The accurate evaluation of shale oil and gas reservoirs is great significance to the integrated development geology engineering. Based on core analysis, conventional logging, array acoustic logging data, total organic carbon, hydrocarbon generation potential, brittleness, anisotropy were calculated. p-wave time difference curves calculated by artificial neural network (ANN) method curve fitting...

Abstract Facies studies represent a key element of reservoir characterization. In practice, this can be done by making use core and petrophysical data. The high cost difficulties drilling coring operations coupled with the time-intensive nature have led researchers toward using well-log data as an alternative. Teapot Dome Oilfield, where are limited to those from only single well, we used for e...

The recent discovery of melanopsin-containing retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) has led to a fundamental reassessment of non-image forming processing, such as circadian photoentrainment and the pupillary light reflex. In the conventional view of retinal physiology, rods and cones were assumed to be the only photoreceptors in the eye and were, therefore, considered responsible for non-image process...

Presently unaccounted but quite probable ”chemical factor” may be responsible for the formation of old metal-rich globular clusters (MRGCs) in spheroids, as well as of their conterparts, young (intermediate–age) massive star clusters (MSCs) in irregulars. Their formation presumably occurs ∼ at the same stage of the host galaxies’ chemical evolution and is related to the essentially increased SF...

We investigated the effects of lentivirus-mediated RNAi targeting of Nogo Receptor (NgR) on the proliferation and survival of murine retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) in vitro and in vivo. Cultured mRGCs and C57BL/6 male mice were divided into 4 experimental groups: blank, model [100 μM N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)], nscRNA (100 μM NMDA+ nscRNA vectors) and siNgR (100 μM NMDA+ siNgR vectors). CCK-8...
