In the present study, the petroleum ether and alcoholic extract of Morinda citrifolia L. (Noni) leaves were subjected to preliminary screening for antimicrobial and anthelmintic activity. The alcoholic extract exhibited significant anti bacterial, antifungal activity, comparable to the standard drug tetracycline. The petroleum ether and alcoholic extract were evaluated for Anthelmintic activity...

 Cost-competitive with petroleum fuels  Long-term stable price for budget forecasting  Made from sustainable, renewable Biomass residuals  Storable and pumpable liquid similar to petroleum fuels  Clean burning fuel without the sulfur and particulates from petroleum fuels  Low greenhouse gas emissions Sustainability issues have become an important part of the supply chain for operati...

/ Petroleum asphaltenes are defined as the n-pentane or n-heptane insoluble but toluene soluble fraction of crude oils or petroleum residua. This operational definition is a consequence of the extremely complex structure of asphaltenes which consist of thousands of compounds containing highly aromatic cores, long chain aliphatic groups, heteroatoms (sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen) as well as trac...

the most usual type of petroleum mulch, which has been successfully used to combat desertification in large areain iran for more than thirty years, is produced by heavy residue petroleum cuts. the petroleum mulch consists of awide range of different heavy hydrocarbons such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs). pahs are present atlow level in petroleum mulch, where there is contact with wa...

Recent advances in interdisciplinary fields as diverse as astrophysics, cosmogeophysics, nuclear geology, etc. have led to interesting developments in the non-organic theory of the genesis of petroleum. This theory, which holds that petroleum is of an abiogenic primordial origin, provides an explanation for certain features of petroleum geology that are hard to explain within the standard organ...

The middle Cretaceous Colorado Group of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin consists predominantly of mudstone deposited during major marine inundations interspersed with relatively thin sandstone and conglomerate beds. The Colorado Group petroleum system, containing a large portion of the light-medium oil and natural gas reserves within the Middle Jurassic to Cretaceous foreland basin succe...

Water-in-oil mixtures were grouped into four states or classes: stable, mesostable, unstable, and entrained water. Of these, only stable and mesostable states can be characterized as emulsions. These states were established according to lifetime, visual appearance, complex modulus, and differences in viscosity. Water content at formation was not an important factor. Water-in-oil emulsions made ...
