Mechanism and disaster control new technology of strong ground pressure manifestation in ultra‐large mining face

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In response to the problem of strong mining pressure manifestation along the goaf roadway in a thick coal seam mining area, this study uses a new type of combined blasting roof cutting technology to effectively control the manifestation and deformation of mining pressure along the goaf roadway.

Quasi M-convex and L-convex functions—quasiconvexity in discrete optimization

, 2003
We introduce two classes of discrete quasiconvex functions, called quasi M- and L-convex functions, by generalizing the concepts of M- and L-convexity due to Murota (Adv. Math. 124 (1996) 272) and (Math. Programming 83 (1998) 313).

High‐Voltage Stability of LiCoO2 Cathode Materials Composited With Vanadium‐Based Glass Coatings

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Vanadium‐based glasses show fluidity and good wettability toward other materials at low temperatures. The controlled precipitation of nanocrystals in vanadium‐based glasses enhances the material's mechanical properties and electrical conductivity. The VPFL coatings bond to the LiCoO2 interface via chemical bonds.

Concept, Tests, and Optimum Design of Novel Negative Stiffness Friction Dampers for Seismic Protection of Long‐Span Bridges

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

Effect of Austerity Measures on Infant Mortality: Evidence From Greece

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Governments frequently adopt austerity policies when facing economic crises, yet their long‐term consequences for population health remain incompletely understood. This paper examines the impact of large‐scale fiscal austerity on infant mortality by exploiting the Troika‐led economic adjustment program implemented in Greece beginning in 2010 ...

Properties for Close-to-Convex and Quasi-Convex Functions Using q-Linear Operator

Mathematics
In this work, we describe the q-analogue of a multiplier–Ruscheweyh operator of a specific family of linear operators Iq,ρs(ν,τ), and we obtain findings related to geometric function theory (GFT) by utilizing approaches established through subordination ...

The Effect of the Interaction Between Price and Time Preference on Cigarette Consumption

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The primary focus of this essay is to obtain new estimates of the price sensitivity of cigarette consumption and related outcomes using the 1979 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79). This work expands on the existing literature on the topic by taking into account measures of time preference in the NLSY79 to examine ...

The Effect of Transformations on the Approximation of Univariate (Convex) Functions with Applications to Pareto Curves

In the literature, methods for the construction of piecewise linear upper and lower bounds for the approximation of univariate convex functions have been proposed.We study the effect of the use of increasing convex or increasing concave transformations ...
