Differential equations and recursive solutions for cosmological amplitudes by Song He, Xuhang Jiang, Jiahao Liu, Qinglin Yang, Yao-Qi Zhang

“…Our method works for any graph: for a tree graph with n nodes, this system can be transformed into the canonical differential equations of size 4 n−1 equivalent to the graphic rules derived recently , and we also derive the system of differential equations for loop integrands e.g. of all-loop two-site graphs and one-loop n-gon graphs. Finally, we show how the differential equations truncate for the de Sitter (dS) case (in a way similar to differential equations for Feynman integrals truncate for integer dimensions), which immediately yields the complete symbol for the dS amplitude with interesting structures e.g. for n-site chains and n-gon cases.…”

Study on the Full‐Cycle Stress Evolution Law and Reasonable Size of Isolated Coal Pillar by Xiao‐Xiang Wei, Qing‐Long Yun, Jing Wu, Xiao‐He Wang, Yin‐Wei Wang

“…The results show that the vertical stress and maximum principal stress increase correspondingly with the decrease of the protective coal pillar size under both stages, and the minimum value of the minimum principal stress occurs on the 8 m protective coal pillar; The values of the principal stress ratio and the principal stress deflection angle do not differ greatly in the protection of the coal pillar, and the fluctuation of the values is mainly concentrated in the vicinity of the back‐mining roadway; The second invariant of bias stress (J2) is mainly concentrated in the protective coal pillar near the side of the extraction zone, when the size of the protective coal pillar is reduced to 10 m, the J2 on the side of the extraction zone and the J2 on the side of the roadway are connected, and the whole protective coal pillar is under the influence of J2, which is basically the same as the damage pattern of the plastic zone; Based on the formula of limit balance theory to calculate the elastic core width of different sizes of protective coal pillars, and combined with the results of numerical simulation analysis, it finally concluded that the reasonable size of the protective coal pillar of this isolated island working face is 15 m.…”

Time-Frequency Characteristics and the Influence Mechanism of the EMR from Coal with Different Joint Angles by Hongwei Mu, Dazhao Song, Shan Yin, Xueqiu He, Liming Qiu, Dongfang Su, Yang Liu

“…The duration of the EMR waveform, the dominant frequency of the EMR, and the peak number of the frequency spectrum of coal samples are on the rise. (2) As the joint angle increases, the samples’ failure mode changes from the stage fracture dominated by tension cracks to the rapid fracture with the coexistence of shear and tension cracks and finally to the burst fracture which produces a large number of fragments. …”

Preventing and addressing youth vaping in British Columbia, Canada: Evidence from triangulation of a scoping review of vaping policy and qualitative interviews with school-aged you... by Ramona H. Sharma, Sarah J. Dow-Fleisner, Laura L. Struik

“…The interviews, conducted in 2020 and 2021 in the Okanagan region of British Columbia, were analyzed using NVivo software through conventional content analysis, an inductive approach where two coders collaboratively identified categories and sub-categories from participant responses using a finalized codebook. Results: The policy review identified gaps in comprehensiveness, public accessibility, and enforcement, particularly at regional levels, where policies often lack comprehensiveness and fail to address vaping-specific challenges. …”

Commonality of Virulence-Promoting Function in Rhodococcus equi Virulence Associated Proteins (Vaps) by Timothy R. Ganderton, Daniel Ghete, Karen Hogg, Graeme J. Park, Christoph G. Baumann, Anthony J. Wilkinson, Paul R. Pryor

“…There was a differential activity across these virulence-promoting Vaps with the most “acid-neutralising” activity found with VapN, then VapA and K, and finally VapB. These data suggest that VapA production, which is often found in equine infections, can be substituted by VapK and B (produced by plasmids often found in porcine species) or VapN (produced by plasmids often isolated in bovine and human samples). …”

PEER TUTORING IN LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AS A NON-MAJOR by E. A. Makarova

“…The undertaken experiment lasted for two years, showed that peer tutoring advantages in foreign language training consist in the following: firstly, such way of lessons allows teachers to avoid time-losing monotonous reading and translations of texts discouraging students; secondly, exchanging opinions, students study each other and gain skills of estimation of personal and others' work; thirdly, interacting in pairs or small groups, pupils are more active, than during the independent work or work organized by the teacher, they react to the arising educational situations; finally, such training considerably solves a problem of shortage of class periods on teaching the subject "Foreign language" as students manage to cope with much large scope of a training material as compared they manage to make during the traditional organization of an educational process.Practical significance. …”
