Stress Characteristics near Wellbore and Prevention Casing Deformation for Fracturing Horizontal Wells by Peng Zhang, Zhenghua Wu, Shuying Hu, Jikai Wei, Manlai Zhang, Zhengqin Ye, Chunsheng Pu, Jingyang Pu

“…A pumping pressure of 70 MPa fracturing is the safe pumping pressure for the reservoir casing. (3) It is found that the 90° and 270° horizontal fixed plane perforations can avoid the dangerous stress zone, increasing and decreasing the injection flow rate of the fracturing pump step by step (step pressure≤5 MPa) at the start and stop stages of fracturing; the control of the pump pressure during the whole process of fracturing is within 70 MPa, which can prevent the casing deformation.…”

Pulsed exposure mode of the 445 nm semiconductor laser in phonosurgery: an experimental study by M. A. Ryabova, L. B. Mitrofanova, M. Y. Ulupov, V. A. Stepanova, K. A. Sterkhova

“…The study presents the results of an experimental study devoted to the choice of the most optimal mode of pulsed contact laser exposure of semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 445 nm in phonosurgery, which implies maximum preservation of anatomically and functionally significant structures of the larynx combined with a radical approach to the pathological process. From the standpoint of the mucoundular theory of voice formation, wave-like oscillations of the vocal folds are possible due to the mobility of the cover layer of the vocal fold (epithelium, superficial layer of the lamina propria) relative to its body (deep layer of the lamina propria, vocal muscle). …”
