Bubble collapse dynamics near the composite walls: Progress and challenges by Yichen Zhu, Xiaojian Ma, Ruiquan Zhou, Yuwei Sun, Mindi Zhang

“…The present work reviews recent progress made towards developing experimental and numerical investigation for interaction of bubble dynamics and composite response. The goal of our overall efforts is to (1) summarize the progress made in the experimental and numerical modeling and approaches for bubble dynamics near various composite walls, (2) discuss the effect of designability of the composite materials on the bubble dynamics, with special emphasis on the variations of fiber orientation and ply number of composite walls, as well as correspondingly accompanied by tilted jets and opposite migration of bubbles, with experimental and numerical modeling and approaches, (3) improve the understanding of relationship between bubble dynamic behaviors and material’s specific stiffness via experimental data and modified deep neural network method, with particular emphasis on the critical condition of bubble migration under the actions of various material properties. …”

Dietary Niche Variation in an Invasive Omnivore: The Effects of Habitat on Feral Pig Resource Use in Hawai‘i by Michael S. Peyton, Kealohanuiopuna M. Kinney, Sarah Knox, Grace Tredennick, Sara Hotchkiss

“…While the threat of feral pigs (Sus scrofa) to native plant communities in Hawai‘i is well known, their trophic dynamics and the drivers of variation in their diet remain understudied. We investigated the feral pig trophic niche on Hawai‘i Island using stable isotopes (13C and 15N) and Bayesian mixing models to identify drivers of variation in resource use. …”
