This paper presents a study on the effect of unit-cell geometrical parameters in predicting elastic properties of a typical wood plastic composite (WPC).The ultimate goal was obtaining the optimal values of representative volume element (RVE) parameters to accurately predict the mechanical behavior of the WPC.For each unit cell, defined by a given
Evaluating spatially explicit management alternatives for an invasive species in a riverine network
Invasive species have substantial ecological and economic costs and removing them can require large investments by management agencies.Optimal spatial allocation of removal effort is critical for efficient and effective management of invasive species.Using a series of ecologically informed model simulations, we evaluated and compared different spat
A Comprehensive Real Time Investigation on the Influence of Plant Species on Antenna Characteristics in Outdoor Wireless Communication
Wireless communication in an outdoor environment is influenced by different living and non-living creatures in the earth’s atmosphere.These influences are based on the Long Johns interaction of EM (electromagnetic) waves emitted from antennas in communication systems.This research work focuses on analyzing the role of different plant species
Atypical structural tendencies among low-complexity domains in the Protein Data Bank proteome.
A variety of studies have suggested that low-complexity domains (LCDs) tend to be intrinsically disordered and are relatively rare within structured proteins in the Protein Data Bank (PDB).Although LCDs are STRONTIUM SUPPORT II often treated as a single class, we previously found that LCDs enriched in different amino acids can exhibit substantial d
