QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF POROSITY EVOLUTION IN THE TRIASSIC CHANG 8 TIGHT SANDSTONE RESERVOIR DURING HYDROCARBON ACCUMULATION IN THE MALING AREA, ORDOS BASIN, CHINA

Quantitative characterization of porosity evolution in the Triassic Chang 8 tight sandstone reservoir during hydrocarbon accumulation in the Maling area, Ordos Basin, China

The Maling area in the Ordos Basin is characterized by delta front deposits.The principal oil-bearing layer, Chang 8 Member (the 8th member of the Triassic Yanchang Formation), manifests low-to-ultra-low porosity and permeability due to the interplay of depositional, diagenetic, and burial processes.The reservoir exhibits pronounced heterogeneity a

PfClpC Is an Essential Clp Chaperone Required for Plastid Integrity and Clp Protease Stability in Plasmodium falciparum

Summary: The deadly malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum contains a nonphotosynthetic plastid, known as the apicoplast, that functions to produce essential metabolites, and drugs that target the apicoplast are clinically effective.Several prokaryotic caseinolytic protease (Clp) genes have been identified in the Plasmodium genome.Using phylogeneti
