Abstract One of the critical factors in planning a hydraulic fracturing treatment is proppant selection. Conductivity is an important property for ensuring efficient reservoir stimulation. Conductivity data obtained during laboratory measurements help determine which proppant to use. ISO provides standard testing procedures and methodology for measuring the long-term conductivity of proppants but does not document expected measuring uncertainty. This paper addresses accuracy and uncertainty estimation of ISO 13503-5 conductivity measurements. For the purposes of this study, three proppant samples were used. Two identical samples of high-strength ceramic proppant (HSP) and one sample of natural silica sand were distributed among six laboratories that participated in this study. The resulting data from measuring conductivity and permeability of the samples were used to calculate repeatability and reproducibility in terms of standard deviations in accordance with ISO 5725-2. Uncertainty of measuring the ISO long-term conductivity of proppants was calculated in accordance with ISO 21748. The evaluation shows that conductivity and permeability values of ceramic proppant and natural sand measured by the ISO 13503-5 method have quite high interlaboratory uncertainty. Uncertainty of conductivity is from 19 to 100% depending on closure stress for values of conductivity from 3000 to 200 md-ft respectively. Uncertainty of long-term conductivity measurements increases dramatically while conductivity decreases. At the same time, internal evaluation of uncertainty in measuring conductivity within one laboratory resulted in approximately 15% as reference value of uncertainty for a single laboratory and never exceeded 30% in given conductivity range. ISO 13503-5 prescribes testing procedures; however, it does not provide information about measurement uncertainty. This information is essential for comparing different proppants to enable reasonable selection criteria for a job, to identify proppant property inconsistency and quality decline over time due to changes in production process or raw material, or to resolve discrepancies in different laboratory measurements. Uncertainty values were estimated for a wide range of conductivity data and different proppant types.

Term Storage

Pumpkin fruits ( Cucurbita spp.) have a number of advantages and high technological potential, thanks to almost universal cultivation in a wide range of agro-climatic conditions, the ability to long-term storage, the content of dietary fibers, pectin and other polysaccharides, carotenoids, polyphenolic substances, vitamins, which cause a wide range of physiological orientation. In the process of researching the composition of local cultivars of pumpkin and the world experience of using Cucurbita spp. in the composition of food products, the need to use this ingredient in beverage recipes has been substantiated. The content of dry substances in the pumpkin samples is from 8.18 % ("Gribovskaya") to 11.6 % ("Orange bush"). The maximum sugar content is distinguished by the varieties "Winter Sweet" (6.87 %) and "Orange Bush" (7.40 %). The content of BAS-antioxidants is (without visible difference depending on the growing region): carotenoids from 1.3 mg/100 g in "Gribovskaya" to 2.0 mg/100 g - "Orange bush"; ascorbic acid - 8.7 mg/100 g in "Rossiyanka" to 14.2 mg/100 g - "Orange bush". Today all parts of the pumpkin fruit are used: the bark is a raw material for the production of feed flour and a substrate for the cultivation of lactobacilli, the seeds are traditionally used to produce pumpkin oil and flour, the pulp of the fruit is a raw material for juice-containing products, purees, carotenoid-containing and polysaccharide extracts, pectin, concentrates of first and second dishes, snack products, pasta, bakery, confectionery and meat products, etc.

AbstractSilica sand, (almost) pure quartz sand, is a valuable and scarce mineral resource within the shallow Dutch subsurface. High-grade deposits are exploited in the southeasternmost part of the country, as raw material for the glass, ceramic, chemical and other process industries. Dutch land-use policy requires that scarce mineral resources (including silica sand) are taken into consideration in spatial planning and when preparing for largescale engineering or construction works. For this purpose, and in order to review the long-term possibilities for home production of silica sand, we determined resource potential nationally.Our approach was (1) to establish the relevant conditions and processes associated with the deposition of the currently exploited sands, (2) identify lithostratigraphic units that are genetically similar or are otherwise known to contain quartz-rich sands, and (3) query the Dutch geological survey's borehole database for potential silica sand occurrences within those units. As we have to rely on non-dedicated data, the latter step was undertaken using a largely qualitative set of lithological search parameters. Finally, a limited number of available chemical analyses was used for preliminary verification purposes.Using this approach, we identified three prospective areas: one in the north of the province of Limburg and east of the province of Noord-Brabant(~750 km2), one in the central south of Noord-Brabant (~45 km2), and one in the east of the Gelderland and Overijssel provinces (~1,200 km2). For each area, first-order characteristics of possible silica sand resources are presented (type of deposit, depth, approximate thickness). In the terms of current reporting conventions, we resolved silica sand occurrence to the level of ‘reconnaissance mineral resource’ or ‘exploration result’, and our results do not constitute a formal resource declaration. Available chemical data suggest that the resources in the first two areas could be or become economic, although the grades are lower than those of the currently exploited resources. The third area is less promising in that respect, but available data is too limited to reject the area in this stage. Even so, we tentatively conclude that home production of silica sand can probably be maintained after the reserves in Limburg are depleted.

