The purpose of this paper is to study a model coupling an incompressible viscous fluid with an elastic structure in a bounded container. We prove the existence of weak solutions “à la Leray” as long as no collisions occur.

We report a detection of the coherent distortion of faint galaxies arising from gravitational lensing by foreground structures. This “cosmic shear” is potentially the most direct measure of the mass power spectrum, as it is unaffected by poorly-justified assumptions made concerning the biasing of the distribution. Our detection is based on an initial imaging study of 14 separated 8 × 16 fields ...

Research into word meaning and similarity structure typically focus on highly related entities like CATS and MICE. However, most items in the world are only weakly related. Does our representation of the world encode any information about these weak relationships? Using a three-alternative forced-choice similarity task, we investigate to what extent people agree on the relationships underlying ...

We calculate corrections to the power spectrum predictions of weak lensing by large scale structure due to higher order effects in the gravitational potential. Using a perturbative approach to third order in transverse displacements, we calculate a second order correction to the angular power spectra of E and B mode shear and convergence resulting from dropping the so-called Born approximation,...

A new method to determine the phase diagram of certain lattice fermionic field theories in the weakly coupled regime is presented. This method involves a new type of weak coupling expansion which is multiplicative rather than additive in nature and allows perturbative calculation of partition function zeroes. Application of the method to the single flavour Gross-Neveu model gives a phase diagra...

It would appear that the concepts NEWSPAPER, DOCTOR, BUS, and BANK have nothing in common that distinguish them from concepts like MAGAZINE, SURGEON, CAR, and HOTEL. Nevertheless, definite noun phrases containing words corresponding to the two sets of concepts are interpreted differently. For example, ”John went to the surgeon and Bill did too” is interpreted as involving a specific surgeon who...

The knowledge on stellar weak interaction processes is one of the most important ingredients for resolving astrophysical questions. Study of these rates is essentially a nuclear structure problem, in which the actual decay rates are determined by the microscopic inside of nuclear many-body systems. For many astrophysically-interested questions, information on detailed nuclear level structure at...

The weak heap is a priority queue that was introduced as a competitive structure for sorting. Its array-based form supports the operations find -min in O(1) worst-case time, and insert and delete-min in O(lg n) worst-case time using at most dlg ne element comparisons. Additionally, its pointer-based form supports delete and decrease in O(lg n) worst-case time using at most dlg ne element compar...

Imposing a very slight deviation from the isotropic random distribution of macromolecules in solution in an NMR sample tube permits the measurement of residual internuclear dipolar couplings (RDCs). Such interactions are very sensitive functions of the time-averaged orientation of the corresponding internuclear vectors and thereby offer highly precise structural information. In recent years, ad...
