Recovery Method and Parameter Optimization of a Pilot Test for Conformance Control Flooding and Thermal Recovery in the Offshore Heavy Oilfield by Yanxia Zhou, Xiangguo Lu, Bao Cao, Yigang Liu, Yunbao Zhang, Xun Zhong

“…However, the selection of EOR method and related parameters may directly impact the final results and can be noticeably different for different reservoirs; therefore, to optimize the oil production rate and final oil recovery, systematical optimization of every detail based on the condition of a specific reservoir is of key importance. In this paper, physical simulations were first conducted to select the best recovery methods for the target area based on the static geophysical model under the guidance of reservoir engineering theory. …”

Lithological and geochemical characterization of ‘adinole’ artefacts from cave deposits in southwest Wales: A material of choice during the late Middle to Upper Palaeolithic by Richard Bevins, Elizabeth A. Walker, Nick Pearce, Duncan Pirrie, Rob Ixer, Ian Saunders, Matthew Power

“…The artefacts studied show that this spotted variety of rhyolite was a preferred source of raw material throughout the late Middle and Upper Palaeolithic, despite having no obvious physical or practical advantages. Identifying rhyolite rather than adinole as the raw material used in the manufacture of the studied artefacts negates the need to consider long distance transport of either raw materials or finished artefacts. …”

Ecofriendly remediation of cadmium, lead, and zinc using dead cells of Microcystis aeruginosa by Mohamad S. Abdelkarim, Mohamed H. H. Ali, Doaa A. Kassem

“…This study investigates the efficacy of dead cells from Microcystis aeruginosa blooms, collected from agricultural drainage water reservoir, in removing of cadmium, lead, and zinc ions from aqueous solutions, and simultaneously addressing the mitigation of toxin-producing M. aeruginosa bloom. Some physical characterization of the dead biomass was performed, including scanning electron microscope (SEM) which revealed that, the cells form a dense, amorphous cluster, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy confirmed that carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen are the predominant elements in the biomass, Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy identified several active function groups, including hydroxyl, aliphatic C–H amide I and amide II bands, carboxylate and carbonyl (C=O). …”
