Ecological niche modeling of invasive alien plant species in a protected landscape by G.C.B. Paclibar, E.R. Tadiosa

“…Lastly, the MaxEnt model exemplifies that the most suitable predicted conditions for invasive alien plant species are at the edges of boundary and buffer zones. This study implies that most of the physicochemical factors are linked to the presence of invasive alien plant species and Quezon Protected Landscape has a low vulnerability to invasive alien plant species invasion.…”

A Semianalytical Model for Analyzing the Infill Well-Caused Fracture Interference from Shale Gas Reservoirs by Sidong Fang, Yonghui Wu, Cheng Dai, Liqiang Ma, Hua Liu

“…In this paper, a semianalytical model is proposed for this purpose by discretizing the whole control volume of the parent and infill wells into several linear flow zones. In this way, three important issues can be further handled very naturally, including fracture connection between the parent and infill wells, different SRV properties for zones with different distances to the wellbore, and different production times for adjacent wellbores. …”
