for publication in a peer-reviewed journal will be undertaken, as previously published work does not sufficiently address the issue.
1. Estimate total cost of care for intestinal failure (IF), combining:
a. In-hospital care
b. Home- and community-based care
c. Lost productivity
2. Estimation of these costs to the patient/family and to the health care system/insurers (3rd parties) The cost of intestinal transplantation will not be assessed, as its cost is described in the literature and its availability limited.1,2
Deliverable objectives. According to the project description, the objective of deliverable 8.3 states as ‘A specific set of guidelines will be developed gathering the knowledge, experience and best practice for managing leakage events for each technology. Specifically identifying a range of different failure modes and how they would be detected and the protocols following each type of event’. This document meets the objective by covering various life stages of a plant for each of the different subsurface techniques including: Design to Production Test Stage Operation and Maintenance Stage Closure/Decommissioning/Post-transfer Stage The authors would like to specifically acknowledge S4CE field site partners such as United Downs Deep Geothermal Power Project site at Cornwall, UK, St.Galler Stadtwerke site at St. Gallen, Switzerland and Carbfix CCUS site at Iceland, for providing valuable inputs pertaining to management of leakage events for sub-surface geo energy operations.
Deliverable objectives. Development and validation of an equation of state for confined fluids rooted to rigorous statistical mechanics.
Deliverable objectives. Enhanced oil/gas recovery in shale production largely depends on the understanding of pore networks and fluid flow through such network. Advanced Imaging techniques, e.g. synchrotron tomographic imaging and focus ion beam imaging, will push the existing limits. Moreover, combined with careful experiments and modelling approaches, the fluid behaviours in narrow pores will be fully addressed. The specific objectives are
1) To characterise the pore system which confines the fluid behaviours using imaging techniques (presented in D3.1 & 3.2, and new aspects here)
2) To determine the fluid behaviour (gas and water) in the confined pores using direct permeability measurements.
3) To estimate the methane flow behaviour in the pores with different chemical compositions using modelling methods. The data extracted from these objectives will be useful for other work packages such as WP02, WP04 and WP06. For example, the imaging quantification for pores, permeability test for argon and water, flow simulation for methane.
Deliverable objectives. Enhanced oil/gas recovery in shale production largely depends on the understanding of the pore networks and gas flow through these networks and fractures. Advanced Imaging techniques, for example, synchrotron tomographic imaging and focussed ion beam imaging, will push the existing limits. We performed a full traditional characterisation of microstructure in shale samples (Deliverable 3.1), and focus on building on this analysis using multi-scale 3D images of porous phase, pores and potential flow paths in this report. The objectives are to characterise:
1. the spatial distribution of the porous phases within shale samples at the micro-scale (i.e. size, connectivity);
2. the spatial distribution of pore system (i.e. location, size, connectivity) within shale samples at the nano-scale; and
3. identify the potential flow paths in pores and porous phases within shale samples, and after hydraulic fracturing experiments. The data generated will underpin WP02, WP04 and WP06. For example, the pore network and fracture pattern will be experimental inputs for flow simulation at the nanoscale (WP2) and macroscale (WP6). These results will also have a more broad impact on improved assessment of economic exploitation and environmental footprint of shale gas plays.
