AbstractTight oil reservoirs have poor physical properties, and the problems including rapid oil rate decline and low oil recovery degree are quite common after volume fracturing. To obtain a general understanding of tight oil reservoir production improvement by CO2 huff ‘n’ puff, the high-pressure physical properties of typical tight oil samples are measured. Combining the typical reservoir parameters, the production characteristics of the tight oil reservoir developed by the CO2 huff ‘n’ puff are numerically studied on the basis of highly fitted experimental results. The results show that: (1) during the natural depletion stage, the oil production rate decreases rapidly and the oil recovery degree is low because of the decrease in oil displacement energy and the increase in fluid seepage resistance. (2) CO2 huff ‘n’ puff can improve the development effect of tight oil reservoirs by supplementing reservoir energy and improving oil mobility, but the development effect gradually worsens with increasing cycle number. (3) The earlier the CO2 injection timing is, the better the development effect of the tight reservoir is, but the less sufficient natural energy utilization is. When carrying out CO2 stimulation, full use should be made of the natural energy, and the appropriate injection timing should be determined by comprehensively considering the formation-saturation pressure difference and oil production rate. The research results are helpful for strengthening the understanding of the production characteristics of tight oil reservoirs developed by CO2 huff ‘n’ puff.

Nanoparticles are components of many vaccines, helping to make them more stable and immunogenic. They protect antigens—or the genetic material encoding them—from degradation, target them to particular tissues or cells, promote their uptake into antigen-presenting cells, and activate the immune response (in the form of adjuvants). Nanoparticles come in many different kinds, some with uniform composition and some with elaborate core-and-shell structures, including lipid membranes. The antigen is usually retained inside, and the surface can be functionalized by targeting or activating proteins and carbohydrates. This minireview provides a general introductory overview to vaccination and a survey of nanoparticles, their types, production, characteristics, and individual applications in vaccines, and finally, a brief look into the world of artificial antigen-presenting cells.

Nutritional supplements produced from soy and being rich in protein, fat and many other valuable substances have become a promising source of fortification of bakery products. This study aimed to develop a technology for producing wheat bread enriched with a protein-vitamin-mineral ingredient (PVMI) obtained from germinated soybeans. When kneading the dough, PVMI was added together with wheat flour and other dry components. Mathematical modeling of the wheat bread sensory evaluation showed the optimal content of PVMI in the recipe was 20% of the weight of wheat flour. As a result of the correlation-regression analysis, the most rational production characteristics for obtaining bread enriched with BVMI have been established. The amount of protein in the bread sample increased by 71.9%, dietary fiber - by 40.9%, vitamin E - by 34.7%, vitamin B1 - by 190%, vitamin B2 - by 80%, choline - by 186%. The fat quantity was 4.1 times more. At the same time, the total carbohydrate content decreased by 18.1% compared to the control sample. The improved chemical composition makes it possible to classify wheat bread with PVMI as an enriched food product.

The final goal of this work is development of new genotypes of wheat with better properties compared to the standard set. Prediction of optimal descriptors and properties related to the production characteristics is performed using several statistical and chemometrical tools, like correlation analysis, principal component analysis, cluster analysis and linear discriminant analysis. Optimisation of wheat genotypes is directed towards high food quality.

About 120 million tons of red mud is produced worldwide each year. Due to its high basicity and potential leaching, its storage is a critical environmental problem. This material is typically stored in dams, which demands prior care of the disposal area and includes monitoring and maintenance throughout its useful life. Consequently, it is crucial to figure out an industrial solution able to consumes large volumes of this material. At this moment, there are several studies, the majority in metallurgical procedures, building materials, and in the chemical industry, discussing how to reuse red mud. This paper provides a review of the aluminium process, including metal importance, its global production, and the environmental impact due to its manufacture process. It presents a review of the potential application of red mud showing its overall generation, some relevant characterisation results collected from the literature, and its utilisation in diverse areas of engineering. The study aimed to highlight applications where red mud characteristics may be favourable.
