On the Boundary Conditions in Out-of-Plane Analysis of Thin Plates by the Finite Point Method by Sadegh Tavakoliyan, Mohamad Najar, Parham Memarzadeh, Tadeh Zirakian

“…The finite point method (FPM) is a numerical, mesh-free technique for solving differential equations, particularly in fluid dynamics. While the FPM has been previously applied in solid mechanics to analyze plates under in-plane loading, there remains a notable scarcity of research exploring the out-of-plane analysis of elastic plates using this method. …”

Winglet Design for Aerodynamic and Performance Optimization of UAVs via Surrogate Modeling by Eleftherios Nikolaou, Spyridon Kilimtzidis, Vassilis Kostopoulos

“…Using surrogate-based optimization (SBO) techniques, this research developed winglet geometries with varying geometric parameters such as length, cant angle, and sweep angle with their performance being evaluated through high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. These simulations utilized Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations coupled with the Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model to capture the intricate flow dynamics around the UAV in different flight phases. …”

Remediating Cambridge: Human and Horse Co-Relationality in a Culture of Mis-Re-Presentation by Francesca A. Brady, Jennifer McDonell

“…The embodied interspecies knowledge that informs the training and care of equines (and all animal species) is always historically situated within permeable, dynamic worlds of self and other that are fluid, contextual, and always in relation. It is suggested that the case of Cambridge illustrates how competing stakeholder investments in animal welfare can play out in the public mediation of particular cases in ways that exclude their historical and interspecies situatedness and serve to reinforce dominant ideologies governing human and animal relationships.…”

Investigating the mechanisms of resveratrol in the treatment of gouty arthritis through the integration of network pharmacology and metabolics by Xiaomin Xu, Donghua Yu, Yu Wang, Xin Jiang, Fang Lu, Shumin Liu

“…Metabolomics results showed that Res could improve the metabolic trajectory deviations in serum and joint fluid of GA model rats. Through related metabolic pathway analysis, the most affected metabolic pathways were found to be Sphingolipid metabolism, Glycerophospholipid metabolism, Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, Pantothenate and CoA, Citrate cycle (TCA cycle), and Arachidonic acid metabolism.ConclusionResveratrol can regulate the biosynthetic pathways of arachidonic acid, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, pantothenic acid and CoA biosynthesis pathways, TCA cycle, and other metabolic pathways, thereby regulating the NF-κB, MAPK, and JAK/STAT3 signaling pathways, and inhibiting the acute inflammatory response during GA attacks, showing characteristics of multi-pathway and multi-target action.…”
