Lithospheric Conductivity Structure in the Middle Segment of the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt: Insights into Neoproterozoic Tectonic–Magmatic Processes
Authors: Yan Jiayong , Chen Hui , Deng Juzhi , Yu Hui , You Yuexin , Wen Yidan , Feng Min 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The Jiangnan Orogenic Belt (JOB) evolved from the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks through multi-stage oceanic-continental subduction, collisional orogeny, and intracontinental deformation, which is an important region to study the formation and evolution of the South China Continent (SCC). Magnetotelluric soundings were collected along a 520-km-long northwest (NW)-trending profile across the middle segment of the JOB to explore the possible remnants of ancient tectonic–magmatic processes beneath the central SCC by combining with the satellite gravity and magnetic data. The resistivity model reveals that the crust in the middle segment of the JOB and its adjacent area is characterized by high resistivity anomalies, while the uppermost mantle is characterized as medium resistivity anomalies and separated by several subvertical, lithospheric-scale conductors. Two trans-crust anomalies of high conductivity and low density beneath the Jiujiang–Shitai Buried fault (JSBF) and Jiangshan–Shaoxing fault (JSF) extend south-eastward to the lithosphere, which are attributed to the NW and southeast boundaries of the middle segment of the JOB. The imaged NW-trending of JSF reflects the tectonic process of the JOB subducting under the Cathaysia Block. Two lower-crustal conductors also imaged beneath the Jiuling area are interpreted as the partial melting of the lower crust, which may be related to the deep southeast subduction of the Paleo-south China Ocean during 970 to 860 Ma. In addition, the trans-lithosphere high conductivity adjacent to the ancient collisional zone of the Jinning period II (ACZII) is probably related to the asthenosphere upwelling caused by the soft collision between the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks, which triggered the contemporaneous magmatism in the Jiuling area. This work provides a new insight into the lithospheric evolution in SCC during the Neoproterozoic.
Artificial Lift: 25 Years of Change Tracked in the Pages of JPT
Authors: Presley Jennifer 
Published: March 2024

Nodding donkeys. Thirsty birds. Rocking horses. All are playful nicknames for the oil and gas icon known as a pumpjack.
To the uninformed, the pumpjack is a thing-a-ma-jig that has something to do with oil, probably “fracking” because that’s what drilling rigs do, right?
But as an industry-educated and well-informed reader of JPT, you know this is inaccurate.
By whatever name you call it, you know that the pumpjack is the visible manifestation of an invisible physics equation, a mechanism buried deep underground that lifts reservoir fluids to the surface. You also know it is one type of artificial lift available in a stable of systems with equally curious and technical names like progressive cavity, plunger, jet, gas lift, and electrical submersible pump (ESP).
While there is no global repository of artificial lift statistics, industry observers estimate that 90 to 95% of the world’s producing wells use artificial lift, as noted in a 2013 JPT story on the challenges and opportunities for artificial lift.
Artificial lift, as applied in oil and gas production, has existed for over 100 years. A 2014 JPT story laid out a brief history of the practice, sharing how the walking beam principle dates back to at least 476 CE when used in Egypt, and evidence of the use of sucker rods to lift fluids has been excavated from the homes of wealthier families in the early days of the Roman Empire.
Even as we leap forward to the modern-day application of artificial lift systems, many techniques and technologies resemble their original designs. How these systems are applied has changed, especially in the past decade-plus with the emergence of shale.
As highlighted in a JPT story on the past 25 years of technology advances, the industry underwent a robust era of technology development in its rush to crack the shale development riddle. Since 1999, the industry also delivered a 36% increase in global supplies, as noted in this JPT story celebrating this industry’s biggest innovations.
1999 represents an interesting turning point in the industry’s technological journey. Also, it is the last time JPT editors took the opportunity to celebrate the publication as it turned 50 years old that year.
What follows are a few highlights from JPT’s coverage of advances and changes made in artificial lift applications and practices over the past quarter century.
Experts Give Career Advice for Future Artificial Lift Professionals: “Do Not be Scared to Try Something Different”

Knowing where to start can be daunting for those new to the oil and gas industry. With all the changes the artificial lift sector has experienced in the past 25 years, the constant is that a new challenge always needs a solution.
The spirit of innovation and invention will serve the next generation of artificial lift professionals well. Here are a few nuggets of advice from experts to help newcomers navigate this dynamic sector while also making a difference in the energy world.

