This study describes a semi-empirical model developed to estimate volumetric soil moisture (<mml:semantics>theta v</mml:semantics>) in bare soils during the dry season (March-May) using C-band (5.42 GHz) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery acquired from the Sentinel-1 European… |

Long-range NMR data, namely residual dipolar
couplings (RDCs) from external alignment and paramagnetic
data, are becoming increasingly popular for the
characterization of conformational heterogeneity of multidomain
biomacromolecules and protein complexes. The
question addressed here is how much… |

Two T helper (Th) cell subsets, namely Th1 and Th2 cells, play an important role in inflammatory diseases. The two subsets
are thought to counter-regulate each other, and alterations in their balance result in different diseases. This paradigm has
been challenged by recent clinical and experimental… |

Background: Neutrophils are one of the key players in the human innate immune system (HIIS). In the event of an insult where the body is exposed to inflammation triggering moieties (ITMs), neutrophils are mobilized towards the site of insult and antagonize the inflammation. If the inflammation is… |

Breakup of small aggregates in fully developed turbulence is studied by means of
direct numerical simulations in a series of typical bounded and unbounded flow
configurations, such as a turbulent channel flow, a developing boundary layer and
homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The simplest criterion… |

In this paper an on-line algorithm for the Rectangle Packing
Problem is presented. The method is designed to be able to accept
or reject incoming boxes to maximize efficiency. We provide a wide
computational analysis showing the behavior of the proposed
algorithm as well as a comparison with… |

We numerically study the dynamic behavior under a symmetric shear flow of selected examples of concentrated phase emulsions with multicore morphology confined within a microfluidic channel. A variety of nonequilibrium steady states is reported. Under low shear rates, the emulsion is found to… |

Transport phenomena still stand as one of the most challenging problems in computational physics. By exploiting the analogies between Dirac and lattice Boltzmann equations, we develop a quantum simulator based on pseudospin-boson quantum systems, which is suitable for encoding fluid dynamics… |
