Analysis on the Difference of Energy Evolution in the Process of Energy Storage Failure of Strong Coal Rush Rock Samples under Different Adaptive Modification Regulation Measures by Fangfang Zhang

“…The results show that different modification regulation measures can effectively change the physical and mechanical parameters of target rock samples and realize “hard rock softening or soft rock hardening.” Samples under different modification measures are classified as initial consolidation stage, elastic stage, stage of plastic deformation, yield failure stage, and late stage, the energy evolution is roughly the same as the sample complete natural condition, but the yield failure stage and the destruction of late stage have an obvious difference, which provides favorable conditions for impact ground pressure to prevent. …”

The evolution of the Gulf Coopera-tion Council approaches to security issues after the Arab Spring by E. S. Melkumyan

“…The author notes that the GCC countries still view Iran as the main source of all these threats; moreover, con-sidering substantial strengthening of Iran’s infl uence in the Middle East their position has even hardened. Tehran is accused of meddling in the internal aff airs of the GCC member-states, supporting illegal Shiite groups operating on their territory, and instigating religious discord. …”

Performance of concrete containing different ratios of metakaolin and magnetized water by Mostafa M. Keshta, Mohamed M. Yousry Elshikh, Ahmed M. Elkerany

“…Two sets of concrete mixes were prepared: one with MK (ranging from 0 % to 20 % as a replacement and additive) mixed with ordinary tap water (TW), and the other with the same MK percentages mixed with MW. The results of the hardened concrete tests indicated that the optimal MK ratio for concrete was 10 + % (10 % as an addition to cement), whether or not MW was used. …”
