Table-top combined scanning X-ray small angle scattering and transmission microscopies of lipid vesicles dispersed in free-standing gel

A mm thick free-standing gel containing lipid vesicles made of 2-oleoyl-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) was studied by scanning Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and X-ray Transmission (XT) microscopies. Raster scanning relatively large volumes, besides reducing the risk of…

Cavitation inception of a van der Waals fluid at a sack-wall obstacle

Cavitation in a liquid moving past a constraint is numerically investigated by means of a free-energy lattice Boltzmann simulation based on the van der Waals equation of state. The fluid is streamed past an obstacle, and depending on the pressure drop between inlet and outlet, vapor formation…

Reduction of the vlf signal phase noise before earthquakes

In this paper we analyse temporal variations of the phase of a very low frequency (VLF) signal, used for the lower ionosphere monitoring, in periods around four earthquakes (EQs) with magnitude greater than 4. We provide two analyses in time and frequency domains. First, we analyse time evolution…

The contribution of PSInSAR interferometry to landslide hazard in weak rock-dominated areas

In the Grande da Pipa river basin, north of Lisbon, 64 % of the total number of landslides inventoried is totally or partially included in a lithological unit composed by marl, clay, and sandstone intercalation complex that is present in 58 % of the study area. The Persistent Scatterer synthetic…

Level 2 processor and auxiliary data for ESA Version 8 final fullmission analysis of MIPAS measurements on ENVISAT

High quality long-term data sets of altitude-resolved measurements of the atmospheric composition areimportant because they can be used both to study the evolu-tion of the atmosphere and as a benchmark for future mis-sions. For the final ESA reprocessing of MIPAS (MichelsonInterferometer for…

Numerical issues in computing the antitriangular factorization of symmetric indefinite matrices

An algorithm for computing the antitriangular factorization of symmetric matrices, relying only on orthogonal transformations, was recently proposed. The computed antitriangular form straightforwardly reveals the inertia of the matrix. A block version of the latter algorithm was described in a…
