Frequency domain analysis of the gravitational wave energy loss in hyperbolic encounters

The energy radiated (without the 1.5PN tail contribution which requires a different treatment) by a binary system of compact objects moving in a hyperboliclike orbit is computed in the frequency domain through the second post-Newtonian level as an expansion in the large-eccentricity parameter up to next-to-next-to-leading order, completing the time domain corresponding information (fully known in closed form at the second post-Newtonian of accuracy).

Microscale modelling of dielectrophoresis assembly processes

This work presents a microscale approach for simulating the dielectrophoresis assembly of polarizable particles under an external electric field. The model is shown to capture interesting dynamical and topological features, such as the formation of chains of particles and their incipient aggregation into hierarchical structures. A quantitative characterization in terms of the number and size of these structures is also discussed.

Sixth post-Newtonian local-in-time dynamics of binary systems

Using a recently introduced method [D. Bini, T. Damour, and A. Geralico, Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 231104 (2019)], which splits the conservative dynamics of gravitationally interacting binary systems into a nonlocal-in-time part and a local-in-time one, we compute the local part of the dynamics at the sixth post-Newtonian (6PN) accuracy. Our strategy combines several theoretical formalisms: post-Newtonian, post-Minkowskian, multipolar-post-Minkowskian, effective-field-theory, gravitational self-force, effective one-body, and Delaunay averaging.

Single cell multi-omic analysis identifies a Tbx1-dependent multilineage primed population in murine cardiopharyngeal mesoderm.

The poles of the heart and branchiomeric muscles of the face and neck are formed from the cardiopharyngeal mesoderm within the pharyngeal apparatus. They are disrupted in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, due to haploinsufficiency of TBX1, encoding a T-box transcription factor. Here, using single cell RNA-sequencing, we now identify a multilineage primed population within the cardiopharyngeal mesoderm, marked by Tbx1, which has bipotent properties to form cardiac and branchiomeric muscle cells.

Wall-anchored semiflexible polymer under large amplitude oscillatory shear flow

The properties of semiflexible polymers tethered by one end to an impenetrable wall and exposed to oscillatory shear flow are investigated by mesoscale simulations. A polymer, confined in two dimensions, is described by a linear bead-spring chain, and fluid interactions are incorporated by the Brownian multiparticle collision dynamics approach. At small strain, the polymers follow the applied flow field. However, at high strain, we find a strongly nonlinear response with major conformational changes.

Parameter estimation for cardiovascular flow modeling of fetal circulation

The present paper represents a first methodological work for the construction of a robust and accurate algorithm for the solution of an inverse problem given by the identification of the parameters of a lumped mathematical model of fetal circulation introduced by G. Pennati et al. (1997). The underlying estimation techniques here applied are two global search meth- ods, respectively a Parameter Space Investigation (PSI) and the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), with a refinement performed with a local search method, i.e. Levenberg- Marquardt method (LM).

Fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces

The optimal Orlicz target space and the optimal rearrangement-invariant tar- get space are exhibited for embeddings of fractional-order Orlicz-Sobolev spaces W^{s,A}(R^n). Related Hardy type inequalities are proposed as well. Versions for frac- tional Orlicz-Sobolev seminorms of the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu theorem on the limit as s->1^- and of the Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova theorem on the limit as s ->0^+ are established. This is a joint work with Andrea Cianchi, Lubos Pick and Lenka Slavikova.
