Abstract Background Bud dormancy in deciduous fruit trees enables plants to survive cold weather. The buds adopt dormant state and resume growth after satisfying the chilling requirements. Chilling requirements play a key role in flowering time. So far, several chilling models, including ≤ 7.2 °C model, the 0–7.2 °C model, Utah model, and Dynamic Model, have been developed; however, it is still time-consuming to determine the chilling requirements employing any model. This calls for efficient tools that can analyze data. Results In this study, we developed novel software Chilling and Heat Requirement (CHR), by flexibly integrating data conversions, model selection, calculations, statistical analysis, and plotting. Conclusion CHR is a tool for chilling requirements estimation, which will be very useful to researchers. It is very simple, easy, and user-friendly.

Increasing awareness of environmental burdens has led companies and designers to initiate design for the environment (DFE) programmes, which consider the design of products from the ‘cradle to grave’ and is also known as ‘life-cycle design’. In this paper, the use of a novel environmental performance technique to be used at the early stage of product design is presented. This technique, which is to be used as a framework for green product design, is demonstrated in this paper by evaluating the environmental performance between plastic and steel fuel tanks. The fuel tank comparison can be divided into five steps. In the first four steps, a modified house of quality (HOQ) is used to analyse the performance of fuel tanks in terms of requirements of environmentally conscious design. The final step is an overall assessment that synthesizes the results from the previous four analyses. As a result, the comprehensive environmental effects in the whole life cycle of fuel tanks are captured in the early stage of design.

Most current tools and methodologies to predict the life and reliability of fracture critical gas turbine engine components rely on stress intensity factor solutions that assume highly idealized component and crack geometries, and this can lead to highly conservative results in some cases. This paper describes a new integrated methodology to perform these assessments that combines one software tool for creating high fidelity crack growth simulations (FRANC3D) with another software tool for performing probabilistic fatigue crack growth life assessments of turbine engine components (DARWIN). DARWIN employs finite element models of component stresses, while FRANC3D performs automatic adaptive re-meshing of these models to simulate crack growth. Modifications have been performed to both codes to allow them to share and exchange data and to enhance their shared computational capabilities. Most notably, a new methodology was developed to predict the shape evolution and the fatigue lifetime for cracks that are geometrically complex and not easily parameterized by a small number of degrees of freedom. This paper describes the integrated software system and the typical combined work flow, and it shows the results from a number of analyses that demonstrate the significant features of the system.

This article provides an overview of a new integrated software tool for reduction and analysis of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data from fibrous collagen tissues, with some wider applicability to other cylindrically symmetric scattering systems.SAXS4COLLcombines interactive features for data pre-processing, bespoke background subtraction, semi-automated peak detection and calibration. Both equatorial and meridional SAXS peak parameters can be measured, and the former can be deconstructed into cylinder and lattice contributions. Finally, the software combines functionality for determination of collagen spatial order parameters with a rudimentary orientation plot capability.
