WaveGFD is a repository inspired by the development and analysis of meshless finite difference schemes for the wave equation in highly irregular domains, such as polygonal approximations of geographical regions. These methods' innovative approach allows to address the complexity of solving partial differential equations in highly irregular regions. They stand out for their precision and efficiency.

Concrete is a prominent construction material globally, owing to its reputed attributes such as robustness, endurance, optimal functionality, and adaptability. Formulating concrete mixtures poses a formidable challenge, mainly when introducing novel materials and additives and evaluating diverse design resistances. Recent methodologies for projecting concrete performance in fundamental aspects, including compressive strength, flexural strength, tensile strength, and durability (encompassing homogeneity, porosity, and internal structure), exist.

The present research work shows the effect on the carbonation of Portland cement-based mortars (PC) with the addition of green materials, specifically residues from two groups: agricultural and industrial wastes, and minerals and fibres. These materials have the purpose of helping with the waste disposal, recycling, and improving the durability of concrete structures. The specimens used for the research were elaborated with CPC 30R RS, according to the Mexican standard NMX-C-414, which is equivalent to the international ASTM C150.

Nowadays, society faces a catastrophic problem related to respiratory syndrome due to the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2: the Covid-19 disease. This virus has changed our coexistence rules and, in consequence, has reshaped the daily activities in modern societies. Thus, there are many efforts to understand the virus behaviour in order to reduce its negative impact, and these efforts produce an incredible amount of information and data sources every week.
