SFMM design in colocated CS-MIMO radar for jamming and interference joint suppression
This study focuses on the problem of joint suppression of active jamming in target sector-of-interest (SOI) and out-ofsector interference for colocated compressive sensing multiple-input-multiple-output (CS-MIMO) radar. Three effective strategies for spatial filter measurement matrix (SFMM) design are outlined. Unlike the previous reported Capon beamformer and minimum variance distortionless response beamformer, the proposed design strategies only depend on the target spatial SOI rather than the accurate directions-of-arrival (DOAs) of targets, jammers and interfering sources to obtain deep nulls or notches for the SOI jamming and low-attenuation levels for the out-of-sector interference. The SFMM design criteria are derived using the second-order cone programming and solved as convex optimisation problems. The proposed approaches can simultaneously suppress the SOI jamming and attenuate the out-of-sector interference. Meanwhile, better DOA estimation accuracy can be achieved. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approaches over the other methods for colocated CS-MIMO radar

Recent advancements of landslide hydrology
Occurrence of rainfall-induced landslides is increasing worldwide, owing to land use and climate changes. Although the connection between hydrology and rainfall-induced landslides might seem obvious, hydrological processes have been only marginally considered in landslide research for decades. In 2016, an advanced review paper published in WIREs Water [Bogaard and Greco (2016), WIREs Water, 3(3), 439–459] pointed out several challenging issues for landslide hydrology research: considering large-scale hydrological processes in the assessment of slope water balance; including antecedent hydrological information in landslide hazard assessment; understanding and quantifying the feedbacks between deformation and infiltration/drainage processes; overcoming the conceptual mismatch of soil mechanics models and hydrological models. While little progress has been made on the latter two issues, a variety of studies have been published, focusing on the role of hydrological processes in landslide initiation and prediction. The importance of the identification of the origin of water to understand the processes leading to landslide activation is largely acknowledged. Techniques and methodologies for the definition of landslide catchments and for the assessment of landslide water balance are progressing fast, often considering the hydraulic effect of vegetation. The use of hydrological information in landslide prediction models has also progressed enormously. Empirical predictive tools, to be implemented in early warning systems for shallow landslides, benefit from the inclusion of antecedent soil moisture, extracted from different sources depending on the scale of the prediction, leading to significant improvement of their predictive skill. However, this kind of information is generally still missing in operational LEWS. This article is categorized under: Science of Water > Hydrological Processes.Water Resource
Republican amphorae in the Auvergne central France
This thesis studies Republican amphoraefrom late Iron age (c. 200-1 BC) sites from the Auvergne (central France). The morphology, dating and contents of Greco-Italic, Dressel 1 and Lamboglia 2 amphorae, and the morphology of Republican amphoraefrom Mediterranean shipwrecks are reviewed. The morphology of 28 Republican amphorae assemblages from
the Auvergne are described in detail and compared with 44 assemblages from Western Europe. A detailed programme of fabric analysis,using thin-sectioning, of 408 rim sherds,has created96 fabric groups,many of which have been assigned to specific kilns. The distribution of Republican
amphorae in the Auvergne and for the whole of France is studied and discussed. The role of amphorae in socio-economic change,the accessto amphorae, the deposition of amphorae and the importation of other Mediterranean imports (Campanian wares,mortaria andpate claires) in the Auvergne is addressed. Assemblages of Republican amphorae stamps from the Auvergne and the rest of Franceare compared by analysing the types of stamps,their placement, stamping rates and their place of origin. The Republican wine trade to the Auvergne started during the second century BC when small numbers of Greco-Italic amphoraewere imported and the large-scale importation of Dressel I amphorae occurred after c.150/140BC. A high proportion of the amphoraecame from the Etrurian kilns of Albinia and Cosa. Republican amphoraewere widely distributed in the Auvergne during the second century BC with 203 findspots and are found in large numbersat several sites
Intersection of art, science and architecture: stochastic architecture compositions of eventualist theory
The paper illustrates the first application in a real architectural context of samples of Stochastic Tiles, based on paintings by Sergio Lombardo, an Italian artist, a leading figure of the Roman avant-garde in the sixties who is still active today. In the eighties he elaborated the innovative aesthetic theory of Eventualism .
Stochastic Architectural Composition is an experimental research activity, carried on by the author, that deals with complexity and random processes in architecture, according to the methods and procedures developed by Lombardo, as well as to the new ideas of creativity and the artwork delineated by the Eventualist theory. Some experimental projects and built architectures, designed by the author, are also presented in the article
