Received: 21 April 2018; Accepted: 15 May 2018; Published: 25 May 2018 �� Abstract: Research on nanotechnology application in the oil and gas industry has been growing rapidly in the past decade, as evidenced by the number of scientific articles published in the field. With oil and gas reserves harder to find, access, and produce, the pursuit of more game-changing technologies that can address the challenges of the industry has stimulated this growth. Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the petroleum industry both upstream and downstream, including exploration, drilling, production, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR), as well as refinery processes. It provides a wide range of alternatives for technologies and materials to be utilized in the petroleum industry. Nanoscale materials in various forms such as solid composites, complex fluids, and functional nanoparticle-fluid combinations are key to the new technological advances. This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on the application of nanoparticles and technology in the petroleum industry, and focuses on enhanced oil recovery. We briefly summarize nanotechnology application in exploration and reservoir characterization, drilling and completion, production and stimulation, and refinery. Thereafter, this paper focuses on the application of nanoparticles in EOR. The different types of nanomaterials, e.g., silica, aluminum oxides, iron oxide, nickel oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, polymers, and carbon nanotubes that have been studied in EOR are discussed with respect to their properties, their performance, advantages, and disadvantages. We then elaborate upon the parameters that will affect the performance of nanoparticles in EOR, and guidelines for promising recovery factors are emphasized. The mechanisms of the nanoparticles in the EOR processes are then underlined, such as wettability alteration, interfacial tension reduction, disjoining pressure, and viscosity control. The objective of this review is to present a wide range of knowledge and expertise related to the nanotechnology application in the petroleum industry in general, and the EOR process in particular. The challenges and future research directions for nano-EOR are pinpointed. Keywords: nanotechnology; nanoparticle; petroleum; enhanced oil recovery; recovery mechanism; wettability alteration; interfacial tension reduc.

Applications of Epidemiology – A Case Study The situation at Good Health Hospital has become a bit overwhelming ever since the outbreak of E. coli in Ward 10 on the second floor. It appears that there are six (6) cases of the disease. To better understand the situation, communication with the CDC has revealed that this particular bacterium can be found in many everyday items. The CDC recommends that investigation begins in the hospital kitchens, since E. coli can be transmitted via contaminated vegetables, as well as delicatessen meats such as salami and other cold cuts. The following table shows the number of cases identified so far: Case Age Gender 1 23 M 2 21 F 3 15 M 4 42 F After meeting yesterday with chief administrator Joe Wellborn, it has been decided that the litigation issues with one (1) of the patients may need further information to determine if the patient was already symptomatic with the bacteria prior to admission. Research has indicated that hospitals operating in the Tampa Bay area have been known to have cases of E. coli contamination. This substantiates the need for further investigations by the County Health Department. Due to the severity of the cases, and the potential for further spread, it is recommended that the hospital seek alternate vending services since the present suppliers cannot verify sanitation protocols for their products. In conclusion, the study done at Good Health Hospital has indicated that the E. coli outbreak was in fact caused by spoil food from the cafeteria. As a social science researcher working for a regional hospital, you are placed in charge of contacting the DOH from your home state, as well as the CDC for statistical data on nosocomial diseases that frequently cause illness at your health care facility. Using information from both agencies, evaluate the data on common nosocomial diseases and compile a treatment contingency plan for dealing with the hospital infections. Write a five to six (5-6) page evaluation report in which you: Analyze Good Health Hospital’s records and itemize recent nosocomial infections that occurred within the past year. In your report, categorize the different parameters (i.e., person, time, place, ethnicity, and gender) used in the compilation of data into the information summative. Propose at least six (6) questions for the health care administrator at Good Health Hospital, regarding potential litigation issues with infections from the nosocomial diseases. Rationalize, in your report, the logic behind your six (6) questions. Identify a targeted audience within Good Health Hospital, and prepare an implementation plan based on your hypothetical meeting with the hospital health care administrator. Propose four (4) steps that will be useful in the final implementation plan. Suggest at least five (5) recommendations to your department head based on the steps taken in the implementation plan. Provide rationale for your suggestions. Using these approved r.

