Wettability studies have been carried out on reservoir rocks using different techniques such as the Amott-Harvey method, the USBM method, and the contact angle method, all with limitations.In this study, the wettability is studied by discussing the surface charge using zeta potential measurements.The study relies on the finding that carbonated rese
Activation of the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway mediates the neuroprotective effect of Perillyl alcohol against cerebral hypoxic-ischemic damage in neonatal rats
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a severe disease with a poor prognosis, whose clinical treatment is still limited to therapeutic hypothermia with limited efficacy.Perillyl alcohol (POH), a natural monoterpene found in various plant essential oils, has shown neuroprotective properties, though its effects on HIE are not well underst
An Investigation of Harmonic Oscillation of an Ion Particle in a Non-uniform Electrostatic Field
In this study, we investigate the possibility to trap an ion particle in a non-uniform electrostatic field generated by two ionic rings, with the aim to obtain and verify general results regarding our proposition.To develop the equation of motion, we first derive the electric field generated Lounge Chair with Cushion by each ring, based on the mult
Intracellular osteopontin protects from autoimmunity-driven lymphoma development inhibiting TLR9-MYD88-STAT3 signaling
Abstract Background Autoimmune disorders, including Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), are associated with increased incidence of hematological malignancies.The matricellular protein osteopontin (OPN) has been linked to SLE pathogenesis, as SLE patients show increased serum levels of OPN and often polymorphisms in its gene.Although widely studied
Effectiveness assessment of diesel locomotives operation with the use of mobile maintenance points
Based on the example of 6Dg type diesel locomotives, the paper presents a new maintenance strategy concerning periodical checks at the P1 maintenance level.Currently, such locomotives are sent off to service points every 102 hours of operation or every 14 days for a P1 level check.Studies demonstrate that the average distance to be covered by a loc
