Abstract: A quantitative evaluation method for integrity and damage evolution of a cement sheath in an oil-gas well is provided based on a fractal theory, an image processing technology, structural features and failure mechanisms of a casing-cement sheath-formation combination. The method uses correlations among fractal dimensions of casing-cement sheath interface morphology, cement sheath microscopic pore morphology, particle morphology of an initial blank group, and macroscopic mechanical properties including a radial cementing strength of the cement sheath interface, a tensile strength, and a compressive strength to quantitatively evaluate the integrity of the cement sheath of the blank group.

Abstract: A data query method and a data query system are provided. A data query server loads, based on a preset configuration interface, configuration metadata sent by a central cluster server for a target application programming interface (API), to a target storage region being located in a database server and associated with the target API, and loads queryable data associated with the target API to the target storage region. Then, the central cluster server sends a query instruction to the data query server based on query metadata in a data query request sent by a user terminal for the target API. After that, the data query server queries corresponding target query data in the target storage region and sends the target query data to the user terminal through the central cluster server. In this way, a data query service can be provided in a form of an API interface.

Abstract: A sensor for detecting a target analyte in a sample includes a pair of conducting electrodes that are separated by a gap. An insulator is disposed in the gap between the electrodes. Plural wells are defined by one of the electrodes and the insulator, to expose the other of the electrodes. The wells are configured to receive a sample including a target analyte. The target analyte, when present in the sample received in the wells, modulates an impedance between the electrodes. The modulated impedance, which is measurable with an applied electrical voltage, is indicative of the concentration of the target analyte in the sample. The wells can include antibodies immobilized inside the wells, to bind the target analyte, which can be a cytokine. Also provided are a method for label-free sensing of a target analyte in a sample, and a transcutaneous impedance sensor for label-free, in-situ biomarker detection.

Abstract: Described are methods of dephosphorylation. Methods of dephosphorylation include contacting a phosphate containing substrate with one or more CeO2 nanocrystal.

Further described are methods of making CeO2 nanocrystals of the present disclosure.

Abstract: A method for detecting a substrate crack, a substrate, and a detection circuit. A non-closed test line having an opening is peripherally disposed along an edge of a glass substrate of a TFT substrate. Whether an edge of the TFT substrate has a crack or chip can be determined by measuring whether the test line is on or off. In this way, a detection omission can be avoided, detection efficiency is improved, and after the TFT substrate is used to assemble a liquid crystal module or the liquid crystal module is used to assemble a complete device, whether the edge of the TFT substrate in the liquid crystal module has a crack or chip can also be detected.
