Mechanical behaviour analysis of cemented tailings rock backfill materials: An insight from mesoscale modelling coupled with damage plasticity model by Chaoyi Yang, Hang Lin, Rugao Gao, Zhengrong Li, Dengjun Gan, Mingwu Liu, Qifan Ren

“…The key findings include: (1) incorporating waste rock significantly enhances elasticity but slightly reduces strength; (2) a lower cement-to-tailing ratio leads to compressive damage playing a more critical role in failure patterns; and (3) increasing the maximum particle diameter negatively impacts strength. Lastly, a formula correlating the attributes of meso-components was proposed to predict the elasticity of CTRB.…”

Nuclear Industry in the Eyes of Russians: Trust and Its Determinants by I. A. Ankudinov, R. N. Abramov

“…Based on two waves of representative surveys conducted in April-May 2023-2024, we assess the factors that contribute to the formation of trust in the industry. Using factor regression analysis, structural equations, and nonparametric tests, we outline a demographic profile of a Russian “nuclear optimist” — such optimism being typical primarily for the well-off segments of the population. …”

C-N vs. C-C Bond Photodissociation in N-(tert-butyldiphenylmethyl)aniline by Stylianos Garas, Michael G. Siskos, Antonios K. Zarkadis

“…Product analyses of steady state photolyses using GC and GC-MS gave as principal products (tert-Bu)diphenylmethane, aniline and various 9-substituted fluorenyl derivatives, corroborating further the primary C-N bond cleavage and the formation of the radicals 1a• and PhNH•. Other conceivable dissociation pathways leading to the C-CMe3 or N-H bond rupture were not observed.…”
