Pressure-relief and anti-impact technology of near-fault blasting by high-level roadway in deep pressure bumps mine by REN Wentao, WANG Hao, YU Bingbing, ZUO Jinjing, GU Peng, ZHANG Yuantong, ZHENG Xingbo, WANG Bo, ZHANG Bin, WAN Xiao

“…The results show that: the maximum expansion radius of the explosive fracture zone obtained by in-situ monitoring was 1.5 m, and the hole bottom distance and the charge quantity designed accordingly can ensure the breaking effect of the fault; the microseismic event of 104 energy level decreased from 5.2 % before stopping mining to 1.5 % after recovering mining, and no 105 and 106 energy level events occurred. Under the horizontal principal stress, the deformation of the roadway was larger than that of the roof and floor, and the stress of the overlying strata was transferred to the solid coal side, which led to the deformation of the solid side larger than that of the goaf side. …”

How to survive the mutational meltdown: lessons from plant RNA viruses by Lafforgue, Guillaume, Lefebvre, Marie, Michon, Thierry, Elena, Santiago F.

“…Plant RNA viruses give rise to large and diverse populations that undergo significant bottlenecks during the colonization of distant tissues or through vector-mediated horizontal transmission. In this study, we aim to investigate the role of bottleneck size, the maximum population size between consecutive bottlenecks, and the generation of genetic diversity in countering the effects of Muller’s ratchet. …”
