Translocation Dynamics of High-Internal Phase Double Emulsions in Narrow Channels
We numerically study the translocation dynamics of double emulsion drops with multiple close-packed inner droplets within constrictions. Such liquid architectures, which we refer to as HIPdEs (high-internal phase double emulsions), consist of a ternary fluid, in which monodisperse droplets are encapsulated within a larger drop in turn immersed in a bulk fluid.
Easyreporting simplifies the implementation of Reproducible Research layers in R software
During last years "irreproducibility" became a general problem in omics data analysis due to the use of sophisticated and poorly described computational procedures. For avoiding misleading results, it is necessary to inspect and reproduce the entire data analysis as a unified product. Reproducible Research (RR) provides general guidelines for public access to the analytic data and related analysis code combined with natural language documentation, allowing third-parties to reproduce the findings.
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).
Three-stage multiscale modelling of the NMDA neuroreceptor
We present a new multistage method to study the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) neuroreceptor starting from the reconstruction of its crystallographic structure. Thanks to the combination of Homology Modelling, Molecular Dynamics and Lattice Boltzmann simulations, we analyse the allosteric transition of NDMA upon ligand binding and compute the receptor response to ionic passage across the membrane.
Shear dynamics of polydisperse double emulsions
We numerically study the dynamics of a polydisperse double emulsion under a symmetric shear flow. We show that both dispersity and shear rate crucially affect the behavior of the innermost drops and of the surrounding shell.
Gravitational scattering at the seventh order in G: Nonlocal contribution at the sixth post-Newtonian accuracy
A recently introduced approach to the classical gravitational dynamics of binary systems involves intricate integrals (linked to a combination of nonlocal-in-time interactions with iterated 1r-potential scattering) which have so far resisted attempts at their analytical evaluation.
Einstein, Planck and Vera Rubin: Relevant Encounters Between the Cosmological and the Quantum Worlds
In Cosmology and in Fundamental Physics there is a crucial question like: where the elusive substance that we call Dark Matter is hidden in the Universe and what is it made of? that, even after 40 years from the Vera Rubin seminal discovery [1] does not have a proper answer.
ECOPOTENTIAL: Using Earth Observations to Protect Natural Landscapes
Terrestrial and marine ecosystems provide essential goods and services to human societies.
In the last decades, however, anthropogenic pressure has produced a loss of ecosystem services that can seriously affect human wellbeing and climate processes at local and regional scale.
Investigating new forms of gravity-matter couplings in the gravitational field equations
This paper proposes a toy model where, in the Einstein equations, the right-hand side is modified by the addition of a term proportional to the symmetrized partial contraction of the Ricci tensor with the energy-momentum tensor, while the left-hand side remains equal to the Einstein tensor. Bearing in mind the existence of a natural length scale given by the Planck length, dimensional analysis shows that such a term yields a correction linear in ? to the classical term that is instead just proportional to the energy-momentum tensor.
