Modulation of Seismic Attenuation at Parkfield, Before and After the 2004 M6 Earthquake

The crack density within a fault's damage zone is thought to vary as seismic rupture is approached, as well as in the postseismic period. Moreover, external stress loads, seasonal or tidal, may also change the crack density in rocks, and all such processes can leave detectable signatures on seismic…

Analytic determination of high-order post-Newtonian self-force contributions to gravitational spin precession

Continuing our analytic computation of the first-order self-force contribution to the "geodetic" spin precession frequency of a small spinning body orbiting a large (nonspinning) body, we provide the exact expressions of the 10 and 10.5 post-Newtonian terms. We also introduce a new approach to the…

Nonlinear wave resistance of a two-dimensional pressure patch moving on a free surface

A model problem of the flow under an air-cushion vessel is studied. Two different numerical techniques are used to determine the solution of the free-surface elevation and the wave resistance for a range of Froude number, Reynolds number, value of the pressure applied in the cushion, and depth of…

Effect of an arbitrary spin orientation on the quadrupolar structure of an extended body in a Schwarzschild spacetime

The influence of an arbitrary spin orientation on the quadrupolar structure of an extended body moving in a Schwarzschild spacetime is investigated. The body dynamics is described by the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon model, without any restriction on the motion or simplifying assumption on the…

An adaptive domain-decomposition technique for parallelization of the Fast Marching method

Orbiting frames and satellite attitudes in relativistic astrometry

Space-born measuring devices require an accurate determination of the satellite rest frame. This frame consists of a clock and a triad of orthonormal axes which provide a local Cartesian reference system. The aim of this paper is to find the mathematical representation of this triad in two cases…

Easyreporting simplifies the implementation of Reproducible Research layers in R software

During last years "irreproducibility" became a general problem in omics data analysis due to the use of sophisticated and poorly described computational procedures. For avoiding misleading results, it is necessary to inspect and reproduce the entire data analysis as a unified product. Reproducible…

Beppo Levi attraverso i ricordi della figlia Emilia

Intervista alla figlia di Beppo Levi (Emilia Resta) in occasione dei 140 anni dalla sua nascita. Nel breve articolo di presentazione viene anche ricordato il fratello di Beppo Levi, Eugenio Elia noto e geniale matematico che ebbe breve vita immolata al fronte durante la Grande Guerra. All'interno…

A multiscale approach for modelling wave propagation in an arterial segment

A mathematical model of blood flow through an arterial vessel is presented and the wave propagation in it is studied numerically. Based on the assumption of long wavelength and small amplitude of the pressure waves, a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) differential model is adopted. It describes the non-…
