HYDROGEOLOGICAL RISK MANAGEMENT IN SMART CITIES: A NEW APPROACH TO RAINFALL CLASSIFICATION BASED ON LTE CELL SELECTION PARAMETERS

Hydrogeological Risk Management in Smart Cities: A New Approach to Rainfall Classification Based on LTE Cell Selection Parameters

The sudden climate change, that has taken place in recent years, has generated calamitous phenomena linked to hydrogeological instability in many areas of the world.An accurate estimate of rainfall levels is fundamental in smart city application scenarios: it becomes essential to be able to warn of the imminent occurrence of a calamitous event and

Maier-Saupe nematogenic fluid: field theoretical approach

We adopt a field theoretical approach to study the structure and thermodynamics of a homogeneous Maier-Saupe nematogenic fluid interacting with anisotropic Yukawa potential.In the mean field approximation we retrieve the standard Maier-Saupe theory for liquid crystals.In this theory the density is expressed via the second order Legendre polynomial

Evasion by stealth: inefficient immune activation underlies poor T cell response and severe disease in SARS-CoV-infected mice.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome caused substantial morbidity and mortality during the 2002-2003 epidemic.Many of the features of the human disease are duplicated in BALB/c mice infected with a mouse-adapted version of the virus (MA15), which develop respiratory disease with high morbidity and mortality.Here, we show that severe disease is correla
