Using the technology of structural, thermic, and atmogeochemical investigations a number studies within Piatyhorivka area DnieperDonets Depression were performed. Among there geostructural morphostructural analyses, structural interpretation satellite data, field works on emanation thermometric surveys, laboratory chromatographic analyses gas samples collected from undersoil layer, integrated r...

In this study, concentrations of eight heavy metals (Pb, Ni, Cu, Cr, Zn, Co, Cd and Fe) wereinvestigated during 2016 in ten stations at West Qurna-2 oil field Basra city Southern Iraq. Thesemetals were analyzed by using Atomic absorption spectrometry. The mean values the thesoil range for : pb (18.23 -39.15), Ni (28.34-46.35), Cu (10.12-18.22), Cr (50.64-59.23), Zn (25.23-40.48), Co (5.34-11.27...

AIM To determine the association of dietary factors with mixed/pigment gallstones amongst southern Indian patients. METHODS Diet details were obtained from 346 patients (178 women) with gallstones and an equal number...

Oil spills can generate multiple effects in different time scales on the marine ecosystem. The numerical modeling of these processes is an important tool with low computational cost which provides a powerful appliance to environmental agencies regarding the risk management. In this way, the objective of this work is to evaluate the influence of a number of physical forcing acting over a hypothe...

An M L = 3.5 earthquake near Santa Maria, California, was recorded by the Southern California Seismic Network and a TERRAscope station at Santa Barbara (SBC) on 31 January 1991. The waveform of this event is dominated by 2to 5-sec waves, and is different from that of ordinary events with similar size. Inquiries into operations in several oil fields in the area revealed that hydro-fracturing at ...
