Compact finite difference schemes for soybean hydration model as Stefan problem

In this paper, a study of numerical solutions of a nonlinear soybean hydration model is considered as a Stefan problem is presented. For this purpose, fourth and sixth order compact finite difference schemes are employed in space for the distribution of moisture and velocity of radius and calculated equilibrium times and CPU times. To show efficiency of the methods, numerical experiments have been done and numerical stability has been proven. It is noted that the present methods have more accurate solution with minimal computational effort (CPU time) for soybean hydration model, by comparisons of result in the literature which is validated experimental data

Research for sustainable development: Foundations, experiences, and perspectives

Research for Sustainable Development is based on the experiences of a decade of inter- and transdisciplinary research in partnership in nine regions of the world. It presents 29 articles in which interdisciplinary teams reflect on the foundations of sustainability-oriented research, propose and illustrate concrete concepts, tools, and approaches to overcome the challenges of such research, and show how research practice related to specific issues of sustainable development has led to new thematic and methodological insights. The book seeks to stimulate the advancement of research towards more relevant, scientifically sound, and concrete contributions to realising the vision of sustainable development
