The water year based on minimizing the terrestrial water storage variation and its validity by Changwu Cheng, Wenzhao Liu, Qiang Li, Tingting Ning, Haixiang Zhou, Zhaotao Mu, Kang Du, Kai Wang, Xiaoyang Han

“…Consequently, July marked the start of the water year for CLP catchments. (2) Disregarding ∆S at the calendar year scale caused significant errors in estimating ET (MAE = 51.16 mm yr−1), while the MAE decreased by 35.40% at the water year scale. (3) The relative contributions of precipitation (P), potential evapotranspiration (ET0), and w to ET change deviated significantly from the actual values when ignoring ∆S at the calendar year scale. …”

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 this article, the initial desorption characteristics of methane in coals with different moisture contents were investigated using a self-developed experimental setup. 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). …”

The essence of the inheritance division agreement and its place in the system of civil law contracts by O. Ye. Kukhariev

“…The article reveals the essence of the contract for division of inheritance through a set of its defining features: 1) it is concluded after the expiry of the period for acceptance of the inheritance, but before the heirs receive a certificate of inheritance; 2) the parties are the heirs who have accepted the inheritance in the manner and within the time limits specified by civil law; 3) it has a much smaller, auxiliary value compared to the role of a civil law contract, as it generates legal consequences in conjunction with other legal facts; 4) in the presence of a nasciturus, the contract may be concluded only after the birth of a child; 5) the division of the inheritance is carried out taking into account the preemptive right of individual heirs to receive inheritance property in kind. …”
