Study on energy evolution and crack propagation of filling mortar-rock at different loading rates. by Hanqiu Wang, Chengyong Liu, Yuyi Wu, Yuhua Guan, Tongde Zhao

“…However, when shotcrete becomes tightly bonded with rock masses, the energy evolution and crack initiation mechanisms between the two materials exhibit remarkable complexity. Different loading rates significantly alter the internal stress distribution and deformation characteristics within the composite system, thereby influencing the patterns of energy evolution and crack propagation. …”

Formation of productivity of binary and single-species cenosis in the conditions of the Western Forest-Steppe by N. М. RUDАVSКА, H. S. КОNYК, А. М. SHUVАR, L. L. BЕHЕN, О. F. ТYМCHYSHYN, H. М. DОRОТА

“…Mineral fertilizer N32P32K32 ensured the formation of a greater number of beans, the mass and number of grains in the ear, and plant productivity, but had a negative effect on the process of root nodule formation: in mixtures with vetch, their mass decreased by 0.82–0.84 g/plant (to 0.52–0.66 g), in mixtures with lupine – by 0.07–0.17 g/plant (to 2.29–2.36 g). The same pattern was observed in single-species crops. Reduction of the seeding rate of the grain component by 1 million germinated seeds/ha in mixtures with legumes contributed to the increase in the number of grains in the ear (panicle) and seeds in the bean pod. …”

The slip-rate, state-, temperature-, and normal-stress-dependence of fault frictionKey points by Sylvain Barbot

“…The mechanics of slow-slip events and earthquakes is controlled by the constitutive behavior of rocks in active fault zones, which is sensitive to many factors encompassing lithology, temperature, confining and pore-fluid pressure, and slip-rate, among others. Understanding the frictional properties of faults is crucial to predicting many aspects of the seismic cycle, from the source characteristics and recurrence patterns of earthquakes to the mechanics of remote triggering. …”

Determining optimum plant density and nitrogen rate using field experiment and model simulation by Bizuwork Tafes Desta, Sisay Eshetu Tesema, Gebrekidan Feleke Mekuria, Almaz Meseret Gezahegn, Alemayehu Zemede Lemma

“…The model was further evaluated with the experimental data conducted during the 2020 cropping season under four plant densities and four nitrogen fertilizer rates. Because of differences in temperature and rainfall patterns during the potential growing season, seasonal analysis was used to determine the optimum plant density and N rate using 37 years (1985–2022) of historical weather data. …”

Classification of commercial districts based on predicting the survival rate of food service market in Seoul. by DongHyeon Lee, Jaekyung Lee, ManSu Kang, SangHyun Cheon

“…Using 3,000,000 individual commercial facility data from 2004 to 2018 in Seoul, Korea, the primary purpose of this research is two-fold: (1) to develop a methodological framework to simulate survival rate pattern change using a deep-learning based model and (2) to reclassify the commercial districts based on the prediction outcomes to 8 survival rate change types. …”
