A modeling framework for impact assessment of urban transport systems

An integrated software tool environment is presented, and a methodology is proposed for the operational support of the local authority, for analysis of the impact of transport measures in terms of network energy consumption and pollutant emissions. It is based on work done by the European Union…

Bayesian Decision Theoretic Scale-Adaptive Estimation of a Log-Spectral Density

The "Lost Guardians" of Dante's Inferno: Medium Wave Infrared Imaging Investigations of a XIV Century Illuminated Manuscript

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…

Directional change of tracer trajectories in rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection

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…

Infrared atmospheric sounding interferometer performance for temperature and water vapour retrieval

Remote sensing of atmosphere is changing rapidly thanks to the development of high spectral resolution infrared space-born sensors. The aim is to provide more and more accurate information on the lower atmosphere, as requested by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), to improve reliability…

Paramagnetism-Based NMR Restraints Provide Maximum Allowed Probabilities for the Different Conformations of Partially Independent Protein Domains

An innovative analytical/computational approach is presented to provide maximum allowed probabilities (MAPs) of conformations in protein domains not rigidly connected. The approach is applied to calmodulin and to its adduct with R-synuclein. Calmodulin is a protein constituted by two rigid domains…

A hybrid modified-NSGA-II VNS algorithm for the Multi-Objective Critical Disruption Path Problem

This paper considers a Multiple Objective variant of the Critical Disruption Path problem to extend its suitability in a range of security operations relying on path-based network interdiction, including flight pattern optimisation for surveillance. Given a pair of nodes s and t from the network to…

Non-locality and viscous drag effects on the shear localisation in soft-glassy materials

We study the Couette flow of a quasi-2d soft-glassy material in a Hele-Shaw geometry. The material is chosen to be above the jamming point, where a yield stress sigma(Upsilon) emerges, below which the material deforms elastically and above which it flows like a complex fluid according to a Herschel…

Spatio-temporal constraints for emissivity and surface temperature retrieval: Preliminary results and comparisons for SEVIRI and IASI observation

A continuum-discrete model for supply chains dynamics

This paper is focused on continuum-discrete models for supply chains. In particular, we consider the model introduced in [ ], where a system of conservation laws describe the evolution of the supply chain status on sub-chains, while at some nodes solutions are determined by Riemann solvers. Fixing…
