Hydrodynamics of contraction-based motility in a compressible active fluid

Cell motility is crucial to biological functions ranging from wound healing to immune response. The physics of cell crawling on a substrate is by now well understood, whilst cell motion in bulk (cell swimming) is far from being completely characterized. We present here a minimal model for pattern…

Universality of anisotropic fluctuations from numerical simulations of turbulent flows

Numerical results for an accelerated projected gradient method with sparsity constraints for neuroimaging

The purpose of neuroimaging is to investigate the brain functionality through the localization of the regions where bioelectric current flows, starting from the measurements of the magnetic field produced in the outer space. Assuming that each component of the current density vector possesses the…

Visbrain: A Multi-Purpose GPU-Accelerated Open-Source Suite for Multimodal Brain Data Visualization

We present Visbrain, a Python open-source package that offers a comprehensive visualization suite for neuroimaging and electrophysiological brain data. Visbrain consists of two levels of abstraction: (1) objects which represent highly configurable neurooriented visual primitives (3D brain, sources…

Transition to hydrodynamics in colliding fermion clouds

We study the transition from the collisionless to the hydrodynamic regime in a two-component spin-polarized mixture of 40K atoms by exciting its dipolar oscillation modes inside harmonic traps. The time evolution of the mixture is described by the Vlasov–Landau equations and numerically solved with…

Hydrokinetic approach to large-scale cardiovascular blood flow

Penalised robust estimators for sparse and high-dimensional linear models

We introduce a new class of robust M-estimators for performing simultaneous parameter estimation and variable selection in high-dimensional regression models. We first explain the motivations for the key ingredient of our procedures which are inspired by regularization methods used in wavelet…

Spinning test particles in Weyl spacetimes

The motion of spinning test particles along circular orbits in static vacuum spacetimes belonging to the Weyl class is discussed. Spin alignment and coupling with background parameters in the case of superimposed Weyl fields, corresponding to a single Schwarzschild black hole and single Chazy-…
