Prospects Of Amino Acids And Ionic Liquids As Natural Gas Hydrate Inhibitors For Offshore Flow Assurance by Qureshi, M. Fahed Aziz

“…The inhibitors tend to show better hydrate inhibition effect at low pressures (40 bars) and their inhibition effect decreases as the pressure rises. At the same concentration (10 wt%), the ammonium-based ionic liquid [EA][Of] provided the inhibition effect similar to MEG and at the higher concentration (20 wt%) the amino acid glycine provided better hydrate inhibition effect than the MEG. …”

The response of culturally important plants to experimental warming and clipping in Pakistan Himalayas by Karimi, Saira

“…The relative effects of climate warming with grazing on medicinally important plants are not fully understood in Hindukush-Himalaya (HKH) region. Therefore, we combined the indigenous knowledge about culturally important therapeutic plants and climate change with experimental warming (open-top chambers) and manual clipping (simulated grazing effect) and compared the relative difference on aboveground biomass and percent cover of plant species at five alpine meadow sites on an elevation gradient (4696 m-3346 m) from 2016- 2018. …”
