In addition, few studies have shown that microbial biofilms are formed in native rock matrixes at least in fracture zones, where the flux of water and nutrients is higher, or near the surface, where oxygen is present13,14,15. But up to now, there has been no information about the ...
A Turing machine consists of a tape, a read/write head, and a set of instructions. The tape a strip of paper with an arbitrary finite length, divided into cells that contain at least either a 1 or a 0. The read/write head is something which reads the contents of a cell o...
Next, the study simulates the flow field, advective transport, and performance measures (PMs) of the base case with recommended flow properties for hydrogeological units. The PMs are the key parameters for performance and safety assessment in the near-field and far-field based on groundwater ...
Due to the complexity of fracture geometry, an unstructured mesh is needed. However, when the distance or the angle between the adjacent fractures is very small, tiny mesh elements are required to discretize the area between fractures, leading to computational difficulties. The pseudo-fracture model...
where Sr/Y and (La/Yb)N are whole-rock average ratios (and the subscript ‘N’ for La/Yb implies that the ratios were normalized to chondritic values of Sun and McDonough, 1989), and dm = crustal thickness or depth to Moho. During the Permian–Triassic, the northern margin of the NC...
