TL;DR: In this paper, a pin-jointed net model was used to simulate the yarn slippage in a simple shape and a number of aircraft parts, and the results were compared with draping test results.
Abstract: Drape trials were conducted on a simple shape and a number of aircraft parts. Predictions from computer drape simulation using the pin-jointed net model were compared with draping test results. The pin-jointed net model was evaluated. Yarn slippage, and how it is affected by the material properties and part geometry, were investigated. The criteria for optimal draping, and the means of manipulation of the drape simulation are discussed. The different methods of draping constraint are compared and their most useful applications are indicated. Some useful guidance for the application of drape simulation is given.

TL;DR: Assessments revealed high levels of damage by P. psidii to immature leaves, shoots and tree crowns and subsequent crown loss (crown transparency) and tree mortality in field assessments of R. rubescens and Rhodomyrtus psidioides across their native range.
Abstract: The invasive rust Puccinia psidii (myrtle rust) was detected in Australia in 2010 and is now established along the east coast from southern New South Wales to far north Queensland. Prior to reaching Australia, severe damage from P. psidii was mainly restricted to exotic eucalypt plantations in South America, guava plantations in Brazil, allspice plantations in Jamaica, and exotic Myrtaceous tree species in the USA; the only previous record of widespread damage in native environments is of endangered Eugenia koolauensis in Hawai’i. Using two rainforest tree species as indicators of the impact of P. psidii, we report for the first time severe damage to endemic Myrtaceae in native forests in Australia, after only 4 years’ exposure to P. psidii. A 3-year disease exclusion trial in a natural stand of Rhodamnia rubescens unequivocally showed that repeated, severe infection leads to gradual crown loss and ultimately tree mortality; trees were killed in less than 4 years. Significant (p < 0.001) correlations were found between both incidence (r = 0.36) and severity (r = 0.38) of P. psidii and subsequent crown loss (crown transparency). This provided supporting evidence to conclude a causal association between P. psidii and crown loss and tree mortality in our field assessments of R. rubescens and Rhodomyrtus psidioides across their native range. Assessments revealed high levels of damage by P. psidii to immature leaves, shoots and tree crowns—averaging 76 % (R. rubescens) and 95 % (R. psidioides) crown transparency—as well as tree mortality. For R. psidioides, we saw exceptionally high levels of tree mortality, with over half the trees surveyed dead and 40 % of stands with greater than 50 % tree mortality, including two stands where all trees were dead. Tree mortality was less prevalent for R. rubescens, with only 12 % of trees surveyed dead and two sites with greater than 50 % mortality. Any alternative causal agents for this tree mortality have been discounted. The ecological implications of this are unclear, but our work clearly illustrates the potential for P. psidii to negatively affect Australia’s biodiversity.

TL;DR: The most promising indigenous Gram +/-ve strains from the long-term contaminated sites with increased catabolic potential, enzymatic activity and metal tolerance need to be harnessed for mixed contaminant cleanups.

TL;DR: O'Connor et al. as mentioned in this paper found that the higher yield achieved by barley in this environment was due to faster leaf area growth and earlier flowering, which ensured that water loss from the soil surface was minimized and that growth was completed before the rapid rise in temperature and VPD.
