Pre‐Diagnostic Plasma Carotenoids, Tocopherols and Retinol Levels, and Risk of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Our goal was to examine whether pre‐diagnostic plasma carotenoids and tocopherols are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods A nested case–control study within 4 United States cohorts, where 154 participants with pre‐diagnostic blood‐draw, were diagnosed during follow‐up with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Controls

A Study on the Mechanism of Urea-assisted Steam Flooding in Heavy Oil Reservoirs [PDF]

Journal of Petroleum Science and Technology, 2015
The Biqian-10 block, located in Henan Oilfield of Sinopic, contains many thin and interbedded reservoirs, which have been operated by cyclic steam stimulation for 20 years or more. Therefore, it is a challenge to implement the conventional steam flooding.

Optimized Selenium‐Doped Nanocomposites for Enhanced Polymer Gel Performance in Permeability Reduction

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excessive water production in mature oil fields necessitates robust shut‐off treatments, yet conventional polymer gels often fail under high‐temperature and high‐salinity conditions. This study aims to enhance gel thermal stability and mechanical strength by incorporating selenium‐doped Ag/AgO–ZnO nanocomposites synthesized via a novel green ...

EOR-1 and EOR-2 function in RMED/V neuron specification

microPublication biology, 2019
In a visual screen for genes that regulate the pattern of the juIs76[Punc-25GFP] marker, which labels four GABAergic RME neurons and 19 ventral cord D-type neurons (Huang et al., 2002), we isolated two mutants, eor-2(ju190) and eor-1(ju198) (Huang and Jin, 2019). In both eor-2(ju190) and eor-1(ju198) mutants, Punc-25GFP expression was almost completely

WSPLK: A systematic approach to the thermodynamic characterization of light and heavy Mexican crude oil

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract A streamlined characterization framework (WSPLK) is presented for modelling complex reservoir fluids using cubic equations of state. The key methodological contribution is the introduction of a single global parameter ε directly into Pedersen's boiling‐point correlation, restoring pure‐component calibration and eliminating the need for ...
