Dietary Qi-Weng-Huangbo powder enhances growth performance, diarrhoea and immune function of weaned piglets by modulating gut health and microbial profiles.

Introduction: The evolution of nutritional strategies to improve the gut health and microbiota profiles of early-weaned piglets is essential to reduce diarrhoea caused by weaning stress. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of Qi-Weng-Huangbo powder, a traditional herbal medicine consisting of a mixture of , and extracts (PCE), on the growth performance, diarrhoea rate, immune function and intestinal health of weaned piglets.

Methods: 162 piglets were randomly assigned to the CON group (no PCE added), the PCEL group (300 mg/kg PCE) and the PCEH group (500 mg/kg PCE) at the end of the third week post farrowing.

Mine pressure behavior law of isolated island working face under extremely close goaf in shallow coal seam.

In order to study the mining pressure characteristics of the shallow buried coal seam with the same silo working face under the very close mining void zone and the overlying coal rock body, the theoretical analysis is used to determine whether the open-cutting eye bearing layer belongs to the mining under the very close mining void zone or not, based on the numerical simulation of FLAC3D and on-site measurement of the working resistance at the end of the cycle of the working face's hydraulic bracket, It is proposed to divide the mining stress of the working face based on the advancing length of the working face, that is, the high-pressure zone, the transition zone and the low-pressure zone. The results of the study show that: FLAC software was used to analyze the stress intensity of the "C" island working face when it was mined back to 50 m, 100 m, 150 m, and 180 m (one time "square"), and the simulation results were imported into the Origin software, which was used to analyze the stress intensity of the working face. The simulation results were imported into Origin software, and the influence range of mining stress was divided into four areas: high-stress area, stress transition area, low-stress area, and "square" stress concentration area.

Simulation research on the protection performance of fall protection net at the end of truck escape ramp.

Introduction: Although the fall protection net installed at the end of the truck escape ramp has a protective effect on trucks and drivers, but lacks sufficient theoretical basis and verification method.

Objectives: The primary objective of this paper was to design a fall protection net that meets the regulations and research its protection performance.

Methods: The finite-element method was used to design the overall size, material, mesh length, mesh type, shape, and supporting structure of the fall protection net installed at the end of truck escape ramp, then dummy and truck models were used to impact the fall protection net to verify the rationality of the design.

Three-dimensional discrete element simulation of the runaway vehicle deceleration process on the arrester bed of truck escape ramps.

Due to imperfect design norms and guidelines for China's truck escape ramp, previous studies have not been able to reflect the effect of wheel subsidence process on the deceleration of runaway vehicles. A discrete element method was used to establish an aggregate discrete element and a wheel discrete element. The three-dimensional discrete element model for an aggregate-wheel combination was established based on a particle flow code in three dimensions on a software platform using the "FISH" language.
