Disaster-causing mechanism and prevention and control vision orientation of different types of coal seam floor water disasters in China by Yifan ZENG, Huicong ZHU, Qiang WU, Houzhu WANG, Xianjie FU, Tieji WANG, Xirui WANG, Jiulin FAN, Rongjie HU, Xiangjun CAI, Xuedong KAN, Shengbao GAO

“…At the same time, with the optimization and regulation of coal resource development layout, the negative orientation of coal seam floor water damage is becoming more and more significant. The synergistic effect of high confined water hydraulic drive and strong sensitive defect structure activation leads to a significant increase in the threat of macroscopic dynamic representation of coal seam floor water damage, which has become an endogenous resistance to the high-quality transformation and development of coal resources in China. …”

Worlds Apart? Unemployment Policy and Politics in Britain and France by Daniel Clegg, Jochen Clasen

“…However, behind the well-known global figures on which this argument usually rests, we can identify a considerably more complex reality. The characterisation of each country’s unemployment policies must also take into consideration more ambiguous variations, which appear to depend as much on the impact of inherited institutional structures as on truly antagonistic values.…”

Study on the performance of high-modulus asphalt based on rheological properties and cracking behavior by Mengqi Jing, Beibei Zhang, Haihai Zhuang

“…Under large strain conditions, the interactions within the molecular network of high-modulus asphalt weaken, making its structure more prone to damage. Furthermore, high-modulus asphalt lacks sufficient flexibility and relaxation capability, resulting in a heightened risk of cracking. …”
