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. …”

Evolving Frameworks for the Foundation and Practice of Electronic Fetal Monitoring by Mark I. Evans, David W. Britt, Shara M. Evans, Lawrence D. Devoe, Yang Pan

“…Part of EFM's poor performance with respect to these outcomes arises from a fundamental misunderstanding of the differences between screening and diagnostic tests, subjective classifications of fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns that lead to large inter-observer variability in its interpretation, failure to appreciate early stages of fetal compromise, and poor statistical modeling for its use as a screening test. …”