Greg Stephenson, chief production engineer, Occidental Petroleum
My advice is to go for it! While ours is a notoriously cyclical industry, artificial lift professional tend to enjoy greater job security than many of their counterparts. Also, ae get to experiment with new technologies and can often see immediate results from our efforts. I advise any young professional to do what you love and love what you do. If you follow that credo, you can’t go wrong. I feel very fortunate to work in a field that I love.

Michael Romer, principal artificial lift engineer, ExxonMobil
Network, go to artificial lift events to learn from SPE and others. Artificial lift is a small world. You’ll keep seeing the same people in other roles and places. Get to the field, into the shop, and figure out the challenges firsthand, as not all problems can be solved digitally or won’t tell the entire story.
Current lift methods have been around for more than 100 years and will continue. The more things change, the more they stay the same; there’s a long history of learning from industry. Someone may have already solved the problem, and the answer may already exist. Or someone could have tried something you’re considering, and it didn’t work.
Artificial lift is a great place to be, with lots of variety. It’s important but not nearly as ‘right now’ as drilling; you can quickly see results, and the costs/risks are generally lower for trying new things. Figure out what you have passion for and own it because others will notice.
Study Outlines Challenges of Repurposing Oil and Gas Wells for Geothermal Applications

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 215751, “Challenges for Repurposing Oil and Gas Wells for Geothermal Applications,” by Livio Santos, SPE, and Arash Dahi Taleghani, SPE, The Pennsylvania State University. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

_
This work provides insights into the technical and economic viability of repurposing oil and gas wells for geothermal energy production for direct heating. The potential benefits—especially for areas that are highly dependent on fossil fuels for heating—and challenges of this approach are assessed, while technical, market, and policy barriers for future development are identified. Repurposing oil and gas wells for geothermal energy requires a multidisciplinary approach that involves expertise in geology, engineering, and regulatory affairs.

Introduction
Repurposing abandoned wells for power generation in geothermal energy projects can present challenges because of the low temperatures associated with these wells. The low temperature gradients and thermal energy available in such wells have been found to limit overall power-generation potential. The same low-temperature geothermal resources can still be used effectively, however, for community heating applications. Community heating systems have lower temperature requirements compared with those necessary for power generation and are compatible with available heat from low-temperature geothermal sources.
In particular, closed-loop geothermal systems, specifically designed for community heating, offer several advantageous features. The closed-loop design ensures that the fluid remains contained within the system. These systems are environmentally compatible because they do not extract or discharge water from natural sources. Additionally, with better control over the working fluid and heat-exchange process, closed-loop systems deliver optimized system performance, energy efficiency, and cost savings. They also require less maintenance and feature lower operational risks because of the closed circuit. Closed-loop systems offer fluid-selection flexibility and streamlined regulatory compliance.
Not all abandoned wells are suitable for repurposing, however. Thorough feasibility assessments and well-integrity evaluations are necessary to ensure that the abandoned well is structurally sound, has the appropriate depth and geological characteristics, and can extract geothermal heat effectively. The condition of the well casing, cementing, and any potential wellbore damage also must be evaluated. An economic analysis is performed to assess the financial viability and cost-effectiveness of the geothermal community heating system. Finally, an environmental impact assessment evaluates the environmental consequences of the geothermal community heating system.
On Rough I–αβ–Statistical Convergence of Order γ in Intuitionistic Fuzzy Normed Spaces
Authors: Khan Vakeel A. , Rahaman SK Ashadul , Hazarika Bipan 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The concept of “αβ–statistical convergence of order γ” was developed by Aktug˘lu [1]. In this research article, we introduced the notion of “rough I–αβ–statistical convergence order γ” in the setting of intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces. We find that the limit of this novel convergence is a set rather than a unique point. The study proves that the limit set is convex and closed with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy norm. Moreover, we propose the notion of Ir– stγαβ –cluster points and establish the connections between the set of such cluster points and limit set of the above–mentioned convergence.

