A Survey of Application of Mechanical Specific Energy in Petroleum and Space Drilling
Energies, 2022 The optimization of drilling operations is an ongoing necessity since the major proportion of the terrestrial hydrocarbon reservoirs has been exhausted. Furthermore, there is a growing tendency among the space exploration agencies to drill the subsurface

Binding energy and specificity in the catalytic mechanism of yeast aldose reductases [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1999 Derivatives of D-xylose and D-glucose, in which the hydroxy groups at C-5, and C-5 and C-6 were replaced by fluorine, hydrogen and azide, were synthesized and used as substrates of the NAD(P)H-dependent aldehyde reduction catalysed by aldose reductases isolated from the yeasts Candida tenuis, C. intermedia and Cryptococcus flavus.

Technology of Rock Destruction by Combined Explosion-Mechanical Load [PDF]
Наукові вісті Національного технічного університету України "Київський політехнічний інститут", 2017 Background. Rock drilling is characterized by an energy capacity of more than 120 kWh/m3. This is due to the fact that about 90 % of the energy is expended on the “preparation” of rocks for destruction.
