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,

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.

Reimagining the White Child as Other: Taika Waititi's Decolonial Play in James and the Giant Peach With Taika and Friends

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how James and the Giant Peach with Taika and Friends (JGPTF) (2020) challenges the colonial logics embedded in Roald Dahl's construction of the universal white child. Through collaborative digital play, humour and Māori relational epistemologies, Taika Waititi unsettles James's position as the normative child of futurity,

Heat‐ and Light‐Directed Cycloadditions Enable a Pericyclic Cascade Reaction From a Molecular Precursor

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 41, 5 October 2026.
A multi‐stimuli‐responsive material is designed that responds to light, heat, and mechanical force through distinct chemical reaction pathways. The pathway is directed by self‐assembly and the applied stimulus. A novel pericyclic reaction cascade is also achieved, and the mechanism is supported through density functional theory calculations.

Effect of Different Surface Treatments and Manufacturing Methods on the Shear Bond Strength of Repaired Resin‐Based Restorations

open access: yesJournal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of different surface treatments on the shear bond strength of repaired milled and 3D‐printed resin restorations. Materials and Methods A total of 84 resin specimens (8 mm diameter, 5 mm height) fabricated using two different methods such as milling (Grandio Disc) and 3D ...

Influence of recovery model of coalbed methane wells after drainage interruption on coal fines migration in propped fractures

open access: yesMeikuang Anquan
In the drainage process of coalbed methane well, the interruption of drainage will induce a large amount of coal fines to stay in propped fractures, causing damage to the permeability of propped fractures. Based on the solid-liquid two-phase flow and gas-

City of God and the Duty of Just Memory

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract In a recent essay, Richard Miller claims that Augustine presumes a duty to remember justly in his City of God. However, Miller's brief reference to a presumed duty of “just memory” does not fully explain how Augustine conceptualizes this duty or how it relates to his theological concerns.
