A Peridynamics-Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Coupling Method for Fluid-Structure Interaction by Chengjie Cao, Chenxu Gu, Chao Wang, Chunhui Wang, Pei Xu, Hui Wang

“…Moreover, the method demonstrated a high degree of accuracy in simulating the fracture of in-situ cantilever ice beams, with deflection closely matching experimental data and a 7.4% error in maximum loading force. The proposed PD-SPH coupling approach demonstrates its effectiveness in capturing the complex fluid–structure interactions and provides a valuable tool for studying the deformation and fracture of structures under the influence of fluid forces.…”

Structure of the Cellulose Synthase Complex of Gluconacetobacter hansenii at 23.4 Å Resolution. by Juan Du, Venkata Vepachedu, Sung Hyun Cho, Manish Kumar, B Tracy Nixon

“…It is thus believed that synthesis from an organized array of TCs coordinated with extrusion by AcsC and AcsD enable this bacterium to make crystalline cellulose. The only structural data that exist for this system are the above mentioned freeze-fracture TEM images, fluorescence microscopy images revealing that TCs align in a row, a crystal structure of AcsD bound to cellopentaose, and a crystal structure of PilZ domain of AcsA. …”

Climate regulates alpine lake ice cover phenology and aquatic ecosystem structure by Daniel L. Preston, Nel Caine, Diane M. McKnight, Mark W. Williams, Katherina Hell, Matthew P. Miller, Sarah J. Hart, Pieter T. J. Johnson

“…Abstract High‐elevation aquatic ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate change, yet relatively few records are available to characterize shifts in ecosystem structure or their underlying mechanisms. Using a long‐term data set on seven alpine lakes (3126 to 3620 m) in Colorado, USA, we show that ice‐off dates have shifted 7 days earlier over the past 33 years and that spring weather conditions—especially snowfall—drive yearly variation in ice‐off timing. …”
