The solubility of asphaltenes in crude oils is predominantly influenced by variations in temperature, pressure, and oil composition.These alterations can precipitate asphaltene deposition, resulting in diminished permeability, obstruction of wells and auxiliary surface facilities, and ultimately, a reduction or cessation of production.Therefore, it
Abstract As geographic distance increases, species assemblages become more distinct, defining global biogeographic realms with abrupt biogeographic boundaries.Yet, it remains largely unknown to what extent these realms may change because of human-mediated dispersal of species.Focusing on the distributions of 309 non-native ant species, we show that
The NDCube 2 API is a Python application programming interface (API) for storing and manipulating N-dimensional coordinate-aware astronomical data.While there are Python packages for handling astronomical data and coordinate transformations separately and for handling specific combinations of dimensions and transformations, none provide a unified a
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans arrests development at the first larval stage if food is not present upon hatching.Larvae in this stage provide an excellent model for studying stress responses during development.We found that supplementing starved larvae with ethanol markedly extends their lifespan within this L1 diapause.The effects of ethanol
