Surrogacy is a form of assisted reproductive technology (A.R.T.) where a surrogate is contracted to carry a baby through pregnancy on behalf of the genetically link parents then return the baby to the intended parents once the baby is born.
In order to help make your dreams of starting a family come true, IVF-Surrogacy offers both gestational and traditional surrogacy options. The surrogacy programs we offer encompass surrogate selection, medical procedures and legal services designed specifically for intended parents based upon client wishes and medical recommendations. To start a family is a decision filled with love, inspired by hopes and dreams. For married couples who want to have children but are unable to conceive using the traditional method, surrogacy can provide a wonderful solution. For women who don't have a uterus or who have medical restrictions that could be complicated by carrying a pregnancy, and men who are affected by medical and genetic restrictions, surrogacy is a viable alternative for those who would like to have genetic offspring.
Because choosing a surrogate is a daunting process, IVF-Surrogacy is an agency dedicated to helping you navigate this complex world. We take all the guesswork out of the process of choosing a surrogate who is age-appropriate, physically and emotionally healthy, and is legally as low-risk as possible. We also make sure to help you choose a viable surrogate who has been pre-screened for illnesses like hepatitis and HIV. Our screening process for all surrogates is highly regulated and selective. Surrogate candidates must meet specific medical, physical and psychological requirements prior to being considered a viable participant for our selected programs. In addition to this selection process, surrogacy laws vary widely from country to country, and so it is important to choose an agency with a proven track-record of success. Our legal services are conducted by practicing attorneys that specialize in medical surrogacy, embassy regulations and international citizen law. With all our offered reproductive programs, your child is genetically and legally considered the child of the married couple whose embryo was transferred to the uterus of a surrogate mother. Our programs selected by clients, under the medical recommendations of doctors and fertility experts, ensures that the necessary legal processes encompass this method of treating infertility.
Our clients look to use surrogacy to start families for several reasons, and often, their search leads to additional queries resulting in questioning if surrogacy is right for them. To help in this process, we have identified general indicators that may assist in this decision process. General signs which indicate a surrogacy program may be needed for your and spouse include: Loss of uterus, compromised cavity or cervix, diseases in the father or mother that could be genetically transmitted to a child or may threaten the life of the mother during pregnancy, multiple unsuccessful attempts at reproductive procedures such as IVF, and severe somatic diseases. These various examples may be a strong indication that a married couple should consider a surrogacy program.
The surrogate programs offered by IVF-Surrogacy are conducted out of the Mother and Child medical center located in Kiev, Ukraine. Surrogate programs generally include the following process: choosing a surrogate, preparation of reproductive material, surrogate mother medical examinations, medical preparation of the surrogate mother, carrying out an IVF program, observation and appointments during the pregnancy, and medical procedures that coincide with the birth of your child. Surrogate program costs are determined by the Mother and Child reproductive medical centers. All payments for a recommended surrogacy program are made directly to Mother and Child. For United States clients, IVF-Surrogacy is the primary contact for all questions, updates and resources clients require for the duration of a selected surrogacy program. Assigning an in-country representative affords advantages to intended parents during the entire program. Examples of this service includes: facilitation of contracts, preparation for medical meetings and consultations, surrogate selection, transport logistics of reproductive material, progress reports, travel plans and lodging, and assistance in legal services. IVF-Surrogacy assists intended parents throughout the duration of a selected program by offering uncompromised service and support to see intended parents take their child home.
Conducting surrogacy programs in an ethical manner is one of the highest priorities for IVF-Surrogacy. The question of ethics for surrogacy procedures is strictly adhered to based upon the ruling of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE). This Society regards surrogate motherhood as a morally acceptable method for the treatment of infertility in married couples. The programs offered by IVF-Surrogacy adhered to not only the ESHRE, but also the ethical and medical moral conduct rulings of Mother and Child reproductive medical centers. Ultimately, the choice to use surrogacy is one that can only be answered by you and your spouse. If you determine surrogacy is right for your future family, or if you want additional information, contact us.
Let IVF-Surrogacy help you start a family and make your dreams come true.

