3-D fracture network reconstruction and quantitative fractal analysis of subsurface rock fractures via integrated CT scanning and box-counting dimension methodology by Hongjian Wu, Xiangwei Kong, Xing Chen, Dianwei Guan

“…Unlike previous studies focusing on static fracture characterization, our framework uniquely captures hydraulic fracturing-induced dynamic transformations, revealing a 35–40 % decrease in fracture network concentration post-stimulation despite local expansion. Furthermore, the establishment of a morphology-driven natural fracture development index provides the first quantitative link between wall roughness coefficient (JRC) distributions and reservoir fracturability indices, offering actionable insights for stimulation design. …”

A Method for Assessing the Severity of Obstructive Jaundice of Non-Neoplastic Origin by A. P. Vlasov, N. S. Sheyranov, O. V. Markin, T. I. Vlasova, T. A. Muratova, V. E. Ryazantsev, D. E. Timoshkin, K. M. Sinyavina, A. V. Kolesov

“…The method increases the objectivity of determining the severity of non-neoplastic origin by establishing the severity of liver damage and the processes underlying it.CONClUSiON The suggested clinical and laboratory index allows the severity of obstructive jaundice to be objectively and quickly determined upon admission of a patient to the hospital and also adequate therapy to be initiated in case of severe degree for anticipation of possible post-operative complications, so the treatment should be focused on managing triggers of hepatodepression. …”