Application: Federal Statutes and the Impact of Legislative Bills A statute provides the written process that transforms a bill from a static piece of legislation to action. Enacting a statute is more complicated than simply having the legislature vote on and approve it. Once a member of Congress introduces a bill, it is sent to various House and Senate committees and subcommittees, any of which may edit, add to, amend, or “kill” the bill at any point. Therefore, only a small fraction of the bills submitted for consideration are passed into law. If a bill passes through the committees, it will be presented for a floor debate and full vote of both houses of Congress. Then, it must be signed into law by the President. After they are voted on and signed into law, bills are then subject to interpretation and analysis by the judicial system regarding how they apply to specific legal problems and cases. To prepare for this assignment: Review the assigned pages of Chapter 3 in your course text, Principles of Legal Research . Focus on sources of and research methods for locating enacted federal legislation. Review Chapter 4 in your course text, Principles of Legal Research . Think about the legislative process and how to research pending legislation. Select a policy issue that interests you. Use the LexisNexis Academic database in the Walden library, and search for current statutes that may impact the policy issue you selected. Use the source United States Code Service – Titles 1 through 50 , located in the Federal & State Codes section of the Legal tab. Access “The Library of Congress: THOMAS” website and search for current bills that may impact the policy issue you selected. The assignment: (2–3 pages) Briefly describe the issue you selected. Describe two or three federal statutes that relate to the issue and explain how each does so. Describe one current legislative bill related to the issue, and explain how it might impact the law or policy related to the issue if passed. Be specific.

Application: Social Class In the Discussion, you addressed how constructionism influenced your racial and ethnic identities. The concept of social class is also based on or influenced by constructionism. Social class categorizes people according to their level of importance in society. According to the constructionist approach, social processes, such as political, legal, economic, and other outside influences help to categorize you as one class or another. Since outside influences change over time, designations of social class may change over time as well. When you think of social class, you may think of wealth or power. These attributes do influence social class and will be addressed further in Week 3. Characteristics of race, such as skin color, also can influence social class. In some cultures, people may be assigned to a social class based on their skin, hair, or eye color. For example, in a culture in which white people are considered to be in a higher social class than dark people, the class of people in between may be based on the darkness of their skin, with light-skinned black people being considered in a higher class than dark-skinned black people. In a Native American society, a dark-haired person may be considered to be in a higher social class than a light-haired person. Dark hair matches expectations of appearance for members of a particular tribe. Categorizing individuals by social class can lead to conflicts in defining racial and ethnic identities. In Reading 4, June grapples with such a conflict and must revisit the definition of what it means to be Indian. To prepare for this assignment: Review the Readings 1, 4, and 6 in the course text, The Meaning of Difference. Pay particular attention to social class and the biological definitions of race and ethnicity. Think of an historical example of how social class has changed over time. Identify the major conflict in June's scenario in Reading 4. Think about the consistencies and inconsistencies in June's approach to solving the conflict. Consider the impact of social class on June's logic. The assignment (1–2 pages): Describe an historical example of how social class has changed over time. Then explain how social class changed in the example, and what caused it to change. Describe the major conflict in June's scenario. Explain the consistencies and inconsistencies in June's approach to solving the conflict. Analyze the impact of social class on June's logic. .

Application: Role and Value of Evaluation The United Nations, the American Red Cross, and other international disaster response organizations worked together to care for the trauma survivors after a series of four devastating hurricanes smashed into Haiti one after another, before communities had time to regroup from the previous ones. Then the 2010 massive earthquake struck the island. The poverty in Haiti complicated responder effectiveness and may have compounded survivor trauma because residents had few resources. While back to back disasters may make it difficult to evaluate crisis management plans, they point to the importance of learning what worked and what went wrong. Once a disaster has occurred, the evaluation process includes a review of what was effective in the response as well as what was not effective. Learning and improved insights from a disaster can require making strategic changes in an organization or community. Last week you encountered new procedures for disaster transportation recovery, such as design-build, that can change the manner in which communities recover from disasters. Organizations can take a lesson from this change in thinking and creativity and look at innovative practices for strategic planning and recovery. Therefore, evaluation is a key element in crisis management planning and recovery. To prepare for this assignment : Review Chapter 17 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies , focusing on systems overviews and the Principles of a Crisis Intervention Ecosystem. Consider the value of ongoing plan evaluation. Review the Appendix and Chapters 5 and 9 in your course text, Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape , focusing on organizational learning and evaluation of crisis management plans. Review the article, "Program Evaluation: The Accountability Bridge Model for Counselors." Consider how counselors can use program evaluation to enhance accountability to stakeholders. Review recent crises and/or disasters online and think about what can be learned about crisis management from them. The assignment: (2-3 pages) Provide an analysis of the role and value of evaluation as part of a crisis management plan. Provide specific examples to illustrate your arguments. .

