Simulation of reasonable shut-in time for shale oil after volume fracturing by LIAO Kai, ZHANG Shicheng, XIE Bobo

“…Based on the law of change in incremental oil volume, a reasonable shut-in time is identified to be between 30 to 45 days. ③ Considering real working conditions, “fracturing & well shut-in time” is proposed as an indicator for optimizing well shut-in, which aims to improve time efficiency and reduce differences between wells. This paper proposes an evaluation method and simulation workflow for assessing the well shut-in effects of volume fractured horizontal wells, offering valuable guidance in optimizing the reasonable shut-in time for shale oil fractured wells.…”

Corn‐fermented protein as a replacement for fish meal in diets for Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, parr: Growth, feed utilization, antioxidant activity, non‐specific immune response,... by Jeongwhui Hong, Jose G. Ortiz, Brian C. Small

“…At the end of the 12‐week feeding trial, the final weight, weight gain, and survival of fish did not significantly differ between treatment groups. However, in fish fed CFP100, both the feed conversion ratio (FCR) and the protein efficiency ratio (PER) exhibited significant differences in comparison with those of fish fed other treatments, with FCR being significantly higher and PER being significantly lower. …”

Systematic review on the cost of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) by Anika Ruisch, Miranda Iodice, Ishani Mathur, Sara Harris, Damian G. Walker, Richmond Owusu, Justice Nonvignon, Colin Gilmartin

“…Four studies included a cost effectiveness analysis with incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) per clinical malaria case averted ranging from $5.41 to $138.03; ICER per disability-adjusted life year (DALY) averted from $24.51 to $182.88; and ICER per death averted from $688.86 to $18,418.81. Differences in cost estimates stemmed from different factors including variations in cost ingredients, scale of the intervention, and study perspectives. …”

Analysis of Factors Affecting the Spatial Association Network of Food Security Level in China by Chuansong Zhao, Chunxia Li, Jianxu Liu, Haixia Lian, Woraphon Yamaka

“…Recently, the western region has shown accelerated improvements in food security, followed by the central area, with the eastern region maintaining steady growth. (2) A structurally robust spatial correlation network of food security has emerged, characterized by variations in the number of network relationships, fluctuations in network density, and a decline in network efficiency while still exhibiting pronounced small-world characteristics. (3) The network displays a clear core-periphery structure, with Shanghai, Beijing, and Jiangsu positioned centrally, playing pivotal intermediary roles, whereas remote provinces such as Gansu, Ningxia, and Liaoning occupy the periphery. (4) The four major regions demonstrate sparse internal connectivity yet robust inter-regional ties, resulting in pronounced spillover effects. (5) Various factors, including geographic distance, provincial proximity, disparities in economic development levels, variations in marketization, differences in agricultural human capital, and disparities in land productivity, significantly impact the establishment of spatial correlations in food security. …”

Progress in completion technology of deep coalbed methane development wells in Qinshui Basin by Penglei SHEN, Shuaifeng LYU, Jianping BAI, Guofu LI, Yanqing YANG, Zhangkai XIONG

“…The results show that the conventional single-casing completion technology is mature, and the three-way completion structure is widely used, but it is not conducive to cost reduction and efficiency increase. The second well completion structure is only applicable to the geological conditions where the overlying strata is relatively stable and there is no aquifer or weak aquifer. …”
