The impact of forced closure on proppant distribution of hydraulic fracturing in shale formations

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Research findings demonstrate that implementing forced closure within shale formations can remarkably mitigate proppant settlement, concurrently increasing the effective propped surface area from 29.74% to 38.68%. Abstract Forced closure is widely used in conventional oil and gas reservoirs to promote uniform proppant placement.

Relativistic Hall Effect

open access: yes, 2012
We consider the relativistic deformation of quantum waves and mechanical bodies carrying intrinsic angular momentum (AM). When observed in a moving reference frame, the centroid of the object undergoes an AM-dependent transverse shift.

CoBe -- Coded Beacons for Localization, Object Tracking, and SLAM Augmentation

open access: yes, 2020
This paper presents a novel beacon light coding protocol, which enables fast and accurate identification of the beacons in an image. The protocol is provably robust to a predefined set of detection and decoding errors, and does not require any ...

Deep network for rolling shutter rectification

open access: yes, 2021
CMOS sensors employ row-wise acquisition mechanism while imaging a scene, which can result in undesired motion artifacts known as rolling shutter (RS) distortions in the captured image. Existing single image RS rectification methods attempt to account for these distortions by either using algorithms tailored for specific class of scenes which warrants ...

Bottlenecks‐Breaking in Zinc‐Iodine Batteries Toward Practical Implementation: A Review and Perspective

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Aqueous zinc–iodine batteries (Zn–I2Bs) offer promise for grid storage due to safety and cost advantages yet face critical bottlenecks: severe self‐discharge (polyiodide shuttling and HER), limited energy density, sluggish kinetics, and zinc anode instability.

Structure and motion estimation from rolling shutter video [PDF]

open access: yes2011 IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision Workshops (ICCV Workshops), 2011
The majority of consumer quality cameras sold today have CMOS sensors with rolling shutters. In a rolling-shutter camera, images are read out row by row, and thus each row is exposed during a different time interval. A rolling-shutter exposure causes geometric image distortions when either the camera or the scene is moving, and this causes state-of-the-

Holding out on restructuring negotiations: A legal analysis over Finnish and Swedish legislation

open access: yesInternational Insolvency Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how Finnish and Swedish restructuring laws create opportunities for creditors to hold out on restructuring negotiations. Using Anthony Casey's new bargaining theory and the traditional creditors' bargain model as analytical frames, the study argues that holdouts arise when ex ante rights – particularly security interests,
