Sodium chloride (NaCl), Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) and chloroform (A.R grade) were purchased from Finar Chemicals. Aqueous solutions of the SAILs and brines were prepared by using degassed Millipore-grade water. Three types of brine solutions were prepared for adsorption studies carried out in this...
Finally, from the diagenetic history, the effects of weathering and fracturing on the physical properties of the different types of volcanic rocks were associated with oil and gas distribution. This study showed that the level of porosity improvement caused by weathering and leaching of the different...
Description:Xantusiidae is a family of very small lizards(4 cm to 12 cm long) that live under rocks, inside tree trunks etc. All species in the family are viviparous (giving birth to live young). Night lizards have a flat head and body. Their eyes, like those of snakes, are covered...
Adsorption is a major industrial separation technique for the purification of effluent media. It is a mass transfer operation through which a solid material can selectively remove dissolved components from an aqueous solution by attracting the dissolved solute to its surface. Therefore, it involves the...

of land use (native and reforested forest and scrubland) and soil properties on the steady-state soil infiltration rate because of the limited evidence about soil infiltration in Mediterranean mountains with sandy and acid soils developed on granite rocks. We employed a simple-ring methacrylate ...
garrettii grows in travertine (Pennell 1920) and calcareous rocks (Goodrich and Neese 1986) from the eastern side of the Wasatch Range to Uinta Mts., Blue Mts., and Tavaputs plateaus. Finally, P. scariosus var. scariosus inhabits the Wasatch, Fish Lake, and the northern Aquarius ...
