Stress concentration in a three-layer plate with two cylindrical cavities

The stressed state of a thick three-layer plate with two circular holes is studied. Resolving functions are expressed in terms of Kolosov-Muskhelishvili integral potentials and modified Bessel functions. The problem is reduced to solving an infinite set of linear algebraic equations.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Prikladnaya Mekhanika, No. 18, pp. 25–28, 1987.     

Slim graphs

We consider the graphs that can be obtained by deleting in a Meyniel graphG all the edges induced by an arbitrary set of nodes. These graphs will be called Slim and we prove that they are perfect. We study relations between Slim graphs and other well known classes of perfect graphs; particularly we show that the perfection of Slim graphs gives a proof to the conjecture of M. Preissmann that Meyniel graphs are locally perfect.     

Porosity and typical properties of real-valued continuous functions

Some well-known theorems on typical properties of real-valued continuous functions defined on [0, 1] are improved using the notion of porosity.     

Correlation between time functions of sound pressure, masking, and OAE suppression

Periodic sound-pressure time functions with frequency components below 50 Hz were used to measure within their period (a) the temporal course of masking, called a masking-period pattern (MPP), and (b) the temporal course of suppression of delayed evoked otoacoustic emissions, called a suppression-period pattern (SPP). Three different time functions were used: an alternating Gaussian impulse, its first integral, and its second integral. In each case, the course of the SPP is a mirror image of that of the MPP: Small masking corresponds to small suppression, while strong masking coincides with almost total suppression. Since otoacoustic emissions are assumed to have their origin in the inner ear, it can be argued that simultaneous masking, an effect including central processing, is very strongly based on peripheral processes located in the cochlea. Both MPP and SPP are closely related to the second derivative of the sound-pressure time function.     

Determination of lithium in wines by atomic absorption spectrometry

Lithium (10–150 ng ml^?1) in wine is determined by atomic absorption spectrometry by direct nebulization and after digestion with mixed acids. The results of methods are similar. Thirty-four wines from various Spanish provinces are analysed.
