Quantifying the fitness advantage of polymerase substitutions in Influenza A/H7N9 viruses during adaptation to humans. by Judith M Fonville, David F Burke, Nicola S Lewis, Leah C Katzelnick, Colin A Russell

“…The recently emerged A/H7N9 influenza viruses in China provide an opportunity for quantitative studies of host-adaptation, as human-adaptive substitutions in the PB2 gene of the virus have been found in all sequenced human strains, while these substitutions have not been detected in any non-human A/H7N9 sequences. Given the currently available information, this observation suggests that the human-adaptive PB2 substitution might confer a fitness advantage to the virus in these human hosts that allows it to rise to proportions detectable by consensus sequencing over the course of a single human infection. …”

Joint Operation Technology of Directional Bridge Plug and Perforation for Horizontal Wells Based on Inclination Angle Detector by TANG Ke, FANG Ming

“…In the construction of directional bridge plug and perforation joint operation, when the perforating gun is pumped to the horizontal section of the well, the orientation of the perforating bullet’s firing port cannot be detected by the existing technical means. By developing a inclination angle detector and a fully integrated directional perforation device, integrating the selection control chip and three-axis acceleration sensor functions, the control circuit is designed to achieve the initiation control of cluster perforation, measure the direction of perforation projectile in real time and upload it to the ground selection control system. …”
