A new species of Lentibulariaceae, Pinguicula brendae Rodríguez‐Ramírez, H.Shimai & A.R. Andrés‐Hernández, is described based on its unique morphological characteristics. This species is restricted to limestone rock walls in the San Bartolo Tutotepec municipality, central‐eastern Hidalgo, Mexico, where it inhabits a single locality on vertical, north ...

Permafrost Distribution in the Canadian Rockies: Key Variables Influencing Patch‐Scale Variability
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of permafrost in mountainous regions is influenced by various factors such as topography, climate, vegetation, and substrate. Despite the existence of comprehensive permafrost maps at national and global levels, they fail to accurately represent the patch‐scale (e.g., < 25 m) permafrost distribution in characteristic ...

Experimental study on the long-term conductivity of self-support fracture in deep shale reservoirs
Reservoir modification fracturing technology is one of the key technologies for the effective development of deep shale gas reservoirs. But the low initial production and fast decreasing after fracturing deep shale gas wells restrict the efficient ...

ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

Rock Breaking Simulation and Optimization of PDC Bit for Jimsar Shale Formation
Conventional planar-cutter PDC bit exhibits prominent problems in drilling, such as severe wear, frequent cutter breakage and short footage, resulting in low drilling efficiency and high cost. To improve the drilling speed and reduce the drilling cost in

Who gets redeployed? Inventor characteristics and resource redeployment decisions
Abstract Research Summary While the literature highlights the benefits of internally redeploying resources, there is less empirical guidance on which resources are most likely to be redeployed. We examine the relationship between inventor characteristics and redeployment decisions, motivated by the tension between costs and benefits of keeping a ...

Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracture propagation after thermal shock in shale reservoir
The scale of propagation of hydraulic fractures in deep shale is closely related to the effect of stimulation. In general, the most common means of revealing hydraulic fracture propagation rules are laboratory hydraulic fracture physical simulation ...

Forgoing Nuclear: Nuclear Power Plant Closures and Carbon Emissions in the United States
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of nuclear power plant decommissioning on electricity generation and carbon emissions in the United States. Using data on nuclear reactor closures in the United States between 1993 and 2022 and data on state‐level carbon emissions and electricity generation from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), this ...
