Mechanical-Chemical-Mineralogical Controls on Permeability Evolution of Shale Fractures by Yunzhong Jia, Yiyu Lu, Jiren Tang, Yi Fang, Binwei Xia, Zhaolong Ge

“…The experimental observations imply that (1) CO2-rich aqueous fluids have significant impact on the evolution of fracture permeability and may influence (and increase) shale gas production; (2) shale mineralogy, especially calcite mineral, decides the chemical reaction and permeability increasing when CO2-rich aqueous fluids flow through fractures by free-face dissolution effect; (3) clay mineral swelling reduces fracture aperture and additively calcite pressure solution removes the bridging asperities, which are the main reasons for fracture permeability decrease; (4) competition roles among clay mineral swelling, mineral pressure solution, and free-face dissolution determine how fracture permeability changes. …”

Understanding stakeholder views of the use of digital therapeutic interventions within children and young people’s mental health services by Brioney Gee, Brioney Gee, Tim Clarke, Tim Clarke, Jess Garner, Bonnie Teague, Bonnie Teague, Georgianna Coote, Aoife Dunne, Rachel McGuire, Andrew Laphan, Manjul Rathee, Jon Wilson, Jon Wilson

“…Study 2 involved eight focus groups with children and young people’s clinicians, service managers, commissioners, and policy leads (n=28), exploring participants’ views and experiences of implementing and sustaining digital therapeutic interventions. Study 3 was a consensus exercise which aimed to identify actions needed to bridge the gap between the development and use of digital therapeutic interventions for children and young people’s mental health through focus groups with parents/carers and professionals (n=17), and three Delphi-survey rounds.ResultsOur findings revealed considerable enthusiasm for the increased use of digital mental health interventions for children and young people across stakeholder groups, but also identified key barriers to their implementation. …”
