This paper reviews a recent RedfishGroup project for the City of Santa Fe Fire and Police Department integrating wildfire simulation and agent-based modeling of traffic dynamics. Visualizations of the evacuation dynamics were used to communicate with citizens dangers faced during evacuations and to explore when shelter-in-place is a reasonable alternative to evacuation. Additional uses of the m...

Iron is an important nutrient in the ocean, but the different sources and sinks of iron are not well constrained. Here, we use measurements of Fe concentration and Fe stable isotope ratios to evaluate the importance of reducing continental margins as a source of Fe to the open ocean. Dissolved iron concentration ([Fe]) and iron stable isotope ratios (dFe) were measured in the San Pedro and Sant...

BACKGROUND Dental biomechanics based on finite element (FE) analysis is attracting enormous interest in dentistry, biology, anthropology and palaeontology. Nonetheless, several shortcomings in FE modeling exist, mainly due to unrealistic loading conditions. In this contribution we used kinematics information recorded in a virtual environment derived from occlusal contact detection between high ...

Since the traditional deterministic method and classical statistical energy have little room for improvement, more researches gradually turn to combination of two methods solve low medium frequency "acoustic vibration" problem. However, in application mixed FE-SEA model, researchers found that when coupling interface between FEA substructure SEA is form continuous interface, a very large finite...

In this work we propose a novel and fully automated method for extracting the yarn geometrical features in woven composites so that direct parametrization of textile reinforcement is achieved ( e.g. , FE mesh). Thus, our aim not only to perform segmentation from tomographic images but rather provide complete descriptive modeling fabric. As such, approach improves on previous methods use voxel-w...
