A Bayesian method for multispectral image data classification

Alzheimer's disease: a mathematical model for onset and progression

In this article we propose a mathematical model for the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease based on transport and diffusion equations. We regard brain neurons as a continuous medium and structure them by their degree of malfunctioning. Two different mechanisms are assumed to be relevant…

Targeting SARS-CoV-2 nsp13 Helicase and Assessment of Druggability Pockets: Identification of Two Potent Inhibitors by a Multi-Site In Silico Drug Repurposing Approach

The SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 13 (nsp13) helicase is an essential enzyme for viral replication and has been identified as an attractive target for the development of new antiviral drugs. In detail, the helicase catalyzes the unwinding of double-stranded DNA or RNA in a 5? to 3? direction…

Variational approximation of a second order free discontinuity problem in computer vision

Exploring and analyzing the tor hidden services graph

The exploration and analysis of Web graphs has flourished in the recent past, producing a large number of relevant and interesting research results. However, the unique characteristics of the Tor network limit the applicability of standard techniques and demand for specific algorithms to explore…

Heuristic methods for the reconstruction of two corrosion parameters from uncomplete boundary data in a thin rectangular domain

This paper deals with the construction of effective heuristic methods for investigating the effect of corrosion on the inaccesible side of a thin metallic plate. In particular, we derive explicit formulas for the Thin Plate Approximation of the positive functions $\gamma$ and $\theta$ that, in…

Mechanotransduction map: simulation model, molecular pathway, gene set

Motivation: Mechanotransduction-the ability to output a biochemical signal from a mechanical input-is related to the initiation and progression of a broad spectrum of molecular events. Yet, the characterization of mechanotransduction lacks some of the most basic tools as, for instance, it can…

Boltzmann Simulation of Thermal Microflows with Heterogeneus Catalysis

Entropic lattice pseudo-potentials for multiphase flow simulations at high Weber and Reynolds numbers

We present an entropic version of the lattice Boltzmann pseudo-potential approach for the simulation of multiphase flows. The method is shown to correctly simulate the dynamics of impinging droplets on hydrophobic surfaces and head-on and grazing collisions between droplets, at Weber and Reynolds…
