The idea that technology can transfer a person to a different environment without any physical movement and create the illusion of interaction with the artificial environment is not new. Scientists and engineers have been dedicating their efforts to its progressive…

A revision of the calpionellid bio-chronostratigraphy in Western Sicily (Italy)
was carried out, in order to update the taxonomy of this group, through the
identification of some genera (Borziella, Longicollaria, Chitinoidella, Dobeniella,
Sturiella, Borzaiella and Praecalpionellites) and species (Remaniella
catalanoi…

We estimated the number of colors perceived by color normal and color-deficient observers when looking at the theoretic limits of object-color stimuli. These limits, the optimal color stimuli, were computed for a color normal observer and CIE standard illuminant D65,…

In the convergence theory of multisplittings for symmetric positive definite (s.p.d.) matrices it is usually assumed that the weighting matrices are scalar matrices, i.e., multiples of the identity. In this paper, this restrictive condition is eliminated. In its place it…

This paper analyzes the effect on the optimal value of a given linear semi-infinite programming problem of the kind of
perturbations which more frequently arise in practical applications: those which affect the objective function and the right-hand-side coefficients of the…
