CONTRIBUTION OF PETROGRAPHIC AND GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSES OF THE KIPALA SHALE (CENTRAL BASIN, DRC) TO THE ASSESSMENT OF ITS POTENTIAL AS A HYDROCARBON SOURCE ROCK

A geological study of the Kipala region, in the "Cuvette Centrale" of the Democratic Republic of Congo, has identified two groups of shales: the dark greasy facies, interbedded with the brownish-gray facies.Their high Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content (11 Dog Collar Battery % TOC on average for the dark greasy shales, compared with 8 % for the sec

Background: Data on agility skills in different populations using pre-planned, change of direction speed tests have previously been reported.However, there are no available data on the agility times of athletes specializing in different sports obtained from Dryer Door Switch Reactive agility tests.Objective: The study compares agility time in group

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a prominent role in plant nutrition by supplying mineral nutrients, particularly inorganic phosphate (Pi), and also constitute an important carbon sink.AM stimulates plant growth and development, but the underlying mechanisms are Artista Collection not well understood.In this study, Medicago truncatula plants

Sun et al.(2012) proposed a modified non-hydrostatic model (MNH), in which the left-hand side of the continuity equation is multiplied Stimulators by a parameter δ (4≤δ≤16 in the article) to suppress high-frequency acoustic waves.They showed that the MNH allows a longer time step than the original non-hydrostatic model (

Background: Ciliary body size may be objectively assessed by ultrasound scanning and near-infrared transpalpebral transillumination.Purpose: To investigate the dimensions of ciliary body structures in various axial eye lengths in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).Materials and Methods: This study included 35 RRD patients (35 eye
