AVHRR is an imager flying on polar meteorological satellites that, due to its spatial resolution (about 1 km at Nadir view),
produces a huge amount of data. A method based on the wavelet packet transform is devised to compress AVHRR images. The
method is driven by the compression error (application… |

We present a deep learning-based object detection and object tracking algorithm to study droplet motion in dense microfluidic emulsions. The deep learning procedure is shown to correctly predict the droplets' shape and track their motion at competitive rates as compared to standard clustering… |

The inverse problem of MEG aims at estimating electromagnetic cerebral activity from measurements of the magnetic fields outside the head. After formulating the problem within the Bayesian framework, a hierarchical conditionally Gaussian prior model is introduced, including a physiologically… |

This paper presents a new mathematical model of vehicular traffic, based on the methods of the generalized kinetic theory, in which the space of microscopic states (position and speed) of the vehicles is genuinely discrete. While in the recent literature discrete-velocity kinetic models of car… |

Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) is one of the key indicators of land degradation. SOC positively affects soil functions with regard to habitats, biological diversity and soil fertility; therefore, a reduction in the SOC stock of soil results in degradation, and it may also have potential negative effects… |

We propose a numerical method to solve the Wigner equation in quantum systems of spinless, non-relativistic particles. The method uses a spectral decomposition into L-2(R-d) basis functions in momentum-space to obtain a system of first-order advection-reaction equations. The resulting equations are… |

Spectral emissivity is a key property of the Earth surface of which only very few measurements exist so far in the far-infrared (FIR) spectral region, even though recent work has shown its FIR contribution is important for accurate modelling of global climate. The European Space Agency's 9th Earth… |
