A Damage Constitutive Model of Red Sandstone under Coupling of Wet-Dry Cycles and Impact Load by Bin Du, Haibo Bai

“…Results indicated that the proposed damage constitutive model can definitely describe the dynamic stress-strain curves of red sandstone after wet-dry cycles and impact load. The evolution of coupling damage curves showed that wet-dry cycle damage plays a dominant role in the elastic deformation stage, while the yield failure stage is controlled by the load damage in which the loading rate cannot be ignored. …”

Human, almost human: how many human species are there? by Thierry Hoquet

“…In addition, the choice of taxonomic divisions and the names adopted is often controversial as they often reflect implicit beliefs among anthropologists, for example that humans are the apex of primate evolution. On the biological aspect, the counting of species is problematic insofar as the concept of "species" does not only refer to taxa, but also to taxonomic rank (as opposed to variety). …”

Designing Landscape of Urban Gardening Based on Optimized Artificial Intelligence Model by Long Liu

“…In the development of landscape pattern optimization methods, the landscape pattern optimization model with landscape simulation evolution as the core has shown its advantages. In the target year, the dominant landscape of economic development scenario is urban and orchards, and the landscape pattern shows the distribution characteristics of urban, farmland in the western dam area, and orchards in the eastern mountainous area; the dominant landscape of ecological protection scenario is forest, urban, and rural residential and industrial mining; and the landscape pattern shows the distribution characteristics of urban and rural residential and industrial mining, orchards, farmland in the western dam area, and forest in the eastern mountainous area. …”
