Abstract The collapse of a volcanic flank can be destructive and deadly. Hydrothermal alteration is common to volcanoes worldwide thought promote volcano instability by decreasing rock strength. However, some laboratory studies have shown that not all reduces Our new data for altered rhyodacites from Chaos Crags (Lassen center, California, USA) show pore- crack-filling mineral precipitation red...

We report on the first three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of secular and dynamical nonaxisymmetric instabilities in collapsing, rapidly rotating stellar cores which extend well beyond core bounce. The resulting gravitational radiation has been calculated using the quadrupole approximation. We find that secular instabilities do not occur during the simulated time interval of several 10ms...

Sinkholes represent the main hazards in karst areas, and are related to presence of natural and anthropogenic cavities. In order to mitigate the risk related to sinkholes, identification of likely premonitory signs preceding the catastrophic phase of collapse may be extremely important. Remote sensing and surface monitoring can be used at this aim: multi-pass spaceborne Differential Synthetic A...

This study presents a new approach that can stabilize effectively L-ascorbic acid in water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) double emulsions. Basically, the behavior of L-ascorbic acid in the aqueous phase was observed, considering its molecular deformation. Then, it was found that the stability determined in the aqueous phase by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) showed that the collapse of ...

In this work the Vacuum Energy Density Problem or Dark Energy Problem is studied on the basis of the earlier results by the author within the scope of the Holographic Principle. It is demonstrated that the previously introduced deformed quantum field theory at a nonuniform lattice in the finite-dimensional hypercube is consistent with the Holographic Principle in case the condition of the physi...

In computer graphics, methods for mesh simplification are common. However, most of them focus on static meshes, only few works have been proposed for simplifying deforming surfaces. In this paper, we propose a new method for the multiresolution representation of time-varying meshes based on deformation area and feature preservation. Our method uses the famous QEM (quadric error metric) as our b...

ÐTi±Si mixtures were subjected to high-strain-rate deformation at a pressure below the threshold for shock-wave initiation. Whereas the collapse of interparticle pores did not initiate reaction, regions of localized macro-deformation initiated reaction inside shear bands at suciently high strains (g010), and propagation of the reaction through the entire specimen at higher strains (g020±40). T...

Slowly compressed microcrystals deform via intermittent slip events, observed as displacement jumps or stress drops. Experiments often use one of two loading modes: an increasing applied stress (stress driven, soft), or a constant strain rate (strain driven, hard). In this work we experimentally test the influence of the deformation loading conditions on the scaling behavior of slip events. It ...

In this work, we show that the eigenvalues of the problem  (∆2 + V (x) + λ)u(x) = 0 x ∈ Ω u(x) = ∆u(x) = 0 x ∈ ∂Ω are generically simple in the set of C4 regular regions of Rn, n ≥ 2. In fact, we prove that there exists a residual set of regions C4 diffeomorphic to a given Ω such that all the eigenvalues for a supported plate equation are simple.

With the increasing complexity of photo-realistic scenes, the question of building and placing objects in three-dimensional scenes is becoming ever more di cult. While the question of placement of rigid objects has captured the attention of researchers in the past, this work presents an intuitive and interactive scheme to properly place deformable objects with the aid of free-form deformation t...