Effects of intensive carrot production on soils derived from young volcanic ash were determined at Ohakune, New Zealand. Erosion rates (derived from caesium-137) and key soil physical and chemical properties were determined in 3 fields with differing management history (6 and 16 years cropping) or topography (sloping and flat).Caesium-137 areal activity in cropped fields ranged from 90 to 2034 Bq/m2, compared with a reference value under long-term pasture of 602 Bq/m2. Mean areal activity was lower than the reference value in 2 sloping fields, but not in a flat field. Net erosion rates were low in both sloping fields (–16 and –5 t/ha.year), but within each field there was a wide range of erosion and deposition rates (–109 to +293 t/ha.year in Field 1 and –145 to +514 t/ha.year in Field 2). These very high rates imply total soil losses up to 238 mm and deposition up to 670 mm, consistent with observed elevation differences between the cropped fields and adjacent fields in long-term pasture and with topsoil depth variation from 145 to 1165 mm. Tillage erosion and deposition rates are high (up to c. 40 t/ha.year) but water erosion is the dominant mechanism of soil redistribution.Cropping has reduced organic matter and aggregate stability, increased bulk density in the lower part of the topsoil and subsoil, and increased aggregate size. Hydraulic conductivity was higher in the topsoil and lower in the subsoil under cropping than it was under pasture. However, it would not limit soil water movement as it was higher than typical rainfall intensities. Compacted wheel tracks were the primary control on runoff and erosion as they have low infiltration rates (4 mm/h) compared with carrot beds (853 mm/h).

The article presents the results of a study to assess the functional reserve of the kidneys against the background of a comparative study of antiaggregant therapy dipyridamole and allthrombosepin in 50 patients with a relatively early stage of chronic kidney disease. Studies have shown that long-term administration of allthrombosepin to patients has resulted in better maintenance of kidney functional reserves. Therefore, our research has once again confirmed that diphtheridamol, which is widely used as an antiaggregant drug in chronic kidney disease, does not lag behind the domestic raw material allthrombosepin

Experimental study on the use of basalt stone originated from Lampung has been conducted to evaluate its potential for a partial substitute of raw material in production of cement clinker. The basalt stone contains minerals of anorthite, augite, and albite phases that are required for clinker formation. In this study, the main raw materials were 80% limestone, 10% silica sand, 9% clay and 1% iron sand. The raw material in these experiments were mixtures 90% or 80% of the main raw material and 10% or 20% of basalt stone. The effect of adding coal to raw materials was also studied to see the possibility of an increase in clinkerization temperature inside the raw material mixture, and at the same time to see the effect of coal ash on clinker composition. Clinker obtained from heating of raw materials at a temperature of 1100oC had LSF of 94.1% and 95.1% (heating time of 1 and 3 hours). If heating is carried out at 1200oC, the clinker had LSF of 97.7% and 98.0% (heating time of 2 and 3 hours, respectively). Depending on the temperature and duration of heating, the clinker mostly had SM in the range of 2.18-2.40% , and AM in the range of 0,78-1.80%. Characterization using XRD showed that the clinker consisted of larnite and gehlenite phases, and dominated by CaO.Batu basalt Lampung telah diuji potensinya sebagai pengganti sebagian bahan baku utama pembuatan klinker semen. Batu basalt tersebut memiliki mineral-mineral dalam fase anorthite, augite, dan albite yang diperlukan pada pembentukan klinker. Pada penelitian ini, bahan baku utama adalah batu kapur 80%, pasir silika 10%, tanah liat 9% dan pasir besi 1%. Campuran bahan baku klinker adalah 90% atau 80% bahan baku utama dan 10% atau 20% batu basalt. Efek penambahan batubara ke dalam bahan baku klinker juga dipelajari untuk melihat kemungkinan kenaikan temperatur klinkerisasi di dalam campuran bahan baku, dan sekaligus untuk melihat efek abu batubara terhadap komposisi klinker. Klinker hasil pemanasan bahan baku pada temperatur 1100oC memiliki LSF 94,1% dan 95,1% (lama pemanasan 1 dan 3 jam). Jika pemanasan dilakukan pada 1200oC, klinker memilik LSF 97,7% dan 98,00% (lama pemanasan 2 dan 3 jam). Tergantung pada temperatur dan lama pemanasan, klinker hasil percobaan ini umumnya memiliki SM 2,18-2,40%, dan AM antara 0,78-1,80%. Karakterisasi dengan XRD menunjukkan bahwa klinker terdiri dari fase larnite dan gehlenite, dan didominasi CaO.
