Recent Approaches, Catalysts and Formulations for Enhanced Recovery of Heavy Crude Oils

Crude oil deposits as light/heavy form all over the world. With the continued depletion of the conventional crude and reserves trending heavier, the interest to maximise heavy oil recovery continues to emerge in importance. Ordinarily, the traditional oil recovery stages leave behind a large amount of heavy oil trapped in porous reservoir structure, making the imperative of additional or enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies. Besides, the integration of downhole in-situ upgrading along with oil recovery techniques not only improves the efficiency of production but also the quality of the produced oil, avoiding several surface handling costs and processing challenges. In this review, we present an outline of chemical agents underpinning these enabling technologies with a focus on the current approaches, new formulations and future directions.

The importance of immunosupression in the development of the heavy form of cytomegaloviral infection in newborn children

Objective: to study the features of disorders in T and B cell immunity and the synthesis of serum immunoglobulins of classes IgA, IgM, IgG with the aim of predicting severe cytomegalovirus infection (CMVI) in newborns.Research methods: 133 newborns with cytomegalovirus infection were examined. Lymphocytes were typed to differentiation clusters CD3, CD4, CD8, CD20 using monoclonal antibodies, IMMUNOTECH (France). The expression of membrane markers of immunocompetent cells was determined using a Beckman COULTER EpicsXLII flow laser cytofluorimeter. Depending on the severity of the condition, all children were divided into two groups: 1 — CMVI, severe form — 60 people (45,1%); 2 CMVI, moderate form — 73 people (54,9%).Results. Using the «classification trees» method, we were able to develop a differentiated approach to the prognosis of a severe form of CMVI in newborn children. Systems of inequalities were obtained, four of which classify a subgroup of newborns with severe CMVI. Conclusion: the proposed diagnostic rules can be considered screening markers for prognosis of a severe form of CMVI in newborns.

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF MASTITIS THERAPY

Mastitis is one of the most important health problems in dairy cows. In addition to thehealth aspect and the apparent impact on animal welfare, mastitis is the largest financial cost in dairyfarms due to treatment costs and rejected milk because of the withdrawal period, as well aspermanently reduced milk production or complete lactation interruption in heavy form of mastitis.The procedure and the outcome of the treatment depend on the form of udder inflammation, degreeof tissue alteration, timing of treatment initiation and the application of adequate preparations or theappropriate procedure. The outcome of therapy can be full restitution of parenchyma and its functionor deterioration of the glandular parenchyma and filling with connective tissue. Nowadays, inconditions of intensive milk production, mastitis therapy is only part of a mastitis control programthat puts mastitis prevention at the forefront. In case of clinical mastitis, it is necessary to applytherapy during lactation.

Verbs of emotion with se in Slovene: between middle and reflexive semantics. A cognitive analysis

Verbs of emotion with se in Slovene: between middle and reflexive semantics. A cognitive analysisThis article presents a cognitive analysis of Slovene emotion verbs with the personal pronoun se ‘self’, e.g., bati se ‘to be scared’. Slavic verbs of this type are traditionally considered reflexive. The objectives of the article are twofold. First, the article aims to demonstrate that se in Slovene verbs of emotion indicates not the reflexive, but the middle voice construction. However, given specific pragmatic factors, these verbs also form reflexive constructions with the heavy form sebe ‘self’, or even both middle and reflexive constructions with se and sebe, respectively. Second, this article challenges Anna Wierzbicka’s assumption that the Slavic verbs with the light form of the personal pronoun or the -sja affix (Russian) express (almost) volitional, i.e. self-induced emotion. In line with cognitive Suzanne Kemmer, it is claimed that the constructions with the verbs under discussion indicate a low degree of volitionality in the process of emotional change i.e. they lexicalize an event that occurs independently of the Experiencer participant’s will.

INTENSIVE THERAPY OF VIRAL-BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA IN 52 YEAR WOMAN: THE CASE REPORT

The analysis of the case report 52 years patients who have suffered the heavy form of flu H1N1, accompanied by the acute respiratory distress-syndrome, was on long lung ventilation is presented. Own author's position concerning preventive of hospital infections resistance is resulted Practical recommendations on manage patients with acute respiratory failure are given.

Morphological and biochemical markers of inflammatory reactions in a mucous membrane of bronchial tubes at the heavy form of a bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive disease of lungs

In the present research the complex cytologic and biochemical estimation of a condition induced sputum at 19 patients with the heavy therapeutic-sensitive form of a bronchial asthma and 18 patients with chronic obstructive disease of lungs is lead. Dominating morphological and biochemical markers of an asthma became the raised number of macrophages, lymphocytes, and eosinophils at decrease in functional activity neutrophil elastase and increases activation properties. Progressing of destructive and fibrous processes at patients with heavy form chronic obstructive pulmonary disease occurs on a background active neutrophil and lymphocytes reactions in a mucous membrane of bronchial tubes that proves to be true high activity elastase and falling of functioning proteinase inhibitor.

Did Ministers Matter? War and Religion in England, 1642–1649

When the Scots advanced on England in August 1640, reports of their formidable progress quickly reached London. Their march wasvery solemn and sad much after the heavy form shewed in funerals. In the first place do march after the trumpets (which carry mourning ribbons & c.) a hundred ministers, whereof one in the middle carrieth the Bible covered with a mourning cover. There follow a great number of old men with petitions in their hands, and then the lords that are commanders wearing black ribbons or some sign of mourning, and in the last place the soldiers trailing their pikes with black ribbons on them, and the drums beating a sad march, such as they say is used in the funerals of officers of war.It would be hard to find a more vivid example of the integration of war and religion, of assent by military laymen to clerical authority, or of manipulation of ritual to impart a message: the presence of ministers and the Bible even more than the sobriety of the troops asserted that this army was the agent of God, to the comfort of its soldiers and the terror of its enemies.Could England achieve comparable godliness, order, and confidence in execution of divine purpose in the conduct of its own war? Parliamentary clergy lived in hope of similar recognition and achievement. Yet at best ritual must be distinguished from accompanying practice, as the conduct of Scottish soldiers in Newcastle and its environs was to demonstrate; at worst the clerical message was derided and ignored.