Abstract
In this article, we have aimed to construct a non-trivial fundamental group of soft homotopy classes and find out its applications. To achieve this, firstly we have defined soft exponential mappings, a soft lift of a soft continuous mapping, and studied their important behaviors. Moreover, path lifting property, homotopy lifting property, etc., and their relationship in soft set setting are discussed. Finally, we have constructed the fundamental group of soft homotopy classes of unit circle $\mathbb{S}^1.$

Facilitators and barriers in Academic-Practice Partnerships (APPs) between Approved Educational Institutions (AEIs) and Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs) during pre-registration nursing students’ placements: A scoping review protocol.
Authors: Chivaura Ashley , Wilson Iseult , Rainey Deborah , Wong Amy 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Background
Effective Academic-Practice Partnerships (APPs) between Approved Educational Institutions (AEIs) and practice learning partners are essential for enhancing the integration of the theoretical and practical aspects of nursing education. Recent literature regarding nursing student placements in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) highlights the significance of these partnerships, and a need to explore the dynamic partnerships between AEIs and RACFs to better understand their role in improving student experiences and learning outcomes. Despite the recognition of the significance of understanding these APPs, this remains a significant gap in the existing literature.
Methods:
We will conduct a scoping review to identify facilitators and barriers to maintaining productive APPs between AEI and RACFs during pre-registration nursing student placements. Our research will involve an electronic literature search within: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and ERIC. Two independent reviewers will screen eligible papers, and a third reviewer will resolve any conflicts based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eligible studies must have been published after 1990, and they should specifically address collaborative efforts between AEIs and RACFs in the context of pre-registration nursing student placements in RACFs.
Discussion:
This scoping review addresses a gap in the literature by exploring the factors that influence APPs in the context of RACF placements. The findings from this review have the potential to guide improvements in pre-registration nursing education by supporting collaborative relationships between AEI and RACFs to enrich how nursing students experience their RACF placements. The review will also empower both clinical and academic educators by giving them a good understanding of what facilitates and hinders collaboration which will empower them to nurture more effective collaborations which would improve their shared capacity to support students. Strengthening the partnerships between AEIs and RACFs can foster a shared vision and enhance the quality of pre-registration nursing education, which can improve the standard of care for RACF residents.
Black Soldier Fly Larvae Mitigate Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Domestic Biodegradable Waste through Carbon-Nitrogen Redistribution and Microbial Reconstruction
Authors: Xiang FangMing , Han LuYing , Jiang ShuoYun , Xu Xinhua , Zhang Zhijian 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) have been proven to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the treatment of organic waste (e.g., domestic biodegradable waste, DBW). However, the microbial mechanisms involved have not been fully understood. The current study mainly examined the dynamic changes of carbon and nitrogen, greenhouse gas emissions, the succession of microbial community structure, and changes in gene abundance in DBW under BSFL treatment (LT) and non-aeration composting (NC). We found that of the organic waste supplied, 29.9% carbon and 55.0% nitrogen were stored in BSFL. For every 1kg of dry matter of organic waste consumed, 655 g CO2, 0.80 mg CH4, and 2.26 mg N2O were emitted from LT, significantly lower than those from NC. 16S rRNA gene sequencing results showed that the BSFL increased the relative abundance of Methanophaga, Marinobacter, and Campylobacter during the bioprocess, enhancing the consumption of CH4 and N2O. The metagenomic data showed that the BSFL reduced the ratio of (nirK + nirS + nor)/nosZ in the residues, thereby reducing the emission of N2O. In addition, it increased the functional gene abundance of nirA, nirB, nirD, and nrfA, making nitrite more inclined to be reduced to ammonia. The BSFL mitigated greenhouse gas emissions by redistributing carbon and nitrogen and remodeling the community and function of microbiomes during the DBW bioconversion.
Alpha-boswellic acid accelerates acute wound healing via NF-κB signaling pathway
Authors: Dong Fang , Zheng Lijuan , Zhang Xuanfen 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Boswellic acids (BAs) showed promising effects in cancer treatment, immune response regulation, and anti-inflammatory therapy. We aimed to assess the roles of alpha-BA (α-BA) in treating acute wound healing. ELISA assay results indicated that α-BA treatment reduced the production of inflammatory cytokines and increased the protein levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF). Cell function experiments demonstrated that α-BA suppressed the proliferation and migration ability of human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFBs), thereby favoring wound healing. Additionally, α-BA exerted a significantimpact on cell cycle progression. Mechanistically, the protein levels of key genes in nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB) signaling pathway, including cyclin D1, p65, IκBα, and p-IκBα, were downregulated by α-BA. Animal models further indicated that wound healing was notably accelerated in the α-BA group compared to the control group (P < 0.01). These findings suggest the potential of α-BA for development as a new agent for treating acute wound healing.
Case study on sprite and lightning activities associated with the cell life cycle in a mesoscale convective system
Authors: Hou Hsun-Ya , kuo chengling , Hsu Rue-Ron , Chang Wei-Yu , Lee Lou-Chuang 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
A line of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) accompanied by hails with strong updraft may produces favorable weather conditions for high flash rates and sprite occurrences. On 18–20 May, 2018, we observed a total of 287 transient luminous events (TLEs) in the Taiwan campaign. After analyzing flashes from Earth Networks Total Lightning Network (ENTLN), the observation region has a maximum CG flash rate 115.1 min-1 (95.1 min-1 for –CGs and 20.0 min-1 for + CG) within a single cell of MCSs on May 20 within a radius 55 km. We investigated the TLEs activity associated with the multi-cells in the MCS, and found that sudden increases of TLEs are associated with the merging stage of new and old cells and the dissipating stage of cell. The flashes associated with TLEs with halo emissions have a tendency of large peak current. The TLEs with their parent flashes and extremely high peak currents (200, 244, 261, 267, 311, 357 kA) were shown, and most of events have common optical features of sprite halos and clusters of sprites structures.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the effectof the admixtures of graphene oxide (GO) and red mud (RM) on the properties of fly ash-slag-based geopolymer mortar respectively and explore the causes of changes in the strength of geopolymers after exposure to high temperature.
Methods: The orthogonal method was utilized to derive the optimum mix ratios of geopolymer mortar without the addition of GO or RM. GO at 0.05% or RM at 40% was added to the mixing ratios to study their effects on the mechanical properties of the geopolymer mortar at temperatures ranging from 25 to 900 ℃, respectively.
Results: The addition of GO or RM can reduce the strength loss of geopolymer after exposure to high temperature. Conclusion: (1) The addition of GO or RM can reduce the degree of cracking of geopolymer mortar after exposure to high temperature to some extent. (1) The final strength of the geopolymer is a combination of the degree of reaction and high temperature damage. (3) The degree of sintering reaction inside the mortar specimens was more fully developed and a higher concentration of feldspar-like material was produced compared to that at the edges, which caused the interior to be grayish-black.
Kidney Volume-to-Birth Weight Ratio as a Surrogate Indicator for the Number of Nephrons in Extremely Low Birth Weight Preterm Infants
Authors: Villani Gabriele , Zaza Pierluigi , Lamparelli Raffaella , Maffei Gianfranco 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In humans, nephrogenesis is completed 4–6 weeks after birth, resulting in a highly variable total number of nephrons, ranging from 200,000 to over 2 million. Premature birth disrupts the development and maturation of the kidneys, leading to a reduction in the final number of nephrons. Due to significant genetic variability in the number of nephrons among individuals, it is crucial to identify premature infants with fewer nephrons at birth as early as possible. These infants are more susceptible to developing renal failure with advancing age compared to those with a higher nephron endowment. Bedside ultrasound, an effective and non-invasive tool, is practical for identifying newborns with a lower nephron count. However, renal volume alone cannot reliably indicate the number of nephrons due to substantial variability at birth, influenced by gestational age when nephron maturation is incomplete. This variability in kidney volumes persists as newborns grow. In this observational study, we demonstrate that the ratio between renal volume and birth weight can serve as a valid indicator of nephron count in premature newborns with a birth weight less than 1000 grams. This finding could represent the basis for defining appropriate surveillance protocols and developing targeted therapeutic approaches.

