Todo el año es carnaval: tradiciones populares y contracultura en la Transición
2015
Resumen : El momento de generalizada experimentacion vital de los anos 70 y primeros 80 en el estado espanol tiende habitualmente a pensarse en terminos de “modernizacion” o “transicion a la democracia”, pero es tambien el momento en el que ciertos restos simbolicos de culturas rurales y tradicionales profundamente transformadas por la masiva emigracion campo-ciudad son rescatados por artistas de vanguardia y jovenes contraculturales. Propongo una contribucion al estudio de esta linea de reivindicacion de un poso cultural tradicional revisitado desde la vanguardia y la contracultura juvenil en la Transicion a traves de tres calas en instancias culturales diversas. Palabras Clave : Transicio…
Observation of Kuznetsov-Ma soliton dynamics in optical fibre
2012
International audience; The nonlinear Schro¨dinger equation (NLSE) is a central model of nonlinear science, applying to hydrodynamics, plasma physics, molecular biology and optics. The NLSE admits only few elementary analytic solutions, but one in particular describing a localized soliton on a finite background is of intense current interest in the context of understanding the physics of extreme waves. However, although the first solution of this type was the Kuznetzov-Ma (KM) soliton derived in 1977, there have in fact been no quantitative experiments confirming its validity. We report here novel experiments in optical fibre that confirm the KM soliton theory, completing an important serie…
Characterization of ellipsoids through an overdetermined boundary value problem of Monge–Ampère type
2014
Abstract The study of the optimal constant in an Hessian-type Sobolev inequality leads to a fully nonlinear boundary value problem, overdetermined with non-standard boundary conditions. We show that all the solutions have ellipsoidal symmetry. In the proof we use the maximum principle applied to a suitable auxiliary function in conjunction with an entropy estimate from affine curvature flow.
Fast vibrational configuration interaction using generalized curvilinear coordinates and self-consistent basis
2010
In this paper, we couple a numerical kinetic-energy operator approach to the direct-vibrational self-consistent field (VSCF)/vibrational configuration interaction (VCI) method for the calculation of vibrational anharmonic frequencies. By combining this with fast-VSCF, an efficient direct evaluation of the ab initio potential-energy surface (PES), we introduce a general formalism for the computation of vibrational bound states of molecular systems exhibiting large-amplitude motion such as methyl-group torsion. We validate our approach on an analytical two-dimensional model and apply it to the methanol molecule. We show that curvilinear coordinates lead to a significant improvement in the VSC…
An improved immersed boundary method for curvilinear grids
2009
Abstract In the present paper we propose an extension of the direct-forcing immersed boundary technique, recently developed and employed by Verzicco and co-authors [Fadlun EA, Verzicco R, Orlandi P, Mohd-Yusof J. Combined immersed-boundary finite-difference methods for three-dimensional complex flow simulations. J Comput Phys 2000;161:35–60; Verzicco R, Fatica M, Iaccarino G, Moin P, Khalighi B. Large eddy simulation of a road vehicle with drag-reduction devices. AIAA J 2002;40(12):2447–55; Cristallo A, Verzicco R.

Three-dimensional numerical simulations on wind- and tide-induced currents: The case of Augusta Harbour (Italy)
2014
The hydrodynamic circulation in the coastal area of the Augusta Bay (Italy), located in the eastern part of Sicily, is analysed. Due to the heavy contamination generated by the several chemical and petrochemical industries active in the zone, the harbour was declared a Contaminated Site of National Interest. To mitigate the risks connected with the industrial activities located near the harbour, it is important to analyse the hydrodynamic circulation in the coastal area. To perform such analysis, a parallel 3D numerical model is used to solve the Reynolds-averaged momentum and mass balance, employing the k-e turbulence model for the Reynolds stresses. The numerical model is parallelized usi…
Definition of a Model-Based Detector of Curvilinear Regions
2007
This paper describes a new approach for detection of curvilinear regions. These features detection can be useful for any matching based algorithm such as stereoscopic vision. Our detector is based on curvilinear structure model, defined observing the real world. Then, we propose a multi-scale search algorithm of curvilinear regions and we report some preliminary results.
Bifurcations of cuspidal loops
1997
A cuspidal loop for a planar vector field X consists of a homoclinic orbit through a singular point p, at which X has a nilpotent cusp. This is the simplest non-elementary singular cycle (or graphic) in the sense that its singularities are not elementary (i.e. hyperbolic or semihyperbolic). Cuspidal loops appear persistently in three-parameter families of planar vector fields. The bifurcation diagrams of unfoldings of cuspidal loops are studied here under mild genericity hypotheses: the singular point p is of Bogdanov - Takens type and the derivative of the first return map along the orbit is different from 1. An analytic and geometric method based on the blowing up for unfoldings is propos…
Response properties with explicitly correlated coupled-cluster methods using a Slater-type correlation factor and cusp conditions
2009
The recently proposed extension of the explicitly correlated coupled-cluster ansatz using cusp conditions [A. Kohn, J. Chem. Phys. 130, 104104 (2009)] is tested for suitability in the calculation of response properties. For this purpose, static and dynamic electrical properties up to ESHG hyperpolarizabilities as well as optical rotations have been computed within the CCSD(F12) model. It is shown that effectively converged correlation contributions can reliably be obtained using augmented quadruple zeta basis sets already. The ansatz is optionally equipped with an extension capable of reducing the one-electron basis set error. A further simplification of the method specific Lagrangian aimed…
Differential geometric LARS via cyclic coordinate descent method
2012
We address the problem of how to compute the coefficient path implicitly defined by the differential geometric LARS (dgLARS) method in a high-dimensional setting. Although the geometrical theory developed to define the dgLARS method does not need of the definition of a penalty function, we show that it is possible to develop a cyclic coordinate descent algorithm to compute the solution curve in a high-dimensional setting. Simulation studies show that the proposed algorithm is significantly faster than the prediction-corrector algorithm originally developed to compute the dgLARS solution curve.
