In the valley of Bamiyan, Afghanistan, ca 2000 years ago, two big standing Buddha statues were carved out of the sedimentary rock of the region. They were 53 and 35 meters high and the Great one figured as the tallest representations of a standing Buddha. In March 2001 the Taleban militia demolished the colossal statues, as they were considered an insult to Islam. After the destruction, a conso...

The casing damage of oil and water wells has seriously affected the normal production oilfield. This paper analyzes high occurrence in Saertu layer, finds that there is a contradiction between injection formation prevention control damage. Although wellhead pressure can be guaranteed to lower than its fracture during production, injected energy at includes potential kinetic energy. Because rela...

In article, use criterion intensity well proposed assess level rig. On basis conducted research, depe...

We recently identified a novel human protein kinase, p160 ROCK, as a putative downstream target of the small GTPase Rho. Using the human ROCK cDNA as a probe, we isolated cDNA of two distinct, highly related sequences from mouse libraries. One encoded a mouse counterpart of human ROCK (ROCK-I), and the other encoded a novel ROCK-related kinase (ROCK-II). Like ROCK/ROCK-I, ROCK-II also bound to ...

Abstract Core samples were collected from three wells, one onshore and two offshore, Qatar’s Upper Jurassic Arab D reservoir. The subjected to multiproxy petrographic chemical analyses identify their micro- nanoporosity types understand evolution destruction. Based on the petrophysical properties of studied rocks, succession was divided into seven rock types. Primary microporosity includes inte...

Drilling into a rock massif is energetically extremely consumptive process. Hence the optimization of drilling regime with objective of energy consumption minimization, is very important. Proposed article discusses partial problem of this problem. During the drilling process it is useful to know the drilled rock type, whereas to particular drilled rock needs convenient drilling regime, which is...

Abstract Dimension stone is natural rock prepared for building use. It rapidly colonised by microorganisms that cause discoloration (mainly cyanobacteria, algae and fungi) structural damage. Microbial mobilisation of ions leads to new superficial or internal deposits, weakening the structure. Cyanobacteria fungi may penetrate, filling pores creating spaces. Lichens, fungus/phototroph associatio...
