The gravitational-wave signal from inspiralling neutron-star--neutron-star
(or black-hole--neutron-star) binaries will be influenced by tidal coupling
in the system. An important science goal in the gravitational-wave detection
of these systems is to obtain information about the equation of… |

We study the L^2 stability of a classical solution of the one-dimensional energy transport model for semiconductors on the whole rel line, under the assumption that the thermodynamic variables remain bounded. The solution converges asymptotically in time to a state in thermodynamic equilibrium. |

Community structure has been found to exist ubiquitously in many different kinds of real world complex networks. Most of the previous literature ignores edge directions and applies methods designed for community finding in undirected networks to find communities. Here, we address the problem of… |

A general methodology, which consists in deriving two-dimensional finite-difference schemes which involve numerical fluxes based on Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps (or Steklov-Poincare operators), is first recalled. Then, it is applied to several types of diffusion equations, some being weakly… |

We present a numerical study of two-particle dispersion from point sources in three-dimensional incompressible homogeneous and isotropic turbulence at Reynolds number Re?300. Tracer particles are emitted in bunches from localized sources smaller than the Kolmogorov scale. We report the first… |

We consider the testing problem in the mixed-effects functional
analysis of variance models. We develop asymptotically optimal
(minimax) testing procedures for testing the significance of
functional global trend and the functional fixed effects based on
the empirical wavelet coefficients of the… |

On the occasion of the 700th centenary of the death of Dante Alighieri, medium wave infrared imaging analysis of illuminations of the XIV-century code of the Divina Commedia (MS. 1102), hosted in the Biblioteca Angelica in Rome, was performed and discussed. The investigation was carried out by… |

The angle of directional change of tracer trajectories in rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection is studied as a function of the time increment tau between two instants of time along the trajectories, both experimentally and with direct numerical simulations. Our aim is to explore the geometrical… |

Vehicle routing and scheduling are two main issues in the hazardous material (hazmat) transportation problem. In this paper, we study the problem of managing a set of hazmat transportation requests in terms of hazmat shipment route selection and actual departure time definition. For each hazmat… |
