A Biophysical Approach to the Design of Networks of Communication Systems
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Inspired by the growth dynamics of the protist Physarum polycephalum, we employ a formalism that describes adaptive, incompressible Hagen‐Poiseuille flows on channel networks to identify graphs connecting different nodes within Euclidean space. These graphs are either suboptimal or optimal relative to their length.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Soil Moisture Active Passive soil moisture retrievals are assimilated into a land surface model and the resulting land reanalysis product is used to initialise the land component of coupled land‐atmosphere experiments. We show that the local impact of land data assimilation on the atmosphere is influenced by two factors: the magnitude by which it ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the role of social capital in designing and implementing more effective governance strategies to improve the state of the Tagus River's significantly deteriorated middle reach (Spain). We employed social network analysis (SNA) to evaluate the bonding, bridging and linking social capital and the quality of stakeholder ...

Interaction of marine geodesy, satellite technology and ocean physics [PDF]
The possible applications of satellite technology in marine geodesy and geodetic related ocean physics were investigated. Four major problems were identified in the areas of geodesy and ocean physics: (1) geodetic positioning and control establishment ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The decisive reinforcement of thick concrete members is often determined by the minimum reinforcement for crack control due to restraint stresses. In contrast to the heuristic design model in Eurocode 2, a mechanically sound methodology is only provided if the deformation compatibility is considered.

A new smooth failure criterion for concrete inspired by Lubliner's condition
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract A new failure criterion with 10 parameters is proposed, based on Lubliner's idea of joining two Drucker–Prager cones. The novelty lies in the way of introducing deviatoric shape variation: through two Podgórski's functions. This feature allows for improving plane stress cross‐section's compatibility with experimental data.

The moving‐beam diffraction geometry: the DIAD application of a diffraction scanning probe
Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.We introduce the moving‐beam diffraction geometry as implemented at the Dual Imaging and Diffraction beamline at Diamond Light Source, and provide a quantitative assessment of the precision offered by this geometry and the nearest‐neighbor calibration method.Understanding the interactions between microstructure, strain, phase and material behavior is ...
