Thin-walled cylindrical shell storage tanks are pressure vessels in which the walls of the vessel have a thickness that is much smaller than the overall size of the vessel. These types of structures have global applications in various industries, including oil refineries and petrochemical plants. However, these storage tanks are vulnerable to fire and explosions. Therefore, a parametric study using numerical simulation was carried out, considering the internal liquid level, wall thickness, material yield strength, constraint conditions, and blast intensity, with a diameter of 100 m and height of 22.5 m under different blast loads using the finite element analysis method. The thickness of the tank wall is varied as 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm, and 40 mm, while the fill level of internal fluid is varied as 25, 50, 75, and 100%. The blast simulation was conducted using LS-DYNA software. The numerical results are then compared with analytical results. The effects of blast intensity, standoff distance, wall thickness, and fill level of internal fluid on the structural behaviour of the storage tank were investigated and discussed.

Three new fungal species, , and , are proposed based on a combination of the morphological features and molecular evidence. The taxon is characterized by the coriaceous basidiomata with a cream surface, cylindrical basidia, straight, 4-celled, subglobose or ovoid probasidia and thin-walled, narrowly cylindrical basidiospores with septa, measuring as 7-9 × 3.5-4.

Article Synopsis
- - Pinellia ternata is a valuable perennial herb in traditional Chinese medicine, recently affected by a 10% rotting incidence observed in a May 2023 planting investigation.
- - Five rotten corms were analyzed, leading to the isolation of five fungal cultures identified as Fusarium sp. due to their distinctive colony and microconidia characteristics.
- - To confirm this identification, genomic DNA from two isolates was extracted and specific genes were PCR-amplified, with sequences subsequently submitted to GenBank for further reference.

Background And Objectives: Vascular stents are scaffolding structures implanted in the vessels of patients with obstructive disease. Stents are typically designed as cylindrical lattice structures characterized by the periodic repetition of unit cells. Their design, including geometry and material characteristics, influences their mechanical performance and, consequently, the clinical outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- A new leaf spot disease affecting Stevia rebaudiana was reported in Hongxing county, Anhui province, with symptoms including dark brown leaf spots, foliar wilting, and occasional plant death, impacting 10-15% of the plants in three nursery beds.
- To identify the pathogen, diseased leaves were sterilized and cultured, resulting in twenty-five Stagonosporopsis-like isolates characterized by gray-green, cottony colonies and a growth rate of 9.5 mm/day.
- Molecular identification of two representative isolates was performed using various gene sequences, which were submitted to GenBank, revealing a 99% similarity to known sequences.
