Nanotechnology for CO2 Utilization in Oilfield Applications
delivers a critical reference for petroleum and reservoir engineers
to learn the latest advancements of combining the use of CO2 and
nanofluids to lower carbon footprint. Starting with the existing
chemical and physical methods employed for synthesizing nanofluids,
the reference moves into the scalability and fabrication techniques
given for all the various nanofluids currently used in oilfield
applications. This is followed by various, relevant
characterization techniques. Advancing on, the reference covers
nanofluids used in drilling, cementing, and EOR fluids, including
their challenges and implementation problems associated with the
use of nanofluids. Finally, the authors discuss the combined
application of CO2 and nanofluids, listing challenges and benefits
of CO2, such as carbonation capacity of nanofluids via rheological
analysis for better CO2 utilization. Supported by visual world maps
on CCS sites and case studies across the industry, this book gives
today's engineers a much-needed tool to lower emissions.

Awareness of design smells - indicators of common design problems -
helps developers or software engineers understand mistakes made
while designing, what design principles were overlooked or
misapplied, and what principles need to be applied properly to
address those smells through refactoring. Developers and software
engineers may "know" principles and patterns, but are not aware of
the "smells" that exist in their design because of wrong or
mis-application of principles or patterns. These smells tend to
contribute heavily to technical debt - further time owed to fix
projects thought to be complete - and need to be addressed via
proper refactoring. Refactoring for Software Design Smells presents
25 structural design smells, their role in identifying design
issues, and potential refactoring solutions. Organized across
common areas of software design, each smell is presented with
diagrams and examples illustrating the poor design practices and
the problems that result, creating a catalog of nuggets of readily
usable information that developers or engineers can apply in their
projects. The authors distill their research and experience as
consultants and trainers, providing insights that have been used to
improve refactoring and reduce the time and costs of managing
software projects. Along the way they recount anecdotes from actual
projects on which the relevant smell helped address a design issue.

"Consumer Behaviour towards durables in Chandigarh" studies how
people buy durable goods, what they buy, when they buy, why they
buy and where do they prefer to buy. The study provides useful
insights to marketers and manufacturers in developing strategies
for product development, pricing, positioning, promoting,
distributing and creating brand loyalty among consumers. The study
also displays application of wide range of tools and models for
academic use. The study develops a deeper understanding towards the
topic of consumer behaviour by applying and summarizing various
models of consumer behaviour such as Economic model, learning
model, psycho-analytical model and sociological model. Televisions
were selected as durable for the study. The study mainly analyses,
T.V. sets owned by the respondents, factors motivating them to
purchase T.V. sets, role of various factors in purchase decisions,
brand selection, store selection, influence of family members etc.
Study was conducted at Chandigarh - The city Beautiful which is
located at North western part of India and is a dynamic,
cosmopolitan and ever expanding market of consumer durables.
