The exploitation of natural gas deposits also requires the transport extracted fluids through pipelines to their treatment facilities. Usually contain, in addition methane, ethane, liquid fractions propane, butane, hexane and sometimes salt water associated with deposit. Given that delivery for consumption must be carried out without oil liquids, flow rates extraction wells are taken two-phase ...

Side scan sonar in low-cost 'fishfinder' systems has become popular in aquatic ecology and sedimentology for imaging submerged riverbed sediment at coverages and resolutions sufficient to relate bed texture to grain-size. Traditional methods to map bed texture (i.e. physical samples) are relatively high-cost and low spatial coverage compared to sonar, which can continuously image several kilome...

The Atacama Desert, northern Chile, is one of the driest deserts on Earth and, as such, a natural laboratory to explore the limits of life and the strategies evolved by microorganisms to adapt to extreme environments. Here we report the exceptional adaptation strategies of chlorophototrophic and eukaryotic algae, and chlorophototrophic and prokaryotic cyanobacteria to the hyperarid and extremel...

The technogenic impact of mining on the environment is analyzed and transition to geotechnology with stowing reduce operations proposed. results research work devoted justification parameters development salt deposits definition influence dynamics deformation underworked rock massif are presented. relevance aimed at creating a safe efficient technology for from systems natural maintenance stopi...

In this article, five scenic underground routes of historical salt mines in Wieliczka and Bochnia towns were the subject comparative research, considered as very essential examples geotouristic potential. “Wieliczka” Salt Mine, there are Touristic Miners’ Routes, “Bochnia” mine, is a Multimedia route, well two Miners’: Natural Historical ones.The lead through parts old mines. These deposits par...

This study aimed at measuring the influence of a low salt diet on the development of experimental atherosclerosis in moderately hyperlipidemic mice. Experiments were carried out on LDL receptor (LDLR) knockout (KO) mice, or apolipoprotein E (apoE) KO mice on a low sodium chloride diet (LSD) as compared with a normal salt diet (NSD). On LSD, the rise of the plasma concentrations of TG and nonest...

Gypsum makes up about one fifth of giant salt deposits formed by evaporation seawater throughout Earth’s history. Although thermodynamic calculations and precipitation experiments predict that gypsum precipitates when the salinity evaporating attains 110 g kg−1, Mediterranean Salt Giant often bear geochemical signature from less saline water masses. Addressing this riddle is important because m...
