Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for experimentally determining a critical sand-carrying gas velocity of a shale gas well. The method includes: collecting well structure and production data, calculating parameter ranges of a gas flow velocity and a liquid flow velocity; carrying out a physical simulation experiment of sand carrying in the shale gas well to obtain the sand holding capacity of the wellbore under different experimental conditions, and calculating a sand holding rate; by observing a change curve of the sand holding rate of the wellbore vs. the gas flow velocity, defining a turning point, and sensitively analyzing the influence of other experimental variables on the turning point, to calculate the critical sand-carrying production of the shale gas well under different conditions. Therefore, this calculation method is simple and applicable, and provides a theoretical basis for the optimization design of water drainage and gas production process.

Abstract: Provided is a method of decoding, the method including receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a downlink control information (DCI) that is encoded, identifying, by the UE, a first bit position of the DCI as a known bit, and reducing a number of candidate code words for the DCI based on the known bit.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a binary annotation of source text; performing a close operation on the binary annotation to generate a closed annotation using an initial kernel size; defining one or more contours in the closed annotation using one or more bounding boxes, respectively; determining a subset of the one or more contours for which a percentage of area occupied by text within a corresponding bounding box exceeds a threshold; and generating a final annotation of the source text based on the subset of the one or more contours.

Abstract: Disclosed in one aspect is a pickled vegetable-based edible packaging paper, the raw material of which is composed of the following components in parts by weight: 92-95 parts of a high dietary fiber-level pickled vegetable, a compounding thickener (0.6-0.8 parts of pectin, 0.6-0.8 parts of potato starch, and 0.2-0.4 parts of soy protein), and a compounding plasticizer (3-4 parts of sorbitol, and 0.5-1.5 parts of citral); and further disclosed in another aspect is a method for preparing a pickled vegetable-based edible packaging paper. The pickled vegetable paper of the present invention is a novel pickled vegetable-based product having both edible and practical functions, which product is rich in dietary fibers, retains the unique flavor and color of the pickled vegetable, has toughness and non-stickiness to teeth, and is soft and easy to process after being wetted.

Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of decoding a signal are provided. The method includes receiving signal to be decoded, where signal includes at least one symbol; decoding signal in stages, where each at least one symbol of signal is decoded into at least one bit per stage, wherein Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR) and a path metric are determined for each possible path for each at least one bit at each stage; determining magnitudes of the LLRs; identifying K bits of the signal with smallest corresponding LLR magnitudes; identifying, for each of the K bits, L possible paths with largest path metrics at each decoder stage for a user-definable number of decoder stages; performing forward and backward traces, for each of the L possible paths, to determine candidate codewords; performing a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) on the candidate codewords; and stopping after a first candidate codeword passes the CRC.
