Development of Mathematical Model to Monitor the Deposition of Nitrogen Inhibited by Lead in Consolidated Lateritic Formation
Abstract: This paper monitors the depositions of nitrogen inhibited by lead in consolidated lateritic formation. The study expresses the accumulation from lateritic depositions of lead in the formation. Such conditions were observed in lateritic soil. Lead depositions were thoroughly evaluated to see if it can inhibit the deposition of nitrogen in consolidated lateritic formation. Such outside the deltaic depositions were lateritic soil predominantly deposited in such location. The study observed that …

Evidence of PDMS-based foam control agent mechanism on crude oil foams
Abstract: Crude oil foam is a frequent problem faced in oil production operations that can cause the reduction of the separator efficiency, separator overflow, carry out of liquid by the gas stream, and other serious problems. Among the techniques used to attenuate foams in crude production, the injection of chemical additives is still considered one of the most efficient. However, the effectiveness of a foam control agent (FCA) is limited to …

A Scientific Study: Regulation of Autonomic Nervous System through Slow Breath Pranayama
Abstract: Voluntary slow deep breathing functionally resets autonomic nervous system through stretch induced inhibitory signals and hyper-polarization currents that propagate through both, neural and non-neural tissue. The scientific basis of benefits of practicing slow Pranayama, especially alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana Pranayama as NSP) and Dhyana is regulation of cerebral dominance and shifting of autonomic nervous system. This regulation occurs via Nadisunder control of Agya Chakra. The aim of the present …
