The Mathematics of Desert: Merit, Fit, and Well-Being
Here, we argue for a mathematical equation that captures desert. Our procedure consists of setting out principles that a correct equation must satisfy and then arguing that our set of equations satisfies them.

An Intrinsic Version of the k-Harmonic Equation
The notion of k-harmonic curves is associated with the kth-order variational problem defined by the k-energy functional. The present paper gives a geometric formulation of this higher-order variational problem on a Riemannian manifold M and describes a generalized Legendre transformation defined from the kth-order tangent bundle TkM to the cotangent ...

Thermodynamical Properties of Apparent Horizon in Warped DGP Braneworld [PDF]
In this paper we first obtain Friedmann equations for the $(n-1)$-dimensional brane embedded in the $(n+1)$-dimensional bulk, with intrinsic curvature term of the brane included in the action (DGP model).

Intrinsic time gravity and the Lichnerowicz–York equation [PDF]
We investigate the effect on the Hamiltonian structure of general relativity of choosing an intrinsic time to fix the time slicing. 3-covariance with momentum constraint is maintained, but the Hamiltonian constraint is replaced by a dynamical equation for the trace of the momentum.

Intrinsic rotation in tokamaks: theory [PDF]
Self-consistent equations for intrinsic rotation in tokamaks with small poloidal magnetic field $B_p$ compared to the total magnetic field $B$ are derived.

A Rich Example of Geometrically Induced Nonlinearity: From Rotobreathers and Kinks to Moving Localized Modes and Resonant Energy Transfer [PDF]
We present an experimentally realizable, simple mechanical system with linear interactions whose geometric nature leads to nontrivial, nonlinear dynamical equations.

Geometrically Nonlinear Analysis for Elastic Beam Using Point Interpolation Meshless Method
The intrinsic beam theory, as one of the exact beam formulas, is quite suitable to describe large deformation of the flexible curved beam and has been widely used in many engineering applications. Owing to the advantages of the intrinsic beam theory, the

Nontrivial RR two-form field strength and SU(3)-structure [PDF]
We discuss how in the presence of a nontrivial RR two-form field strength and nontrivial dilaton the conditions of preserving supersymmetry on six-dimensional manifolds lead to generalized monopole and Killing spinor equations.

The Force Between Two Sliding Bodies When Observed from a Third Moving Body
This paper pertains to the observations of the sliding friction force from different moving bodies. The paper derives the equations required to predict the forces on the free-body diagrams of two sliding bodies when observed from a third moving body. The

Precise prediction of dielectric property for CaZrO3 ceramic [PDF]
As for CaZrO3 (CZ) ceramic, the reported dielectric property values, especially dielectric constants, were much different from 23 to 32, which is reliable and credible? Without precise property data, CZ can’t be further developed and utilized accurately.
