Dynamics of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in the Rhizosphere of Medicinal Plants and Their Promotion on the Performance of <i>Astragalus mongholicus</i> by Wanyi Zhang, Chao He, Yuli Lin, Shenghui Qin, Duo Wang, Chunmiao Li, Min Li, Xiang Sun, Xueli He

“…Soil organic matter, phosphatase, available nitrogen, and glomalin-related soil proteins (GRSPs) were the main factors affecting the AMF composition. Structural equation models and a variation partitioning analysis suggested a highly plant species-specific pattern of AMF distribution patterns, where the host identities explained 61.4% of changes in spore density and 48.2% of AMF colonization. …”

Stability evaluation of karst roof of pile foundation based on variable weight fuzzy comprehensive theory by Xuewen HU, Yun’an LI, Zhigao FAN

“…Regarding the lower accuracy of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in assessing the stability of karst cave roof under pile foundations, an improved structural model of evaluation indicators based on variable weight theory was developed to establish an effective mathematical assessment method for stability determination. …”

Evaluation of influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 2B6 on substrate recognition using computational docking and molecular dynamics simulation. by Kana Kobayashi, Ohgi Takahashi, Masahiro Hiratsuka, Noriyuki Yamaotsu, Shuichi Hirono, Yurie Watanabe, Akifumi Oda

“…Some of these mutations influence drug metabolism activities, leading to individual variations in drug efficacy and pharmacokinetics. Using computational docking, we predicted the structure of the complex between the antimalarial agent artemether and CYP2B6 whose conformations were obtained by MD simulation. …”

Analysis and Modelling of Ship Manoeuvring Simulation in Landslide-Generated Waves by Peiyin Yuan, Yu Zhao

“…When a high-speed moving landslide enters the water, the water is significantly disturbed, and a landslide-generated wave will be formed, which will spread along the upstream and downstream of the river, causing significant threats and destruction to the hydraulic structures and the navigation of ships. Based on the typical rock landslide parameters and fracture development, we establish a three-dimensional physics experimental model of the bending section of the landslide-generated wave in the Three Gorges Reservoir Region. …”