Abstract

Background
Gibberella ear rot (GER) is one of the most devastating diseases in maize growing areas, which directly reduces grain yield and quality. To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the host defense responses against pathogen infection, we analyzed the transcriptomics and defense-related phytohormones of ‘Nov-82’ (resistant inbred line) and ‘H10’ (susceptible inbred line) inoculated with Fusarium graminearum across six time points.
Results
By transcriptome analysis, 4,417 and 4,313 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the Nov-82 and H10, respectively, and 647 genes were common DEGs among the two lines. These DEGs were remarkably enriched in the pathways related to the defense response pathways. In addition, defense-related phytohormones analysis showed that the jasmonates (JAs) and salicylates (SAs) were greatly induced after the pathogen infection, in which case the levels of JAs were more accumulation in H10 compared with Nov-82, whereas an opposite pattern for the SA between the both lines. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed five vital modules based on closely correlated between the DEGs and phytohormones. A total of 12 hub genes were obtained associated with plant defense processes through the integrated analysis of the DEGs and phytohormones, indicating that these genes might play a key role in GER disease.
Conclusions
Overall, this study reveals the transcriptional and phytohormonal responses under the pathogen infection, providing the theoretical basis for maize GER defense mechanisms, in addition to the identified hub genes that can be further investigated for enhancing GER resistance in maize.
