The present work extends a previous paper where an agent-based and two-dimensional partial differential diffusion model was introduced for describing immune cell dynamics (leukocytes) in cancer-on-chip experiments. In the present work, new features are introduced for the dynamics of leukocytes and for their interactions with tumor cells, improving the adherence of the model to what is observed in laboratory experiments. Each system's solution realization is a family of biased random walk trajectories, affected by the chemotactic gradients and in turn affecting them.

The PRISMA (PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa) hyperspectral satellite, launched by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) is presently operational on a global scale. The mission includes the hyperspectral imager PRISMA working in the 400-2500 nm spectral range with 234 bands and a panchromatic (PAN) camera (400-750 nm). In the context of this work, we intend to determine the two noise components (photon and thermal noise) and assess SNR with an image based approach.

In this paper, a complete picture of the different plastic failure modes that can be predicted by the strain gradient plasticity model proposed in Del Piero et al. (J. Mech. Mater. Struct. 8:109-151, 2013) is drawn. The evolution problem of the elasto-plastic strain is formulated in Del Piero et al. (J. Mech. Mater. Struct. 8:109-151, 2013) as an incremental minimization problem acting on an energy functional which includes a local plastic term and a non-local gradient contribution.

The simulations for the inverse problem of radiative transfer, even if built with a correct Bayesian approach, do not represent the full source of errors present in the experimental data. We point out two categories of errors (atmospheric model errors and non-Gaussian instrumental errors due to the optics and hardware, that are not considered by standard methods. Moreover, we show cases taken from FORUM simulated radiances using an End to End simulator, where se show how the instrument reacts to a non homogeneousneous filed of view.

In this paper, an algorithm for the numerical evaluation of hypersingular finite-part integrals with rapidly oscillating kernels is proposed. The method is based on an interpolatory procedure at zeros of the orthogonal polynomials with respect to the first kind Chebyshev weight. Bounds of the error and of the amplification factor are also provided. Numerically stable procedure are obtained and the corresponding algorithms can be implemented in a fast way.

Recent literature confirms the crucial influence of non-viscous deformations together with temperature impact on glacier and rock glacier flow numerical simulation. Along this line, supported by the successful test on a one-dimensional set-up developed by two of the author, we propose the numerical solution of a two-dimensional rock-glacier flow model based on an ice constitutive law of second grade differential type .
