The vertebrate body displays a segmental organization that is most conspicuous in the periodic
organization of the vertebral column and peripheral nerves. This metameric organization …

In this study, an efficient time-domain prediction model is developed to predict unsteady flow
vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of flexible risers. The hydrodynamic forces on flexible risers …

Based on the three-dimensional (3D) potential theory and finite element method (FEM), this
paper proposes a new numerical method for hydroelastic predictions of floating structures in …

A modal space based direct method is developed for vortex-induced vibration (VIV) prediction
of flexible risers. A VIV response solution model is established in modal space, consisting …

How the plasma membrane senses external heat-stress signals to communicate with chloroplasts
to orchestrate thermotolerance remains elusive. We identified a quantitative trait locus, …

Grain size is an important component trait of grain yield, which is frequently threatened by
abiotic stress. However, little is known about how grain yield and abiotic stress tolerance are …

Cytoplasmic flows are widely emerging as key functional players in development. In early
Drosophila embryos, flows drive the spreading of nuclei across the embryo. Here, we combine …

Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are a group of natural phenolic compounds that have a great effect
on both flavor and nutritious value of fruit. It has been shown that PA synthesis is regulated …

Engaging the public in low-carbon community development is an important step toward
achieving the UN Sustainability Goals. Research on residents' participation in low-carbon …

As long flexible blades in large wind turbines are prone to excessive bending deformations,
there are failures in dynamic analyses under linear (small deflection) conditions. Thus, a …
