How to solve novel problems: the role of associative learning in problem-solving performance in wild great tits Parus major by Laure Cauchard, Pierre Bize, Blandine Doligez

“…We first examined the role of accuracy (the proportion of contacts made with the opening part of a string-pulling task), neophobia, exploration, activity, age, sex, body condition and participation time on the ability to solve the task. To highlight the effect of associative learning, we then compared accuracy between solvers and non-solvers, before and after the first cue to the solution (i.e., the first time they pulled the string opening the door). …”

Effect of Strain-Dependent Hydraulic Conductivity of Coal Rock on Groundwater Inrush in Mining by Haifeng Lu, Nan Shan, You-Kuan Zhang, Xiuyu Liang

“…The results indicate that in the early time, the rocks undergo elastic compression with increasing rock strain, resulting in a decrease in hydraulic conductivity; then, the microcracks and fissures appear in the rock after it yields results in a sudden jump in hydraulic conductivity; in the later time, the hydraulic conductivity decreases gradually again owing to the microcracks and fissures that were compacted. …”
