Foamed Concrete Sealing Materials for Coal Seam Gas Drainage Boreholes: A Review

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the sealing performance of foamed concrete in gas drainage boreholes. By comparing leakage pathways (a, c) with sealed systems (b, d), the research demonstrates how foamed concrete effectively fills mining‐induced fractures and resists deformation.

Experimental Study on Laminar Burning Velocity and Flame Instability of Liquefied Petroleum Gas/Dimethyl Ether Blended Gas: Effects of Equivalence Ratio and Blended Ratio

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
This study reveals the regulatory effect of LPG addition on laminar burning velocity of DME/air mixtures, and elucidates the governing mechanisms of flame instability under varying initial conditions. ABSTRACT Liquefied petroleum gas/dimethyl ether (LPG/DME) blended gas is a promising clean alternative fuel, characterized by high efficiency and clean ...

Academic Buoyancy: A Scale Development and Validation Study

Uluslararası Türk Eğitim Bilimleri Dergisi
The primary aim of this study was to develop a reliable and valid tool for evaluating students' academic buoyancy. After the exploratory factor analysis, a structure comprising 26 items and five factors was formed. These factors were identified as commitment, composure, confidence, coordination, and control, collectively explaining 60.20% of the ...

ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THE NIGHT: Discovering Community and Care in Night Shift Work

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the burgeoning attention being paid to the night‐time economy (NTE) in and by cities, the demands and impacts of night work have gathered increasingly scholarly attention. Research has centred on the darker side of these, pointing to workers' precarity and vulnerability. What if we attend also to a ‘brighter side’ of the night and night

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

Osteological, Biological, and Genetic Consequences of Colonization of Fresh Waters by Marine Cottoid Fishes (Cottidae)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Lacustrine forms of Triglopsis from North American and European lakes are at different stages of evolution, making them a suitable model for testing hypotheses about evolutionary patterns and rates. An integrative analysis of morphological, genetic, and biological adaptations occurring in lacustrine forms of the genus Triglopsis was carried out.
