Methane storms on Saturn's moon Titan
Authors: Agustín Sánchez-Lavega,Ricardo Hueso
The presence of dry fluvial river channels and the intense cloud activity in the south pole of Titan over the past few years suggest the presence of methane rain. The nitrogen atmosphere of Titan therefore appears to support a methane meteorological cycle that sculptures the surface and controls…

Some dispersive estimates for Schrödinger equations with repulsive potentials
Authors: Juan Antonio Barceló,Luis Vega,Alberto Ruiz
AbstractWe prove the local smoothing effect for Schrödinger equations with repulsive potentials for n⩾3. The estimates are global in time and are proved using a variation of Morawetz multipliers. As a consequence we give sharp constants to measure the attractive part of the potential and its rate…

Analysis of the short form‐36 (SF‐36): the beta‐binomial distribution approach
Authors: Vicente Núñez-Antón,Inmaculada Arostegui,José M. Quintana
AbstractHealth‐related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important indicator of health status and the Short Form‐36 (SF‐36) is a generic instrument to measure it. Multiple linear regression (MLR) is often used to study the relationship of HRQoL with patients' characteristics, though HRQoL outcomes tend…

A Two-Dimensional Self-Adaptive $hp$ Finite Element Method for the Analysis of Open Region Problems in Electromagnetics
Authors: David Pardo,Leszek Demkowicz,Ignacio Gomez-Revuelto,Luis E. Garcia-Castillo
A two-dimensional self-adaptive hp finite element method (FEM) for the analysis of open region problems in electromagnetics is described. The method incorporates an iterative procedure for solving open region problems. More precisely, solution of the open problem is achieved by solving a low number…

‘Planetodiversity’: the variety of planets and planetary systems in the Universe
Authors: Agustín Sánchez-Lavega
‘Planetodiversity’ is a composite word from planetary diversity. This denomination wants to parallel the common use of the term biodiversity employed in biology but translated here to the context of planetary sciences due to the proliferating variety of planets discovered outside the Solar System…

Integration of hp-adaptivity and a two grid solver for electromagnetic problems
Authors: Leszek Demkowicz,David Pardo,Jay Gopalakrishnan
We present implementation details and analyze convergence of a two grid solver forming the core of a fully automatic hp-adaptive strategy for electromagnetic problems. The solver delivers a solution for a fine grid obtained from an arbitrary coarse hp grid by a global hp-refinement. The classical V…

Scatter Search in software testing, comparison and collaboration with Estimation of Distribution Algorithms
Authors: Ramón Sagarna,Jose A. Lozano
Abstract One of the main tasks software testing includes is the generation of the test cases to be used during the test. Due to its expensive cost, the automatization of this task has become one of the key issues in the area. The field of Evolutionary Testing deals with this problem by means of…

Non-Linear Random Wave Groups With a Superimposed Current
Authors: Felice Arena,Vincenzo Nava,Alessandra Romolo
In this paper a new solution for non-linear random wave groups in the presence of a uniform current is obtained, by extending to the second-order the Boccotti’s ‘Quasi-Determinism’ (QD) theory. The second formulation of the QD theory gives the mechanics of linear random wave groups when a large…

Abstract In this work we analyze and compare the vertical cloud structure of Saturn's Equatorial Zone in two different epochs: the first one close to the Voyagers flybys (1979–1981) and the second one in 2004, when the Cassini spacecraft entered its orbit around the planet. Our goal is to…
