Approximate solution of plastic zone in surrounding rock under three-dimensional stress field based on Drucker-Prager strength criterion by LIU Hongtao, LIANG Jialu, HAN Zijun, LIU Qinyu, QIAO Zhongjin

“…We then analyzed its implications for engineering practice based on the evolution characteristics. Results show that ① Variations in horizontal stress exerts significant impact on the plastic zone morphology of roadway surrounding rock: too high or too low horizontal stress will lead to a butterfly-shaped expansion in the roadway surrounding rock. ② Variations in axial pressure has little effect on the plastic zone shape of roadway surrounding rock, yet exerts major influence on the plastic zone size of surrounding rock: under the same horizontal stress, different axial stress will lead to a bowl-shaped development in the plastic zone size of surrounding rock. …”

Squamate reptiles may have compensated for the lack of γδTCR with a duplication of the TRB locus by Jordan M. Sampson, Kimberly A. Morrissey, Kieran J. Mikolajova, Kourtney M. Zimmerly, Neil J. Gemmell, Michael G. Gardner, Terry Bertozzi, Terry Bertozzi, Robert D. Miller

“…Here, we begin to address how the loss of γδ T cells may have impacted the evolution of the squamate immune system. Using the skink Tiliqua rugosa, we found that squamates have not significantly increased the complexity of conventional T cell receptor beta (TCRβ or TRB) chain V regions compared to that of the nearest living squamate relative, the tuatara, Sphenodon punctatus or other amniotes. …”
