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. ...
Survival of bacteria during aerosolization.
One form of commercial application of microorganisms, including genetically engineered microorganisms is as an aerosol. To study the effect of aerosol-induced stress on bacterial survival, nonrecombinant spontaneous antibiotic-resistant mutants of four organisms, Enterobacter cloacae, Erwinia herbicola, Klebsiella planticola, and Pseudomonas syringae, were sprayed in separate experiments in a g...
متن کاملMice fed lipid-encapsulated Mycobacterium bovis BCG are protected against aerosol challenge with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Mice that consumed a single dose of 10(7) lipid-encapsulated Mycobacterium bovis BCG bacilli showed significant pulmonary and systemic protection against aerosol challenge with M. tuberculosis H37Rv. As an extension of previous challenge studies with virulent strains of M. bovis, this report describes a reduction in M. tuberculosis infection in mice vaccinated orally with lipid-encapsulated BCG...
متن کاملComparison of the protective efficacy of bacille calmette-Guérin vaccination against aerosol challenge with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis.
The aim of this study was to compare protection by bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination against aerosol challenge with either Mycobacterium bovis or Mycobacterium tuberculosis in guinea pigs. Animals were challenged 5 weeks after vaccination with 10 or 100 lung lesion-forming units (lfu) of M. bovis or M. tuberculosis. Four weeks after challenge, numbers of lung lesions and counts of viabl...
متن کاملFaithful Experimental Models of Human Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection
In spite of the remarkable progress made by the medical science in the last century, the effectiveness of tuberculosis (TB) treatment and vaccination has remained less than satisfactory. This has placed a very high burden on the public health systems of the third world. Annually, about 1.5 million deaths are attributed to TB [1]. The number of new cases seems to be on the rise, topping 9 millio...
