An Integration Method of Bursting Strain Energy and Seismic Velocity Tomography for Coal Burst Hazard Assessment
AbstractThe occurrence of coal burst in underground coal mines is complex, abrupt, and diverse, and the evaluation and prediction of coal burst hazard is the premise of effective prevention and control of coal burst. In this study, a coal burst carrier system model under the synergistic action of roof, coal seams, and floor was established, and the evolution of coal burst in underground coal mines was discussed based on the stress-vibration-energy coupling principle. On this basis, an integration method of bursting strain energy and seismic velocity tomography for coal burst assessment was proposed. With the deep and complex panel in a mine as the research object, the coal burst risk of the panel during excavation was evaluated in time and space domains, respectively. Results showed that the bursting strain energy and the active seismic velocity tomography technology can accurately identify both the positive anomalies and the negative anomalies of stress field and energy field in the mining period. Moreover, the method can not only evaluate the coal burst risk of the panel in the temporal domain but also predict the area with potential strong seismic events in the spatial domain. The research conclusions can accurately illustrate the whole complex evolution process of coal burst in underground coal mines
Discrimination of Microseismic Events in Coal Mine Using Multifractal Method and Moment Tensor Inversion
Discrimination of various microseismic (MS) events induced by blasting and mining in coal mines is significant for the evaluation and forecasting of rock bursts. In this paper, multifractal and moment tensor inversion methods were used to investigate the waveform characteristics and focal mechanisms of different MS events in a more quantitative way. The multifractal spectrum calculation results indicate that the three types of MS waveform have different distribution ranges in the multifractal parameters of ∆α and Δf(α). The results show that the blasting schemes also have a great influence on MS waveform characteristics. Consequently, the multifractal parameters of ∆α and Δf(α) can be used to discriminate different MS events. Further, the focal mechanisms of MS events were calculated by seismic moment tensor inversion. The results show that an explosion is not the dominant mechanism of deep-hole blasting MS events, and the CLVD and DC components account for an important proportion, indicating that some additional processes occur during blasting. Moreover, the coal-rock fracture MS events are characterized by compression implosion or compression/shear implosion mixed focal mechanisms, while the overburden movement MS events are tensile explosion or tensile/shear explosion mixed focal mechanisms. The focal mechanisms and nodal plane parameters have close relationships with the inducing factors and occurrence processes of MS events
Mechanism of Coal Burst Triggered by Disturbing Mining-Induced Stress: An Experimental Investigation
The true triaxial test can accurately simulate the dynamic and static load superposition environment of deep mining and then reproduce the spatial and temporal evolution process of coal-rock dynamic disasters. This study used a self-developed true triaxial coal-rock dynamic behavior test system to investigate the dynamic failure characteristics and mechanism of coal bursts under different mining-induced stress disturbances. The results show that the perturbation duration of the coal samples under quasi-static load decreases with the increase of the disturbance rate, and the perturbation stress level increases first and then decreases. The coal samples can accumulate higher strain energy and show progressive and dynamic failure. The perturbation duration and stress peak of the coal sample under the cycle load decreased with the increase of the cycle amplitude and frequency, and the coal sample first spalled off on the free surface. The damage then developed internally until the coal burst. The perturbation duration and stress peak of coal samples decrease with the increase of transient stress and the perturbation stress levels. The dynamic failure process of coal samples is straightforward, and the strength of coal burst is violent and is more difficult to predict. The conclusions obtained help to deepen the understanding of the triggering mechanism of coal bursts

Creation of New Oregano Genotypes with Different Terpene Chemotypes via Inter- and Intraspecific Hybridization
Oregano is a medicinal and aromatic plant of value in the pharmaceutical, food, feed additive, and cosmetic industries. Oregano breeding is still in its infancy compared with traditional crops. In this study, we evaluated the phenotypes of 12 oregano genotypes and generated F1 progenies by hybridization. The density of leaf glandular secretory trichomes and the essential oil yield in the 12 oregano genotypes varied from 97–1017 per cm2 and 0.17–1.67%, respectively. These genotypes were divided into four terpene chemotypes: carvacrol-, thymol-, germacrene D/β-caryophyllene-, and linalool/β-ocimene-type. Based on phenotypic data and considering terpene chemotypes as the main breeding goal, six oregano hybrid combinations were performed. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were developed based on unpublished whole-genome sequencing data of Origanum vulgare, and 64 codominant SSR primers were screened on the parents of the six oregano combinations. These codominant primers were used to determine the authenticity of 40 F1 lines, and 37 true hybrids were identified. These 37 F1 lines were divided into six terpene chemotypes: sabinene-, β-ocimene-, γ-terpinene-, thymol-, carvacrol-, and p-cymene-type, four of which (sabinene-, β-ocimene-, γ-terpinene-, and p-cymene-type) were novel (i.e., different from the chemotypes of parents). The terpene contents of 18 of the 37 F1 lines were higher than those of their parents. The above results lay a strong foundation for the creating of new germplasm resources, constructing of genetic linkage map, and mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of key horticultural traits, and provide insights into the mechanism of terpenoid biosynthesis in oregano
Facile Fabrication of Silica Glass Embedded with NiO Nanoparticles by 3D Printing Technology and its Optical Nonlinearity
Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in glass matrixes exhibit special optical, electrical, or magnetic properties. Despite various approaches of encapsulating NPs in different kinds of glasses to prepare functional composite materials, there still exist challenges in fabricating efficiency and performance for silica glass made by traditional methods, such as sol–gel or melt quenching. Herein, the authors report a facile way to fabricate metal oxide NP‐doped silica glass by digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing technology for the first time. Different from common ion doping in silica glass, metal acetylacetonates that can be thermally decomposed to corresponding metal oxides innocuously, are chosen as a general precursor. Then, the representative nickel(II) acetylacetonate is introduced during the 3D printing process. The subsequent heat treatment generates a homogeneous distribution of NiO NPs in silica glass and it also exhibits optical nonlinear effect. The results provide a facile method for developing functional metal oxide‐doped glasses as well as the freeform fabrication of optoelectronic devices based on them
