A New Transformation Method of the T₂ Spectrum Based on Ordered Clustering—A Case Study on the Pore-Throat Utilization Rule of Supercritical CO₂ Flooding in L... by Yanchun Su, Chunhua Zhao, Xianjie Li, Xiujun Wang, Jian Zhang, Bo Huang, Xiaofeng Tian, Mingxi Liu, Kaoping Song

“…It is generally believed that there is a power function relationship between transverse relaxation time (T₂) and pore-throat radius (r), but the segmentation process of the pore-throat interval is subjective, which affects the conversion accuracy. In this paper, ordered clustering is used to improve the existing segmentation method of the pore-throat interval, eliminate the subjectivity in the segmentation process, and obtain a more accurate distribution curve of the pore-throat. …”

Combined characterization of pore structurein deep medium-rank coal using mercury intrusion and liquid nitrogen adsorption methods and its pore fractal characteristics by Qi LI, Yong WU, Lei QIAO

“…Micropores accounted for more than 70% of the total specific surface area, while the proportions of mesopores and macropores were minimal, indicating that micropores had the strongest adsorption capacity, which was negatively affected gas management in deep coal seams. The fractal dimensions based on the Menger sponge model ranged from 2.6 to 3.0, indicating irregular pore shapes, complex pore structures, and generally rough pore surfaces. (2) The effective pore size tested using liquid nitrogen adsorption method ranged from 3 to 177 nm with significant differences in total pore volume and specific surface area among the mining areas. …”

CYFIP2: potential pancreatic cancer biomarker and immunotherapeutic target by Cong Xiao, Xiaojuan Zhang, Bobo Hou, Ping Wan, Zhenjun Cao, Xuefeng Rao

“…Results Bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experiments confirmed that CYFIP2 was differentially expressed in a variety of tumors and correlated with clinical stage, and could be used as a potential marker for evaluating the prognosis and immunotherapy of a variety of tumors, including KIRC (Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma), PAAD (Pancreatic adenocarcinoma), PAAD (Pancreatic adenocarcinoma), SKCM (Skin Cutaneous Melanoma), and UCEC (Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma).Mutations in the CYFIP2 gene and methylation indices can affect the prognosis of tumor patients. In addition, we found that CYFIP2 expression values in pancreatic cancer were positively correlated with the expression of most immune cells, especially CD8 + T Cells, and significantly negatively correlated with macrophages M0, and negatively correlated with the metastatic and invasive ability of pancreatic cancer cells, which may provide new strategies and ideas for pancreatic cancer immunotherapy.…”
