Historical Archive of the Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo

L'Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo "Mauro Picone" (IAC) si appresta nel 2017 a celebrare nel 2017 i novantanni della sua fondazione. L'articolo fa una breve storia dell'IAC e ricorda i successi del passato.

Kinetic approach to sulphite chemical aggression in porous media

A kinetic description is proposed of a fluid species moving in a porous medium and chemically interacting with it. The porosity is included in the model by a modification of the standard kinetic equations for two gaseous species diffusing in a background medium of two solid species. The validity…

The k-labeled Spanning Forest Problem

In the k-labeled Spanning Forest Problem (kLSF), given a graph G with a label (color) assigned to each edge, and an integer positive value kmax we look for the minimum number of connected components that can be obtained by using at most kmax different labels. The problem is strictly related to the…

Handling obstacles in pedestrian simulations: Models and optimization

In this paper we are concerned with the simulation of crowds in built environments, where obstacles play a role in the dynamics and in the interactions among pedestrians. First of all, we review the state-of-the-art of the techniques for handling obstacles in numerical simulations. Then, we…

Statistical Approaches to Use a Model Organism for Regulatory Sequences Annotation of Newly Sequenced Species

A major goal of bioinformatics is the characterization of transcription factors and the transcriptional programs they regulate. Given the speed of genome sequencing, we would like to quickly annotate regulatory sequences in newly-sequenced genomes. In such cases, it would be helpful to predict…

A QR-method for computing the singular values via semiseparable matrices

Characterization of the Shells in Layer-By-Layer Nanofunctionalized Particles: A Computational Study

Drug delivery carriers are considered an encouraging approach for the localized treatment of disease with minimum effect on the surrounding tissue. Particularly, layer-by-layer releasing particles have gained increasing interest for their ability to develop multifunctional systems able to control…

A fluid dynamics multidimensional model of biofilm growth: stability, influence of environment and sensitivity

In this article, we study in detail the fluid dynamics system proposed in Clarelli et al. (2013, J. Math. Biol., 66, 1387-1408) to model the formation of cyanobacteria biofilms. After analysing the linear stability of the unique non-trivial equilibrium of the system, we introduce in the model the…

Invasions in heterogeneous habitats in the presence of advection

We investigate invasions from a biological reservoir to an initially empty, heterogeneous habitat in the presence of advection. The habitat consists of a periodic alternation of favorable and unfavorable patches. In the latter the population dies at fixed rate. In the former it grows either with…
