Evidence of Major Structural Features over the Pan-African Domain in the Bertoua-Mbangue Area (East Cameroon) from a Multiscale Approach of Modeling and Interpretation of Aeromagne... by Owono Amougou Olivier Ulrich Igor, Ndougsa Mbarga Theophile, Meying Arsène, Assembe Stephane Patrick, Ngoh Jean Daniel, Ngoumou Paul Claude, Yandjimain Justine

“…The total magnetic intensity map reduced to the equator (RTE-TMI) shows important anomalies features, namely, the Northern East magnetic anomalies of high amplitude, the Southwest where very low values of the magnetic intensity were observed, and a corridor with negative values relatively high, separating the anomalies. The horizontal gradient map shows on the one hand brittle and folded structures carried out in the area of study and on the other hand various rectilinear, narrow, and short-wave anomalies that can be classified as a family of little faults. …”

Causal relationship of familial hypercholesterolemia with risk of intestinal vascular disorders: A mendelian randomization study by Gang Wei, Cheng Zhang, Feng-Jie Shen, Hua-Qi Guo, Lin Liu

“…Results: The IVW method demonstrated that FH was significantly associated with higher odds of intestinal vascular diseases [OR (95%CI): 1.22 (1.03, 1.45)] (P = 0.02) without significant heterogeneity (P = 0.54) and horizontal pleiotropy (P = 0.43). Rs7575840 in 6.5kda upstream of ApoB gene, rs11591147 in PCSK9 gene and rs9644862 in the CDKN2B-AS1 (or named ANRIL; p15AS; PCAT12; CDKN2BAS; CDKN2B-AS; NCRNA00089) gene were illustrated to mostly influence the risk of intestinal vascular diseases. …”

Interpretation of Recent Unrest Events (Bradyseism) at Campi Flegrei, Napoli (Italy): Comparison of Models Based on Cyclical Hydrothermal Events versus Shallow Magmatic Intrusive E... by A. Lima, R. J. Bodnar, B. De Vivo, F. J. Spera, H. E. Belkin

“…Data obtained during long-term monitoring of the CF volcanic district has led to the development of a model based on lithological-structural and stratigraphic features that produce anisotropic and heterogeneous permeability features showing large variations both horizontally and vertically; these data are inconsistent with a model in which bradyseism is driven exclusively by shallow magmatic intrusions. …”

Failure Mechanism and Stability Control of Surrounding Rock of Docking Roadway under Multiple Dynamic Pressures in Extrathick Coal Seam by Xiangye Wu, Shuai Wang, Chen Tian, Changxing Ji, Jingya Wang

“…The results show that (1) through the analysis of the superimposed stress under the concentrated coal pillar and the coal seam in advance, the specific butt joint position is arranged at 860 m away from the open-off cut, which is 10 m away from the goaf of No. 12 coal seam. (2) With the working face 031604 advancing through the process, the deviatoric stress value of the withdrawal roadway gradually increases, the maximum principal stress of the two sides of the roadway deflects clockwise from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, its angle also gradually increases, and the shape of the plastic zone gradually expands from symmetry to asymmetry. (3) It is revealed that the peak value of deviatoric stress on both sides of the docking position of docking roadway increases gradually under the influence of mining and deflects anticlockwise to the vertical direction with the principal stress angle. …”
