This study is of great value in enriching the prediction of "sweet spots" in tight gas sandstone reservoirs in low-amplitude tectonic zones worldwide.
We developed a discrete-trials choice procedure to measure the reward value of an intense sweet taste relative to intravenous cocaine.
Behind his noisy misanthropy, there's a better founded rage against the corruption and topsy-turvy values of modern Britain – articulated in a sweet closing song that contrasts his own small-fry bad behaviour with that of bankers, warmongers and politicians.
