Lithological Characterization and Reservoir Characteristics by Computerized Tomography Assisted Micro Density Log of the Rock
Abstract: Lithological characterization of the unconsolidated rock from heavy oil field has been attempted using X-ray computerized tomography imagine techniques. A micro density log is generated to obtain the hidden information of such variations along the depth at microlevel, which normally is not available through conventional log. Useful exploratory leads have been obtained through characterization of the nature of reservoir using simple petro-physical techniques on conventional cores by defining reservoir grade, …

Screening of Pharmaceutically Significant Methioninase-Producing Fungi from the Satpura Range of Hoshangabad District and Its Large-Scale Production
Abstract: L-methioninase, an enzyme with notable anticancer properties, has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent due to its ability to selectively degrade methionine, a critical amino acid for the survival of methionine-dependent cancer cells. Methionine dependency, observed in many tumor cells, is a metabolic vulnerability that can be exploited for targeted cancer therapy. The Satpura Range in the Narmadapuram District, India, with its diverse microbial ecosystems, offers a rich reservoir for …

Study of Physical and Chemical Properties of Heavy Waxy Crude Oil from Cambay Basin Using Rheometer and Cross-Polar Microscope
Abstract: Production of heavy crude is quite difficult as the pressure drops from reservoir to production facility are quite large. This often leads to the precipitation and deposition of common organic solids (paraffin). These solids may deposit on surfaces, collect in low-energy regions or increase the effective viscosity of the flowing fluid. The net effect is an increase in pressure drop for a given rate through reduction in flowing area or …

Personalized Therapy Using Drug Delivery Devices
Abstract: The persistent challenge in modern medicine lies in inter-patient heterogeneity, rendering standardized drug dosing protocols suboptimal for many chronic conditions. Traditional pharmacokinetics fail to account for real-time biological fluctuations, leading to cycles of ineffective treatment or dose-limiting toxicity. This paper explores the critical intersection of advanced drug delivery devices (DDDs) and personalized medicine, positioning these technologies as the vital link translating genomic and biological data into tangible, patient- specific interventions. …

Antibiotic Resistance in Microbes: History, Mechanisms, Therapeutic Approaches, and Strategies for Mitigation
Abstract: The global emergence of clinically significant antibiotic resistance is increasingly linked to the environment. Antimicrobials, metals, and biocides are just a few of the substances that are released into the environment through paths that are regulated by environmental regulators. Consequently, environmental regulators ought to be heavily involved in developing national and international antimicrobial resistance (AMR) measures. Antimicrobial compounds from pharmaceutical waste, agricultural runoff, and wastewater discharge contribute to the spread …

Punjab’s Wetlands as Inland Analogues of Marine Ecosystems: Status, Stressors and CommunityLed Conservation.
Abstract: Aquatic and wetland ecosystems in Punjab, India, represent ecologically significant yet increasingly degraded socioecological systems embedded within an intensively managed agrarian landscape. Despite their recognised importance, existing studies largely treat these systems using conventional freshwater ecological frameworks, with limited integration of microbiologically mediated processes and broader ecosystem theories. A key research gap, therefore, lies in the lack of interdisciplinary approaches that can holistically interpret wetland structure, function, and governance across …

Fitting Relative Permeability’s Curves Based on Laboratory Production Data for A Thermal Composite Core Flooding Experiment
Abstract: Numerical simulators are effective tools for an adequate understanding of models geological and dynamic properties under which enhanced oil recovery techniques are investigated. Core flooding experiments are usually conducted for calibrating simulated rock and fluid properties against actual test results at micro-scales, and for further scaling up processes to the reservoir scale. In this paper, laboratory experiments data were used as input for a numerical simulator to study the effect …

A New Description of Multi-phase Flow Behavior at Boundary Layers of Low-permeability Porous Media
Abstract: At present, the recovery factor of low permeability oilfield in China is only about 20%, which is enormously lower than the recovery factor index of 60% by using water-chemical flooding in medium and high permeability layer. There are a lot of causes that resulted in low recovery factor, among them that the complex pore structure, tiny throat, large pore throat ratio and non-Darcy flow in low-permeability oil layer are the …

Numerical Investigation of the Osmatic Flow Impact on the Load Recovery and Early Well Performance
Abstract: The complexity of shale system coupled with the mystery of low fracturing fluid recovery has puzzled many researchers. Field reports from hydraulic fracturing operations performed on shale formation have highlighted the low recovery of the fracturing fluid. The fate of the hydraulic fracturing fluid is still controversial issue. However, literature has attributed the low load recovery to either trapping into the natural or created micro-fracture or imbibition to the matrix. …

Flavonoid Contents and Antioxidant Activity of an Endophytic Bacteria Associated with Medicinal Plant Humulus lupulus
Abstract: Endophytes are symbiotic microorganisms, most often bacteria or fungi, that reside and multiply within plant tissues without inducing visible signs of disease or negatively affecting the host plant. Endophytic bacteria contribute to plant development by stimulating growth, strengthening defence mechanisms, enhancing tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stresses, and facilitating improved nutrient uptake. Endophytic bacteria serve as an important reservoir of bioactive compounds, notably antioxidant molecules, that play a crucial …
