CONTRIBUTION OF PETROGRAPHIC AND GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSES OF THE KIPALA SHALE (CENTRAL BASIN, DRC) TO THE ASSESSMENT OF ITS POTENTIAL AS A HYDROCARBON SOURCE ROCK

A geological study of the Kipala region, in the "Cuvette Centrale" of the Democratic Republic of Congo, has identified two groups of shales: the dark greasy facies, interbedded with the brownish-gray facies.Their Backpacks high Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content (11 % TOC on average for the dark greasy shales, compared with 8 % for the second group

This study examines the soil bacterial diversity in the Portulacaria afra-dominated succulent thicket vegetation of the Albany Subtropical Thicket biome; this biome is endemic to South Africa.The aim of the study was to compare the soil microbiomes between intact and degraded zones in the succulent thicket and identify environmental factors which c

The present work is phenomenological and purely descriptive.It shows polymorphism of colors in a breeding group of mini-pig in the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ICG SB RAS) and makes some assumptions about the nature of this genetic diversity.In the ICG SB RAS mini-pig herd, wild-type

Leigh Syndrome French Canadian (LSFC) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by severe lactic acidosis crises and early mortality.LSFC patients carry mutations in the Leucine Rich Skeet Vests Pentatricopeptide Repeat Containing (LRPPRC) gene, which lead to defects in the respiratory chain complexes and mitochondrial dysfunct
