Abstract In many oil reservoirs worldwide, the downhole pressure does not have ability to lift produced fluids surface. order produce these fluids, pumps are used artificially fluids; this method is referred as artificial lift. More than seventy percent of all currently producing wells being by methods. One most applied methods sucker rod pump. Sucker considered a well-established technology in...

9 In some sour reservoirs and tertiary oil recovery blocks, SO42in solution can cause the corrosion 10 and corrosion fatigue of the sucker rods. In this paper, the corrosion behaviors of super-strength 11 sucker rod FG20 (16Mn2SiCrMoVTiA) steel in the well fluid are investigated by electrochemical 12 measurements, and electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) analysis. The results show that FG20 ste...

Cellular proliferation of rat glioma C6 BU1 cells in tissue culture is dependent on the presence of either calf or foetal-calf serum in the medium. Foetal-calf serum stimulated a high-affinity GTPase in membranes derived from C6 BU1 cells. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin decreased the high-affinity GTPase activity substantially, and attenuated the foetal-calf-serum-stimulated inc...

Lobosorchis tibaldiae n. gen. and n. sp. (Digenea: Cryptogonimidae) is described from the intestine, pyloric ceca, and rectum of 2 species of Lutjanus (Pisces: Lutjanidae), Lutjanus carponotatus and Lutjanus fulviflamma, from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia, and New Caledonia. The genus is tentatively placed in the Neochasminae and is distinguished within the Cryptogonimidae by th...

Stem and root tumors and teratomata may be induced in tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L., var. One Sucker) by total debudding. Intact plants or plants only decapitated produced no tumors or teratomata throughout their life time. These findings suggest a possibly important oncological relationship between normal growth and tumorous growth. Prevention of normal regeneration (apical and axillary...

In ungulates, parturition is correlated with a reduction in movement rate. With advances in movement-based technologies comes an opportunity to develop new techniques to assess reproduction in wild ungulates that are less invasive and reduce biases. DeMars et al. (2013, Ecology and Evolution 3:4149-4160) proposed two promising new methods (individual- and population-based; the DeMars model) tha...

The present study was performed to record new definitive hosts of Isthmiophora hortensis, and to describe morphological characteristics derived from a variety of worm samples for clarification of its taxonomic validity. Morphological characteristics with dimensions were observed in worm samples (n=21) from naturally infected wild animals, including a raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides from Gi...

Low-head dams in arid regions restrict fish movement and create novel habitats that have complex effects on fish assemblages. The influence of low-head dams and artificial wetlands on fishes in Muddy Creek, a tributary of the Colorado River system in the USA was examined. Upstream, fish assemblages were dominated by native species including two species of conservation concern, bluehead sucker, ...

Different lineages experience different rates of phenotypic diversification, resulting in greater or lower variance in the expression of phenotypic traits among the species within a lineage. Here, morphological diversification is investigated in 14 different trematode families, based on a dataset comprising morphometric data on body size and 4 anatomical structures (oral sucker, ventral sucker,...
