Abstract Earthquake focal mechanisms are helpful in analyzing seismotectonic features a specific area, as they can depict subsurface structures. mechanism solution result from the first polarity or moment tensor inversion method. The produce complete information of than However, procedure is slightly more complicated, for it based on waveform inversion. Several problems related to signal proces...

We are entering the age of learning systems! On the one hand, we are surrounded by devices that learn from our behavior [3]: household appliances, smart phones, wearables, cars, etc.—the most recent prominent example being Tesla Motor’s autopilot that learns from human drivers. On the other hand, man-made systems are becoming ever more complex, requiring us to learn the behavior of these system...

Marine geological maps of the Campania region have been constructed both to a 1:25.000 and 1:10.000 scale in frame research projects financed by Italian National Geological Survey, focusing, particular, on Gulf Naples (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea), complex volcanic area where sedimentary processes strongly interacted during Late Quaternary Cilento Promontory offshore. In this paper, examples sheets...

Temporal trends in the recovery of exploited species in marine protected areas (MPAs) are useful for a proper assessment of the efficacy of protection measures. The effects of protection on the fish assemblages of the sublittoral rocky reefs in the "Penisola del Sinis-Isola di Mal di Ventre" MPA (W. Sardinia, Italy) were evaluated using a multi-year series of data. Four surveys, conducted 7, 10...

This paper introduces a method for the identification of the parameters of nonlinear structures using a probabilistic Bayesian framework, employing a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. This approach uses analytical models to describe the unforced, undamped dynamic responses of structures in the frequency–amplitude domain, known fitted to measured responses, found using the resonant-decay metho...

In the past decade, active automata learning, an originally merely theoretical enterprise, got attention as a method for dealing with black-box or third party systems. Applications ranged from the support of formal verification, e.g. for assume guarantee reasoning [4], to usage of learned models as the basis for regression testing. In the meantime, a number of approaches exploiting active learn...

The historical record attests to the devastation malaria exacted on ancient civilizations, particularly the Roman Empire [1]. However, evidence for the presence of malaria during the Imperial period in Italy (1st-5th century CE) is based on indirect sources, such as historical, epigraphic, or skeletal evidence. Although these sources are crucial for revealing the context of this disease, they c...

A new continuationmethod, which applies a new homotopy that is a combination of the fixed-point and Newton homotopies (FPN), is developed for seeking all real solutions to a nonlinear equation, written as f(x) = 0, without having to specify a bounded interval. First, the equation to be solved is multiplied by (x− x0), where x0 is the starting value,which is set to zero unless the function does ...
