Complex variable formulations for usual and hypersingular integral equations for potential problems — with applications to corners and cracks

This paper first presents an unified discussion of real and complex boundary integral equations (BIEs) for two-dimensional potential problems. Relationships between real and complex formulations, for both usual and hypersingular BIEs, are discussed. Potential problems in bounded as well as in unbounded domains are of concern in this work. Quantities of particular interest are derivatives of the primary field that exhibit discontinuities across corners, as well as stress intensity factors at the tips of mode III cracks. The latter problem in an application of a recent generalization of the well-known Plemelj-Sokhotsky formulae. Numerical implementations and results for interior problems in bounded domains, as well as for crack problems in unbounded domains, are presented and discussed.C. Y.

Minimal communication cost software construction in the Internet environment

This paper investigates the issue of building software in the Internet environment, where local area network (LAN) based systems are interconnected by links with different bandwidth and do not share file systems. The software is modeled as a directed acyclic graph. Each node in the graph represents a logical step in processing the software while the edges describe the order of execution. The problem is to construct the software at a particular LAN with minimum Internet communication cost. An optimal polynomial algorithm, SOFTCON, with time complexity is presented, where and are the number of nodes and edges in the graph describing the software respectively, is the number of LANs in the Internet environment, and is the time complexity of the network flow algorithm on the flow network with nodes and edges transformed from the directed acyclic graph of the software.

Role of IL-4 and IFN-gamma in modulation of immunity to Borrelia burgdorferi in mice

Because T cells appear to modulate the severity of murine Borrelia burgdorferi infections, we decided to examine the possible involvement of T cell-associated cytokines in disease outcome. Comparison of in vitro B. burgdorferi Ag-induced cytokine production in disease-susceptible and -resistant strains revealed striking differences; spleen cells from susceptible C3H mice produced significantly higher levels of IL-2 and IFN-gamma and lower levels of IL-4 than spleen cells from resistant BALB/c mice. Lymph node responses were even more divergent, with C3H mice producing high levels of IFN-gamma, and BALB/c mice producing little or none. This apparent Th1/Th2 cytokine imbalance was also reflected in vivo, since serum from C3H had significantly higher levels of B. burgdorferi-specific IgG2a Ab and lower levels of IgG1 Ab than serum from BALB/c mice. In vivo studies confirmed the importance of IL-4 in early control of spirochete growth, since treatment of either strain with neutralizing anti-IL-4 mAb led to increased joint swelling and higher spirochete burdens in joints compared with those in control mAb-treated mice. In contrast, IFN-gamma may hinder early control of spirochete growth in susceptible C3H mice, since treatment of mice with neutralizing anti-IFN-gamma mAb reduced both joint swelling and joint spirochete burdens compared with those in control mAb-treated mice. These studies indicate opposing roles for IL-4 and IFN-gamma in the modulation of spirochete growth and disease development in B. burgdorferi-infected mice and suggest that differential cytokine production early in infection may contribute to strain-related differences in susceptibility.
