Using a recently introduced method [D. Bini, T. Damour, and A. Geralico, Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 231104 (2019)], which splits the conservative dynamics of gravitationally interacting binary systems into a nonlocal-in-time part and a local-in-time one, we compute the local part of the dynamics at the sixth post-Newtonian (6PN) accuracy. Our strategy combines several theoretical formalisms: post-Newtonian, post-Minkowskian, multipolar-post-Minkowskian, effective-field-theory, gravitational self-force, effective one-body, and Delaunay averaging.

Linear solvers for large and sparse systems are a key element of scientific applications, and their efficient implementation is necessary to harness the computational power of current computers. Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) Preconditioners are a popular ingredient of such linear solvers; this is the motivation for the present work where we examine some recent developments in a package of AMG preconditioners to improve efficiency, scalability, and robustness on extreme-scale problems.

Using the new methodology introduced in a recent paper [D. Bini, T. Damour, and A. Geralico, Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 231104 (2019)], we present the details of the computation of the conservative dynamics of gravitationally interacting binary systems at the fifth post-Newtonian (5PN) level, together with its extension at the fifth-and-a-half post-Newtonian level. We present also the sixth post-Newtonian (6PN) contribution to the third-post-Minkowskian (3PM) dynamics.

MIPAS is a Fourier Transform spectrometer that measured the atmospheric limb emission spectra in the middle infrared on board the ENVISAT satellite.

Background: Mutations of the mitochondrial protein paraplegin cause hereditary spastic paraplegia type 7 (SPG7), a so-far untreatable degenerative disease of the upper motoneuron with still undefined pathomechanism. The intermittent mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, called flickering, is an essential process that operates to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing intra-matrix Ca and reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration, and is critical for efficient synaptic function.

We introduce non-local dynamics on directed networks through the construction of a fractional version of a non-symmetric Laplacian for weighted directed graphs. Furthermore, we provide an analytic treatment of fractional dynamics for both directed and undirected graphs, showing the possibility of exploring the network employing random walks with jumps of arbitrary length. We also provide some examples of the applicability of the proposed dynamics, including consensus over multi-agent systems described by directed networks.

In this work we introduce and study a nonlocal version of the PageRank. In our approach, the random walker explores the graph using longer excursions than just moving between neighboring nodes. As a result, the corresponding ranking of the nodes, which takes into account a long-range interaction between them, does not exhibit concentration phenomena typical of spectral rankings which take into account just local interactions. We show that the predictive value of the rankings obtained using our proposals is considerably improved on different real world problems.

Visibility has an encompassing importance in humans' perception of the landscape, since the first encounter with a new environment normally occurs through sight. In historical and archaeological studies, two main methods (i.e., the geometric method and the Geographical Information System [GIS] computation) have been employed to determine the distance from which an object can be recognized. However, neither is exhaustive when applied to a maritime context, where the main factor affecting the visibility radius is weather.

We present a numerical study of two-dimensional turbulent flows in the enstropy cascade regime, with different large-scale energy sinks. In particular, we study the statistics of more-than-differentiable velocity fluctuations by means of two sets of statistical estimators, namely inverse statistics and second-order differences. In this way, we are able to probe statistical fluctuations that are not captured by the usual spectral analysis. We show that a new set of exponents associated to more-than-differentiable fluctuations of the velocity field exists.
