Study on Compound Percussive Drilling: Rock‐Breaking Mechanism of High Confining Pressure Formation in the East China Sea

open access: yesEnergy Science & Engineering
The effect of improving the depth of penetration (ROP) in deep, high‐confining pressure formation is closely related to the rock‐breaking method, which has become a bottleneck restricting the efficient development of oil and gas.

Predicting malting barley protein concentration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The preferred grain protein concentration (CP) of malting barley is 10.5-11.0%, but 9.5-11.5% is acceptable. It is a challenge for farmers to achieve this target with crops grown in heterogeneous fields and exposed to fluctuating weather conditions ...
