Numerical Simulation of Ore Particle Flow Behaviour through a Single Drawpoint under the Influence of a Flexible Barrier by Qingfa Chen, Shikang Qin, Qinglin Chen

“…., the shape of a spinning top). (2) The height of the draw column increased rapidly and exponentially in the early period of the draw, presented a linear growth tendency during the medium period with an increase in the accumulated mass drawn, and remained at a certain value in the later period. (3) The morphology of the flexible barrier presented a Gaussian distribution on the whole, but its bottom had an analogous parabola morphology, particularly in the late stage. (4) The cavity began to form with the ore particles at the highest horizon drawn; the cavity development presented an evolutionary process from the microscopic to macroscopic regime, and the morphology of the cavity was crescent in the early stage and triangular in the late stage.…”

Virulence Adaptation by Rice Planthoppers and Leafhoppers to Resistance Genes and Loci: A Review by Finbarr G. Horgan

“…This review tracks patterns in virulence adaptation to resistance genes (particularly <i>Bph1</i>, <i>bph2</i>, <i>Bph3</i>, and <i>bph4</i>) and examines the nature of virulence based on selection experiments, responses by virulent populations to differential rice varieties (i.e., varieties with different resistance genes), and breeding experiments that interpret the genetic mechanisms underlying adaptation. …”
