Lidar Measurements of Dust Aerosols during Three Field Campaigns in 2010, 2011 and 2012 over Northwestern China

Dust aerosol optical properties retrieval and radiative forcing over northwestern China during the 2008 China‐U.S. joint field experiment

[1] The Atmosphere Radiation Measurements Program’s Ancillary Facility (AAF/ SMART‐COMMIT) was deployed to Zhangye (39.082°N, 100.276°E), which is located in a semidesert area of northwest China, during the period of late April to mid June in 2008. We selected 11 cases to retrieve dust aerosol optical depth (AOD), Angstrom exponent, size distribution, single‐scattering albedo (SSA) and asymmetr...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Lidar Backscattering Measurements of Background Stratospheric Aerosols

Characterization of human Influenza Viruses in Lebanon during 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 post-pandemic seasons.

OBJECTIVE To genetically characterize human influenza viruses and their susceptibilities to antivirals during two post-pandemic seasons in Lebanon. METHODS Influenza virus was isolated from nasopharyngeal swabs that were obtained from patients with influenza-like illness during 2010-2012 and further analyzed both phenotypically and genotypically. RESULTS During the 2010-2011 season, both 20...
