Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Fluid Flow Characteristics in a Rock Micro-Fracture Based on the Pseudo-Potential Model

Energies, 2018
Slip boundary has an important influence on fluid flow, which is non-negligible in rock micro-fractures. In this paper, an improved pseudo-potential multi-relaxation-time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), which can achieve a large density ratio, is ...

Interactions between Ca(OH)2, imidazolium ionic liquid, and titanium oxide nanoparticles using resinous and asphaltenic synthetic oils under high-salinity conditions

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2023
Using chemical methods in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes is limited since the mechanisms, interactions, and synergisms combined with heterogeneities and network complexities besides the incompatibilities of different chemicals are encountered in ...

The influence of wettability and carbon dioxide injection on hydrocarbon recovery [PDF]

, 2009
This study can be divided into two sections. First, a detailed study of petrophysical properties and the impact of wettability is performed on cores from a producing heterogeneous carbonate reservoir from the Middle East.

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Wettability Alteration of a Heavy Oil/Brine/Carbonate System with Temperature

, 2015
The wettability of reservoir rock is a crucial factor controlling displacement efficiency and ultimate oil recovery. In this study, the wettability of carbonate reservoir rocks as a function of temperature has been studied by measuring the Amott index to

Interfacial Modification and Dispersion of Short Carbon Fiber and the Properties of Composite Papers as Gas Diffusion Layer for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC)

BioResources, 2014
Short carbon fibers (SCF) were modified with oxidation and coupling treatment to improve their water-wettability and bonding properties. Four types of dispersants were studied and discussed.

Engineered extracellular vesicles enriched with the miR‐214/199a cluster enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the miR‐214/199a cluster is associated with recurrence in ovarian cancer. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (m214‐sEVs) elevate miR‐214‐3p/miR‐199a‐5p in tumor cells, suppress β‐catenin, TLR4, and YKT6 signaling, reprogram tumor‐derived sEV cargo, reduce chemoresistance and migration, and enhance carboplatin efficacy and survival in ...

Deciphering transcriptional plasticity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma reveals alterations in sensory neuron innervation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pancreatic sensory neurons innervating healthy and PDAC tissue were retrogradely labeled and profiled by single‐cell RNA sequencing. Tumor‐associated innervation showed a dominant neurofilament‐positive subtype, altered mitochondrial gene signatures, and reduced non‐peptidergic neurons.

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.
