Influence of Water Injection Pressure on Methane Gas Displacement by Coal Seam Water Injection by Tianwei Shi, Yishan Pan, Wenhong Zheng, Aiwen Wang

“…The test results show that with the same displacement time, the ratio of displaced methane increases with the increase in the water injection pressure. The displacement rate increases with the increase in the water injection pressure at the stage without water discharge, while the water displacement rate under different water injection pressures differed slightly; in the later displacement stage, a higher water injection pressure of the coal sample results in a faster attenuation of the displacement rate and water displacement rate due to the decrease in the methane content in the coal sample. …”

Analysis of fibrous material deformation in the roll contact zone by Khurramov Shavkat, Abrorov Akbar, Abdullaev Akhror, Norov Nusiratjon, Baymatov Shakhriddin

“…The analytical description of the shape of contact curves and the thickness of processed material in the technological zone of a two-roll module in a dynamic mode is given, considering the deformation pattern of the processed material. It is determined that one of the factors that most influence the shape of the contact curve is the ratio of the compression rate of the coating deformation to the corresponding material feed rate. …”

Environmental Determinants of Foraging Site Revisitation by African Elephants (Loxodonta africana) by Suzanne Antoinette Jacob, Willem Frederik De Boer, Henrik Johan De Knegt, Cassander Cassijn Engelen, Michelle Henley

“…Moreover, phosphorus is the most important environmental variable influencing the revisitation rate. This study shows that analysing revisitation patterns gives valuable insight into how animals use specific sites within their home range, as the environmental covariates related to the selection of the revisitation sites differ from those related to the revisitation rate.…”

Spatial Inequality and Accessibility of Senior High School Education in Bonebolango Regency by Aljunaid Bakari, Firman Sidik

“…The results of this study show that the availability of high school facilities in Bonebolango Regency has not met the needs of the upper school-age community, because it has not been able to accommodate 80% of the high school age population in each sub-district. The occupancy rate is also uneven, with four high schools having an occupancy rate above 80% of the temporary capacity and 11 high schools having an occupancy rate of less than 50% of their capacity Based on the analysis of the nearest neighbors, the distribution pattern of high schools in Bonebolango Regency is relatively random, with a value of 0.975337 and a z-score of -0.030915. …”
