A text-context-aware CNN network for multi-oriented and multi-language scene text detection (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The existing deep learning based state-of-theart scene text detection methods treat scene texts a type of general objects, or segment text regions directly. The latter category achieves remarkable detection results on arbitrary orientation and large...

Flexible character accuracy measure for reading-order-independent evaluation (2020)
Journal Article

The extraction of textual information from scanned document pages is a fundamental stage in any digitisation effort and directly determines the success of the overall document analysis and understanding application scenarios. To evaluate and improve... Read More about Flexible character accuracy measure for reading-order-independent evaluation.

Enhancing the performance of Xanthan gum in water-based mud systems using an environmentally friendly biopolymer (2020)
Journal Article
Akpan, E., Enyi, G., & Nasr, G. (2020). Enhancing the performance of Xanthan gum in water-based mud systems using an environmentally friendly biopolymer. Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technologies, 10, 1933-1948. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13202-020-00837-0

Xanthan gum is commonly used in drilling fluids to provide viscosity, solid suspension, and fluid-loss control. However, it is sensitive to high temperatures and not tolerant of field contaminants. This paper presents an experimental study on the eff... Read More about Enhancing the performance of Xanthan gum in water-based mud systems using an environmentally friendly biopolymer.

Descaling petroleum production tubing using multiple high-pressure nozzles (2020)
Thesis
Hassan, K. Descaling petroleum production tubing using multiple high-pressure nozzles. (Thesis). University of Salford

The mechanical approach of utilizing high-pressure water for scale removal has gained wider acceptance by multinational despite facing poor downhole performance challenges (cavitation) that need abrasion compensation (sand). Although sand particles h... Read More about Descaling petroleum production tubing using multiple high-pressure nozzles.
