• #### Uniform transmural strain in pre-stressed arteries occurs at physiological pressure ﻿

(Elsevier, 2012-06-21)
Residual deformation (strain) exists in arterial vessels, and has been previously proposed to induce homogeneous transmural strain distribution. In this work, we present analytical formulations that predict the existence ...
• #### Vertex Operators and Modular Forms ﻿

(2009)
The leitmotif of these Notes is the idea of a vertex operator algebra (VOA) and the relationship between VOAs and elliptic functions and modular forms. This is to some extent analogous to the relationship between a finite ...
• #### The Virasoro Algebra and Some Exceptional Lie and Finite Groups ﻿

(2006)
We describe a number of relationships between properties of the vacuum Verma module of a Virasoro algebra and the automorphism group of certain vertex operator algebras. These groups include the Deligne exceptional series ...
• #### Virasoro Correlation Functions for Vertex Operator Algebras ﻿

(2011)
We consider all genus zero and genus one correlation functions for the Virasoro vacuum descendants of a vertex operator algebra. These are described in terms of explicit generating functions that can be combinatorially ...
• #### A wave near the edge of a circular disk ﻿

(2008)
It is shown that in the Love-Kirchhoff plate theory, an edge wave can travel in a circular thin disk made of an isotropic elastic material. This disk edge wave turns out to be faster than the classic flexural acoustic wave ...
• #### Waves and vibrations in a solid of second grade ﻿

(World Scientific, 2006)
We study the viscoelastic second grade solid, for which the constitutive equation consists in the sum of a purely elastic part and a viscoelastic part; this latter part is specified by two microstructural coefficients ...
• #### Weierstrass's criterion and compact solitary waves ﻿

(American Physical Society, 2007-04-17)
Weierstrass's theory is a standard qualitative tool for single degree of freedom equations, used in classical mechanics and in many textbooks. In this Brief Report we show how a simple generalization of this tool makes it ...
• #### The weighted fusion category algebra and the $q$-Schur algebra for $\rm GL_2(q)$ ﻿

(ScienceDirect, 2008-01)
[no abstract available]
• #### Wireless communicative stent for follow-up of abdominal aortic aneurysm, ﻿

(IEEE, 2006)
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a dilatation of the aorta at the abdominal level, which rupture is a life threatening complication. Recent treatment of AAA consists in endovascular treatment with covered stent grafts. ...
