Hypothesis: The change in the wetting of rock from hydrophobic to hydrophilic is named "wettability alteration".This is an important factor for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).Because of their unique properties, nanoparticles have attracted much attention for enhanced oil recovery.Despite promising results, the main challenges of using nanoparticles ar
Affordances of an international campus for intercultural learning: Views from MA students and faculty in two US-based teacher education programs
This paper reports on a qualitative study which is part of a larger project on the affordances of an international campus for intercultural (IC) learning.The research examined two MA programs at a US postgraduate institution, TESOL and International Education Management, and two groups of participants, 9 students and 8 faculty members.The participa
HDAC1 deregulation promotes neuronal loss and deficit of motor function in stroke pathogenesis
Abstract Stroke is a common cause of death worldwide and leads to disability and cognitive dysfunction.Ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke are major categories of stroke, accounting for 68% and 32% of strokes, respectively.Each year, 15 million people experience stroke worldwide, and the stroke incidence is rising.Epigenetic modifications regula
The relationship between plant-eating and hair evacuation in snow leopards (Panthera uncia).
Although most felids have an exclusive carnivore diet, the presence of plant matter in scat has been reported among various species.This indicates that there may be an adaptive significance to the conservation of plant-eating behavior in felid evolution.Some studies have hypothesized that felids consume plants for self-medication or as a source of
Effect of laser dwell time on pore elimination in powder bed fusion of metal matrix composites: experimentally validated modeling
Many studies have been conducted to better understand the relationship between additive manufacturing (AM) process parameters and the resulting structure and properties of manufactured parts.It is quite clear that defects associated with AM parts are detrimental to part performance and Lighting - Pen Lights are thus a major concern for a broader ap
