Gas injection for enhanced oil and gas reservoir recovery is a crucial method in offshore Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS).The B6 buried hill condensate gas reservoir, characterized by high CO2 content, a deficit in natural energy, developed fractures and low-pressure differentials between dean michael amott formation and saturation
Reproductive biology of the saddle cichlid, Aequidens tetramerus (Heckel, 1840) (Cichliformes: Cichlidae), in small forest streams in the Machado River basin, southwestern Amazonia
pc381ls The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproductive strategy of Aequidens tetramerus in small streams of the Machado river basin, southwestern Amazon.We collected samples in two streams using seine and dip nets along a 50-m stretch of the stream.We collected 86 fishes, 19 males and 67 females (sex-ratio, 3.52 female:1male).Their body siz
Advancements in Mass Rearing the Air Potato Beetle Lilioceris cheni
The air potato beetle, Lilioceris cheni Gressitt and Kimoto (Coleoptera:Chrysomelidae), is a successful biological control agent of the air potato vine, Dioscorea bulbifera L.(Dioscoreales: Dioscoreaceae), in the southern United States.Lilioceris cheni is currently being mass-reared by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Div
A Numerical Modelling Framework for Investigating the Ballistic Performance of Bio-Inspired Body Armours
Biological structures possess excellent damage tolerance, which makes them attractive for ballistic protection applications.This paper develops a finite element modelling framework to investigate the performance of several biological structures that are most relevant for ballistic protection, including nacre, conch, fish scales, and crustacean exos
