Rapid fabrication and dissolution of pressed 58Ni/Mg matrix targets for 55Co production by Jonathan Siikanen, Stefan Milton, Klas Bratteby, Wilson Lin, Jonathan W. Engle, Emma Jussing, Thuy A. Tran

“…Conclusion We present a novel, simple, and rapid method to produce ⁵⁵Co with pressed ⁵⁸Ni/Mg matrix targets enabling faster target fabrication and dissolution. By using a simple hydraulic press, mechanically stable target coins useful for solid target irradiation are fabricated within 5 min and can be dissolved in 10 min at room temperature. …”

Study on the Stability and Control of Gob-Side Entry Retaining in Paste Backfill Working Face by Changtao Xu, Xiangyu Wang, Dingchao Chen, Guanghui Wang, Zhenpeng Niu, Huixing Lu

“…This system integrates a basic bolt-mesh-cable support structure with localized reinforcement using portal hydraulic supports. Field industrial practices demonstrated that after applying this comprehensive control technology, the convergence of roof and floor was approximately 190 mm and the convergence of two ribs was about 140 mm, effectively ensuring the stability of surrounding rock in GER with paste backfill working face.…”

Experimental and modeled analysis of contaminant mobility in coal fly ash landfills under continuous rainfall regimes by Shuyuan Xu, Yongbo Zhang, Jiangbo Guo, Aijing Wu, Xinghua Xiang, Haodong Sun

“…The greatest release of the ions occurred at a Ma’lan loess compaction coefficient of 0.943 and a hydraulic conductivity of 6.031 × 10− 7. Under extreme rainfall conditions, the contaminants and heavy metals in the fly ash leachate migrate to a maximum depth of 56 cm in the compacted soil layer, with Pb reaching a depth of 28 cm, nickel 23 cm, cadmium 9 cm and hexavalent chromium 5 cm to meet Class III groundwater quality standards. …”

Examining the complementarity in belowground water use between different varieties and ages of Arabica coffee plants and dominant shade tree species in an organic agroecosystem by Lyssette Elena Muñoz-Villers, Friso Holwerda, M. Susana Alvarado-Barrientos, Josie Geris, Todd E. Dawson

“…The absence or potential presence of competition for soil water in the studied coffee plants was investigated using a combination of stomatal conductance measurements and modeling, supported by leaf and root hydraulic trait data. Results show that the observed relative and absolute plant water uptake patterns provide evidence of vertical complementarity in belowground water use between coffee and shade trees during the dry season. …”

Mine Flooding History of a Regional Below-Drainage Coalfield Dominated by Barrier Leakage (1970–2014) by Joseph J. Donovan, Eric F. Perry

“…Flooding is visualized using both water level hydrographs and mine flooding maps with the latter constructed assuming mine water hydraulic continuity between one or more mines. The earliest flooding formed small pools within near-surface mines closed prior to 1962 yet still pumped following closure to minimize leaking into adjacent still-active workings. …”

Three-Dimensional Modelling of Desorbed Gas Volume and Comparison to Gas Production Rate in the Montney Plays, Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin by Gihun Song, Hyun Suk Lee, Hyundon Shin

“…Shale reservoir has been focused among unconventional resources since the first extraction of free and adsorbed gas from the low-permeable Barnett Shale via horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. In the beginning of production, free gas was rapidly recovered through an artificial fracture system, and then, desorbed gas followed at the final stage due to a decrease of reservoir pressure. …”
