Development of the US Plans for Post-War Japan during World War II by A. A. Sidorov

“…In that regard, the author pays particular attention to the staff shortage, which forced the Department of State to strengthen partnership with private research organizations and involve them in long-term planning.The author emphasizes that if before the United States entered the war the US planners adopted a rather tough stance on Japan, after the attack on Pearl Harbor their approaches paradoxically changed. …”

Phase II trial of nab-paclitaxel plus ramucirumab in combination with nivolumab for unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer after progression on first-line treatment incl... by Hidekazu Hirano, Naoki Takahashi, Yusuke Amanuma, Nobumi Suzuki, Daisuke Takahari, Takeshi Kawakami, Chie Kudo-Saito, Kengo Nagashima, Narikazu Boku, Ken Kato, Hirokazu Shoji

“…These rationales imply that nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab)-paclitaxel plus ramucirumab in combination with nivolumab (anti-PD-1 antibody) may enhance anti-tumor effects as second-line treatment. Therefore, we hypothesized that this triplet regimen may improve clinical outcomes in patients with AGC who experienced disease progression on first-line treatment including anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody. …”

A key technology for synergistic backfilling of coal-based solid waste and high-salinity wastewater by Shuning DONG, Shujiang YU, Xingling DONG, Buqin ZHANG, Xiaoming GUO, Xiaodong WANG, Kai WANG, Shibin ZHU, Boqiang WU, Lei LIU

“…The leaching test results of the solidified filling paste indicate that the primary pollutant concentrations in the leachate all fell below the requirements of Class III water standard specified in Identification standards for hazardous wastes-Identification for extraction toxicity (GB 5085.3—2007) and Standard for groundwater quality (GB/T 14848—2017). Therefore, the technology for synergistic treatment of coal-based solid waste and mine high-salinity water can meet the relevant standards in the assessment of mechanical properties and environmental stability. …”

Serial test is superior to the traditional sequences random tests by YU Yi-zhou1, OU Hai-wen 1

“…Random sequences play an important role in cryptographic research.NIST publishes 16 standard tests in March,2001 to test the randomness of binary sequences.Serial test is included in the 16 tests but the traditional ordered-pair test and poker test are not.Serial test was analyzed to be superior to the other two tests even when they are used together.So it can replace them and be selected by NIST.…”

Effect of Mining Thickness on Overburden Movement and Underground Pressure Characteristics for Extrathick Coal Seam by Sublevel Caving with High Bottom Cutting Height by Yongkang Yang, Yanrong Ma, Chunxu Ji, Tianhe Kang, Xingyun Guo

“…Some conclusions can be drawn as follows: (i) under the “beam-hinged cantilever beam rocks” structure theory, the rock pillar thickness which needs to be controlled increases linearly as a function of mining thickness is achieved, and the reason of increased of support resistance in full-mechanized caving mining in extremely thick seams is explained in the theory; (ii) based on the results of the theoretical analysis and the lab simulation tests, the law of the abutment pressure peak is inverse to the full-seam mining thickness, and the distance between abutment peak and working face is proportional to the full-seam mining thickness, that is to say that the damage range of overlying strata increased; (iii) there are three working states of loading support in extrathick coal seams, such as normal circumstance, lower main roof pressure, and higher main roof pressure, meanwhile these states keep changing; (iv) under the guarantee of stope safety conditions, due to lower support strength, it will benefit the special thick seam top-coal caving under normal circumstance; (v) increasing the supporting strength can balance the impact loading under the lower main roof pressure, guaranteeing valid support for roof strata; (vi) by releasing high pressure, due to lower production, lower recovery rate of coal and other measures guarantee the stability of the stope support in the case of the higher main roof pressure.…”
