AVERON notebook to discover actionable cancer vulnerabilities enabled by neomorph protein-protein interactions.

Genomic alterations, such as missense mutations, often lead to the activation of oncogenic pathways and cell transformation by rewiring protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Understanding how mutant-directed neomorph PPIs (neoPPIs) drive cancer is vital to developing new personalized clinical strategies. However, the experimental interrogation of neoPPI functions in patients with cancer is highly challenging. To address this challenge, we developed a computational platform, termed AVERON for discovering actionable vulnerabilities enabled by rewired oncogenic networks. AVERON enables rapid systematic profiling of the clinical significance of neomorph PPIs across different cancer types, informing molecular mechanisms of neoPPI-driven tumorigenesis, and revealing therapeutically actionable neoPPI-regulated genes. We demonstrated the application of the AVERON platform by evaluating the biological functions and clinical significance of 130 neomorph interactions, experimentally determined for oncogenic BRAFV600E. The AVERON application to broad sets of mutant-directed PPIs may inform new testable biological models and clinical strategies in cancer.

Ultrasound induced grain refinement of crystallization in evaporative saline droplets.

We investigate the effect of ultrasound on the evaporation and crystallization of sessile NaCl solution droplets which were positioned in traveling or standing wave ultrasound field. The experimental results indicated that the ultrasound field can significantly accelerate the evaporation rate of the sessile droplets and refine the crystal grains. By adjusting the distance between the sessile droplets and the ultrasound emitter, it is found that, in traveling wave ultrasound field, the sessile droplet evaporation time and the time for the appearance of NaCl grains exhibited a fluctuating increase as the droplet-emitter distance increased. While in the standing wave ultrasound, the sessile droplet evaporation rate increases with the increasing droplet-emitter distance. Overall, the traveling wave ultrasound field has a stronger effect on grain refinement of the sessile droplets than the standing wave ultrasound field. The grain refinement is attributed to the decrease of critical nucleation radius caused by ultrasound energy and the increase of the nucleation rate caused by the accelerated evaporation rate. In addition, the breakage of grains caused by ultrasonic cavitation would also lead to grain refinement.

Mechanisms of vemurafenib-induced anti-tumor effects in ATC FRO cells.

Background: Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma (ATC) is a rare and deadly malignant tumor in humans. It is prone to developing resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Molecular targeted therapy offers a novel way to treat ATC. The BRAF mutation is closely associated with many cancers, including thyroid carcinoma. Vemurafenib, a small-molecule inhibitor, is specifically designed to target the mutant serine/threonine kinase BRAF. The objective of this study is to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms underlying the effects of vemurafenib on human anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cell line FRO and to assess its potential therapeutic role. Methods: The effects of vemurafenib on the proliferation of FRO cells were assessed by the CCK-8 method and Colony-forming assay. Transwell chambers and scratch tests were employed to examine the impact of vemurafenib on the invasion and migration of FRO cells. Apoptosis and cycle distribution of FRO cells were analyzed by tunel assay and flow cytometry. The effects of vemurafenib on the expression of BRAF-activated non-protein coding RNA (BANCR), Bax, Bcl2, and E-cadherin were evaluated by qRT-PCR. Furthermore, the effects of vemurafenib on the expression of phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/phosphoinositol-3-kinase (AKT) pathway-related proteins, BRAF, CyclinD1, Bcl-2, Bax, and E-cadherin proteins in FRO cells were investigated through the western-blot method. All experiments were conducted in three replicates. Results: Vemurafenib was observed to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner (P < 0.05). The formation of FRO cell colonies, as well as migration and invasion, all showed a dose-dependent reduction (P < 0.05). Flow cytometric analysis indicated G0/G1 cell cycle arrest (P < 0.05). QRT-PCR revealed that vemurafenib could suppress the expression of BANCR and Bcl2 while increasing the expression of Bax and E-cadherin in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). The protein expression levels of Bax and E-cadherin were up-regulated significantly, and the expression levels of BRAF, CyclinD1, Bcl-2, p-PI3K, p-AKT, and p-mTOR were markedly down-regulated with increasing concentrations of vemurafenib (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The proliferation and metastasis of FRO cells can be suppressed by vemurafenib through the silencing of BRAF and BANCR expression, inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activation, induction of apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest.

