Insertional hypermutation in mineral oil-induced plasmacytomas

Ion adsorption-induced wetting transition in oil-water-mineral systems

The relative wettability of oil and water on solid surfaces is generally governed by a complex competition of molecular interaction forces acting in such three-phase systems. Herein, we experimentally demonstrate how the adsorption of in nature abundant divalent Ca(2+) cations to solid-liquid interfaces induces a macroscopic wetting transition from finite contact angles (≈ 10°) with to near-zer...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Characteristics of A - MuLV - Plus - Pristane - induced Plasmacytomas

The cells from plasmacytomas induced in BALB/c and susceptible BALB/c congenic strains of mice by pristane (2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane) (1) have non-random chromosomal translocations, rcpt (6;15) or rcpt(12;15) (2, 3). To date, the karyotypes of 27 early transfer generation or primary pristine-induced plasmacytomas have determined, and 26 of the tumors have either rcpt(6; 15) or rcpt(12;1...
