Formation of amorphous silica nanoparticles and its impact on permeability of fractured granite in superhot geothermal environments

Scientific Reports, 2021
Superhot geothermal environments in granitic crusts of approximately 400–500 °C are a frontier of geothermal energy. In the development of such environments, there is a concern of a reduction of permeability of fractured granite due to the formation of ...

Heat-activated Epoxy Foam for Permeability Alteration in Fractured Geothermal Fields: Proof of Concept

InterPore Journal
Geothermal energy plays a growing role in the transition to renewable and carbon free energy sources. A challenge for many geothermal operations is how to enhance water-rock heat exchange either by creation of new fractures in a tight rock, or by ...

LABORATORY EXPERIMENT BASED PERMEABILITY REDUCTION ESTIMATION FOR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY [PDF]

Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2018
Formation damage is an unwanted operational problem-taking place through several phases of oil reservoir life. The permeability reduction is a key indicator for the formation damage.

Role of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Autophagy Axis in Severe Burn-Induced Intestinal Tight Junction Barrier Dysfunction in Mice

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Severe burn injury induces intestinal barrier dysfunction; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Our previous studies have shown that the intestinal epithelial tight junction (TJ) barrier dysfunction is associated with both endoplasmic ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Bioactive glass versus Arginine dentifrices on the reduction of dentin permeability and acid tolerance

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, 2021
Objectives To compare the efficacy of calcium sodium phosphosilicate (CSPS) and arginine dentifrices on dentin permeability and acid tolerance. Material and Methods Sixty dentin discs were randomly assigned into 3 groups, then brushed for 1 min with CSPS,

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Permeability Changes Resulting from Quartz Precipitation and Dissolution around Upper Crustal Intrusions

Geofluids, 2018
It has long been recognized that quartz precipitation from circulating hydrothermal fluids may reduce porosity and permeability near intrusions. However, the magnitude of permeability changes and potential feedbacks between flow, heat transfer, and ...