Mixing with native broadleaf trees modified soil microbial communities of Cunninghamia lanceolata monocultures in South China.

Mixing with different broadleaf trees into the monocultures of Cunninghamia lanceolata is widely adopted as an efficient transformation of the pure C. lanceolata forest. However, it is unclear how native broad-leaved trees influence the belowground ecological environment of the pure C. lanceolata culture plantation in nutrient-poor soil of South China. Herein, we aimed to investigate how a long-time mixing with native broadleaf trees shape soil microbial community of the pure C. lanceolata forest across different soil depth (0-20 cm and 20-40 cm) and to clarify relationships between the modified soil microbial community and those affected soil chemical properties. Using high-throughput sequencing technology, microbial compositions from the mixed C. lanceolata-broadleaf forest and the pure C. lanceolata forest were analyzed. Network analysis was utilized to investigate correlations among microorganisms, and network robustness was assessed by calculating network natural connectivity. Results demonstrated that the content of soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen, total phosphorus and pH in mixed forest stand were significantly higher than those in pure forest stand, except for available phosphorus in topsoil (0-20 cm). Simultaneously, the mixed C. lanceolata-broadleaf forest has a more homogeneous bacterial and fungal communities across different soil depth compared with the pure C. lanceolata forest, wherein the mixed forest recruited more diverse bacterial community in subsoil (20-40 cm) and reduced the diversity of fungal community in topsoil. Meanwhile, the mixed forest showed higher bacterial community stability while the pure forest showed higher fungal community stability. Moreover, bacterial communities showed significant correlations with various soil chemical indicators, whereas fungal communities exhibited correlations with only TP and pH. Therefore, the mixed C. lanceolata-broadleaf forest rely on their recruiting bacterial community to enhance and maintain the higher nutrient status of soil while the pure C. lanceolata forest rely on some specific fungi to satisfy their phosphorus requirement for survive strategy.

Study on micromolecular mechanical properties of C-atom reinforced SBR polymer composites.

A three-layer microscopic model with Fe atoms as the top and bottom layer and SBR polymer composites as the middle layer and SBR polymer composite was established and studied. By adding C atoms as reinforcement, the stability and elastic modulus and frictional coefficient changes of SBR polymer composites before and after adding C atoms were studied. In this study, the molecular dynamics method was used to change of elastic modulus was observed by stretching, compression and shear of the SBR polymer composite; The simulation shows that after adding C atom the elastic modulus of SBR polymer composite increased, the friction coefficient of polymer composite upper and lower decreases and the relative atomsic concentration, temperature, velocity, overall temperature average, kinetic energy, total energy and MSD in the thickness direction are reduced after adding C atoms. The stability of SBR polymer composites is enhanced, and the deformation under shear is weakened. In addition, it is found that the binding energy between SBR polymer composites and Fe atoms is reduced after adding C atoms.The stability of SBR polymer composites is improved during use. This work provides a method for studying the properties of rubber composites by studying the enhancement of the stability of SBR polymer composites from the microscopic point of view.

Analysis of Photocatalytic Properties of NS-CQDs/g-C3N4 Composites.

N- and S-doped CQDs were prepared using L-cysteine as a precursor. Different NS-CQDs/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts were formed by modifying graphite-phase carbon nitride with different contents of NS-CQDs using a hydrothermal method. The morphology, constituent elements and functional groups of the composite photocatalysts were analyzed by SEM, EDS, TEM, Mapping, XRD and FT-IR as a proof of its successful preparation. Meanwhile, it was characterized by PL, UV-Vis DRS and electrochemical impedance, which proved that the CQDs could be used as an electronic memory in the composite system to accelerate the electron transfer induced by the photo-excitation of g-C3N4 and effectively inhibit the recombination of e--h+ improvement of the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4. The stability of the composite photocatalysts under different conditions and the photodegradation activity of Rh B under visible light were investigated. It was found that the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of rhodamine B by NS-CQDS-modified g-C3N4 was significantly higher than that of pure g-C3N4, which could reach 90.82%, and its degradation rate was 3.5 times higher than that of pure g-C3N4. It was demonstrated by free radical trapping experiments that ·OH and ·O2- were the main active species in the photocatalytic degradation process, in which ·O2- played a guiding role.

