A Comparison Principle for the Mean Curvature Flow Equation with Discontinuous Coefficients

International Journal of Differential Equations, 2016
We study the level set equation in a bounded domain when the velocity of the interface is given by the mean curvature plus a discontinuous velocity. We prove a comparison principle for the initial-boundary value problem whose consequence is uniqueness of

Uniqueness of Closed Equilibrium Hypersurfaces for Anisotropic Surface Energy and Application to a Capillary Problem

Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2019
We study a variational problem for hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space with an anisotropic surface energy. An anisotropic surface energy is the integral of an energy density that depends on the surface normal over the considered hypersurface, which was ...

Mean Curvature Type Flow with Perpendicular Neumann Boundary Condition inside a Convex Cone

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
We investigate the evolution of hypersurfaces with perpendicular Neumann boundary condition under mean curvature type flow, where the boundary manifold is a convex cone.

Mean curvature flow in a Ricci flow background

, 2012
Following work of Ecker, we consider a weighted Gibbons-Hawking-York functional on a Riemannian manifold-with-boundary. We compute its variational properties and its time derivative under Perelman's modified Ricci flow.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Combined Effects of Flow Diverting Strategies and Parent Artery Curvature on Aneurysmal Hemodynamics: A CFD Study.

PLoS ONE, 2015
PurposeFlow diverters (FD) are increasingly being considered for treating large or giant wide-neck aneurysms. Clinical outcome is highly variable and depends on the type of aneurysm, the flow diverting device and treatment strategies.

Evolution of the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator under a forced mean curvature flow

Open Mathematics, 2020
In this paper, we discuss the monotonicity of the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator under a forced mean curvature flow (MCF).

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Convergence rate of the weighted conformal mean curvature flow

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces
In this article, we study the convergence rate of the following Yamabe-type flow Rϕ(t)m=0inMand∂∂tg(t)=2(hϕ(t)m−Hϕ(t)m)g(t)∂∂tϕ(t)=m(Hϕ(t)m−hϕ(t)m)on∂M{R}_{\phi \left(t)}^{m}=0\hspace{0.33em}\hspace{0.1em}\text{in}\hspace{0.1em}\hspace{0.33em}M\hspace ...

Secondary Flow near an Undulatory Surface Induced by Wall Blocking Effect

Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2007
Secondary mean motions of Prandtl's second kind near an undulatory surface are explained in terms of the turbulent blocking effect and kinematic boundary conditions at the surface, and the order of magnitude is estimated. The isotropic turbulence is
