Formation evaluation and reservoir characteristics of the Messinian Abu Madi sandstones in Faraskour Gas Field, onshore Nile Delta, Egypt
Published 2020-10-01“…On the other side, RRTIV constitutes the lowest reservoir quality argillaceous sandstones containing meso- and micro-sized pores (R 35 > 5 µm) and a pore system dominated by dead ends. Irreducible water saturation increases steadily from RRTI (S wir ~ 5%) to RRTIV (S wir > 20%). …”

Experimental study on the mechanism of enhancing oil recovery by polymer – surfactant binary flooding
Published 2017-08-01“…The polymer in the SP Flooding system increases the viscosity of the displacement fluid, accordingly the fluidity of the aqueous phase reduces and that of the oil phase increases, and the resulting decrease of the mobility ratio can control waterflood fingering, make water absorption thickness increase, enhance sweep efficiency and thus activate the residual oil trapped in dead ends. The surfactant decreases interfacial tension, and the resulting decrease of adhesion work makes residual oil emulsified, stripped, wiredrawn and easy to move. …”

Bioinformatics in microbial biotechnology – a mini review
Published 2005-06-01“…The developed bioinformatics techniques have potential to facilitate (i) the discovery of causes of diseases, (ii) vaccine and rational drug design, and (iii) improved cost effective agents for bioremediation by pruning out the dead ends. Despite the fast paced global effort, the current analysis is limited by the lack of available gene-functionality from the wet-lab data, the lack of computer algorithms to explore vast amount of data with unknown functionality, limited availability of protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions, and the lack of knowledge of temporal and transient behavior of genes and pathways.…”

Global Patterns of Species Richness in Coastal Cephalopods
Published 2019-08-01“…Another marked pattern is a longitudinal richness cline from the Central (CIP) toward the Eastern Indo-Pacific (EIP) realm, with central Pacific archipelagos as evolutionary dead ends. In the Atlantic Ocean, closure of the Atrato Seaway (at the Isthmus of Panama) and Straits of Gibraltar (Mediterranean Sea) are historical processes that may explain the contemporary Caribbean octopus richness and Mediterranean sepiolid endemism, respectively. …”

The words of history – Phraseology as a key to historical argument
Published 2015-01-01“…The qualitative and quantitative study of recurrent phraseology in a synchronic corpus of research articles from a set of specialised journals provides evidence that historians appear to be keenly observant of the practice of speculating about their own job in terms of either a successful quest for research answers or its potential dead ends. Moreover, data show that historians position themselves as disciplinary experts at a variety of levels, as they attempt to establish their credentials in the eyes of their intended readership: first, when they compare sources and thereby carve out a niche of expertise from their interpretation of them; secondly, when they proceed to singling out what they see as a key-moment in the historical processes under investigation; and finally, in the act of shaping their discourse from the viewpoint of an omniscient narrator.…”

Penguins are competent hosts of Haemoproteus parasites: the first detection of gametocytes, with molecular characterization of Haemoproteus larae
Published 2020-06-01“…It remains unclear if haemoproteids can complete their life-cycle and produce infective stages (gametocytes) in penguins or whether these infections are abortive in penguins, and thus dead ends for transmission. In other words, it remains unknown if penguins are competent hosts for Haemoproteus parasites, which cause disease in non-adapted birds. …”

Association of herd hyperketolactia prevalence with transition management practices and herd productivity on Canadian dairy farms—A retrospective cross-sectional study
Published 2023-04-01“…The odds of hyperketolactia were greater in farms providing limited access to rest areas in the fresh period than in farms providing constant access to rest areas, without dead-ends [1.64 (1.03–2.80)]. In Canadian dairy herds, HPH in early lactation was associated with certain transition-period management practices and was negatively associated with herd productivity.…”

Social Structure, Educational Attainment and Admission to Law School
Published 1992-01-01“…However doubtful the actuarial calculations may be which are used in the advertisement, it makes a forceful point: what we expect to be, and what — in a democratic society — is promised to be, apparent equality of opportunities turns out as a maze of barriers, dead-ends and capricious events. What the lottery advertisement implies, but what the liberalist democratic formula fails to tell us generally, is that the equal chances provided by the social life of any society are not only as bad as, but in fact worse, than chances provided by a lottery. …”
