Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

Computational Analysis of Spray Angle Effects on Combustion and Emissions in Methane‐Diesel Dual‐Fuel Engine

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study concluded that wider spray angles produce wall impingement and greater unburned hydrocarbons in methane‐diesel dual‐fuel engines, whereas 110° balances efficiency and emissions. ABSTRACT A diesel methane dual fuel engine appears as a potential means for lowering emissions while retaining useful thermal efficiency.

Revisiting the Nexus Between Trade Liberalisation and Income Inequality: The Case of Sub‐Saharan African Countries

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of trade liberalisation on income inequality across 24 Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2020. Using IV‐Tobit and 2SLS models, we consistently find that greater trade openness significantly exacerbates inequality in the region. Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade

Perovskite‐based time‐domain signal‐balancing LiDAR sensor with centimeter depth resolution

InfoMat, EarlyView.
In this study, we present a monolithic high‐speed perovskite‐based photodetector capable of directly sensing the time delay between two light pulses with a temporal resolution of at least 170 ps. This outstanding time resolution is achieved through a signal‐balancing detection scheme that effectively overcomes the limitations of conventional ...

Net Effects of Gasoline Price Changes on Transit Ridership in U.S. Urban Areas, MTI Report 12-19 [PDF]

, 2015
Using panel data of transit ridership and gasoline prices for ten selected U.S. urbanized areas over the time period of 2002 to 2011, this study analyzes the effect of gasoline prices on ridership of the four main transit modes—bus, light rail, heavy ...

Two Problems for the Political Inclusion of Animals

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, the field of animal ethics has taken a political turn, with scholars arguing that sentient nonhuman animals should be included in the political sphere. This article explores two key challenges arising from this turn towards the political inclusion of animals: the Conflict Problem and the Numbers Problem.

Sensitivity‐Tunable Complex Permittivity Sensing Enabled by Bound States in the Continuum in a Waveguide‐Resonator System

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work introduces two types of bound states in the continuum (BICs) and their merging in a waveguide‐resonator system, which significantly enhances the quality factor (Q$Q$). Benefiting from the high‐Q$Q$ characteristics of quasi‐BICs, a sensitivity‐tunable complex permittivity sensor is developed based on this system, achieving improvements of 93 ...
