A New Projection-Based Integrally Embedded Discrete Fracture Model and Its Application in Coupled Flow and Geomechanical Simulation for Fractured Reservoirs by Dawei Wu, Yuan Di, Yu-Shu Wu

“…Though the EDFM has been validated for single-phase flow simulations, some recent cases show that the EDFM might result in apparent errors in multiphase flow situations. The projection-based embedded discrete fracture model (pEDFM) and the integrally embedded discrete fracture model (IEDFM) are two recently developed methods, which intend to improve the accuracy of the EDFM. …”

The Persistence of Antibiotic Resistance in Observational Studies: Is It Really Due to Differences in Sub-Populations Rather than Antibiotic Use? by Peter Collignon, John J. Beggs

“…<b>Conclusions</b>: Antimicrobial stewardship policies and future research must directly address how much of the apparent persistence of resistant bacteria results from biological consequences of antibiotic use compared to pure statistical confounding arising due to heterogeneous risks in community infection patterns.…”

Decreasing viscosity and increasing accessible load by replacing classical diluents with a hydrotrope in liquid–liquid extraction by Asmae El Maangar, Thomas Zemb, Clément Fleury, Jean Duhamet, Jean-François Dufrêche, Stéphane Pellet-Rostaing

“…The gain in distribution coefficient by a factor of ten comes from the entropy of the solvent phase involved and is not linked to apparent complexation constants. In the case of anionic extractants, the Gibbs energy of transfer depends linearly on the ionic radii of the rare earth considered, which is not true with non-ionic extractants. …”

Population genetics of Glossina palpalis gambiensis in the sleeping sickness focus of Boffa (Guinea) before and after eight years of vector control: no effect of control despite a... by Kagbadouno, Moise S, Séré, Modou, Ségard, Adeline, Camara, Abdoulaye Dansy, Camara, Mamadou, Bucheton, Bruno, Bart, Jean-Mathieu, Courtin, Fabrice, De Meeûs, Thierry, Ravel, Sophie

“…In variance with a significant impact of VCC on the apparent densities of flies captured in the traps deployed, the global population of G. p. gambiensis displayed no variation of the sex-ratio, no genetic signature of control, and behaved as a very large population occupying the entire zone. …”

The N-terminus of the Clostridioides difficile transferase A component directs toxin activity and potency by Robin M. Mullard, Michael J. Sheedlo

“…The presence of a toxin known as the C. difficile Transferase (CDT) in some clinical isolates is linked to severe symptoms including increased incidence of reinfection and higher rates of mortality. Despite its apparent importance to C. difficile pathology, a mechanistic model of how CDT intoxicates cells remains incomplete. …”

Pulse-profile Modeling and Spin–Orbit Alignment in a Suzaku Sample of Accreting X-Ray Binary Pulsars by Silas G. T. Laycock, Rigel C. Cappallo, Pragati Pradhan, Dimitris M. Christodoulou, Biswajit Paul

“…The implications of our study are as follows: (a) apparently, accretion torques have had time to erase spin–orbit misalignment caused by supernova kicks in two-thirds of the systems; (b) many X-ray binary pulsars have dominant dipolar surface magnetic fields, in contrast to the recently reported exotic configurations in millisecond pulsars; and (c) if the binary inclinations can be determined by pulse-profile modeling, even for a subset of the ∼200 known X-ray binary pulsars, most of which orbital inclinations are as yet poorly constrained, it raises the prospect of tightening dramatically ongoing neutron-star mass determinations. …”
