Summary: This paper analyzes the spatial-temporal distribution characteristics, hot topics, and frontier trends of the international mine dust field using Citespace and VOSviewer knowledge graph technology. The study shows that mine dust research can be divided into three stages and the main themes include the whole process of dust generation, transport, prevention, and control, as well as the consequences of disaster. The current hot research fields mainly focus on dust particle pollution, multi-stage dust prevention, and emission reduction technologies, and mine occupational protection, monitoring, and early warning. Future research should focus on dust production and transportation mechanisms, efficient prevention and control theory, technology and equipment for precise prevention and control, and high-precision monitoring and early warning of dust concentration.

Summary: Microbial sulfonamide degradation (MSD) is an efficient and safe treatment method in natural and engineered ecosystems. A bibliometric analysis of data from Web of Science (WoS) and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) was conducted to understand the research status and trends of MSD. China, Germany, Spain, the United States, and Australia were the leading countries in terms of high-impact publications, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences was the leading research institution. The top journal in terms of citations was Chemosphere. MSD research has evolved from basic laboratory experiments to complex environmental microbial communities and molecular mechanisms. Proteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Burkholderiales, and Alcaligenaceae were the most frequently observed classifications, while Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Achromobacter were the top three genera in MSD research.

Summary: Rock mass disasters in underground engineering occur due to the disruption of the original stress equilibrium caused by excavation, leading to stress redistribution. During excavation, the rock mass undergoes complex stress equilibrium processes involving loading and unloading, promoting the initiation and propagation of pre-existing cracks and weakening the rock mass. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the current status and development trends in crack propagation and evolution research.

Summary: This study found that low-voltage zones (LVZ) in the roof of the left atrium may increase the risk of atrial arrhythmia (AA) recurrence after initial catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The proportion of left atrial LVZ and longer AF duration were identified as independent predictors of AA recurrence.

Summary: High seawater DMS concentrations were observed in the Southern Ocean near the Antarctic Peninsula during the austral summer of 2015-2016, with levels reaching up to 85.2 nM and generally above 40 nM in areas with phytoplankton blooms and abundant microzooplankton. This implies that grazing by microzooplankton may be responsible for the ultrahigh seawater DMS concentrations during bloom seasons in the Southern Ocean.

Summary: Underground engineering excavation can lead to rock damage and instability failure, especially in inclined stratified rock masses. The evolution mechanism and deformation failure properties of a deep roadway in inclined rock strata were investigated using various methods. The results showed that the deformation failure of the roadway displayed asymmetry and time sequence. Ground stress and structural planes played important roles in the development and evolution of the surrounding rock damage zone. The conclusions of this study provide a theoretical reference and key technologies for underground engineering in similar geological conditions.

Summary: Ensiling is a microbial-driven process used to preserve fresh forage in bio-refinery and animal production. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species are widely recognized as additives in silage production. However, there is a lack of information on gene expression and molecular mechanisms of microbiota involved in silage production, leading to inconsistent silage quality. Modern research focuses on improving LAB inoculants through advanced biotechnological approaches. This review highlights the role of LAB inoculants in silage production and explores the use of metabolomics, proteomics, metagenomics, genomics, transcriptomics, and genetic manipulation for developing high-performance LAB strains. It also discusses the trends and future perspectives of LAB development for silage improvement in sustainable agriculture.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of source and repetition on the illusory truth effect and dissemination of fake news on social media. The results show that the illusory truth effect leads to the viral spread of fake news, despite people's intention to share balanced and real news stories. Furthermore, the influence of source on the evaluation of news quality has decreased, while sharers on social media have become more influential.
