We study numerically the effect of thermal fluctuations and of variable fluid-substrate interactions on the spontaneous dewetting of thin liquid films. To this aim, we use a recently developed lattice Boltzmann method for thin liquid film flows, equipped with a properly devised stochastic term.… |

A sharp integrability condition on the right-hand side of the p-Laplace system for all its solutions
to be continuous is exhibited. Their uniform continuity is also analyzed and estimates for their modulus
of continuity are provided. The relevant estimates are shown to be optimal as the right-hand… |

Accurate quantitation of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) signals is an essential step before converting the estimated
signal parameters, such as frequencies, damping factors, and amplitudes, into biochemical quantities (concentration, pH). Several
subspace-based parameter estimators have been… |

We present a simple model describing the chemical aggression undergone by calcium carbonate rocks in presence of acid atmosphere. A large literature is available on the deterioration processes of building stones, in particular in connection with problems concerning historical buildings in the field… |

The turning circle manoeuvre of a naval supply vessel (characterized by a block coefficient <sup>CB</sup>~0.60) is simulated by the integration of the unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes equations coupled with the equations of rigid body motion with six degrees of freedom. The… |

Motivated by the recent outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19), we propose a stochastic model of epidemic temporal growth and mitigation based on a time-modulated Hawkes process. The model is sufficiently rich to incorporate specific characteristics of the novel coronavirus, to capture the impact of… |

The formation of methane-hydrate precursors at large planar water-methane interfaces has been studied using massively parallel molecular dynamics in systems of varying size from around 10 000 to almost 7 x 10(6) molecules. This process took two distinct steps. First, the concentration of solvated… |
