Twenty-two genotypes of Brassica (B. rapa, B. juncea, and B. napus) were studied for correlation co-efficient between major fatty acids and path coefficient analysis to partition the cause and effect relationship into direct and indirect components. Correlation coefficient of major fatty acids revealed that significant and positive correlation was between palmitic and oleic acids, palmitic and ...

For the modeling and simulation of oil recovery from naturally fractured reservoirs during the gas injection process, an accurate value of the molecular diffusion coefficient (MDC) of gases from a gas filled fracture into the oil matrix is essential. During the injection of miscible fluids with oil, transport of the injectant and oil are controlled by fracture and matrix properties. Diffusion i...

Biological materials immersed in vegetable and mineral oil, such as rattan armor and wooden sleepers, have been extensively used since ancient times because of their excellent mechanical properties. This study quantitatively investigated the viscoelasticity and tribological performance of lignum vitae immersed in poly-alpha-olefin (PAO) and tung oils (Aleuritesfordii Hemsl.) to reveal the mecha...

In this paper, we analyze the outage probability of a multibranch selection combining (SC) based on the signal to interference ratio (SIR) over Weibull fading channels in case of non-identical power distribution per branches. Both, desired and interference signal envelopes are exponentially correlated Weibull random variables. Also, an analysis of effects of fading parameter β, correlation coef...

Inorganic elements in crude oil have been used the reconstruction of sedimentary environment and oil–oil (source) correlations; however, effect biodegradation on these has not investigated sufficiently. In this study, 14 oils from Miaoxi Sag Bohai Bay Basin, eastern China, were analyzed using molecular markers, trace elements, major to determine inorganic elements. The markers indicated that ar...

refractor ambiguities are big problem in seismic refraction method especially in seismic engineering. there can be hidden subsurface geological phenomena such as hidden faults and shear zones which are not simply predicted by the travel-time graph or some geophysical methods. head wave amplitudes are used to show the resolution of refractor ambiguities and the existence of anisotropy in complex...

Due to an increase in demand of petroleum products which are transported by vessels or exported by pipelines, oil spill management becomes a controversial issue in coastal environment safety as well as making serious financial problems. After spilling oil in the water body, oil spreads as a thin layer on the water surface. Currents, waves and wind are the main causes of oil slick transport. The...

BACKGROUND The Script Concordance test (SC) test is an assessment tool that measures the capacity to solve ill-defined problems, that is, reasoning in a context of uncertainty. This study assesses the feasibility, reliability and validity of the SC test made available on the Web to French urologists. METHODS A 97 items SC test was developed based on major educational objectives of French urol...

A field trail was conducted at Cental Research Farm, SHUATS, Naini, Prayagraj, U.P. during kharif season of 2021 in Randomised Block Design with eight treatments were evaluated against, Spodoptera frugiperda i.e., Spinetoram 11.7%SC @0.9ml/lit, Chlorantraniliprole 18.5%SC @0.4ml/lit, Flubendiamide 39.35%SC @0.24ml/lit, Emamectin benzoate 5%SG @0.4g/lit, Neem oil 2% @5mi/lit, NPV @0.5ml/lit, Nov...