Application of Nursing Theory to Practice What would _(Place any nurse theorist or theory here)_ do? Case Study: Abigail Goldberg is a 46-year-old female who has recently been admitted to the hospital after falling down the stairs and breaking her ankle. Her ankle has been repaired with an open reduction and fixation device. Currently she has unable to bear weight on that extremity. Physical Therapy is working with Mrs. Goldberg to assist her in advancing her mobility. While talking to Mrs. Goldberg the nurse finds out that she has been experiencing muscle weakness in her legs for the last two months. She has a history of scoliosis and believed the weakness was due to an “alignment” problem. Upon admission Mrs. Goldberg has bilateral weakness in her lower legs. You are unable to assess her gait due to the fractured ankle, but she states she has been “unsteady on her feet for the last few weeks”. Upon further history taking you find out her appetite has diminished over the last three weeks, she states she is hungry but when she tries to eat she fatigues easily then quickly losses her appetite. She has lost 10 pounds in the “few” months and now weighs 120lbs. Her CBC and CMP are within normal limits with the exception of mild anemia with an H&H of 11.5 and 32.9. Testing is currently being undertaken for a definitive diagnosis of the weakness that lead to Mrs. Goldberg’s fall. Her physician strongly believes she experiencing symptoms common for multiple sclerosis. The physician has shared this with Mrs. Goldberg. The physician has ordered further blood work to evaluate any elevation in antibodies. The physician has also ordered a CT scan and a spinal tap to assist with making the final diagnosis. Mrs. Goldberg has no other significant medical history. She takes only a multi-vitamin daily. She has never had surgery. She has three children, all girls, ages 18, 15, and 11. The girls are very active and rely on Mrs. Goldberg to take them to most of their extracurricular events. The oldest has just started college and this is the first time any of her children will live away from home. She has been looking forward to traveling to her daughter’s college for visits. Her religious preference is Judaism. Her family of origin practices Conservative Judaism. While Mrs. Goldberg participates in religious holiday celebrations she does not actively practice Judaism nor does she attend temple regularly. Mrs. Goldberg has been married 5 years to her second husband and states they have a “good relationship” but that they “have not been intimate for 2 months” because she has not been feeling well. Mrs. Goldberg was married to her first husband for 15 years. That marriage ended in divorce after she discovered her first husband was gay. When the nurse enters Mrs. Goldberg’s room to discuss the plan for the shift and day the nurse observes Mrs. Goldberg’s affect to be sad. She sta.

Application of Applied Behavior Analysis to Mental Health Issues Mark T. Harvey Florida Institute of Technology James K. Luiselli The May Institute, Inc. Stephen E. Wong Florida International University The theoretical and conceptual basis for behavior analysis emerged from the fields of experimental psychology, physiology, and philosophy, effectively melding theory with scientific rigor. Behavior analysis has since expanded from controlled laboratories into applied settings, including hospitals, clinics, schools, family homes, and communities. Much of the early research in applied behavior analysis (ABA) included participants with mental health disorders and developmental disabilities. ABA research for persons with developmental disabilities is vibrant and expansive; however, there is a paucity of recent research in behavior analytic assessment and treatment for persons with mental health diagnoses. This article describes how ABA technology can advance mental health services for children and adults utilizing a multidisciplinary approach to link professionals from psychology, psychiatry, and other associated disciplines to optimize patient outcomes. Discussion focuses on historic applications of behavior analysis, opportunities, and barriers in the mental health field, and ways in which ABA can contribute to a multidisciplinary treatment approach. Keywords: applied behavior analysis, functional behavior assessment, functional analysis, contingency management, acceptance and commitment therapy The etiology of mental illness is believed to be a complex interaction between genetics, physiology, neurobiology, and environmental factors that lead to psychological, physiologi- cal, and/or behavioral changes. When these de- viations differ significantly from societal norms and interfere with one’s ability to function in daily life, the person may be diagnosed with a mental disorder (American Psychiatric Associ- ation, 2000). Often a licensed physician, psy- chiatrist, or psychologist assesses an individual, diagnoses a mental disorder, and then desig- nates a treatment plan for that individual. Al- though an interdisciplinary approach, wherein representatives from various disciplines such as medicine, psychiatry, clinical psychology, neu- roscience, education, social work, and behavior analysis convene to devise a treatment plan would be preferable, the logistics and resources required limit this practice to select clinical facilities. We posit that behavior analysis, which includes refined techniques for teaching and motivating adaptive behavior, should be an integral part of a multidisciplinary approach to mental health services. Combining technologies derived from behavior analysis and other disciplines could broaden our understanding of mental disorders, expand the range of available in- terventions, and improve therapeutic outcomes and client satisfaction. This article briefly examines early applied behavior analysis (ABA) resear.

