Applications and limitations of remote sensing for threat analysis in protected areas: inferring anthropic pressure from habitat and land cover impacts

Protected areas are continuously subjected to ecological change due to anthropic pressures. Analyses of changes in the extent and intensity of pressures over time are essential for adaptive management, yet such analyses are rarely conceptualized or performed in a well-defined, standardized way,…

Mathematical modelling of variable porosity coatings and dual drug release

The topic of controlled drug release has received much attention in recent years, for example in the design of tablets and in local drug delivery devices such as stents, transdermal patches, therapeutic contact lenses and orthopaedic implants. In recent years, we have developed a series of models…

A HYPERBOLIC SYSTEM OF CHEMOTAXIS ON NETWORK MODELING PHYSARUM DYNAMICS

Many studies have shown that Physarum polycephalum slime mold is able to find the shortest path in a maze. Here we study this behavior in a network, using a hyperbolic model of chemotaxis [1]. Suitable transmission and boundary conditions at each node are considered to mimic the behavior of such an…

A multi-origin and multi-destination orienteering problem to manage emergency situations

ThŒe emergencies management in industrial plants is an issue widely discussed in the literature and in the European legislative framework. Despite the large interest shown by the di‚erent actors involved in emergencies management, neither scienti€c nor in industrial €eld, have developed intelligent…

ESA Version 8 reprocessing of the 10 years of MIPAS on ENVISAT measurements

MIPAS is a Fourier Transform spectrometer that measured the atmospheric limb emission spectra in the middle infrared on board the ENVISAT satellite. These measurements allowed the global monitoring of the three-dimensional (latitude, longitude and altitude) distribution of concentrations of many…

A discrete time version for models of population dynamics in the presence of an infection

We present a set of difference equations which represents the discrete counterpart of a large class of continuous model concerning the dynamics of an infection in an organism or in a host population. The limiting behavior of the discrete model is studied and a threshold parameter playing the role…

Geosphere-biosphere interactions in European Protected Areas: a view from the H2020 ECOPOTENTIAL Project

The large H2020 project ECOPOTENTIAL (2015-2019, 47 partners, contributing to GEO and GEOSS http://www.ecopotential-project.eu/) is devoted to making best use of remote sensing and in situ data to improve future ecosystem benefits, adopting the view of ecosystems as one physical system with their…
