{{Infobox scientist
In [[differential geometry]], a '''''G''<sub>2</sub> manifold''' is a seven-dimensional [[Riemannian manifold]] with [[holonomy group]] [[G2 (mathematics)|''G''<sub>2</sub>]]. The [[group (mathematics)|group]] <math>G_2</math> is one of the five exceptional [[simple Lie group]]s. It can be described as the [[automorphism group]] of the [[octonions]], or equivalently, as a proper subgroup of SO(7) that preserves a [[spinor]] in the eight-dimensional spinor representation or lastly as the subgroup of GL(7) which preserves a ''positive, nondegenerate'' 3-form, <math>\phi_0</math>. The later definition was used by R. Bryant. Non-degenerate may be taken to be one whose orbit has maximal dimension in <math>\Lambda^3(\Bbb R^7)</math>. The stabilizer of such a non-degenerate form necessarily preserves an inner product which is either positive definite or of signature <math>(3,4)</math>. Thus, <math>G_2</math> is a subgroup of <math>SO(7)</math>. By covariant transport, a manifold with holonomy <math>G_2</math> has a Riemannian metric and a parallel (covariant constant) 3-form, <math>\phi</math>, the associative form. The Hodge dual, <math>\psi=*\phi</math> is then a parallel 4-form, the coassociative form. These forms are [[calibrated geometry|calibrations in the sense of Harvey-Lawson]], and thus define special classes of 3 and 4 dimensional submanifolds, respectively. The deformation theory of such submanifolds was studied by McLean.

'''Yuan-Cheng "Bert" Fung''' (born 1919) is an American bio-engineer. He is regarded as a founding figure of [[bioengineering]], [[tissue engineering]], and the "Founder of Modern [[Biomechanics]]".<ref>[http://www.techscience.com/mcb_pdf/v1n1/pdf/184288277842.pdf YC “Bert” Fung: The Father of Modern Biomechanics (pdf)]</ref>
If ''M'' is a <math>G_2</math>-manifold, then ''M'' is:
* [[Ricci-flat]]
* [[orientable]]
* a [[spin manifold]]


== History ==
==Biography==
Manifold with holonomy <math>G_2</math> was firstly introduced by Edmond Bonan in 1966, who constructed the parallel 3-form, the parallel 4-form and showed that this manifold was Ricci-flat. The first complete, but noncompact 7-manifolds with holonomy <math>G_2</math> were constructed by [[Robert Bryant (mathematician)|Robert Bryant]] and Salamon in 1989.  The first compact 7-manifolds with holonomy <math>G_2</math> were constructed by [[Dominic Joyce]] in 1994, and compact <math>G_2</math> manifolds are sometimes known as "Joyce manifolds", especially in the physics literature.
Fung was born in [[Jiangsu]] Province, [[China]] in 1919. He earned a Bachelor's degree in 1941 and a Master's degree in 1943 from the [[National Central University]] (later renamed [[Nanjing University]] in [[mainland China]] and reinstated in [[Taiwan]]), and earned a Ph.D. from the [[California Institute of Technology]] in the [[United States]] in 1948.  


== Connections to physics ==
Fung currently is Professor Emeritus and Research Engineer at the [[University of California, San Diego|University of California, San Diego (UCSD)]].
These manifolds are important in [[string theory]]. They break the original [[supersymmetry]] to 1/8 of the original amount. For example, [[M-theory]] compactified on a <math>G_2</math> manifold leads to a realistic four-dimensional (11-7=4) theory with N=1 supersymmetry. The resulting low energy effective [[supergravity]] contains a single supergravity [[supermultiplet]], a number of [[chiral supermultiplet]]s equal to the third [[Betti number]] of the <math>G_2</math> manifold and a number of U(1) [[vector supermultiplet]]s equal to the second Betti number.
 
