Experimental Study of Confining Pressure-Induced Fracture Network for Shale Gas Reservoir Under Triaxial Compression Conditions by Jinxuan Han, Ming Gao, Yubo Wu, Ali Raza, Pei He, Jianhui Li, Yanjun Lu, Manping Yang, Hongjian Zhu

“…We suggest that the bedding plane gap compression, radial deformation limitation, and interlayer effect weakening are efficient mechanisms for the formation of shale fracture networks induced by confining pressure, and that confining pressure plays a significant role in limiting and weakening the development of shale fractures, based on the quantitative characterization results of fractures.…”

Quantifying Tree Structural Change in an African Savanna by Utilizing Multi-Temporal TLS Data by Tasiyiwa Priscilla Muumbe, Jussi Baade, Pasi Raumonen, Corli Coetsee, Jenia Singh, Christiane Schmullius

“…Given this complexity, it is essential to monitor and quantify woody structural changes in savannas efficiently. We implemented a non-destructive approach based on Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and Quantitative Structure Models (QSMs) that offers the unique advantage of investigating changes in complex tree parameters, such as volume and branch length parameters that have not been previously reported for savanna trees. …”

An Analysis of the Ventilation Efficiency of Various Configurations of Inlet and Outlet Vents in a Residential Building by CFD Simulation by Daeung Danny Kim, Hyejin Kim, Woong Seog Yim, Taesub Lim

“…Residential buildings in South Korea have equipped an energy recovery ventilation (ERV) system to improve energy efficiency as well as dilute indoor air pollution. While most studies have focused on the efficiency of energy exchange or the ventilation performance of the ERV itself, the ventilation performance can be improved by the proper location of inlet and outlet vents. …”
