Effect of internal pressure on compressive buckling stress of a cylindrical shell under eccentric loading
“In this paper, an investigation was made of a thin- walled cylindrical shell under compressive load with various eccentricities and internal pressures to study the effect of the internal pressure on the compressive buckling stress of the shell.
So far, theoretical methods have not been devised to solve this problem; therefore, an experimental study was carried out. The experimental results indicated that the buckling load of the shell decreases as the eccentricity increases, that the buckling stress increases as the eccentricity increases, and that the change in buckling stress increases with an increase of internal pressure and is very nearly independent of eccentricity”--Abstract, page ii

Star Formation in the LMC: Gravitational Instability and Dynamical Triggering
Evidence for triggered star formation is difficult to establish because
energy feedback from massive stars tend to erase the interstellar conditions
that led to the star formation. Young stellar objects (YSOs) mark sites of {\it
current} star formation whose ambient conditions have not been significantly
altered. Spitzer observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) effectively
reveal massive YSOs. The inventory of massive YSOs, in conjunction with surveys
of interstellar medium, allows us to examine the conditions for star formation:
spontaneous or triggered. We examine the relationship between star formation
and gravitational instability on a global scale, and we present evidence of
triggered star formation on local scales in the LMC.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, IAU Symposium 237, Triggered Star Formation in a

Strain-Induced Coupling of Spin Current to Nanomechanical Oscillations
We propose a setup which allows to couple the electron spin degree of freedom
to the mechanical motions of a nanomechanical system not involving any of the
ferromagnetic components. The proposed method employs the strain induced
spin-orbit interaction of electrons in narrow gap semiconductors. We have shown
how this method can be used for detection and manipulation of the spin flow
through a suspended rod in a nanomechanical device.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
