Geophysical prospecting for resources.

Geophysical prospecting with controlled - source electromagnetic data Oriol

Controlled-source electromagnetics (CSEM) is an active geophysical technique sensitive to the electrical resistivity of the subsoil, with the peculiarity that the source producing the electromagnetic signal is a man-made device. It has been largely applied for offshore environments in hydrocarbon exploration due to the good penetration depth and resolution, although its application onshore is s...

Prospecting for (Campaign) Gold

Campaigns and political parties are faced with the immensely important practical challenge of financing their efforts. Raising money is instrumental to all other aims. In recent years, this task has been complicated by the need to enlist ever greater numbers of contributors to raise ever larger sums of money. At the same time, fundraising burdens are eased a bit because contributors flock toget...

Prospecting Microbial Extremophiles as Valuable Resources of Biomolecules for Biotechnological Applications

Life has been said to exist in virtually all habitats. Of great astonishment is existence of life in habitats that were considered to be lethal and from which viable organisms were found to survive and even proliferate. Organisms that are able to tolerate these environments are referred to as extremophiles. Examples among many others include thermophiles and hyperthermophiles (tolerant to high ...

Prospecting for an HIV vaccine

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) sets several challenges for the development of a preventative HIV vaccine. Predictable, protective natural immunity against HIV does not occur and so unlike most other diseases for which vaccines exist, there are few guideposts from natural infection. Nonetheless, six vaccine efficacy trials have occurred. One in particular, the Thai trial called RV144, showed...
