Jørgensen’s Inequality and Algebraic Convergence Theorem in Quaternionic Hyperbolic Isometry Groups

We obtain an analogue of Jørgensen's inequality in quaternionic hyperbolic space. As an application, we prove that if the r-generator quaternionic Kleinian group satisfies I-condition, then its algebraic limit is also a quaternionic Kleinian group. Our results are generalizations of the counterparts in the n-dimensional real hyperbolic space

Flux regulation through glycolysis and respiration is balanced by inositol pyrophosphates in yeast

Although many prokaryotes have glycolysis alternatives, it\u27s considered as the only energy-generating glucose catabolic pathway in eukaryotes. Here, we managed to create a hybrid-glycolysis yeast. Subsequently, we identified an inositol pyrophosphatase encoded by OCA5 that could regulate glycolysis and respiration by adjusting 5-diphosphoinositol 1,2,3,4,6-pentakisphosphate (5-InsP7) levels. 5-InsP7 levels could regulate the expression of genes involved in glycolysis and respiration, representing a global mechanism that could sense ATP levels and regulate central carbon metabolism. The hybrid-glycolysis yeast did not produce ethanol during growth under excess glucose and could produce 2.68 g/L free fatty acids, which is the highest reported production in shake flask of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This study demonstrated the significance of hybrid-glycolysis yeast and determined Oca5 as an inositol pyrophosphatase controlling the balance between glycolysis and respiration, which may shed light on the role of inositol pyrophosphates in regulating eukaryotic metabolism

Mining Safety of Longwall Top-coal Caving in China

Longwall top-coal caving technology has developed rapidly in China, in recent years. The application of longwall top-coal caving can double both the productivity and the efficiency of a working face and reduce the cost of production by 30 to 40%. Using standard longwall equipment, annual production can reach 3 million metric tons (Mt), and a maximum of 4.1 Mt has been obtained; many top-coal caving longwall working faces can obtain 200 tons per man-shift. Longwall top-coal caving is distinctly different from slice mining in thicken seam. Concerns of safety and productivity for this method have been raised in recent years. This paper will discuss the following: 1) how to recognize the law of firedamp emission, accumulation and outburst; 2) how to resolve the ventilation problem in a highly gassy working face; 3) how to recognize the law of spontaneous combustion of ignitable coal, and to avoid spontaneous combustion in gob area; and 4) How to control dust in longwall top-coal caving face

The Boundedness on Mixed Hardy Spaces

The boundedness of operators on Hardy spaces is usually given by atomic decomposition. In this paper, we obtain the boundedness of singular integral operators in mixed Journé class on mixed Hardy spaces by a direct method

A New Method of Boundary Treatment in Heat Conduction Problems with Finite Element Method

AbstractIn regards to the defect of respectively handling three conditions, this paper puts forward a new unified expression fitting for different boundary conditions. It also obtains the parameter values of expression in different boundary conditions. Take the infinite square cylinder putting into cold liquor as an example, it works out a program using the improved new boundary treatment to simulate cylinder temperature field. This paper gets distributions of temperature field at four different times. The results of simulation not only meet the physical situation, but also have high precision compared with the theoretical solutions. Since being easy to deal with complex boundary conditions, the new way makes the FEM useful again in engineering calculation and research

Numerical Simulation of Deformation and Failure Mechanism of Main Inclined Shaft in Yuxi Coal Mine, China

Disturbance stresses can cause deformation and damage to a tunnel’s rock, potentially threatening the mine’s safety. This paper investigates the effects of disturbance damage on the main inclined shaft due to the excavation of an electromechanical chamber in a deep inclined shaft at Yuxi Mine. Specifically, a numerical model was constructed using Midas GTX NX and Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua in Three Dimensions (FLAC3D) to match the actual engineering conditions, and to reveal the stresses and deformations in the surrounding rock of the main inclined shaft before and after the excavation of the main inclined shaft, the electromechanical chamber and the head chamber. The results revealed that the surrounding rock stress around the main inclined shaft is significantly influenced by excavation disturbance. The bottom bulge occurred due to the unstable vertical and shear stresses in the bottom coal bed moving into free space. After the excavation of the electromechanical chamber, the maximum displacement of the floor can be increased from 0.35468 m to 0.64301 m, nearly doubled, and a large area of surrounding rock deformation occurs in the inclined shaft falling roadway. Affected by excavation disturbance, the maximum deformation of floor can reach 1.06 m, with a wide fluctuation range. The main area of damage to the surrounding rock was identified, except for the main inclined shaft, which occurred near the intersection of the inclined shaft and the drop level location. This area is mainly affected by superimposed tensile stress damage, prone to large area floor heave and spalling. The research content is expected to provide certain theoretical support in taking measures to deal with the deformation and failure of the surrounding rock in a main inclined shaft

A Review on Regulation of Irrigation Management on Wheat Physiology, Grain Yield, and Quality

Irrigation has been pivotal in sustaining wheat as a major food crop in the world and is increasingly important as an adaptation response to climate change. In the context of agricultural production responding to climate change, improved irrigation management plays a significant role in increasing water productivity (WP) and maintaining the sustainable development of water resources. Considering that wheat is a major crop cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions, which consumes high amounts of irrigation water, developing wheat irrigation management with high efficiency is urgently required. Both irrigation scheduling and irrigation methods intricately influence wheat physiology, affect plant growth and development, and regulate grain yield and quality. In this frame, this review aims to provide a critical analysis of the regulation mechanism of irrigation management on wheat physiology, plant growth and yield formation, and grain quality. Considering the key traits involved in wheat water uptake and utilization efficiency, we suggest a series of future perspectives that could enhance the irrigation efficiency of wheat
