Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are currently in everyone's mouth when talking about future technologies that will be implemented in the automotive industry. In the last years the IEEE group has been working in the ...

Changes in permafrost conditions in high mountain rocks have increased the risk of dangerous instabilities. Ice segregation within the rock mass has been interpreted as one of the mechanisms involved in high mountain bedrock ...

This paper describes a Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) procedure to monitor the land deformation in an urban area induced by aquifer dewatering and the consequent drawdown of the water table. The procedure, based ...

A cidade é constituída por uma multiplicidade de elementos urbanos, criados e sucessivamente reinterpretados em diferentes épocas. Estes elementos sobrepõem-se uns aos outros no espaço e no tempo, em continuidade ou em ...

The rst part of the XX century saw the development of the digital computer and the eld of computer science. In the present paper, we sketch our vision of that period and of the role that Alan Turing and some of his ...

We prove some interior regularity results for potential functions of optimal transportation problems with power costs. The main point is that our problem is equivalent to a new optimal transportation problem whose cost ...

A new methodology for the pH-triggered degradation of polymers or for therelease of drugs under visible light irradiation based on the cyclization ofortho-hydroxy-cinnamates (oHC) to coumarins is described. The keyoHCstructural ...

A phase-field model is proposed for the coupled simulation of microstructure and fracture evolution in ferroelectric materials. The model is based on energetic phase-field approaches for brittle fracture and ferroelectric ...

A phase-field theory of brittle fracture in elastoplastic solids hosting mobile interstitial solute species is developed in this paper. The theory, which is formulated within the framework of modern continuum mechanics, ...
