We study the response to shear deformations of packings long spherocylindrical particles that interact via frictional forces with friction coefficient $\mu$. The are produced and deformed help molecular dynamics simulations combined minimization techniques performed on a GPU. calculate linear modulus $g_\infty$, which is orders magnitude larger than $g_0$ in corresponding frictionless system. m...

Abstract This paper analyzes the impact of Italian Start Up Act which entered into force in October 2012. public policy provides a unique bundle benefits, such as tax incentives, loan guarantees, and more flexible labor law, for firms registered “innovative startups” Italy. legislation has been implemented by government to increase innovativeness small young enterprises facilitating access (ext...

Akin type (asymmetric) reverse osmosis membranes undergo an irreversible osmotic dehydration upon coming into contact (skin side) with salt solutions. The extent of consequent changes (in appearance; decrease in linear dimension, water flux and salt rejection) are dependent on the salt concentration. These observations are correlated with the expected morphological changes taking place duri...
