Abstract Topological optimization (TO) is commonly used to design a part for additive manufacturing (AM), but rarely entire systems including several parts. How can be optimized mechanical system in which each changes the boundary conditions? A Design method called TOMS (Topological Optimization of Mechanical System) has been developed take into account variation conditions when optimizing When...

AbstraeL The nonrevisiting path conjecture for polytopes, which is equivalent to the Hirsch conjecture, is open. However, for surfaces, the nonrevisiting path conjecture is known to be true for polyhedral maps on the sphere, projective plane, toms, and a Klein bottle. Barnette has provided counterexamples on the orientable surface of genus 8 and nonorientable surface of genus 16. In this note t...

We demonstrate that the perforative phenomena shown to occur among simple amenable C∗-algebras by Villadsen and Toms can be realized within a dynamical framework. More specifically, we construct a minimal homeomorphism for which the K0 group of the crossed product fails to be weakly unperforated, and a minimal homeomorphism for which the crossed product has the same Elliott invariant as an AT-a...

Long time series of ozone and NO2 total column measurements in the southern tropics are available from two ground-based SAOZ (Système d’Analyse par Observation Zénithale) UV-visible spectrometers operated within the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC) in Bauru (22 S, 49 W) in S-E Brazil since 1995 and Reunion Island (21 S, 55 E) in the S-W Indian Ocean since 1993...
