Fiber Optic Sensing for Geomechanical Monitoring: (2)- Distributed Strain Measurements at a Pumping Test and Geomechanical Modeling of Deformation of Reservoir Rocks

In this study distributed fiber optic sensing has been used to measure strain along a vertical well of a depth of 300 m during a pumping test.The observed strain data has been used in geomechanical simulation, in which a combined Boys Swim analytical and numerical approach was applied in providing scaled-up formation properties.The outcomes of the

Self-care tooling innovation in a disabled kea (Nestor notabilis)

Abstract Tooling is associated with complex cognitive abilities, occurring most regularly in large-brained mammals and birds.Among birds, self-care tooling is seemingly rare in the wild, despite several anecdotal reports of this behaviour in captive parrots.Here, we show that Bruce, a disabled parrot lacking his top mandible, deliberately uses pebb
