Simulation and experiment of leakage and diffusion of natural gas pipelines with different burial depths under different pressures by Chengbin Zhang, Yaoqiang Hu, Zhao Dong, Zhaofeng Yang, Dongrui Yi

“…The results show that the CH4 gas mole fraction curve at 0.03 m and 0.05 m below the leakage point fluctuates sharply during the second to third second of leakage, with the CH4 gas mole fraction fluctuating by about 7%. The buried depth has the greatest influence on CH4 in the leakage point range of 0.05 m, with the CH4 gas mole fraction above and below the leakage hole differing by nearly 10 times in numerical value. …”

A qualitative study exploring experiences of treatment in paediatric rheumatology - children’s, young people’s, parents’ and carers’ perspectives by Kassie Gracella Putri, Sunil Sampath, Charlotte Lucy Richardson, Alice McCloskey, Adam Pattison Rathbone

“…Behaviours were influenced through somatic factors (pain, function), social factors (advice from health professionals, encouragement from friends, family and teachers, practicality of using treatment in relation to school, work and finance) and cognitive factors (fear of needles, fear of specific medications, beliefs about necessity). Conclusions Collectively, findings demonstrate experiences of medical treatment reflect the nature of many paediatric rheumatology conditions, oscillating between periods of positive and negative trajectories. …”
