the main issues about relation between climate and relief in the romanian geomorphological literature follow three directions of research: the description of pleistocene glacial and pleistocene-holocene periglacial landforms in the carpathians; the direct analysis of climate?s role in landform development; the integration of separate works and findings in a synthetic morphodynamic system applic...

in this paper, we study cyclic surfaces in 5 1 e generated by homothetic motions of a lorentziancircle. the properties of these cyclic surfaces up to first order are investigated. we show that, as it is shown ine5 , cyclic 2-surfaces in 5 1 e , in general, are contained in canal hypersurfaces. finally, we give an example.

Over the past decade, the civil engineering community has ever more realized the importance and perspective of reliability-based design optimization (RBDO). Since then several advanced stochastic simulation algorithms for computing small failure probabilities encountered in reliability analysis of engineering systems have been developed: Subset Simulation (Au and Beck (2001) [2]), Line Sampling...

background: the role of the hospital environment as a source of dissemination of pathogens is critical. environmental surfaces in the intensive care units (icus) are suitable for the growth of gram-negative bacteria that normally circulate between the environment and patients and can cause outbreaks of nosocomial infections. in this study, the prevalence of gram-negative bacilli in the environm...

titania nanotubes (tnt) prepared by anodization of ti foils were used for water splitting in a standalone cell. the concentration polarization between the anode side (1m naoh) and cathode side (0.5 m h2so4) ensured that the water splitting reaction could take place with no external bias and separate h2 and o2 evolution could be achieved. the destruction of tnt structures under 365 nm uv irradia...

in this paper, we consider weighted composition operators betweenmeasurable differential forms and then some classic properties of these operators are characterized.

in this paper, the time-like hyperruled surfaces in the minkowski 4-space and their algebraicinvariants are worked. also some characteristic results are found about these algebraic invariants.

in this paper, the dual area vector of a closed dual spherical curve is kinematically generatedand the dual steineer vector of a motion are extensively studied by the methods of differential geometry.jacobi’s theorems, known for real curves, are investigated for closed dual curves. the closed trajectorysurfaces generated by an oriented line are fixed in a moving rigid body in ir3 , in which the...

introduction: until now, many models have been presented for optical study of the human eye. in recent years, surgery on the anterior section of the eye (such as cataract and photo-refractive surgery) has increased, so a study on the optics of the eye and evaluation of vision quality has become more important. material and methods: in this article, some of these models are considered. they incl...

In this paper we studied the translation surfaces according to a new frame called q-frame in three dimensional Euclidean space. The curvatures of the translation surface are obtained in terms of q-frame curvatures. Finally some special cases are investigated for these surfaces.
