Suaeda salsa calli cultured in darkness for 28 days were transferred to Murashige and Skoog (MS) media containing 0.5 mg l -1 Thidiazuron (TDZ) and 1.0 mg l -1 naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) under different light conditions for 10 days to investigate effect of light on betacyanin accumulation and its relation to activity and expression of tyrosinase and expression of dopa-4,5-dioxygenase gene (DODA). Both light quality and quantity affected betacyanin synthesis of S. salsa calli. 80 lmol m -2 s -1 of white light intensity was optimal for cell growth and betacyanin accumulation of S. salsa calli. DODA mRNA levels and tyrosinase activity were consistent with the response of betacyanin content to different light quality. However, the protein levels of tyrosinase extracted from S. salsa calli response to different light quality were constant. These results suggest that betacyanin metabolism in S. salsa calli is regulated by different light quality through the regulation of genes such as DODA and tyrosinase activity but not via alteration of the protein amount of tyrosinase.

Suaeda salsa calluses cultured in darkness for 28 d were transferred to Murashige and Skoog (MS) media containing various growth regulators under white light conditions for 10 d to investigate cell growth, betacyanin accumulation, and expression of dopa-4,5-dioxygenase (DODA). Callus growth was markedly promoted when 0.2 mg·L −1 2,4-D and 0.5 mg·L −1 6-BA were added to the MS medium. Surprisingly, of the auxins tested, IAA had no effect on betacyanin content, but 2,4-D strongly decreased betacyanin content. Betacyanin content was positively correlated with 6-BA concentrations in the range of 0.1-2.0 mg·L −1 . DODA mRNA levels were consistent with the response of betacyanin content to exogenous growth regulators. These results suggest that betacyanin metabolism in S. salsa calluses is regulated under white light conditions by growth regulators through the regulation of genes such as DODA that are involved in betacyanin synthesis.

Coal and gas outburst is one of the main gas hazards in coal mines. However, due to the risks of the coal and gas outburst, the field test is difficult to complete. Therefore, an effective approach to studying the mechanism and development of outburst is to conduct the similar physical simulation. However, the similarity criteria and similar materials in outburst are the key factors which restrict the development of physical simulation. To solve those problems, this paper has established similarity criteria base on mechanics model, solid-fluid coupling model and energy model, and presented high similar materials. Combining with three groups of similar number, and considering similar mechanical parameters and deformation and failure regularity, the similarity criteria of outburst is determined on the basis of the energy model. According to those criteria, we put forward a similar material consists of pulverized coal, cement, sand, activated carbon, and water. The similar material has high compressive strength and the accordant characteristics with the raw coal, include density, porosity, adsorption, desorption. The new research is promising for preventing and controlling gas hazards in the future.

The permeability of coal reservoirs prominently determines methane flow in reservoirs. A large amount of coal reservoirs containing methane, however, have low permeability because pores in reservoirs are sealed. To solve this issue, we investigated the pore structure and permeability law of coal through contrastive analysis of the microstructure and macrostructure before and after acidizing, using ASAP 2020 and triaxial servo-controlled seepage equipment. An analysis of the experimental data revealed the mechanism and the key parameters of acidizing, such as acid mass fraction and acidizing time. In addition, we hold that the optimal mass fraction for the test specimens is about 12~15%. Furthermore, the acid reaction is divided into three stages according to characteristics of the reaction progress. An analysis of the reaction kinetics of "HCl-HF" states that the significant factors will impact the process of reaction, like the composition of coal, surface area of the acid-coal reaction, mass fraction of acids, and environment of the reaction system. The results provide a new idea and research method for further enhancing permeability and gas extraction.

Coal and gas outburst is one of the major serious natural disasters during underground coal, and the shock air flow produced by outburst has a huge threat on the mine safety. In order to study the two-phase flow of a mixture of pulverized coal and gas of a mixture of pulverized coal and gas migration properties and its shock effect during the process of coal and gas outburst, the coal samples of the outburst coal seam in Yuyang Coal Mine, Chongqing, China were selected as the experimental subjects. By using the self-developed coal and gas outburst simulation test device, we simulated the law of two-phase flow of a mixture of pulverized coal and gas in the roadway network where outburst happened. The results showed that the air in the roadway around the outburst port is disturbed by the shock wave, where the pressure and temperature are abruptly changed. For the initial gas pressure of 0.35 MPa, the air pressure in different locations of the roadway fluctuated and eventually remain stable, and the overpressure of the outburst shock wave was about 20~35 kPa. The overpressure in the main roadway and the distance from the outburst port showed a decreasing trend. The highest value of temperature in the roadway increased by 0.25 • C and the highest value of gas concentration reached 38.12% during the experiment. With the action of shock air flow, the pulverized coal transportation in the roadway could be roughly divided into three stages, which are the accelerated movement stage, decelerated movement stage and the particle settling stage respectively. Total of 180.7 kg pulverized coal of outburst in this experiment were erupted, and most of them were accumulated in the main roadway. Through the analysis of the law of outburst shock wave propagation, a shock wave propagation model considering gas desorption efficiency was established. The relationships of shock wave overpressure and outburst intensity, gas desorption rate, initial gas pressure, cross section and distance of the roadway were obtained, which can provide a reference for the protection of coal and gas outburst and control of catastrophic ventilation.Keywords: coal and gas outburst; laboratory simulation experiment; two-phase flow of a mixture of pulverized coal and gas; shock wave; propagation model
