Existing strategies for hydrocarbon extraction have been designed primarily based on macroscopic properties of fluids and rocks.However, recent work on tight formations and source rocks (such as shale) revealed that the fluid properties and phase change of the hydrocarbons stored in the lower end of the pore size distribution inside the organic nan
Ground water arsenic contamination is a well known health and environmental problem in Bangladesh.Sources of this heavy metal are known to be geogenic, however, the processes of its release into groundwater are poorly understood phenomena.In quest of mitigation of the problem it is necessary to predict probable contamination before it causes any da
Image encryption methods aim to protect content privacy.Typically, they encompass scrambling and diffusion.Every pixel of the image is permuted (scrambling) and its value is transformed according to a key (diffusion).Although several methods have been proposed in the literature, some of them have been cryptanalyzed.In this paper, we present a novel
This article dicusses informed consent (IC): its evolution, its main challenges, and its theoretical assumptions.This process involves the interrelation of IC with the history and evolution of research ethics, and with Cardigan some abuses committed in biomedical research.The article also presents the objections to IC, especially those related to i
Agricultural landscapes can be characterized as a mosaic of habitat patches interspersed with hostile matrix, or as a gradient of patches ranging from suitable to unsuitable for different species.Arthropods moving through these landscapes encounter a range of edges, with different permeability.Patches of native vegetation in these FC Accessories la
