Water security reframed using Water System Justice and Earth system boundaries, foundations, and corridor by Joyeeta Gupta, Joyeeta Gupta, Hilmer J. Bosch, Luc van Vliet

“…Applied quantitatively, this framework provides safe and just quantitative boundaries to water use (climate change and nutrients), and quantifies what is necessary to meet the minimum human rights of people worldwide for water (for WASH, food, energy, infrastructure) and translates this into pressures on the water system using the same units—thereby delineating a corridor of water that can be equitably shared by people. …”

Study on Occurrence Mechanism of Coal Pillar in L-Shaped Zone during Fully Mechanized Mining Period and Prevention Technology by Zeng-qiang Yang, Hong-mei Wang, De-quan Sun, Xian-jian Ma, Ming-bao Xu, Nai-xin Si

“…The results show that a coal pillar with some confining pressure in the L-shaped zone is established by FLAC3D numerical simulation software, and the numerical simulation results indicate that the change in static load has a greater effect than dynamic load on coal pillar unstable failure; the static load plays a role in storing energy, and dynamic load plays a role in inducing rock burst; the bolt-mesh-cable support and high-pressure water jet unloading combined technology is put forward to prevent rock burst in roadways, and the numerical simulation results show that stress distribution of surrounding rock meets the model of strong-soft-strong (3S) structure, and the moment distribution is reasonable. …”
