1. IntroductionThe safe development of nuclear power is important. As one of the key components of a nuclear power unit, the main role of the planetary gearbox is to transmit the rotational power of the motor to the impeller of the pump. The gears in the nuclear power planetary gearbox are prone to cracks, pitting corrosion, and other faults [1]. Moreover, current research on the fault diagnosis and health monitoring of the planetary gearbox is relatively weak.

The protocol used in this study was approved by the University of Manitoba Animal Care Committee (Protocol # F14-038) and followed the guidelines of the Canadian Council for Animal Care (CCAC, 1993). As described previously [32], a total of 32 cannulated lactating dairy cows were used in a randomized complete block design with 8 blocks. Cows were blocked based on parity, previous milk yield, and calving date, and were rumen cannulated approximately 12 weeks before their expected parturition.

Using a large sample of US firms over the period of 1991–2015, we examine the economic benefits of paying dividends. We find that dividend payments mitigate stock price crash risk. We show that dividend payments reduce bad news hoarding (overinvestments) while bad news hoarding (overinvestments) is (are) positively associated with stock price crash risk, suggesting that curbing bad news hoarding and curtailing overinvestments are two channels through which dividends mitigate crash risk.

Perturbations and modulations during early life are vital to affect gut microbiome assembly and establishment. In this study, we assessed how microbial communities shifted during calf diarrhea and with probiotic yeast supplementation (Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii, SCB) and determined the key bacterial taxa contributing to the microbial assembly shifts using a total of 393 fecal samples collected from 84 pre-weaned calves during an eight-week trial.
