ABSTRACT
Deformation control of deep roadways is a major challenge for mine safety production. Taking a deep roadway with a burial depth of 965 m in a mine in North China as the engineering background, on-site investigation found that significant creep deformation occurred in the surrounding rock of the roadway. The original supporting U-shaped steel support failed due to insufficient supporting strength. The rock mass near the roadway experienced a transition from triaxial stress conditions to biaxial and even uniaxial stress states as a result of excavation and unloading, leading to a gradient stress distribution in the surrounding rock. From the perspective of the roadway's deviatoric stress field distribution, we investigated the gradient failure mechanism of the roadway and validated it through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. The study found that the ratio of horizontal principal stress and vertical principal stress determines the distribution shape of the surrounding rock deviatoric stress field. The gradient distribution of the stress field in the roadway will cause time-related deformation of the roadway, which will lead to large deformation and failure of the roadway. Based on this, the control mechanism of roadway gradient failure was studied, and then a combined support technology of CFST supports with high bearing capacity was proposed.
ABSTRACT
Using a batch thermophilic anaerobic system established with 60 mL serum bottles, the mechanism on how microbial enrichments obtained from magnetite-amended paddy soil via repeated batch cultivation affected methane production from acetate was investigated. Magnetite-amended enrichments (MAEs) can improve the methane production rate rather than the methane yield. Compared with magnetite-unamended enrichments, the methane production rate in MAE was improved by 50%, concomitant with the pronounced electrochemical response, high electron transfer capacity, and fast acetate degradation. The promoting effects might be ascribed to direct interspecies electron transfer facilitated by magnetite, where magnetite might function as electron conduits to link the acetate oxidizers (Anaerolineaceae and Peptococcaceae) with methanogens (Methanosarcinaceae). The findings demonstrated the potential application of MAE for boosting methanogenic performance during thermophilic anaerobic digestion.

Due to its traditional fermentation, there are obvious limits on the quality improvements in black tea. However, microbial fermentation can provide an abundance of metabolites and improve the flavor of tea. The "golden flower" fungi are widely used in the microbial fermentation of tea and has unique uses in healthcare. To further explore the improvements in black tea quality achieved via microbial fermentation, we used widely targeted metabolomics and metagenomics analyses to investigate the changes in and effects of metabolites and other microorganisms during the interaction between the "golden flower" fungi and black tea. Five key flavor metabolites were detected, the levels of catechin, epigallocatechin gallate, (-)-epicatechin gallate were decreased by different degrees after the inoculation of the "golden flower" fungus, whereas the levels of caffeine and (+)-gallocatechin increased. Botryosphaeriaceae, Botryosphaeriales, Dothideomycetes, Aspergillaceae, Trichocomaceae, and Lecanoromycetes play a positive role in the black tea fermentation process after inoculation with the "golden flower" fungi. D-Ribose can prevent hypoxia-induced apoptosis in cardiac cells, and it shows a strong correlation with Botryosphaeriaceae and Botryosphaeriales. The interaction between microorganisms and metabolites is manifested in tryptophan metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, and amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism. In conclusion, the changes in metabolites observed during the fermentation of black tea by "golden flower" fungi are beneficial to human health. This conclusion extends the knowledge of the interaction between the "golden flower" fungi and black tea, and it provides important information for improving the quality of black tea.
