Variation of bacterial communities in water and sediments during the decomposition of Microcystis biomass. by Dayong Zhao, Xinyi Cao, Rui Huang, Jin Zeng, Qinglong L Wu

“…The abundant genus, Clostridium sensu stricto, were thought to be well adapted to higher DOC and turbidity and lower pH and DO conditions. Compared with the sediment samples, the decomposition of Microcystis biomass had greater influence on the bacterial community composition in water and Clostridium sensu stricto might play important roles in the process of Microcystis biomass decomposition.…”

Formation Pore Pressure Variation of the Neocomian Sedimentary Succession (the Fahliyan Formation) in the Abadan Plain Basin, SW of Iran by Bahman Soleimani, Mohammad Hassani-Giv, Iraj Abdollahi fard

“…Also, there is a major pressure step in the middle part of the reservoir, suggesting the presence of a regional efficient seal dividing the reservoir into two stacked compartments, where the upper compartment is more overpressured than the lower one. The stepped pressure pattern of the Fahliyan Formation is a regional phenomenon controlled by a factor governed regionally, the depositional condition, and facies lateral changes during the deposition of shallowing upward sequence of the Fahliyan reservoir. …”

In situ wear test of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber in a low pressure hydrogen environment by Byeong-Lyul Choi, Myung-Chan Choi, Sang Koo Jeon, Un bong Baek, Byoung-Ho Choi

“…The findings indicated that the filler type and content critically influenced the tribological performance of NBR, with carbon black-filled NBR showing higher friction coefficients and wear rates and silica-filled NBR exhibiting superior wear resistance and lower friction. These results emphasize the importance of optimizing the filler selection to enhance the durability and effectiveness of NBR in hydrogen-rich environments. …”

Removal of phenol from water using fenchol-menthol hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent by Tan Chee Kee, Ng Yee-Sern, Pang Yean Ling, Hayyan Adeeb

“…Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (HDESs) are regarded as a potential green alternative to conventional organic solvents in separation processes such as liquid-liquid extraction, due to their favourable properties, such as lower vapour pressure and tunable properties. The present work investigated the application of HDES which is synthesised from fenchol and menthol, in the removal of phenol from water. …”
