Investigating the traffic-related environmental impacts of hydraulic-fracturing (fracking) operations [PDF]
Environment International, 2016 Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) has been used extensively in the US and Canada since the 1950s and offers the potential for significant new sources of oil and gas supply.

Progress on the hydraulic measures for grid slotting and fracking to enhance coal seam permeability
International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2017 A method of hydraulic grid slotting and hydraulic fracturing was proposed to enhance the permeability of low permeability coal seam in China. Micro-structural development and strength characteristics of coal were analysed to set up the failure criterion ...

Fracking bad language – hydraulic fracturing and earthquake risks [PDF]
Geoscience Communication, 2021 Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a borehole stimulation technique used to enhance permeability in geological resource management, including the extraction of shale gas. The process of hydraulic fracturing can induce seismicity.

Effect of Providing Information on Students' Knowledge and Concerns about Hydraulic Fracking. [PDF]
J Toxicol Environ Health A, 2015 Governmental agencies, regulators, health professionals, and the public are faced with understanding and responding to new development practices and conditions in their local and regional environment. While hydraulic fracking (fracking) for shale gas has been practiced for over 50 years in some states, it is a relatively recent event in the ...

FRAP-CROSS technique: Fracking and Rendezvous-PIERCE for intracalcium crossing in femoropopliteal diffuse calcified occlusions [PDF]
CVIR EndovascularBackground Femoropopliteal diffuse calcified occlusions (FPDCOs) are challenging, especially in high-bleeding-risk patients for whom a stentless strategy is preferred.

Hydraulic fracturing in cells and tissues: fracking meets cell biology [PDF]
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2017 The animal body is fundamentally made of water. A small fraction of this water is freely flowing in blood and lymph, but most of it is trapped in hydrogels such as the extracellular matrix (ECM), the cytoskeleton, and chromatin.

Inhibition of Microbial Growth and Biofilm Formation in Pure and Mixed Bacterial Samples [PDF]
MicroorganismsHydraulic fracturing, or fracking, requires large amounts of water to extract fossil fuel from rock formations. As a result of hydraulic fracturing, the briny wastewater, often termed back-produced fracturing or fracking water (FW), is pumped into ...
