Fine detection of floor water damage by three-dimensional direct current electric method based on cross-lane observation by Guanqun ZHOU, Hongda ZHAO, Weixin ZHANG, Xiaoping WU, Xikai LIANG, Zongtao WANG, Yafei WANG

“…Mine direct current electric method has become one of the main means of water disaster detection in the floor of working face because of its high sensitivity and strong anti-interference ability in detecting low resistance. In order to enhance the imaging accuracy of water damage inversion in the working face floor, through the analysis of the one-roadway electrical method, the two-roadway electrical method, and the comprehensive resistivity detection method that integrates both one-roadway and two-roadway method, a novel cross-roadway electrical observation method has been proposed. …”

Chlamydomonas IC97, an intermediate chain of the flagellar dynein f/I1, is required for normal flagellar and cellular motility by Ryosuke Yamamoto, Yui Tanaka, Shunsuke Orii, Kogiku Shiba, Kazuo Inaba, Takahide Kon

“…The ic97 mutant phenocopied several aspects of the previously isolated IDA-f/I1-related mutants in Chlamydomonas and showed slow swimming compared to the wild type but retained the ability to phototaxis. Further analysis revealed that the mutant had low flagellar beat frequency and miscoordination between the two (cis- and trans-) flagella. …”
