Mountain Pass Algorithms and Applications.

open access: yes, 2011
Saddle-points and mountain-pass points of energy surfaces have many applications in areas that range from plate buckling and interface propagation, to theoretical chemistry and image processing. This thesis starts by giving a motivation for the subject.

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Study on the Shape Memory Performance of 4D‐Printed Auxetic Cellular Structures with Energy Absorption Application

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
4D‐printed auxetic cellular structures made from PETG demonstrate almost complete recovery of shape and mechanical properties after repeated loading. Two strategies successfully addressed the low shape‐fixity issue, the primary limitation of cold programming.

The Weak Core, Partition‐Based Universal Stability, and Their Risk Associations Through A Partial Order

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are concerned with the stability of a transferable‐utility cooperative (TU) game. First, the concept of core can be weakened so that the blocking of changes is limited to only those with multilateral backings. This principle of consensual blocking, as well as the traditional core‐defining one of unilateral blocking and one straddling in ...

Veronica paczoskiana is no more than a pine forest ecotype of V. spicata that evolved independently in forest‐steppes of Ukraine and the Altai region

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The Eurasian steppe area has been a dynamic vegetation biome during the Pleistocene with its repeated cycles of forest advances and retreats. Such a scenario allows the evolution of ecotypes at the ecotone with the potential for parallel evolution in different parts of the distribution area.
