Mechanical behavior of CFRP partially confined coal cylinders under uniaxial compression. by Qingwen Li, Ling Li, Chuangchuang Pan, Yuqi Zhong, Fanfan Nie, Hao Yang

“…As the net spacing ratio decreases and the number of CFRP layers increases, the peak strength and deformation capacity of the coal cylinders are significantly improved, with the maximum enhancement rate reaching up to 409.36%. Under different confining conditions, the energy evolution pattern of CFRP-confined coal cylinders is generally consistent, with energy primarily accumulating in the form of elastic energy prior to reaching peak strength, and dissipated energy increasing sharply after peak strength is reached. …”

The subordinate role of pseudogenization to recombinative deletion following polyploidization in angiosperms by Ewout Crombez, Yves Van de Peer, Zhen Li

“…Our findings imply that gene loss post-polyploidization primarily takes place via DNA deletion, enabled by a genomic environment with an elevated recombination rate created by WGMs. In contrast, small-scale duplications yield scattered duplicated genes, which appear less exposed to deletion and hence result in a high number of pseudogenes. …”
