We study Weitzenböck's torsion and discuss its properties. Specifically, we calculate the measured components of Weitzenböck's torsion tensor for a frame field adapted to static observers in a Fermi normal coordinate system that we establish along the world line of an arbitrary accelerated observer… |

Clustering is one of the most important unsupervised learning problems and it deals with finding a structure in a collection of unlabeled data; however, different clustering algorithms applied to the same data-set produce different solutions. In many applications the problem of multiple solutions… |

The speciality index function ${\mathcal S}$ for any Petrov type I, II or D spacetime
is shown to be a natural function of a single complex scalar quantity $\mu$ (natural modulo permutation symmetries). For the family of Kasner spacetimes, this quantity is a function of the Kasner indices alone… |

We numerically study the translocation dynamics of double emulsion drops with multiple close-packed inner droplets within constrictions. Such liquid architectures, which we refer to as HIPdEs (high-internal phase double emulsions), consist of a ternary fluid, in which monodisperse droplets are… |

We examine spatially explicit models described by reaction-diffusion partial differential equations for the study of predator-prey population dynamics. The numerical methods we propose are based on the coupling of a finite difference/element spatial discretization and a suitable partitioned Runge-… |

We evaluate the modifications to the cosmic microwave background anisotropy spectrum that result from a semiclassical expansion of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. Recently, such an investigation in the case of a real scalar field coupled to gravity has led to the prediction that the power at large… |

We consider two-dimensional zero-temperature systems of N particles to which we associate an energy of the form E[V](X):=?1?i<j?NV(|X(i)-X(j)|),where X(j) ? R represents the position of the particle j and V(r) ? R is the pairwise interaction energy potential of two particles placed at distance r… |

The identification of the basic mechanisms responsible for cardiovascular diseases stands as one of the most challenging problems in modern medical research including various mechanisms which encompass a broad spectrum of space and time scales. Major implications for clinical practice and pre-… |

We describe the implementation of a thermal compressible Lattice Boltzmann algorithm on an NVIDIA Tesla C2050 system based on the Fermi GP-GPU. We consider two different versions, including and not including reactive effects. We describe the overall organization of the algorithm and give details on… |
