Background We aimed to investigate different biological properties of aerial parts essential oil of Ferulago trifida Boiss and larvicidal activity of its volatile oils from all parts of plant. Methods Essential oil was prepared by steam distillation and analyzed by Gas chromatography and GC/Mass. Antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic effects and AChE inhibitory of the oil were investigated us...

Michigan's first commercial oil field was discovered at Port Huron, St. Clair County, in 1886. By 1910, 21 shallow wells had been completed in the Dundee formation at depths of about 500 to 650 feet. In 1910 the daily production from this field amounted to about 10 barrels of oil per day, all of which was used locally in the manufacture of lubricants. However, it was not until 1925 when the Sag...

The Oil & Gas Journal, in 2004, states that CO2 flooding is the fastest-growing enhanced oil recovery technique in USA, and production derived from CO2 projects has more than tripled from 50,000-Barrels/day to 200,000-Barrels/day. Cyclic injection of CO2 and N2 combines environmental benefits attendant to reducing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere and economic benefits realized through impro...

background: health status of offspring is programmed by maternal diet throughout gestation and lactation. the present study investigates the lasting effects of maternal supplementation with different amounts of soy oil or extra virgin olive oil (evoo) on weight and biochemical parameters during gestation and lactation of female mice offspring. methods: eight weeks old female c57bl/6 mice (n=40)...

Eighty-two out of the 100 hydrocarbonoclastic bacterial species that have been already isolated from oil-contaminated Kuwaiti sites, characterized by 16S rRNA nucleotide sequencing, and preserved in our private culture collection, grew successfully in a mineral medium free of any nitrogenous compounds with oil vapor as the sole carbon source. Fifteen out of these 82 species were selected for fu...

corophium volutator (pallas) has been recommended by the paris commission as one of the standard species for testing chemical used in offshore oil and gas exploration/production. in the present study, gut contents of corophium volutator have been analysed by electron probe microanalysis (epma) for baso4 and other heavy metal impurities after exposure tto spiked sediments following a standard as...

Oil testing has found widespread use in assessing the quality of the insulation system of a transformer. Techniques such as Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) have been proven to be reliable in this task, but are expensive, laborious and time consuming. It is also not available for field use. This paper proposes the combined use of gas and optical sensing technology for the testing of transformer oil...

Four in vitro experiments (Exp.) were conducted to evaluate lavender essential oil (LEO) effects at 0 (control), 250 (low dose), 500 (medium dose), 750 and 1000 µL per L (high doses) of incubation medium on rumen gas production kinetics (Exp.1), ruminal digestibility and fermentation (Exp.2), methane production (Exp.3) and rumen acidosis (Exp.4). The asymptote of gas production (A) increased qu...

One of the major challenges in petroleum industry is producing residual oil from underground. One of the major techniques for enhancing oil recovery (EOR) is using gas injection. However, gas has poor volumetric sweep efficiency, this is attributed to its high mobility which considers to be higher compared with oil and water mobility. Several techniques are proposed and applied for reducing gas...
