Enhance Oil Recovery in Fracture-Cave Carbonate Reservoirs Using Zwitterion-Anionic Composite Surfactant System by Wei Peng, Qing You, Xiaoqiang Liu, Bojie Zhou, Xingxing Ding, Yuechun Du, Liangfei Xiao

“…Surfactant flooding is usually adopted in these conditions because it can mitigate water channeling and enhance sweep efficiency by lowering the interfacial tension (it refers to the force that is generated due to the unbalanced molecular attraction on the liquid surface layer and causes the liquid surface to contract) between oil and water. Nonetheless, the Tahe oilfield is a carbonate reservoir where surfactant is prone to loss near the well, thereby limiting its application. …”

HIV-1 drug resistance and genetic transmission networks among patients with sexually transmitted HIV in Ningxia, China by Jianxin Pei, Zhonglan Wu, Zhonglan Wu, Bingqian Si, Chunhua Ma, Yichang Liu, Xiaofa Ma, Wenhe Kuai, Yinhao Zhang, Yong Li

“…Some MSM and HSTs were involved in the same cluster and might act as bridges for transmission between the two populations.ConclusionOur data showed that heterosexually transmitted HIV-1 was more likely to be a drug-resistant virus, whereas MSM was more likely to contract viruses through network connection. It is strongly recommended that resistance testing be conducted before ART to improve effective treatment and reduce the spread of resistant viruses. …”
