Comparison of natural and artificial vasopressin deficiency: why the latter is lethal? by D. Zelena

“…Comparing available knockout models we can conclude that the combined V1a and V2 receptor mediated effects, namely hypotension and water lost together may led to lethality. As in Brattleboro and targetted knockout mice the local synthesis of AVP in the heart can be maintained and AVP can be released into the general circulation. …”

Decoupling microbial iron reduction from anoxic microsite formation in oxic sediments: a microscale investigation through microfluidic models by Giulia Ceriotti, Alice Bosco-Santos, Sergey M. Borisov, Jasmine S. Berg

“…Moreover, our mathematical modeling of oxygen dynamics around biomass-rich layers revealed that the onset of anoxia is mainly controlled by biomass spatial organization rather than the conventionally used water saturation index. This opens a new perspective on the proxies needed to predict anoxic microsite formation and Fe(III) reduction occurrence.…”

A New Projection-Based Integrally Embedded Discrete Fracture Model and Its Application in Coupled Flow and Geomechanical Simulation for Fractured Reservoirs by Dawei Wu, Yuan Di, Yu-Shu Wu

“…Comparison of our coupled simulation results with that of the EDFM shows that the pIEDFM is applicable for the coupled simulation, and the different methods for matrix-fracture transmissibility between the pIEDFM and the EDFM may lead to deviations in stress fields predicted by geomechanical modeling, which eventually affects the oil production, water cut, and oil saturation profiles.…”
