Field Measurement and Study on Overburden Fracture and Surface Subsidence Law of Solid Filling Mining under Buildings by Zhiyong Fu, Lujie Zhou, Kai Yu, Wanzhen Li, Hu Chen

“…In order to predict the surface subsidence scientifically in solid filling mining, it is necessary to establish a complete subsidence prediction model and parameter system according to the evolution law of overburden structure and strata movement characteristics. Mine pressure monitoring and borehole peeping show that the overburden in solid filling mining is mainly a bending zone with relatively complete layered structure, and the overburden only develops a certain height of fault zone near the roof, without collapse. …”

Improvement of the Quality of Surimi Products with Overdrying Potato Starches by Tangfei Li, Jianxin Zhao, Jie Huang, Wenhai Zhang, Jianlian Huang, Daming Fan, Hao Zhang

“…In terms of the chemical interactions, the overdrying potato starch increased the amount of hydrogen bond and nondisulfide covalent bond and decreased the amount of ionic bond, which might stabilize the network structure of protein gel. The analysis of Raman Spectroscopy shows that more α-helices turn into random coin structure after the starch was added, which is conducive to higher strength and a better water retention ability of the surimi product.…”
