Development of Modified Grouting Material and Its Application in Roadway Repair Engineering by Yang Yu, Zhengyuan Qin, Xiangyu Wang, Lianying Zhang, Dingchao Chen, Siyu Zhu

“…The basic properties of the modified grouting materials were studied from the aspects of slurry flow state, diffusion range, and grouting parameters by using the numerical simulation method, and the reinforcement mechanism of slurry to the broken surrounding rock properties of the roadway was revealed: (1) the grouting pressure is the main factor affecting the slurry diffusion radius; (2) the mechanical properties of the roadway surrounding rock are improved, the plastic zone and deformation of surrounding rock are reduced, and the active support function of the anchor and cable is enhanced through grouting reinforcement; (3) the control effect of the roadway is improved, and the balanced bearing with anchorage structure of the roadway surrounding rock is realized through grouting reinforcement. …”

Neuronal migration and ventral subtype identity in the telencephalon depend on SOX1. by Antigoni Ekonomou, Ilias Kazanis, Stavros Malas, Heather Wood, Pavlos Alifragis, Myrto Denaxa, Domna Karagogeos, Andrew Constanti, Robin Lovell-Badge, Vasso Episkopou

“…Furthermore, the migration of non-Sox1-expressing VS neurons (such as those expressing Pax6) was also affected in the absence of SOX1, suggesting that Sox1-expressing neurons play a role in structuring the area of the VS. To test whether SOX1 is required in postmitotic cells for the emergence of VS neuronal identity, we generated mice in which Sox1 expression was directed to all ventral telencephalic precursors, but to only a very few VS neurons. …”
