Primera cita de Coronopus navasii Pau (Brassicaceae) para la provincia de Soria

Se aporta una nueva localidad de Coronopus navasii Pau (Brassicaceae), situada en el páramo de Layna, provincia de Soria, en el extremo noroeste del Sistema Ibérico, España. Esta localidad es actualmente la más septentrional de las conocidas. Se discute la potencialidad de su hábitat en el Páramo de Layna y sus perspectivas de futuro a la luz de los últimos trabajos de campo y publicaciones sobre esta especie.First citation of Coronopus navasii Pau (Brassicaceae) for the province of Soria. Here we provide with new data concerning the presence of Coronopus navasii Pau (Brassicaceae) at Páramo de Layna, Soria province, at the northwestern extreme of the Iberian System, Spain. This is currently the northernmost locality known for the species. The potential of its habitat at Páramo de Layna is discussed to the light of recent field works and studies on the specie

Gout. Imaging of gout: findings and utility

Imaging is a helpful tool for clinicians to evaluate diseases that induce chronic joint inflammation. Chronic gout is associated with changes in joint structures that may be evaluated with diverse imaging techniques. Plain radiographs show typical changes only in advanced chronic gout. Computed tomography may best evaluate bone changes, whereas magnetic resonance imaging is suitable to evaluate soft tissues, synovial membrane thickness, and inflammatory changes. Ultrasonography is a tool that may be used in the clinical setting, allowing evaluation of cartilage, soft tissues, urate crystal deposition, and synovial membrane inflammation. Also ultrasound-guided puncture may be useful for obtaining samples for crystal observation. Any of these techniques deserve some consideration for feasibility and implementation both in clinical practice and as outcome measures for clinical trials. In clinical practice they may be considered mainly for evaluating the presence and extent of crystal deposition, and structural changes that may impair function or functional outcomes, and also to monitor the response to urate-lowering therapy

Pressure measurement in 2D sloshing simulations with SPH

Sloshing for low filling level resonant pitch motion is studied experimentally and numerically using SPH. Special attention is paid to the pressure fields on the tanks. Comparisons are made with experimental data and with Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) calculations.Postprint (published version

A Lagrangian–Eulerian procedure for the coupled solution of the Navier–Stokes and shallow water equations for landslide-generated waves

This work presents a partitioned method for landslide-generated wave events. The proposed strategy combines a Lagrangian Navier Stokes multi-fluid solver with an Eulerian method based on the Boussinesq shallow water equations. The Lagrangian solver uses the Particle Finite Element Method to model the landslide runout, its impact against the water body and the consequent wave generation. The results of this fully-resolved analysis are stored at selected interfaces and then used as input for the shallow water solver to model the far-field wave propagation. This one-way coupling scheme reduces drastically the computational cost of the analyses while maintaining high accuracy in reproducing the key phenomena of the cascading natural hazard. Several numerical examples are presented to show the accuracy and robustness of the proposed coupling strategy and its applicability to large-scale landslide-generated wave events. The validation of the partitioned method is performed versus available results of other numerical methods, analytical solutions and experimental measures.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Cavity solitons in bidirectional lasers

We show theoretically that a broad area bidirectional laser with slightly different cavity losses for the two counterpropagating fields sustains cavity solitons (CSs). These structures are complementary, i.e., there is a bright (dark) CS in the field with more (less) losses. Interestingly, the CSs can be written/erased by injecting suitable pulses in any of the two counterpropagating fields.Comment: 4 figure

A modular, partitioned, discrete element framework for industrial grain distribution systems with rotation machinery

The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s40571-015-0089-9A modular discrete element framework is presented for large-scale simulations of industrial grain-handling systems. Our framework enables us to simulate a markedly larger number of particles than previous studies, thereby allowing for efficient and more realistic process simulations. This is achieved by partitioning the particle dynamics into distinct regimes based on their contact interactions, and integrating them using different time-steps, while exchanging phase-space data between them. The framework is illustrated using numerical experiments based on fertilizer spreader applications. The model predictions show very good qualitative and quantitative agreement with available experimental data. Valuable insights are developed regarding the role of lift vs drag forces on the particle trajectories in-flight, and on the role of geometric discretization errors for surface meshing in governing the emergent behavior of a system of particles.Postprint (author's final draft
