The routine measurement of direction-dependent reservoir rock properties like permeability often takes place along the axial direction of core samples. As permeability is a tensor property of porous materials, it should be fully described by a tensor matrix or by three main permeabilities in principal directions. Due to compaction, cementation, and other lithification processes, which take plac...

The presence of promoter(s) of ethylene biosynthesis in young cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fruits (bolls) was demonstrated by injection of an aqueous extract from bolls into other bolls and measurement of a 3-fold increase in rate of ethylene evolution. Injection of methionine did not affect rate of ethylene production, indicating that the promoter extracted from bolls was not methionine. Inj...

The 2B proteins of coxsackievirus and poliovirus (PV) share significant structural similarity and exhibit similar biochemical activities, namely inhibition of protein secretion and modification of membrane permeability. Both proteins contain two hydrophobic domains in the carboxy-terminal two-thirds of their sequence, of which one has the potential to form a cationic amphipathic alpha-helix. To...

Membrane permeability is a desired property in drug design, but there have been difficulties in quantifying the direct drug partitioning into native membranes. Platensimycin (PL) is a new promising antibiotic whose biosynthetic production is costly. Six dialkylamine analogs of PL were synthesized with identical pharmacophores but different side chains; five of them were found inactive. To addre...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation times were studied in acclimated and nonacclimated Kharkov winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crowns and acclimated cell aggregates to determine if membrane permeability was altered by freezing. The NMR water signal decay consisted of two exponential components: a short one arising from extracellular water, and a long one arising from intracellular w...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolution is the secondary trapping mechanism enhancing long-term security of CO2 in confined geological formations. injected into a randomly multilayered formation will preferentially migrate along high permeability layers, increasing efficiency. In this study, sequential Gaussian simulation adopted to construct stratified saline formations, and two-phase flow based on M...

the volumetric changes in the coal matrix (coal shrinkage), permeability under various gas environment conditions as well as perographical properties were studied in the laboratory. the shrinkage and permeability of coal were examined with respect to changing gas type and confining pressures. the shrinkage tests were carried out in high-pressure bombs while the permeability study was conducted ...

Soft clay is widely distributed in our country, and this type of soil usually has the character large compressibility poor permeability, so foundation composed mainly soft prone to primary secondary consolidation coupling settlement deformation after completion construction. In paper, redefined improved time logarithmic coordinate system, calculation formula given. Then an extended unified hard...

The study discusses the characteristics of Jurassic reservoir in Shenquan Oilfield Xinjiang. Qiketai Sanjianfang formation mainly develops delta front facies and shore shallow lake sand bodies.The lithological are fine sandstone siltstone, physical properties target layer medium porosity permeability. space is pore type, composed secondary pores, including intergranular dissolved intragranular ...

Abstract Volume transformation technology has become a key for developing low-permeability/tight oil and gas reservoirs. Evaluating the post-fracturing effect is very important development plan formulation fracturing evaluation. In this paper, vicinity of main fracture divided into zone secondary zone. The with infinite conductivity branch increased permeability are used to describe area. Based...
