Sommario/riassunto

From the traditional stereotyped viewpoint, femininity and technology clash. This negative association between women and technology is one of the features of the sex-typing of jobs. Men are seen as technically competent and creative; women are seen as incompetent, suited only to work with machines that have been made and maintained by men. Men identify themselves with technology, and technology is identified with masculinity. The relationship between technology, technological change and women's work is, however, very complex.; Through studies examining technological change and the sexual divis

Sommario/riassunto

Reservoir quality of Rotliegend sandstones is mainly controlled by their permeability, and porosity, and their mechanical properties. Thus, diagenetic porosity-reducing processes need to be understood to evaluate reservoir quality and geotechnical properties in sandstones. Best reservoir qualities are achieved in mature sandstones with large



amounts of quartz cementation. The relative length of grain-contacts compared to the respective grain diameter is identified as proxy for rock strength.
