Vacuum C-Metric and the Gravitational Stark Effect

Towards EXtreme scale technologies and accelerators for euROhpc hw/Sw supercomputing applications for exascale: The TEXTAROSSA approach

In the near future, Exascale systems will need to bridge three technology gaps to achieve high performance while remaining under tight power constraints: energy efficiency and thermal control; extreme computation efficiency via HW acceleration and new arithmetic; methods and tools for seamless…

Particle-based modeling of living actin filaments in an optical trap

We report a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation study of a bundle of parallel actin filaments under supercritical conditions pressing against a loaded mobile wall using a particle-based approach where each particle represents an actin unit. The filaments are grafted to a fixed wall at one…

Multifractal statistics of Lagrangian velocity and acceleration in turbulence

The statistical properties of velocity and acceleration fields along the trajectories of fluid particles transported by a fully developed turbulent flow are investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations. We present results for Lagrangian velocity structure functions, the…

The physical retrieval methodology for IASI: the delta-IASI code

This paper describes a physical-based methodology for the retrieval of geophysical parameters (temperature, water vapor and ozone) from highly resolved infrared radiance, and presents the algorithm which implements the procedure. The algorithm we have implemented is mostly intended for the Infrared…

Computational droplets: Where we stand and how far we can go

In this perspective we take stock of the current state of the art of computational models for droplets microfluidics and we suggest some strategies which may open the way to the full-scale simulation of microfluidic phenomena with interfaces, from near-contact interactions to the device operational…

Coupled RapidCell and lattice Boltzmann models to simulate hydrodynamics of bacterial transport in response to chemoattractant gradients in confined domains

The RapidCell (RC) model was originally developed to simulate flagellar bacterial chemotaxis in environments with spatiotemporally varying chemoattractant gradients. RC is best suited for motility simulations in unbounded nonfluid environments; this limits its use in biomedical applications hinging…

Resampling hierarchical processes in the wavelet domain: A case study using atmospheric turbulence

There is a growing need for statistical methods that generate an ensemble of plausible realizations of a hierarchical process from a single run or experiment. The main challenge is how to construct such an ensemble in a manner that preserves the internal dynamics (e.g. intermittency) and temporal…

Safety Controls and application to the Dubin’s car

We consider a coperative control approach to address safety and optimality issues for simple model of a car-like robot. The approach makes use of optimal syntheses and Krasovskii solutions to discontinuous ODEs.

Fractional p-eigenvalues

We discuss some basic properties of the eigenfunctions of a class of nonlocal operators whose model is the fractional p-Laplacian
