Adiabatic behavior of gas wells due to natural reservoir fines migration: analytical model and CFD study

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2019
The adiabatic behavior of natural gas production well is frequently neglected in the reservoir formation damage study. The temperature of surrounding formation contributes to the smooth flow of natural gas in the wellbore.

A Report on the Media and the Immigration Debate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Analyzes media coverage of immigration since 1980 and how industry practices and new media have conditioned the public to associate immigration with illegality, crisis, controversy, and government failure, causing a stalemate in the policy ...

Endothelial Cells Angiogenesis in Sulfated Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Hydrogels Enhanced by Bioactive Glass‐Released Ions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically tunable hydrogel composed of gelatin, chondroitin sulfate and laminin promotes angiogenesis in vitro without the supplement of growth factors. Endothelial cells morphogenesis was further enhanced by medium conditioned with bioactive glass 58S‐released ions (Ca and Si), thus offering a promising strategy to vascularize 3D tissue ...

Interconnected Porous Hydrogels with Tunable Anisotropy Through Aqueous Emulsion Bioprinting

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D bioprintable microporous bioink is developed using an aqueous two‐phase system (ATPS) composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) mimetic biopolymers. The ATPS bioink enables the fabrication of interconnected porous architectures with up to 70% porosity, supporting long‐term cell viability and 3D cell alignment, enabling a simultaneous generation of ...

Electrochemically Driven Dissipative Growth of Affinity Hydrogels for Bioresponsive Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Voltage pulses drive the growth and reinforcement of hydrogel films under dissipative conditions. This biocompatible strategy enables efficient integration of affinity ligands into the hydrogel matrix, enhancing the selective capture of growth factors and allowing precise temporal control over their release, making them well‐suited as adaptive ...

Water-salt migration and strength characteristics of fine-grained salinized aeolian sand under freeze-thaw cycles

open access: yesShuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi
Freeze-thaw cycles significantly deteriorate the engineering properties of fine-grained salinized aeolian sand, resulting in a decrease in the long-term performance of aeolian sand roadbeds and frequent roadbed diseases.

Inferring Fine-grained Migration Patterns across the United States

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal
Fine-grained migration data illuminate important demographic, environmental, and health phenomena. However, migration datasets within the United States remain lacking: publicly available Census data are neither spatially nor temporally granular, and proprietary data have higher resolution but demographic and other biases.
