The reservoir model will usually be a computer based simulation model, such as the 3D model described in Section 8. As production continues, the monitoring programme generates a data base containing information on the performance of the field. The reservoir model is used to check whether the initial assumptions and description of the reservoir were correct. Where inconsistencies between the predicted and observed behaviour occur, the model is reviewed and adjusted until a new match (a so-called history match ) is achieved. The updated model is then used to predict future performance of the field, and as such is a very useful tool for generating production forecasts. In addition, the model is used to predict the outcome of alternative future development plans. The criterion used for selection is typically profitability (or any other stated objective of the operating company). 

If the original field development plan was not based on a 3-D seismic survey (which would be a commonly used tool for new fields nowadays), then it would now be normal practice to shoot a 3-D survey for development purposes. The survey would help to provide definition of the reservoir structure and continuity (faulting and the extension of reservoir sands), which is used to better locate the development wells. In some cases time-lapse 3-D seismic 4D surveys carried out a number of years apart, see Section 2) is used to track the displacement of fluids in the reservoir. 

Reservoir pressure is measured in selected wells using either permanent or nonpermanent bottom hole pressure gauges or wireline tools in new wells (RFT, MDT, see Section 5.3.5) to determine the profile of the pressure depletion in the reservoir. The pressures indicate the continuity of the reservoir, and the connectivity of sand layers and are used in material balance calculations and in the reservoir simulation model to confirm the volume of the fluids in the reservoir and the natural influx of water from the aquifer. The following example shows an RFT pressure plot from a development well in a field which has been producing for some time. 

The war itself also drove the development of improved and miniaturised electronic components for creating oscillators and amplifiers and, ultimately, semiconductors, which made practical the electronic systems needed in portable eddy current test instruments. The refinement of those systems continues to the present day and advances continue to be triggered by performance improvements of components and systems. In the same way that today s pocket calculator outperforms the large, hot room full of intercormected thermionic valves that I first saw in the 50 s, so it is with eddy current instrumentation. Today s handheld eddy current inspection instrument is a powerful tool which has the capability needed in a crack detector, corrosion detector, metal sorter, conductivity meter, coating thickness meter and so on. 

The DCPD method looks to be a niethod for ndt during production of P/M parts. In use in the P/M industry it may be an important tool in quality assurance. Work will continue towards implementation at a P/M plant. 

Exposure to the concepts of change and change management. including continued competence and to keep abreast of up to date tools,techniques practices and impacts on professional NDT radiography practices. 

The Driving Module houses power supply, circuits for determination of travel distance (odometer wheels) and circumferential orientation, and a computer and a storage facility for all data recorded. The Driving Module has cups extending to the pipe wall, thus providing the movement of the tool after its launching into the continuous oil flow. 

The implementation of tools such as the STM will undoubtedly continue to provide unprecedented views of etching reactions and will deepen our understanding of the phenomena that govern these processes. 

The essentially non-destmetive nature of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, combmed with the its ability to provide botli compositional and depth mfomiation, makes it an ideal analysis tool to study thm-film, solid-state reactions. In particular, the non-destmetive nature allows one to perfomi in situ RBS, thereby characterizing both the composition and thickness of fomied layers, without damaging the sample. Since only about two minutes of irradiation is needed to acquire a Rutherford backscattering spectmm, this may be done continuously to provide a real-time analysis of the reaction [6]. 

In the majority of practical finite element simulations the mesh generation is conducted in conjunction with an interactive graphics tool to allow feedback and continuous monitoring of the computational grid. 

Each of these tools has advantages and limitations. Ab initio methods involve intensive computation and therefore tend to be limited, for practical reasons of computer time, to smaller atoms, molecules, radicals, and ions. Their CPU time needs usually vary with basis set size (M) as at least M correlated methods require time proportional to at least M because they involve transformation of the atomic-orbital-based two-electron integrals to the molecular orbital basis. As computers continue to advance in power and memory size, and as theoretical methods and algorithms continue to improve, ab initio techniques will be applied to larger and more complex species. When dealing with systems in which qualitatively new electronic environments and/or new bonding types arise, or excited electronic states that are unusual, ab initio methods are essential. Semi-empirical or empirical methods would be of little use on systems whose electronic properties have not been included in the data base used to construct the parameters of such models.

The central message of chemistry is that the prop erties of a substance come from its structure What is less obvious but very powerful is the corollary Someone with training m chemistry can look at the structure of a substance and tell you a lot about its properties Organic chemistry has always been and continues to be the branch of chemistry that best connects structure with properties Our objective has been to emphasize the con nection between structure and properties using the tools best suited to make that connection...

The principal tool for performance-based quality assessment is the control chart. In a control chart the results from the analysis of quality assessment samples are plotted in the order in which they are collected, providing a continuous record of the statistical state of the analytical system. Quality assessment data collected over time can be summarized by a mean value and a standard deviation. The fundamental assumption behind the use of a control chart is that quality assessment data will show only random variations around the mean value when the analytical system is in statistical control. When an analytical system moves out of statistical control, the quality assessment data is influenced by additional sources of error, increasing the standard deviation or changing the mean value. 

Work on EXAFS then progressed very little until the advent of the synchrotron radiation source (storage ring), described in Section 8.1.1.1. This type of source produces X-ray radiation of the order of 10 to 10 times as intense as that of a conventional source and is continuously tunable. These properties led to the establishment of EXAFS as an important structural tool for solid materials. 

New types of scanning probe microscopies are continually being developed. These tools will continue to be important for imaging of surfaces at atomic-scale resolution. 

Early investigators grouped alkaloids according to the plant families in which they are found, the stmctural types based on their carbon framework, or their principal heterocycHc nuclei. However, as it became clear that the alkaloids, as secondary metaboUtes (30—32), were derived from compounds of primary metabohsm (eg, amino acids or carbohydrates), biogenetic hypotheses evolved to link the more elaborate skeletons of alkaloids with their simpler proposed pregenitors (33). These hypotheses continue to serve as valuable organizational tools (7,34,35). 

The first syathesis of morphine, and therefore also codeiae, was completed ia 1956 (58). Although an additional twelve or so syntheses have been reported siace then, isolation of morphine remains more important than any synthetic process. However, synthetic endeavors continue to demonstrate new synthetic tools and capabiUties and to conduct the search for modified analogues that retain the analgesic properties of morphine but are nonaddicting.
