The Argania is an endemic genetic resource in Morocco holding an important ecological and socio-economical benefit. However, overgrazing and overharvesting lead to a serious downturn in the number of trees. To characterize genetic diversity within and among 24 populations, represented by 240 argan trees, four combinations of SRAP primers and eight combinations of REMAP primers were used. A tota...

We present a new cell-centered multi-material Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) scheme to solve the compressible gaz dynamics equations on two-dimensional unstructured grid. Our ALE method is of the explicit time-marching Lagrange plus remap type. Namely, it involves the following three phases: a Lagrangian phase wherein the flow is advanced using a cell-centered scheme; a rezone phase in whi...

We explore an intersection-based remap method between meshes consisting of isoparametric elements. present algorithms for the case serendipity elements (QUAD8 elements) and piece-wise constant (cell-centered) discrete fields. demonstrate convergence properties this with a few numerical experiments.

Retrotransposons are a major component of virtually all eukaryotic genomes, which makes them useful as molecular markers. Various molecular marker systems have been developed that exploit the ubiquitous nature of these genetic elements and their property of stable integration into dispersed chromosomal loci that are polymorphic within species. To detect polymorphisms for retrotransposon inserti...

The flux-form incremental remapping transport scheme introduced by Dukowicz and Baumgardner [1] converts the transport problem into a remapping problem. This involves identifying overlap areas between quadrilateral flux-areas and regular square grid cells which is non-trivial and leads to some algorithm complexity. In the simpler swept area approach (originally introduced by Hirt et al. [2]) th...

We propose a strategy to perform second-order enhancement using slope-limiters for the simultaneous linear advection of several scalar variables. Our strategy ensures a discrete min-max principle not only for each variable but also for any number of non-trivial combinations of them, which represent control variables. This problem arises in fluid mechanics codes using the Arbitrary Lagrange-Eule...
