Investigation into factors controlling groundwater evolution in mining areas with an integrated approach.

The study of groundwater evolution is of great significance for water resource protection and management, groundwater pollution control, and ecological environment protection. Experts and scholars have found that the hydrochemical processes and evolutionary patterns of groundwater are determined by both natural processes and human activities. However, there is relatively little research on the evolution of groundwater in mining areas where human activities have a significant impact.

The miR156-SPL4/SPL9 module regulates leaf and lateral branch development in Betula platyphylla.

The miR156 gene is known to play an important role in regulating growth and development in plants. This gene is involved in the transition from juvenile to adult stages, leaf morphology, and root development, among other processes. While the function of miR156 is similar in many plants, there are also differences in the function of this gene between herbaceous and native species.

Numerical Simulation of Failure Behavior of Brittle Heterogeneous Rock under Uniaxial Compression Test.

Rocks have formed heterogeneous characteristics after experiencing complex natural geological processes. Studying the heterogeneity of rocks is significant for rock mechanics. In this study, a linear parallel bond model with Weibull distribution in two-dimensional particle flow code (PFC2D) is adopted to study the mechanical characteristics and brittle failure mode of granite rock specimens with different heterogeneity.
