china is a vast and overpopulated country in the eastern asia whose energy security and supply is the most important factor of economic growth and consequently, economic, social and political security. by the past decades, its leaders have understood the key role of economic growth and development in the economic and political security of china. thus, they have put all their concentration on th...

The introduction in 1996 of the HAART raised hopes for the eradication of HIV-1. Unfortunately, the discovery of latent HIV-1 reservoirs in CD4+ T cells and in the monocyte-macrophage lineage proved the optimism to be premature. The long-lived HIV-1 reservoirs constitute a major obstacle to the eradication of HIV-1. In this review, we focus on the establishment and maintenance of HIV-1 latency ...

NEDO has developed MEPAS, a software for exploration of geothermal reservoir. MEPAS has bcen developed as a tool for geologists to analyze earthquakes and find fractures by comparing earthquakes with other exploration data. MEPAS consists of a seismic data processing part and a geological analysis part. The geological analysis part features 3D display, time and space distribution display, fract...

in recent decades energy sector has been most important division in sociopolitical national and international dialogs. policy making in energy sector in iran is a strategic subject because of independency of our national revenue to oil & gas export in one way and huge oil & gas reservoirs in iran (137 billion barrel in oil and 28.3 million cubic meter in gas) in other hand. this paper investiga...

Well testing is of great importance in petroleum engineering, to have a kind of firsthand knowledge and estimating formation permeability, wellbore damage/ skin, etc. These parameters are further required to estimate production rate from a well and at the same time gives an idea of its productivity. These reservoir related parameters calculation is strongly dependent on formation thickness. Any...

Demand for hydropower is increasing, yet the water footprints (WFs) of reservoirs and hydropower, and their contributions to water scarcity, are poorly understood. Here, we calculate reservoir WFs (freshwater that evaporates from reservoirs) and hydropower WFs (the WF of hydroelectricity) in China based on data from 875 representative reservoirs (209 with power plants). In 2010, the reservoir W...

In a study of the oxygen stores of the body anaesthetized paralyzed dogs were hyperventilated (Pa<x), = 15 mm Hg) for 2 hours. During the final 30 minutes the inspired mixture was altered from oxygen to air. The rates at which alveolar and arterial oxygen concentrations approached their new steady-state values were represented by the halftimes (t£) 0.17 and 0.23 minutes respectively. The turnov...
