Study of Fire Plume Behavior and Maximum Ceiling Temperature Rise in a Curved Tunnel Driven by the Coupling of Blockage Effect and Longitudinal Ventilation by Xin Zhang, Jie Li, Hao He, Xiaofeng Chen, Kai Zhu, Mingjian Yin, Ying Cao, Ke Wu

“…The results show that, in curved tunnels, the fire plume in the quasi-stable state exhibits dynamic deflections between the concave and convex walls of the tunnel, so the location of high-temperature zones varies accordingly. The flow field structure in the near field of the blockage and the fire source is complex but can be decoupled into four characteristic sub-structures, i.e., the free shear layer, recirculation I above the vehicle blockage, recirculation II behind the downstream of the blockage, and recirculation III at the top of the tunnel. …”

Characteristics, location, and usage patterns of resting burrows in Chinese pangolins: Insights from radio-telemetry tracking by Nick Ching-Min Sun, Jing-Shiun Lin, Kurtis Jai‑Chyi Pei

“…To conclude the findings:1) burrow count, while useful for identifying pangolin presence, is not a suitable quantitative indicator of population density. 2) Most resting burrows had compacted soil at the entrance, which could be mistaken for old or inactive burrows in other studies. 3) Resting burrows function as permanent structures that are reused across seasons instead of seasonal adaptations. 4) Preserving low-disturbance habitats will be critical for ensuring sufficient resting burrow sites, thereby supporting the long-term viability of pangolin populations. …”

Safety assessment on girth welds of large-diameter X80 pipelines in water network area by Yuqing LIU, Zhenyong ZHANG, Shengsi WU, Beilei JI, Hong ZHANG, Xiaoben LIU

“…On this basis, the safety of pipeline welds at different locations in the soft soil settlement area was evaluated according to the Guide to Methods for Assessing the Acceptability of Flaws in Metallic Structures (BS 7910-2019). Meanwhile, the influence of external load conditions and weld misalignment was analyzed, which indicates that the increase of misalignment leads to an increase in the load ratio and toughness ratio used in the assessment, with the conservativeness reduced for the safety of pipeline. …”
