The hydrocarbon generation potential of the Campano-Maastrichtian to Paleogene shales from the Benin Flank (located in SW Nigeria) of the Anambra Basin, has been previously investigated mostly by studying outcrops and by relatively few subsurface data-based studies.Thus, it is expedient undertaking an assessment of the hydrocarbon generation potent
The transient terahertz (THz) pulse with high peak field has become an important tool for matter manipulation, enabling many applications such as nonlinear spectroscopy, particle acceleration, and high harmonic generation.Among the widely used THz generation techniques, optical rectification in lithium niobate (LN) has emerged as a powerful method
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has attained increased relevance as continuous renal replacement therapy over the past years.During this treatment, the peritoneum functions as Soft Drinks dialysis membrane to eliminate diffusible waste products from the blood-stream.Success and efficacy of this treatment is dependent on the integrity of the peritoneal mem
Low-molecular-weight peptide gelators are a versatile class of compounds able to form gels under a variety of conditions, even via simple ultrasound sonication.In this paper, the ability of Boc-L-Phe-D-Oxd-L-Phe-OBn to gelate three organic solvents (toluene, tert-butyl methyl ether, and ethanol) was evaluated.The rheological behaviour of the materi