It's always a good time to pick up a book, but August is a particularly great month for reading. During a vacation you have all sorts of downtime: traveling, working on your tan on the beach, staying in line in front of a museum, etc. Having something to read makes the time fly.So we gathered a bunch of books that we, the Qubiz Team, recommend. We kept in mind that during summer you might prefer lighter subjects, so we skipped the Microsoft Certification Exam guidebooks! Without further ado, let's see the titles:

19th century antique gold fox earrings set in 15k.
The fox is framed like an intaglio, debossed and showing its fur distinctly through delicate carvings. Such 'novelty' jewellery reflected the Victorian fondness for small humorous trinkets, which emerged in the late 1860s and continued into the new century.
However, the fox in jewellery is hardly a Victorian or feminine thing, long seen in hunting insignia and various other gathering clubs. Victorian fox-themed jewellery tend to present the traditional red fox.
The earrings are a petite pair and come to 15mm long.

In just a few days, one of the biggest rematches in the history of New York City Muay Thai will go down. Brett "The Threat" Hlavacek, representing Anderson's Martial Arts, is taking on Elijah "The Mayor" Clarke, of Renzo Gracie Muay Thai, at Lion Fight 40, held this Saturday February 3rd, at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. The two are considered among The Big Apple's most exciting fighters, and they are battling for the inaugural Lion Fight North American Light Heavyweight Title. It's an exciting prospect for both men, as they had originally fought on New York's local and well-established Friday Night Fights promotions, and are meeting once again on Lion Fight.
Achieving Glory: Elijah "The Mayor" Clarke
As talented as he is as a student, his skills as a coach are what make him stand out. Patient and reassuring, Elijah is a bringer of light and calm when he teaches. His close relationship with the other coaches and fighters is apparent when he comes to train...
A Fighter Inside and Outside of the Ring: Anne Lieberman
An activist. A motivator. A coach. An athlete. A friend. A humanitarian. A mentor. A fighter. Anne Lieberman wears many hats. A Muay Thai fighter and coach at Renzo Gracie Academy, she spends her evenings training to fight other women. A program officer on the Sexual Health and Rights team for the American Jewish World Service, she spends her days trying to help them.
Taking Over The World, One JiuJitsu Medal At A Time: Ida Fløisvik
The second-ever female Brazilian JiuJitsu black belt in Norway is only twenty-four years old. With short blonde hair, a striking face, and eyes that are steeled in determination, it is almost hard to believe that this lethal weapon is simply from a farm in the small town of Stavanger. Ida Fløisvik is good at surprising people, and even better at submitting them.
The Rise of Women in Muay Thai: Team Renzo Gracie
While female Muay Thai practitioners are not unusual, they are growing rapidly in population. With journalists and fighters prominently increasing awareness and education about the sport, it has become easier for interested parties to access information about it.

What is a sabbatical?
Traditionally a Sabbatical is a paid period of time off, gifted to long serving employees of a company. But the Touareg Sabbatical isn't your typical sabbatical. It's a sabbatical with purpose. There will be no practicing golf swings, sipping cocktails and sleeping late, the Touareg Sabbatical is all about giving back and getting an idea up and running..
Not at all, but it is going to be up to you to arrange 3 months leave with your company.
Volkswagen will be giving you an allowance to help you achieve your idea.
A Volkswagen Touareg, an allowance of R100k per month for the duration, access to promotional material to get your idea out there, and a camera crew to document your journey.
All you have to do is submit an idea that you have a burning desire to see come to life.
There will be an application process where you will be asked to give more thought to your Sabbatical, but to get the ball rolling, send your idea and we will be in touch.
With only one idea ultimately chosen there are going to be some disappointed people, but just because your idea hasn't been chosen for the first iteration of the Touareg Sabbatical, doesn't mean we won't be in touch to see how else we can help bring it to life in the future. But rest assured, your idea, remains your idea. We won't broadcast it to the world.
Applications will close on 28 February 2019
The Sabbatical needs to be taken as 3 continuous months between 1st March 2019 and 31st July 2019. We will discuss and agree exact dates with the chosen candidate.
Volkswagen will give you and allowance of R100,000 per month and there is a discretionary fund of R300,000 that you can apply for all or part of. The rest is up to you. We will help promote your idea on social and paid media platforms, but other than the above, fund raising is down to you.
Once you have submitted your initial application there will be a committee of Volkswagen SA stakeholders that will assess the ideas. If you are successful in this "first round" you will be contacted with next steps and asked to provide a bit more information. Full details of the process are available in the terms and conditions on this site.

