Screw dislocations in periodic media: Variational coarse graining of the discrete elastic energy

We study the asymptotic behavior, as the lattice spacing ? tends to zero, of the discrete elastic energy induced by topological singularities in an inhomogeneous ? periodic medium within a two-dimensional model for screw dislocations in the square lattice. We focus on the |log?| regime which, as ?->0 allows the emergence of a finite number of limiting topological singularities.

Computing integrals with an exponential weight on the real axis in floating point arithmetic

The aim of this work is to propose a fast and reliable algorithm for computing integrals of the type $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x) e^{\scriptstyle -x^2 -\frac{\scriptstyle 1}{\scriptstyle x^2}} dx,$$ where $f(x)$ is a sufficiently smooth function, in floating point arithmetic. The algorithm is based on a product integration rule, whose rate of convergence depends only on the regularity of $f$, since the coefficients of the rule are ``exactly'' computed by means of suitable recurrence relations here derived. We prove stability and convergence in the space of locally continuous functions

On the probability of (falsely) connecting two distinct components when learning a GGM

In this paper, we extend the result on the probability of (falsely) connecting two distinct components when learning a GGM (Gaussian Graphical Model) by the joint regression based technique. While the classical method of regression based technique learns the neighbours of each node one at a time through a Lasso penalized regression, its joint modification, considered here, learns the neighbours of each node simultaneously through a group Lasso penalized regression.

RNASeqGUI: a GUI for analysing RNA-Seq data

Summary: We present RNASeqGUI R package, a graphical user interface (GUI) for the identification of differentially expressed genes across multiple biological conditions. This R package includes some wellk-nown RNA-Seq tools, available at www.bioconductor.org. RNASeqGUI package is not just a collection of some known methods and functions, but it is designed to guide the user during the entire analysis process. RNASeqGUI package is mainly addressed to those users who have little experience with command-line software.
