Sealing Form and Failure Mechanism of Deep In Situ Rock Core Pressure-Maintaining Controller by Nianhan Wu, Heping Xie, Ling Chen, Mingzhong Gao, Cong Li

“…Through theoretical analysis and experiments, (1) a seal-form discrimination method based on the chimeric curve is proposed to obtain the pressure seal conversion trend; (2) the leakage rate is exponentially related to the initial pressure, which confirms the pressure leakage principle of the pressure-maintaining controller; and (3) based on deformation failure theory for pressure-maintaining controllers, the failure mode and deformation trend are obtained through a destructive limit pressure experiment. …”

The status of Circassian princes in the 17th century: Independent Inaledes by F.A. Ozova

“…In that period, the Ottoman-Crimean coalition demanded mostly a military alliance following the adoption of the Islamic faith as their official religion, whereas the Inaledes refused to accept the fact that the religious community should grant any military, political, and economical rights to sultans and Crimean khans in Circassia. Such discrimination between the confessional and military-political factors shows that the military-political aspect played a more important role in the relations with the Circassians than the confessional one for the Ottoman-Crimean coalition in the Caucasus. …”
