Impact of salinity of fracturing fluid on the migration of coal fines in propped fractures and cleats

open access: yesMeitan xuebao, 2023
During the hydraulic fracturing of coalbed methane (CBM) well, the deposition of coal fines in propped fractures and the migration of coal fines in cleats will damage the permeabilities of propped fractures and cleats, consequently affecting the ...

Subordination of related party claims in insolvency: A suggestive framework for Asian regimes

open access: yesInternational Insolvency Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Related party loans, due to their inherent nature, warrant a higher threshold for scrutiny when compared to loans extended by unrelated parties. Why were these monies advanced as loans, carrying higher priority in insolvency, rather than being invested as share capital?

Sustainable Healthy Diet Transitions: An Examination of Media Discourse Concerning Beef in the United Kingdom From 2018 to 2022

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of diet in individual and planetary health is increasingly scrutinised as consumers are encouraged to make food choices that balance health and sustainability, particularly with beef. While prior research has considered reduction from the perspective of alternate product acceptance, the social context of beef is less understood. Media

The “We” and “Me” of Identity in Hazardous Industry Organizations: Face Work Tactics Among Practicing Engineers

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
In this paper, we use Goffman's notion of “face work” to examine how pipeline engineers perform and present their working selves as competent experts. Our analysis identifies various faces and face work tactics, including a focus on professional judgment, actively selling one's expertise relative to others, protective self‐deprecatory strategies, and ...

Rulers on the road: Itinerant rule in the Holy Roman Empire, AD 919–1519

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Itinerant rule, rule exercised through traveling, was a common yet insufficiently researched, premodern form of governance. Studying the determinants of ruler itineraries in the Holy Roman Empire, AD 919–1519, we argue that rulers' visits targeted “marginal” elites.

Physical Simulation Experiment for Visualizing Pulverized Coal Transport in Propped Fractures

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The issue of pulverized coal in coalbed methane wells during the discharge and mining process spans all stages, and it is a key factor constraining the continuous and stable discharge and production capacity of coalbed methane.

On the Destruction and Humanitarianisation of the Health System in Gaza and the Need for a Biopolitical Bioethics

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines Israel's destruction and ‘humanitarianisation’ of Palestinian health systems, arguing that this should be understood as an instance of ‘necropolitics,’ as conceived by Achille Mbembe. We review the extensive, long‐term destruction of health systems in Palestine before 7 October 2023 and the catastrophic acceleration of that

Numerical Investigation of Fracture Compressibility and Uncertainty on Water-Loss and Production Performance in Tight Oil Reservoirs

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Multi-stage hydraulic fracturing along with horizontal wells are widely used to create complex fracture networks in tight oil reservoirs. Analysis of field flowback data shows that most of the fracturing fluids are contained in a complex fracture network,

Academia, My Abusive Lover

open access: yesGender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this essay, I will tell the reader about the relationship between Academia—the person, Academia—the institution, and too many female academics. Through these experiences, I will offer examples of some of the typical abuse experienced at the hands of Academia.