Synthesis and Catalytic Degradation of PEF, ENR, and CIP by g-C3N4/TCNQ/Eu Composite.

By using melamine as a precursor for the copolymerization process, g-C3N4 and g-C3N4/TCNQ/Eu complexes with various amounts of doping were created. These complexes were then examined using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, XPS, PL, UV-vis, and I-T. The degradation rates of pefloxacin (PEF), enrofloxacin (ENR), and ciprofloxacin (CIP) were 91.1%, 90.8%, and 93.2% under visible light (λ > 550 nm). The photocatalytic performance of the composite was analyzed, and the best effect was obtained for CIP photocatalysis when Eu doping was 3 mg at 20 °C and pH 7. Kinetic analysis showed that there was a linear relationship between the sample and the photocatalytic time, and the degradation rate was about 5 times that of g-C3N4. The cyclic stability of the g-C3N4/TCNQ/Eu composite sample was found to be good through repeated experiments. UPLC-MS visualizes the degradation process of CIP. The extremely low stability of piperazine ring induced subsequent degradation, followed by the fracture of quinolone ring promoting the complete decomposition of CIP.

Spatial-temporal dynamics of land use carbon emissions and drivers in 20 urban agglomerations in China from 1990 to 2019.

Urban agglomerations (UAs) are the largest carbon emitters; thus, the emissions must be controlled to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality. We use long time series land-use and energy consumption data to estimate the carbon emissions in UAs. The standard deviational ellipse (SDE) and spatial autocorrelation analysis are used to reveal the spatiotemporal evolution of carbon emissions, and the geodetector, geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR), and boosted regression trees (BRTs) are used to analyze the driving factors. The results show the following: (1) Construction land and forest land are the main carbon sources and sinks, accounting for 93% and 94% of the total carbon sources and sinks, respectively. (2) The total carbon emissions of different UAs differ substantially, showing a spatial pattern of high emissions in the east and north and low emissions in the west and south. The carbon emissions of all UAs increase over time, with faster growth in UAs with lower carbon emissions. (3) The center of gravity of carbon emissions shifts to the south (except for North China, where it shifts to the west), and carbon emissions in UAs show a positive spatial correlation, with a predominantly high-high and low-low spatial aggregation pattern. (4) Population, GDP, and the annual number of cabs are the main factors influencing carbon emissions in most UAs, whereas other factors show significant differences. Most exhibit an increasing trend over time in their impact on carbon emissions. In general, China still faces substantial challenges in achieving the dual carbon goal. The carbon control measures of different UAs should be targeted in terms of energy utilization, green and low-carbon production, and consumption modes to achieve the low-carbon and green development goals of the United Nations' sustainable cities and beautiful China's urban construction as soon as possible.

Graphene-Based Flexible Strain Sensor Based on PDMS for Strain Detection of Steel Wire Core Conveyor Belt Joints.

Because of their superior performance, flexible strain sensors are used in a wide range of applications, including medicine and health, human-computer interaction, and precision manufacturing. Flexible strain sensors outperform conventional silicon-based sensors in high-strain environments. However, most current studies report complex flexible sensor preparation processes, and research focuses on enhancing and improving one parameter or property of the sensors, ignoring the feasibility of flexible strain sensors for applications in various fields. Since the mechanical properties of flexible sensors can be well combined with rubber conveyor belts, in this work polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was used as a flexible substrate by a simple way of multiple drop coating. Graphene-based flexible strain sensor films that can be used for strain detection at the joints of steel cord core conveyor belts were successfully fabricated. The results of the tests show that the sensor has a high sensitivity and can achieve a fast response (response time: 43 ms). Furthermore, the sensor can still capture the conveyor belt strain after withstanding high pressure (1.2-1.4 MPa) and high temperature (150 °C) during the belt vulcanization process. This validates the feasibility of using flexible strain sensors in steel wire core conveyor belts and has some potential for detecting abnormal strains in steel wire core conveyor belt, broadening the application field of flexible sensors.

Evaporation of Saline Droplets on a Superhydrophobic Substrate: Formation of Crystal Shell and "Legs".

