Gravitational-Wave Astronomy: Modelling, detection, and data analysis
2017
La detección directa de la primera señal de ondas gravitatorias, el 14 de Septiembre de 2015, puede considerarse uno de los mayores hitos científicos de todos los tiempos. No solo porque supone la confirmación de la última de las predicciones de la Teoría de la Relatividad General de Albert Einstein, sino porque anticipa una autentica revolución en el campo de las astrofísica, comparable a la producida con la invención del telescopio por Galileo Galilei en 1609. Este descubrimiento ha inaugurado un nuevo tipo de astronomía, la astronomía de ondas gravitatorias. Se abre así una nueva ventana al universo que permitirá el estudio de procesos físicos producidos en regiones no accesibles al espe…
Customer Value Framework and Recommendation Intention: The Moderating Role of Customer Characteristics in an Online Travel Community
2019
The aim of this study was to develop and test a model that examined the interactions among the customer value framework, recommendation intention and customer characteristics in an online travel community (OTC). Data were obtained using Amazon Mechanical Turk from 251 members of an OTC as a sample. The partial least squares method was used to analyse the data. We found that all the variables of the customer value framework, including functional value, hedonic value and social value, were positively related to recommendation intention. In addition, using multi-group analyses, the study found differences between how different customer segments perceive each of the value dimensions and their e…
Computation of flow velocity in gravel bed channels
2002
Accurate estimate of flow-velocity profile is of crucial importance both for scientific purposes and for solving numerous engineering problems that include, among others, sediment transport, contaminant transport, flow resistance evaluation. This paper presents a new empirical equation to represent the vertical velocity profile. The proposed equation is essentially a modified form of the well-known logarithm law of the wall and contains three parameters having a clear physical meaning. The applicability of the equation and its accuracy assessment for different hydraulic conditions, including non-uniform conditions, is verified by using experimental data obtained by different sources. The va…

Energy Drink Consumption Among Finnish Adolescents: Prevalence, Associated Background Factors, Individual Resources, and Family Factors.
2020
Objectives: Energy drink consumption among adolescents has become a notable global phenomenon, and has been associated with numerous negative health outcomes. In order to understand the popularity of energy drinks among adolescents, and to target interventions, it is important to identify the determinants underpinning consumption. Methods: The nationally representative data (cross-sectional) were drawn from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) surveys, conducted in 2014 and 2018, each comprising 13- and 15-year-old Finnish adolescents (n = 7405). Results: Weekly energy drink consumption increased among Finnish adolescents between 2014 (18.2%) and 2018 (24.4%), especially amon…
Origins of radiation-induced attenuation in pure-silica-core and Ge-doped optical fibers under pulsed x-ray irradiation
2020
We investigated the nature, optical properties, and decay kinetics of point defects causing large transient attenuation increase observed in silica-based optical fibers exposed to short duration and high-dose rate x-ray pulses. The transient radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) spectra of pure-silica-core (PSC), Ge-doped, F-doped, and Ge + F-doped optical fibers (OFs) were acquired after the ionizing pulse in the spectral range of [∼0.8–∼3.2] eV (∼1500–∼380 nm), from a few ms to several minutes after the pulse, at both room temperature (RT) and liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT). Comparing the fiber behavior at both temperatures better highlights the thermally unstable point defects contribut…
Il passaggio dalla scrittura all'oralità in ambito forense e giudiziario
2014
Nonostante la rigida codificazione che caratterizza il linguaggio giuridico nei suoi diversi generi testuali, in questo ambito si assiste quasi regolarmente a un passaggio del testo dalla scrittura all’oralità. E’ interessante notare, inoltre, che esiste una linea di ricerca finalizzata a rintracciare nel testo scritto il segno dell’oralità che investe la sua attuazione. Ma, soprattutto, in ambito forense si assiste al processo inverso per quei testi che dalla forma orale passano a quella scritta. In questo studio si dimostrerà lo stretto rapporto che intercorre tra oralità e scrittura nel processo penale in Italia e in Spagna tenendo conto delle diverse forme che assume il dibattimento nei…
