Transcription-related metabolic regulation in grafted lemon seedlings under magnesium deficiency stress.

Magnesium is one of the essential nutrients for plant growth, and plays a pivotal role in plant development and metabolism. Soil magnesium deficiency is evident in citrus production, which ultimately leads to failure of normal plant growth and development, as well as decreased productivity. Citrus is mainly propagated by grafting, so it is necessary to fully understand the different regulatory mechanisms of rootstock and scion response to magnesium deficiency.

Correlation between different points on the face and the width of maxillary anterior teeth.

Statement Of Problem: There is currently no consensus on the relationship between maxillary anterior teeth and different facial anthropometric measurements. Additionally, whether these relationships vary by age and sex remains unreported.

Purpose: This clinical study aimed to investigate the relationship between the intercanine distance (ICaD) and intercanthal distance (ICD), interpupillary distance (IPD), interalar width (IAW), and intercommissural width (ICW), and to compare whether these relationships differ between different age and sex populations.

Generation of 3D finite element mesh of layered geological bodies in intersecting fault zones.

As the geological fault surface divides the 3D space of stratified ores and rocks into complex spatial surface domains, it is necessary to fully consider the spatial relationship between intersecting fault zones and geological bodies in the process of 3D modeling, and how to accurately establish the 3D finite element mesh of geological bodies in intersecting fault zones is a difficult point in modeling complex geological structure. The laminated geological body in intersecting fault zone is a multifaceted domain grid model consisting of a ground-level grid, a geological fault plane grid, and a range grid. By analyzing the spatial relationship between the geological interfaces of the intersecting fault zones, a closed manifold processing method is proposed to establish the closed manifold spatial surface model of the intersecting fault zones, based on which the closed spatial surface model is tetrahedrally divided to establish a 3D solid model.

Design method of blasthole charge structure based on lithology distribution.

The density of geological exploration boreholes is one of the main bases for blasthole charge structure design. Due to the low density of geological exploration boreholes, it is impossible to obtain the blast hole rock formations' distribution accurately. With the development and application of intelligent drilling rigs, the lithology distribution data of the blasthole can be accurately obtained, and a blasthole charge structure design method based on the lithology distribution is proposed.
