The Timing of Sugar Beet Harvesting Significantly Influences Roots Yield and Quality Characteristics by Radosław Nowicki, Edward Wilczewski, Michał Kłosowski

“…The accumulation of sugar beet (<i>Beta vulgaris</i> L.) root yield across Central and Eastern Europe typically occurs mostly from July to September but can vary substantially depending on precipitation patterns. When summer rainfall is insufficient, the period of intensive yield accumulation may be delayed, often affecting the technological quality of the roots. …”

Mechanism of wellbore instability considering tubular-string contact with the wellbore wall by Yuting Zhou, Hui Zhang, Yanxian Wu, Xingyu Li, Chuanming Xi, Kunhong Lv, Hao Zhang, Xinrui Wang

“…Key findings demonstrate that tubular string contact induces stress perturbations—radial stress increases while circumferential stress decreases, creating asymmetric wellbore instability patterns. The instability coefficient increases with larger contact force, larger wellbore diameter, higher rock elastic modulus, higher Poisson’s ratio and lower wellbore curvature radius. …”

The interactivity and independence of Recovery challenges and coping strategies for ICU survivors and their caregivers: a systematic review and Meta-synthesis by Zeyi Zhang, Longshan Yang, Heng Cao

“…Abstract Background The post-ICU home recovery period requires patients and caregivers to confront recovery challenges and adopt coping strategies as a family dyad, necessitating effective dyadic interaction patterns. Existing qualitative research shows that the dyads face interactive or independent challenges and employs varying coping strategies, which may include strong communication or, conversely, avoidance. …”

Study on the evolution of rock damage and blasting characteristics of deep tunnel splitting and drilling with explosives by Shigui FU, Zegong LIU, jinwei QIU, Shuai YANG, Gangjian AN, Guodong QIAO, Xin ZHANG

“…When the cutting seam direction is perpendicular to the maximum principal stress direction, geological stress inhibits crack growth along the cutting seam and reduces both propagation speed and final crack length. (3) Geological stress does not alter the pattern of inter-hole stress changes during twin-hole cutting seam blasting, as stress attenuation and superposition zones are consistently observed between the holes. …”
