Here, it is believed that the intensity of mining has a slight influence on landscape patterns.
Here, it is believed that the intensity of mining has moderately impacted the continuity of landscapes.
The enhancing intensity of mining does not yield a significant function to spatial allocation of landscapes.
It is believed that the investment intensity of mining activities is enhanced after 2002 and structural intensity after 2009.
In terms of the three aspects of disturbance, continuity and sustainability, the intensity of mining activities alters the shape, distribution and proximity relation of patches most, but the number and richness of landscape types cannot be primarily changed.
Figures 5, 6 and 7 show that the changes of landscape indices in 1996 greatly differ from those in 2005 and 2012, Here, it is believed that the intensity of mining has seriously impacted landscape patterns.
Statistical data from the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) indicate that, with the increasing intensity of mining operations, the pneumoconiosis detection rate among workers exposed to coal dust in underground coal mines in the USA rose from 4%% in 1999 to 9%% in 2007 (Hall 2008).
Although the size of bacterial cells and photo bleaching is limiting for characterizing the Min profiles in vivo in such detail as it is possible in vitro, the intensity peak of MinE at the trail of the Min pattern was also observed in E. coli and is generally referred to as 'MinE ring'.
Despite this, one Stanford University graduate was able to carry out research comparing the energy intensity of mined diamonds at BHP Billiton's Ekati mine in Canada against the lab-created diamonds produced by Gemesis in the US.
Watering, water flushing, water mist spray and water barriers (Fig. 2) have been extensively used to prevent and reduce intensity of coal mine explosions in China.
