Coconut residues increase light fraction of organic matter and water retention in semi-arid sandy soil under irrigated cultivation by Isnara Evelin Barbosa da Silva, Magnus Dall’Igna Deon, Davi José Silva, Francisco Alisson da Silva Xavier, Ana Paula Guimarães Santos, Diana Signor

“…The highest C contents in the fraction >53 µm and the highest soil water retention were observed three years after the deposition of coconut shells on the surface, which suggests the need for reapplying the residues after this period to maintain the benefits.…”

Advanced GPU Techniques for Dynamic Remeshing and Self-Collision Handling in Real-Time Cloth Tearing by Jong-Hyun Kim, Jung Lee

“…In this paper, we propose a GPU-based framework to accelerate dynamic remeshing and self-collision handling required for tearing thin-shell materials such as cloth: 1) Dynamic remeshing involves updating the shape and connectivity information at the element/node level, making parallel computing challenging and computationally costly. …”

Accurate through-the-thickness stress distributions in thin-walled metallic structures subjected to large displacements and large rotations by A. Pagani, R. Azzara, R. Augello, E. Carrera, B. Wu

“…Results show the distribution of axial and shear stresses, varying the refinement of the proposed two-dimensional (2D) shell model. It is shown that for axial components, a lower-order expansion is sufficient, whereas a higher-order one is needed to accurately predict shear stresses. …”
