Microbial enhanced oil recovery: literature survey http://www.clw.csiro.au/publications/science/2008/ WFO-MicrobialOilRecovery.pdf This report is well referenced and contains some general information on enhanced recovery techniques and biosurfactants. Oil spill: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_spill This Wikipedia entry is a good starting point for information on oil spills. Parts of...

Tumour radiobiology beyond fractionation

Historically it has been shown repeatedly that single high doses of radiation do not allow a therapeutic differential between tumor and critical normal tissues but dose fractionation does. The purpose of conventional dose fractionation is to increase dose to the tumor while preserving normal tissue function. Tumors are generally irradiated with 2Gy dose per fraction delivered daily to a more or...

Optical Activity of Petroleum

HE question of the origin of petroleum has long been debated. In the history of this question, the fact of the optical activity of petroleum has occupied an important place. It was pointed out ( 1 , 2 ) by Walden that "inorganic" hypotheses for explaining the origin of petroleum did not account for its optical activity. Because of the increasing certainty that all petroleums possessed optical a...
