We introduce a new isometric strain model for the study of the dynamics of cloth garments in a moderate stress environment, such as robotic manipulation in the neighborhood of humans. This model treats textiles as surfaces ...

The big bang singularity could be understood as a breakdown of Einstein’s general relativity at very high energies. By adopting this viewpoint, other theories that implement Einstein cosmology at high energies might solve ...

The development of SC devices based on HTSC tapes requires a deep knowledge of the current distribution in both pre-saturation and post-saturation regimes. Magnetic measurements have shown the possibilities ...

It is proved that a generic simple, closed, piecewise regular curve in space can be the boundary of only infinitely many developable surfaces with nonvanishing mean curvature. The relevance of this result in the context ...

We prove that the vanishing spheres of the Lefschetz pencils constructed by Donaldson on symplectic manifolds of any dimension are conjugated under the action of the symplectomorphism group of the fiber. More precisely, ...

The geometric mono dromy of a family of complex pro jective curves is equiv- alent to the mono dromy in the fundamental group of the b ers. When the family is one of branched covers of the pro jective line this mono ...
