Introduction risk of fire ants through container cargo in ports: Data integration approach considering a logistic network. by Shota Homma, Daisuke Murakami, Shinya Hosokawa, Koji Kanefuji

“…Spatial statistical models have been used to address the lack of information by considering the observations of neighbors or integrating multiple data sources based on the assumption of spatial correlation. Unlike natural dispersal, methods to address these issues have not yet been established, because the spatial correlation between ports based on the geographical distance is not assumed for human-mediated species introduction through container cargo. …”

A Model for a Multistage Fractured Horizontal Well with Rectangular SRV in a Shale Gas Reservoir by Jianfa Wu, Jian Zhang, Cheng Chang, Weiyang Xie, Tianpeng Wu

“…Although the SRV scale and its permeability are very important for early and intermediate production rates, the key factors restricting the shale gas production rate are the properties of the shale itself, such as adsorbed gas content, natural fractures, and organic content. The proposed model is useful for analyzing production dynamics with stimulated horizontal wells in shale gas reservoirs.…”
