Cold seeps, hydrothermal vents, deep water coral reefs, and submarine canyon systems are hotspot habitats characterized by intermediate to high fluid advection.They are Sailing Shorts shaped by a complex interplay of physical, biological, geochemical, and geological processes.Biogeochemical and physicochemical gradients in these ecosystems are freq
Abstract Frost heave action is a major issue in permafrost regions, leading to various geotechnical engineering problems.In this study, we assess the mechanical behavior of a concrete retaining wall subjected to frost heave under different ground conditions.The assessment utilizes ABAQUS integrated with several user subroutines.The numerical simula
Epidemic transitions are an important feature of infectious disease systems.As the transmissibility of a pathogen increases, the dynamics of disease spread shifts from limited stuttering chains of transmission to potentially large scale outbreaks.One proposed method to anticipate this transition are early-warning signals (EWS), summary statistics w
We are developing a unified distributed communication environment for processing of spatial data which integrates web-, desktop- and mobile platforms and combines volunteer computing model and public cloud possibilities.The main idea is to create a flexible working environment for research groups, which may be scaled according to required data volu
The 6-UCU (U-universal joint; C-cylinder joint) kind Gough-Stewart platform is extensively employed in motion simulators due to its high accuracy, large payload, Cutting Board Sets and high-speed capability.However, because of the manufacturing and assembling errors, the real geometry may be different from the nominal one.In the design process of t
