The main objective of the research is to develop a recipe of instant dry soup mix for easy preparation of ogbono soup. Instant ogbono mix powder was processed using common locally ingredients. Dika kernel powder, dried ugwu leaf, crayfish, stock fish, and a mixture of locust bean, onion, seasoning and ...
Migratory behavior, routes and zones used during the non-breeding season are assumed to have been selected to maximize fitness, and can lead to genetic differentiation. Yet, here we show that migration strategies differ markedly between and within two genetically similar populations of wandering albatross ...
For prawn trawling systems, drag reduction is a high priority as the trawling process is energy intensive. Large benefits have occurred through the use of multiple-net rigs and thin twine in the netting. An additional positive effect of these successful twine-area reduction strategies is the reduced ...
Abstract Globally, there is increasing focus on hydrocarbon recovery in regions that are new to environmental legislation and regulation; very often this is an offshore environment where well integrity has broad effects. Providing environmentally compliant fluids is standard, and thus expertise in ...
Microalgae constitute a diverse group of eukaryotic unicellular organisms that are of interest for pure and applied research. Owing to their natural synthesis of value-added natural products microalgae are emerging as a source of sustainable chemical compounds, proteins and metabolites, including but ...
Abstract Completion of the Manifa field development mega-project marked the world's largest hydrocarbon production increment in a single phase. Just as significant as its considerably large production scale, the project involved several green initiatives, including broad-spectrum environment conservation ...
Abstract Workover is the process of performing major maintenance or remedial treatments on an oil or gas well to restore, prolong or enhance its production. The complexity of workover operations is increasing due to the well conditions faced, such as age, environment, mechanical restrictions, completion ...
Abstract A successful field trial of velocity-string technology was recently completed on a standing gas well with high condensate-gas ratio (CGR) in Saudi Arabia. The operation was performed in three attempts, and it included running a 10,000-ft-long, 2 3/8-in. outside diameter (OD) coiled tubing ...
Abstract CB/OS-2 field is located offshore the west coast of India. The wells are of shallow depth with sanding issues. Many wells are either shut in or beaned back to control drawdown and ensure sand-free production. This has resulted in wells flowing at much lower rates than their potential. Conventional ...
Abstract For managing limited resources, short and medium horizontal sidetracks offer feasible options for non-conventional well work-over. Sidetracking into horizontal lateral is preferred over other options due to improved productivity. Many short-radius horizontal sidetrack wells with high Dog ...
Background An in depth understanding of mosquito breeding biology and factors regulating population sizes is fundamental for vector population control. This paper presents results from a survey of mosquito breeding habitats and the efficacy of neem chippings as a potential larvicide that can be integrated ...
Objectives To describe the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among commensal Escherichia coli isolates on household and small-scale chicken farms, common in southern Vietnam, and to investigate the association of antimicrobial resistance with farming practices and antimicrobial usage. Methods We ...
Chemotherapy can cause cachexia, which is manifested by weight loss, inflammation and muscle atrophy. However, the mechanisms of tumor and chemotherapy on skeletal muscle proteolysis, remained unclear. In this report, we demonstrated that tumor-induced myostatin in turn induced TNF-α, thus activating ...
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of 12 h of exposure to light, as compared with 12 h of exposure to darkness (control), on enzymatic activities of transporters involved in the transport of NH+4 or H+, and activities of enzymes involved in converting NH+4 to glutamate/glutamine ...
Migratory salmon transit estuary habitats on their way out to the ocean but this phase of their life cycle is more poorly understood than other phases. The estuaries of large river systems in particular may support many populations and several species of salmon that originate from throughout the upstream ...
Consistent individual differences in behaviour have been well documented in a variety of animal taxa, but surprisingly little is known about the fitness and life-history consequences of such individual variation. In wild salmonids, the timing of fry emergence from gravel spawning nests has been suggested ...
Background Fishing is one of the oldest human activities and constitutes a source of income and livelihood for millions of people, particularly in coastal regions. This study aimed to characterize the types of fish use and test whether there is a relationship between uses of fish in the communities ...
The Kerguelen archipelago, isolated in the Southern Ocean, shelters a blue mussel Mytilus metapopulation far from any influence of continental populations or any known hybrid zone. The finely carved coast leads to a highly heterogeneous habitat. We investigated the impact of the environment on the genetic ...
Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly applied in conservation management to predict suitable habitat for poorly known populations. High predictive performance of SDMs is evident in validations performed within the model calibration area (interpolation), but few studies have assessed SDM ...
