Steel segment–anchor bolt (cable) structure for TBM tunnels under extremely intense rockburst conditions: Design method and field application

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract presents a steel segment–anchorage support system for open TBM tunnels under extremely intense rockburst conditions. The steel segment resists dynamic impact, while the anchorage structure restrains segment deformation and transfers loads into the rock.

Lacrimal caruncula thermography overestimates rectal temperature in horses: Influence of camera type and measurement distance

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rectal temperature (RT) is the gold standard for assessing body temperature in horses, but handling and welfare concerns limit its use. Thermography of the lacrimal caruncula (LC) has been proposed as a noncontact alternative, although its accuracy may be influenced by device characteristics and measurement distance.