==Research==
He is the author of numerous books including Foundations of Solid Mechanics, Continuum Mechanics, and a series of books on Biomechanics. He is also one of the principal founders of the ''Journal of Biomechanics'' and was a past chair of the [[American Society of Mechanical Engineers|ASME]] International [[Applied Mechanics Division]]. In 1972, Fung established the Biomechanics Symposium under the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This biannual summer meeting, first held at the Georgia Institute of Technology, became the annual Summer Bioengineering Conference. Fung and colleagues were also the first to recognize the importance of residual stress on arterial mechanical behavior.<ref name="residual">{{cite journal

He is also one of the principal founders of the Journal of Biomechanics and was a past chair of the ASME International Applied Mechanics Division. In 1972, Fung established the Biomechanics Symposium under the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This biannual summer meeting, first held at the Georgia Institute of Technology, became the annual Summer Bioengineering Conference. Fung and colleagues were also the first to recognize the importance of residual stress on arterial mechanical behavior.[2]

Fung's Law

Fung's famous exponential strain constitutive equation for preconditioned soft tissues is

In the event you've just lately been requested by your employer to be posted to Singapore, then this website is for you. Whether or not you're single or married with kids, whether or not you are looking for a condominium, a bungalow, a semi-detached or a public condo, residing and renting a house in Singapore at this time is straightforward when you recognize the ins and outs, the dos and don'ts.

He is a rip-off!! Severely trust me he's on of the scammer agent. He made me believe that I've a spot to remain then when I was about to move the place isn't out there. Then he just took my deposit and agent's charge. By the best way he's also the landlord of the place i am presupposed to lease. He took my money and ran away. However I went to the HDB and complain him, additionally I complain straight to the police. Then the police called him and he got scared. Finally each penny that I gave him, he give it again since HDB and police office is supporting me. Don't be lazy to complain. Go straight to the police and complain these individuals.

i imagine there are good ethical brokers in Singapore. But i have encounter unhealthy experiencing the Christina Fong from realty master. She is admittedly an unprofessional and never moral one. Only considering of undercutiing and squeezing money from ptther people without defending interest of her personal shopper. Proceed to the section Training and look at a map of all worldwide colleges in Singapore or visit the section residential areas for detailed data on the place to stay and why. Information District and Location Have completed no less than 30 property transactions up to now three years. At least 10 of these transactions will have to be for private properties, and at the very least one other 10 needs to be for HDB flats (also known as public housing); Singapore-Indonesia Commercial Affiliation

Agents need to be very resourceful and so they have to work doubly onerous to succeed in out to extra consumers as a result of when the market swings, it turns into very aggressive," said PropNex Chief Executive Mohamed Ismail. "Beforehand, an agent might focus on one space, comparable to HDB, however at this time you may't." An motion for misrepresentation arises beneath the law of tort. A Misrepresentation happens when the Representor (Property Agent) makes a false assertion of existing truth with data of its falsity and with the intention that the Representee (Buyer or Seller) ought to act on it with the consequence that the Representee does act on it to his detriment.

On February 19 we had an appointment with the proprietor and his agent (A and H!) at the condominium to hand over the keys. They went by means of all the things with a wonderful tooth comb. An important lesson we learned over all this is that you simply MUST ENGAGE YOUR PERSONAL AGENT and never rely on the homeowners agent as his priority is to the proprietor not you. Nevertheless, last night time my own agent called me and informed me suddenly that ECG instructed them a buyer goes handy them a check within the morning, so we higher act fast or we may lose the property.

With a reduction of 12 p.c, they claimed to promote 80 to eighty five units. Whereas developers are clearing their existing stock, every month there are new projects acquiring their HIGH and new sites released by the government to construct more private housing.

To know who pays actual property commissions - whether or not it's sellers or buyers or both or if it is Landlord's or Tenant's or both Divisions vary. All Brokers work on a commission scheme that is determined by the experience, efficiency and various other elements equivalent to recruitment and many others. New brokers can receive from a range of 60%-70% of the full fee received by them from the closure of a deal. High producing brokers would possibly obtain 100% and pay the company (broker) a desk fee.
