Instability mechanism of coal pillar in steeply dipping ultra-thick coal seam “segmented and stratified” combined mining by Yong LIU, Yao YANG, Xiao WANG, Wenqiang WANG, Xuesong WU, Anye CAO, Zujun LU, Tao YANG, Zhanquan WEI

“…The simulation results show that under the influence of pre-abutment pressure in inclined stratified mining, the section coal pillar is in a state of high stress, and the stress change rate is the most significant. The main cause of pillar instability is the local stress concentration in the combined mining of “segmented and stratified” coal seam with large dip angle; based on the instability mechanism of coal pillar in the composite mining area with large dip angle and ultra-thick coal seam, the prevention and control idea of rock burst of working face and key areas, the plan of the deep hole pre-splitting blasting in the roof and the combining of near and far blasting in the coal body, pressure relief in batches and shock absorption and shock prevention is formulated, which effectively reduces the stress and energy level of the gob side and significantly reduces the “segmented and stratified” composite mining of large dip angle and ultra-thick coal seam.…”

A Comparison of Nannochloropsis salina Growth Performance in Two Outdoor Pond Designs: Conventional Raceways versus the ARID Pond with Superior Temperature Management by Braden Crowe, Said Attalah, Shweta Agrawal, Peter Waller, Randy Ryan, Jon Van Wagenen, Aaron Chavis, John Kyndt, Murat Kacira, Kim L. Ogden, Michael Huesemann

“…While the ARID culture system achieved nearly double the volumetric productivity relative to the conventional raceways (0.023 versus 0.013 g L−1day−1), areal biomass productivities were of similar magnitude in both pond systems (3.47 versus 3.34 g m−2day−1), suggesting that the ARID pond design has to be further optimized, most likely by increasing the culture depth or operating at higher cell densities while maintaining adequate mixing.…”
