Riemannian Hilbert submanifolds of nonpositive extrinsic curvature

We consider strongly parabolic, Hilbert submanifolds in Riemannian Hilbert manifolds. We prove that their properties are analogous to the known properties in the finite-dimensional case. The main geometric result consists of Theorem 3: a complete, Riemannian, Hilbert submanifold of nonpositive extrinsic curvature and finite codimension in a Hilbert sphere is a great sphere.Translated from Ukrainskii Geometricheskii Sbornik, No. 33, pp. 91–100, 1990.The author expresses his thanks to Professor A. A. Borisenko for posing the problem and guiding the work.     

The large-particle method in arbitrary nets and its application to the solution of problems in the aeroelasticity of a parachute

Modifications are introduced into the large-particle method to make it possible to use the method in arbitrary nonrectangular computing nets in the study of the flow of an ideal compressible gas over mobile thin permeable membranes. A problem in the aeroelasticity of a parachute is stated. An example is given of the solution of a problem in the stationary formulation for an axially symmetric parachute in the wake of a cylindrical leading body for supersonic flow.Translated fromDinamicheskie Sistemy, No. 6, 1987, pp. 16–22     

New hearing threshold measurements for pure tones under free-field listening conditions.

Hearing thresholds for pure tones were measured under free-field listening conditions in the frequency range of 40 Hz-15 kHz. Results are consistent with the standard threshold specified in ISO 226 for frequencies up to 250 Hz, but a few dB below the ISO curve at higher frequencies. Thresholds are distributed normally on a logarithmic level scale with a standard deviation of approximately 5 dB. No significant differences between thresholds of male and female subjects were observed.
