Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for calculating wellbore friction resistance of a foam drainage gas production well. It is based on the conversion of the parameters of the gas-liquid two-phase flow Mukherjee & Brill model, it defines the liquid film reversal point as the zero friction resistance point, ignores the influence of the negative value of friction resistance, and uses this as a starting point to predict the change of friction resistance. The influence of liquid phase parameters and foaming agent concentration is taken into account in the friction resistance coefficient. An effective calculation method is obtained by combining the experimental data fitting and optimization. The present disclosure better characterizes the wellbore flow condition of the foam drainage gas production well, and provides important theoretical support for the prediction of the wellbore pressure drop of the foam drainage gas production well.

Abstract: One or more shock absorbers may be disposed between the layers of an optical assembly, which may be used in a head-mounted display (HMD) device for the display of augmented and/or virtual reality (AR/VR) content. In one example, an optical component positioned adjacent to a waveguide in the optical assembly may have one or more shock absorbers positioned on the surface which faces the waveguide. The shock absorbers may either touch the surface of the waveguide or may not touch the waveguide but rather have a gap (i.e., a stand-off shock absorber). The shock absorbers may take the form of, e.g., a pillar, a cone, an inverted cone, an inverted pillar, a spring, a double helix, a three-dimensional mesh, a strap, or a high aspect ratio 3D mesh tower.

Abstract: Provided are a protein containing an amino acid sequence capable of binding to a peptide fragment of a substrate GPRP, a fibrinogen-like protein 1 (FGL1) containing the amino acid sequence, and a fibrinogen domain (FD) of the FGL1, wherein a single FD protein also has a function the same as or similar to that of the FGL1. The FGL1 and FD, which have different action mechanisms from existing drugs, can inhibit fibrin assembly in the process of thrombogenesis by means of competing for fibrin substrate binding pockets. The FGL1 and FD can have a stronger affinity to the substrate by means of mutation, thereby effectively enhancing a usage effect of drugs for treating thrombus.
