Expansion patterns of plastic zone in surrounding rock of rectangular roadway in non-uniform stress field and equivalent circumcirble analytical method by GUO Xiaofei, JIN Yiwei, ZHANG Hongkai

“…The result show that: ① In the non-uniform stress field, the shape evolution of the plastic zone in the surrounding rock of the rectangular roadyway is consistent with that of the corresponding circumcircle roadway, exhibiting a round, oval and butterfly shape. ② When the width-height ratio ν of a rectangular roadway is less than 2 (which has met the actual needs of the field), the maximum radius of the plastic zone is less than 15 % of the corresponding circumcircle roadway. Smaller ν value leads to lower error between the two, and the error approximates 0 when the ν =1. ③ The butterfly leaf angle in the plastic zone of the rectangle and the corresponding circumcircle roadway exhibits convergence values between 34° and 39°, and the difference between their butterfly leaf angles is between 1° and 3° when ν is less than 2. ④ When the width-height ratio ν of a rectangular roadway is less than 2 in the non-uniform stress field, the shape, range and main concentration position of the plastic zone can be quantified using the equivalent circumscribed circle method.…”

Changes in Claudin-4 expression and tight junction integrity in human esophageal cancer: A Systematic Review by Mahsa Mahdizadeh, Zahra Arab-Bafrani, Seyyed Mehdi Jafari

“…Conclusion: In summary, it can be concluded that the change in the level of CLDN-4 in the tumor tissues of esophageal cancer altered the tight junctions from the normal state in the normal esophageal tissues, leading to a change in normal barrier function. However, considering the conflicting results in the reports, more studies are needed to accurately interpret the role of CLDN-4 in esophageal cancer.…”

Venezuela: Political Confrontation and the World Community by Z. W. Iwanowski, D. M. Rozental

“…The miscalculations of the incumbent president were used in election campaigns in other Latin American countries and became one of the reasons for the defeat of left candidates, the subsequent ‘right drift’ leading to the isolation of the republic. The new political landscape has also affected the architecture of integration associations, which failed to develop a unified position toward the Bolivarian regime.Furthermore, in a current heightened state of international tensions Venezuela has turned into a theatre of international rivalry and conflict involving all the key subjects of world politics. …”
