    A Simplified Method for the Stress Analysis of Underground Transfer Structures Crossing Multiple Subway Tunnels

    Shen Yan1, Dajiang Geng2,*, Ning Dai3, Mingjian Long2, Zhicheng Bai2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 2893-2915, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.046931

    Abstract According to the design specifications, the construction of extended piles involves traversing the tunnel’s upper region and extending to the underlying rock layer. To address this challenge, a subterranean transfer structure spanning multiple subway tunnels was proposed. Deliberating on the function of piles in the transfer structure as springs with axial and bending stiffness, and taking into account the force balance and deformation coordination conditions of beams and plates within the transfer structure, we established a simplified mechanical model that incorporates soil stratification by combining it with the Winkler elastic foundation beam model. The resolved established simplified mechanical model employed… More >

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.2, pp. 371-386, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.048338

    Abstract The genus Argemone L. (Papaveraceae) is found widely distributed in Mexico’s Chihuahuan Desert (CD). Some species of this genus are of phytochemical or ethnobotanical interest. They are inedible plants considered as scrubs. To date they have not been broadly studied; thus, their ecology is, to our knowledge, unknown. The present work was centered around carrying out a morphometric analysis and the determination of minerals in the soil and seeds of the wild populations of Argemone at sites belonging to two ecoregions of the CD in Mexico. In April 2021 and April 2022, seeds of Argemone spp., and soil samples were… More >

    Abstract Habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is a crop of economic relevance in the Peninsula of Yucatan. Its fruits have a high level of capsaicinoids compared to peppers grown in other regions of the world, which gives them industrial importance. Soil is an important factor that affects pepper development, nutritional quality, and capsaicinoid content. However, the effect of soil type on fruit development and capsaicinoid metabolism has been little understood. This work aimed to compare the effect of soils with contrasting characteristics, black soil (BS) and red soil (RS), on the expression of genes related to the development of fruits, and… More >

    A. Asbayou1,*, G.P. Smestad2, I. Ismail1, A. Soussi1, A. Elfanaoui1, L. Bouhouch1, A. Ihlal1

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.2, pp. 243-258, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2024.046409

    Abstract In this paper, a detailed model of a photovoltaic (PV) panel is used to study the accumulation of dust on solar panels. The presence of dust diminishes the incident light intensity penetrating the panel’s cover glass, as it increases the reflection of light by particles. This phenomenon, commonly known as the “soiling effect”, presents a significant challenge to PV systems on a global scale. Two basic models of the equivalent circuits of a solar cell can be found, namely the single-diode model and the two-diode models. The limitation of efficiency data in manufacturers’ datasheets has encouraged us to develop an… More > Graphic Abstract

    Lipei Chen, Rilie Deng, Xuewen Li, Min Yu, Hongdong Xiao*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.92, No.12, pp. 3359-3370, 2023, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2023.046877

    Abstract

    In the rice-wheat rotation system, biochar (BC) can be applied at the initiation of the rice or wheat season. Here, we compared the effects of BC that were applied at two different crop seasons on wheat production, quality, and soil profile properties in a rice-wheat rotation system with nitrogen (N) fertilizer applied at 280 kg/ha rate. Results showed that both wheat grain production and N recovery use efficiency were influenced by BC applied at two crop seasons. Biochar application did not affect the total non-essential amino-acid, but when applied during wheat season, BC significantly (p < 0.05) increased total essential… More >
