水合物地层低温钻井液对井底岩石表层强度影响

由于天然气水合物仅在高压低温条件下稳定存在,为了保持水合物稳定,在钻井过程中宜采用低温钻井液,而在低温条件下钻井液能否对井底岩石表层起到软化作用,对于提高机械钻速具有重要意义。在分析钻井液对井底岩石表层软化作用机制的基础上,较系统地建立低温钻井液软化井底岩石表层定量评价方法,以清水为对比浆液,通过试验将6种水合物地层模拟钻井液(分别含有质量分数为0.1%的表面活性剂和有机盐处理剂)在低温条件下对薄片砂岩试样的软化效果进行对比。结果表明:相比于两种有机盐处理剂,含表面活性剂的4种模拟钻井液在低温条件下对岩样软化效果更好,有利于提高岩石破碎效率和机械钻速;4种含表面活性剂钻井液中,含十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)钻井液对岩样的软化效果最好。     

Myosin-like protein in the human parathyroid glands: an immunohistochemical study.

The immunofluorescent staining of the human parathyroid glands shows that the principal cells bind antimyosin-like antibodies. The presence of a myosin-like protein in the principal cells of the human parathyroid glands is presumably in rapport with parathormone secretion.     

Lipoprotein lipase activator deficiency in very low density lipoproteins in rat nephrotic syndrome.

Marked urinary loss of lipoprotein lipase activator in experimental rat nephrotic syndrome may be partly responsible for its deficiency in plasma very low density lipoproteins.     

Reproductive ecology of bison on Antelope Island, Utah

Autumn musters of bison ( Bison bison ) on Antelope Island State Park, Utah, conducted annually since 1987, provided data on temporal and age-specific reproductive patterns and a basis to evaluate the efficacy of management measures implemented to elevate reproductive performance in the herd. Pregnancy rates were variable and low ( x = 46.2%) in comparison to other free-ranging, noncommercial bison herds in North America. Cows in the 3- and > 6-yr range age classes exhibited lower-than-expected pregnancy rates ( P r = 0.64, P = 0.047) linear decline of 2.5% per annum. Variance in distribution of fetal ages observed in 6 yr indicates substantial temporal fluctuation. Long-term reproductive performance of cohorts born prior to implementation of management measures did not differ from that of cohorts born subsequent to these changes.
