Study on Gas Migration Law of Mining Coal Seam under the Influence of Normal Fault by Xiangtao Kang, Meng Tang, Mingquan Jiang, Cunliu Zhou, Jinguo Hu, Jiachi Ren, Bozhi Deng

“…Due to the existence of faults, even if the mining-induced fracture field in goaf of No. 9 coal seam is within the mining-induced pressure relief range of No. 5 coal seam, the gas concentration in the mining-induced fracture field is still high, and the variation gradient of gas concentration is large. The gas will circulate actively and accumulate easily near the fault structure, and the gas concentration at the high level of the fault is slightly higher than that at the low level. …”

Contrast of Electron Microscopy Images of Amorphous Objects by O.Ya. Svatiuk

“…It has been proposed to determine the contrast in electron microscopy image via the total electron fluxes scattered beyond the aperture diaphragm by local areas of the object under study to analyze quantitatively the amplitude (absorption) contrast of the amorphous objects with different types of heterogeneities of the atomic and continual structure. The significant properties of the determined contrast are its linear dependence on the difference of electron beam fluxes that form the image and a convenient range of variation from 0 to 1 relative units.…”
