Faults and fractures play a critical role in subsurface systems; they may act as hydrocarbon traps, compartmentalize reservoirs, or serve as conduits for fluid migration across stratigraphic intervals. Consequently, fault delineation from seismic dat...
Seismic coherence attributes are valuable for identifying structural features, but they often face challenges due to significant background noise and non-feature-related stratigraphic discontinuities. To address this, it is necessary to apply attribu...
Camel is a valuable source of meat for African and Asian countries; however, the most important problem associated with camel meat is its extreme toughness. This toughness has been attributed to its contents of connective tissue, which become more cr...
In many cases, the traditional ground-based estimates of competition between trees are not directly applicable with modern aerial inventories, due to incompatible measurements. Moreover, many former studies of competition consider extreme stand densi...
This study set out to identify and analyze the factors that influence the formation of rental prices for residential apartments in the city of Belém. The approach adopted was based on the hedonic price theory, which considers that the rental p...
Supplier evaluation and selection are fundamental tasks since they are part of the production process and even initiate the supply chain (SC). Despite their importance in the production system, supplier evaluation and selection may be challenging act...
Tropical forests are biologically diverse and structurally complex ecosystems that can store a large quantity of carbon and support a great variety of plant and animal species. However, tropical forest structure can vary dramatically within seemingly...
Spent broiler hen meat is sold at a lower price, owing to its poor texture and lower acceptability, in comparison with broiler meat. The tenderization of spent hen meat using kiwi and pineapple extracts will encourage meat processors to use this less...
