We study the linear post-Newtonian approximation to general relativity
known as gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM); in particular, we examine the
similarities and differences between GEM and electrodynamics.
Notwithstanding some significant differences between them, we find that a special nonstationary… |

The Wigner rotations arising from the combination of boosts along two different directions arc rederived from a relative boost point of view and applied to study gyroscope spin precession along timelike geodesics in a Kerr spacetime. First this helps to clarify the geometrical properties of Marck's… |

The problem of diurnal variation in surface emissivity over the Sahara Desert during non-raining days is studied and assessed with observations from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI). The analysis has been performed over a Sahara Desert dune target area during July 2010.… |

Many real life problems can be represented by an ordered sequence of digital images. At a given pixel a specific time course is observed which is morphologically related to the time courses at neighbor pixels. Useful information can be usually extracted from a set of such observations if we are… |

This paper introduces a dominance test that allows to determine whether or not a financial institution can be classified as being more systemically important than another in a multivariate framework. The dominance test relies on a new risk measure, the NetCoVaR that is specifically tailored to… |

The equatorial motion of extended bodies in a Kerr spacetime is investigated in the framework of the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon model, including the full set of effective components of the quadrupole tensor. The numerical integration of the associated equations shows the specific role of the mass… |

We present a numerical study of two-dimensional turbulent flows in the enstropy cascade regime, with different large-scale energy sinks. In particular, we study the statistics of more-than-differentiable velocity fluctuations by means of two sets of statistical estimators, namely inverse statistics… |

We present a polar coordinate lattice Boltzmann kinetic model for compressible flows. A method to recover the continuum distribution function from the discrete distribution function is indicated. Within the model, a hybrid scheme being similar to, but different from, the operator splitting is… |
