Numerical Simulation of Fragment Separation during Rock Cutting Using a 3D Dynamic Finite Element Analysis Code by Zhenguo Lu, Lirong Wan, Qingliang Zeng, Xin Zhang, Kuidong Gao

“…The numerical simulation results demonstrated that the cutting forces and sizes of the separated fragments increased significantly with increasing cutting depth, compressive strength, and elastic modulus of the base rock. A strong linear relationship was observed between the mean peak cutting forces obtained from the numerical, theoretical, and experimental studies with correlation coefficients of 0.698, 0.8111, 0.868, and 0.768. …”

Genome-wide association scan and candidate gene analysis for seed coat color in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) by Mohammed Elsafy, Wafa Badawi, Ahmed Ibrahim, Elamin Hafiz Baillo, Prabin Bajgain, Tilal Sayed Abdelhalim, Mahbubjon Rahmatov

“…IntroductionSeed coat color in sesame is a crucial trait for breeding programs as it is closely associated with important characteristics such as oil content, protein levels, and disease resistance, which directly influence seed quality and market value.MethodsThis study investigates the genetic basis of seed coat color in 200 Sudanese sesame genotypes grown for two consecutive years through comprehensive phenotyping, genomic diversity analysis, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and candidate gene discovery.Results and discussionPhenotypic analysis across two growing seasons revealed high heritability and significant correlations among color parameters (L*, a*, and b*), indicating strong genetic control over seed coat color. The genomic analysis identified distinct clusters among sesame accessions, with rapid linkage disequilibrium decay suggesting a high level of recombination. …”