We studied the evaporation-driven crystallization in the droplets of sodium acetate anhydrous (CH3COONa) aqueous solution, which were deposited on superhydrophobic substrates. The results reveal distinct crystallization behaviors between saturated and unsaturated droplets under identical experimental conditions. Specifically, unsaturated droplets could form a quasi-spherical crystal shell on the superhydrophobic substrate, while saturated droplets could develop crystal legs between the droplet and substrate when the crystal shell formed. Subsequently, the saturated droplet was lifted off the substrate by the growing crystal legs. The formation of crystal shell was closely associated with the evaporation from the droplet surface and the internal convection inside the droplet. The formation of crystal legs was induced by the heterogeneous nucleation effect caused by the substrate of SiO2 nanoparticles. These findings provide valuable insights into regulating the morphology of salt crystallization through adjustments in salt solution concentration and substrate surface structure.

Toward Enhanced Aerosol Particle Adsorption in Never-Bursting Bubble via Acoustic Levitation and Controlled Liquid Compensation.

Bubbles in air are ephemeral because of gravity-induced drainage and liquid evaporation, which severely limits their applications, especially as intriguing bio/chemical reactors. In this work, a new approach using acoustic levitation combined with controlled liquid compensation to stabilize bubbles is proposed. Due to the suppression of drainage by sound field and prevention of capillary waves by liquid compensation, the bubbles can remain stable and intact permanently. It has been found that the acoustically levitated bubble shows a significantly enhanced particle adsorption ability because of the oscillation of the bubble and the presence of internal acoustic streaming. The results shed light on the development of novel air-purification techniques without consuming any solid filters.

Curcumin-dependent phenotypic transformation of microglia mediates resistance to pseudorabies-induced encephalitis.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) causes viral encephalitis, a devastating disease with high mortality worldwide. Curcumin (CUR) can reduce inflammatory damage by altering the phenotype of microglia; however, whether and how these changes mediate resistance to PRV-induced encephalitis is still unclear. In this study, BV2 cells were infected with/without PRV for 24 h and further treated with/without CUR for 24 h. The results indicated that CUR promoted the polarization of PRV-infected BV2 cells from the M1 phenotype to the M2 phenotype and reversed PRV-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, M1 BV2 cell secretions induced signalling pathways leading to apoptosis in PC-12 neuronal cells, and this effect was abrogated by the secretions of M2 BV2 cells. RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis predicted that this phenotypic shift may be due to changes in energy metabolism. Furthermore, Western blot analysis showed that CUR inhibited the increase in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation, glycolysis, and triacylglycerol synthesis and the reduction in oxidative phosphorylation induced by PRV infection. Moreover, the ATP levels in M2 BV2 cells were higher than those in M1 cells. Furthermore, CUR prevented the increase in mortality, elevated body temperature, slowed growth, nervous system excitation, brain tissue congestion, vascular cuffing, and other symptoms of PRV-induced encephalitis in vivo. Thus, this study demonstrated that CUR protected against PRV-induced viral encephalitis by switching the phenotype of BV2 cells, thereby protecting neurons from inflammatory injury, and this effect was mediated by improving mitochondrial function and the AMPK/NF-κB p65-energy metabolism-related pathway.

Auxin plays a role in the adaptation of rice to anaerobic germination and seedling establishment.

Auxin is well known to stimulate coleoptile elongation and rapid seedling growth in the air. However, its role in regulating rice germination and seedling establishment under submergence is largely unknown. Previous studies revealed that excessive levels of indole-3-acetic acid(IAA) frequently cause the inhibition of plant growth and development. In this study, the high-level accumulation of endogenous IAA is observed under dark submergence, stimulating rice coleoptile elongation but limiting the root and primary leaf growth during anaerobic germination (AG). We found that oxygen and light can reduce IAA levels, promote the seedling establishment and enhance rice AG tolerance. miRNA microarray profiling and RNA gel blot analysis results show that the expression of miR167 is negatively regulated by submergence; it subsequently modulates the accumulation of free IAA through the miR167-ARF-GH3 pathway. The OsGH3-8 encodes an IAA-amido synthetase that functions to prevent free IAA accumulation. Reduced miR167 levels or overexpressing OsGH3-8 increase auxin metabolism, reduce endogenous levels of free IAA and enhance rice AG tolerance. Our studies reveal that poor seed germination and seedling growth inhibition resulting from excessive IAA accumulation would cause intolerance to submergence in rice, suggesting that a certain threshold level of auxin is essential for rice AG tolerance.

