The Entropy-Based Quantum Metric

Entropy, 2014
The von Neumann entropy S( D ^ ) generates in the space of quantum density matrices  D ^ the Riemannian metric ds2 = −d2S( D ^ ), which is physically founded and which characterises the amount of quantum information lost by mixing  D ...

Moisture inversions in the central Arctic: Product assessment and long‐wave radiative effect

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the integrated water vapour and the vertical distribution of water vapour of state‐of‐the‐art reanalyses, weather forecast models, and ground‐ and space‐based remote‐sensing products in the central Arctic. A particular focus lies on the representation of humidity inversions and the quantification of the long‐wave radiative effect ...

GEOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF PLANAR SHAPES WITH APPLICATIONS TO CELL DEFORMATIONS

Image Analysis and Stereology, 2015
Shape analysis is of great importance in many fields such as computer vision, medical imaging, and computational biology. In this paper we focus on a shape space in which shapes are represented by means of planar closed curves.

Mapping River Bed Topography in Whitewater Rapids Using Bathymetric LiDAR

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bathymetric LiDAR captures river topography efficiently for clear and shallow water, but for mountain rivers, whitewater rapids still pose challenges. This study proposes a novel method to enable the extraction of bottom returns specifically in turbulent whitewater sections.

The Interconnection Between Calculus of Variations, Partial Differential Equations and Differential Geometry

Selecciones Matemáticas
Calculus of variations is a fundamental mathematical discipline focused on optimizing functionals, which map sets of functions to real numbers. This field is essential for numerous applications, including the formulation and solution of partial ...

On the compatibility of single‐scan terrestrial LiDAR with digital photogrammetry and field inventory metrics of vegetation structure in forest and agroforestry landscapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The single‐scan approach to terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and the self‐terrain‐normalized form of drone‐based digital aerial photogrammetry (DAP) offer practical options for rapid assessment of the vegetation structure in tropical landscapes.

APPROXIMATION OF THE DISTANCE IN THE SPHERE THROUGH OF THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF INITIAL VALUE PROBLEM ASSOCIATED TO GEODESICS

Selecciones Matemáticas, 2016
In this paper, we proposes an algorithm to approximate the Geodesic distance between points p and q of sphere, through the numerical solution of initial value problem associated with the system of ordinary differential equations of the geodesics; for ...

Evaluating the Role of Social Capital for the Design of Sustainable River Governance Strategies: The Case of Tagus River

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of social capital in designing and implementing more effective governance strategies to improve the state of the Tagus River's significantly deteriorated middle reach (Spain). We employed social network analysis (SNA) to evaluate the bonding, bridging and linking social capital and the quality of stakeholder ...

Climate Crisis, Human Mobility and Security Challenges in the MENA Region: Implications for Sustainable Development and Regional Stability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the interplay between climate change, violent conflict and forced migration in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), focusing on asylum flows to the European Union (EU). By integrating high‐resolution climate, conflict and socioeconomic data spanning 2000 to 2023, we develop a comprehensive empirical framework to ...

Falling into the Past: Geodesics in a Time Travel Metric

Universe
We investigate timelike and null geodesics within the rotating “time machine” spacetime proposed by Ralph, T.C.; et al. Phys. Rev. D 2020, 102, 124013. This is a rotating analogue of Alcubierre’s warp drive spacetime.
