An On-line Algorithm for the Rectangle Packing Problem with Rejection

In this paper an on-line algorithm for the Rectangle Packing Problem is presented. The method is designed to be able to accept or reject incoming boxes to maximize efficiency. We provide a wide computational analysis showing the behavior of the proposed algorithm as well as a comparison with…

Einstein, Planck and Vera Rubin: Relevant Encounters Between the Cosmological and the Quantum Worlds

In Cosmology and in Fundamental Physics there is a crucial question like: where the elusive substance that we call Dark Matter is hidden in the Universe and what is it made of? that, even after 40 years from the Vera Rubin seminal discovery [1] does not have a proper answer. Actually, the more we…

Clathrate structure-type recognition: Application to hydrate nucleation and crystallisation

For clathrate-hydrate polymorphic structure-type (sI versus sII), geometric recognition criteria have been developed and validated. These are applied to the study of the rich interplay and development of both sI and sII motifs in a variety of hydrate-nucleation events for methane and H2S hydrate…

Wavelet Shrinkage Approaches to Baseline Signal Estimation from Repeated Noisy Measurements

We consider the problem of estimating the baseline signal from repeated noisy measurements taken on some object or individual of interest whose response is not fixed. We devise some wavelet shrinkage schemes to efficiently address the baseline signal estimation problem, adapting some well-known…

Boundedness of the global error of some linear and nonlinear methods for Volterra integral equations.

Minimising movements for the motion of discrete screw dislocations along glide directions

In Alicandro et al. (J Mech Phys Solids 92:87-104, 2016) a simple discrete scheme for the motion of screw dislocations toward low energy configurations has been proposed. There, a formal limit of such a scheme, as the lattice spacing and the time step tend to zero, has been described. The limiting…

Statistical regularities in the rank-citation profile of scientists

Recent science of science research shows that scientific impact measures for journals and individual articles have quantifiable regularities across both time and discipline. However, little is known about the scientific impact distribution at the scale of an individual scientist. We analyze the…

Higher integrability of the gradient and dimension of the singular set for minimisers of the Mumford-Shah functional

Neural oscillations track natural but not artificial fast speech: Novel insights from speech-brain coupling using MEG

Neural oscillations contribute to speech parsing via cortical tracking of hierarchical linguistic structures, including syllable rate. While the properties of neural entrainment have been largely probed with speech stimuli at either normal or artificially accelerated rates, the important case of…
