density functional (dft) calculations at m05-2x/aug-cc-pvdz level were used to analyze the interactions between dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) dimers. the structures obtained have been analyzed with the atoms in molecules (aims) and natural bond orbital (nbo) methodologies. four minima were located on the potential energy surface of the dimers. three types of interactions are observed, ch•••o, ch•••...

Mangrove forests provide essential ecosystem services in tropical and semitropical regions by supporting their natural regeneration other biosystem processes, offering livelihood for local communities, contributing significantly to the resources. Systematic analyses on protective role of mangrove effects reducing coastal erosion have been carried out rarely. Mangroves form a complex that increa...

The present contribution is concerned with the incorporation of gradient-extended damage into reduced integration-based continuum finite elements. To this end, purely mechanical low-order solid and solid-shell elements based on isoparametric concept are combined a gradient extended two-surface plasticity model. Due to tailored combination integration hourglass stabilization, enhanced assumed st...
