In the Alboran Sea, west of Straits Gibraltar, pycnocline depth has been assessed from signature a Large Amplitude Internal Wave (LAIW) captured by Sensing Aperture Radar (SAR) image. First, coefficients extended Korteweg-deVriès model were expressed using two different models ocean stratification : an interfacial and continuously stratified model. Then, via Backscattering model, same Korteweg...

Next generation radio observatories such as the MWA, LWA, LOFAR, CARMA and SKA provide a number of challenges for interferometric data analysis. These challenges include heterogeneous arrays, direction-dependent instrumental gain, and refractive and scintillating atmospheric conditions. From the analysis perspective, this means that calibration solutions can not be described using a single comp...

The three CARD-containing MAGUK (CARMA) proteins function as scaffolding molecules that regulate activation of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor NF-κB. Recently, mutations in CARMA2 have been linked to psoriasis susceptibility due to their acquired altered capacity to activate NF-κB. By means of two-hybrid screening with yeast, we identified RING finger protein 7 (RNF7) as an interactor...

The vicinity of the supermassive black hole associated with the compact radio source Sagittarius (Sgr) A* is believed to dominate the observed emission at wavelengths near and shorter than ∼ 1 millimeter. We show that a general relativistic accretion flow, heated via the plasma wave heating mechanism, is consistent with the polarization and recent mm-VLBI observations of Sgr A* for an inclinati...

This paper introduces XTerm, a Termbase management system (TBMS) currently under development at the Terminology Center of the School for Interpreters and Translators of the University of Bologna. The system is designed to be ISO and XML compliant and to provide a friendly environment for the insertion and visualization of terminological data. It is also open to the future evolution of internati...

We report the availability of grcarma, a program encoding for a fully automated set of tasks aiming to simplify the analysis of molecular dynamics trajectories of biological macromolecules. It is a cross-platform, Perl/Tk-based front-end to the program carma and is designed to facilitate the needs of the novice as well as those of the expert user, while at the same time maintaining a user-frien...

A model that tackles the Multiple Object Manipulation task computationally solves a higly complex cognitive task. It needs to learn how to identify and predict the dynamics of various physical objects in different contexts in order to manipulate them. MOSAIC is a model based on the modularity hypothesis: it relies on multiple controllers, one for each object. In this paper we question this modu...

We describe a robust, fast, and memory-efficient procedure that can cluster millions of structures derived from molecular dynamics simulations. The essence of the method is based on a peakpicking algorithm applied to threeand five-dimensional distributions of the principal components derived from the trajectory and automatically supports both Cartesian and dihedral PCA-based clustering. The den...

High-performance computing (HPC) systems with hardware-reconfigurable devices have the potential to achieve major performance increases over parallel computing systems based solely on traditional processors. However, providing services upon which users of traditional HPC systems have come to depend is essential for largescale reconfigurable computing (RC) systems to become mainstream. Along wit...
