Existing scientific approaches to the issue of personal change are interdisciplinary in their nature.The problem of studying personal changes as a result of the transformation of personality traits under the influence of various objective and subjective challenges has both theoretical and practical aspects.The article summarizes the current views o
The Maling area in the Ordos Basin is characterized by delta front deposits.The principal oil-bearing layer, Chang 8 Member ICL Thermistor (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
Sodium-potassium niobate ((Na1-xKx)NbO3) powders with x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 were prepared following the conventional mixed oxide method and characterized by TG-DTA, XRD and SEM techniques.The effects of calcination temperature, dwell time and K2CO3 content on phase formation behavior and morphology of the powders were investigated.The calcinati
Amongst the chemokine signalling axes involved in cancer, chemokine CXCL12 acting on chemokine receptor CXCR4 is particularly significant since it orchestrates migration of cancer cells in a tissue-specific metastatic process.High CXCR4 tumour expression is associated with poor prognosis of Abyssinian lung, brain, CNS, blood and breast cancers.We h