That is to say, he had advanced so far ahead of everybody else that the rest of us lost track of him, and so we called him lost. Perhaps we got the use of the word twisted, and we were the lost ones because we hadn't kept up. He had gone where the Church was told to go, but the rest of us had lingered behind, and so the main column became detached from its leader. Everybody was talking about the lost leader.James Gordon Bennett, the owner of the New York Herald, sent a telegram to one of its correspondents, Henry M. Stanley. Bennett was in Paris, and Stanley at Gibraltar. The telegram summoned Stanley to come to Paris at once. Stanley went, reached Paris at midnight, knocked at the great newspaper-man's door, and asked what was wanted. "Find Livingstone," was the short, blunt reply. "How much money do you place at my disposal?" asked Stanley. "Fifty thousand dollars, or a larger sum. Never mind about the money; find Livingstone."Stanley went. It took two years' time to get ready. It required a specially planned campaign and thorough preparation. The planning was done, and the world was thrilled when the bold missionary leader was found.Our Master has sent a message to His Church. It is written down in a Book, and is being repeated by wireless messages constantly. He says, "Find my world, and bring it back; never mind about the expense of money and lives. Find my world and win it back." And the Church has the winning power to do it.

I fell in love with a dead man,
each bullet hole that riddled his body shaped my future.
The soils in which his bones were buried cried out for Justice,
so they dug him up.
Their hands remained red stained
so they peeled his remains off with acid,
But his ideals did nor corrode within us.
#RIP #PatriceLumumba
I fell in love with a dead man,
The father of an upright nation.
He wanted a clean sweep of country and mind
but got dealt an unbrotherly left hook and betrayal through a bullet.
He played songs of unity,
strumming a guitar to gain freedom from colonial cords.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner insists the key to improving Formula 1's ongoing problems with a wide performance spread between squads is to simplify engine and chassis technical rules to place more emphasis on drivers.
Since the introduction of the V6 Hybrid engine rules in F1 Mercedes has stormed to four straight world drivers' and constructors' championships and completely dominated the sport. While Ferrari and Red Bull have appeared to close the gap on the German manufacturer a clear performance jump between the top three teams and the rest of the F1 field has emerged.
When quizzed on how to make F1 more competitive Red Bull boss Horner has put his faith behind the proposed 2021 rule changes and is "all for simplification" for power unit and chassis regulations.
"For me the most damaging thing over the last five years has been the introduction of the current engine regulations," Horner said. "I think if you look at F1 as a whole, I think the regulations for both chassis and engine are too complicated. That drives cost, it drives complexity, it drives distance between the teams, so for me, I'd be all for simplification.
"Simplification of the power unit, simplification of the chassis, go back to basics of making the driver the biggest variable, whereas at the moment the driver is not a big enough variable."
Horner feels F1 needs to see drivers being able to the key differences in races rather than it largely being engine or car-dependent which will engage more with fans.
"We want the best drivers competing against each other," he said. "I think you're always going to get variances depending on the skillset of the teams, and even if the teams have all equal budgets, you will still have teams that will perform better than others. That's competition. We see it in other formulas."
F1 commercial rights holders Liberty Media are expected to present its new proposed rules ahead of the 2021 changes while managing director of motorsports Ross Brawn has laid out potential plans which include the removal of the MGU-H components, standardising energy stores and control electronics plus an easier 'Plug-and-Play' design integration between engine, chassis and transmission.

