Abstract The heavy oil reservoir is a special kind of and gas that differs from the conventional in many ways. Due to high viscosity crude oil, it not easy recover. When underground exceeds 150 cp, land field generally developed by thermal recovery. S.Z. oilfield Bohai Sea, with surface 3000–25,000 cp 400–1000 cp. Limited offshore equipment, development strategy oilfields can't be directly appl...

BACKGROUND Toddalia asiatica root bark as an effective hemostatic natural medicine or Chinese materia medica was applied in China for long history, its complex drug action mechanisms and unclear substance basis have been constraining the development of this drug. RESULTS An intelligentized strategy by LC-ESI Q-TOF MSE was presented in this study for rapid identification of hemostatic chemical...

An emerging body of evidence suggests that half of asthma in both children and adults is associated with chronic lung infection. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequency of viable Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cp) and C. trachomatis (Ct) in the respiratory tracts of paediatric patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples obtained from 182 ch...

A method is proposed for the interpolation of daily maximum and minimum air temperatures (Tx and Tn, respectively) at the regional scale, taking into account the atmospheric circulation patterns (CPs). The study region was in southeast France (150×250 km). Daily temperatures measured at 152 meteorological stations were available, and CPs from automatic classification performed every day by Mété...

As we put 2017 behind us, I am dedicating this editorial to the celebration of Canada’s 150 birthday. I was fortunate to be in Ottawa for the month of August where I took in several Canada 150 events and displays, the most memorable and inspiring being MosaïCanada in Gatineau (created by the world famous Mosaïcultures internationales de Montréal http://english.mosaicanada.ca/). So impressed and...

A simple and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of seven phenolic compounds in aqueous samples was developed by dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) coupled with capillary electrophoresis (CE), namely phenol, 4-chlorophenol (4-CP), pentachlorophenol (PCP), 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) and 2,6-dichlorophenol (2,6-DCP)...

Time-dependence in B(t) → ππ and B0(t) → ππ is utilized to obtain a maximal set of information on strong and weak phases. One can thereby check theoretical predictions of a small strong phase δ between penguin and tree amplitudes. A discrete ambiguity between δ ≃ 0 and δ ≃ π may be resolved by comparing the observed charge-averaged branching ratio predicted for the tree amplitude alone, using m...

BACKGROUND Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) eliminates the positioning errors and allows the clinician to more accurately assess the radiographic parameters present. To elucidate the 3D geometry of the acetabulum and the extent of hip subluxation/dislocation in patients with cerebral palsy (CP), quantitative morphometric analysis was performed using 3D-CT data. METHODS We evaluat...

Five Angus heifers (285 kg) with duodenal and ileal cannulas were used to study the effects of feeding mineral acid neutralizers on digesta and fecal pH, intestinal acid flow, DM, starch and CP digestion and amino acid absorption in cattle fed a high-concentrate diet (7.5 kg/d). The experimental design was a 5 x 5 latin square. Treatments included control diet alone or control diet with the add...
