We show that an analog of the age-Grayson-Hamilton Theorem for curves moving according to their mean curvature holds for the motion of quadrilaterals according to their Menger curvature.

In the present paper, we study and classify factorable surfaces in a 3-dimensional isotropic space with constant isotropic Gaussian (K) and mean curvature (H). We provide a non-existence result relating to such surfaces satisfying ${\frac{H}{K}}=const$. Several examples are also illustrated.

A throughflow analysis program for axial flow turbines is constructed, which can handle not only the two-dimensional multi-streamline (streamline curvature) method but also the one-dimensional mean line method. Calculations are performed for single stage and multi-stage axial flowturbines. For a wide operating range, the performance and flow field calculated by the present streamline curvature method are close enough to the test data. It is also revealed for the single stage turbine that the present analysis leads to far better correspondence with the experiment than other researchers" throughflow analyses. A special focus is put on the comparison of the results between the streamline curvature analysis and the mean line analysis. It is found that the mean line analysis can not predict the performance for highly off-designed conditions as accurately as the streamline curvature method, which shows the importance of considering the spanwise variation of loss and flow.

This paper presents a modified mean curvature diffusion filter to smooth speckle noise in images. Mean curvature diffusion filter has already shown good results in reducing noise in images while preserving fine details. In the mean curvature diffusion, the rate of smoothing is controlled by the local value of the diffusion coefficient chosen to be a function of the local image gradient magnitude. In this paper, the diffusion coefficient is modified to be controlled adaptively by local image surface slope and heterogeneity. The local surface slope contributes to preserving details (e.g.edges) in image and the local surface heterogeneity helps the smoothing filter consider the amount of noise in both edge and non-edge area. The proposed filter's performance is demonstrated by quantitative experiments using speckle noised aerial image and TerraSAR-X satellite image.

The purpose of the present paper is to study generic submanifolds of a Sasakian space form with nonvanishing parallel mean curvature vector field such that the shape operator in the direction of the mean curvature vector field commutes with the structure tensor field induced on the submanifold. In .cint. 1 we state general formulas on generic submanifolds of a Sasakian manifold, especially those of a Sasakian space form. .cint.2 is devoted to the study a generic submanifold of a Sasakian manifold, which is not tangent to the structure vector. In .cint.3 we investigate generic submanifolds, not tangent to the structure vector, of a Sasakian space form with nonvanishing parallel mean curvature vactor field. In .cint.4 we discuss generic submanifolds tangent to the structure vector of a Sasakian space form and compute the restricted Laplacian for the shape operator in the direction of the mean curvature vector field. As a applications of these, in the last .cint.5 we prove our main results.

This work considers a particular type of swept surface named canal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space. For such a kind of surfaces, some interesting and important relations about the Gaussian curvature, the mean curvature and the second Gaussian curvature are found. Based on these relations, some canal surfaces are characterized.

We study the asymptotic expansion in small time of the mean distance of Brownian motion on Riemannian manifolds. We compute the first four terms of the asymptotic expansion of the mean distance by using the decomposition of Laplacian into homogeneous components. This expansion can he expressed in terms of the scalar valued curvature invariants of order 2, 4, 6.

In this work, we study time-like and space-like surfaces invariant by a group of translation isometries of the half-space model ℋ³₁ of the anti-de Sitter space ℍ³₁ . We determine all such surfaces with constant mean curvature and constant Gaussian curvature. We also obtain umbilical surfaces of ℋ³₁.

The measurement of the radius of corneal curvature with keratometer was followed in 184 university students who wearing RGP contact lens and consisted of female(167), male(17) and keratoconus patients(3). Overall mean value in the radius of corneal curvature is 7.77mm, and right and left eyes is appeared the same mean value. Overall mean value in horizontal and vertical is 7.88mm and 7.65mm. Horizontal means is larger than vertical means by 0.22mm of the all female and male students. Male's mean value in the radius of corneal curvature(7.84mm) is larger than female's by 0.08mm, and right and left eyes is also the same mean value. Keratoconus patients' mean value in the radius of corneal curvature(6.86mm) is smaller than others students by 0.91mm.
