Ecological responses of Orientallactaga sibirica: Variations in body size and trophic niche across changing habitats by Qi-qige Buren, Xin Li, Guo-kang Chen, Guo-hui Ye, Shan-shan Sun, Yong-ling Jin, Ming-ming, He-Ping Fu, Shuai Yuan

“…The trophic niche width of O. sibirica varied across habitat types, being widest in the warm-temperate semi-humid zone and at mid-altitudes. Segmented structural equation modeling revealed that elevation and mean annual temperature exerted significant negative effects on O. sibirica body size by affecting FVC, whereas annual precipitation had a significant positive effect on body size, mediated through FVC. …”

Key technologies for intelligent, efficient, and safe mining of impact thick coal seams due to hard roof by Bin YU, Xiangbin MENG, Yang TAI, Ziyu SHANG, Mingxian PENG, Tiejun KUANG, Feilong GUO, Dongyin LI, Shibo WANG

“…For instance, theoretical calculations for the 103up02 workface of Yanzhou Coal Mining Group showed that artificial fracture networks reduced the first breakage distance of the sandstone layer from 250 m to 123 m. ③ For rock burst elimination mechanism by ground-based artificial fracture networks, numerous fractures created structural weak surfaces in the strata, reducing the elastic energy accumulation in hard roofs and weakening seismic intensity caused by roof ruptures, thereby mitigating rock bursts in workfaces and roadways. …”
