Overburden failure characteristics and fracture evolution rule under repeated mining with multiple key strata control by Sun Chaoshang, Shi Chaoyang, Zhu Zhiming, Lin Haixiao, Li Zhenhua, Du Feng, Cao Zhengzheng, Lu Pengtao, Liu Lin

“…The overburden failure pattern evolves from the single “trapezoidal” structure of initial mining to a "double-trapezoidal" composite structure, with fracture evolution following the pattern of "slow expansion during initial disturbance-leap increase due to cumulative damage from repeated mining-gradual stabilization regulated by key strata". (3) Field monitoring using the double-end water plugging and borehole observation joint detection method measures the fracture zone height after 6# coal seam mining as 38 m (height-to-mining ratio of 13.6 based on a measured seam thickness of 2.8 m), and the fracture zone height in the exclusively mined area of the 7# coal seam as 100.33 m (height-to-mining ratio of 12.4 based on a measured seam thickness of 8.09 m). …”

Comparative analysis of soil thermal conductivity in the permafrost regions of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau and the Arctic by Wenhao Liu, Ren Li, Tonghua Wu, Guojie Hu, Xiaodong Wu, Shenning Wang, Junjie Ma, Jianzong Shi, Shengfeng Tang, Xiaofan Zhu, Yongping Qiao

“…The mean STC values in the QTP permafrost region during the thawing period are significantly higher than those during the freezing period. (2) STC of the QTP exhibits a fluctuating pattern at different depths, in contrast, the average STC value in the Arctic increases steadily with depth, with an increase rate of approximately 0.005 Wm−1 K−1/cm. (3) The analysis of influencing factors revealed that although moisture content, bulk density, and porosity are the primary drivers of regional variations in STC between the QTP and the Arctic permafrost, moisture elements in the QTP region have a greater influence on STC and the effect is stronger with increasing depth and during the freeze–thaw cycles. …”

Bridging intensity is associated with impaired hematopoietic recovery after BCMA CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma by Jan H. Frenking, Xiang Zhou, Kai Rejeski, Vivien Wagner, Patrick Costello, Thomas Hielscher, Lilan Gatti, Joseph Kauer, Omar Nadeem, Elias K. Mai, Christian S. Michel, Mirco J.

Munshi, Adam S. Sperling, Leo Rasche, Sandra Sauer, Marc S. Raab

“…We found associations between the number of CTX agents used and impaired post–CAR-T hematopoietic reconstitution, evident across hematopoietic cell lineages and particularly manifesting during the late post–CAR-T period. Intensive CTX bridging was associated with a prolonged time to neutrophil and platelet recovery, distinct patterns of hematopoietic recovery (eg, an intermittent phenotype characterized by a second drop), an increased susceptibility to severe infections and a significantly increased risk for severe late cytopenias in univariate and multivariate models. …”

Epigenomic signatures of cis-regulatory elements in the developing mouse and pig forelimb by Ismael Sospedra-Arrufat, Pedro Manuel Martínez-García, Alejandro Gil-Gálvez, Ana Alcaina-Caro, Juan J. Tena, Gretel Nusspaumer, Javier Lopez-Rios

“…We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation for various histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K27ac, and H3K4me1) from equivalent developmental stages of mouse (E11.5) and pig (day 23; D23) to identify active regulatory regions during forelimb development in both species. The overlap of these epigenomic signatures with the pattern of open chromatin allowed us to classify these putative regulatory regions into different chromatin states in mouse and pig limb primordia. …”
