Switchable and adaptive substrates emerged as valuable tools for the control of wetting and actuation of droplet motion. Here we report a computational study of the dynamics of an unstable thin liquid film deposited on a switchable substrate, modelled with a space and time varying contact angle. With a static pattern, all the fluid is drained into droplets located around contact angle minima, whereas for a sufficiently large rate of wettability variation a state consisting of metastable rivulets is observed.

FORUM (Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring) will flight as the 9th ESA's Earth Explorer mission, and an End-to-End Simulator (E2ES) has been developed as a support tool for the mission selection process and the subsequent development phases. The current status of the FORUM E2ES project is presented, together with the characterization of the capabilities of a full physics retrieval code applied to FORUM data.

In this paper we establish the higher differentiability of solutions to the Dirichlet problem {div(A(x,Du))+b(x)u(x)=fin?u=0on??under a Sobolev assumption on the partial map x-> A(x, ?). The novelty here is that we take advantage from the regularizing effect of the lower order term to deal with bounded solutions.

Meditation practices have been claimed to have a positive effect on the regulation of mood and emotions for quite some time by practitioners, and in recent times there has been a sustained effort to provide a more precise description of the influence of meditation on the human brain. Longitudinal studies have reported morphological changes in cortical thickness and volume in selected brain regions due to meditation practice, which is interpreted as an evidence its effectiveness beyond the subjective self reporting.

In this paper we establish an higher integrability result for second derivatives of the local solution of elliptic equation div(A(x,Du))=0in?where ? ? R, n>= 2 and A(x, ?) has linear growth with respect to ? variable. Concerning the dependence on the x-variable, we shall assume that, for the map x-> A(x, ?) , there exists a non negative function k(x), such that |DxA(x,?)|?k(x)(1+|?|)for every ?? R and a.e. x? ?. It is well known that there exists a relationship between this condition and the regularity of the solutions of the equation.

The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) measured the middle-infrared limb emission spectrum of the atmosphere from 2002 to 2012 on board ENVISAT, a polar-orbiting satellite. Recently, the European Space Agency (ESA) completed the final reprocessing of MIPAS measurements, using version 8 of the level 1 and level 2 processors, which include more accurate models, processing strategies, and auxiliary data. The list of retrieved gases has been extended, and it now includes a number of new species with weak emission features in the MIPAS spectral range.

We present an all-around study of the visitors flow in crowded museums: a combination of Lagrangian field measurements and statistical analyses enable us to create stochastic digital-twins of the guest dynamics, unlocking comfort- and safety-driven optimizations. Our case study is the Galleria Borghese museum in Rome (Italy), in which we performed a real-life data acquisition campaign.

MagnetoEncephaloGraphy (MEG) and ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG) are the most common non-invasive brain imaging techniques for monitoring the electrical brain activity with millisecond resolution. Due to their high, millisecond, temporal resolution, these techniques are also the most suitable for studying the dynamic interplay of between brain regions during information processing. In clinical settings, MEG and EEG are valuable methods for the pre-surgical evaluation of patients with pharmaco-resistant epilepsy.

Schizophrenia has a complex etiology and symptomatology that is difficult to untangle. After decades of research, important advancements towards a central biomarker are still lacking. One of the missing pieces is a better understanding of how non-linear neural dynamics are altered in this patient population. In this study, the resting-state neuromagnetic signals of schizophrenia patients and healthy controls were analyzed in the framework of criticality.