* Investors eye China March trade data
* Malaysia posts third straight session of losses
* Philippines snaps three sessions of gains
By Shreya Mariam Job
April 11 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets
ended lower on Thursday, with Indonesia leading the declines, as
investors weighed warning signs of a slowing global economy amid
escalation of trade tensions between the United States and
European Union.
Cautious tone of European and U.S. central banks fuelled
worries of a slowing global economy with threats of Washington
slapping new tariffs on European Union goods further dampening
Investors are also eyeing China's March trade data due on
Friday, with exports expected to have rebounded in March after a
sharp drop in February, while imports likely shrank for a fourth
straight month but at a more modest pace, according to a Reuters
Leading the losses in the region, the Indonesian index
closed 1.1 percent lower as political uncertainties
multiplied ahead of the April 17 presidential elections.
Consumer and financial stocks dragged the index lower to a
near one-month closing low, with Astra International Tbk PT
dropping 1.6 percent and Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk PT
ending 2.6 percent weaker.
An index of the country's 45 most liquid stocks
declined 1.6 percent.
Malaysian equities closed nearly 1 percent weaker
after government data showed that the country's industrial
production in February rose at a slower pace compared with
Malaysia's industrial production index rose 1.7 percent in
February from a year earlier, in line with the median estimate
among 10 economists surveyed by Reuters. However, the pace was
slower than January's growth, which came in at 3.2 percent
"The first two months of activity data underpin our view of
slower GDP growth in the first quarter of 2019," Prakash Sakpal,
an economist with ING said in a note.
"We have pencilled in a 25-basis point rate cut for the next
month to pre-empt any further growth downside in the rest of the
year," he added.
Meanwhile, Malaysia's state-owned investment firm Khazanah
Nasional raised 1.05 billion ringgit ($255 million) through the
sale of 85 million Tenaga Nasional shares at the
bottom of a 12.33–12.58 ringgit range.
Also weighing on sentiment were the major losses in Tenaga
Nasional. Shares of the utility firm closed 4.1 percent weaker
at their lowest in more than three-and-a-half years.
Philippine stocks snapped three sessions of gains to
close lower, with industrials contributing majority of the
Shares of JG Summit Holdings Inc and Aboitiz Equity
Ventures Inc declined 4.3 percent and 2.9 percent,
Vietnam stocks closed higher, snapping two sessions
of declines with real estate shares boosting the index.

Autumn Porch Days (...and all around me, life goes on.)
Some days, all we can do to see a wider world
is lie quietly in the sun, faces curved to sky,
watching leaves drop color and die, as clouds
paint a bleached collage of our other places.
All this radiance and warmth must surely
reach something deeper than skin,
higher than your mountains and stars,
less broken than my in-between lovers.
Yet, why does the wind winter swiftly?

Hope is ...
Carried away on ocean tides.
Treacherous waters,

Rotating light shines,
illuminating the edges of sadness.
Waiting to rescue lost souls

Hello everyone!
I develope iMX7 processor based custom hardware design.
I want to connect high-speed 12-bit ADC with a parallel CMOS output to iMX7dual. The required ADC speed is 60 MSPS and higher. What is the maximum speed that the processor can support receiving 12 data bits, for example, on GPIO1 or GPIO2 and dropping it to eMMC or to RAM? What will be the maximum speed if I would use DMA or if I would use a processor core for these operations?

The upcoming third season tackles the first half of George R.R. Martin's nearly-1,000 page long book "A Storm of Swords". The new season will introduce several new characters, including Clive Russell as Bryndn "The Blackfish" Tully and Diane Rigg as Lady Olenna Tyrell, "The Queen of Thorns." Season three will cover the first half of Martin's "A Storm of Swords", which will be continued in year four of the show.
The executive producers say that the new season will be "super-sized", due to extended running times. Like the previous seasons, year three will be 10 episodes long, but this year each episode will be approximately four minutes longer. Benioff says, "Last year we had a lot of 52-minute episodes. This year is a lot of 56, 57 minute ones. All those extra minutes, added together, roughly equal another whole episode. So for people clamoring for another episode, it's in there. It's just been cut into tiny pieces." Also, the season premiere and finale will both run longer than 60 minutes.
Benioff and Weiss say that the book "Sword of Storms" is what made them want to do this series in the first place and so this season is particularly exciting for them. "This is the season that Dan and I have been anticipating from the very beginning." Benioff confesses.
"We always envisioned season three as sort of the place we needed to get," adds Weiss. "If we made it through season three, and if we could do season three right, then it would all be worthwhile. The game's been upped. There's so much more danger. There's so much more risk."
Benioff hints that, "This is the rise and fall season. There are so many characters who come into the season with power of some kind, who lose everything, and other characters who enter with almost nothing and achieve great power."
Series executive story editor/scriptwriter Bryan Cogman states that, "In many ways this season is a little more intimate. There are a lot more character-driven scenes where you're really getting under the skin of the characters and finding out what makes them tick."
The creators promise "You're never going to see the same thing twice, and the story takes twists and turns that are impossible to foresee." Does this mean changes from the book's story arc? No one but the show-runners can say. Certainly there will be some deviations, as is common with book-to-screen adaptations. The extent of which is yet to be seen.

