Semiflexible polymers under external fields confined to two dimensions

The non-equilibrium structural and dynamical properties of semiflexible polymers confined to two dimensions are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Three different scenarios are considered: the force-extension relation of tethered polymers, the relaxation of an initially stretched…

On the equilibrium of a charged massive particle in the field of a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole

The multiyear problem of a two-body system consisting of a Reissner–Nordström black hole and a charged massive particle at rest is here solved by an exact perturbative solution of the full Einstein–Maxwell system of equations. The expressions of the metric and of the electromagnetic field,…

Image Scaling by de la Vallée-Poussin Filtered Interpolation

We present a new image scaling method both for downscaling and upscaling, running with any scale factor or desired size. The resized image is achieved by sampling a bivariate polynomial which globally interpolates the data at the new scale. The method's particularities lay in both the sampling…

Fluidization and wall slip of soft glassy materials by controlled surface roughness

We present a comprehensive study of concentrated emulsions flowing in microfluidic channels, one wall of which is patterned with micron-size equally spaced grooves oriented perpendicularly to the flow direction. We find a scaling law describing the roughness-induced fluidization as a function of…

The stability and the convergence of a collocation method for a class of Cauchy singular integral equations

The author proves the stability and the uniform convergence of a collocation method for solving Cauchy singular integral equations with regular pertubation kernel. Error estimates in the uniform norm are also given.

Application of the HLSVD Technique to the Filtering of X-Ray Diffraction Data

A filter based on the Hankel-Lanczos singular value decomposition (HLSVD) technique is presented and applied for the first time to X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. Synthetic and real powder XRD intensity profiles of nanocrystals are used to study the filter performances with different noise levels.…

Parallel Sparse Computation Toolkit

This paper presents a new software framework for solving large and sparse linear systems on current hybrid architectures, from small servers to high-end supercomputers, embedding multi-core CPUs and Nvidia GPUs at the node level. The framework has a modular structure and is composed of three main…

A chemo-mechano-biological formulation for the effects of biomechemical alterations on arterial mechanics: the role of molecular transport and multiscale tissue remodelling

This paper presents a chemo-mechano-biological framework for arterialphysiopathology. The model accounts for the fine remodelling in the multi-scale hierarchical arrangement of tissue constituents and for the diffusion of molecular species involved in cell-cell signalling pathways. Effects in terms…

Wavelet density estimation for weighted data

We consider the estimation of a density function on the basis of a random sample from a weighted distribution. We propose linear and nonlinear wavelet density estimators, and provide their asymptotic formulae for mean integrated squared error. In particular, we derive an analogue of the asymptotic…
