Solid-liquid organic matter interaction mechanism between kerogen and aromatic compounds
Under geological conditions, the initial generation of oil and gas in source rocks reaches saturation before being expelled and migrating, with the adsorption of hydrocarbons by kerogen being a key factor influencing oil saturation.

Physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of kitoza, a traditional salted/dried/smoked meat product of Madagascar [PDF]
Kitoza samples collected from producers in Madagascar were analyzed for their physicochemical and microbial properties. Lactic acid bacteria and coagulase‐negative staphylococci were the two codominant populations with average counts of 6–7 log cfu/g ...

Responses of CYP450 dependent system to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons body burden in transplanted mussels from South coast of Portugal [PDF]
Mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis were cross-transplanted at South Portugal from a reference site (site 1) to a site more contaminated with hydrocarbon compounds (site 2), and vice versa, in an active biomonitoring (ABM) concept, to assess the ...

P-resonant control for the neutral point of three phase inverter [PDF]
In this project, a Proportional resonant (PR) current controller is proposed to maintain a balanced neutral point for a three-phase four wire inverter, which can be used in microgrid applications. The neutral-point circuit consists of a conventional
