Estimation of reserves in tight gas and shale gas reservoirs is problematic due to the low to ultra-low permeability characteristics of these reservoir systems. The sole application of conventional decline curve analysis methodologies often yields erroneous reserve estimates. Therefore, the use of theoretically-based production analysis techniques has become a must to analyze well performance a...

XBP1 is a key transcription factor that regulates the mammalian unfolded protein response. Its expression is regulated by unconventional mRNA splicing that is carried out by endonuclease IRE1 and a specific, as yet unknown, RNA ligase in response to the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER. Conventional mRNA splicing occurs only in the nucleus, but it has remained unclear whether unconve...

Researchers in China have tended not to distinguish between conventional and unconventional oil, leading to inaccuracies in their estimates of future oil production. The purpose of this paper is to make an accurate estimate of the pattern of China’s future oil production, by properly distinguishing between these oil types. We make our analysis by treating conventional oil as a single category, ...

Sea urchin coelomocytes undergo an inducible structural transformation from petalloid to filopodial form during the 'clotting' response in sea urchins. Using a petalloid coelomocyte model, stimulated coelomocytes exhibited bidirectional particle/vesicle motility with a broad distribution of velocities, ranging from 0.02 to 0.12 microns s-1 in the outward bound direction. Coelomocytes treated wi...

the aims of this study were to evaluate the treatment efficiency and effectiveness of vetiveria zizaniodesof two samples of unconventional water of golgohar mining and industrial company. the experimental samples were included mine wastewater and saline ground water. this research was conducted in a greenhouse at central water research laboratory of university of tehran. this experiment was des...

With the rapid depletion of conventional natural gas resources in China and the increasing demand for natural gas as well as the improvement in the exploitation technologies of natural gas, the development of unconventional natural gas resources is rather urgent and feasible day by day and possible at the same time. However, the development of unconventional natural gas fields in China started ...
