A New Method for Deriving the Nightside Thermospheric Density Based on GUVI Dayside Limb Observations by Tingting Yu, Zhipeng Ren, You Yu, Weixing Wan

“…Higher correlation coefficients and smaller relative standard errors between CHAMP observations and the NEM results are obtained than those between CHAMP observations and the EM results, and the NEM results are in good agreement with the CHAMP observations in time series during both daytime and nighttime, which all prove the NEM method is effective to the reproduction and extension of GUVI original dayside observations. …”

Fluctuations in mHealth engagement following receipt of goal-discrepant feedback messages by Lex Hurley, Nisha G O’Shea, Brooke T Nezami, Carmina G Valle, Deborah F Tate

“…Objective Digital behavior change interventions can successfully promote change in behavioral outcomes, but often suffer from steep decreases in engagement over time, which hampers their effectiveness. Providing feedback on goal performance is an established technique to promote goal attainment; however, theory indicates that sending goal-discrepant feedback messages could cause some users to respond more negatively than others. …”

Numerical Simulations of Fracture Propagation in Jointed Shale Reservoirs under CO2 Fracturing by Qi Zhang, Dan Ma, Jiangfeng Liu, Jiehao Wang, Xibing Li, Zilong Zhou

“…The preexisting joints can aggravate the damage of the numerical specimens; the seepage areas of the layered jointed sample, vertical jointed sample, and orthogonal jointed sample are increased by 32.5%, 29.16%, and 35.05%, respectively, at time t=39 s compared with the intact sample. The preexisting horizontal joints or vertical joints promote the propagation of hydraulic fractures in the horizontal direction or vertical direction but restrain the expansion of hydraulic fractures in the vertical or horizontal direction.…”
