Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Ground Subsidence in Xiong’an New Area Revealed by a Combined Observation Framework Based on InSAR and GNSS Techniques by Shaomin Liu, Mingzhou Bai

“…This study integrates time-series InSAR and GNSS monitoring to analyze spatiotemporal deformation patterns from 2017/05 to 2025/03. The key results show: (1) Three subsidence hotspots, namely northern Xiongxian (max. cumulative subsidence: 591 mm; 70 mm/yr), Luzhuang, and Liulizhuang, strongly correlate with geothermal wells and F4/F5 fault zones; (2) GNSS baseline analysis (e.g., XA01-XA02) reveals fissure-induced differential deformation (max. horizontal/vertical rates: 40.04 mm/yr and 19.8 mm/yr); and (3) InSAR–GNSS cross-validation confirms the high consistency of the results (Pearson’s correlation coefficient = 0.86). …”

Quantitative control of organ shape by combinatorial gene activity. by Min-Long Cui, Lucy Copsey, Amelia A Green, J Andrew Bangham, Enrico Coen

“…We evaluate our scheme by incorporating the proposed interactions into a generative model, where the developing flower is treated as a material sheet that grows according to how genes modify local polarities and growth rates. The petal shapes generated by the model show a good quantitative match with those observed experimentally for each petal in numerous genotypes, thus validating the hypothesised scheme. …”

Analysis of the impact of the absence of RAD51 strand exchange activity in Arabidopsis meiosis. by Gunjita Singh, Olivier Da Ines, Maria Eugenia Gallego, Charles I White

“…Although the presence of RAD51 protein provides essential support for the action of DMC1, our results show no significant effect of the absence of RAD51 strand-exchange activity on meiotic crossing-over rates or patterns in different chromosomal regions or across the whole genome of Arabidopsis, strongly supporting the argument that DMC1 catalyses repair of all meiotic DNA breaks, not only non-sister cross-overs.…”
