Permethrin Insecticide Influence on Microorganisms Present in Surface Waters by Julia Sroczyńska, Urszula Guzik, Wojciech Smułek

“…The obtained results showed that for the tested microorganisms, the toxic effect of permethrin is observed at 1000 ppm for water consortia and pure strains as well, except <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> KlaKry, which appeared to be resistant to the insecticide. What is more, the bacteria consortium from Kierskie Lake appeared to be more sensitive to insecticide, from the perspective of compound toxicity. …”

Pore-Scale Gas–Water Two-Phase Flow Mechanisms for Underground Hydrogen Storage: A Mini Review of Theory, Experiment, and Simulation by Xiao He, Yao Wang, Yuanshu Zheng, Wenjie Zhang, Yonglin Dai, Hao Zou

“…Due to the high resolution, non-contact, and non-destructive, as well as the scalable in situ high-temperature and high-pressure experimental conditions, CT scanning-based visualization technology has received increasing attention. The research presented in this paper can provide theoretical guidance for further understanding the characterization of the micro-pore structure of reservoir rocks and the mechanisms of two-phase flow at the pore scale.…”