Application: Formal and Informal Networks Human services is about collaboration and cooperation. For human services to be successful, many different systems and agencies need to work together to ensure that clients' needs are met. The working relationships that are formed as a result can be considered networks, and are classified as either formal or informal. On a formal level, administrators of a shelter may work hand-in-hand with a job placement center to help clients find employment. This formal network involves connections with government agencies, schools, businesses, and other human services agencies. An informal network, by contrast, is maintained not by official policy but by personal and preexisting relationships that professionals and agencies have built over time. For instance, a case manager may use his or her influence to help a client get an extra bus ticket to attend church on Wednesdays. By working together effectively, these formal and informal human services networks can form a cohesive unit that benefits both clients and human services professionals. To prepare for this assignment: Review Chapter 8 in your course text, An Introduction to Human Services, paying particular attention to the ways in which human services professionals work within formal and informal networks and how these networks work together within and among agencies. Review the article, "Building a Coalition of Non-Profit Agencies to Collaborate with a County Health and Human Services Agency: The Napa County Behavioral Health Committee of the Napa Coalition of Non-Profits." Think about the formal and informal networks the Napa County agencies are using collaboratively to provide comprehensive human services to county residents. Read the case study of Helping Hands, provided in the Learning Resources for this week. Identify the formal and informal networks within this agency and among the other agencies and systems that CASA would work with. Also think about how these two types of networks would work together in the human services delivery system. The assignment: (2–3 pages) Based on the case study provided, briefly describe the formal and informal networks within the CASA agency and among other agencies and systems that CASA would engage with. Then explain how these two types of networks, formal and informal, work together in human services delivery. Be specific and provide examples to illustrate.

Application: Double Consciousness and Avoiding Stigma Double consciousness, covering, and passing are all ways in which people respond to stigma. Double consciousness is seeing yourself through the eyes of a critical observer. For example, Arthur Ashe, a professional tennis player in the 1960s and 1970s, experienced double consciousness when he saw his daughter playing with a white doll. He saw himself both as a father who wanted his daughter to enjoy herself and as a black father, who was concerned about the perception the black community might have if they were to view his daughter's behavior in public. He was aware or conscious of two selves, his inner self, which is not critiqued by the outside world, and the self that represented the stigma of being black during this time in history. He was faced with an identity conflict. Should he allow his daughter's behavior and identify with his inner self, or should he ask her to change her behavior and avoid the discomfort of his potentially stigmatized self? People can avoid stigma in two ways: covering or passing. Families who are involved in transracial adoptions often feel the effects of double consciousness and are confronted with a dilemma similar to the one faced by Arthur Ashe. To prepare for this assignment: Review the "Framework Essay" in Section II and Readings 22 and 23 in the course text. Pay particular attention to the concepts of covering, double consciousness, and stigma. Review the article and video clip, "Mother and Son Offer Transracial Adoption Insights." Focus on the pros and cons of transracial adoption. Think about how families involved in transracial adoptions relate to the concept of double consciousness. Think about the advantages and disadvantages of covering and passing as a means of handling stigma related to race or identity. Consider how covering and passing can be used to both cause and resolve individual identity conflicts. The assignment (1–2 pages): Describe the concerns held by adoptive parents and adopted children in transracial families. Explain how these concerns relate to the concept of double consciousness. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of covering and passing. Address how they can be used to both cause and resolve identity conflicts. .

