On the Superstrings-Induced Four-Dimensional Gravity and Its Applications to Cosmology by Masao Iihoshi, Sergei V. Ketov

“…The most naive (Bel-Robinson tensor squared) quartic terms are ruled out, thus giving the evidence for the necessity of extra quartic (Ricci tensor-dependent) terms in the off-shell gravitational effective action for superstrings. …”

SUBSTANTIATION OF POSSIBILITY TO USE WASTE OF SEA CUCUMBER PROCESSING FOR PRODUCTION OF SOFT DRINKS by E. V. Okhota, A. I. Chepkasova, E. P. Karaulova, T. N. Slutskaya

“…The broth of sea cucumber was decolorized with mineral sorbents, as perlite and bentonite, and with chitosans of crab carapace and shrimp shell. The chitosans were the most effective in sorption and subsequent removal of the protein-pigment complex, providing the decolorization degree of 35–55 %. …”

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. …”
