Physical simulation study on the transport of biomimetics dandelion proppant in similar coalbed methane fracture network by Jun LI, Pingli LIU, Nianyin LI

“…Thus, the author proposes a biomimetic dandelion proppant with efficient transport and steering capabilities in low-viscosity fracturing fluids. To further understand this proppant's transport and steering performance in deep coal seam fractures under different construction parameters, this study constructs a T-shaped visualized complex fracture proppant transport experimental system based on common T-shaped fractures in deep coal seams. …”

THE DIAGNOSIS TECHNIQUE OF ABNORMAL HEATING OF POWER CAPACITORS by D. I. Zalizny

“…It is also necessary to calculate the rate of change of ΔΘ1° and to consider the values obtained in the formation of hazard levels. For the low level and the average level of hazard the operation of diagnostic system with a visual signal is recommended, while for the high level of hazard it is recommended to use both visual and sound signals, and for the very high hazard level the capacitor ought to be turned off from the source. …”

Effects of multisensory simultaneity judgment training on the comprehension and cortical processing of speech in noise: a randomized controlled trial by Ansley J. Kunnath, Hannah S. Bertisch, Andrew S. Kim, René H. Gifford, Mark T. Wallace

“…Individual differences in responses to training were found to be related to differences in cortical speech processing using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Low audiovisual-evoked activity in the left middle temporal gyrus (R2 = 0.87; p = 0.006), left angular and superior temporal gyrus (R2 = 0.85; p = 0.006), and visual cortices (R2 = 0.74; p = 0.041) was associated with larger improvements in auditory word recognition after training. …”
