Modeling Biology Spanning Different Scales: An Open Challenge

It is coming nowadays more clear that in order to obtain a unified description of the different mechanisms governing the behavior and causality relations among the various parts of a living system, the development of comprehensive computational and mathematical models at different space and time…

FLUVIAL TO TORRENTIAL PHASE TRANSITION IN OPEN CANALS

Network flows and specifically water flow in open canals can be modeled by systems of balance laws defined on graphs. The shallow water or Saint-Venant system of balance laws is one of the most used model and present two phases: fluvial or sub-critical and torrential or super-critical. Phase…

Bayesian models for the two-sample time-course microarray experiments

A truly functional Bayesian method for detecting temporally differentially expressed genes between two experimental conditions is presented. The method distinguishes between two biologically different set ups, one in which the two samples are interchangeable, and one in which the second sample is a…

Particle dynamics and deviation effects in the field of a strong electromagnetic wave

Some strong field effects on test particle motion associated with the propagation of a plane electromagnetic wave in the exact theory of general relativity are investigated. Two different profiles of the associated radiation flux are considered in comparison, corresponding to either constant or…

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and lactate dehydrogenase are targets for therapy of acute liver failure

Background & Aims: Acute liver failure is a rapidly progressive deterioration of hepatic function resulting in high mortality and morbidity. Metabolic enzymes can translocate to the nucleus to regulate histone acetylation and gene expression. Methods: Levels and activities of pyruvate…

Lattice Boltzmann method as a computational framework for multiscale haemodynamics

Recent developments of the lattice Boltzmann method for large-scale haemodynamic applications are presented, with special focus on multiscale aspects, including the self-consistent dynamics of suspended biological bodies and their coupling to surface structures, such as the glycocalyx, in the…

Instability of vertical constant through flows in binary mixtures in porous media with large pores

A binary mixture saturating a horizontal porous layer, with large pores and uniformly heated from below, is considered. The instability of a vertical uid motion (throughflow) when the layer is salted by one salt (either from above or from below) is analyzed. Ultimately boundedness of solutions is…