Application Case Appraising the Secretaries at Sweetwater U Rob Winchester, newly appointed vice president for administrative affairs at Sweetwater State University, faced a tough problem shortly after his university career began. Three weeks after he came on board in September, Sweetwater’s president, Rob’s boss, told Rob that one of his first tasks was to improve the appraisal system used to evaluate secretarial and clerical performance at Sweetwater U. The main difficulty was that the performance appraisal was traditionally tied directly to salary increases given at the end of the year. Therefore, most administrators were less than accurate when they used the graphic rating forms that were the basis of the clerical staff evaluation. In fact, what usually happened was that each administrator simply rated his or her clerk or secretary as “excellent.” This cleared the way for them to receive a maximum pay raise every year. But the current university budget simply did not include enough money to fund another “maximum” annual raise for every staffer. Furthermore, Sweetwater’s president felt that the custom of providing invalid feedback to each secretary on his or her year’s performance was not productive, so he had asked the new vice president to revise the system. In October, Rob sent a memo to all administrators, telling them that in the future no more than half the secretaries reporting to any particular administrator could be appraised as “excellent.” This move, in effect, forced each supervisor to begin ranking his or her secretaries for quality of performance. The vice president’s memo met widespread resistance immediately—from administrators, who were afraid that many of their secretaries would begin leaving for more lucrative jobs, and from secretaries, who felt that the new system was unfair and reduced each secretary’s chance of receiving a maximum salary increase. A handful of secretaries had begun picketing outside the president’s home on the university campus. The picketing, caustic remarks by disgruntled administrators, and rumors of an impending slowdown by the secretaries (there were about 250 on campus) made Rob Winchester wonder whether he had made the right decision by setting up forced ranking. He knew, however, that there were a few performance appraisal experts in the School of Business, so he decided to set up an appointment with them to discuss the matter. He met with them the next morning. He explained the situation as he had found it: The current appraisal system had been set up when the university first opened 10 years earlier. A committee of secretaries had developed it. Under that system, Sweetwater’s administrators filled out forms similar to the one shown in Table 9-2. This once-a-year appraisal (in March) had run into problems almost immediately, since it was apparent from the start that administrators varied widely in their interpretations of job standards, as well as in how conscientiously they filled out the f.

Application: Collective Action for Social Movements For every historical figure known for making significant, if not revolutionary, shifts in society, there were many people working in support of addressing the same social issue. It is a disservice to the person and his or her peer activists to ignore the many individual contributions that result in and depend on social change. Having a good understanding of the history of social movements is essential to creating social change today. For this assignment, you explore an example of social change from history and consider the individual and collective roles involved. To prepare for this Assignment: Read Loeb’s reflection on Rosa Parks (2010, p. 1) in the Learning Resources for an example of individual versus collective efforts to promote social change. Use the Walden Library to research and locate an article on one of the following social movements: African American civil rights, Chicano movement, American Indian or ”Red Power” movement, women’s rights, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) rights, or disability rights. As you review selected resources, look for both direct and indirect references to the human resources required to transform this issue into a movement. The Assignment: Write a 2-page analysis responding to the following questions: What did the collective effort accomplish that an individual could not? In what ways does group involvement cause these movements to be sustainable or have long-lasting impact? Include one reference from your selected resources on a social movement and two references from this week’s Learning Resources using proper APA citation. Submit your Assignment by Day 7 . In order to receive full credit, all assignments are due on time.

APPLICATION 2.4 Projectile motion About 400 yr ago, the physicist Galileo observed that certain projectiles follow a parabolic path. For instance, if a cannon fires a shell at a 30 degree angle with a speed of 250 feet per second, then the path of the shell is modeled by the equation , where h is the elevation of the shell trajectory and d is the corresponding horizontal distance from the cannon when the elevation is h. 1. Does the graph of this equation open up or down? How did you determine this? 2. Describe what happens to the projectile as time passes. 3. Use the quadratic equation to determine at what distance from the cannon the shell hits the ground. 4. Will the shell be at a high point or be at a low point at the middle of the trajectory? How do you know? 5. What is the highest elevation the shell will attain? 6. When the shell is at its highest, how far (horizontally) will it be from the cannon? 7. What is the point of the vertex? How does this number relate to your answers in parts e. and f? 8. How many solutions are there to the equation ? How do you know? 9. What do the solutions represent?

A design methodology helps as it provides a way in which the whole designing and development can be done with minimum errors. The design methodology helps in identifying the requirements, the specifications and design levels of the database and data warehouse up for development. The planning stage of the consolidated data base is very important as it involves the coming up with plans that will guide the development of the database (Mabogunje, 2015). The plans help in managing quality, time, risks and other related issues that might affect the design and development of the database and eventually the data warehouse. The three layers of the 3-level ANSI-SPARC architecture include; a physical schema which is responsible for defining how data is to be stored, a conceptual schema which is responsible for indexing and relating data, and the external schema which is responsible for showing how informatio.
