The Xishan coalfield is an important coking coal-producing area in China. No. 8 and 9 coals of the Taiyuan formation were sampled tested from nine mines center north coalfield, coal’s quality characteristics, element occurrence enrichment sedimentary environment characteristics analyzed to provide a foundation for clean efficient coal utilization identification associated resources. results obt...

The shallow-layer resources in the Huanghebei Coalfield have been depleted, and deep coal seam of Taiyuan Formation (lower group) is main continuous resource mining at this stage. With annual increase depth, exploitation lower groups being met with influence high ground stress, water pressure, temperature, strong disturbances, as a result which threat inrush particularly serious. Based on grout...

Increased incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) has been recognized as a critical challenge to communicable disease control and public health response. This study aimed to quantify the association between climate variation and notified cases of HFMD in selected cities of Shanxi Province, and to provide evidence for disease control and prevention. Meteorological variables and HFMD cas...
