After a sandstone oilfield enters the high water-cut period, the viscosity of crude oil has an important influence on remaining oil distribution and waterflooding characteristics under the same factors of, e.g., reservoir quality and development methods. Based on a comprehensive interpretation of the waterflooded layers in new oil wells, physical s...

The article presents results of genetic typing of South Kazakhstan populations' dairy camels based on DNA technology using 12 camel microsatellite loci (LCA-8, LCA-19, LCA-37, LCA-56, LCA-65, LCA-66, CMS-16, YWLL-08, YWLL-29, YWLL-38, YWLL-44 and VOLP-10). The work shows the effectiveness of the used microsatellite loci in compiling the genetic pro...
Le jeu de tire-bouc, dont le bouzkachi afghan est une des variantes, est pratiqué par plusieurs peuples turciques d’Asie centrale. C’est une sorte de rugby à cheval, où le cadavre d’un caprin tient lieu de ballon.

Globally, grasslands are shaped by fire and herbivory, and grassland plants are adapted to these disturbances. However, temperate grasslands have been hotspots of land-use change, and how such changes affect interrelations between herbivory, fire and vegetation are poorly understood. Such land-use changes are widespread on the Eurasian steppe, wher...

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem. Clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolate with Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (MTB-XDR) profile was subjected to whole-genome sequencing using a next-generation sequencing platform (NGS) Roche 454 GS FLX+ followed by bioinformatics sequence analysis. Quality of read...
