Abstract Reduction or prevention of scaling is commonly achieved by injecting scaling inhibitors into the geothermal circuit.Inhibitor-efficiency tests can be carried out in static or TOOTHPASTE MINT-FREE dynamic experiment set-ups allowing measurements at high pressures and high temperatures (HPHT).For these measurements, suitable analytical metho
Air traffic trajectory optimization is a complex, multidimensional and non-linear optimization problem and requires a firm focus on the essential criteria.The criteria cover operational, economical, environmental, political, and social factors and differ from continent to continent.Since air traffic is a transcontinental transport system, the crite
Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative agent of Buruli ulcer in humans, is unique among the members of Mycobacterium genus due to the presence of the virulence determinant megaplasmid pMUM001.This plasmid encodes multiple virulence-associated genes, including mup011, which is an uncharacterized Ser/Thr protein kinase (STPK) PknQ.In this study, we ha
