COMBINING DAMAGE AND FRACTURE MECHANICS TO MODEL CALVING

Combining damage and fracture mechanics to model calving

Calving of icebergs is a major negative REPAIR SPRAY component of polar ice-sheet mass balance.Here we present a new calving model relying on both continuum damage mechanics and linear elastic fracture mechanics.This combination accounts for both the slow sub-critical surface crevassing and the rapid propagation of crevasses when calving occurs.Fir

Exploitation of other social amoebae by Dictyostelium caveatum.

Dictyostelium amoebae faced with starvation trigger a developmental program during which many cells aggregate and form fruiting bodies that consist of a ball of spores held aloft by a thin stalk.This developmental strategy Nail Lacquer is open to several forms of exploitation, including the remarkable case of Dictyostelium caveatum, which, even whe
