The large size shearer drum in the large mining height working face generates more obvious turbulent wind in cutting the coal body, which causes the local wind speed of the working face to change, and the horizontal diffusion of dust particles to the sidewalk area. In order to clarify the influence mechanism of cutting turbulent wind on the dust mass concentration distribution along the working face with large mining height, a coupled mathematical model of airflow and dust was constructed by numerical simulation method for 85219 working face, and the airflow distribution, dust migration and dust mass concentration distribution at the height of the breathing zone were studied. The results show that, compared with the flow field under system ventilation only, the partial velocity of negative drift increases significantly at the front and back of the drum and at the moving frame, and a “wind drift zone” with negative drift wind velocity value of -1.06 m/s is generated near the drum. Under the disturbance of cutting turbulent wind, dust masses with a mass concentration of more than 151.85 mg /m3 at the front and back rollers have transverse dispersion to the sidewalk area. In the state of downwind coal cutting, the ability of cutting turbulent wind at the front rollers to induce transverse dispersion of cutting coal dust is higher than that at the back rollers. The dust mass concentration in the breathing zone of the sidewalk near the front roller was increased by 64.77% compared with the condition of system ventilation only. The comparison between the simulated data and the field-measured data shows that the relative error is less than 12.57%, and the simulated data is relatively accurate. Based on this, a dust-bearing air flow dust control device shearer is proposed, which is applied in the field and its dust control effect is tested. The dust removal efficiency in the working area of the working face is more than 78.31%, and the total dust removal efficiency is more than 89.93%.

Abstract Developing non‐precious‐metal electrocatalysts that can operate with a low overpotential at a high current density for industrial application is challenging. Heterogeneous bimetallic phosphides have attracted much interest. Despite high hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance, the ordinary oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance hinders their practical use. Herein, it is shown that Fe‐doping reverses and enlarges the interfacial electrical field at the heterojunction, turning the H intermediate favorable binding sites for HER into O intermediate favorable sites for OER. Specifically, the self‐supported heterojunction catalysts on nickel foam (CoP@Ni2P/NF and Fe‐CoP@Fe‐Ni2P/NF) are readily synthesized. They only require the overpotentials of 266 and 274 mV to drive a large current density of 1000 mA cm−2 (j1000) for HER and OER, respectively. Furthermore, a water splitting cell equipped with these electrodes only requires a voltage of 1.724 V to drive j1000 with excellent durability, demonstrating the potential of industrial application. This work offers new insights on interfacial engineering for heterojunction catalysts.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of different designs of movable parts and prosthetic materials on the stress distribution of supporting tissues in mandibular free end dentition defects using three-dimensional finite element analysis of digital Roach attachments. Material and methods: A 3D model of a patient with Kennedy class I mandibular edentulous conditions was generated, and twelve prosthesis models were applied, combining two designs of removable parts and six types of CAD/CAM restorative materials with different elastic modulus (conventional zirconia, ultra-translucent zirconia, Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Lithium disilicate, Nanoceramic resin, and resin composite (Paradigm MZ100, 3 M ESPE)). The stress distribution of abutment periodontal ligament, edentulousmucosa, and junction of attachment were analyzed using finite element analysis. Results: The stress value of the buccal neck of the periodontal ligament and the maximum compressive stress of the distal periodontal ligament of the design with clasp arms were higher than those without clasp arms, while the stress on the junction of attachment and the displacement of the mucosa in the edentulous area were smaller. Restorative materials with high elastic modulus, such as conventional zirconia and ultra-translucent zirconia, are recommended to be used as the fixed part of Roach attachment. Conclusion: CAD/CAM Roach attachments with clasp arms are recommended for the protection of mucosal soft tissue. Restorative materials with high elastic modulus, such as conventional zirconia and ultra-translucent zirconia, are recommended as the fixed part of Roach attachment for patients with free end defect of mandibular dentition. Clinical significance: This study provides references for the design with clasp arms and the selection of clinical fixed-movable prosthetic materials. Clinicians should consider the design of attachments and selection of appropriate manufacturing materials carefully to avoid negative impacts on patients' periodontal support tissues.
