Moisture Content on Methane Desorption Characteristics in Coal and Its Effect on Outburst Prediction by Peng Li, Yaolin Cao, Xuelong Li, Fakai Wang, Zhongguang Sun, Qinke Huang, Deyou Chen

“…In order to collect enough methane pressure data for analysis and calculation, a self-developed real-time data acquisition system with a time interval of about 10 ms was used in the experiment to calculate the initial gas desorption amount and the initial gas velocity diffusion index (ΔP). Experiments show that coal with low water content and methane outburst is more dangerous than coal with high water content and outburst; and the degree of outburst of coal and methane decreases exponentially with the increase of moisture content.…”

The Action Mode: Mile 22 and the Tension of Hypermediated Embodiment by Jonah Jeng

“…Everyday phenomenal experience, in its delineation of a unified spatial field populated with bounded physical objects, exists in palpable tension with the subperceptual digital networks and data flows that underpin contemporary society and are indexed by aesthetics of hypermediacy. I contend that cinema, which simultaneously appeals to phenomenal experience and has itself become permeated by hypermediacy and the related aesthetic tendency of post-continuity, is a key site for expressing this larger cultural tension. …”
