Spatial Variability and Application of Ratios between BTEX in Two Canadian Cities by Lindsay Miller, Xiaohong Xu, Amanda Wheeler, Dominic Odwa Atari, Alice Grgicak-Mannion, Isaac Luginaah

“…Correlation analysis between land use and concentration ratios showed a strong influence from local industries. Use one of the ratios between the BTEX species to diagnose photochemical age may be biased due to point source emissions, for example, 53 tonnes of benzene and 86 tonnes of toluene in Sarnia. …”

Inversion of interlayer scale using dynamic data of production wells in bottom water reservoirs: Sangtamu Oilfield, Tarim basin by Mengjiao Dou, Shaohua Li, Wanjiang Bian, Huan Wang, Lunjie Chang, Zhengjun Zhu, Jun Li

“…There are several interlayers of varying scales inside it, which impact the characteristics of the oil production and water breakthrough curves of the wells in the water flooding development oilfield, resulting in strong heterogeneity within the reservoir. The Sangtamu Oilfield has an average well spacing of approximately 600 m, causing a challenge in accurately identifying the range of small-scale interlayer spreading. …”

High-level radioactive waste repository: How Geology combined with societal principles can lead to public acceptance—the German experiment by Schafmeister, Maria-Theresia

“…The following article intends to describe the current strategy in Germany, which is based on a specific “Act on the search for and selection of a site for a final repository for highly radioactive waste” (in short: Site Selection Act) and attempts to learn from mistakes in the seventies. It is our strong conviction that fundamental geological aspects are as important as essential societal principles in order to gain maximum public acceptance.…”

Myocardial Gene Expression of T-bet, GATA-3, Ror-γt, FoxP3, and Hallmark Cytokines in Chronic Chagas Disease Cardiomyopathy: An Essentially Unopposed TH1-Type Response by Luciana Gabriel Nogueira, Ronaldo Honorato Barros Santos, Alfredo Inácio Fiorelli, Eliane Conti Mairena, Luiz Alberto Benvenuti, Edimar Alcides Bocchi, Noedir Antonio Stolf, Jorge Kalil, Edecio Cunha-Neto

“…Results are consistent with a strong local TH1-mediated response in most samples, possibly associated with pathological myocardial remodeling, and a proportionally smaller FoxP3+CTLA4+ Treg cell population, which is unable to completely curb IFN-γ production in CCC myocardium, therefore fueling inflammation.…”

Dimensions of Rational Decision-Making during the Demographic Transition; Aranjuez (Spain) Revisited by David Reher, Glenn Sandström

“…As expected, controls for the survival status of the previous-born child were important though they did not diminish appreciably the overall effect of the number of surviving offspring. This article offers strong proof for the existence of active decision-making during the demographic transition and applies a method to model these behaviors over the full reproductive history of the couple.…”
