The semi-wild mariculture of Caribbean King Crab (Maguimithrax spinosissimus) for coral reef restoration by Samantha Glover, Mark J. Butler, IV

“…We examined whether this bottleneck could be alleviated by the semi-wild mariculture of the Caribbean King Crab (MaguiMithrax spinosissimus)in saltwater quarries for subsequent use in coral reef restoration in the Florida Keys, Florida (USA).We surveyed the physico-chemical characteristics of 16 saltwater quarries in the Florida Keys relative to conditions in the wild and, in four quarries where crabs occurred, we examined crab population dynamics in comparison to that in the wild. Water chemistry and the availability of food (macroalgae) and crevice shelters were suitable for crab mariculture down to depths of at least 6 m. …”

Mechanism of Hydraulic Fracturing Cutting Hard Basic Roof to Prevent Rockburst by Jianqiao Luo, Shaohong Yan, Tuo Yang, Haoqi Mu, Wensheng Wei, Yupeng Shen, Hongtao Mu

“…Due to the rockburst occurrence mechanism and the quantitatively elastic strain energy analytical formula, a preconditioning water jet cutting induced fracture surface to create orientation-controllable hydraulic fracture strategy is proposed to guard against the high hazard caused by the massive elastic strain energy, which accumulated in the coal body in front of the working face and coal pillar.…”

Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Basic Law of Dense Linear Multihole Directional Hydraulic Fracturing by Xin Zhang, Yuqi Zhang

“…Secondly, due to the effect of pore water pressure, the disturbed stress zone appears at the tip of the hydraulic fracture, and the stress concentration zone overlaps with each other to form the stress guiding strip, which controls the propagation and formation of directional hydraulic fractures. (4) The angle between the drilling line and the direction of the maximum principal stress, the in situ stress, and the hole spacing has significant effects on the directional hydraulic fracturing effect. …”
