"Vaca Muerta Formation in Neuquén Basin, Argentina, is one of the great worldwide promises given its potential as a non-conventional reservoir. Because of the intrinsic heterogeneity and low permeability, hydraulic frac...

In response to the proposition that communication lacks disciplinary sta-tus because of deficient core knowledge, I propose that we turn an osten-sible weakness into a strength. We should identify our mission as bring-in...

Bone mineral density (BMD) is the tool for diagnosing osteoporosis in older adults. However, BMD alone is not sufficient for deciding who should be given treatment at either the individual patient or the public health le...

Osteoporosis constitutes a major public health problem through its association with age related fractures. Fracture rates are generally higher in caucasian women than in other populations. Important determinants include ...

"Discrete Fracture and Matrix (DFM) models describe fractured porous media as complex sets of 2D planar polygons embedded in a 3D matrix representing the surrounding porous medium. The numerical simulation of the flow in...

"In present work, a finite element model is developed for the hydraulic fracturing process applicable to a stage of a horizontal well in a shale formation, using the joint representation of the clusters that compose it. ...

Abstract In the course of an investigation of the effect of surface scratches on the mechanical strength of solids, some general conclusions were reached which appear to have a direct bearing on the problem of rupture, f...

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to bone fracture. Bone ti...

The topic of this paper is related to the study of what is known in the industry as the “parent-child” effect. This is accomplished by using a coupled hydraulic fracture and reservoir simulator to perform a sensitivi...

CONTEXT: Despite decades of accumulated observational evidence, the balance of risks and benefits for hormone use in healthy postmenopausal women remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To assess the major health benefits and risk...
