the finite element method is employed for the flexural-torsional linear buckling analysis of beams of arbitrarily shaped composite cross-section taking into account generalized warping (shear lag effects due to both flexure and torsion). the contacting materials, that constitute the composite cross section, may include a finite number of holes. a compressive axial load is applied to the beam. the...

We derive an exact expression for the partition function of the Euclidean BTZ black hole. Using this, we show that for a black hole with large horizon area, the correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is −3/2 log(area), in agreement with that for the Schwarzschild black hole obtained in the four dimensional canonical gravity formalism and also in a Lorentzian computation of BTZ black hole ...

A correction procedure is proposed to correct for the effects of characteristic fluorescence in EPMA near phase boundaries. The necessary equations for the simple case of two homogeneous alloys sharing a common interface are given. The equations have been tested in practice and it is shown that they are well suited to predict the apparent concentration of the element suffering from secondary ex...

We discuss radiative corrections to the Casimir effect from an effective field theory point of view. It is an improvement and more complete version of a previous discussion by Kong and Ravndal. By writing down the most general effective Lagrangian respecting the symmetries and the boundary conditions, we are able to reproduce earlier results of Bordag, Robaschik and Wieczorek calculated in full...

In this paper is presented a method for the accurate estimation of the image boundary from incomplete raw MRI data. This is necessary for the phase correction and the image reconstruction from incomplete Cartesian or Radial scans using MR techniques and therefore for the reduction of MRI scan time. The exact estimation method comprises the binarization of the low resolution image, the fast sepa...

We find the origin of logarithmic correction to the absorption cross section by studying the spin–dependent wave equation in three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space(AdS3). It turns out that all test fields(ψν=1) coupled to (1,1), (2,0), (0,2) operator on the boundary at infinity receive logarithmic corrections. These are a minimally coupled scalar and gauge bosons. It turns out that these correc...

Thermoacoustic tomography (TAT) is a technique that measures microwave-induced thermoacoustic waves at the boundary of biological tissue and generates images of internal microwave absorption distributions from the measurements. Existing reconstruction algorithms for TAT are based on the assumption that the acoustic properties in the tissue are homogeneous. Biological tissue, however, has hetero...

In this paper, we consider the deferred correction principle for high order accurate time discretization of partial differential equations (PDEs) and ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Deferred correction is based on a lower order method, here we use second order accurate A-stable methods. Solutions of higher order accuracy are computed successively. The computational complexity for calcul...
