Predicting the Viscosity of Petroleum Emulsions Using Gene Expression Programming (GEP) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) by Abubakar A. Umar, Ismail M. Saaid, Aliyu A. Sulaimon, Rashidah M. Pilus

“…This is believed to be imminent because of variations in the interfacial film structure. This is followed by the amount of solids, also believed to be as a result of increasing coverage at the interface of the water droplets, limiting the movements of the dispersed droplets (reduced coalescence), thereby increasing the viscosity of the emulsions.…”

Roman Law on legal personality: pro et contra by Yu. M. Zhornokui

“…Attention is drawn to the fact that the current state of the development of civilist thought regarding the development of the category “legal entity” by Roman lawyers indicates the existence of three approaches: 1) Roman lawyers developed and used a legal structure that was different from the citizens of Rome and could participate in the civil turnover of that time; 2) the category of legal entity was not known to Roman lawyers, but the main features characterised to its modern understanding (legal capacity, property separation, the possibility to participate in legal proceedings, etc.) were developed precisely in Ancient Rome; 3) for the jurisprudence of the Roman period, the category “legal entity” or its individual characteristics were not known in the sense that are now attached to the content of the relevant characteristics, but the use of individual constructions, such as “universitas”, “corpus”, “collegia”, “sodalitia”, etc., was intended to show that in private relations, property can exist without being tied to a Roman citizen as a subject of rights. …”
