Unraveling drivers and patterns of species richness in coastal marine ecosystem under global warming: Insights from ecosystem connectivity by Xiangyan Yang, Jia Wo, Toniann Keiling, Yong Chen

“…Using center of gravity and species-level dynamics analysis, we identified different temporal and spatial responses to warming temperature across estuary and marine habitats and between lower and higher trophic levels. Environmental and ecological linkages between HRE and NYB habitats within and across seasons, coupled with warming temperatures, contribute to increased species richness in the NYB. …”

Impact of Grinding and Sorting Particle Size on Phytochemical Yield in Dipterocarpus alatus Leaf Extract by Kritsadang Senawong, Somporn Katekaew, Suchat Juntahum, Kittipong Laloon

“…When sorting particle size, the crude extract yield increased as the particle size decreased, with 0.038–0.150 mm particles yielding the highest extraction, although yields decline when the particle size is lower than 0.038 mm. The average particle sizes, production capacity, and fineness modulus all exhibited a significant decrease as the sieve size and feeding rate were reduced, while the specific energy consumption showed an inversely proportional relationship with these parameters. …”

Mathematical Model and Numerical Simulation of Coalbed Methane Migration Considering the Adsorption Expansion Effect by Jianlin Xie, Shaoqiang Yang, Pengwei Li

“…The results show that (1) With continuous heat injection, the gas in the coal seam is rapidly desorbed, and the adsorbed gas content forms an elliptical funnel that extends from the extraction hole to the deep part of the coal body and takes the fracturing crack as the center to the upper and lower boundaries of the coal seam. At day 30, the adsorbed gas content in the whole drainage area has decreased to 0.1 m3/t within 2m from the fracture zone. (2) On the basis of considering the gas adsorption expansion effect, the strain of the coal body decreases from roof to floor. …”
