20-20 Kitchen Design

Quite simply, 20/20 is the best kitchen and bathroom design tool on the market today. This program boasts technical advantages that streamline the pricing and ordering process and make the design “come alive” for our remodeling clients.

Here's how it works. Ordering cabinets can be a complex process. Not so with 20/20. Most cabinet manufacturers’catalogs are built right into the 20/20 program. This enables cabinet dealer to price complete kitchens - both stock and custom cabinetry - with the click of a button. This makes designing, pricing and ordering much more accurate, convenient and fast. In addition, every manufacturer has a different abbreviation used for labeling cabinets. This is called “ nomenclature. Manufacturers require the specific nomenclature for each cabinet to place an order. With 2020, MyHome is able to print out the exact nomenclature and to know which cabinets are available. This cuts down on both mistakes and waiting time.20/20 is also makes remodeling come alive by allowing the designer to create a three-dimensional color image of what the new space will look like. With other programs, creating a 3-D color rendering takes a very long time. With 20/20, it's fast and easy for the designer to produce an amazing graphic enhancement of the finished product. Your remodeling consultant can produce detailed floor plans, elevations, renderings and 3-D color images to assist in your decision-making process. For example, if you would like to open your kitchen into an adjacent space, you will be able to visualize the renovation well before demolition actually begins. 20/20 also is a great tool to help you to decide if you are happy with the layout or would still like to revise the design.

Quantitative Methods in Reservoir Engineering

For the practitioner, this volume is a valuable tool for predicting reservoir flow in the most efficient and profitable manner possible, using quantitative methods rather than anecdotal and outdated methods. For the student, this volume offers insight not covered in other textbooks.Too many approaches in traditional petroleum engineering are based on "ad hoc" and "common sense" methods that have no rigorous mathematical basis. Most textbooks dealing with reservoir engineering do not go into the necessary mathematical detail and depth. This new book by Wilson Chin, a revision of two earlier books published by Gulf Publishing, Modern Reservoir Flow and Well Transient Analysis and Formation Invasion, integrates rigorous mathematical methods for simulating and predicting reservoir flow both near and away from the well.
