Effect of Bayer Red Mud on the Mechanical Strength of Grouting Material.

The massive stockpiles of Bayer-process red mud (BRM) severely compromise soil integrity, necessitating the urgent development of efficient large-scale utilization strategies. BRM contains large amounts of calcium, silicon, and aluminum. Theoretically, water glass and flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGD) can increase the active substances in BRM, making it a cementitious raw material capable of replacing cement.

A Machine-Learning-Based Method for Identifying the Failure Risk State of Fissured Sandstone under Water-Rock Interaction.

The mechanical properties of fissured sandstone will deteriorate under water-rock interaction. It is crucial to extract the precursor information of fissured sandstone instability under water-rock interaction. The potential of each acoustic emission (AE) parameter as a precursor for instability in the failure process of fissured sandstone was investigated in this study.

Failure evolution and instability prediction of fiber-reinforced polymer-confined cement mortar specimens under axial compression.

In geotechnical engineering, a large number of pillars are often left in underground space to support the overlying strata and protect the surface environment. To enhance pillar stability and prevent instability, this study proposes an innovative technology for pillar reinforcement. Specifically, local confinement of the pillar is achieved through fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strips, resulting in the formation of a more stable composite structure.

MicroRNA-135b regulates apoptosis and chemoresistance in colorectal cancer by targeting large tumor suppressor kinase 2.

Colorectal cancer remains the third most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. MicroRNA emerges as a good area of research for current cancer therapy. Here, we identified miR-135b to be a contributor to anti-apoptosis and chemoresistance in colorectal cancer.
