Through a Glass, Darkly The EU – Pouring Trouble on Oiled Waters
"... This column is about a big battle between an international government and a major computer manufacturer. The main thrust of the column is this – the European Union and Microsoft are going through several rounds of a highly-expensive boxing match where the basis for the battle is how much information ..."

information about its software products Microsoft has to give its competitors. In one corner, wearing EU-colored trunks, is the EU’s antitrust agency, which is levying fines of unimaginable size on Microsoft for not providing its competitors with the information it thinks those competitors are entitled to
Oil Price Shock and Structural Changes in CMEA Trade: Pouring Oil on Troubled Waters?*
, 2009
"... We analyse trade between countries of the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance in Eastern Europe between 1950 and 1990. Despite central planning and political motivation of the CMEA, we show that trade could be explained by standard demand factors surprisingly well. Moreover, we document that the o ..."

that the oil price crisis had several repercussions on Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union as a supplier of crude oil benefited from the energy crisis in the 1970s. In particular, it used energy exports as an instrument of foreign policy. In turn, the responses of the individual CMEA countries in Central Europe
Floating Over Troubled Waters: Knowledge Differentiation and Integration in Offshore Platform Design
"... This paper is concerned with knowledge differentiation and integration in the context of a large, distributed project. We contrast a firm-centred with a community of practitioners approach to the nature and locus of engineering knowledge by examining a project concerned with the development of an of ..."

of an offshore platform for ultra-deep sea oil exploration, Octabuoy. The development of Octabuoy took place within a relationship between two geographically separate units which until recently belonged to two separate firms. The project's organisation mirrored the architecture of the platform and relied
and Colocynthus vulgaris Seed Oils
"... Abstract: The relative abundance of some Nigerian seed oils coupled with the little knowledge of their biodiesel usage prompted the need for this research. Biodiesel production is a very modern and technological area for researchers due to the relevance that it is winning everyday because of the inc ..."

catalysed transesterification reaction between the oils and ethanol. The fuel properties such as kinematic viscosity, flash points, pour point and water crackle were determined. GC-MS was used to determine the fatty acid profile of the transesterified oils. The fuel properties correlated very well
Destabilisation of Water-in-Crude Oil Emulsions by Silicone Copolymer Demulsifiers
"... Résumé — Déstabilisation des émulsions eau dans pétrole brut par des polymères siliconés désémulsionnants — Des émulsions stables de type eau dans huile se forment lors de la production de pétrole brut. Les asphaltènes, molécules tensioactives naturellement présentes dans le pétrole, créent un film ..."

REMOVAL OF OIL SPILLS FROM SALT WATER BY MAGNESIUM, CALCIUM CARBONATES AND OXIDES
"... ABSTRACT: Magnesium, calcium carbonates and oxides which are widely used in cement industries were employed in studying sorption of petroleum oil spills from salt water at different condition parameters such as temperature, loading weight, degree of salinity. Treatment of magnesium, calcium carbonat ..."

Characteristics of crude oil and the used materials were investigated by FTIR, X – Ray Fluorescence, Inductive Coupled Plasma, Pour Point and Thermostatic Water Bath instruments. Determination of the amount of crude oil in water was done by extraction the crude oil
Formation Kinetics and Viscoelastic Properties of Water/Crude Oil Interfacial Films
"... Résumé — Cinétique de formation et propriétés viscoélastiques du film interfacial eau/brut pétrolier — Les propriétés viscoélastiques du film interfacial huile/eau ont été étudiées sur un système pétrole brut de type paraffinique/eau salée afin d’en déterminer la cinétique de formation.

Abstract — Formation Kinetics and Viscoelastic Properties of Water/Crude Oil Interfacial Films — Viscoelastic interfacial properties of a light paraffinic crude oil/water system were studied in order to determine the formation film kinetics. A drop oscillatory tensiometer was used
1 STUDY OF EXTRACTANT MOLECULES AS COSURFACTANT AT THE WATER- OIL INTERFACE IN MICROEMULSIONS
"... In the present work specific adsorption phenomena of metal ions at the water –oil interface are studied. Bicontinuous microemulsions were chosen as a model system because of their high specific surface between water and oil phases. Mixing an extremely hydrophobic extractant considered here as the co ..."

as well as characteristic length scales and specific area. Finally, highly precise analytical techniques like ICP-AES permit to determine adsorption isotherms for various ions of interest in nuclear industry, like Nd3+, Eu3+, Fe3+, UO22+, at this water oil interface. These results lead to a better
2001): Influences of the Dispersed Phase Viscosity on the Mixing of Concentrated Oil-in-Water
- Emulsions in the Transition Flow Regime, International Symposium on Mixing in Industrial Processes
"... Abstract. We have evaluated the emulsification of oil of varying viscosities for concentrated dispersions (> 60 %). Rushton type impellers and baffled mixing vessels were used. The emulsions were prepared in the transition regime (80 < Re < 200). It was found that, as the concentration incr ..."
