• #### Tate's and Yoshida's theorems on control of transfer for fusion systems ﻿

(2010-03)
We prove analogues of results of Tate and Yoshida on control of transfer for fusion systems. This requires the notions of p-group residuals and transfer maps in cohomology for fusion systems. As a corollary, we obtain a ...
• #### Temperature effects on brain tissue in compression ﻿

(2012)
Extensive research has been carried out for at least 50 years to understand the mechanical properties of brain tissue in order to understand the mechanisms of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The observed large variability ...
• #### Third and fourth-order elasticity of biological soft tissues ﻿

(Acoustical Society of America, 2010-01-24)
In the theory of weakly nonlinear elasticity, Hamilton et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 116, 41-44 (2004)] identified W = -I2+(A/3)I3+DI22 as the fourth-order expansion of the strain-energy density for incompressible isotropic ...
• #### Third- and fourth-order constants of incompressible soft solids and the acousto-elastic effect. ﻿

(Acoustical Society of America, 2010-02)
Acousto-elasticity is concerned with the propagation of small-amplitude waves in deformed solids. Results previously established for the incremental elastodynamics of exact non-linear elasticity are useful for the determination ...
• #### Torsion instability of soft solid cylinders ﻿

(Oxford Open Journals, 2013-12-10)
The application of pure torsion to a long and thin cylindrical rod is known to provoke a twisting instability, evolving from an initial kink to a knot. In the torsional parallel-plate rheometry of stubby cylinders, the ...
• #### Torus Chiral n-Point Functions for Free Boson and Lattice Vertex Operator Algebras ﻿

(2002)
We obtain explicit expressions for all genus one chiral n-point functions for free bosonic and lattice vertex operator algebras. We also consider the elliptic properties of these functions.
• #### Torus n-Point Functions for $\mathbb{R}$-graded Vertex Operator Superalgebras and Continuous Fermion Orbifolds ﻿

(2007)
We consider genus one n-point functions for a vertex operator superalgebra with a real grading. We compute all n-point functions for rank one and rank two fermion vertex operator superalgebras. In the rank two fermion case, ...
• #### Toward a predictive assessment of stab-penetration forces ﻿

(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2015-09)
Collaborative research between the disciplines of forensic pathology and biomechanics was undertaken to investigate the hyperelastic properties of human skin, to determine the force required for sharp instrument penetration ...
• #### Transverse waves in nonlinearly elastic solids and the Milne-Pinney equation ﻿

(SAGE Journals, 2011-08-17)
We establish a connection between the general equations of nonlinear elastodynamics and the nonlinear ordinary differential equation of Pinney [Proc Amer Math Soc 1950; 1: 681]. As a starting point, we use the exact ...
• #### A two-weight scheme for a time-dependent advection-diffusion problem ﻿

(2011)
We consider a family of two-weight finite difference schemes for a time-dependent advection-diffusion problem. For a given uniform grid-spacing in time and space, and for a fixed value of advection and diffusion parameters, ...
• #### 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. ...
