Development of Graphene Oxide@Hyperbranched Polyglycerol Nanofluids for Application in Enhanced Oil Recovery

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of graphene oxide (GO) nanofluid functionalization with surfactants or hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The diagram highlights: (1) wettability alteration in limestone and sandstone reservoirs; (2) nanofluid injection into porous media; (3) atomic force microscopy (AFM) characterization of oil ...

Comparing cranial biomechanics between Barbourofelis fricki and Smilodon fatalis: Is there a universal killing‐bite among saber‐toothed predators?

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐

Morphometric analyzes of the river basin id Ribeirão da Laje, in the Southwest of Goiás, Brazil

open access: yesGeografia Ensino & Pesquisa, 2019
Due to negative environmental impacts caused by intensive soil use, urban and industrial expansion and to the importance of water resources to the maintenance of several life forms on Earth, data were necessary for the planning and environmental ...

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Evaluation of Groundwater Recharge Estimates in a Partially Metamorphosed Sedimentary Basin in a Tropical Environment: Application of Natural Tracers

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
This study tests the representativeness of groundwater recharge estimates through the chloride mass balance (CMB) method in a tropical environment. The representativeness of recharge estimates using this methodology is tested using evaporation estimates ...

Application of an improved global-scale groundwater model for water table estimation across New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018
Many studies underline the importance of groundwater assessment at the larger, i.e. global, scale. The groundwater models used for these assessments are dedicated to the global scale and therefore not often applied for studies in smaller areas, e.g ...

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Preliminary experimental results by the prototype of Sanya Incoherent Scatter Radar

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2020
In the past decades, the Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) has been demonstrated to be one of the most powerful instruments for ionosphere monitoring. The Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences was founded to build a state-of-

Exposed weapons: A revised reconstruction of the facial anatomy and life appearance of the saber‐toothed cat Megantereon (Felidae, Machairodontinae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Megantereon was a widespread saber‐toothed felid from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of the Old World and North America, but its rarity in the fossil record makes it complicated to restore its life appearance. Lack of complete specimens makes it necessary to combine information from fossils of different individuals to reconstruct their facial ...
