Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been identified as a method of sequestering CO2 recovered from power plants. In CO2flood EOR, CO2 is injected into an oil reservoir to reduce oil viscosity, reduce interfacial tension, and cause oil swelling which improves oil recovery. Previous studies suggest that substantial amounts of CO2 from power plants could be sequestered in EOR projects, thus reducing t...

Many water repellents, such as classic wood preservatives have the disadvantage of being harmful to the environment. Therefore, interest increased even eco-friendly, or of biodegradable material. Natural oils (tallow, linseed oil), appears to be capable of preventing the wood water uptake. However, the total amount of oil required to achieve a high penetration of the sapwood. The aim of this st...

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been identified as a method of sequestering CO(2) recovered from power plants. In CO(2)-flood EOR, CO(2) is injected into an oil reservoir to reduce oil viscosity, reduce interfacial tension, and cause oil swelling which improves oil recovery. Previous studies suggest that substantial amounts of CO(2) from power plants could be sequestered in EOR projects, thus r...

gas injection into heavy oil reservoirs could result in high ultimate recovery of oil. experimental studies showed that an application of a combined technology of gas assisted gravity drainage (gagd) and vapor extraction (vapex) could increase final oil recovery of a candidate viscous oil reservoir. in this paper the results of laboratory investigation are presented, including pressure-volume-t...

Effects of maternal dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on the spleen fatty acid composition and BSA-induced wing web swellings were investigated in broilers. One hundred twenty broiler breeder hens 26 wk of age were randomly assigned to diets containing mainly wheat, corn, soy meal, barley, oat and 5% (wt/wt) added sunflower oil, fish oil, or a mix of sunflower and fish oils (1:1). Afte...

a level with the thyroid gland. The mother of the girl stated that five years ago spontaneously a swelling arose in the neck. The swelling gave no trouble, and beyond rubbing with mustard oil 110 notice was taken, but as the swelling slowly enlarged and caused giddiness and stiffness of the neck, she brought the girl into hospital for treatment. No history of traumatism could be elicited nor we...

Poly(diethylaminoethyl-g-ethylene glycol) microparticles were prepared by suspension polymerization of diethylaminoethyl methacrylate, poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate and the crosslinking agent tetra(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate in silicone oil using redox initiators. Particles of different sizes, crosslinking ratios and graft molecular weights were prepared. The changes in the swelli...

results gelatin films exhibited good tensile strength and elongation at break, water solubility, swelling, and water vapor permeability. incorporation of tam into the gelatin films caused a significant decrease in tensile strength and swelling, and a significant increase in elongation at break, water solubility, water vapor permeability and whiteness of the films. gelatin films exhibited low an...
