Optimization of cross-sectional shape and support parameters of headgate in fully mechanized coal seam with large dip angle and close distance by Kun PAN, Wenjun JU, Junchao WANG, Housheng JIA, Biao HOU, Yinwei WANG, Zhiming ZHANG

“…The research results indicate that under the conditions of intense mining of steeply inclined coal seams, regardless of how the roadway cross-section changes, the form of surrounding rock failure always exhibits the maximum depth of failure towards the roof, and due to the strong stress sensitivity of the plastic zone near the upper working face area, the range and depth of the plastic zone reach a maximum, However, there are significant differences in the overall failure patterns and distribution ranges of the plastic zone among the three cross-sectional shapes. …”

In the mirror of transitology: The politics of power alternation in the Caucasus and Central Asia by S. A. Pritchin

“…All this shows the limits of classical transitology theory when it comes to political transformations in the post-Soviet space, which it is unable to explain, yet alone to predict their possible future development. Thus, there is a strong need to develop new theoretical frameworks that would better accommodate particularities of the regional political systems.…”
