The radial jet drilling (RJD) is a key technology to improve the development efficiency of low-permeability oil and gas resources.In order to seek a reasonable hydraulic engineering parameter combination of hydraulic radial jet drilling, to obtain the optimal hydraulic energy distribution, a jet radial horizontal drilling simulation experiment syst
High-Resolution Waveform Capture Device on a Cyclone-V FPGA
We here introduce the waveform capture device (WCD), a flexible measurement system capable of recording complex digital signals on trillionth-of-a-second (ps) time scales.The WCD is implemented via modular code on an off-the-shelf field-programmable gate-array (FPGA, Intel/Altera Cyclone V), and incorporates both time-to-digital converter (TDC) and
Diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases: from Averill A. Liebow to artificial intelligence
Histopathologic criteria of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP)/idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) were defined over the years and endorsed by leading organizations decades after Dr.Averill A.Liebow first coined the term UIP in the 1960s as a distinct pathologic pattern of fibrotic interstitial lung disease.Novel technology and recent research on i
Borrowing Constraints and the Marginal Propensity to Consume
Available evidence suggests that the average marginal propensity to consume (MPC) from the 2001 tax rebate in the US was not nearly as large as that from previous tax cuts.We examine if this phenomenon can be explained by the fact that the widespread use of credit cards has made borrowing accessible for most US households by constructing a model th
Identifying reliable indicators of fitness in polar bears.
Animal structural body size and condition are often measured to evaluate individual health, identify responses to environmental change and food availability, and relate food availability to effects on reproduction and survival.A variety of condition metrics have been developed but relationships between these metrics and vital rates are rarely valid
