Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 98

“…The problem is that lower oil revenues also affect industry, forcing operators to review their investment portfolios to focus on the best regimes and geological prospects.</p> <p>The region’s recent positive developments are taking place against a background where a large number of countries in the region (including Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guyana, and Suriname) have fallen out of favour with oil and gas investors, in some cases for a number of years. …”

Wear behaviour of NiTi shape memory alloys by Yan, Lina

“…Furthermore, the wear behaviour of the forged ingot Ni 48.2at% Ti SMA was studied in three temperature regimes where different phases were present, that is, fully martensitic phase when T < Mf, fully austenitic phase when Mf < T < Af, and martensitic phase coexisted with austenitic phase when T > Af. …”

Low-power high-performance SAR ADC with redundancy and digital error-correction by Sharma, Sunny

“…The demands for data converters have soared in the last decade with the boom in consumer electronics, smart devices, autonomous vehicles, and automotive segments. The current trend among Nyquist-rate data converters, for example successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADC), tends towards high speeds and medium-to-high resolution. …”

GPU-based commonsense reasoning for real-time query answering and multimodal analysis by Tran, Ha Nguyen

“…Secondly, in order to reason and retrieve information on rule-based knowledge bases, the thesis introduces gSparql, a fast and scalable inference and querying method on mass-storage RDF data with rule-based entailment regimes. Our approach accepts different rulesets and executes the reasoning process at query time when the inferred triples are determined by the set of triple patterns defined in the query. …”
