We analytically compute, to linear order in the mass ratio, the "geodetic" spin-precession frequency of a small spinning body orbiting a large (nonspinning) body to the eight-and-a-half post-Newtonian order, thereby extending previous analytical knowledge which was limited to the third post-… |

Lattice kinetic equations incorporating the effects of external / internal force fields via a shift of the local fields in the local equilibria are placed within the framework of continuum kinetic theory. The mathematical treatment reveals that in order to be consistent with the correct thermo-… |

The phase-separation process of a binary mixture with order-parameter-dependent mobility under shear flow is numerically studied. The ordering is characterized by an alternate stretching and bursting of domains which produce oscillations in the physical observables. The amplitude of such… |

The objective of the paper is to embed perception rules into the kernel-based target tracking algorithm and to evaluate to what extent these rules are able to improve the original tracking algorithm, without any additional computational cost. To this aim, the target is represented through features… |

Many real life problems can he reduced to the solution of a complex exponentials approximation problem which is usually ill-posed. Recently a new transform for solving this problem, formulated as a specific moments problem in the plane, has been proposed in a theoretical framework. In this work… |

A growing amount of evidences indicates that inflammaging - the chronic, low grade inflammation state characteristic of the elderly - is the result of genetic as well as environmental or stochastic factors. Some of these, such as the accumulation of senescent cells that are persistent during aging… |

We present and compare the performances of two many-core architectures: the Nvidia Kepler and the Intel MIC both in a single system and in cluster configuration for the simulation of spin systems. As a benchmark we consider the time required to update a single spin of the 3D Heisenberg spin glass… |

We consider the problem of short-time extrapolation of blue chips' stocks indexes in the context of wavelet subspaces following the theory proposed by X.-G. Xia and co-workers in a series of papers \cite{XLK,XKZ,LK,LXK}. The idea is first to approximate the oscillations of the corresponding stock… |

?1-Antitrypsin (AAT) encoded by the SERPINA1 gene is an acute-phase protein synthesized in the liver and secreted into the circulation. Its primary role is to protect lung tissue by inhibiting neutrophil elastase. The Z allele of SERPINA1 encodes a mutant AAT, named ATZ, that changes the protein… |

This work reports on vehicular traffic modeling by methods of the discrete kinetic theory. The purpose is to detail a reference mathematical framework for some discrete velocity kinetic models recently introduced in the literature, which proved capable of reproducing interesting traffic phenomena… |
