This monograph presents the basic theorems of differential geometry in three-dimensional space, including a thorough coverage of surface theory. By means of a series of carefully selected and representative mathematical models this monograph also explains at length how these theorems are used in three-...

Introduction The defining feature of life is self-replication. For non-interacting unicellular organisms in constant environments, the rate of this self-replication is equivalent to their evolutionary fitness1: fast-growing cells outcompete those growing more slowly. Accordingly, we expect that natural ...
The elastic constant called Young's modulus is the slope of each of these curves.(Adapted from Bowman KJ (2004) An Introduction to Mechanical Behavior of Materials. Wiley; © Wiley. This material is used by permission of John Wiley and Sons, Inc.) By the twentieth century, it became ...
Economic agents have time to adjust in the long run so the long-run trade elasticity is larger than the short-run elasticity. While this explanation is appealing, it abstracts from the fact that the two types of studies rely on very different sources of variation, so that the different ...
Its two-fold aim is to provide a thorough introduction to the basic theorems of differential geometry and to elasticity in curvilinear coordinates and shell theory. To this end, the fundamental existence and uniqueness theorems are proved in great details. Such theorems include the fundamental ...

Introduction Low-Reynolds-number (Re≪1) hydrodynamics governs the locomotion of microswimmers1,2. The Navier-Stokes equation becomes time-independent when the viscous force dominates over the inertial force in the low Re regime. Applying this equation to Newtonian incompressible fluids, the scallop ...
According to the theory of elasticity [22,23], the component of the displacement field parallel to the Burgers vector, ug, for the lattice planes, g→, around an edge dislocation is given by (12.1)ug=bg2π(θ+sin2θ4(1−ν)) where bg is the component of the Burgers vector in the...
