Dynamic Surface Subsidence Characteristics due to Super-Large Working Face in Fragile-Ecological Mining Areas: A Case Study in Shendong Coalfield, China by Chao Chen, Zhenqi Hu, Jin Wang, Jitang Jia

“…The results indicate that (1) the subsidence trough is characterized with self-healing characteristics, including rapid formation of subsidence trough, the convergence of deformation, a steep trough edge, the smaller range of surface cracks; (2) the dynamic curves of dynamic subsidence parameters conformed to the exponential function curve with an inflection point when the SLWF advanced ca. critical dimension, which is the commonality of the dynamic subsidence characteristics; and (3) the optimized monitoring strategy for land ecology damage is recommended, and more attention should be paid to the quantitative prediction of root damage due to coal mining. …”

Effect of Grape Pomace Inclusion in the Diet of Ewes Naturally Infected with Gastrointestinal Nematodes During Lactation by Mateus Oliveira Mena, Gustavo Gabriel de Oliveira Trevise, César Cristiano Bassetto, Willinton Hernan Pinchao Pinchao, Helder Louvandini, Ricardo Velludo Gomes de Soutello, Ana Cláudia Alexandre Albuquerque, Alessandro Francisco Talamini do Amarante

“…It is concluded that grape pomace supplementation demonstrated potential to improve hematological and productive parameters in lactating ewes, with more evident effects during early lactation. Although the results suggest a possible complementary role in controlling gastrointestinal nematodes, future studies are needed to confirm and optimize this nutritional strategy.…”

Variable Rate Seeding and Accuracy of Within-Field Hybrid Switching in Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) by Károly Bűdi, Annamária Bűdi, Ádám Tarcsi, Gábor Milics

“…The longest transitions occurred on uphill terrain due to increased mechanical adjustment delays, while the shortest transitions were observed on downhill slopes where seed flow remained more stable. The results highlight the importance of terrain-adaptive control mechanisms in precision planting systems to minimize transition delays, improve seed placement accuracy, and increase overall yield potential.…”
