Study of the Protection of Aluminum Alloy Surfaces by a Graphene-Modified Fluorocarbon Anticorrosive Coating by Peng Wang, Dayong Cai

“…When 0.8% of rGO was added, the dispersion coefficient was large, and it had a good physical insulation performance. The main reason for the reduction of the corrosion resistance was that the agglomeration of rGO made the aluminum alloy matrix and the external corrosive environment form a highly conductive circuit, thereby accelerating the corrosion of the aluminum alloy matrix.…”

Innovative gamification strategies to improve student learning outcomes in vocational high schools by Muhammad Iqbal Faza, Ranu Iskandar, Rizqi Fitri Naryanto

“…The results of this study showed that: (1) The validation results from linguists amounted to 95%, material experts amounted to 90.5%, and media experts amounted to 87.2%, meaning that the gamification learning media developed proved to be very feasible to use in learning so that students are not saturated and bored. (2) The average pre-test score was 65.44, and after learning using the gamification application, the average score was 79.56, with an increase of 14.12, and the t-test results showed a p-value of 0.00 <0.05, which means that gamification learning media has a significant impact on improving learning outcomes and increasing student interest in learning. (3) The use of gamification learning media as learning media is very good for students, as it allows students to be more independent in learning and not only rely on explanations from teachers.…”

Instability mechanism of coal pillar in steeply dipping ultra-thick coal seam “segmented and stratified” combined mining by Yong LIU, Yao YANG, Xiao WANG, Wenqiang WANG, Xuesong WU, Anye CAO, Zujun LU, Tao YANG, Zhanquan WEI

“…The main cause of pillar instability is the local stress concentration in the combined mining of “segmented and stratified” coal seam with large dip angle; based on the instability mechanism of coal pillar in the composite mining area with large dip angle and ultra-thick coal seam, the prevention and control idea of rock burst of working face and key areas, the plan of the deep hole pre-splitting blasting in the roof and the combining of near and far blasting in the coal body, pressure relief in batches and shock absorption and shock prevention is formulated, which effectively reduces the stress and energy level of the gob side and significantly reduces the “segmented and stratified” composite mining of large dip angle and ultra-thick coal seam.…”
