ABSTRACTField heat experiments with kaolinite/smectite clay surrounding heaters in boreholes were conducted for 0.7 and 4 years with temperatures up to 170-180°C. The short test gave a high degree of water saturation even in the hottest part (> 75 %) and almost no change in physical properties and mineral composition. The long test gave a dry inner zone of claystone, indicating gas formation, and rich precipitation of silica/aluminum compounds and sulphate minerals. Brittleness characterized the hot parts and stiffening occurred also in the colder parts due to precipitation of silica and aluminum.

A field experiment shows that rapid downward migration of solutes and microorganisms can occur in a fractured till. A solute tracer, chloride, and a bacteriophage tracer, PRD-1, were added to groundwater and allowed to infiltrate downwards over a 4 × 4 m area. Chloride was detected in horizontal filters at 2.0 m depth within 3-40 days of the start of the tracer test, and PRD-1 was detected in the same filters within 0.27 - 27 days. At 2.8 m depth chloride appeared in all the filters, but PRD-1 appeared in only about one-third of the filters. At 4.0 m depth chloride appeared in about one-third of the filters and trace amounts of PRD-1 were detected in only 2 of the 36 filters. Transport rates and peak tracer concentrations decreased with depth, but at each depth there was a high degree of variability. The transport data is generally consistent with expectations based on hydraulic conductivity measurements and on the observed density of fractures and biopores, both of which decrease with depth. Transport of chloride was apparently retarded by diffusion into the fine-grained matrix between fractures, but the rapid transport of PRD-1, with little dispersion, indicates that it was transported mainly through the fractures.

Paper observes research of the mechanical characteristics of the stabilized soil with different «Chimston» additives. Current work focuses on the application of the «Chimston-1» and «Chimston-2» produced by Zipo research and production company. Stabilized soil is based on local soils: argillaceous sand ground and sand clay. Chemical additives are mixed with water according to the manufacture’s recommendations. Amount of the «Chimston-1» is 0.07% of the soil. Amount of the «Chimston-2» is 0.01% of the cement. During the research plasticize effect is studied, based on maximum density and optimal humidity. Water saturation, mechanical strength under tension in bending and compression. It is established, application of the "Chimson" additives allow to increase key characteristics of the stabilized soil without increasing of the cement. «Chimston-1» additive has strongly pronounced plasticize effect which allow to increase soil compaction and decrease optimal humidity. Additive "Chimston-2" is a water repellent with a high degree of efficiency with soil stabilization.

Abstract The molecular weight data reported in Part II depend on the assumption that the values obtained by extrapolating osmotic pressure measurements to infinite dilution represent true molecular weights. This point of view has been strongly criticized, particularly by Pummerer and his coworkers, according to whom rubber normally exists in solution in the form of micelles comprising more or less well-defined aggregates containing a considerable number of chemical molecules. The- osmotic “molecular weight” is then regarded as the weight of an average micelle. If they exist, these micelles may be important in determining both the chemical and physical behavior of rubber, for we should clearly expect the bonds by which the chemical molecules are bound into micelles to be weaker than those within the molecules. It may be noted that it has been shown elsewhere that the physical properties of a series of rubber fractions are closely related to their osmotic and viscosity molecular weights. Since, according to the micellar theory, these fractions can differ only in micelle size, their mechanical behavior must, from this viewpoint, be determined by the size of the micelles, which must therefore remain intact during mechanical deformation of the rubber. It is the object of the present paper to examine in more detail the basis of the micellar theory, and especially to offer an interpretation of the results of the East method, on which Pummerer's arguments are mainly based.

In China, the coal gas formation is characterized as low permeability, low pressure and low water saturation. The coal bed methane (CBM) has strong adsorption and is difficult to develop. Hydraulic fracture is currently the main measure to improve its permeability, drain the liquid and lower the pressure, which promotes desorption of CBM. But it is not efficient. Based on the principle of high energy gas fracturing (HEGF) and the study of new methods, we proposed the test application of the multi-pulse loading fracturing technology for development of shallow CBM. The mechanism of the technology is that it generates high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the target coal bed to produce a long multi-fracture system with effects of multi-pulse loading. It can also produce strong impulse oscillation acting on formation matrix to loose formation pressure, improve the pore connectivity and permeability of coal bed, which promotes pressure drawdown and desorption of CBM. Thus, the goal of increasing the yield of CBM wells is achieved. This paper focuses on the research ideas, mechanism, process design and feasibility. We carried out analysis combined with field test applications. The study provides a new direction to explore new technologies for China’s CBM development.

This paper has carried out soaking load test, routine soil test, X diffraction, scanning electron microscopy on coarse-grained soil in Gobi region, analyzed the coarse-grained soil collapsibility and explored the mechanism of collapsibility generation. The results showed that: the coarse-grained soil in Gobi region had a high degree of collapsibility; mineral composition, microstructure and salinity constituted the main internal reasons resulting in such phenomenon. In soaking conditions, the cementation strengthen between grains reduces, the structure is damaged under external force and the grain movement leads to greater settlement.

AbstractWe have evaluated the physical properties and animal efficacy of a hyaluronic acid (HA) based bioresorbable membrane for the prevention of post-surgical adhesions. Test methods were developed to measure the dry and wet tensile properties and ia Xilm tissue adhesiveness of the membranes. The thin membranes were found to have sufficient strength and flexibility in the dry state for surgical handling. When hydrated in buffered saline, the membranes became weaker and more elastic. The membranes exhibited a high degree of tissue adhesiveness and significantly reduced adhesion formation in a rat cecal abrasion model.
