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. …”

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. …”

Generating Large Time–Bandwidth Product RF-Chirped Waveforms Using Vernier Dual-Optical Frequency Combs by Mohammed S. Alshaykh

“…In this work, we propose a photonics-based large-TBWP RF chirp generator utilizing dual optical frequency combs with a small difference in the repetition rate. By employing dispersion modules for frequency-to-time mapping, we convert the spectral interferometric patterns into a temporal RF sinusoidal carrier signal whose frequency is swept through the optical shot-to-shot delay. …”
