Abstract: A composition includes a polymer having a structure as shown in Formula (I): where x is from 20 to 70, y is from 20 to 30, z is from 1.0 to 10, and p is from 1.0 to 10. A method of making the polymer is also provided. The polymer composition may be used as a wellbore fluid. Also provided is a method of treating a hydrocarbon bearing formation. The method includes introducing the polymer-containing wellbore fluid into a high permeability zone of a hydrocarbon bearing formation such that it blocks at least a portion of the high permeability zone of the hydrocarbon bearing formation, stimulating the hydrocarbon bearing formation thereby creating pathways for hydrocarbon production, and recovering hydrocarbons.

Abstract: Combinations of one or more anti-obesity drugs with mixtures of an omega-3 fatty acid formulation containing about 90% or more omega 3 fatty acids by weight comprised of a combination of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in a weight ratio of EPA:DHA of from 5.7 to 6.3, wherein the sum of the EPA, DHA and DPA comprise about 82% by weight of the total formulation and about 92% of the total omega 3 fatty acid content of the composition are taught. EPA+DHA are about 80% of the total formulation and about 89% of the total omega 3 fatty acid content of the composition. The formulation may further contain specific amounts of arachidonic acid (AA) and of omega-3 fatty acids having 18 carbon atoms, including one or more of stearidonic acid (SDA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

Abstract: A tuned pipe exhaust for a two cycle internal combustion engine for snowmobiles and the like includes a conically shaped converging megaphone section terminating in a small end tube. An absorptive spiral muffler unit is co-axially secured to the end tube and includes an inner radial end wall extending radially from the end tube. The muffler unit attenuates high frequency exhaust noise. The space between such end wall and the upstream conical wall of the tuned pipe is enclosed with a tubular resonator wall to define a resonator cavity with coupling opening in the end tube. The cavity and throat opening defines a Helmholtz resonator which attenuates low frequency exhaust noise. The combination of a low frequency reactive section and a high frequency absorptive section creates an effective balanced silencer operating over the normal frequency spectrum of such engines.
