Investment Allocation Method for Distribution Networks Based on a Panel Data Model and an Incentive–Penalty Mechanism by Jian Zhang, Jianzhou Wen, Zhen Lu, Jiang Qian, Ning Wei

“…The case study showed the following points. (1) The differences among the distribution networks were significant and, thus, the fixed effects model could be employed to effectively compute the investment scale. (2) Given the differences in the construction and investment productivity of various distribution networks, the proposed method to calculate the complete investment productivity could be used to adjust the allocation of the investment amount and achieve an optimal allocation of funds. …”

Transportation patterns of drilling cuttings and application using the internal row drilling cuttings method in rockburst mines by LU Fangqing, CUI Lei, PAN Ji'an, GAO Xuepeng, PAN Yishan

“…Laboratory experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of drilling cuttings collection by the internal discharge drilling cuttings method. Results indicate that 1) Higher pressure differences lead to faster transportation of drilling cuttings; 2) Under the same negative pressure and drilling speed, the cross-sectional size of the fluid hole at the end of the drilling tool is directly proportional to the efficiency of drilling cuttings transportation under negative pressure; 3) Increasing the number of fluid holes could promote the efficiency of drilling cuttings transportation under negative pressure; 4) When the fluid hole is tilted 30 degrees towards the drill bit, it exhibits the optimal transportation performance of drill cuttings under negative pressure.…”
