The stress-minimizing hole in a shear-loaded elastic plate at a given energy increment

Archives of Mechanics, 2022
Minimization of the peak tangential stresses around a single hole in an infinite 2D elastic plate under remote pure shear and a given hole-induced strain energy level is considered as a free-shape optimization problem under a physical constraint.

A Shape Optimization Method of a Specified Point Absorber Wave Energy Converter for the South China Sea

Energies, 2018
In this paper, a shape optimization method of a truncated conical point absorber wave energy converter is proposed. This method converts the wave energy absorption efficiency into the matching problem between the wave spectrum of the South China Sea and ...

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Optimal Shapes for Tree Roots

SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 2022
The paper studies a class of variational problems, modeling optimal shapes for tree roots. Given a measure $μ$ describing the distribution of root hair cells, we seek to maximize a harvest functional $\mathcal{H}$, computing the total amount of water and nutrients gathered by the roots, subject to a cost for transporting these nutrients from the roots ...

Central Nervous System Tumors Among Infants in Canada: A Report From CYP‐C

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) tumors in infants are rare, pose unique clinical challenges, and lack large‐scale evidence‐based data to guide management. This study seeks to describe CNS tumors in Canadian infants and to compare their outcomes with those of older children.

Global Optimization for Shape Fitting [PDF]

2007 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2007
We propose a global optimization framework for 3D shape reconstruction from sparse noisy 3D measurements frequently encountered in range scanning, sparse feature-based stereo, and shape-from-X. In contrast to earlier local or banded optimization methods for shape fitting, we compute global optimum in the whole volume removing dependence on initial ...

Morphology-Embedded Synergistic Optimization of Thermal and Mechanical Performance in Free-Form Single-Layer Grid Structures

Technologies
Free-form grid structures offer both aesthetic appeal and structural efficiency in long-span roof design and application, yet the potential of morphological design to optimize thermal performance has been long overlooked.

Comparative Drug Response Profiling in Neuroblastoma Cell Lines and Patient‐Derived Tumor Organoids

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐risk neuroblastoma remains a leading cause of pediatric cancer mortality, and improved preclinical models are needed to guide therapeutic developments. We screened seven high‐risk neuroblastoma cell lines and three patient‐derived tumor organoids with 528 compounds alongside bone marrow controls, and compared them with external datasets ...
