Biological and biomimetic membranes are based on lipid bilayers, consisting of two monolayers or leaflets. One important but challenging physical parameter these is their tension. For a long...

We present numerical evidence that a domain wall in a background with varying vacuum energy density acquires velocity in the direction of decreasing Hubble parameter. This should lead to at least a partial relaxation of the cosmological constant on the wall. hep-th/0207258 Brane-world scenarios, according to which we live on a domain wall in a higherdimensional space [1], open new avenues for t...

We classify the spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein Maxwell Dilation field equations in D-dimensions and find some exact solutions of the string theory at all orders of the string tension parameter. We also show the uniqueness of the black hole solutions of this theory in static axially symmetric spacetimes.

By using the Fourier transform, we successfully give Kröger-type estimates for sums of eigenvalues free plate (under tension and with nonzero Poisson’s ratio) in terms dimension ambient space, volume domain, parameter ratio.

We study dendritic growth numerically with a phase field model. Tip oscillation and regular side-branching are observed in a parameter region where the anisotropies of the surface tension and the kinetic effect compete. The transition from a needle pattern to a dendritic pattern is conjectured to be a supercritical Hopf bifurcation.

Experimental results indicate that time invariant linear elastic models for cable-driven parallel robots show a significant error in the force prediction during operation. This paper proposes the use of an extended model for polymer cables which allows to regard the hysteresis effects depending on the excitation amplitude, frequency, and initial tension level. The experimental design as well as...

We present cluster counts and corresponding cosmological constraints from the Planck full mission data set. Our catalogue consists of 439 clusters detected via their Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal down to a signal-to-noise of six, and is more than a factor of two larger than the 2013 Planck cluster cosmology sample. The counts are consistent with those from 2013 and yield compatible constraints ...

We investigate cosmological evolutions of the bulk scalar field φ(t) and the radion d(t) in five-dimensional dilatonic two branes model. The bulk potential for the scalar field is taken as the exponential function Vbulk ∝ exp(−2 √ 2bφ), where b is the parameter of the theory. This model includes Randall-Sundrum model (with b = 0) and fivedimensional Hořava-Witten theory (with b = 1). We conside...
