Appreciable injection-induced seismicity has been occurring in northcentral Oklahoma since 2009. To better understand these earthquakes, we have compiled new information on the state of stress in the state to compare it with both mapped faults and faults inferred from earthquake epicenters and focal plane mechanisms. Seventy-five new in situ stress orientations are available from wellbores thro...

Numerical modelling techniques are not new for mining industry and civil engineering projects anymore. These techniques have been widely used for rock engineering problems such as stability analysis and support design of roadways and tunnels, caving and subsidence prediction, and stability analysis of rock slopes. Despite the significant advancement in the computational mechanics and availabili...

n the early stages of growth has been measured in α-Al2O3 (alumina) scales formed on and NiAl-based alloys during heating in air at 1000 to 1200°C. Scale thickness rom 0.5 to 5 μm, times from 5 to 720 min. Stress was measured using the multiple-tilt . In order to measure the thinnest scales at the earliest times, focused, monochromatic tron radiation was used for high intensity, and a fixed, sm...

Objective(s): In this study, a stable bear bile-loaded pH sensitive in-situ eye drop gel was prepared for sustain delivery and enhanced therapeutic application. Materials and Methods: Bear bile-loaded in-situ ocular gels with different Carbopol/Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)  ratios were prepared and their stability was tested in P...
