AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on measuring pore length scales and surface relaxivities of various rock core types using a 2MHz Rock Core Analyzer.
  • The researchers detected high eigenmodes related to molecular diffusion under magnetic fields, confirming results with a more advanced 64MHz NMR system.
  • They linked pore length to relaxation time through two-dimensional experiments and compared surface relaxivity findings with additional NMR methods for validation.

Article Abstract

Pore length scales and pore surface relaxivities of rock cores with different lithologies were studied on a 2MHz Rock Core Analyzer. To determine the pore length scales of the rock cores, the high eigenmodes of spin bearing molecules satisfying the diffusion equation were detected with optimized encoding periods in the presence of internal magnetic fields Bin. The results were confirmed using a 64MHz NMR system, which supports the feasibility of high eigenmode detection at fields as low as 2MHz. Furthermore, this methodology was combined with relaxometry measurements to a two-dimensional experiment, which provides correlation between pore length and relaxation time. This techniques also yields information on the surface relaxivity of the rock cores. The estimated surface relaxivities were then compared to the results using an independent NMR method.

Article Synopsis
  • 3D scaffolds provide a more natural environment for cell studies, but synthetic hydrogels often have limited pore sizes that restrict cell movement.
  • A new method using liquid-liquid phase separation creates macroporous hydrogels with adjustable pore sizes by controlling polymerization conditions like light intensity and hydrogel composition.
  • These macroporous gels, suitable for cell encapsulation, enhance cell spreading and migration, mimicking natural extracellular matrix (ECM) environments.

Coalbed methane (CBM) reservoir modification based on chemical solvent treatment could change the coal microstructure, which further affects the adsorption capacity and flow characteristics of this clean energy. Coal samples were extracted by tetrahydrofuran (THF), carbon disulfide (CS), and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Low-pressure nitrogen adsorption, carbon dioxide adsorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and methane isothermal adsorption test were adopted.

The mechanisms of soil preferential flow occurrence and development are influenced by topographic and geomorphological factors. However, the complex distribution patterns of soil preferential flow paths on different slopes remain unclear. Therefore, taking the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest area of Simian Mountain as the study area, this study conducted a quantitative analysis of the spatial distribution characteristics and spatial association of soil preferential flow at different slope positions (slope shoulder (SS), mid-slope (SM) and slope foot (SF)) using field staining tracer tests and spatial point pattern analysis.
