Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods for High Dimensional Inversion in Remote Sensing
2004
SummaryWe discuss the inversion of the gas profiles (ozone, NO3, NO2, aerosols and neutral density) in the upper atmosphere from the spectral occultation measurements. The data are produced by the ‘Global ozone monitoring of occultation of stars’ instrument on board the Envisat satellite that was launched in March 2002. The instrument measures the attenuation of light spectra at various horizontal paths from about 100 km down to 10–20 km. The new feature is that these data allow the inversion of the gas concentration height profiles. A short introduction is given to the present operational data management procedure with examples of the first real data inversion. Several solution options for…
Lattices and dual lattices in optimal experimental design for Fourier models
1998
Number-theoretic lattices, used in integration theory, are studied from the viewpoint of the design and analysis of experiments. For certain Fourier regression models lattices are optimal as experimental designs because they produce orthogonal information matrices. When the Fourier model is restricted, that is a special subset of the full factorial (cross-spectral) model is used, there is a difficult inversion problem to find generators for an optimal design for the given model. Asymptotic results are derived for certain models as the dimension of the space goes to infinity. These can be thought of as a complexity theory connecting designs and models or as special type of Nyquist sampling t…
Bayesian hierarchical models in manufacturing bulk service queues
2006
In this paper, Queueing Theory and Bayesian statistical tools are used to analyze the congestion of various manufacturing bulk service queues with the same characteristics that are working independently of one another and in equilibrium. Hierarchical models are discussed in order to develop the whole inferential process for the parameters governing the system. Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods and numerical inversion of transforms are addressed to compute the posterior predictive distributions of the usual measures of performance in practice.
Zur Stereochemie der Oxidation chiraler, tertiärer Phosphine mit Dimethylsulfoxid
1976
Es wird uber den sterischen Verlauf der Oxidation der optisch aktiven, tertiaren Phosphine 3 and 4 mit Dimethylsulfoxid berichtet. Diese Umsetzung verlauft nur in Gegenwart elektrophiler Katalysatoren (Tabelle 1). Je nach Art and Menge des Katalysators zeigt die Stereochemie der Reaktion entweder uberwiegende Inversion oder Retention der Konfiguration am Phosphor an (Tabellen 2, 3); in einigen Fallen wird jedoch fast vollstandige Racemisierung beobachtet (Tabelle3). Auf der Grundlage dieser stereochemischen Resultate werden mogliche Mechanismen fur diese Umsetzung diskutiert. The Sterochemistry of the Oxidation of Chiral Tertiary Phosphines by Means of Dimethyl Sulfoxide The steric course o…
The in, out Asymmetric Pseudo-Triple Helical Form of a D3h Diaza-Macropentacycle
2007
A sterically encumbered [N(2)S(6)] macropentacycle (5) related to diazamacrobicycles and cryptands has been synthesized in 53% yield by the [1+1] condensation reaction between functionalized macrocyclic and macrotricyclic precursors. A macrononacycle (18) resulting from the corresponding [2+2] condensation was isolated in 7% yield from the reaction mixture. Both compounds showed broad features in their room-temperature (1)H NMR spectra, but their maximal average symmetry (D(3h) and D(2h), respectively) was achieved at high temperature (380 K). At low temperature (200 K, CD(2)Cl(2) solution), the macropentacycle is "frozen" to a single asymmetric (C1) conformation on the (1)H NMR time scale,…
Dall'inversione alle trasformazioni quadratiche
2012
Dall'inversione alle trasformazioni quadratiche Aldo Brigaglia (Università di Palermo) brig@math.unipa.it La inversione (o trasformazione per raggi vettori reciproci) è da considerarsi la prima trasformazione birazionale (non lineare) entrata in modo stabile nel novero di quelle trattate dai matematici. La stessa sua naturalezza ha reso nebulosa l’origine di questo concetto. In effetti si tratta della trasformazione che, fissato un punto A e un segmento r, associa ad ogni punto B il punto B’ sulla semiretta AB tale che AB’ sia il terzo proporzionale tra AB e r. Costruzioni di punti di questo genere sono presenti assai spesso: p. es. nella proiezione stereografica, in cui r è il diametro del…
Seismic moment tensors and regional stress in the area of the December 2013–January 2014, Matese earthquake sequence (Italy)
2014
Abstract The main goal of this study is to provide moment tensor solutions for small and moderate earthquakes of the Matese seismic sequence in southern Italy for the period of December 2013–January 2014. We estimate the focal mechanisms of 31 earthquakes with local magnitudes related to the Matese earthquake seismic sequence (December 2013–January 2014) in Southern-Central Italy which are recorded by the broadband stations of the Italian National Seismic Network and the Mediterranean Very Broadband Seismographic Network (MedNet) run by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). The solutions show that normal faulting is the prevailing style of seismic deformation in agreeme…
Robustness of PET Radiomics Features: Impact of Co-Registration with MRI
2021
Radiomics holds great promise in the field of cancer management. However, the clinical application of radiomics has been hampered by uncertainty about the robustness of the features extracted from the images. Previous studies have reported that radiomics features are sensitive to changes in voxel size resampling and interpolation, image perturbation, or slice thickness. This study aims to observe the variability of positron emission tomography (PET) radiomics features under the impact of co-registration with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using the difference percentage coefficient, and the Spearman’s correlation coefficient for three groups of images: (i) original PET, (ii) PET after co-…
Demand Response for Integrating Photovoltaic Plants in Lampedusa Island
2021
This paper presents the results of a simulation study concerning different Demand Response logics applied to Electric Storage Water Heaters on the island of Lampedusa. Electric Storage Water Heaters are the devices that are primarily used on the island to produce domestic hot water. Starting from measured load profiles collected in Lampedusa, a domestic hot water consumption profile was derived, to simulate the energy usage of the Storage Water Electric Heaters during the day. This work was carried out as a preliminary feasibility study for the BloRin project, financed by cohesion funds in the Sicilian region. According to the project, which also includes the installation of domestic photov…
