A suspension of nanoparticles with very low volume fraction is found to assemble into a macroscopic cellular phase that is composed of particle-rich walls and particle-free voids under the collective influence of AC and DC voltages. Systematic study of this phase transition shows that it was the… |

The effects of compressibility on Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) are investigated by inspecting the interplay between thermodynamic and hydrodynamic nonequilibrium phenomena (TNE, HNE, respectively) via a discrete Boltzmann model. Two effective approaches are presented, one tracking the… |

We consider the Schrödinger operator -?+V for negative potentials V, on open sets with positive first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplacian. We show that the spectrum of -?+V is positive, provided that V is greater than a negative multiple of the logarithmic gradient of the solution to the Lane-… |

An application in cultural heritage is introduced. Wavelet decomposition and Neural Networks like virtual sensors are jointly
used to simulate physical and chemical measurements in specific locations of a monument. Virtual sensors, suitably trained and
tested, can substitute real sensors in… |

Cyber insurance is a rapidly developing area which draws more and more attention of practitioners and researchers. Insurance, an alternative way to deal with residual risks, was only recently applied to the cyber world. The immature cyber insurance market faces a number of unique challenges on the… |

Significant improvements in the computational performance of the lattice-Boltzmann (LB) model, coded in FORTRAN90, were achieved through application of enhancement techniques. Applied techniques include optimization of array memory layouts, data structure simplification, random number generation… |

An algorithm for computing the solution of indefinite least squares problems
and of indefinite least squares problems with equality constrained is presented.
Such problems arise when solving total least squares problems and in
H infinity-smoothing.
The proposed algorithm relies only on stable… |

In liquid crystal devices it is important to understand the physics underlying their switching between different states, which is usually achieved by applying or removing an electric field. Flow is known to be a key determinant of the timescales and pathways of the switching kinetics. Incorporating… |
