Stochastic modelling of solar-radiation data
Daily global solar-radiation sequences are studied for Italy. We show that the experimental data can be described as a first-order autoregressive stochastic process independent of locality or season: the only ...

Long-term limit of photochemical conversion in concentrating devices with one and two photosystems
In this paper we discuss in detail the long-term maximum yield of photochemical conversion for devices working in realistic weather conditions. In our analysis we take into account both the devices with one ph...

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 ...

Topics in Optimal Inversion Schemes Applied to Atmospheric Structure Retrieval
Spatial and spectral resolution are the two main points which must be accounted for in develo** advanced infrared sounders aimed at improving water vapour and temperature retrievals. Ongoing research at IMAA...

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...

The modified moment problem in the presence of noise
The modified moment problem is little studied in the literature with respect to the classical moment problem due to the lacking of experiments measuring modified moments. The modified moment problem is analyze...

Life cycle of scientific publications in the field of high social impact
In a previous work, we have presented an innovative theoretical model to describe the evolution of the life cycle of a new technology. We have proposed a mathematical approach based on a rate equation, similar...
