Research on Lateral Vibration and Load Sensitivity Reductions for Large-Scale Complex Nonconservative Systems Using Rigid-Flex Coupling Simulation Technique by Qi-bin Wang, Xing-jia Xu, Si-yang Piao, Chun-ge Nie, Qiu-ze Li, Ming-wei Piao

“…A supporting platform was then established for multidisciplinary collaborative design optimization to scientifically promote the design speed, including inherent rigid-flex coupling relationship and integrity protection of nonconservative systems and associated individual structures. Combined with analysis results of long-term tracking online testing conclusions from Chinese practices of high-speed rails, relevant theoretical deductions find that the magnitude of quasistatic strain energy is one of the critical influencing factors in determining the dynamic interactions on coupling interfaces of interest. …”

Morphometry of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium brasiliense (Caridea: Palaemonidae) and its relationship with reproductive strategy by Caio S. Nogueira, Ariádine Cristine Almeida

“…The average length of the largest and smallest cheliped in males was 9.9 ± 4.8 and 9.2 ± 4.26 mm, while for females it was 7.3 ± 2.4 and 6.8 ± 2.3 mm, respectively. The variation in size and developmental rate of structures suggests that the species follow a mate guarding reproductive strategy since males have well-developed chelipeds to be able to court and guard females during copulation.…”
