Towards a unified lattice kinetic scheme for relativistic hydrodynamics

We present a systematic derivation of relativistic lattice kinetic equations for finite-mass particles, reaching close to the zero-mass ultrarelativistic regime treated in the previous literature. Starting from an expansion of the Maxwell-Juttner distribution on orthogonal polynomials, we perform a…

Efficient determination of the most favoured orientations of protein domains from paramagnetic NMR data

We study the inverse problem of the determination of the most favored relative orientations of moving protein domains from Residual Dipolar Coupling (RDC) measurements. We present a numerical procedure based on the simplex method for the efficient determination of the maximum probability of a given…

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…

Numerical evidence of electron hydrodynamic whirlpools in graphene samples

We present an extension of recent relativistic Lattice Boltzmann methods based on Gaussian quadratures for the study of fluids in (2+1) dimensions. The new method is applied to the analysis of electron flow in graphene samples subject to electrostatic drive; we show that the flow displays hydro-…

The onset of type 2 diabetes: proposal for a multi-scale model

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a common age-related disease, and is a major health concern, particularly in developed countries where the population is aging, including Europe. The multi-scale immune system simulator for the onset of type 2 diabetes (MISSION-T2D) is a European Union-…

Optimization strategies for the entropic Lattice Boltzmann method

Relaxation approximation and asymptotic stability of stratified solutions to the IPM equation

We prove the nonlinear asymptotic stability of stably stratified solutions to the Incompressible Porous Media equation (IPM) for initial perturbations in ?H1- (R2) ? ?H s(R2) with s > 3 and for any 0 < < 1. Such result improves the existing literature, where the asymptotic stability is…

Measurement of Pier Deformation Patterns by Ground-Based SAR Interferometry: Application to a Bollard Pull Trial

In this paper, we describe a new methodology for the nondestructive measurement of absolute displacements of a pier during a bollard pull trial by ground-based synthetic aperture radar (GBSAR) interferometry. This technique measures displacement patterns with a submillimeter precision in any…
