Robust Statistical Methods to Discriminate Extreme Events in Geoelectrical Precursory Signals: Implications with Earthquake Prediction
In this study, we propose a robust statistical method to discern anomalous patterns in geoelectrical time series measured in a seismic area of the Southern Apennine chain. First, a filtering procedure to remov...

Problems in Cloud Identification and Clearing
The scientific community has devoted much attention to processing of clear-sky radiances. Over the years more physics has been introduced in the inversion algorithms with a steady reduction of the differences ...

Optimal Spectral Estimation Algorithms for Michelson Inter-Ferometer Spectrometers
Spectra recorded by Michelson interferometer spectrometers are usually distorted because the spectrometers have a finite resolving power. Indeed, although the radiance spectrum is obtained in principle by a Fo...

Maximum Entropy Techniques in Inverse and Environmental Problems
In this paper we present some applications of maximum entropy techniques in atmospheric physics and in environmental problems. In the first case we analyze the possibility of using entropy as a regularization ...

Behavioural and Neurochemical Changes Produced by Lefetamine in Two Inbred Strains of Mice
Lefetamine, a diphenylalkylaminic derivative, is a centrally acting analgesic which seems to possess abuse liability. The analgesic effect and the abuse liability of this compound are both due to its opiate ac...

Prenatal Exposure to Methylazoxymethanol (MAM) Acetate: Effects on Ultrasonic Vocalization and Locomotor Activity in Rat Offspring
Methylazoxymethanol (MAM), a potent alkylating agent, produces marked microencephaly as well as long-term learning impairments in the progeny of rats injected at the beginning of the 3rd week of pregnancy (Spa...

Behavioural Changes in Rats After Prenatal Administration of Typical and Atypical Antidepressants
Prenatal administration of typical (desipramine, DMI) and atypical (viloxazine, VX and mianserin, MS) antidepressants, at dose levels which do not influence reproductive success or neonatal mortality, produces...
