Metabolite and lipoprotein profiles reveal sex-related oxidative stress imbalance in de novo drug-naive Parkinson's disease patients

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the neurological disorder showing the greatest rise in prevalence from 1990 to 2016. Despite clinical definition criteria and a tremendous effort to develop objective biomarkers, precise diagnosis of PD is still unavailable at early stage. In recent years, an increasing…

Shear-Improved Smagorinsky Model for Large-Eddy Simulation of Wall-Bounded Turbulent Flows

A shear-improved Smagorinsky model is introduced based on recent results concerning shear effects in wall-bounded turbulence by Toschi et al. (2000). The Smagorinsky eddy-viscosity is modified subtracting the magnitude of the mean shear from the magnitude of the instantaneous resolved strain-rate…

Numerical analysis of a first-order in time implicit-symplectic scheme for predator-prey systems

The numerical solution of reaction-diffusion systems modelling predator-prey dynamics using implicit-symplectic (IMSP) schemes is relatively new. When applied to problems with chaotic dynamics they perform well, both in terms of computational effort and accuracy. However, until the current paper, a…

Modelling fluid flows in distensible tubes for applications in hemodynamics

A comprehensive molecular interaction map for rheumatoid arthritis

Background: Computational biology contributes to a variety of areas related to life sciences and, due to the growing impact of translational medicine - the scientific approach to medicine in tight relation with basic science, it is becoming an important player in clinical-related areas. In this…

Scenario-Generation Methods for an Optimal Public Debt Strategy

We describe the methods employed for the generation of possible scenarios for term structure evolution. The problem originated as a request from the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance to find an optimal strategy for the issuance of Public Debt securities. The basic idea is to split the…

Influence of diffusion on the stability of a full Brusselator model

The classic Brusselator model consists of four reactions in- volving six components A, B, D, E, X, Y. In a typical run, the final products D and E are removed instantly, while, the con- centrations of the reactants A and B are kept constant. Then, the classic Brusselator model consisting of two…

A Model for the Restoration of Semi-transparent Defects Based on Lie Groups and Human Visual System

Nonlinear stability analysis of a chemical reaction-diffusion system

A reaction-diffusion model, known as the Sel'kov-Schnakenberg model, is considered. The nonlinear stability of the constant steady state is studied by using a special Liapunov functional and a maximum principle for regular solutions.
