Complementary hydro-mechanical coupled finite/discrete element and microseismic modelling to predict hydraulic fracture propagation in tight shale reservoirs [PDF]

, 2016
This paper presents a novel approach to predict the propagation of hydraulic fractures in tight shale reservoirs. Many hydraulic fracture modelling schemes assume that the fracture direction is pre-seeded in the problem domain discretization.

Precarious agency: The role of uptake

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract How do we overcome the agency dilemma, that is, account for the fact that power relations heavily affect our agency without neglecting the many ways in which oppressed people act meaningfully? This article offers a solution by paying special attention to socially complex uptake in a framework of communities of practice. In order to explain the

Practical Well Test Analysis of a Hydraulically Fractured Low Permeability Gas Reservoir: A Case History

Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2008
The primary objective of hydraulic fracturing is to create a propped fracture with sufficient conductivity and length to amplify or at least optimize well performance of low permeability tight gas reservoir.

Interconnection, Obligation, Solar Power, and the Remaking of Energy Citizens on and off the Grid in California

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 2, Page 359-368, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Electricity grid infrastructures shape future publics and the contours of political belonging or exclusion, including citizenship. But in fire‐prone, more precariously grid‐connected regions in California, experiments with micro‐ and home nanogrids, subsidized by the state and built in many cases with Tesla products, provide new opportunities ...

Justice at Sea: Fishers’ politics and marine conservation in coastal Odisha, India [PDF]

, 2016
This is a paper about the politics of fishing rights in and around the Gahirmatha marine sanctuary in coastal Odisha, in eastern India. Claims to the resources of this sanctuary are politicised through the creation of a particularly damaging narrative by

High‐Throughput Screening of REBCO Superconducting Thin Films Fabricated Via Combinatorial Inkjet Printing and TLAG Process

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 9, 6 May 2026.
A methodological framework is presented for combinatorial REBCO thin films fabricated by drop‐on‐demand inkjet printing with controlled Rare Earth composition gradients. Automated, synchrotron‐based, and local characterization techniques produce comprehensive property maps that correlate composition and TLAG process parameters with superconducting ...

Catechol Derivative‐Based Bioadhesives: Molecular Design for Precision Medical Adhesion

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
This study utilizes tree‐inspired side‐chain engineering to graft five catechol derivatives onto PVA, systematically revealing how side‐chain length and substituents regulate adhesion and cohesion properties. Among them, the PVA‐CA patch demonstrates superior tissue adhesion, biocompatibility, and promotes regeneration, establishing a programmable ...
