Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Gas hydrates are acquainted as a significant topic to the oil and gas flow assurance, as it creates pipelines occlusions. The formation of gas hydrates can create many functional issues such as: stop of production, high preservation expenditures, environmental dangers and even loss of human beings. In this work five different amino acids such as: leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, glycine and asparagine examined if they work as kinetic inhibitors on mixture gas hydrate formation. The outcomes indicated that phenylalanine, asparagine and glycine (phenylalanine>asparagine>glycine) behaved as inhibitors following the rank from most powerful to less one while leucine and methionine behaved as promoters (leucine>methionine) for both hydrate formation and induction time.
