Regional similarities in the distributions of well yield from crystalline rocks in Fennoscandia [PDF]
Well yields from Precambrian and Palaeozoic bedrock in Norway, Sweden and Finland exhibit very similar and approximately log-normal distributions: all three data sets exhibit a median yield of 600–700 L hr-1, despite the differences in climate and ...

Electro-Magnetic Earthquake Bursts and Critical Rupture of Peroxy Bond Networks in Rocks
We propose a mechanism for the low frequency electromagnetic emissions and other electromagnetic phenomena which have been associated with earthquakes. The mechanism combines the critical earthquake concept and the concept of crust acting as a charging ...

First-principles study, fabrication and characterization of (Zr0.25Nb0.25Ti0.25V0.25)C high-entropy ceramic [PDF]
The formation possibility of a new (Zr0.25Nb0.25Ti0.25V0.25)C high-entropy ceramic (ZHC-1) was first analyzed by the first-principles calculations and thermodynamical analysis and then it was successfully fabricated by hot pressing sintering technique ...

Nonuniversal conductivity exponents in continuum percolating Gaussian fractures [PDF]
We study the electrical and hydraulic conductivity percolation exponents in a Gaussian fracture using the method proposed in Plouraboué et al. [Phys. Rev. E 73, 036305, 2006].

Coupled h-m fracture interaction using fem with zero-thickness interface elements [PDF]
Intensive hydraulic fracturing is a procedure employed for low permeability reservoir stimulation. This technique consists of generating a sequence of regularly spaced parallel fractures (multi-stage fracturing). The generation of a fracture involves the

Permeability Estimates of Self-Affine Fracture Faults Based on Generalization of the Bottle Neck Concept [PDF]
We propose a method for calculating the effective permeability of two-dimensional self-affine permeability fields based on generalizing the one-dimensional concept of a bottleneck.
