Correlation between highly active carbon-containing solid free radicals and spontaneous combustion reactivity of coal by Jinhu LI, Juejie HUANG, Wei LU, Tianshuo XU, Yang WANG

“…Microscopically, The free radicals in the process of low-temperature oxidation of coal samples were affected by the chain reaction, the correlation between free radical parameters and spontaneous combustion characteristics is weak, However, The increase of alkyl free radicals and total free radicals produced by thermal decomposition can accurately reflect the spontaneous combustion characteristics of coal. Finally, alkyl radicals in coal were verified as highly active carbon solid radicals by oxidative free radical test at room temperature after pyrolysis, and its content was positively correlated with the spontaneous combustion characteristics of coal. …”

A new method for detecting mixed Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and reconstructing constituent strains provides insights into transmission by Benjamin Sobkowiak, Patrick Cudahy, Melanie H. Chitwood, Taane G. Clark, Caroline Colijn, Louis Grandjean, Katharine S. Walter, Valeriu Crudu, Ted Cohen

“…Reconstructed major strain sequences closely matched the true constituent sequence by taking the allele at the highest frequency at hSNPs, while the best-performing approach to reconstruct the minor proportion strain sequence was identifying the closest non-mixed isolate in the same population, though no approach was effective when the minor strain proportion was at 5%. Finally, fewer mixed infections were identified in Moldova than previous estimates (6.6% vs 17.4%) and we found multiple instances where the constituent strains of mixed samples were present in transmission clusters. …”
