A method for oil recovery by calculating, with a computer system, a current oil saturation of a reservoir, comparing, with the computer system, reservoir properties to screening criteria, determining, with the computer system, a minimum miscibility pressure based on correlations between the reservoir properties and the screening criteria; determining, with the computer system, if the minimum miscibility pressure is greater than a bubble point pressure of the reservoir and is less than or equal to an initial reservoir pressure, determining, with the computer system, a time to repressure the reservoir with water injection, performing a reservoir simulation with the computer system, and flooding the reservoir.

A hydroponic growing system is presented. The system can include multiple growing trays in a vertical arrangement, where a pump supplies the top-most tray and each lower tray is supplied by the overlying tray, and where the plumbing elements for supply and drainage are arranged to one side of the system. The system includes variations to support different crop types within the same system, including removable growing structures for root vegetable, microgreens and supports for vining crops. The system can monitor and adjust the nutrients and other features of the systems water profile to concurrently group multiple crops in differing developing stages.

Methods and systems for determining water status in plant tissue are provided. A number of systems are capable of using terahertz signals to generate signals measuring total water content in plant tissue, including plant leaves. Using these signals, methods are capable of determining water status variables, including water mass per leaf area, relative water content, and leaf water potential, which can aid in agricultural, ecological, and environmental health, such as dehydration and droughst stress of plants.

Computer systems, methods, and apparatuses for estimating changes in gas emissions are described. A computer system may monitor overall emission levels based on sensor outputs from a plurality of gas sensors in a facility. The computer system may estimate a total emission level over a time interval based on the accumulative, gas-response-factor weighted detections of the gas sensors. Emissions from maintenance activities may be excluded as appropriate. The total emission level may be compared with total emission level estimated from different time intervals and/or different facilities. The computer system may be further used for comparing emissions across multiple facilities, or emissions from facilities across multiple regions.

An interactive stochastic design tool has an input device, an output device, and a digital processor. The digital processor reads in initiation data describing a stochastic process and a threshold boundary. It then computes one or more realizations of the stochastic process. The realizations and the threshold boundary are displayed on the output device. The user may then input an indication to enforce the threshold boundary. The processor then redisplays the realizations that do not cross the enforced threshold boundary.
