Mechanical responses of sandstone exposed to triaxial differential cyclic loading with distinct unloading rates of confining stress: A lab scale investigation by Z. Y. Song, W. H. Zhang, Z. Yu, Y. Zhao, M. Zhang, W. G. Dang

“…The confining stress unloading rate can dominate the radial strain rate, while the axial DCL pattern has an unpronounced effect. The confining stress unloading rate affects the energy evolution in radial and axial directions of specimens, with the ratio of radially released energy to axially consumed energy fluctuating more significantly during the fast unloading of confining stress, the valley value of the ratio can serve as a precursor for failure. …”

“Wireline + Wireless” Networking Remote Monitoring Technology for Analysing the Unloading Deformation Characteristics of the Fractured Surrounding Rock Mass Induced by Underground... by Bin Hu, Jianlong Sheng, Jing Li, Peng-Zhi Pan, Guangquan Zhang, Zuyang Ye

“…The in situ experimental study also found that deformation of the fractured surrounding rock mass in the Dashizi Tunnel showed a step-like fluctuating growth pattern. Additionally, the mechanical response of the surrounding rock mass during unloading tended to stabilize when the opening face was approximately 35 m away from the monitoring section, providing new ways to optimize the excavation process and support measured.…”

map3k1 suppresses terminal differentiation of migratory eye progenitors in planarian regeneration. by Katherine C Lo, Christian P Petersen

“…Using the planarian as a model system, we identify a novel function for map3k1, a MAP3K family member possessing both kinase and ubiquitin ligase domains, to negatively regulate terminal differentiation of stem cells during eye regeneration. Inhibition of map3k1 caused the formation of multiple ectopic eyes within the head, but without controlling overall head, brain, or body patterning. …”

Mesoscale unfrozen water content measurements in frozen oasis soils using combined cosmic-ray neutron sensing and time domain reflectometry networks by Yongyong Zhang, Shue Wei, Wenzhi Zhao

“…However, accurately measuring mesoscale unfrozen and frozen water contents during freeze-thaw cycles remains challenging. This study combines Cosmic-Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) and Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) networks to investigate ice-water transformation characteristics at the mesoscale in oasis ecosystems, including farmland with shallow groundwater (FSG), old farmland (OF), new farmland (NF), and artificial forest (AF) during the freezing period. …”

Spatiotemporal Stability Responses of Tunnel Excavation Under Cyclical Footage Impact: A FLAC^3D-Based Numerical Study by Shang Li, Bing Dai, Yuzhou Hou, Danli Li

“…To investigate the underlying mechanisms by which different cyclical footage values influence the stability of deeply buried tunnels, the Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua in Three Dimensions (FLAC^3D) was employed to simulate the spatiotemporal evolution of tunnel responses during excavation. The simulation results reveal that each cyclical footage scenario produces a “segmental decline” pattern in tunnel displacement. …”
