But it did enable him to shed his big-oil image for a while and play to his strengths before cheering audiences.
However, another boost was given to olive oil's image recently when a study published in the Annals of Oncology showed that its most plentiful monounsaturated fat - oleic acid - has the ability to mute the effect of a common breast cancer gene.
The scientists confirmed the model's predictions in tests and found that water droplets up to 170 microliters in volume could float on oil (inset image and video).
On 11 December, the Hubble Space Telescope struck oil: An image of the same supernova appeared just as predicted, the first time such an event has been successfully forecast.
For calculating pores and throats area that occupied by the oil, the Image Analyzer Software was used.
Stable fluid was injected into a strongly oil-wet five-spot glass micromodel saturated with heavy oil and image processing was applied to analyze the displacement mechanisms and calculate the efficiency of each flooding test.
e Pressure build-up during blank DA-1 and test DA-5 (100 V, neat oil) Open image in new window Fig. 4 a Pressure build-up during blank DB-1 and test DB-2 (20 V, 80 20 oil).
d Pressure build-up during blank DB-1 and test DB-4 (80 V, 80 20 oil) Open image in new window Fig. 5 a Pressure build-up during blank DC-1 and test DC-2 (20 V, 50 50 oil).
The smell of rancid sun oil, the image of parents cleaning the lice off their childrens' heads in the pools and the almost transparent donuts that were basically the only food on offer are some of the memories I came to associate with Romanian spa tourism.
The stories told by the archive can reflect emergencies (the liberal sprinkling of Gulf of Mexico oil slick images since April), reliable seasonal changes (satellite images of floods dominate during the spring and fall months), or common yet dramatic events (you can always count on images of active volcanoes puffing away, usually within spitting distance of a vulnerable city or village).
Had Degas covered the original painting of Dobigny with a lead-rich ground layer, or used thicker oils, the image of the model may have been hard, or even impossible, to reconstruct.
