El estudio de los yacimiento es muy particular en tanto que es invisible, complejo e imposible de medir directamente. La complejidad de los fluidos del yacimiento, junto a la complejidad del medio a traves del cual fluyen, hacen que el modelaje de los procesos que ocurren tanto en el yacimiento como en la linea de transmision a los tanques de almacenamiento se constituya en un reto tecnologico que exige las maximas capacidades de calculo actuales.La propiedades de los fluidos determinan el comportamiento de produccion del yacimiento, y es por ello que el objetivo de este libro es proporcionar a los estudiantes los elementos necesarios para que tengan un cabal entendimiento de las caracteristicas de los fluidos y de la manera como varian sus propiedades ante cambios de presion y temperatura.Aun cuando va dirigido a estudiantes e nivel de pregrado, el texto va bastante mas alla, ya que agrega a la teoria conocida un cumulo de experiencia y observaciones operacionales que redundan a su vez en recomendaciones practicas para realizar las operaciones, asi como para la evaluacion certera de las mediciones reportadas por el laboratorio y por los operario en las mediciones de campo

Fatigue of the pressurized fuselages of transport aircraft is a significant problem all builders and users of aircraft have to cope with for reasons associated with assuring a sufficient lifetime and safety, and formulating adequate inspection procedures. These aspects are all addressed in various formal protocols for creating and maintaining airworthiness, including damage tolerance considerations. In most transport aircraft, fatigue occurs in lap joints, sometimes leading to circumstances that threaten safety in critical ways. The problem of fatigue of lap joints has been considerably enlarged by the goal of extending aircraft lifetimes. Fatigue of riveted lap joints between aluminium alloy sheets, typical of the pressurized aircraft fuselage, is the major topic of the present book. The richly illustrated and well-structured chapters treat subjects such as: structural design solutions and loading conditions for fuselage skin joints; relevance of laboratory test results for simple lap joint specimens to riveted joints in a real structure; effect of various production and design related variables on the riveted joint fatigue behaviour; analytical and experimental results on load transmission in mechanically fastened lap joints; theoretical and experimental analysis of secondary bending and its implications for riveted joint fatigue performance; nucleation and shape development of fatigue cracks in riveted longitudinal lap joints; overview of experimental investigations into the multi-site damage for full scale fuselage panels and riveted lap joint specimens; fatigue crack growth and fatigue life prediction methodology for riveted lap joints; residual strength predictions for riveted lap joints in a fuselage structure. The major issues of each chapter are recapitulated in the last section.

This monograph and translation from the Russian describes in detail and comments on the fundamentals of metrology. The basic concepts of metrology, the principles of the International System of Units SI, the theory of measurement uncertainty, the new methodology of estimation of measurement accuracy on the basis of the uncertainty concept, as well as the methods for processing measurement results and estimating their uncertainty are discussed from the modern position. It is shown that the uncertainty concept is compatible with the classical theory of accuracy. The theory of random uncertainties is supplemented with their most general description on the basis of generalized normal distribution; the instrumental systematic errors are presented in connection with the methodology of normalization of the metrological characteristics of measuring instruments. The information about modern systems of traceability is given. All discussed theoretical principles and calculation methods are illustrated with examples.

To survive and thrive in the competition, firms have strived to achieve greater supply chain collaboration to leverage the resources and knowledge of suppliers and customers. Internet based technologies, particularly interorganizational systems, further extend the firms'' opportunities to strengthen their supply chain partnerships and share real-time information to optimize their operations. "Supply Chain Collaboration: Roles of Interorganizational Systems, Trust, and Collaborative Culture" explores the nature and characteristics, antecedents, and consequences of supply chain collaboration from multiple theoretical perspectives. "Supply Chain Collaboration: Roles of Interorganizational Systems, Trust, and Collaborative Culture" conceptualizes supply chain collaboration as seven interconnecting elements including information sharing, incentive alignment, goal congruence, decision synchronization, resource sharing, as well as communication and joint knowledge creation. These seven components define the occurrence of collaborative efforts and allow us to explain supply chain collaboration more precisely. Collaborative advantages are also divided into five components to capture the joint competitive advantages and benefits among supply chain partners. The definitions and measures developed here examine some central issue surrounding supply chain development but this is also followed up with real-life managerial practicalities. This balance of theory and practical application makes "Supply Chain Collaboration: Roles of Interorganizational Systems, Trust, and Collaborative Culture" a strong resource for industry practitioners and researchers alike.
