the objective of this research is to represent applicability of surface nuclear magnetic resonance (snmr) in aquifer characterization, based on snmr and electrical resistivity tomography data. snmr is the only geophysical method that directly detects water. two important parameters, porosity and permeability are available through inversion of initial amplitude and decay time constant versus pul...

conventional processes of food dewatering, such as thermal, have undesirable and destruction effects on vitamins, aromatic compounds and pigments. in addition, they are accompanied with some technological complications and energy consumption. thus, food concentration processes are directed to non-thermal techniques or methods with reduced heat effects. superabsorbents are highly hydrophilic pol...

Abstract To study the ore mineralization at outcrop scale we merge an advection–diffusion simulation with geochemical software iphreeqc to model mixing of two realistic fluids. We simulate infiltration a metal-rich fluid into rock that is saturated pore fluid. test feedback effects number scenarios based on outcrop-scale 5 × m consisting high-permeable vertical faults within low-permeable host ...

The well Sarai Sidhu-01 is located on Punjab Platform, Central Indus Basin, Pakistan. Punjab Platform is the eastern part of Central Indus Basin, and tectonically it is the stable portion of Indus Basin, which was least affected during Tertiary Himalayan orogeny. This study attempts to decipher reservoir potential for hydrocarbon exploration. It aims to delineate a subsurface hydrocarbon bearin...

The investigation and exploration of potential deep geothermal systems is based on detailed knowledge of their distinct reservoir characteristics. This is especially important in the exploration of potentially engineered geothermal systems and of mid to low enthalpy reservoir formations in greater depths, resp. In the early stages of geothermal reservoir exploration, characterization of the res...

Whereas cells productively infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) decay rapidly in the setting of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), latently infected resting CD4(+) T cells decay very slowly, persisting for the lifetime of the patient and thus forming a stable reservoir for HIV-1. It has been suggested that the stability of the latent reservoir is due to low-level...

CO2 Storage in Saline Aquifers — Saline aquifers represent a promising way for CO2 sequestration. Storage capacities of saline aquifers are very important around the world. The Sleipner site in the North Sea is currently the single case world-wide of CO2 storage in a saline aquifer. A general review is given on the specific risks for CO2 storage in saline aquifer. The regional distribution of C...

Controlled source electromagnetic transmitters create highly geometric coupled electric and magnetic vector fields that propagate in a way that is dependent on both the orientation of the transmitter and electrical conductivity distribution. There may be a good case for using cross well controlled source electromagnetic methods for monitoring injection of CO2 into deep saline or brackish sandst...

Abstract The unique properties of smart hydrogels combined with conducting surfaces opened new possibilities in the construction novel electrochemical devices. Electrodes modified thin gel layers demonstrate that are usually unachievable for bare electrodes. Usually a layer provides highly permeable matrix analytes, and can also serve as an immobilizing/impermeable larger molecules. Hydrogel ba...
