A novel method for in vivo assessment of soft tissue weight in scallops by Shiyun Duan, Yunlong Gao, Xiaoli Hu, Xiaoshen Yin

“…To resolve this issue, we take advantage of the complex relationships among shell dimension- and weight-related traits to construct classical, shell dimension- or wet weight-based models and novel, shell surface area-based models for in vivo assessment of soft tissue weight in Zhikong scallop (Chlamys farreri) and yesso scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis). …”

Isogeometric analysis of the lithosphere under topographic loading: Igalith v1.0.0 by R. Rosandi, Y. Rosandi, B. Simeon

“…We also perform parameter identification for the effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere, the rock density, and the topographic load that are most plausible to explain the measured depths. An example of simulating the entire lithosphere of the Earth as a spherical shell using multi-patch isogeometric analysis is presented, providing an alternative to spherical harmonics for solving partial differential equations on a spherical domain. …”
