Kinetic approach to relativistic dissipation

Despite a long record of intense effort, the basic mechanisms by which dissipation emerges from the microscopic dynamics of a relativistic fluid still elude complete understanding. In particular, several details must still be finalized in the pathway from kinetic theory to hydrodynamics mainly in…

Particle dynamics and deviation effects in the field of a strong electromagnetic wave

Some strong field effects on test particle motion associated with the propagation of a plane electromagnetic wave in the exact theory of general relativity are investigated. Two different profiles of the associated radiation flux are considered in comparison, corresponding to either constant or…

Plasma HIV RNA decline and drug resistance evolution among patients with multiple virologic failures receiving resistance testing-guided HAART

A resting state EEG study on depressed persons with suicidal ideation

Background: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a psychiatric illness that is often associated with potentially life -threatening physiological changes and increased risk for suicidal behavior. Electroencephalography (EEG) research suggests an association between depression and specific frequency…

A "pay-how-you-drive" car insurance approach through cluster analysis

As discussed in the recent literature, several innovative car insurance concepts are proposed in order to gain advantages both for insurance companies and for drivers. In this context, the "pay-how-you-drive" paradigm is emerging, but it is not thoroughly discussed and much less implemented. In…

Lattice Boltzmann method as a computational framework for multiscale haemodynamics

Recent developments of the lattice Boltzmann method for large-scale haemodynamic applications are presented, with special focus on multiscale aspects, including the self-consistent dynamics of suspended biological bodies and their coupling to surface structures, such as the glycocalyx, in the…

Nanoflows through disordered media: A joint lattice Boltzmann and molecular dynamics investigation

Reflection of internal gravity waves in the form of quasi-axisymmetric beams

Preservation of the angle of reflection when an internal gravity wave hits a sloping boundary generates a focusing mechanism if the angle between the direction of propagation of the incident wave and the horizontal is close to the slope inclination (near-critical reflection). This paper provides an…

Generation of Persistent Scatterers in Non-Urban Areas: The Role of Microwave Scattering Parameters

In this work, we study the capability of the ground surface to generate Persistent Scatterers (PS) based on the lithology, slope and aspect angles. These properties affect the scattering behavior of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signal, the interferometric phase stability and, as a consequence…