Research has discovered systems that can selectively flocculate mineral solids from a high molecular weight polymer flood matrix while leaving the polymer intact or alternatively achieving a viable total flocculation of the polymer in the produced fluids. Modified alkaline surfactant polymer (ASP) and standard polymer (P) flood systems were studied with findings obtained by controlled variations of both well-proven and non-prevalent chemical approaches. Results concluded that selectively removing the mineral solids from polymer-laden water produces reusable enhanced oil recovery (EOR) fluid.
EOR is a proven method to increase hydrocarbon yield from post-natural, stimulated, or standard flood driven reservoirs. Fluid produced from the reservoir contains the desired hydrocarbon and an aqueous phase. Previously considered a liability, properly treated, the aqueous phase can become an asset. Polymer floods have a proven history in EOR and, though complex in application, ASP also demonstrated EOR effectiveness in the laboratory. Most ASP approaches are currently in field trial stages. The produced fluid is subjected to hydrocarbon separation with the resulting aqueous system either treated for disposal or recycled into the system. The aqueous phase matrix is mainly composed of high molecular weight polymer, mineral solids, residual base, residual oil, and possibly surfactant. If the producer chooses disposal, the solids must be flocculated by a method balancing density, dewaterability, processability, process variability, and cost. However, if the producer opts to recycle the fluid for reinjection, steps must be taken to minimize polymer deviations requiring selective flocculation of all components with exception of the polymer. This undertaking is challenging as EOR polymers are also effective flocculants, therefore sensitive to standard coagulant and flocculant approaches. Utilizing controlled, standard methods and multivariable design of experiments, results were obtained for both total and selective flocculation.
Total flocculation systematically studies the influence of pH, inorganic, and organic coagulants in maximizing the treatment effectiveness. The same approach was successful for selective flocculation, however unique coagulants were applied. The selective flocculation process coagulated and separated the mineral solids, and left the high molecular weight polymer intact and the fluid matrix as viscous as prior to treatment. Effectiveness of treatments were determined using standard gravimetric and viscometric methods.
These discoveries will assist decision makers in determining whether total or selective flocculation is the most viable treatment for polymer based EOR, balancing environmental and economic aspects to pursue a desired treatment route. These methods, though targeting EOR, have practical applications for treatment of flowback and water produced from stimulation and potentially drilling operations as well.
The performance results from a systematic study of novel and contemporary clay stabilizers are provided. These interactions range from synergistic to antagonistic and are presented on a response surface with good correlation. Both organic and inorganic permanent and temporary clay stabilizers were studied. Some of these novel effective inhibitors have HIMS ratings lower than choline chloride.
Various clay stabilizers are employed when stimulation techniques requiring aqueous based fluids are necessary in water sensitive formations. Typically, if swelling or migrating clays are present, temporary or permanent stabilizers are utilized. Low molecular weight temporary stabilizers, as a rule, perform only above a critical level concentration, but as the stabilizer's concentration diminishes in the fracturing fluid due to flowback, formation fluid displacement, or other mechanisms, the clay can swell, reducing porosity and permeability. Permanent stabilizers are generally higher molecular weight and can adhere to single or multiple clay platelets, thus dissolution of the stabilizer into the fluid is not favored, and the beneficial anti-swelling effect is of higher duration.
This study was set up using Central Composite Design of Experiments. Performance testing was conducted using a low pressure Bariod fluid loss cell. A set concentration of unbenefited sodium bentonite was blended into water at a specific RPM and duration in the presence of the particular stabilizers, then placed in the cell, sealed, and pressure was applied. Finally leak off rates were measured. The slope of the leak off curve was calculated and plotted versus dosage. The slopes and response surfaces observed had excellent correlation. Additive effects and synergies were noted.
The design of efficient temporary clay stabilizers can be directly linked to performance. Novel temporary clay stabilizers competitive with choline chloride in both performance and environmental profile should be welcomed in stimulation. The duration of the stabilization could also be studied using this test method since porous media experimentation is difficult to perform.
The performance of systematically substituted temporary clay stabilizers has significant correlation with performances predicted by computational modeling. The model binding energies of different clay stabilizers onto various bentonite crystalline faces were independently calculated and corresponded well with a standard bench-top performance method indicating a systematic approach in the development of temporary clay stabilization performance may be realized.

