Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) were analyzed in marine wildlife from Greenland, Iceland, and the Swedish west coast. CPs up to C29 detected samples Arctic, indicating long-range transport of an industrial chemical group with a 2-million-ton annual production volume. CP concentrations generally higher biota The Sweden/Arctic concentration ratios for very-short-chain (vSCCPs, C<10), short-chain (SCC...

The Taranaki Basin in New Zealand presents the most promising territory for strategies of hydrocarbon exploration and development. This basin contains multiple source rock levels its sedimentary successions formed during syn- post-rift periods. deepest rocks, found Rakopi Formation, were deposited deltaic to deep marine environments consist gas-prone coal organic-rich mudstone lithofacies. Howe...

The hydrogen isotopic composition of terrestrial plant waxes (δ2Hwax) is widely used to reconstruct past hydroclimate. δ2Hwax values reflect source water or precipitation δ2H (δ2Hprecip) values, and when extracted from sediment archives, records δ2Hprecip can be generated. In order better interpret these records, modern calibrations between are required vegetation location diverge in other regi...

The crude oils from the reservoirs of Mela-01 and Mela-04 wells located in Kohat Basin, Pakistan, were geochemically analyzed to evaluate origin, depositional conditions, thermal maturity rock units possible facies which these sourced. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was performed on samples obtain biomarker non-biomarker parameters. Analyzed parameters, including carbon preference...

The purpose of this work was to propose sustainable solutions for advanced oil recovery by evaluating the ability bacterium Pseudomonas sp. in biotransformation alkanes, addition determining strain growth patterns under extreme conditions. For this, initially carried out laboratory conditions, which crude fractionated obtain saturated fraction used experiment. bacterial tolerance salinity and t...

background: toxoplasmosis, a worldwide zoonotic disease, is caused by toxo­plasma gondii . the distribution of genetic diversity of t. gondii in wild animals is of great importance to understand the transmission of the parasite in the environ­ment. however, little is known about t. gondii prevalence in wild animals and birds in china. methods: we conducted the genetic characterization of t. gon...
