Underground reservoir technology for coal mines can realize the coordinated development of coal exploitation and water protection in water-shortage-prone areas. The seepage effect of the floor seriously affects the safety of underground reservoirs under the action of mining damage and seepage pressure. Focusing on the problem of floor seepage in underground reservoirs, a spatial mechanical model of underground reservoirs was established.

A linear distyrylanthracene derivative (DDATAn) with two diaminotriazine (DAT) groups acting as the hydrogen bond (H-bond) units was designed and synthesized in order to construct flexible organic porous crystals. H-bonds between the DAT moieties helped the molecules to construct a double interpenetrated two-dimensional layer, and the stacking between layers provided a H-bonded organic framework (X-HOF-3) with one-dimensional solvent channels. When X-HOF-3 was placed in contact with methanol, the fluorescent colors of the HOF exhibited an apparent bathochromic shift.

A dumbbell-shaped compound (TPAD) with four 2,4-diaminotriazine moieties as H-bond units and a benzene ring as a bridge group was found to form hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) with strong cyan fluorescence. An energy acceptor, 6,6',6″,6‴-(((benzo[][1,2,5]thiadiazole-4,7-diylbis-(4,1-phenylene))bis(azanetriyl))tetrakis(benzene-4,1-diyl))tetrakis(1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) (BTAD), with the same molecular skeleton as TPAD and a longer emission wavelength could homogeneously distribute within the framework of TPAD through occupying the locations of TPAD. As a result, two-component HOFs (TC-HOFs) were formed.

Guest molecules may endow porous materials with new or enhanced properties as well as functions. Here, a porous hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) constructed from a three-armed triphenylamine derivative is used to investigate how guests regulate photoluminescence and trigger force-stimuli response. It was found that guest solvents in pores might regulate HOF's luminescence.

Some electrophysiological studies support the concept of independent neurobiological substrates for saccades and vergence, namely saccadic and vergence burst neurons. Discerning the interaction of these two components is complicated by the near-synchronous occurrence of saccadic and vergence components.

The relative contribution to this compensatory response by adjustment of the vestibulo-ocular reflex gain (Gvor), visual tracking mechanisms including prediction, and convergence is debated. We studied horizontal eye movements induced by sinusoidal 0.

The velocity waveforms of eye-in-head saccades showed a skew ratio (acceleration period/saccade duration) that varied as a function of saccade size and duration. The velocity waveforms of head saccades showed a more constant skew of approximately 0.

For memory-guided responses, convergence components were slowed proportionally more than corresponding saccadic components, compared with visually-guided responses. This result is consistent with independent saccadic and vergence systems, and supports a Hering-type model for saccade-vergence interactions.

Partly for methodological reasons, laboratory analysis of saccades has mainly focused on movements of 20 degrees or less. By measuring the velocity waveform of large saccades, it is possible to examine more closely the way in which brain stem and cerebellum guide the eye to the target.

Methods: Movements of the upper eyelids and eyes were measured in two healthy subjects using the magnetic search coil technique during horizontal and vertical eye rotations, eyeblinks, and lid closure. Corresponding signal changes were recorded simultaneously on the electroencephalogram (EEG).
We investigated relationships between saccadic and vergence components of gaze shifts as 10 human subjects switched visual fixation between targets aligned in the midsagittal plane that lay in different vertical directions and at different distances. When fixation was shifted between a higher distant target and a lower near target, peak convergence velocity followed peak vertical saccadic velocity by a median interval of 12 ms. However, when fixation was shifted between a lower distant target and a higher near target, peak convergence velocity followed peak vertical saccadic velocity by a median interval of 76 ms.

Many affected patients have difficulty initiating saccades, and the movements themselves may be small, making it difficult to make comparisons with control subjects. A large-field optokinetic stimulus may elicit quick phases of nystagmus in patients who cannot initiate voluntary saccades, but these movements may also be small.

Purpose: Optokinetic stimulation induces nystagmus that can be used to test the saccadic and visual-tracking systems in some patients with voluntary gaze palsies. The purpose of this study was to characterize vertical optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) in normal human subjects, comparing the dynamic properties of the quick phases with voluntary saccades of similar size and measuring the slow-phase responses to visual stimuli with a range of spatial and temporal frequencies.
Methods: Vertical OKN and saccades were recorded in 10 healthy adult subjects (age range, 24-54 years) using the magnetic search coil technique.
Purpose: To compare responses to vertical and horizontal optokinetic (OK) stimulation in patients with disorders of ocular alignment.
Methods: Using the magnetic search coil technique, we measured horizontal and vertical rotations of both eyes in six patients with strabismus since childhood and eight normal subjects. The OK stimulus subtended 72 degrees horizontally and 60 degrees vertically, consisted of black-and-white stripes with a spatial frequency of 0.
Purpose: To characterize the dynamic properties of vergence eye movements made between near and far targets that were alternately illuminated with predictable timing.
Methods: Using the magnetic search coil technique, eye movements were measured in 10 normal subjects as they shifted their point of fixation between a near green LED and a distant red laser spot, both aligned on subjects' midlines. Targets were alternately illuminated every 1.
