Fault-Affected Fluid Circulation Revealed by Hydrochemistry and Isotopes in a Large-Scale Utilized Geothermal Reservoir by Yanlong Kong, Zhonghe Pang, Jumei Pang, Jie Li, Min Lyu, Sheng Pan

“…Based on the hydrogeochemical and temperature logging data, this was explained by mixing of lateral recharging groundwater with ascending thermal fluids through the Xiongxian Fault, after excluding the causes of pumping activities and geologic structure. In addition, geothermal groundwater 81Kr age was estimated to be approximately 760 k yr, which is much older than the 14C age of 20 to 30 k yr. …”

Directed Fuzzy Edge Graphs Under q-ROF Environment: A Framework for Optimal Pathfinding by Nazia Nazir, Tanzeela Shaheen, Wajid Ali, Md Rafiul Hassan, Mohammad Mehedi Hassan

“…This paper introduces a novel framework of Directed Edge q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Graphs (DEq-ROFGs), where graph vertices are crisp, and edges are characterized by q-rung orthopair fuzzy numbers (q-ROFNs). This structure captures the uncertainty in edge relationships while retaining deterministic node identities, making it ideal for applications in uncertain environments such as social networks, supply chains, healthcare systems, and recommendation systems. …”
