The Paleogene Liushagang Formation is part of the Fushan Sag, a continental lacustrine basin located at theSoutheastern margin Beibuwan Basin, South China Sea. Further understanding deep-water gravityflow deposits in this formation will be conducive to lithologic reservoir exploration sag. In study,three members Formation, SQEls3 SQEls2 and SQEls1, from old young, are used withcore observation,...

In this paper, taking the shale of Chang 7-Chang 9 oil formation in Yanchang Formation southeastern Ordos Basin as an example, through study heterogeneity characteristics, starting from preprocessing supervision data set, a logging interpretation method total organic carbon content (TOC) on lithofacies-based Categorical regression model (LBCRM) is proposed. It show that: 1) Based core observati...

A quantitative micro-complement fixation test capable of detecting nanogram quantities of antigen is described. The test is simple to perform and is highly reproducible. Typical results from three antigen-antibody systems are given.

Laser micromachining has the capability to fabricate very small and basic 2.5 D geometric features on a range of materials in the form of laser ablation or irradiation. Short pulsed lasers that can achieve wide range of wavelengths in the form of harmonics of infrared laser beam at 1064 nm wavelength have been a very effective micro-machining tool used for hole drilling, cutting, scribing, trim...

BACKGROUND The addition of folic acid to all enriched cereal-grain foods, mandated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), was initiated in January 1998. Although this program was designed such that typical folate intakes would be increased by approximately 100 micro g/d and that the risk of intakes > 1000 micro g/d (the FDA's safe upper limit of daily intake) would be minimal, its actual ef...

This paper details a methodology for taking into account seismic information into 3D high resolution stochastic simulations of lithofacies. The simulation is based on a non stationary truncated gaussian approach. Within this frame, a 3D matrix of facies proportion is built. It is estimated from both well and seismic-derived proportions. Thus the seismic attributes are previously turned into sof...

At Podsused near Zagreb, in an abandoned surface excavation of cement marls, near Kostanjek (Fig. 1) an 83 m thick lithostratigraphical column was investigated comprising layers of Sarmatian and Pannonian age. Five lithofacies units (A, AB, B, C, D) were separated on the basis of their structural-petrographic characteristics. From layers with greater concentrations of fossils, a rich community ...

OBJECTIVE The structural basis of normoalbuminuric renal insufficiency in patients with type 2 diabetes remains to be elucidated. We compared renal biopsy findings in patients with type 2 diabetes and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and measured GFR of <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, associated with either normo-, micro-, or macroalbuminuria. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In patients with normo...

Demolition of older housing for urban redevelopment purposes benefits communities by removing housing with lead paint and dust hazards and by creating spaces for lead paint-free housing and other community resources. This study was conducted to assess changes, if any, in ambient dust lead levels associated with demolition of blocks of older lead-containing row houses in Baltimore, Maryland (USA...

In this paper, we describe methods for the 3D test of MEMS micro-components using optical interferometry. Utilizing optical interference, microscope optics, PZT nano-scanning and a CCD camera, the proposed technique can detect deformations and measure surface contours with a precision of the order of nanometers. Application of the proposed technique is demonstrated by testing on two typical com...
