Pressure-ControlledDynamic Conversion of Replacement–DisplacementMechanisms During ECBM Recovery
Abstract Gas injection pressure is a key parameter controlling enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery, as it directly influences gas adsorption–desorption, diffusion-seepage, and the dominance of replacement-displacement mechanisms. In this study, carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitro...

Abstract Variation in daylight hours may shape light-dependent behaviours both across seasons and among latitudinally distinct breeding colonies. We investigated the influence of photoperiod variation on chick provisioning behaviour in a high-latitude seabird, the Manx shearwater...

Purpose This study was aimed at investigating the mechanical responses and failure characteristics of soft–hard interbedded rock samples under uniaxial compression and Brazilian splitting tests with varying strength ratios between the hard and soft layers (i.e. anisotropy degrees...

Irrigation water management in arid systems requires spatially distributed estimates of crop evapotranspiration (ET) that fixed crop coefficients cannot provide. The actual ET of flood-irrigated rice (Oryza sativa L.) on the arid northern coast of Peru was mapped with the METRIC...

To address the difficulty of roof control in longwall paste backfill mining and to better capture the backfill’s ‘sequential bearing’ effect, this study proposes an elastic foundation beam model. Based on the Gaohe Coal Mine, the “coal-support-backfill” model incorporates the tim...
