An integrated analysis of fracture interference revealed that hydraulic fracture system damage was, most likely, due to stimulation fluid flooding, into depleted fracture systems around parent wells, resulting in a reduction in the effective fracture area. The team proposed a number of options to mitigate the impact of fracture interference, including refracturing the existing producing well wi...

This meta-analysis investigates the associations of statins use and fracture risk. Two reviewers independently searched six databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Ovid, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang databases. Studies retrieved from database searches were screened using our stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria. A sum of 17 studies, published bet...

In this paper, we consider some statistical aspects of inverse problems. using Bayesian analysis, particularly estimation and hypothesis-testing questions for parameterdependent differential equations. We relate Bayesian maximum likelihood Io Tikhonw regularization. and we apply the expectatian-minimization (F-M) algorithm to the problem of setting regularization levels. Further, we compare Bay...

Abstract. Recent inverse solutions obtained from some geoscience applications are presented. The estimation of the vertical atmospheric temperature from radiaces at infrared wavelenth is computed employing artificial neural networks, where good retrievals are obtained. A source-repector strategy is used for identifying the atmospheric pollutant source, where the Lagrangian particle model is app...

Modern area preserving projections employed by cartographers and geographers have closed forms when transitioning between the sphere and the plane. Inversions from the planar map to the spherical approximation of the Earth are slower, requiring iterative root finding approaches or entirely undetermined. Recent optimizations of the common Inverse Snyder Equal Area Polyhedral projection have been...

Modeling of crack propagation by a finite element method under mixed mode conditions is of prime importance in the fracture mechanics. This article describes an application of finite element method to the analysis of mixed mode crack growth in linear elastic fracture mechanics. Crack - growth process is simulated by an incremental crack-extension analysis based on the maximum principal stress c...

introduction: this in vitro study evaluated the influence of composite thickness (with or without fiber reinforcement) on fracture resistance of direct restorations in endodontically treated teeth. methods and materials: fifty-six intact human premolars were chosen and randomly divided into four groups ( n =14). after preparation of a mesio-occluso-distal (mod) cavities and cusp reduction, the ...

introduction: this study was conducted to determine the pattern of maxillofacial fractures in three age groups of adults, adolescents, and children, using ct scan images. methods: in this cross-sectional study, ct scan images of 230 patients with maxillofacial trauma during one year were examined in terms of the number and site of fractures. the patients were divided into three age groups, chil...

BACKGROUND Soy consumption has been shown to modulate bone turnover and increase bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. To our knowledge, no published studies have directly examined the association between soy consumption and risk of fracture. METHODS We examined the relationship between usual soy food consumption and fracture incidence in 24,403 postmenopausal women who had no history...

Bone fracture is a global healthcare issue for high rates of delayed healing and nonunions. Although n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) is considered as a beneficial factor for bone metabolism, only few studies till date focused on the effects of n-3 PUFAs on fracture healing. In this study, we investigated the effect of endogenous n-3 PUFAs on fracture healing by measuring femur fracture re...