It was discovered when using binding energies of substituted ammonium ions on a bentonite interlayer, the binding energies correlated well with performance testing.
The binding energy of ammonium ions substituted with 0 to 4 methyl groups or choline were calculated on the 001 crystal face(s) of bentonite. Bentonite being a 2:1 swelling clay had its inter-crystalline space gapped at 8 to 20Å. Unique molecular ions were introduced to this space and the binding energies were calculated using a Monte Carlo Isothermal Adsorption method. Performance testing was then conducted using a low pressure Bariod fluid loss cell. A set concentration of sodium bentonite was blended into water a specific RPM and duration in the presence of the particular ammonium ion, placed in the cell and pressure was applied and leak off rate were measured. The resulting leak off rates were compared to the binding energy.
The design of efficient temporary clay stabilizers can be directly linked to performance. Further, the duration of the stabilization may also be modeled in a way where experimentation would be difficult in flow through porous media.
Rheological experiments have been conducted with commercial and experimental friction reducers indicating certain profiles are advantageous for performance. In these profiles the factors of time and concentration are important in predicting the maximum performance window. These windows become apparent without the use of sophisticated rheological instrumentation.
The viscosity profile of a friction reducer is dependent on factors such as polymer charge, charge distribution, molecular weight, polymer concentration, solvent properties, specific shear rate and time. Often it is difficult to measure properties such as molecular weight and viscosity, both quite sensitive to the specific test method and many assumptions are made. In this study, the viscosity of the system depends on the shear history, concentration, and time of measurement. Most traditional viscosity methods assume a thermodynamic definition of polymer configuration. This assumption is valid for measurement of friction reduction after significant duration. However, in a hydraulic fracture, this time may not be realized during the volumetric transfer of the fluid from the pumps to the perforations. In a recirculating friction loop measurement, the friction reduction performance of an ideal candidate rapidly increases and then sometimes diminishes with recirculation time. A possible correspondence between this phenomenon can be linked to the measurement conducted in this study.
Shear rate sweeps were conducted on a variety of synthetic polymers with a Couette rheometer and a microchip rheometer. Variables studied were polymer type, concentration, shear history, time, solvent, make-down procedure, and atmosphere. Both inverse emulsion and dry friction reducers were studied. Friction reduction was measured on a once through system.
From this study, ideal friction reducer candidates can be selected by simply and rapidly examining the rheological profile and rheological nuances realized when conducting the measurements. When choosing an ideal friction reducer, it must perform rapidly and maintain the necessary friction reduction required for the time frame needed.
In order to achieve in-depth control of injection water and improve oil recovery, a new profile control agent called dispersed particle gel (DPG) is developed, which is significantly different from colloidal dispersion gel both in its preparation and its characteristics. The DPG is prepared by the tube shearing cross-linking method with polymer and cross-linker. Atomic force microscope (AFM) studies show that DPG is made of small pseudo-spherical particles and the sizes can be controlled from nm to mm by adjusting shearing rate in the tube. The particles have a ratio of major and minor axis length of near 1, and the larger the shear rate, the closer the ratio is to 1. Salinity has a minor effect on the micro-morphology and there is an aging aggregation phenomenon. The results on dynamic light scattering also support the conclusions above. The rotary viscometer measurements show that DPG has a low viscosity, and salinity has a minor effect on viscosity, and that the DPG has good shearing stability. Physical simulation experiments in this study demonstrate that DPG has good injectivity, the ability to control injection profile, and improve oil recovery. It can be concluded from this study that this new profile control agent has the potential for wide application.