Rapid and efficient isolation platform for plasma extracellular vesicles: EV-FISHER.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have found diverse applications in clinical theranostics. However, the current techniques to isolate plasma EVs suffer from burdensome procedures and limited yield. Herein, we report a rapid and efficient EV isolation platform, namely, EV-FISHER, constructed from the metal-organic framework featuring cleavable lipid probes (PO4 3- -spacer-DNA-cholesterol, PSDC). The EV-FISHER baits EVs from plasma by cholesterol and separates them with an ordinary centrifuge. The captured EVs could be released and collected upon subsequent cleavage of PSDC by deoxyribonuclease I. We conclude that EV-FISHER dramatically outperforms the ultracentrifugation (UC) in terms of time (∼40 min vs. 240 min), isolation efficiency (74.2% vs. 18.1%), and isolation requirement (12,800 g vs. 135,000 g). In addition to the stable performance in plasma, EV-FISHER also exhibited excellent compatibility with downstream single-EV flow cytometry, enabling the identification of glypican-1 (GPC-1) EVs for early diagnosis, clinical stages differentiation, and therapeutic efficacy evaluation in breast cancer cohorts. This work portrays an efficient strategy to isolate EVs from complicated biological fluids with promising potential to facilitate EVs-based theranostics.

Pituitary-Gland-Based Genes Participates in Intrauterine Growth Restriction in Piglets.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major problem associated with piglet growth performance. The incidence of IUGR is widespread in Rongchang pigs. The pituitary gland is important for regulating growth and metabolism, and research has identified genes associated with growth and development. The pituitary gland of newborn piglets with normal birth weight (NBW group, n = 3) and (IUGR group, n = 3) was collected for transcriptome analysis. A total of 323 differentially expression genes (DEGs) were identified (|log2(fold-change)| > 1 and q value < 0.05), of which 223 were upregulated and 100 were downregulated. Gene Ontology (GO) functional and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses showed that the DEGs were mainly related to the extracellular matrix, regulation of the multicellular organismal process, tissue development and angiogenesis, which participate in the growth and immune response in IUGR piglets. Moreover, 7 DEGs including IGF2, THBS1, ITGA1, ITGA8, EPSTI1, FOSB, and UCP2 were associated with growth and immune response. Furthermore, based on the interaction network analysis of the DEGs, two genes, IGF2 and THBS1, participated in cell proliferation, embryonic development and angiogenesis. IGF2 and THBS1 were also the main genes participating in the IUGR. This study identified the core genes involved in IUGR in piglets and provided a reference for exploring the effect of the pituitary gland on piglet growth.

An analysis of digging anchor machine stability and track wear under digging conditions.

To analyse the stability of a digging anchor machine under digging conditions, the dynamics model of the anchor machine and the interaction mechanics model between its tracks and the roadway floor are constructed with a Sandvik MB670-1 digging anchor machine in the context of the Zhang Jiamao 5-2 coal seam of the Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry Group. The discrete element method (DEM) and multibody dynamics (MBD) two-way coupling algorithm is used to simulate the cutting process of a full coal seam and coal rock containing gangue by using a digging anchor machine in a roadway. The changes in the cutting depth of the digging anchor machine drum, the sliding distance of the track and the stress‒strain pattern of the roadway floor are obtained. Finally, through shear slip testing, the stress distribution and deformation pattern of the roadway floor under different grouser parameters of the digging anchor machine track shoe, as well as the wear characteristics of the track shoe, are obtained. The results of this study can provide a theoretical basis for the control and reliability of the digging anchor machine and the life fatigue prediction of its tracks.

Identification and modelling of dynamic parameters for round link chains subject to axial loads.

