Research on Deformation and Failure Evolution of Deep Rock Burst Drivage Roadway Surrounding Rock under Dynamic Disturbance by Xinggang Xu, Hao Feng, Lishuai Jiang, Tao Guo, Xingyu Wu, Zequan Sun

“…The research results show that under the conditions of high stress and dynamic load disturbance, the surrounding rock deformation and failure are significant during the connection of the thick-top-coal roadway in deep, the roof is the most, the two ribs are the second, and the roadway top-coal is in an “inverted trapezoid” sag pattern. When the length of the bolts is limited or the anchoring force of the cables is not enough to effectively restrain the roof, the impact of dynamic disturbance on the plastic damage of the roof is greater than that of the two ribs and the floor, and the plastic damage of the coal seam roof affecting the surrounding rock deformation of the roadway drivage played a leading role.…”

H. G. Wells’s and E. M. Forster’s Transformative Arts: Theoretical Divergences and Formal Connections by Laurent Mellet

“…In both his essays and novels, Forster regularly considered what is now referred to as intermediality, for instance through his defence of musical forms of ‘rhythm’ and pictorial forms of ‘pattern’ in literature in Aspects of the Novel. Beyond such theoretical divergences, a first common point is to be found in the embedded nature of both concerns in characterisation and plot. …”