We present Alkyl polyglycoside (APG)/1-naphthol formulations which show ultra-low interfacial tensions (IFT) against n-octane. We demonstrate that 1-naphthol is very efficient as a cosolvent in terms of reducing IFT. These formulations are therefore potentially suitable as agents for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). An increasing APG concentration strongly increased viscosity, and the formulations showed shear-thinning behavior. In a coreflood EOR test we showed that this type of formulation significantly increased oil production.
Keywords: alkyl polyglucoside, 1-naphthol, ultra-low interfacial tension, cosolvent, shear-thinning, enhanced oil recovery, surfactant flooding.
1. Introduction.
Large quantities of Alkyl polyglucoside (APG) are produced industrially nowadays (80000 t/a, Hill and Rhode 1999) and this surfactant class is widely used in a range of applications including cosmetics, pharmacy, detergency, agriculture and oil recovery (Balzer and Lüders 2000, Balzer 1991, Hill and von Rybinski 1997, Hill and Rhode 1999, Pakpayat et al. 2009).
During our studies we found that APG formulations can reach low to ultra-low interfacial tension (IFT) values against liquid hydrocarbons (Goddard et al. 2004, Iglauer et al. 2009+2004a,b, Wu et al. 2004), consistent with literature data (Kahl et al. 1996, Förster et al. 1996, von Rybinski et al. 1998, Balzer 1991, Kahlweit et al. 1995). In general, the IFTs of these APG formulations were quasi-independent of temperature or salinity (Balzer and Lüders 2000, Hill and von Rybinski 1997, Iglauer et al. 2009, Kahlweit et al. 1995), which is very useful for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications, because geological formation temperature and/or salinity can vary substantially (Green and Willhite 1998).
Low IFT generating formulations are sought for EOR applications in order to mobilize residual crude oil which is trapped as isolated pore-scale bubbles in small rock pores by capillary forces. Surfactant formulations reduce these capillary forces enabling the residual oil to be produced (Green and Willhite 1998, Abrams 1975).
We identified 1-naphthol as a very efficient cosolvent which was able to reduce the IFT of APG formulations to ultra-low levels at low concentrations. In addition, we conducted rheological measurements, because the rheological behavior of the formulations is of great importance as it determines injection rate and pressure. We present our experimental data for these formulations and discuss their potential as EOR agents in the context of a coreflood experiment we conducted.
This paper presents an evaluation of different chemical agents that can reduce dramatically the apparent viscosity of a heavy crude oil or a thick emulsion. The focus of this study is on methods to improve the production of heavy oils and very viscous emulsions such as are found in California, Canada, and Venezuela. This study identified several surfactant-demulsifier formulations that can reduce the viscosity of such heavy fluids by as much as 3 orders of magnitude.
If efficient chemical solutions are applied downhole to reduce produced fluids viscosity this offers an economical means to reduce the energy required to move the oil between the well to the surface facilities, thereby improving well productivity and reducing lifting costs. It is especially suited for wells that are producing fluids at colder temperatures (less than 150 °F) that have extreme fluid viscosities (from 10,000 to 100,000 cp); these may be reduced to 100 - 500 cp by gentle mixing with aqueous-based chemical treatment solutions. Wells with high hydraulic pressures, poor pump efficiencies, or excessive pressure losses in the facility gathering systems are good candidates for these treatments. Reducing these extreme viscosities will have benefits such as lowering the power consumption to lift the produced fluids and reduce system pressures. Chemical costs for such chemical treatments are less than a dollar a barrel of oil, and can be even less than $0.50 per barrel of heavy oil.
These same or similar chemical systems also may be beneficial for longer distance transportation of heavy oils, as pre-treatments for cyclic steam treatments, or as additives in the stimulation fluids applied in heavy oil wells. .
This laboratory investigation employed a unique novel viscometer that will measure accurately the effective dynamic viscosity of multi-phase liquids (emulsions) from several centiposes to thousands of centipoise. This instrument was developed to overcome the limitations of conventional laboratory viscometers to measure unstable emulsions that may separate during the measurement process.

There is a large amount of residual polymer existing in the forms of solution, adsorption and entrapment in formation after polymer flooding. Then the water cut increases quickly along high permeable zone when displacing water. In order to improve sweep efficiency of water flooding and fully use residual polymer in formation, the reutilization technology of residual polymer in formation is proposed and developed. When the reutilization agents (including flocculating agent and fixed agent) are injected, they react with residual polymer and the floc units as well as the cross-linking units are formed which could block high permeability zone and control cross flow. As a result, the sweep efficiency of water flooding and oil recovery could be enhanced. In this paper, the optimized flocculating agent was selected through suspension experiments and the fixed effect for polymer was studied in sand pack cores, and the residual resistance factor was used as the evaluation criterion. The experiments showed that solid particles can be used as flocculating agent and the optimized flocculating agent is stabilized sodium clay; the cross-linking agent can be used as fixed agent and the optimal fixed agent is selected depending on formation temperature and the salinity. This technology was successfully applied in Henan oilfield, Shengli oilfield and Daqing oilfield. The water cut and produced polymer concentration decreased dramatically and oil production increased obviously. This technology which belongs to quaternary oil recovery is a preferred improved oil recovery technology after polymer flooding and has abroad application prospect.

