The genomics of postglacial vicariance and freshwater adaptations in European subarctic threespine sticklebacks by Dhurba Adhikari, Bård Ove Karlsen, Tor Erik Jørgensen, Steinar Daae Johansen, Jarle Tryti Nordeide, Truls Borg Moum

“…The upper lake is unique in that it harbors a population of polymorphic sticklebacks, some with fully developed and others with reduced pelvic structures. Our results based on deep sequencing of pooled population samples showed common signatures of selection for freshwater sticklebacks in certain parts of the genome, such as the Eda containing region, but also evidence of differential selection, and the presence of large chromosomal inversions that seem to play an essential role in stickleback evolution. …”

Towards Smart and Resilient City Networks: Assessing the Network Structure and Resilience in Chengdu–Chongqing Smart Urban Agglomeration by Rui Li, Yuhang Wang, Zhiyue Zhang, Yi Lu

“…The main conclusions are as follows: (1) subnetworks exhibit a ‘core/periphery’ structure with a significant evolution trend, particularly the metropolitan area integration degree of capital cities has significantly improved; (2) the technology network is the most resilient but was the most affected by COVID-19, while the population and information networks are the least resilient, resulting from poor hierarchy, disassortativity, and agglomeration; (3) network resilience can be improved through system optimization and node enhancement. …”

Effects of Humic Acid from Weathered Coal on Water-Stable Aggregates and Pore Structure of a Reclaimed Cambisol by Xiaoying Di, Wenhua Fan, Qinghui Meng, Fenwu Liu, Gailing Wang

“…The humic acid of weathered coal promoted the disintegration and transformation of water-stable aggregates and increased soil pore <i>p</i> > 75 μm. At 3 years, the structure of reclaimed soil was the most stable, with more robust connected pores, and the irregular pores increased. …”

Experimental Study and Numerical Analysis of Structural Performance of CRTS II Slab Track under Extreme High Temperature by Anxiang Song, Guowen Yao, Xuanrui Yu, Yuerui Wang, Yifei Wu

“…The results are shown as follows: (1) the cement asphalt (CA) mortar layer has a hysteretic effect on the vertical temperature transfer. The most unfavorable structural part is between the track slab and the CA mortar layer of the track structure. (2) The constraint conditions accelerate the rate of temperature transfer, creating disturbances to the internal stresses of the track structure and amplifying the internal stresses induced by the environmental temperature increase. (3) Temperature and longitudinal stresses in the track’s structural layers are highly correlated. …”
