Intrinsic Spectral Geometry of the Kerr-Newman Event Horizon
We uniquely and explicitly reconstruct the instantaneous intrinsic metric of
the Kerr-Newman Event Horizon from the spectrum of its Laplacian. In the
process we find that the angular momentum parameter, radius, area; and in the
uncharged case, mass, can be written in terms of these eigenvalues. In the
uncharged case this immediately leads to the unique and explicit determination
of the Kerr metric in terms of the spectrum of the event horizon. Robinson's
``no hair" theorem now yields the corollary: One can ``hear the shape" of
noncharged stationary axially symmetric black hole space-times by listening to
the vibrational frequencies of its event horizon only.Comment: Final version with improved abstract, updated references, corrected
typos, and additional discussio
Fire tests on beams with class 4 cross-section subjected to lateral torsional buckling
This paper describes experimental research in behaviour of laterally unrestrained beams (I or H section) of Class 4 constant or variable cross-sections at elevated temperatures. Preparation and design of experiments is described. The design of the test set-up was made by FE modelling and the experiments followed. The test results are given. Future numerical investigation is planned for full understanding of the fire behaviour of steel members of Class 4 cross-sections considering both welded and hot-rolled I or H shape steel profiles
Analysis of the spatial distribution of infant mortality by cause of death in Austria in 1984 to 2006
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In Austria, over the last 20 years infant mortality declined from 11.2 per 1,000 life births (1985) to 4.7 per 1,000 in1997 but remained rather constant since then. In addition to this time trend we already reported a non-random spatial distribution of infant mortality rates in a recent study covering the time period 1984 to 2002.</p> <p>This present study includes four additional years and now covers about 1.9 million individual birth certificates. It aimes to elucidate the observed non-random spatial distribution in more detail. We split up infant mortality into six groups according to the underlying cause of death. The underlying spatial distribution of standardized mortality ratios (SMR) is estimated by univariate models as well as by two models incorporating all six groups simultaneously.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>We observe strong correlations between the individual spatial patterns of SMR's except for "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome" and to some extent for "Peripartal Problems". The spatial distribution of SMR's is non-random with an area of decreased risk in the South-East of Austria. The group "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome" clearly and the group "Peripartal Problems" slightly show deviations from the common pattern. When comparing univariate and multivariate SMR estimates we observe that the resulting spatial distributions are very similar.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>We observe different non-random spatial distributions of infant mortality rates when grouped by cause of death. The models applied were based on individual data thereby avoiding ecological regression bias. The estimated spatial distributions do not substantially depend on the employed estimation method. The observed non-random spatial patterns of Austrian infant mortality remain to appear ambiguous.</p
Ill-posedness of time-dependent inverse problems in Lebesgue-Bochner spaces
We consider time-dependent inverse problems in a mathematical setting using
Lebesgue-Bochner spaces. Such problems arise when one aims to recover
parameters from given observations where the parameters or the data depend on
time. There are various important applications being subject of current
research that belong to this class of problems. Typically inverse problems are
ill-posed in the sense that already small noise in the data causes tremendous
errors in the solution. In this article we present two different concepts of
ill-posedness: temporally (pointwise) ill-posedness and uniform ill-posedness
with respect to the Lebesgue-Bochner setting. We investigate the two concepts
by means of a typical setting consisting of a time-depending observation
operator composed by a compact operator. Furthermore we develop regularization
methods that are adapted to the respective class of ill-posedness.Comment: 21 pages, no figure
