Shale transport properties are investigated by numerical simulations of a simple, physics-based continuum model.Shale samples from the Yanchang Triassic Formation in Ordos Basin are tested to get the pore volume distribution of shale.Due to the existence of nanopores in shale reservoirs, there are great differences in gas transport mechanisms compa
Fluorescence spectroscopy: A sensitive tool for identifying land-use and climatic region effects on the characteristics of water-extractable soil organic matter
Water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) is an indicator of active and labile pools of soil organic matter (SOM).Land-use is expected to have a major effect on SOM, yet the effects of different land-uses on WEOM are not well understood.Reported trends in the changes in water-extractable organic C (WEOC) concentrations following changes in land-use a
The oldest scene of the Entrance of the Virgin Mary into the Temple? A new identification of wall paintings from the Faras Cathedral
This paper offers a new identification of two paintings executed on the first layer of plaster in the northern transversal aisle of the Faras Cathedral, which, due to their poor state of preservation at the time of discovery, were impossible to remove from the walls.Interpretations m02n3ll/a to date have linked the first painting with the Apostles
GPAs, PCATs, and Coupons: Wilting Quality in Pharmacy School Admissions and the Impact on Pharmacy Faculty
Introduction: The number of available seats in US pharmacy schools has reached unprecedented numbers as applications are on the decline.A combination of forces signals that admissions to pharmacy school are becoming less selective.Commentary: The conflict of balancing a aptamil allerpro need to fill the incoming class while maintaining selectivity
Diabetic foot salvage: breaking paradigms through a case report
Diabetic foot (DF) is one of the most frequent and disabling complications of diabetes mellitus 2 (DM2).This study presents the case of a 66-year-old female patient with DM2 and DF complicated by extensive infected necrosis involving more than 50% of the foot.She was not a candidate for revascularization and, due to the poorly controlled septic foc
