This volume contains the proceedings of the international workshop Variational Problems in Materials Science. Coverage includes the study of BV vector fields, path functionals over Wasserstein spaces, variational approaches to quasi-static evolution, free-discontinuity problems with applications to fracture and plasticity, systems with hysteresis or with interfacial energies, evolution of interfaces, multi-scale analysis in ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity, and much more.

This is a sweet and magical story about a little boy and his pet cloud named Harold. We have all seen shapes in the sky, but this young boy looks up and finds a special cloud that becomes his friend for life. The two play and share adventures, and the cloud is a reassuring presence. The boy learns that he can count on Harold for support, and that even though he may go away for a little while, as people in our lives sometimes do, their connection assures that Harold will always come back to him. This book speaks to a child's sense of wonder, imagination, friendship, and the ability to...

The sense of touch is fundamental during the interaction between humans and their environment; in virtual reality, objects are created by computer simulations and they can be experienced through haptic devices. In this context haptic textures are fundamental for a realistic haptic perception of virtual objects.

This book formalizes the specific artefacts corrupting the rendering of virtual haptic textures and offers a set of simple conditions to guide haptic researchers towards artefact-free textures. The conditions identified are also extremely valuable when designing psychophysical...

Calabria, 1927. Un territorio, un paese, una famiglia, isolati tra le montagne della Sila Grande, vivono oppressi dalla tirannia di un violento Barone che vuole sottomettere i fratelli Ferruccio e Pietro. Il Barone rifi utato, attenta alla vita del fi glio di Ferruccio, Nicola di 2 anni e, a distanza di tempo, dopo una strage, adotta con prepotenza Carmen di 4 anni, nipote acquisita di Pietro, rimasta orfana. L'astuto Pietro, detto Zione, si schiera con l'arrogante Barone. Obbedisce, sopporta, gli sta vicino aspettando il momento propizio per eliminarlo. Passano gli anni. Ferruccio ritorna...

This book provides a guiding thread between the distant fields of fluid mechanics and clinical cardiology. Well rooted in the science of fluid dynamics, it drives the reader across progressively more realistic scenarios up to the complexity of routine medical applications. Based on the author’s 25 years of collaborations with cardiologists, it helps engineers learn communicating with clinicians, yet maintaining the rigor of scientific disciplines.

This book starts with a description of the fundamental elements of fluid dynamics in large blood vessels. This is achieved by...
