Safety of the use of a microtracer with the feed additive consisting of chromium propionate (KemTRACE™ chromium) for all growing poultry species by EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP), Roberto Edoardo Villa, Giovanna Azimonti, Eleftherios Bonos, Henrik Christensen, Mojca Durjava, Birgit Dusemund, Ronette Gehring, Boet Glandorf, Maryline Kouba, Marta López‐Alonso, Francesca Marcon, Carlo Nebbia, Alena Pechová, Miguel Prieto‐Maradona, Ilen Röhe, Katerina Theodoridou, Jaume Galobart, Maria Vittoria Vettori, Jordi Ortuño, Fabiola Pizzo, Jordi Tarrés‐Call

“…The use of the microtracer at proposed conditions of use is safe for the terrestrial environmental compartment, but no conclusion can be made for the groundwater. The addition of the microtracer in the premix/feedingstuffs is not expected to have any impact on the efficacy of the additive, and therefore, the previous conclusion on the efficacy is still valid.…”

Failure Mechanism of the Qianjiangping Slope in Three Gorges Reservoir Area, China by Zhenhua Zhang, Mingming Qian, Song Wei, Juxiang Chen

“…Study results suggest that with the reservoir water level rising, the toe of the slope was gradually submerged in reservoir water and the strength of rock mass submerged by reservoir water decreased due to water-rock interaction; furthermore, the heavy rainfall was rapidly injected into the slope through the interlayer staggered zone and slope surface, the groundwater table in the middle part of the slope rose rapidly, the sliding force of the slope increased, and the stress concentration appeared at the lower part of the slope; finally, the rock bridges submerged by reservoir water in the front of the slope fractured, and the failure of the slope occurred.…”

Impact of In Situ Soil in Soil-Bentonite Cutoff Wall Backfill on Compressibility and Hydraulic Conductivity by Ridong Fan, Yuling Yang, Songyu Liu

“…Soil-bentonite cutoff walls, consisting of excavated in situ soil and bentonite as backfills, are used extensively as vertical barriers for groundwater pollution control. Sand mixed with high-quality natural sodium bentonite (NaB) is commonly used as a research object to investigate the hydraulic and compression properties of soil-bentonite backfills. …”

Tunnel face stability in strata rich in water with soft upper and hard lower layers by Tao Zhan, Ziwei Hu, Yan Kuang, Zhiliang Zhu, Kaiyi Liao

“…The influence of pore water pressure is also considered, leading to the development of a method for calculating the critical support force of tunnel faces in such strata, while taking into account both failure modes and the effects of groundwater. Through parameter analysis, factors such as the tunnel diameter, proportion of soft soil, stratum cohesion, and pore water pressure coefficient significantly influence the tunnel face failure mode. …”

Field Investigation on Thermal Regime of Permafrost and Talik in a River Terrace, the Interior of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau by Yunzhi Zhang, Furong Liu, Xingbing Wang, Pengfei He, Jinggang Cui, Yishan Wang, Yanhu Mu

“…The complex plane and spatial distribution of permafrost in the field are closely related to local factors such as topography, geomorphology, groundwater, and lithology of shallow ground. It is believed that the formation of the island talik in the study area is controlled by solar radiation and precipitation infiltration.…”

Modified SWAT Model for Agricultural Watershed in Karst Area of Southwest China by Junfeng Dai, Linyan Pan, Yan Deng, Zupeng Wan, Rui Xia

“…The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model is extensively used globally for hydrological and water quality assessments but encounters challenges in karst regions due to their complex surface and groundwater hydrological environments. This study aims to refine the delineation of hydrological response units within the SWAT model by combining geomorphological classification and to enhance the model with an epikarst zone hydrological process module, exploring the accuracy improvement of SWAT model simulations in karst regions of Southwest China. …”
