We consider the one-dimensional Willmore equation subject to Navier boundary conditions, i.e. the position and the curvature are prescribed on the boundary. In a previous work, explicit symmetric solutions to symmetric data have been constructed. Within a certain range of boundary curvatures one has precisely two symmetric solutions while for boundary curvatures outside the closure of this rang...

Spend your time even for only few minutes to read a book. Reading a book will never reduce and waste your time to be useless. Reading, for some people become a need that is to do every day such as spending time for eating. Now, what about you? Do you like to read a book? Now, we will show you a new book enPDFd finite and boundary element tearing and interconnecting solvers for multiscale proble...

Dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Technology to be presented with due permission for public examination and debate in Auditorium F1 at Helsinki University of Technology (Espoo, Finland) on the 27th of April, 2000, at 12 o'clock noon.

ticularly innovative or useful. Here, we present the 2006 Best in Test winners as well as 18 products worthy of honorable mention (p. 36). T&MW’s editors narrowed this year’s field from scores of deserving products, nominated by vendors, that were introduced between November 1, 2004, and October 31, 2005. You can help determine which of the 12 Best in Test products will become the Test Product ...

Late Neogene paleoceanographic history in the western North Pacific is discussed on the basis of: (1) Td (diatom temperature) values, (2) species composition, and (3) the structure of diatom assemblages at Sites 579 and 580. These factors provide a record of fluctuations of the past position of the subarctic-subtropic front because these sites lie within the transition zone between the modern d...

We have simulated a system of classical particles confined on the surface of a sphere interacting with a repulsive r potential. The same system simulated on a plane with periodic boundary conditions has van der Waals loops in pressure-density plots which are usually interpreted as evidence for a first order melting transition, but on the sphere such loops are absent. We also investigated the st...

This paper reviews developments in the theory of boundary critique, which has been used in a number of OR projects to support conflict resolution. The authors argue that this theory (and associated models) is also useful for conflict prevention. It indicates the need to support people in discussing their differences before conflict arises. Potential conflicts can be reframed through dialogue fo...

we investigate the boundary-value problem generated by the sturm-liouville equation withdiscontinuous coefficients, eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions and transmission conditionsat the point of discontinuity. with a different approach we introduce an adequate hilbert spaceformulation, investigate some properties of eigenvalues, green’s function and resolvent operator, andfind simple c...
