Altered brain criticality in Schizophrenia: New insights from MEG

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…

The role of long distance contribution to the B->K(*)l+l- in the Standard Model

We investigate rare semileptonic B->K*l+l- by looking at the long distance contributions. Our analysis is limited to the very small values of physical accessible range of invariant mass of the leptonic couple q2. We show that the light quarks loop has to be accounted for, along with the charming…

Numerical assessment of a subglacial lake at Svalbard, Spitzbergen

The likelihood of a subglacial lake beneath Amundsenisen Plateau at Southern Spitzbergen, Svalbard, pointed out by the flat signal within the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) remote survey of the area, is justified, here, via numerical simulation. This investigation has been developed under the…

Automatic coarsening in Algebraic Multigrid utilizing quality measures for matching-based aggregations Pasqua D'Ambra, Fabio Durastante, Salvatore Filippone, Ludmil Zikatanov

In this paper, we discuss the convergence of an Algebraic MultiGrid (AMG) method for general symmetric positive-definite matrices. The method relies on an aggregation algorithm, named coarsening based on compatible weighted matching, which exploits the interplay between the principle of compatible…

(Real-Time) Embedded (ELF band) FSK-PSK Demodulator based on Hilbert Transform

This paper describes a signal processing application an embedded hardware platform, based on Hilbert transform method for demodulation of digital signals.

Evaluating the impact of increasing temperatures on changes in Soil Organic Carbon stocks: sensitivity analysis and non-standard discrete approximation

A novel model is here introduced for theSOC change indexdefinedas the normalized difference between the actual Soil Organic Carbon and thevalue assumed at an initial reference year. It is tailored on the RothC carbonmodel dynamics and assumes as baseline the value of the SOC…
