Thermal evolution trend of aromatic hydrocarbons in shales from Permian Dalong Formation in Sichuan Basin and its significance in thermal maturity

open access: yesShiyou shiyan dizhi
The Paleozoic marine shales in southern China hold great significance for hydrocarbon exploration. However, the lack of organic matter (vitrinite) derived from higher plants in marine sediments leads to considerable uncertainties in maturity assessment ...

Evaluating water-induced wellbore instability in shale formations: a comparative analysis of transversely isotropic strength criteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
This study addresses wellbore instability in shale formations by conducting mechanical experiments on bedded shale samples with varying hydration times. We fitted experimental data using two anisotropic strength criteria to determine the shale’s strength

Understanding the effects of patch‐burn grazing management on aboveground grassland invertebrate biodiversity

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

Students’ Experiences of Teachers’ Ways of Unpacking Visual Representations in the Context of Intermolecular Forces

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This is the third article in a series, emanating from a project that used social semiotics and phenomenography to explore the role visual representations play in the teaching and learning of chemistry. Building on our earlier work that identified five qualitatively different ways that teachers may use to unpack visual representations in their ...

Social Sustainability in Chemical Engineering: Concepts, Methodologies, Challenges, and Integration Strategies

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical engineering faces an increasing imperative to integrate sustainability principles beyond traditional economic and environmental considerations. The social dimension—encompassing impacts on human well‐being, equity, community health, labor practices, and ethical governance—represents a critical yet often underdeveloped pillar within ...
