Numerical assessments of scour depth predictions downstream of box culverts under various flow and blockage conditions by Kaywan Othman Ahmed, Mohammad Reza Kavianpour, Ata Amini, Younes Aminpour

“…The analysis revealed that predictions from numerical models corresponded closely with experimental outcomes, although the scour depths calculated by the models were generally lower than those observed under both steady and unsteady flow conditions. While blockage rates notably impacted scour patterns in the first hydrograph of unsteady flows, increasing blockage percentages did not reliably result in proportional increases in scour depth, as seen in the second hydrograph for unsteady and both steady flow conditions.…”

Evolution of accessory bones in cetacean skull coupled with decreasing rate of ossification of cranial sutures by Valeriia Telizhenko, Pavel Gol’din

“…A strong phylogenetic signal was found for both suture ossification rate and accessory bone presence. Cetaceans were shown to have a lower ossification rate than most terrestrial artiodactyls, except deer (Cervidae) and mouse deer (Tragulidae), which showed somewhat similar patterns. …”

An Evaluation of the Use of Simulated Annealing to Optimize Thinning Rates for Single Even-Aged Stands by Kai Moriguchi, Tatsuhito Ueki, Masashi Saito

“…We evaluated the potential of simulated annealing as a reliable method for optimizing thinning rates for single even-aged stands. Four types of yield models were used as benchmark models to examine the algorithm’s versatility. …”

Study on energy evolution and crack propagation of filling mortar-rock at different loading rates. by Hanqiu Wang, Chengyong Liu, Yuyi Wu, Yuhua Guan, Tongde Zhao

“…However, when shotcrete becomes tightly bonded with rock masses, the energy evolution and crack initiation mechanisms between the two materials exhibit remarkable complexity. Different loading rates significantly alter the internal stress distribution and deformation characteristics within the composite system, thereby influencing the patterns of energy evolution and crack propagation. …”

Determining optimum plant density and nitrogen rate using field experiment and model simulation by Bizuwork Tafes Desta, Sisay Eshetu Tesema, Gebrekidan Feleke Mekuria, Almaz Meseret Gezahegn, Alemayehu Zemede Lemma

“…The model was further evaluated with the experimental data conducted during the 2020 cropping season under four plant densities and four nitrogen fertilizer rates. Because of differences in temperature and rainfall patterns during the potential growing season, seasonal analysis was used to determine the optimum plant density and N rate using 37 years (1985–2022) of historical weather data. …”
