Determination of Intervening Pillar Thickness Based on the Cusp Catastrophe Model by Shaowei Ma, Zhouquan Luo, Jianhua Hu, Qifan Ren, Yaguang Qin, Lei Wen

“…For the stability of the intervening pillar of the sublevel drilling open-stope subsequent filling mining method, the multifactor stability mechanical model of the intervening pillar under two different constraint conditions (Model 1 and Model 2) was established based on the elastic thin plate theory. Then, the cusp catastrophe equation and the necessary and sufficient conditions for the instability of the intervening pillar under two different constraint conditions were obtained by using the cusp catastrophe theory. …”

Fat-tail allele-specific expression genes may affect fat deposition in tail of sheep. by Hossein Mansourizadeh, Mohammad Reza Bakhtiarizadeh, Luciana Correia de Almeida Regitano, Jennifer Jessica Bruscadin

“…An RNA-Seq-based variant calling was applied to perform genome-wide survey of ASE genes using 45 samples from seven independent studies comparing the transcriptome of fat-tail tissue between fat- and thin-tailed sheep breeds. Using a rigorous computational pipeline, 115 differential ASE genes were identified, which were narrowed down to four genes (LPL, SOD3, TCP1 and LRPAP1) for being detected in at least two studies. …”

THE METHOD OF CALCULATION AND ANALYSIS OF HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT OF BIMETALLIC FINNED TUBES OF AIR COOLING UNITS WITH IRREGULAR EXTERNAL CONTAMINATION by V. V. Dudarev, S. O. Filatаu, T. B. Karlovich

“…The suggested method is based on a mathematical model developed with the use of the method of electrothermal analogy, whereby the heat flow through the wall of the finned tube is considered as divided into two components, viz. through the annular layer of outside contamination adjacent to the base of the ribs, and through the remaining part of the external ribbed surface covered with a thin layer of pollution. Within the framework of the developed methodology a new method for determining the thermal resistance of the pollution layer, which is based on analytical solution of two dimensional problem of heat conduction in the annular layer has been created. …”
