Methods: Suppose Ø:S1->S2 is a map from the surface S1 to the surface S2, we define the derivative map of Ø is the linear map between the tangent spaces, dØ:TM(p)->TM(Ø(p)), induced by the map. Let J be the derivative map and define the deformation tensor as S=(JTJ)1/2. Instead of analyzing shape change based on the eigenvalues of the deformation tensor, we consider a new family of metrics, the...

The generic Hamiltonian describing the zero temperature transition between the insulating Bose glass phase and the superfluid phase lacks particle-hole symmetry, but a statistical version of this symmetry is believed to be restored at the critical point. We show that the renormalization group relevance of particle-hole asymmetry may be explored in a controlled fashion only for small time dimens...

A lower mantle S-wave triplication is detected using shortand long-period SH seismograms in the distance range 70 ø to 95 ø . Modeling of the observations with synthetic seismograms indicates that the tripliGation is produced by a 2.75 • 0.25% shear velocity increase about 280 km above the core-mantle boundary. The SH data from intermediate and deep focus events for three distinct source ragion...

Testrst programming is one of the central techniques of Extreme Programming. Programming testrst means (1) write down a test-case before coding and (2) make all the tests executable for regression testing. Thus far, knowledge about testrst programming is limited to experience reports. Nothing is known about the bene ts of testrst compared to traditional programming (design, implementation, test...

The fine lunar surface material at the Surveyor 3 landing site has about 3 X 108-dyne/cm 2 cohesion, 35 ø angle of internal friction, 3 X 105-dyne/cm ' static bearing capacity. A small rock withstood a local pressure of 2 X 107 dynes/cm -ø. Soil strength and density increase significantly at depths of a few centimeters. Exposed surface has a considerably higher albedo than the material just bel...
