A geometric flow on noncompact affine Riemannian manifolds
No full textIn this paper, we obtain the existence criteria for a geometic flow on
noncompact affine Riemannian manifolds. Our results can be regarded as a real
version of Lee-Tam [19]. As an application, we prove that a complete noncompact
Hessian manifold with nonnegative Hessian sectional curvature and bounded
geometry is diffeomorphic to if its tangent bundle has maximal
volume growth.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:math/0504422,

The Pogorelov estimates for degenerate curvature equations
No full textWe establish the Pogorelov type estimates for degenerate prescribed
k-curvature equations as well as k-Hessian equations. Furthermore,we
investigate the interior C1,1 regularity of the solutions for Dirichlet
problems. These techniques also enable us to improve the existence theorem for
an asymptotic Plateau type problem in hyperbolic space

Temporomandibular Joint Pain is Negatively Correlated to TNF Alpha and Osteoprotegrin Content in Synovial Fluid in Patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
No full textObjective: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement occurs in up to 80% of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Little is known with regard to the complexity of the protein profile in synovial fluid (SF) from JIA arthritis during growth as compared to both JIA and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of adults.
Design: Synovial fluid was collected from 54 joints/30 patients with TMJ arthritis (JIA 35 joints/20 patients, JIA adults 9 joints/5 patients, RA 10 joints/5 patients). Three cytokines and seven bone markers were quantified using Luminex multiplex assays and compared to demographic and clinical data of function and pain.
Results: Pain (spontaneous and upon palpation) and duration of pain were all negatively correlated with the TMJ SF content of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. The level of Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) was negatively correlated to TMJ pain upon palpation and post-treatment pain and function. The concentration of ACTH was significantly lower in SF in JIA (1.4 ± 2.8 pg/ml) compared to adults with JIA (4.7 ± 12.2 pg/ml) and significantly higher compared to adults with RA (0.8 ± 1.5 pg/ml). Osteoprotegerin (OPG) was negatively correlated to spontaneous pain.
Conclusions: Our results indicate that the local concentrations of TNF-α, ACTH and OPG in TMJ fluid may not contribute to TMJ pain and tissue destruction in JIA/RA patients.

Damage detection in semiconductor devices by non-linear elastic wave spectroscopy
No full textSemiconductor devices can be found everywhere in our daily lives, for example in self-driving cars, bank cards and personal devices such as smart phones or notebooks. Once part of these personal devices, one does not want them to show failure. Although reliability of such devices is taken into account in the design, the fabrication process might lead to the emergence of small damages in the product. Since these damages or their propagation might cause failure of the device, a series of visual inspections and functional tests is part of the fabrication process. The obtained resolution by optical microscopy, currently the state of the art inspection method, is not sufficient for the detection of small damages such as microcracks or damages located inside a sample. To keep improving the reliability of semiconductor devices, these damages need to be detected in another high speed, low cost way.As semiconductor devices shrink in size, their natural vibration frequencies increase and approach theMHz-range. Vibration based damage detection methods might therefore offer an alternative high speed in-situ inspection method. The main goal of this thesis is to identify and experimentally verify vibration characteristics that indicate the presence of damage, with a focus on microcracks, in semiconductor devices. While linear vibration based damage methods have proven to be insensitive to small damages such as microcracks, non-linear vibration based damage detection methods show much higher sensitivities to this type of damage. The non-linear elastic wave spectroscopy (NEWS) of several damaged materials have shown two characteristic phenomena: amplitude dependent natural frequency shifts and the generation of higher harmonics. Both are explained by a phenomenological non-linear hysteric elastic model. While the applicability of NEWS is proven for several materials, its performance for silicon, in particular at microscale, is still unknown.Mechanical Engineering | Micro and Nano Engineerin
SECOND ORDER ESTIMATES FOR HESSIAN TYPE FULLY NONLINEAR ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS ON RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS
No full textAbstract. We derive a priori estimates for second order derivatives of solutions to a wide calss of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds. The equations we consider naturally appear in geometric problems and other applications such as optimal transportation. There are some fundamental assumptions in the literature to ensure the equations to be elliptic and that one can apply EvansKrylov theorem once the C 2 estimates are derived. However, in previous work one needed extra assumptions which are more technical in nature to overcome various difficulties. In this paper we are able to remove most of these technical assumptions. Indeed, we derive the estimates under conditions which are almost optimal, and prove existence results for the Dirichlet problem which are new even for bounded domains in Euclidean space. Moreover, our methods can be applied to other types of nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations, including those on complex manifolds