A round link chain subject to axial dynamic loads composes a nonlinear viscoelastic system. Unlike the classical pounding problems, the round link chain will not only suffer linear elastic deformation, but also nonlinear plastic or impacting deformation. Based on theoretical formulation and experiments, a new approach is presented in this paper to model and identify the nonlinear dynamic parameters, namely the stiffness and damping for the round link chain. With linear deformation, nonlinear deformation and energy dissipation considered, a modified nonlinear viscoelastic model is developed to describe the vibrational behavior of the chain with numbers of round links. The linear elastic model and impacting model are combined to derive the equivalent nonlinear stiffness, while experiments and the least square fitting method are employed to identify the nonlinear damping according to the modified nonlinear viscoelastic model. The influences of the key parameters such as the length of the chain, elastic module and loading frequency on the dynamic stiffness and damping are investigated. Another test is performed to validate the identification model and good agreements are observed.

Evaporation Caused Invaginations of Acoustically Levitated Colloidal Droplets.

Controlled buckling of colloidal droplets via acoustic levitation plays an important role in pharmaceutical, coating, and material self-assembly. In this study, the evaporation process of PTFE colloidal droplets with two particle concentrations (60 wt% and 20 wt%) was investigated under acoustic levitation. We report the occurrence of surface invagination caused by evaporation. For the high particle concentration droplet, the upper surface was invaginated, eventually forming a bowl-shaped structure. While for the low particle concentration droplet, both the upper and lower surfaces of the droplet were invaginated, resulting in a doughnut-like structure. For the acoustically levitated oblate spherical droplet, the dispersant loss at the equatorial area of the droplet is greater than that at the two poles. Therefore, the thickness of the solid shell on the surface of the droplet was not uniform, resulting in invagination at the weaker pole area. Moreover, once the droplet surface was buckling, the hollow cavity on the droplet surface would absorb the sound energy and results in strong positive acoustic radiation pressure at bottom of the invagination, thus further prompting the invagination process.

Analysis on vertical-pitch coupled dynamics characteristics of shearer with corrected load.

With regard to the severe vertical and pitching vibration of shearer in actual working conditions, the vertical-pitch coupled dynamics model of shearer with 13 degrees of freedom was established using multi-body dynamics theory. Based on the elasticity theory, Hertz contact and collision dynamics, the connection stiffness model of shear body and the traction section, the rocker arm with clearance and the traction section, the support stiffness models for the guide shoe and the smooth shoe, and the stiffness characteristics model of the rocker arm were constructed respectively. Taking into account the convergence of solution process and the reliability of results, a modified drum load was proposed as the external excitation of the system and the dynamic characteristics of key parts of shearer under different working conditions were analyzed. The numerical models were validated against the vibration responses of the whole machine and critical components of shearer obtained from mechanical test under different operating conditions. The research results provide theoretical basis for the structure optimization and process parameter optimization of shearer.

Dynamical behavior of coal shearer under the influence of multiple factors in slant-cutting conditions.

Aiming at the problem of severe vibration and abnormal wear and tear of various components in coal shearer under slant-cutting conditions, a non-linear dynamics model with 13 degrees of freedom for a coal shearer under slant-cutting conditions is developed using vibration mechanics and multi-body dynamics theory, and the characteristics of the slide shoes-middle groove contact, the ranging arm-haulage unit connection with gaps and the guidance sliding boots-pin rail multi-surface contact with gaps are described based on three-dimensional fractal theory and Hertz contact theory. Based on Huco's law, the ranging arm and the hydraulic rod are assumed to be flexible beams, the rigidity characteristics of the ranging arm itself, the connection characteristics of the haulage unit and the fuselage are described, a drum correction load with a traction speed correction factor is proposed as the external excitation of the system, and the model is solved and analyzed. The research results show that the change of traction speed has a greater influence on the vibration swing angle and displacement of the front drum, front ranging arm and front walking unit, and the vibration swing angle and displacement of the three increase with the increase of traction speed, while the change of coalface hardness coefficient has less influence on the vibration displacement of the key components of the coal shearer. Under the working parameters of v = 3 m/min and f = 3, the swing angle and displacement of the front ranging arm and front drum fluctuate in the ranges of - 0.4-0.1 rad and - 15-15 mm respectively; the vibration acceleration is - 300-300 rad/s2 and - 200-200 mm/s2 respectively, the main vibration frequencies are 16.63 Hz and 12.14 Hz respectively, and finally the results are verified by experimental methods.
