We present a mesoscopic model, based on the Boltzmann equation, for the interaction between a solid wall and a nonideal fluid. We present an analytic derivation of the contact angle in terms of the surface tension between the liquid-gas, the liquid-solid, and the gas-solid phases. We study the… |

We present the first analytical computation of the (conservative) gravitational self-force correction to the periastron advance around a spinning black hole. Our result is accurate to the second order in the rotational parameter and through the 9.5 post-Newtonian level. It has been obtained as the… |

The problem of ship manoeuvrability has reached nowadays a significant consideration, both for merchant ships, with the adoption of IMO standards, and naval ships, with the production of various documents by NATO Specialist Teams. In literature many works regarding manoeuvrability of single screw… |

We consider a thin metallic plate whose top side is inaccessible
and in contact with a corroding fluid.
Heat exchange between metal and fluid follows
linear Newton's cooling law as long as the inaccessible side is not damaged.
We assume that the effects of corrosion are modeled by means
of a… |

We introduce a multi-platform portable implementation of the NonLocal Means methodology aimed at noise removal from remotely sensed images. It is particularly suited for hyperspectral sensors for which real-time applications are not possible with only CPU based algorithms. In the last decades… |

With road traffic in Europe forecast to increase, strategies are needed to keep transportation sector growth within the bounds imposed by a sustainable development. Research is contributing through a large number of projects dealing with transport-environment interactions. This paper reviews… |

A simple and efficient numerical method for solving the advection equation on the spherical surface is presented. To overcome the well-known pole problem related to the polar singularity of spherical
coordinates, the space discretization is performed on a geodesic grid derived by a uniform… |

The use of Euler polynomials and Euler numbers allows us to construct a quadrature rule similar to the well-known Euler--MacLaurin quadrature formula, using Euler (instead of Bernoulli) numbers, and even (instead of odd) order derivatives of a given function evaluated at the extrema of the… |

The Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) has 8461 potential channels to be exploited for inversions of geophysical parameters. In this paper we analyse two different strategies for their reduction. The first one looks for suitable spectral ranges where the inverse problem is as… |
