Extracting weights from edge directions to find communities in directed networks

Community structures are found to exist ubiquitously in real-world complex networks. We address here the problem of community detection in directed networks. Most of the previous literature ignores edge directions and applies methods designed for community detection in undirected networks, which…

The QR Steps with Perfect Shifts

In this paper we revisit the problem of performing a QR-step on an unreduced Hessenberg matrix H when we know an "exact" eigenvalue ?0 of H. Under exact arithmetic, this eigenvalue will appear on diagonal of the transformed Hessenberg matrix H~ and will be decoupled from the remaining part of the…

Parameter estimation tools for cardiovascular flow modeling of fetal circulation

Usually, clinicians assess the correct hemodynamic behavior and fetal wellbeing during the gestational age thanks to their professional expertise, with the support of some indices defined for Doppler fetal waveforms. Although this approach has demonstrated to be satisfactory in the most of the…

Lattice Boltzmann accelerated direct simulation Monte Carlo for dilute gas flow simulations

Hybrid particle-continuum computational frameworks permit the simulation of gas flows by locally adjusting the resolution to the degree of non-equilibrium displayed by the flow in different regions of space and time. In this work, we present a new scheme that couples the direct simulation Monte…

The impact of radiometric noise on the performance of the Radiation Explorer in the Far Infrared (REFIR)

REFIR is a Fourier Transform Spectrometer designed to measure the upwelling IR Earth's emission from space in the spectral range 100 to 1000 cm -1 with an unapodized spectral resolution of about 0.5 cm -1. One of the main scientific objectives of REFIR is to monitor the far IR planetary emission…

Corrosion detection in conducting boundaries II. Linearization, stability and discretization.

Nondestructive evaluation of hidden surface damage by means of stationary thermographic methods requires the construction of approximated solutions of a boundary identification problem for an elliptic equation. In this paper, we describe and test a regularized reconstruction algorithm based on the…

A technical characterization of APTs by leveraging public resources

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have rocketed over the last years. Unfortunately, their technical characterization is incomplete--it is still unclear if they are advanced usages of regular malware or a different form of malware. This is key to develop an effective cyberdefense. To address this…

Relative-observer definition of the Simon tensor

The definition of the Simon tensor, originally given only in Kerr spacetime and associated with the static family of observers, is generalized to any spacetime and to any possible observer family. Such generalization is obtained by a standard '3 + 1' splitting of the Bianchi identities, which are…
