Can a bi-lateral stress jump really arrest the height growth of a hydraulic fracture?

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Carlo Peruzzo, Barnaby Padraig Fryer

In certain industrial applications, vertical growth of hydraulic fractures beyond a targeted formation of interest can cause economic loss and pose a risk to environmentally sensitive layers [1]. In addition, when micro hydraulic fracturing is used to meas ...

Buoyant Hydraulic Fractures: How they Emerge, Grow, and get Arrested

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri, Carlo Peruzzo, Dmitriy Garagash

Most anthropogenic applications of hydraulic fracturing treatments are performed in sedimentary basins. In these geological formations, the minimum compressive stress is usually horizontal and increases with depth. As a result, hydraulic fractures grow alo ...

Elongated hydraulic fracture emerging from layers of alternating fracture toughness

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Carlo Peruzzo

Whether used to enhance the hydrocarbon production from low permeability rocks or to measure the minimum in-situ principal stress in rock formations, height growth of a hydraulic fracture above the formation of interest is a key metric for the design of su ...

Mesomelic dysplasias associated with the HOXD locus are caused by regulatory reallocations

Denis Duboule, Lucille Delisle, Christopher Chase Bolt

Mesomelic dysplasia, a severe shortening and bending of the limb, has been linked to rearrangements in the HoxD cluster in humans and mice. Here the authors engineer a 1 Mb inversion including the HoxD gene cluster and use this model to provide a mechanist ...

Human biases in body measurement estimation

Robert West, Venkata Rama Kiran Garimella

Body measurements, including weight and height, are key indicators of health. Being able to visually assess body measurements reliably is a step towards increased awareness of overweight and obesity and is thus important for public health. Nevertheless it ...

Velocity profiles of turbidity currents flowing over a flat bed

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sabine Chamoun

Turbidity currents are the main source of suspended sediment transport in reservoirs and thus one of the main causes of sedimentation. One of the techniques used to avoid reservoir sedimentation is through venting of turbidity currents. In the framework of ...

Detection of Convergent Genome-Wide Signals of Adaptation to Tropical Forests in Humans

Matthieu Foll

Tropical forests are believed to be very harsh environments for human life. It is unclear whether human beings would have ever subsisted in those environments without external resources. It is therefore possible that humans have developed recent biological ...

Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height

Jiancheng Yang, Murielle Bochud, Zhaoming Wang

Using genome-wide data from 253,288 individuals, we identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explained one-fifth of the heritability for adult height. By testing different numbers of variants in independent studies, we show that th ...
