    Loc Vu-Quoc1,*, Alexander Humer2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.137, No.2, pp. 1069-1343, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.028130

    Abstract Three recent breakthroughs due to AI in arts and science serve as motivation: An award winning digital image, protein folding, fast matrix multiplication. Many recent developments in artificial neural networks, particularly deep learning (DL), applied and relevant to computational mechanics (solid, fluids, finite-element technology) are reviewed in detail. Both hybrid and pure machine learning (ML) methods are discussed. Hybrid methods combine traditional PDE discretizations with ML methods either (1) to help model complex nonlinear constitutive relations, (2) to nonlinearly reduce the model order for efficient simulation (turbulence), or (3) to accelerate the simulation by predicting certain components in the traditional… More >

    Parameterization Transfer for a Planar Computational Domain in Isogeometric Analysis

    Jinlan Xu*, Shuxin Xiao, Gang Xu, Renshu Gu

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.137, No.2, pp. 1957-1973, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.028665

    Abstract In this paper, we propose a parameterization transfer algorithm for planar domains bounded by B-spline curves, where the shapes of the planar domains are similar. The domain geometries are considered to be similar if their simplified skeletons have the same structures. One domain we call source domain, and it is parameterized using multi-patch B-spline surfaces. The resulting parameterization is C1 continuous in the regular region and G1 continuous around singular points regardless of whether the parameterization of the source domain is C1/G1 continuous or not. In this algorithm, boundary control points of the source domain are extracted from its parameterization… More >

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.7, pp. 3129-3141, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.026923

    Abstract Energy shortage and the emission of greenhouse gases have become a global problem of urgent concern. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a low carbon building material. Geopolymers have become a hot topic due to their environmental sustainability and the feasibility of immobilizing industrial waste. In this paper, steel slag (SS) fines were investigated as auxiliary materials of blast furnace slag (BFS) based geopolymer. The hydration heat properties, flowability, compressive strength, sorptivity coefficient, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the geopolymer pastes were determined. The results showed that the incorporation of SS weakened the reactivity… More >

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.7, pp. 3073-3089, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.026409

    Abstract Mine grouting reinforcement and water plugging projects often require large amounts of grouting materials. To reduce the carbon emission of grouting material production, improve the utilization of solid waste from mining enterprises, and meet the needs of mine reinforcement and seepage control, a double-liquid grouting material containing a high admixture of coal gangue powder/bottom ash geopolymer was studied. The setting time, fluidity, bleeding rate, and mechanical properties of grouting materials were studied through laboratory tests, and SEM analyzed the microstructure of the materials. The results show that the total mixture of calcined gangue does not exceed 60%. And the proportion… More >

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.92, No.7, pp. 1987-1999, 2023, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2023.027318

    Abstract Phytophthora nicotianae causes substantial economic losses in most countries where tobacco is produced. At present, the control of P. nicotianae mainly depends on chemical methods, with considerable environmental and health issues. We investigated the effects of ethanol extracts from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SBG) and Magnolia officinalis (MO). On mycelial growth, sporangium formation, and zoospore release of P. nicotianae. Both extracts inhibited the growth of P. nicotianae, with mycelial growth inhibition rates of 88.92% and 93.92%, respectively, at 40 mg/mL, and EC50 values of 5.39 and 5.74 mg/mL, respectively. The underlying mechanisms were the inhibition of sporangium formation, the reduction of… More >

    Pour un observatoire des données géographiques du Web

    Expérimentation à partir des infrastructures de données géographiques françaises

    Matthieu Noucher1 , Françoise Gourmelon2, Christophe Claramunt3

    Revue Internationale de Géomatique, Vol.29, No.1, pp. 9-30, 2019, DOI:10.3166/rig.2019.00074

    Abstract Extensive uses of geographic information generate a data deluge on many Web infrastructures. Monitoring and analyzing the content of these platforms is still a research challenge because these can be considered as very dynamic informational and algorithmic black boxes. The concept of “geographical information observatory” appears as an appropriate mean to monitor, analyze and then provide a better understanding of the evolution of the volume and flows of the spatial data available on a specific web infrastructure. Nevertheless, its implementation raises several methodological questions discussed in this paper, starting from the experimentation of a diachronic data observation of French Spatial… More >
