Computational Topology Techniques Help To Solve A  Long-Lasting Forensic Dilemma: Aldo Moro's Death (open access)

Computational Topology Techniques Help To Solve A Long-Lasting Forensic Dilemma: Aldo Moro's Death

The article shows how a recently-introduced method from algebraic topology, namely proximal planar vortex 1-cycles, might be helpful in detecting hidden features of the shapes and holes in images, therefore contributing to the solution of both cold and fresh forensic cases. They apply this technique in a recent case, Aldo Moro's death.

Prioritizing riparian corridors for ecosystem restoration in urbanizing watersheds (open access)

Prioritizing riparian corridors for ecosystem restoration in urbanizing watersheds

This article explores restoration, rather than protection, being the basis for developing a watershed level strategy for improving water quality in urbanizing watersheds.This study uses a geographical information system (GIS) approach that utilizes riparian characteristics extracted from 40-meter wide corridors centered on streams and rivers. The model was applied to 90 sub-watersheds in the watershed of an important drinking water reservoir in north central Texas, USA.

Caputo Fractional Derivative and Quantum-Like Coherence (open access)

Caputo Fractional Derivative and Quantum-Like Coherence

This article studies two forms of anomalous diffusions and discusses the joint use of these prescriptions, with a phenomenological method and a theoretical projection method, leading to two apparently different diffusion equations. The authors prove that the two diffusion equations are equivalent and design a time series that corresponds to the anomalous diffusion equation proposed.
