The turning circle maneuver of a self-propelled tanker like ship model is numerically simulated through the integration of the unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (uRaNS) equations coupled with the equations of the motion of a rigid body. The solution is achieved by means of the unsteady RANS solver ?navis developed at CNR-INSEAN. The focus here is on the analysis of the maneuvering behavior of the ship with two different stern appendages configurations; namely, a twin screw with a single rudder and a twin screw, twin rudder with a central skeg.

A sharp integrability condition on the right-hand side of the p-Laplace system for all its solutions to be continuous is exhibited. Their uniform continuity is also analyzed and estimates for their modulus of continuity are provided. The relevant estimates are shown to be optimal as the right-hand side ranges in classes of rearrangement-invariant spaces, such as Lebesgue, Lorentz, Lorentz-Zygmund, and Marcinkiewicz spaces, as well as some customary Orlicz spaces.

MONTE SANNACE. Le tombe dipinte dei Peucezi: le indagini su questa collina della provincia di Bari hanno restituito l'esempio meglio conservato di una città della Puglia preromana, ma per capire il livello di civiltà e i rapporti culturali delle genti peucezie che vi si insediarono rivestono particolare importanza le pitture di alcune tombe monumentali appartenute alle élites aristocratiche del luogo.

The conservation of wall paintings in archaeological sites can be difficult due to the severe damage caused by living organisms, which can degrade substrates as a result of their growth and metabolic activity. The purpose of this study was to provide information on the degradation processes affecting the artefacts of an archaeological site and to predict areas where conservation is most at risk and precarious. The study focussed on the archaeological site of Monte Sannace (Italy) and Paleopolis (Greece).

Hydrogel composite membranes (HCMs) are used as novel mineralization platforms for the bioinspired synthesis of CaCO3 superstructures. A comprehensive statistical analysis of experimental results revealed quantitative relationships between crystallization conditions and crystal texture and the strong selectivity toward complex morphologies when monomers bearing carboxyl and hydroxyl groups are used together in the hydrogel synthesis in HCMs.

Solutions to the n-Laplace equation with a right-hand side f are considered. We exhibit the largest rearrangement-invariant space to which f has to belong for every local weak solution to be continuous. Moreover, we find the optimal modulus of continuity of solutions when f ranges in classes of rearrangement-invariant spaces, including Lorentz, Lorentz-Zygmund and various standard Orlicz spaces.

Background: Direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAA) regimen improve the SVR rate. However, adverse effects often lead to therapy interruption.
