Methane hydrates are present in substantial quantities in Northeast Asia and have the potential to disrupt global energy markets once economical extraction methods are identified and developed. Any Northeast Asian country that is able to exploit its methane hydrate resources will potentially alter its need for hydrocarbon imports. This would greatly impact future energy trade relations between ...

Declining oil prices has led to a reduction of petroleum exploration as production no longer lucrative area investment in the previous years. Current activities are supported by field work which intensive considering resources required. There is need develop low cost methods delineate areas potential hydrocarbon resources. This research uses Land Satellite (Landsat) 8 Operational Imager (OLI) f...

As a valuable mineral resource, uranium is extensively utilized in nuclear power generation, radiation therapy, isotope labeling, and tracing. In order to achieve energy structure diversification, reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels, promote the sustainable development of production consumption, research metallogenic mechanisms related technologies resources has been one focuses China...

bioremoval and bioreduction activities of hydrocarbon (diesel) isolation from environmental samples were studied by the activity of biosurfactant production, and calculating emulsification index, gravimetric, and ftir analysis along with the estimation of bacterial biomass. sample from soil near petrol, diesel pumps and water sample from thesjaswini river near padannakad, kasaragod, kerala, ind...

Hybrid clones segregating human chromosomes were prepared by fusing mouse RAG cells to fresh human bone marrow cells and tested for the mixed-function oxygenase [flavoprotein-linked monooxygenase; RH, reduced-flavoprotein:oxygen oxidoreductase (RH-hydroxylating); EC 1.14.14.1] arylhydrocarbon hydrocarbon hydroxylase. Neither constitutive nor induced aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity was det...

Hydrocarbon profiles on the cuticle of social insects act as multi-component recognition cues used to identify membership in a species, a colony or, within colonies, cues about its reproductive status or task group. To examine the role of structural complexity in ant hydrocarbon recognition cues, we studied the species recognition response of two ant species, Linepithema humile and Aphaenogaste...

The entrapment of residual hydrocarbon ganglia during water table fluctuations can produce a long-term contamination threat to groundwater supplies that is difficult to remove. The mobilization of entrapped hydrocarbon ganglia depends on the balance between capillary and gravitational forces represented by the Bond number. The present work focuses on the influence of the interfacial tension bet...

alkyl imidazolines have been reportedly used in a wide range of industrial formulations with different applications. ethoxylated alkyl imidazolines with appropriate ethoxylation degrees can be used as antioxidants and retarders in the formation of peroxides resulting from oxidation in hydrocarbon media. in this work, ethoxylated imidazolines were shown to be more effective in hydrocarbon media ...

The fate of hydrocarbons in the subsurface near Bemidji, Minnesota, has been investigated by a multidisciplinary group of scientists for over a quarter century. Research at Bemidji has involved extensive investigations of multiphase flow and transport, volatilization, dissolution, geochemical interactions, microbial populations, and biodegradation with the goal of providing an improved understa...
