We investigate some apparent discrepancies between two different models for curved graphene: the one based on tight-binding and elasticity theory, and the covariant approach based on quantum field theory in curved space. We demonstrate that strained or corrugated samples will have a space-dependent Fermi velocity in either approach that can affect the interpretation of local probe experiments i...

Many pathogens exist in phenotypically distinct strains that interact with each other through competition for hosts. General models that describe such multi-strain systems are extremely difficult to analyze because their state spaces are enormously large. Reduced models have been proposed, but so far all of them necessarily allow for coinfections and require that immunity be mediated solely by ...

Abstract The research of a formulation to model non-local interactions in the mechanical behavior matter is currently an open problem. In this context, strong based on fractional calculus provided paper. This derived from analogy with long-memory viscoelastic models. Specifically, same kind power-law time-dependent kernel used Boltzmann integral stress-strain relation as Fredholm relation. lead...

Using strain devices as sensors, and using piezoelectric devices as actuators, the experimental research on the vibration control of large flexible space structures is presented in this paper. The control theory used in this experiment will be introduced. The working principles of the strain devices and the piezoelectric devices will be explained in detail in this paper. A satellite panel syste...

introduction: lipomas of the larynx are very rare benign lesions; macroscopically, they resemble retention cysts, so their diagnosis is usually made after surgery.   case report: a rare case of pediatric paraglottic space lipoma in an 11-year-old boy is explained. the mass was mobile, soft, without fluctuation or pulsation. ct scan revealed a 5.7 cm cervical fat density with regional lymphadeno...

Single-crystal micro- and nanomaterials often exhibit higher yield strength than their bulk counterparts. This enhancement is widely recognized in structural materials but is rarely exploited to probe fundamental physics of electronic materials. Vanadium dioxide exhibits coupled electronic and structural phase transitions that involve different structures existing at different strain states. Fu...
