Experimental Study on the Pore Structure of Middle- and Low-Rank Coal and Its Influence on Methane Adsorption by Gaini Jia, Ming Yang, Xuebo Zhang, Lei Liu

“…Within 1 h of methane inflation, the methane adsorption capacity of middle-rank coals such as Henan Pingdingshan (PDS) and Shanxi Wangzhuang (WZ) and Xinjiang low-rank coals (XJ) increases by 36.4%, 31.7%, and 35.8%, respectively, and as the inflation time is extended to the cumulative inflation of 10 h, the order of the increase in methane adsorption capacity is still PDS>XJ>WZ. (2) The pore types of the experimental coal samples are mostly wedge-shaped pores and ink bottle-shaped pores. …”

Regarding the Issue on Multidisciplinary Forensic Examinations to Establish the Fact of Contact Interaction by K. P. Sylenok, O. Y. Hrosheva

“…Discussion in the scientific community as to the main aspects of determining the fact of contact interaction of objects has been going on for a long time. Some scholars strongly suggest that while interaction of two or more objects, several individual independent identification tasks are being resolved and the absence of at least one individualizing feature does not provide grounds for drawing a firm conclusion on the fact of contact interaction. …”
