The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Fishes of the genus Enchodus were abundant and cosmopolitan in the Late Cretaceous, but are primarily known from isolated remains in Canada. Four well‐preserved fish skulls were recovered in recent years from ammolite mines sampling the Bearpaw Formation of Southern Alberta, and are here referred to Enchodus petrosus Cope, 1874.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biochar has emerged as a useful and adaptable source of carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Its value comes from the way biomass chemistry, thermal conversion, and activation conditions shape the resulting pore network, surface groups, and degree of carbon ordering.

Field Measurement of Dust Concentration on Open-pit Coal Mine Truck Transportation Roads and Numerical Simulation of Dust Patterns [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesDust generated by open-pit coal truck transportation is one of the main sources of pollution, adversely affecting road visibility and the surrounding air quality during transportation operations. To investigate the distribution patterns of transport dust

Steep seam coal mining in Western Canada by open pit mining
, 1984 Canada produces close to 42 million tonnes of coal per annum of which soma 38 million tonnes is produced by surface mining methods. The two Western Canadian provinces, Alberta and British Columbia, produce 31 million tonnes of coal by surface mining. These two provinces provide the bulk of the metallurgical coal for export. The geological conditions in

Clathrate hydrate crystallization
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Clathrate hydrate crystallization has been an area of interest to chemical engineers from the point of view of crystal structure, thermophysical properties, phase equilibria, kinetics, industrial applications, and environmental (climate change) implications.

Prediction of open-pit mine truck travel time based on LSTM-TabTransformer
Scientific ReportsTruck travel time prediction is the basis for real-time optimal scheduling decision of open-pit trucks. Most prediction models for open-pit truck travel time mainly rely on a single machine learning algorithm or model to optimize the hyperparameters ...

A novel drilling hole sealing device based on the principle of blocking air leakage path
Meikuang AnquanThe sealing quality of gas extraction boreholes can directly affect the extraction efficiency. In order to effectively guarantee the sealing quality of gas extraction boreholes, the possible air leakage crack and its controllability after the sealing of ...

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis (MACP) of individual and blended textiles (cotton, polyester, nylon 6) using ZnO and a ZnO/natural zeolite catalyst. In a custom‐built microwave reactor operated at 500°C, 1 kW power, and a 15‐min residence time, textile wastes were pyrolyzed.
