Spatial and Temporal Distribution Law and Influencing Factors of the Mining-Induced Deformation and Failure of Gas Boreholes by Fei Xue, Xiaowei Feng

“…Because gas boreholes are easy to damage by integrated coal mining and gas exploration, based on the practice of relieving pressure in deep thin coal seams in the Huainan mining area, a multidimensional coupling numerical simulation method was used to reveal the space-time evolution characteristics and influence factors of fracture deformation of gob-side gas boreholes. …”

Sliding Dynamics of a Filippov Forest-Pest Model with Threshold Policy Control by Lirong Liu, Changcheng Xiang, Guangyao Tang, Yuan Fu

“…More importantly, four cases of sliding bifurcations of the Filippov system with respect to different types of equilibria of subsystems are investigated, and the corresponding biological implications concerning integrated pest management (IPM) are analyzed. Our results show that the points of intersection between nullclines are equilibria of the system, and the two endpoints of the sliding segment are on the nullclines. …”

Mechanical Model for Shear Friction Capacity of Concrete at Construction Joints by Seung-Jun Kwon, Keun-Hyeok Yang, Ju-Hyun Mun

“…This was achieved by examining the code equations (ACI 318-14, AASHTO, and fib 2010) and comparing the results predicted by equations with experimental data compiled from 207 push-off specimens (133 rough and 74 smooth construction joints). The integrated mechanical model for the monolithic interface, derived from the upper-bound theorem of concrete plasticity, was also modified to estimate the shear friction strength of the construction joints. …”

Towards a green world: how new urbanization affects green total factor carbon productivity by Xiaohong Wang, Xuanting Li

“…IntroductionNew urbanization is a powerful support for regional economic growth and green transformation.MethodsIn this paper, we select data from 237 cities at prefecture level and above in China from 2010 to 2021 for quasi-experimental design, and investigate the effects of new urbanization policy pilots on urban green total factor productivity (GTFP) and its mechanism by constructing a multi-period difference-in-differences model.ResultsThe study finds that: a) the construction of new urbanization has a positive impact on promoting urban GTFP, and this result is verified by a series of robustness tests; b) the promotion of industrial structure upgrading, the facilitation of green technological innovation, and the reduction of the degree of resource mismatch all partially mediate the relationship between new urbanization and urban GTFP; c) environmental regulation and market integration both modulate the relationship between the construction of new urbanization and urban GTFP in positive directions; d) heterogeneity analysis shows that, in terms of the two-dimensional city attributes of ‘location-characteristics’, the increase in GTFP is more significant in eastern and central cities, and in non-resource cities; e) further analysis shows that the pilot policies of new urbanization have a spatial spillover effect on GTFP, and the policy spillover effects are mainly affected through mechanisms such as industrial structure upgrading in neighboring municipalities.DiscussionThis study provides new ideas for the next stage of sustainable regional green development in China, thus promoting China's high-quality development with theoretical and practical significance.…”
