Stress State of Support System in Temporary Roadway in Unstable Rock Mass
The authors estimate stress state in the support system and in rocks nearby a roadway driven in unstable rock mass and when the voids and cavities in the roadway roof are filled with hardening foam. The calcul...

Kinetic Measurements of Singlet Oxygen Phosphorescence in Hydrogen-Free Solvents by Time-Resolved Photon Counting
Solvents lacking hydrogen atoms are very convenient models for elucidating the properties of singlet oxygen, since the lifetime of singlet oxygen in these solvents reaches tens milliseconds. Measuring intrinsi...

Stress state of rocks surrounding excavations under variable Young’s modulus
Deep-level mining needs extra data on physical behavior of rocks at great depths (under high stresses). Without such data, any computations for deep-level technologies based on analogy with shallowdepth techno...

Accounting for depth-wise linear change of stresses in the intact rock mass in geomechanical problems
The authors discuss formulation of boundary conditions in problems on stress-strain state of rocks around an underground excavation. The classical formulations neglect the presupposition of linearity of stress...

On the mechanism of photosensitized luminescence of singlet oxygen dimols in air-saturated pigment solutions
Luminescence of singlet oxygen dimols (1O2)2 was studied in aerobic solutions of a nonfluorescent photosensitizer phenalenone in CCl4 and C6F6 using a setup with a mechanical phosphoroscope and relatively low rat...

Primary mechanisms of photoactivation of molecular oxygen. History of development and the modern status of research
This review starts from a brief historical account devoted to the principles of the Bach-Engler peroxidation theory and experiments and ideas which led A. N. Bach to its creation. Then, the discovery of photod...
