In this work, the flow normal to a rectangular flat plate with sharp angles in the presence of the free surface and gravity has been studied numerically, using a three dimensional (3D) large Eddy simulation methodology. Most of the previous studies on this geometry consider either periodic assumptions or laminar regime Re ∼ O(103).
Complex Information Systems and infrastructures, like Smart Cities, must be efficiently operated, minimizing inefficiencies and maximizing productivity. Traditional approaches are focused on improving the systems, automating processes and services, leaving aside human and emotions considerations.
The Thermocapillary Effects in Phase Change Materials in Microgravity (TEPiM) experiment aims to analyse the potential of Marangoni convection for heat transfer enhancement in Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in weightlessness, where the slow characteristic time of the phase change process constrains their use as thermal control devices.
Non-backtracking centrality was introduced as a way to correct what may be understood as a deficiency in the eigenvector centrality, since the eigenvector centrality in a network can be artificially increased in high-degree nodes (hubs) because a hub is central because its neighbors are central, but these, in turn, are central just because they are hub neighbors.

During the last decades there has been a rapidly growing elderly population and the number of patients with chronic heart-related diseases has exploded. Many of them (such as those with congestive heart failure or some types of arrhythmias) require close medical supervision, thus imposing a big burden on healthcare costs in most western economies.
