Abstract Providing accurate prediction methods for mining-induced water fractured zones over the longwall goaf has become increasingly significant because of grand economic and technological challenges deeper extraction. Taking No. 839 coalface in Qingdong mining area as a case study, comprehensive study water-flowing zone (WFFZ) formation process peak height were carried out by radial basis fu...

In the present work, CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) synthesized with a trioctylphosphine surface passivation layer were modified using amphiphilic molecules to form a surface bilayer capable of providing stable NCs aqueous solutions. Such modified nanocrystals were used as a test solute in order to analyze new electrophoretic phenomena, by applying a micellar plug as a separation tool for discriminati...

Assuming that the energy dissipation decreases inversely with distance from the crack tip, the increase in steady-state toughness of a transformation-toughened ceramic is estimated to be AJ = (AJ,/w) In (1 + w), where (i) AJo denotes the toughness increment which would be expected for a given zone height h , assuming full transformation throughout the zone, and (ii) w is a nondimensional parame...

the present study aimed at investigating the possible impact ofzone of proximal development (zpd) on the learners’ performance. forty-sixiranian university students participated in this study by taking two types of readingcomprehension tests (i.e., the main idea and wh-question type). the researchersused the winstep program to analyze the data and estimate the learners’ raschmeasure in pre, pos...

Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) have been performed of three-dimensional, Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) between two incompressible, miscible fluids, with a 3:1 density ratio. Periodic boundary conditions are imposed in the horizontal directions of a rectangular domain, with no-slip top and bottom walls. Solutions are obtained for the Navier-Stokes equations, augmented by a species transp...

Riparian zones maintain water quality, support multiple geomorphic processes, contain significant biodiversity and also maintain the aesthetics of the landscape. Australian state and national government agencies responsible for managing riparian zones are planning missions for acquiring remotely sensed data covering the main streams in Victoria, New South Wales, and parts of Queensland and Sout...

BACKGROUND This study aims to remodel the Broselow Pediatric Emergency Tape for the Indian pediatric population. The Broselow tape overestimates the heights of the Indian pediatric population and remits inaccurate predicted weights for all color zones with varying degrees and could result in overresuscitation of Indian children in emergency settings. The Indian children are underweight for thei...