7 Things You Should Never Ever Do When Buying Your First Knoxville Home
There are a lot of things you shouldn't do when you buy your first Knoxville home.
The process of buying a home is foreign to a majority of first time buyers. It's you're first go at buying a home, so no one blames you aren't completely sure what you're doing. You're bound to make a few mistakes along the way.
To help prep you for the process, here are 7 things you should never ever do as a Knoxville first time home buyer. You can consider this list a fairly good starting point of things you should absolutely not do when buying a hoe.
Do It Alone
How do you really feel about buying your first home alone?
If you do this alone, you need to be fully prepared to take on all of the risks that come with buying a home. Do you feel confident enough to write a contract with all the necessary contingencies? Do you know enough about real estate to know what to do when a deal starts to head south?
If you're like a vast majority of first time buyers, your answer is likely no.
Do yourself a favor, and hire yourself an agent. It'll be the best thing that you do and make the process less stressful.
Tell Little White Lies
As with anything in life, lying will get you nowhere.
This is particularly true when it comes to applying for a loan. Lenders do a very detailed when it comes to giving loan approval. They will investigate your credit, income, and bank statements. They will require documentation on all of these items, so there will be no hiding anything from them.
It is much better to be upfront with a loan officer from the very beginning than have them find something out in the middle of the approval process, which could delay closing or even worse.
Apply For Additional Lines Of Credit
Your credit is very important from the time you consider buying a home to when the moment you finish signing paperwork at closing.
Good credit will ensure that you're able to get approved for a loan. Ensuring that there are no changes to your credit during the loan approval process will allow you to successfully allow you to close on a home.
Your credit will be monitored from the second you apply for a loan, so any changes during the process can raise a red flag. Any changes in credit can include: applying for additional lines of credit or utilizing more of your credit limit than normal.
Quit Your Day Job
Income is important when you're applying for a loan, so changing jobs is something that you should do when you're in the middle of applying for a loan.
In certain cases, changing may not be preventable. If that is the case, it is absolutely essential that you let your loan officer know that your position has changed. When a loan officer is informed, they can be better prepared.
Changing during loan approval doesn't guarantee that the loan will be denied. It's just better that all important parties are informed about the change.
Miss Payments
Making payments is always important to your credit. Particularly, when you're buying a home.
Missing payments can ding away at your credit score, which can be very bad when you're applying for a loan. It's important to keep in mind that your credit will be pulled again prior to closing. If you're credit is borderline and drops too low, you may be denied for a loan altogether.
In addition, any late or missed payments that show up on your credit may require explanation to your lender.
Moral of the story, be sure to pay your bills on time. You're applying for a mortgage, you want to show you are responsible with your credit.
Spend Your Savings
Showing that you're responsible with your money is important when it comes to buying your first home.
When you're in the process of buying a home, it can easy to spend money very quickly. Paying for inspections, planning on your move, and thinking about buying new items for your home, make it very easy to go through money quickly.
Just keep in mind, you don't want to burn through your savings so much that you don't have enough for your down payment.
Let Your Emotions Take Control
Buying your first Knoxville can be bit of a rollercoaster. It's exciting. It's overwhelming. And, it's scary.
At some point or another during the transaction, your emotions will probably get the best of you in one way or another. Before making any rash decisions, like overbidding on a home or walking away from the transaction, it can be important to slow down and think things through.
Surround yourself with some trusted professionals to help you through the process and offer you sage words of wisdom. Your realtor and loan officer can be there throughout the transaction to help offer your advice on what needs to be done.
When things get crazy, stop and take a breath. Think things through and take time to listen to what the professionals are advising you to do.
Are you thinking about buying a Knoxville home this year? Please let us know if there is anyway that Knoxville Home Team can assist you. Rick can be reached at 865-696-9002 or via email at email@example.com. Kati can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
