Griseusins F (1) and G (2), two 2a-hydro-8a-(2-oxopropyl)-substituted spiro-naphthoquinones with a previously undescribed C23 polyketide skeleton, were isolated from a Yunnan tin mine tailings-derived alkalophilic actinomycete, Nocardiopsis sp. YIM DT266. Their complete structure assignments with the absolute stereochemistry were elucidated by spectroscopic data, X-ray crystal diffraction, calculation of optical rotation, and CD spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited strong cytotoxicity (IC50 0.37-0.82 μM) and antibacterial activity (MIC 0.80-1.65 μg/mL) against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in vitro.

Radon (Rn) and thoron (Rn) were reported as the highest contributors to natural radiation received by humans. Furthermore, radon has been stated as the second-highest cause of lung cancer. The concentrations of U and Th (the parent nuclide of radon and thoron, respectively) in nature vary with geological conditions and can be enhanced by human activities.

A significant issue encountered in smelting operations is the corrosion of refractory materials that come into direct contact with the molten slag. Magnesia-based refractories are commonly used in nonferrous smelting operations. On the other hand, alumina-based refractories emerge as a possible alternative, particularly when dealing with the unpredictable slag compositions, owing to alumina's amphoteric characteristic.

Combining the requirements for refined modeling and dynamic update of fault slope geological models in open-pit coal mines, we systematically elaborated on the elements and rules of slope 3D geological modeling and proposed a fine modeling and dynamic updating method based on digital elevation model (DEM) and half-edge boundary representation (B-Rep) data structures. Initially, the stratigraphic division of the study area is conducted based on borehole and section data, combined with the geological evolution history and the level set theory. Applying inverse distance weighting (IDW) for estimation, the geological interface triangular irregular network (TIN) is constructed using the TIN algorithm.
