Research on Locomotive Automatic Transport System for Steel Mills by LIU Guangyong, HU Chunhui, LIU Jianshu, TANG Tao, HUANG Sheng

“…In subsequent implementation within a steel mill, the proposed system enabled multiple functions, including intelligent dispatching, intelligent environmental perception, automatic coupling of running locomotives, stopping with a precision of ±20 cm, and detection of obstacles (larger than 0.3 mm × 0.3 mm × 0.3 mm) at distances ranging from 20 m to 150 m ahead with both error and omission rates lower than 3%. This solution also effectively reduced labor intensity and safety risks for operators, and achieving automatic and intelligent railway transport operations within this steel mill.…”

Writing skills improvement and development of critical thinking by S. Revutska

“…A detailed list of technics is offered that are parts of the Complex for Improving Writing Skills, which consists of 3 stages (1) accumulation of information from various sources; 2) research/processing of information (comparison, analysis, evaluation, ordering; sorting; testing different points of view, different possibilities and justification); 3) conclusion, recognition and analysis of errors, decision-making). The Complex for Improving Writing Skills aligns with the core requirements for fostering critical thinking while enhancing communicative competence in foreign language classes at higher education institutions.…”

Experimental determination of effective porosity in terrestrial shale reservoirs and logging characterization methods： A case study of shale of Es4UC in Boxing Subsag by CHEN Bing

“…Two conventional logging evaluation models were established， containing lithology indicators （natural Gamma） and physical property indicators （interval transit time and neutron porosity）. The calculation results have high accuracy， and the relative errors are all below ±12%， which meets the requirements of reserve estimation regulation， achieving accurate characterization of effective porosity of shale reservoirs， and the models were successfully applied in reserve reporting.…”

Statistical damage constitutive model of soft rock based on Improved Hoek-Brown strength criterion by Zhenhua Wang, Zecheng Wang, Xin Chen, Gang Wang, Dongwei Li

“…An improved Hoek-Brown strength criterion has been proposed to characterize the critical confining pressure effect of soft rock, with tensile strength in the tensile zone aligning with experimental results, showing an error of less than 5%. By assuming that the micro-unit strength of soft rock follows a two-parameter Weibull distribution, we constructed a statistical damage constitutive model for soft rock in mountain tunnels. …”
