Statistical corrections of fracture sampling bias in boreholes from acoustic televiewer logs
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2012)
Targeting structurally controlled permeability remains a challenge in high temperature geothermal fields, because of the difficulties in characterising faults and fractures and their behaviour within the reservoir. The ...
New Zealand geothermal power plants as critical facilities: an active fault avoidance study in the Wairakei Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(International Geothermal Association, 2015-04-19)
Active faults in rifts commonly provide high crustal permeability and control geothermal fluid pathways. However, active faults can also pose surface deformation hazards to geothermal power plants and associated infrastructure. ...
Quantifying the stress distribution at the Rotokawa Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2012)
Knowledge of the orientation and magnitude of the principal stresses can be used to model the behavior of faults and fractures, and determine how they may influence fracture hosted permeability in geothermal reservoirs. ...
Rock properties of Greywacke Basement hosting geothermal reservoirs, New Zealand: preliminary results
(Stanford University, 2014-02-24)
Geothermal resources in New Zealand are known to be hosted in greywacke basement rocks. Fluid flow in these reservoirs and the wells that access them is controlled by fracture networks. As such it is of vital importance ...
Experimental and numerical assessment of MRI-induced temperature change and SAR distributions in phantoms
(Springer Verlag, 2017-06)
During an MR procedure, most of the transmitted RF power is transformed into heat within the patient’s tissue and implants
as a result of resistive losses which is referred to as the specific energy absorption rate (SAR) ...
Feasibility of storing carbon dioxide on a tectonically active margin: New Zealand
(American Association of Petroleum Geologists, 2015-09-13)
New Zealand's sedimentary basins was found to have available several gigatonnes of CO2 storage capacity. However, CO2 storage is currently untested in New Zealand. The country's position on an active Neogene plate boundary ...
Strain rate effects on the failure characteristics of excised human skin
(The 9th International Conference on the Mechanics of Time Dependent Materials, 2014)
Skin is a complex, multi-layered material which exhibits non-linear, anisotropic and viscoelastic
behaviour. Its structure is complex and can be broadly divided into three main layers: the
epidermis, the dermis and ...
Hyperelastic and viscoelastic properties of brain tissue in tension
(ASME, 2012)
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue at high loading velocities is particularly important for modelling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a mixture of compression, ...
Bayesian Model Specification: Some problems related to model choice and calibration
(2011)
In the development of Bayesian model specification for inference and prediction we
focus on the conditional distributions p([theta],[beta]) and p(D[theta],[beta]), with data D and background
assumptions [beta], and ...
Quantifying the Price of Uncertainty in Bayesian Models
(2013)
During the exploratory phase of a typical statistical analysis it is natural to look at the
data in order to narrow down the scope of the subsequent steps, mainly by selecting a set
of families of candidate models ...
