End-to-end prediction of multimaterial stress fields and fracture patterns using cycle-consistent adversarial and transformer neural networks

The prediction of stress, strain fields Bilberry or fracture patterns, along with other physical quantities as a function of boundary conditions and material microstructure, is an important objective of various physics-based simulation methods like finite element models or molecular dynamics modeling.However, such simulations may be expensive and c

Hand grab or noose pole? Evaluating the least stressful practice for capture of endangered Turks and Caicos Rock Iguanas Cyclura carinata

As the analysis of blood metabolites has become more readily accessible thanks to the use of point-of-care analyzers, it is now possible to evaluate stress level of wild animals directly in the field.Lactate is receiving much attention as a good stress level proxy in individuals subjected to capture, manual restraint, and data Vehicle Parts samplin

Oaks grown from nursery stock have better survival rate

Studies comparing the performance of blue and valley oak seedlings developing from directly planted acorns and 2-to-3-month-old nursery stock were conducted at several locations in California.Results suggest that Canteens transplanted blue oak nursery stock has a survival advantage over seedlings developing from directly planted acorns when the pla
