Exploiting the topographic information in a PDM-based conceptual hydrological model
2014
In this work, a conceptual lumped model was developed to simulate runoff and analyze hydrological processes with the goal of incorporating the morphological information into a probability-distributed model (PDM). PDMs usually describe the process of runoff generation as the result of soil saturation excess caused by precipitation with soil storage capacity represented by a spatially distributed quantity and described by a probability distribution. The proposed model, called topography-based probability distributed model (TOPDM), based on a simple water balance whose components are basin soil moisture storage, precipitation, drainage to groundwater, evapotranspiration, and Dunnian and Horton…
Negative and positive feedback from a supernova remnant with SHREC
2022
Supernova remnants (SNRs) contribute to regulate the star formation efficiency and evolution of galaxies. As they expand into the interstellar medium (ISM), they transfer vast amounts of energy and momentum that displace, compress and heat the surrounding material. Despite the extensive work in galaxy evolution models, it remains to be observationally validated to what extent the molecular ISM is affected by the interaction with SNRs. We use the first results of the ESO-ARO Public Spectroscopic Survey SHREC, to investigate the shock interaction between the SNR IC443 and the nearby molecular clump G. We use high sensitivity SiO(2-1) and H$^{13}$CO$^+$(1-0) maps obtained by SHREC together wit…
Large deep-seated slump structure off Ischia volcanic island, Eastern Tyrrhenian sea (Italy)
2012
Ischia island is located over the Campania sector of Eastern Tyrrhenian margin and represents the sub-aerial section of a larger, E-W trending volcanic ridge including others submerged or buried volcanic edifices. The island itself result from the coalescence of a multitude of small to medium scale eruptions leading to the emplacement of domes, lava flow and pyroclastic deposits and ignimbrites (VEZZOLI et al., 1988) ranging from alkali basalts to trachytes. The oldest basement dates back to 150 ky and crops out along the perimeter of the island especially to the south. Latest eruption occurred in 1302 A.D. and together with strong hydrothermal activity, ground uplift and seismic shaking in…
Families of rational solutions to the KPI equation of order 7 depending on 12 parameters
2017
International audience; We construct in this paper, rational solutions as a quotient of two determinants of order 2N = 14 and we obtain what we call solutions of order N = 7 to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation (KPI) as a quotient of 2 polynomials of degree 112 in x, y and t depending on 12 parameters. The maximum of modulus of these solutions at order 7 is equal to 2(2N + 1)2= 450. We make the study of the patterns of their modulus in the plane (x, y) and their evolution according to time and parameters a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6. When all these parameters grow, triangle and ring structures are obtained.

Multi-lump solutions to the KPI equation with a zero degree of derivation
2022
We construct solutions to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation (KPI) by using an extended Darboux transform. From elementary functions we give a method that provides different types of solutions in terms of wronskians of order N. For a given order, these solutions depend on the degree of summation and the degree of derivation of the generating functions.In this study, we restrict ourselves to the case where the degree of derivation is equal to 0. In this case, we obtain multi-lump solutions and we study the patterns of their modulus in the plane (x,y) and their evolution according time and parameters.
Modeling Right Ventricle Failure After Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device: A Biventricular Finite-Element and Lumped-Parameter Analysis
2017
The risk of right ventricle (RV) failure remains a major contraindication for continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) implantation in patients with heart failure. It is therefore critical to identify the patients who will benefit from early intervention to avoid adverse outcomes. We sought to advance the computational modeling description of the mechanisms underlying RV failure in LVAD-supported patients. RV failure was studied by computational modeling of hemodynamic and cardiac mechanics using lumped-parameter and biventricular finite element (FE) analysis. Findings were validated by comparison of bi-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiographic strain assessment of the …
A beam element allowing multiple slope discontinuities for RC structures: An application
2018
A beam/column element allowing the formation of multiple plastic hinges in columns or beams of a reinforced concrete (RC) framed structure is used in this work to show, through an application, its advantages with respect to conventional lumped plasticity models. Slope discontinuities can be located at any position of an Euler-Bernoulli beam span and not at the two extremes only. The model is in fact written in the framework of a modified lumped plasticity theory, and respectful of a thermodynamic approach. Flow rules and state equations are derived invoking the Theorem of maximum dissipation and using a Bresler's type activation domain. The beam element has already been implemented in a res…
Fredholm representations of solutions to the KPI equation, their wronkian versions and rogue waves
2016
We construct solutions to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation (KPI) in terms of Fredholm determinants. We deduce solutions written as a quotient of wronskians of order 2N. These solutions called solutions of order N depend on 2N − 1 parameters. When one of these parameters tends to zero, we obtain N order rational solutions expressed as a quotient of two polynomials of degree 2N (N + 1) in x, y and t depending on 2N − 2 parameters. So we get with this method an infinite hierarchy of solutions to the KPI equation.
