A simulation study of the impact of fracture networks on the co-production of geothermal energy and lithium [PDF]
arXivCo-production of geothermal energy and lithium is an emerging opportunity with the potential to enhance the economic potential of geothermal operations. The economic reward of extracting lithium from geothermal brine is determined by how the lithium concentration evolves during brine production.

Geology of symmetric grounds [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Let us say that a model of $\mathsf{ZF}$ is a symmetric ground if $V$ is a symmetric extension of the model. In this paper, we investigate set-theoretic geology of symmetric grounds. Under a certain assumption, we show that all symmetric grounds of $V$ are uniformly definable. We also show that if $\mathsf{AC}$ is forceable over $V$, then the symmetric

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The mechanical characteristics of three different types of sandstones under high stress levels are studied. The degree of fragmentation of specimens increases with the applied stress level. The acoustic emission counting of different types of sandstones presents three stages: weakening, stabilizing, and surging.

Closely piling up of multiple adhesive fronts in adhesive friction due to re-attachment [PDF]
arXivFriction impacts a wide range of fields, spanning engineering, geology, biomechanics, and numerous others. As a fundamental force, it influences various aspects of our daily lives and industrial processes across multiple disciplines. To understand how adhesive friction seemingly breaks the size limit dictated by the fracture theory, here we investigate
