Controversial Issues of Hydrocarbon Field Formation and the Role of Geomagnetic Fields by Andrey A. Ponomarev, Marsel A. Kadyrov, Yuri V. Vaganov, Valeria A. Cheymetova, Vadim M. Aleksandrov, Aleksandr V. Morev

“…We further overviewed the radical chain mechanism of hydrocarbon generation from organic matter as proposed by Prof. Nesterov. It is noted that the petroleum generation process in reservoir conditions occurs almost instantly in the presence of discrete geomagnetic fields and does not require a long geological time. …”

Determining the Factors Affecting Air Quality in Marmara, Turkey, and Assessing it Using Air Quality Indices by Ismet Yener, Kazım Onur Demirarslan

“…While anthropogenic variables mostly affected NOx (r=0.56 to 0.64) and O3 (r=-0.34 to 0.64), meteorological (r=-0.38 to 0.45) and spatial factors (r=-0.41 to -0.65) mostly affected particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). CO and SO2, on the other hand, were affected by all types of variables at varying directions and rates. …”

A Protective Role of Canonical Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway in Pathogenic Bacteria-Induced Inflammatory Responses by Zhongjia Jiang, Weiping Zhou, Xing Tian, Peng Zou, Ning Li, Chunmeng Zhang, Yanting Li, Guangyan Liu

“…A baseline extent of inflammation is supposed to be tightly associated with a sequence of immune-modulated processes, resulting in the protection of the host organism against pathogen invasion; however, as a matter of fact is that an uncontrolled inflammatory cascade is the main factor responsible for the host damage, accordingly suggesting a significant and indispensable involvement of negative feedback mechanism in modulation of inflammation. …”

Productivity and Nutritive Quality of Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) as Influenced by Commercial Fertilizer, Broiler Litter, and Interseeded White Clover (Trifolium repens) by Sandra L. Dillard, Laura E. Sturgeon, Walter F. Owsley, C. Wesley Wood, James L. Holliman, Russell B. Muntifering

“…We evaluated productivity and nutritive quality of Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) that was interseeded with or without white clover (Trifolium repens) and which commercial fertilizer (ammonium nitrate and diammonium phosphate) or broiler litter was applied on the basis of soil-test P; broiler litter was supplemented with ammonium nitrate to be isonitrogenous with commercial fertilizer. Forage dry matter yield and foliar concentrations of crude protein, cell wall constituents, P, K, and Cu were not different among fertilizer treatments, and concentration of Zn was only slightly greater for forage amended with broiler litter than commercial fertilizer. …”
