The petrophysical analysis of the early Eocene Sui Main Limestone (SML) has been conducted in Kharnhak-1 well for the prospect of the hydrocarbon exploration of the Khairpur-Jacobabad High, Middle Indus Basin, Pakistan. The petrophysical analysis of SML is carried out on the basis of well logs including gamma ray, spontaneous potential, resistivity, neutron, and density logs. These analyses lea...

OBJECTIVE To define and evaluate the malaria transmission potential in the Yangtze River, following construction of the Three Gorges Reservoir. METHODS Six villages, namely, Kaixian, Fengjie, Wanzhou, Fuling, Yubei, and Zigui were selected for investigating the malaria transmission potential in the reservoir. Transmission potential was estimated by mathematical modeling and evaluation of the ...

through a collection of cooperative agents called ants, the near optimal solution to the multi-reservoir operation problem may be effectively achieved employing ant colony optimization algorithms (acoas). the problem is approached by considering a finite operating horizon, classifying the possible releases from the reservoir(s) into pre-determined intervals, and projecting the problem on a grap...

monkeys are important experimental models for investigating human diseases. the aim of this study was to survey the alimentary tract parasites among imported vervet monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops) to iran. fecal samples were collected from 40 vervets imported from tanzania to razi vaccine and serum research institute of iran. fecal samples were assessed by direct smear and telman sedimentation...

We present two methods for barrierless equilibrium sampling of molecular systems based on the recently proposed Kirkwood method (J. Chem. Phys. 2009, 130, 134102). Kirkwood sampling employs low-order correlations among internal coordinates of a molecule for random (or non-Markovian) sampling of the high dimensional conformational space. This is a geometrical sampling method independent of the p...

conclusions the widespread distribution of l. major parasites in human suggests not only t. indica was the main reservoir but also other rodents and mammalian hosts might be the reservoir hosts of zcl in the region. molecular and phylogenetic analyses confirmed the strength of haplotype variation maintaining the circulation of leishmania species in their reservoir hosts. results leishmania majo...

Reservoir engineers have to predict the behavior of a hydrocarbon reservoir by building a simulation model which can reproduce as best as possible the data collected on the field. These data fall into two types: static data, which are invariable in time, and dynamic data, which evolve according to fluid motions in the reservoir. In this paper, we focus on the integration of dynamic data related...

The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is a primary site for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection, replication, and dissemination. After an initial explosive phase of infection, HIV establishes latency. In addition to CD4 T cells, macrophages are readily infected, which can persist for long periods of time. Though macrophages at various systemic sites a...

The continuous development of global economy with decreasing in available hydrocarbon sources and increasing discovery and extraction costs due to decrease in-situ oil and gas reservoir, displays the necessity of using new techniques for the improve rate of penetration and productivity in well. Nanotechnology has already contributed significantly to technological advances in the energy industri...

This study assessed the economic impact of the potential reduction of timber supply to the local forest industry and the local economy from a proposed reservoir in Northeast Texas --Marvin Nichols I Reservoir. The study first evaluated the forested acres at the reservoir site and those under habitat mitigation requirements, providing a foundation for timber supply impact assessment. Then, the t...
