Field Measurement and Numerical Modelling Study on Mining-Induced Subsidence in a Typical Underground Mining Area of Northwestern China by Kai Zhang, Lu Bai, Pengfei Wang, Zhuang Zhu

“…Mining-induced subsidence is a great concern for environmental protection in underground mining areas in China and all over the world. In view of the fact that the research on land degradation above underground coal mines are completely or partially independent of coal mining activity and the fact that the mechanism behind mining-induced subsidence has not been well understood, this study presents a field measurement and numerical study of mining-induced subsidence with respect to mining activity of three adjacent longwall panels in a coal mine in Northwest China. …”

Tracing the paths of modular evolution by quantifying rearrangement events of protein domains by Abdulbaki Coban, Erich Bornberg-Bauer, Carsten Kemena

“…We exemplify our method by analyzing the evolutionary histories of protein rearrangements in (i) the extracellular matrix, (ii) innate immunity across Eukaryota, Metazoa, and Vertebrata, and (iii) Toll-Like-Receptors in the innate immune system of Eukaryota. In all three cases we can find hot-spots of rearrangement events in their phylogeny which (i) can be related with major events of adaptation and (ii) which follow the emergence of new domains which become integrated into existing arrangements. …”
