Nonlinear stability for a class of doubly warped spacetimes is proved. The background spacetimes have negative Einstein factors. It shown that for dimension D ≥ 11 there is a full parameter family of solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations which has Kasner-like singularity and Friedmann like asympotics in the future. In particular, these spacetimes have crushing singularity and are globally ...

The valves of oysters act as a physical barrier between tissues and the external environment, thereby protecting the oyster from environmental stress and predation. To better understand differences in shell properties and predation susceptibilities of two physiologically and morphologically similar oysters, Crassostrea virginica and Crassostrea ariakensis, we quantified and compared two mechani...

In previous in vitro experiments using an Instron instrument, each test food was found to have characteristic textural properties. In vivo experiments were now made (1) to determine the degree to which variations in the vertical jaw movements during the crushing phase of mastication can be explained by the inherent properties of the foodstuff being chewed, and (2) to establish the degree to whi...
