Direct numerical approximation of a continuous-time infinite horizon control problem, requires to recast the model as a discrete-time, finite-horizon control model. The quality of the optimization results can be heavily degraded if the discretization process does not take into account features of the original model to be preserved.

Detecting malware in mobile applications has become increasingly complex as malware developers turn to advanced techniques to hide or obfuscate malicious components. Alterdroid is a dynamic-analysis tool that compares the behavioral differences between an original app and numerous automatically generated versions of it containing carefully injected modifications.

A fast algorithm related to the generalized minimal residual algorithm (GMRES) is proposed to approximate solution of a nonlinear hypersingular integral equation arising in a crack problem. At first, a collocation method is proposed and developed in weighted Sobolev space. Then, the Newton-Kantorovjch method is used for solving the obtained system of nonlinear equations.

In the Grande da Pipa river basin, north of Lisbon, 64 % of the total number of landslides inventoried is totally or partially included in a lithological unit composed by marl, clay, and sandstone intercalation complex that is present in 58 % of the study area. The Persistent Scatterer synthetic aperture radar interferometry technique is applied to a data set of TerraSAR-X SAR images, from April of 2010 to March of 2011, firstly to the Laje-Salema test site and further exported to the Grande da Pipa river basin.

We present the first results of the new ORM v8, and analyse the effect of the modelling of the horizontal atmospheric variability of the AX-DX differences.

The aim of the present paper is the analysis of simplified boundary conditions to be used in numerical simulations, to take into account blockage effects for wind tunnel experiments of large scale wind tur- bines.

We describe the new precedence system which will be used in the ORM v8 to decide on the initial guess profiles

Modulated enhanced diffraction (MED) is a technique allowing the dynamic structural characterization of crystalline materials subjected to an external stimulus, which is particularly suited for in situ and operando structural investigations at synchrotron sources. Contributions from the (active) part of the crystal system that varies synchronously with the stimulus can be extracted by an offline analysis, which can only be applied in the case of periodic stimuli and linear system responses. In this paper a new decomposition approach based on multivariate analysis is proposed.

In this paper we deal with high oscillatory systems and numerical methods for the approximation of their solutions. Some classical schemes developed in the literature are recalled and a recent approach based on the expression of the oscillatory solution by means of the exponential map is considered. Moreover we introduce a new method based on the Cayley map and provide some numerical tests in order to compare the different approaches

The identification of the basic mechanisms responsible for cardiovascular diseases stands as one of the most challenging problems in modern medical research including various mechanisms which encompass a broad spectrum of space and time scales. Major implications for clinical practice and pre-emptive medicine rely on the onset and development of intraluminal thrombus in which effective clinical therapies require synthetic risk predictors/indicators capable of informing real-time decision-making protocols.
