Weaknesses and Strengths of the Winkler Method in Designing Foundations

Journal for Research in Applied Sciences and Biotechnology
The reaction between the foundation and the soil below it is one of the important issues in civil engineering, and this factor has a significant effect on the behavior of the structure. In this article, first, the basic principles of this method and the simplifications introduced in it are introduced, and then the concept of the most important input ...

Main‐chain polyfullerenes: Taking fullerene to the next dimension

Polymer International, EarlyView.
This short review appraises main‐chain polyfullerenes. Their slow development over 30 years has suddenly boomed with a rapid growth due to exciting developments in solar energy. Abstract This mini‐review gives an overview of the development, chemistry, properties and applications of main‐chain polyfullerenes.

Strong differentiation between source and ex situ populations of rare plant species revealed by next‐generation sequencing

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is being lost rapidly worldwide due to factors such as climate change and habitat loss. To help safeguard plant populations, conservation strategies include seed banks and conservation cultures. However, it remains unclear how cultivation affects genetic variation compared with wild populations.

EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF THE MODEL OF A NONLOCAL ELASTIC FOUNDATION

Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings, 2015
The design of bars, lying on an elastic base is fulfilled usually with help of a simple model of the base proposed by Winkler. This hypothesis was subjected to repeated critics. A new model of nonlocal elastic foundation was proposed by PotapovV.D .

Assessment of Lectin Staining Biomarkers for GNE Myopathy Gene Therapy. [PDF]

Muscle Nerve
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims GNE myopathy (GNEM) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the UDP‐N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) 2‐epimerase/N‐acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) kinase (GNE) gene, which encodes a required enzyme for sialic acid (SA) biosynthesis.

Dynamical Analysis of Beams Lying on Discontinuous Linear Winkler Foundation

8th International Students Science Congress Proceedings Book
Analysing the dynamic behavior of beams lying on a discontinuous linear Winkler foundation involves considering the interaction between the beam and the supporting foundation. The Winkler foundation is a simplified model that represents the soil or support underneath the beam as a series of linear springs. When the foundation is discontinuous, it means

Calibration of medium‐range temperature ensemble forecasts dependent on the time horizon: An assessment

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Numerical weather prediction output necessitates calibration, as weather model systems are unable to replicate the correct statistics of observations. Such processing is especially important when predicting extreme weather. Calibration methods function by learning from prediction inadequacies during a training phase and by exploiting this information ...

Spontaneous zonal symmetry breaking of tropical rain belt

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Precipitable‐water snapshots show how a sea surface temperature (SST)‐forced tropical rain belt can remain zonally elongated or spontaneously reorganize into a localized convective cluster. The simulations identify the SST conditions favoring this zonal convective self‐aggregation and relate the transition to changes in boundary‐layer circulation and ...

Fair Markets and Resilient Supply Chains: Designing Sustainable Intermediation for Rural Communities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture in Ecuador's communes faces significant economic, social, and environmental challenges, intensified by supply chains dominated by traditional intermediaries. The lack of context‐specific sustainability studies further increases the vulnerability of smallholders.

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.
