Use of the Equivalent Mining Height Method for Understanding Overlying Strata Movement and Stress Distribution in an Isolated Coal Pillar by Yang Chen, Dong Li, Fuxing Jiang, Lili Zhang, Cunwen Wang, Sitao Zhu

“…Three goafs will evolve into a large carving goaf, and the vertical cracks on the outer side of the carving goaf intersect with one another to form “fracture band”. The research acquires the key points for prevention in mining the isolated coal pillar with filling method and provides guidelines to implement this technique and to prevent rock burst.…”

Compact Multiband Interdigital-Coupled-Fed Planar Antenna with Stepped-Impedance Structures for Mobile Handsets by Tao Zhou, Yazi Cao, Zhiqun Cheng

“…This antenna is capable of generating five resonant modes to cover the ISM 915/2400/5800 MHz bands, GPS band, and IMT C-band, respectively. The five resonant frequencies covered by the proposed antenna can be adjusted individually by controlling the impedances and electrical lengths of the corresponding stepped-impedance sections. …”
