Aquamicrobium defluvii W13Z1 was isolated from petroleum-contaminated drill cuttings from the Bohai Sea and could degrade petroleum hydrocarbon with 5% NaCl at 15°C. Here, we present the 4.8-Mb draft genome sequence of this strain, which may provide useful information about the mechanism of petroleum degradation in drill cuttings.

The development of computer network technology is rapidly advancing in response to society's increasing demand for services. Currently, the most widely used protocol IPv4, but it has some limitations. To address these limitations, a new protocol, IPv6, been developed. More and more devices are using IPv6 as their IP address, while many existing technologies internet still use IPv4. Therefore, m...

Rice–wheat cropping system is very common in India. It contributes to over 70% of total food grain production in the country with an area of 12 M ha under this cropping system. However, it is estimated that under rice and wheat crops separately the area is 42.31 and 22.98 M ha respectively. Looking to the above facts a study at farmer’s field of Ambedkar Nagar district was under taken to evalua...

PURPOSE High-energy lasers have been proposed as an alternative to the conventional surgical drill in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The aims of this study were to compare thermal changes of the bone surface, procedure time, and volume of the removed bone after drilling with an erbium (Er):yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser versus a low-speed surgical drill. The bone sections were observed un...

A 34-year-old man received an electric shock (240 volts A.C.) in his right hand from a faulty domestic power drill, the current earthing through his left hand. Tetanic muscle spasm prevented him from releasing the drill for approximately 15 sec, causing severe pain in his neck and left shoulder. For several days he experienced muscle spasms throughout his left arm and neuralgic pain radiating d...

The increasing global energy demand has pushed the oil industry towards developing more innovative and advanced methods of enhancing oil recovery even under unfavourable technical and environmental conditions. The severity of many operational problems affecting the drilling and production of oil and gas wells is worsened by inaccessibility; hence, remedial efforts must be implemented from afar....
