The effect of agglomeration economies and geography on the survival of accommodation businesses in Sicily
2021
The study explores the geographical pattern of the accommodation industry in the Italian insular region of Sicily, focusing on the determinants of the risk of market exit. We adopt a standard framework of business survival analysis where agglomeration economies play an important role. We then extend the analysis by considering the role of geography to explore whether the risk of market exit depends on nearness to desirable amenities. The geography is here measured by the distance from the coast and the altitude of the place where the firm is located. When we look at the entire population of accommodation firms that started between 2010 and 2014, we find evidence that the risk of failure inc…

Earth system data cubes unravel global multivariate dynamics
2020
Understanding Earth system dynamics in light of ongoing human intervention and dependency remains a major scientific challenge. The unprecedented availability of data streams describing different facets of the Earth now offers fundamentally new avenues to address this quest. However, several practical hurdles, especially the lack of data interoperability, limit the joint potential of these data streams. Today, many initiatives within and beyond the Earth system sciences are exploring new approaches to overcome these hurdles and meet the growing interdisciplinary need for data-intensive research; using data cubes is one promising avenue. Here, we introduce the concept of Earth system data cu…
How Universal Is the Relationship between Remotely Sensed Vegetation Indices and Crop Leaf Area Index? A Global Assessment
2016
This study aims to assess the relationship between Leaf Area Index (LAI) and remotely sensed Vegetation Indices (VIs) for major crops, based on a globally explicit dataset of in situ LAI measurements over a significant set of locations. We used a total of 1394 LAI measurements from 29 sites spanning 4 continents and covering 15 crop types with corresponding Landsat satellite images. Best-fit functions for the LAI-VI relationships were generated and assessed in terms of crop type, vegetation index, level of radiometric/atmospheric processing, method of LAI measurement, as well as the time difference between LAI measurements and satellite overpass. These global LAI-VI relationships were evalu…
Supervised Classifications of Optical Water Types in Spanish Inland Waters
2022
Remote sensing of lake water quality assumes there is no universal method or algorithm that can be applied in a general way on all inland waters, which usually have different in-water components affecting their optical properties. Depending on the place and time of year, the lake dynamics, and the particular components of the water, non-tailor-designed algorithms can lead to large errors or lags in the quantification of the water quality parameters, such as the suspended mineral sediments, dissolved organic matter, and chlorophyll-a concentration. Selecting the most suitable algorithm for each type of water is not a simple matter. One way to make selecting the most suitable water quality al…
Rank two aCM bundles on the del Pezzo fourfold of degree 6 and its general hyperplane section
2018
International audience; In the present paper we completely classify locally free sheaves of rank 2 with vanishing intermediate cohomology modules on the image of the Segre embedding $\mathbb{P}^2$ x $\mathbb{P}^2 \subseteq \mathbb{P}^8$ and its general hyperplane sections.Such a classification extends similar already known results regarding del Pezzo varieties with Picard numbers 1 and 3 and dimension at least 3.
Complex powers of elliptic pseudodifferential operators
1986
The aim of this paper is the construction of complex powers of elliptic pseudodifferential operators and the study of the analytic properties of the corresponding kernels kS (x,y). For x=y, the case of principal interest, the domain of holomorphy and the singularities of kS (x,x) are shown to depend on the asymptotic expansion of the symbol. For classical symbols, kS (x,x) is known to be meromorphic on ℂ with simple poles in a set of equidistant points on the real axis. In the more general cases considered here, the singularities may be distributed over a half plane and kS (x,x) can not always be extended to337-2. An example is given where kS (x,x) has a vertical line as natural boundary.
On some Translation Planes Admitting a Frobenius Group of Collineations
1983
Publisher Summary This chapter presents some results concerning translation planes of dimension 2 over GF(q), where q = p r . π denotes such a plane. It is assumed that π has a collineation group F of order q 2 (q-1) satisfying the condition: there exists a point V e l ∞ such that F fixes V and acts (faithfully) as a Frobenius group on l ∞ – {V}.
On the derived category of the Cayley plane II
2014
We find a full strongly exceptional collection for the Cayley plane OP2, the simplest rational homogeneous space of the exceptional group E6. This collection, closely related to the one given by the second author in [J. Algebra, 330:177-187, 2011], consists of 27 vector bundles which are homogeneous for the group E6, and is a Lefschetz collection with respect to the minimal equivariant embedding of OP2.
Continuity of solutions of linear, degenerate elliptic equations
2009
We consider the simplest form of a second order, linear, degenerate, divergence structure equation in the plane. Under an integrability condition on the degenerate function, we prove that the solutions are continuous.
