Drilling fluids are essential for maintaining cutting suspension during drilling, exhibiting gel-like behavior at rest and liquid-like behavior under shearing. These fluids display shear-thinning behavior, yield stress, and thixotropy. This study investigates the impact of aging time on stress overshoot and the deformation required to disrupt the gelled structure of water-based and synthetic-based drilling fluids. Flow start-up tests were conducted using a rotational rheometer at 25 °C and atmospheric pressure. The results show that aging time significantly affects both stress overshoot and the shear strain needed to disrupt the gelled structure. Longer aging times reduce the strain required to break the structure, indicating a correlation between aging time and stress overshoot. The fitted model strongly correlates with the experimental data, providing valuable insights for the planning and simulation of offshore drilling wells, primarily in well stability.

Background: Individuals raised in an urban environment (URBANs) show an exaggerated inflammatory response to the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) compared with individuals raised in a rural environment. The underlying mechanisms are unclear but may relate to childhood animal contact. As an exaggerated immune (re)activity plays a causal role in the pathogenesis of stress-associated disorders, these findings might explain the higher prevalence of stress-associated disorders in urban vs.

Rapid warming in northern lands has led to increased ecosystem carbon uptake. It remains unclear, however, whether and how the beneficial effects of warming on carbon uptake will continue with climate change. Moreover, the role played by water stress in temperature control on ecosystem carbon uptake remains highly uncertain.

This research paper presents a high-gain DC-DC converter with ultra-step-up voltage gain capability. The proposed converter is synthesized from a two-phase interleaved boost converter (IBC), and its voltage gain is doubled by adopting a voltage lift capacitor. To enhance its voltage gain capability, a floating capacitor-based gain extension cell is adopted subsequently.

Article Synopsis
- Transition metal complexes are used as luminescent probes in fields like optoelectronics and biomedicine, but their effectiveness is hindered by issues like photobleaching and photooxidative stress.
- The research introduces ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as a way to prevent photobleaching in a new Pt(II) complex, showing that it can enhance luminescence by scavenging harmful oxygen produced during exposure to light.
- This method of oxidative protection is adaptable and has potential applications in other coordination compounds, improving the stability of luminophores for broader use in scientific and technological fields.
