Development characteristics and potential of fault-fracture reservoir in southwest margin of Ordos Basin by HE Faqi, LI Junlu, GAO Yilong, WU Jinwei, BAI Xingying, GAO Dun

“…The induced fracture zone's proximity to the fault correlates with higher production capacity, demonstrating the spatial impact of fault structures on reservoir productivity. 3） The production characteristics of fracture wells are categorized into three stages: ① the fracture system acts as the high yield stage; ② the fracture system serves as the storage stage and plays the role of diversion; ③ the fracture's primarily function in diversion. This research significantly increases the proportion of high-yield wells in the fault-fracture reservoir, providing crucial insights for guiding efficient, ongoing exploration and development activities in the Mesozoic reservoirs on the southwest margin of the basin. …”

MCL-SWT: Mirror Contrastive Learning with Sliding Window Transformer for Subject-Independent EEG Recognition by Qi Mao, Hongke Zhu, Wenyao Yan, Yu Zhao, Xinhong Hei, Jing Luo

“…Inspired by left/right hand motor imagery inducing event-related desynchronization (ERD) in the contralateral sensorimotor cortex, we develop a mirror contrastive loss function. It segregates feature spaces of EEG signals from contralateral ERD locations while curtailing variability in signals sharing similar ERD locations. …”

Signatures of Rapidly Rotating Stars with Chemically Homogeneous Evolution in the First Galaxies by Boyuan Liu, Yves Sibony, Georges Meynet, Volker Bromm

“…We find that the rest-frame UV luminosity of star-forming galaxies can be significantly enhanced by a factor of  ∼3−6 when CHE stars above a minimum initial mass of ${m}_{\star ,\min }^{\mathrm{CHE}}\sim 2-10\,{M}_{\odot }$ account for more than half of the total stellar mass following a Salpeter initial mass function. As a result, the UV luminosity functions observed at z  ∼ 12−16 can be reproduced with less extreme values of star formation efficiency and UV luminosity stochastic variability. …”
