Geological characteristics and main enrichment controlling factors of coalbed methane in Nanchuan area, southeastern Sichuan Basin by Xipeng HE, Kaiming WANG, Wei LUO, Yuqiao GAO, Nana LIU, Tao GUO, Yatong ZHOU, Didi WU

“…The results show that: (1) The main coal seams of the Longtan Formation exhibit stable distribution (thickness of 2.8 to 5.7 m), good coal body structure (mainly primary structural coal), high vitrinite content (average content of 79.7%), high degree of thermal evolution (average Ro of 1.9%), and low ash yield rate (average of 14.3 %). These characteristics provide the basic conditions for the formation of CBM reservoirs. (2) The coal reservoir has a pore-fracture structure, with micropores accounting for 78% of the total pore volume and contributing 99.6% of the total specific surface area, which is favorable for CBM adsorption and post-fracturing seepage. (3) The total gas content of the coal seam is 14.0 to 46.7 m3/t, with free gas accounting for 39% to 44%. …”

Geochemistry characteristics of rare earth elements in the permo-carboniferous Taiyuan Formation coal in Ordos Basin—Taking Ningdong coalfield as an example by Fenghua MA, Donggang WANG, Qingzhi HE, Ruiyun MA, Cheng WANG, Xiaobing YANG

“…The REE in coal mainly occurs in clay minerals, which can be verified by the positive correlation between rare earth elements and ash, Si, Al, Na, K. The diagrams of ∑Lei-La/Ibu, ∑-Li-δ/δ-Ou, and Σli-La/Lu indicate that the Carboniferous-Permian coal in the Ningdong coalfield was formed in the sedimentary setting of the Lower Delta Plain and the Lower Delta-Delta Plain, all of which were affected by seawater to varying degrees. …”

Changes on the Development of Rigor Mortis in Cultured Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Fed with a Mixture of Plant Proteins by Nathaly Montoya Camacho, Enrique Márquez Ríos, Francisco Javier Castillo Yáñez, Saúl Ruíz Cruz, Aldo Alejandro Arvizu Flores, Wilfrido Torres Arreola, Jose Luis Cárdenas López, Santiago Valdéz Hurtado, Víctor Manuel Ocaño Higuera

“…The results indicated that FM replacement affected (p≤0.05) the muscle composition, where the fish fed with D100 presented the higher content of lipids and ash. Fish fed with D0 and DC presented a more pronounced onset of rigor mortis and also showed a higher IR%, a lower content of glycogen, ATP, adenosine 5′-diphosphate (ADP), adenosine 5′-monophosphate (AMP), pH, and shear force. …”
